When asked abut her childhd in the dcumentary Alive Inside, a 90-year-ld wman with dementia replies,“I’ve frgtten s much.” Film-maker Michael Rssat-Bennett then plays music frm her past fr her. “That’s Luis Armstrng,” she says. “He’s singing When the Saints G Marching In and it takes me back t my schl days.” She then recalls exact details frm her life.
Why des it happen? Music tends t accmpany events that aruse emtins r therwise make strng impressins n us—such as weddings and graduatins. These kinds f experiences frm strng memries, and the music and memries likely becme intertwined(紧密相连) in ur neural(神经的) netwrks, accrding t Julene Jhnsn, a prfessr at the University f Califrnia. Mvements, such as dancing, als ften pair with ur experience f music, which can help frm memries. Even many years later,hearing the music can bring back memries f these lng-past events.
As Alive Inside shws,music has this pwer even fr many peple with dementia. Researchers nte that the brain areas that prcess and remember music are typically less damaged by dementia than ther areas, and they think it may explain the phenmenn.
They als pay attentin t elderly peple with dementia, especially thse in nursing hmes. “It’s pssible thse lng-term memries are still there,” Jhnsn says,“but peple just have a harder time accessing them because they’re in a strange place and there’re nt a lt f circumstances in which smene culd pull ut thse memries.”
Jhnsn als ntes that music is nt universally useful fr all peple with dementia since there are sme peple with dementia whse brain area that recgnizes music is damaged.
Despite music’s apparent benefits, few studies have explred its influence n memry recall in peple with dementia. “It’s really an untapped area,” Jhnsn says. Petr Janata is a researcher investigating the tpic f music and memry. He says that scientists still d nt have the answers t why and hw music reawakens memries in peple with dementia, but this phenmenn is real and it’s just a matter f time befre it’s fully brne ut by scientific research.
24．What helps the ld wman in Alive Inside recall her childhd?
A．The descriptin f her schl days B．A film she watched befre.
C．A sng she listened t befre. D．The vice f her childhd friend.
25．What benefit f music is discussed in paragraph 2?
A．It helps make lasting memries. B．It helps cure patients f dementia.
C．It helps aruse emtins in special events. D．It helps remember dance mvements easily.
26．Accrding t Jhnsn, what shuld we d fr elderly peple with dementia?
A．Send them t nursing hmes fr gd care. B．Prvide familiar envirnments fr them.
C．Play lts f classical music t them. D．Talk t them abut their past.
27．What d we knw abut the study int music and memry recall in peple with dementia?

Sme games fade int near irrelevance, while thers pass the test f time and cntinue t be enjyed by millins f peple frm all ver the wrld. Bing is a hugely entertaining game played all ver the wrld and it has been arund fr rughly five centuries. It’s impssible t tell the exact time the game was invented, but rugh estimatins place its birth arund 1530. The first players t enjy this game were thse wh ften went t the II Gic del Ltt d’ Italia(意大利彩票)and it quickly became available in France.
Bing is nw available at nline bing sites listed at bingsites, net and peple enjy it n virtual and real currency. Back in the day, it wasn’t necessarily a game played fr prfit, but rather a pleasant pastime with multiple uses. Few peple knw that bing was used as an educatinal tl in Germany at the turn f the 18th century. Children had mre fun playing this game while learning abut multiplicatin tables and spelling, and in this cuntry, the name was called Tmbla,
Bing was ne f the last games t be added t the prtflis f nline casins (赌场), well after slts, table games, and vide pkers. Players were reluctant t switch frm brick — and — mrtar lcatins t nline bing rms. Bing is a game that fsters scial interactins and in the absence f this key ingredient, it is far less exciting t play n real r virtual currency. Internet bing rms were able t address this cncern by develping chat features allwing gamers t talk t each ther while playing. Online bing rms are nw licensed and regulated, s players can sign up fr an accunt, make a depsit and gamble securely. The license gives them peace f mind, as they knw that they dn’t break any laws by playing the game n real mney. Anther reasn nline bing is s ppular is that yu can try the game fr free using the virtual currency which is replenished indefinitely. Mbile devices are als ideal fr playing the game, with all that is needed being an Internet cnnectin.
28．What is intended t be stressed in the first paragraph?
A．Bing’s ppularity. B．Bing’s develpment.
C．Bing’s mystery. D．Bing’s inventin.
29．What’s the writer’s attitude tward Bing?
A．Critical. B．Skeptical.
C．Psitive. D．Unclear.
30．What d the underlined wrds “this cncern” refer t?
A．Bring nline rms. B．Lack f cmmunicatin.
C．Absence f real mney. D．Ppularity f physical bing lcatins.
31．Which f the fllwing can be the best title f this passage?
A．Bing — An educatinal tl B．Online bing — A hit arund the wrld
C．Bing — An everlasting game D．Online Bing — A game f mbile devices

It is well knwn that rhins (犀牛) have pr eyesight, s they mstly rely n their nses t understand the wrld arund them. But there’s ne interactin in which sund plays a key rle. Suthern white rhin males can either be dminant (支配地位的) r subrdinate. And nly the dminant males hld and defend territries. New search finds that they can distinguish the calls f ther males t knw wh is wh.
“ We fund that cntact calls carry infrmatin abut the dminance status f the males. It means that nly by listening t the calls, yu can say if the male is territrial r subrdinate.” Ivana Cinkval, a zlgist at the University f KwaZulu-Natal in Suth Africa.
She and her team spent almst tw years in Suth Africa’s Hluhluwe-iMflzi Park recrding the scial cntact calls f male rhins. Then they played thse calls back t dminant territrial males and watched the respnses.
The researchers asked that the rhin calls nt be included in this prgram due t the cncern that calls might be used fr illegal hunting. Back t the reactins f the rhins.
“They started t search fr the unexpected visitr the mst quickly and spent the lngest time searching arund fr the unwelcme visitr after the playback f the subrdinate call, which was quite surprising.”
Only territrial male rhins hld breeding (交配繁育) pprtunities with the female rhins. Subrdinate males culd thus be interested in challenging the territrial male fr dminance. But dminant males rarely lse their territries t subrdinate males, at least while they’re in prime cnditin.
32．What d dminant males rely n t identify thers?
A．Sense f hearing. B．Sense f tuch.
C．Sense f sight. D．Sense f smell.
33．Why didn’t researchers allw recrded calls t be included in the prgram?
A．T prtect their intellectual prperty rights.
B．T keep peple frm being frightened by them.
C．T prevent them frm being used fr hunting rhins.
D．T cver up the fact f illegal hunting in rhins.
34．Hw did dminant males react t the subrdinate call?
A．They started t search fr a hiding place.
B．They sught fr the cmer quickly and carefully.
C．They ran away frm the unexpected visitrs.
D．They lked arund with great alarm.
35．What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A．Territrial males’ dminance is generally stable.
B．Dminance males’ psitin is challenging.
C．Subrdinate males are aggressive.
D．Subrdinate males have breeding pprtunities.

Hw much time d yu spend ding research befre yu make a decisin? There are peple wh g ver every detail exhaustively befre making a chice. 36 Psychlgists call this way f thinking a cgnitive bias (认知偏见), a tendency tward a specific mental mistake.
T study “jumping”, we examined decisin-making patterns amng mre than 600 peple frm the general ppulatin. We fund that jumpers made mre errrs than nn-jumpers n prblems that require thughtful analysis. 37 In a quiz abut US citizens, they verestimated the chance that their answers were right significantly mre than ther participants did — even when their answers were wrng.
S what is behind “jumping”? Psychlgical researchers cmmnly distinguish between tw pathways f thught: autmatic system, which reflects ideas that cme t the mind easily and withut effrt, and cntrlled system including cnscius and effrtful reasning. Jumpers and nn-jumpers are equally influenced by autmatic thughts. 38
It is the cntrlled system that helps peple cunter balance mental biases intrduced by the autmatic system. As a result, jumpers were mre likely t accept the cnclusin made at first sight withut further questining. A lack f cntrlled thinking is als mre bradly cnnected t their prblematic beliefs and faulty reasning.
39 A methd called cgnitive training can be used t target their biases, which can help peple think mre deliberatively. In this training, participants are faced with their wn biases. They can learn abut the missteps and ther ways f thinking thrugh the prblem at hand. It helps t gradually get rid f participants’ vercnfidence.
In everyday life, the questin f whether we shuld think things thrugh r instead jump t a cnclusin is a frequent and imprtant ne. 40 Smetimes the mst imprtant decisin we make can be t take sme mre time befre making a chice.
A．Happily, there may be sme hpe fr jumpers.
B．Als, jumpers had prblems with vercnfidence.
C．We plan t trace ther prblems intrduced by jumping.
D．But a fair number f individuals are quick t jump t cnclusins.
E．It is certainly pssible fr them t verthink things t take a decisin.
F．The jumpers, hwever, did nt engage in cntrlled reasning t the same degree as nn-jumpers.
G．Recent studies shw that even gathering just a little bit mre evidence may help us avid a majr mistake.

My family mved t a small twn in central Gergia, where my dad gt a visa fr his family and a jb. I had just learned English, and frm what little I culd gather frm my friends, Santa Claus wuld cme dwn ne’s chimney and put tys in ne’s stcking n Christmas Eve! After I lked up “stcking” in my dictinary, I knew what I had t d and always expected that day.
Finally, the big day came. On that wnderful night, after everyne went t bed, I sneaked ut f bed, tk my lngest, cleanest knee sck and attached it t a nail already n the mantel (壁炉). Obviusly, the previus wners f this huse were n strangers t this Santa character. Gazing at the sck and imagining the delicately-packed gift in it, I culdn’t help giggling (咯咯笑). Fr the first time, I fund it hard t fall asleep.
And fr the first time, I wke up befre everyne else in the early mrning. Then I headed straight t the fireplace and was even ready fr what t say after seeing the gift. Hwever, what happened next was the least thing I wanted t mentin. On the nail was the empty and lnely sck. I was hit with the reality f the empty sck and the biggest lie ever tld. I tried my best t hld back my tears but failed. Bursting int tears, I quickly tk dwn the sck and stuffed it in the back f a drawer.
Every December since then, the tpic f Christmas memries wuld unavidably cme up, and I wuld amuse my friends with my pr-little-me stry. I had t make it as funny as pssible, r else I wuld cry nce again. I didn’t knw whether any f my audience ever nticed the sparkling tears hidden in my eyes.
Hw culd I knw that Santa was just late? Nine years ag, n Christmas Eve, I heard a knck n the dr when I was watching TV. Unwillingly, I dragged my feet and pened the dr.
