I’ve never had a great sense f directin. And I ften wander int shps and, upn cming back ut, can’t remember which way I’ve cme frm — left r right? Many peple are like me, and why d sme cnstantly have n idea where they are?
The hippcampus (海马体) is a regin f the brain assciated with memry and invlved in sense f directin. And a nearby regin has als been assciated with sense f directin. There are fur knwn types f navigatin-related neurns (神经元), fund in these regins place cells, grid cells, brder cells and head directin cells.
In shrt, yu can think f place cells as an internal cgnitive (认知的) map; they identify where yu are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in ur brain; they tell us abut the relatinship f this place t ther places we’ve been t. Brder cells respnd t the presence f envirnmental bundaries at a specific directin and distance frm us. Lastly, head directin cells are activated when ur head faces a specific directin. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar lcatins, with each grup f cells relating t a specific place.
Our reliance n GPS and smartphnes may have decreased the ability t use ur internal maps. Older adults wh regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippcampus, cmpared with thse wh did nt use GPS. They als perfrmed slightly wrse in a cgnitin test. In cntrast, a study invlving Lndn taxi drivers fund they significantly larger hippcampus than rdinary peple.
Yu can imprve yur way-finding ability specifically by practicing the skill, accrding t Aziz, PhD f neurlgy at Temple University Schl f Medicine. “The mre yu get ut and g t places, the better,” he says. Physical exercise imprves the bld flw t the brain, while mental exercise, such as ding puzzles r learning a new language, stimulates the develpment f new nerve cells and cnnectins in yur brain.
28. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the text?
A. By raising a questin.
B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By stating persnal pinins.
D. By referring t scientific research.
29. What can we learn abut the fur types f navigatin-related neurns?
A. They depend clsely n each ther.
B. They are respnsible fr different jbs.
C. They will decrease in numbers as ne ages.
D. They will fail t functin in unfamiliar situatins.
30. What will happen it we rely t much n GPS?
A. We will easily be misled.
B. Our hippcampus will get enlarged.
C. Our cgnitive ability will be affected.
D. We will have ur hippcampus relaxed.
31. What are we advised t d accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Build up ur bdy.B. Take training curses.
C. Try different brain exercises.D. Get ut t cnnect with peple.

【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Many peple are like me, and why d sme cnstantly have n idea where they are?(很多人都像我一样，为什么有些人总是不知道自己在哪里？)”并结合下文介绍人们是怎样认路，以及为什么有人是路痴可知，作者是通过提出问题方式来引出本文主题的。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In shrt, yu can think f place cells as an internal. cgnitive (认知的) map; they identify where yu are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in ur brain; they tell us abut the relatinship f this place t ther places we’ve been t. Brder cells respnd t the presence f envirnmental bundaries at a specific directin and distance frm us. Lastly, head directin cells are activated when ur head faces a specific directin. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar lcatins, with each grup f cells relating t a specific place.(简而言之，你可以把位置细胞想象成一个内部认知地图；它们能识别你的位置。网格细胞就像我们大脑中的GPS系统；它们告诉我们这个地方与我们去过的其他地方的关系。边界细胞对特定方向和距离的环境边界做出反应。最后，当我们的头朝向一个特定的方向时，头部方向细胞被激活。当我们进入熟悉的地方时，这些细胞会发出电脉冲，每一组细胞都与一个特定的地方有关)”可知，这四种细胞各司其职，在帮助我们辨别方向和位置时起着不同的作用，故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Older adults wh regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippcampus, cmpared with thse wh did nt use GPS. They als perfrmed slightly wrse in a cgnitin test.(与不使用GPS的老年人相比，经常使用GPS的老年人的海马体活动较少。他们在认知测试中的表现也略差)”可知，过度依赖GPS导航会影响我们的认知能力，故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Physical exercise imprves the bld flw t the brain, while mental exercise, such as ding puzzles r learning a new language, stimulates the develpment f new nerve cells and cnnectins in yur brain.(体育锻炼可以促进大脑的血液流动，而智力锻炼，比如做拼图或学习一门新语言，可以刺激大脑中新神经细胞和连接的发育)”可知，作者建议我们尝试不同的脑力训练活动，故选C。
D
Dgs may have earned the title f ur best friends thrugh their interactins with humans, but nw researchers say these scial skills culd, be present shrtly after birth rather than being learned.
T better understand the rle f bi lgy in dgs’ abilities t cmmunicate with humans, the researchers studied 375 eight-week-ld service dgs. They lked at hw these dgs perfrmed in a series f tasks. designed t measure their cmmunicatin skills. The puppies were still living with their littermates (同窝出生者) and had nt been sent t live with a vlunteer puppy raiser, making it unlikely that they had learned abut his r her behavir.
In the first task, a persn hid a treat. beneath ne f tw verturned cups and pinted t it t see if the puppy culd fllw the gesture. Since dgs are gd at using nses t find things a treat was als taped t the insides f, bth cups. In the secnd task, puppies watched as the researchers placed a yellw, blck next t/the crrect cup, instead f pinting t indicate where the puppy shuld lk fr the fd.
The third task was designed t bserve puppies’ tendency t lk at human faces. The researchers spke t the puppy in a vice peple smetimes use when talking t a baby. They then. measured hw lng the puppy fixed a stare n the human.
In, the last task, researchers sealed a. treat inside a clsed cntainer and presented it t the puppy. They then measured hw ften the puppy lked t the human fr help in pening the cntainer.
The study fund that while many f the puppies were respnsive t humans’ physical and verbal cues, very few lked t humans fr help with the unslvable task. Researchers said, “This suggests that while puppies may be brn knwing hw t respnd t human-initiated cmmunicatin, the ability t initiate cmmunicatin n their wn may cme later.” The next step will be t see if specific genes that may cntribute t dgs’ abilities t cmmunicate with humans can be identified.
32. Why were eight-week-ld service dgs chsen fr the study?
A. They were the best age t learn.
B. They were cute and safe t deal with.
C. They were unlikely influenced by their mates.
D. They had had little cntact with humans befre.
33. What is the researchers’ purpse in taping fd t bth cups?
A. T prvide clues fr the puppies’ final decisins.
B. T make cmparisns between different cnditins.
C. T prevent the puppies frm making use f their smell.
D. T check the puppies’ preference fr a particular clr.
34. What can we knw frm the study?
A. Puppies can understand ur bdy language.
B. Puppies are gd at asking humans fr help.
C. Puppies are brn t aruse cmmunicatin with humans.
D. Puppies need specific genes t cmmunicate with humans.
35. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Dgs——talented perfrmersB. Dgs—humans’ best friends
C. Dgs—brn t be able t learnD. Dgs—brn t understand humans
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究人员表示，这些社交技能可能在出生后不久就会出现，而不是后天习得的。文章主要介绍了关于狗天生就能理解人类的研究过程以及研究发现小狗可能一出生就知道如何回应人类发起的交流，但他们自己发起交流的能力可能要晚一些。
【32题详解】

【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. G 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了待办事项清单可以提高效率，分析了背后的原因。
【36题详解】
根据后文“Write them dwn, d the tasks and crss them ff-simple!(把它们写下来，完成任务，然后划掉——简单！)”可知，本句给出的建议是制定待办事项清单，故F选项“然而，有一个简单的工具可以帮助我们掌握一切，那就是待办事项清单”符合题意，且与上文“Overflwing email inbxes, husewrk, scial bligatins, it can be easy t feel at a lss.(邮箱爆满，家务，社会责任，很容易让人不知所措)”构成明显的转折关系。故选F。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Firstly, they help t drwn ut the chas and anxiety that cme with having never-ending tasks. By writing everything dwn, we dn’t have t rely n ur memry.(首先，它们有助于淹没无休止的任务带来的混乱和焦虑。通过把所有的东西都写下来，我们就不必依赖我们的记忆了)”以及Secndly和finally可知，本段的主旨是清单是好处的三个原因。故C选项“为什么清单是有益的有三个关键原因”符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“By writing everything dwn, we dn’t have t rely n ur memry.(通过把所有的东西都写下来，我们就不必依赖我们的记忆了)”可知，上文提到了通过把所有的东西都写下来，我们就不必依赖我们的记忆，由此可知，我们可以把注意力集中在手头的任务上。故A选项“我们可以把注意力集中在手头的任务上”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Anther pssible reasn ur brains lve lists is smething called the “Zeigarnik effect”. This is the name psychlgists use fr when we remember things we need t d better than things we have already cmpleted.(我们的大脑喜欢清单的另一个可能原因是所谓的“蔡加尼克效应”。心理学家用这个词来形容我们记住的事情要比我们已经完成的事情做得更好)”以及后文“The experiment began with a warm-up task, thugh it was stpped half-way thrugh, and nly sme peple were allwed t make plans t finish it.(实验从一个热身任务开始，但中途停止了，只有一些人被允许制定完成任务的计划)”可知，本句是在说明研究人员在一些人身上测试上文提到的“蔡加尼克效应”。故G选项“研究人员测试了“蔡加尼克效应”对一组人的干扰”符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“The experiment began with a warm-up task, thugh it was stpped half-way thrugh, and nly sme peple were allwed t make plans t finish it. The researchers fund that the grup permitted t plan had reduced anxiety and perfrmed better in the secnd task.The prblem was that the thers still had the warm-up task stuck in their active memry-an unticked list f tasks. (实验从一个热身任务开始，但中途停止了，只有一些人被允许制定完成任务的计划。研究人员发现，被允许做计划的那组人焦虑减少，在第二项任务中表现更好。问题是其他人的活动记忆中仍然有热身任务——一个未打勾的任务列表)”可知，完成清单中的任务可以让大脑放松。故E选项“所以，一旦我们在清单上划掉某件事，我们的大脑就会忘记它，我们就可以放松了”符合语境，故选E。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了秦始皇的成就和对中国产生的影响。
【56题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：几个世纪过去了，历史学家仍然记得统一中国的第一位皇帝所取得的成就。histrian“历史学家”，可数名词，由“are”此处应用名词复数形式作主语。故填histrians。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们必须承认，秦始皇的成功是持久的，对中国的未来是有益的。此处和形容词“helpful”并列，应用形容词作表语。故填lasting。
【58题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：当秦始皇在公元前220年第一次掌权时，中国被分成了许多王国。根据时间状语从句“When Qin Shi Huang first came int pwer in 220 BCE”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，应使用一般过去时，且主语China和动词divide构成被动关系， 所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语表示单数意义，故填was divided。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：为了统一中国，他发动了反对其他六国的战争。结合“unify China”可知，此处指“反对其他六国的战争”，应用介词against，故填against。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：秦始皇对中国文化产生了深远的影响。have a prfund impact n意为“对……有深远的影响”。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他帮助挖掘运河和修路以方便旅行。此处表目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填t facilitate。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：他在中国政府中极具影响力。此处用副词修饰形容词“influential”。故填extremely。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：秦始皇创造了重量、体积和长度的统一测量标准。本空与上文名词“weight”和“vlume”并列，故此处应用lng的名词形式作宾语。故填length。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他要求他的宰相李斯统一八种书写方式，并在其他国家推广，并吸收一些简体字来创造标准化的秦。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是“eight calligraphic (书写的) styles”，关系词在从句中作主语，代指事物，故用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。本空作定语修饰characters，动词simplify和名词characters之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填simplified。
