A child genius(天才) is someone who at a very early age shows extraordinary skill in one or more areas. Emily Bear is such a child. She has performed at Carnegie Hall, the White House, world-class shows, and on an album (唱片集) produced by Quincy Jones — all before the age of eleven.
Most children at Emily Bear’s age are playing video games or getting together with friends for a weekend of movies and fun. But the young performer is instead directing her attention to her music. You can find her preparing for her next television appearance, writing songs, performing in public or sharing the recording studio with famous musicians. Among them is Quincy Jones, who worked with Emily on her new album “Diversity.” Emily says working with Quincy Jones was one of the most exciting events in her life.
Emily Bear was born and raised in Rockford, Illinois. She was already singing and playing the piano when she was two years old. At the age of six, she was invited to play the piano on the Ellen DeGeneres television show. Her performance was such a hit that she was invited back to the show five more times.
Emily Bear is in high demand to play at performing arts centers around the world and has become quite a world traveler. She said, “I love traveling. I’ve seen China and Italy and France and London and Switzerland and Vienna. Actually, we’re going with Quincy this summer to Switzerland for the Montreux Jazz Festival.” The young musician composed(作曲) all of the songs on her new album “Diversity.” This includes the song “Q”, which she wrote in honor of Quincy Jones.
Although her life is very busy, she still enjoys getting together with friends, watching movies and answering fan mail.

A. She can play video games. B. She has no friends to play with.
C. She lives a more active life. D. She puts her heart into music.
23. Emily travels around the world to____.

C. give performances D. receive advanced studies

Last week I went to visit my relatives. When I reached London, I found my plane to Newcastle had been cancelled due to bad weather.
The airline was helpful—offering me a choice between a night in a hotel or a six-hour bus ride to my destination. Not knowing whether a flight to Newcastle would happen in the next two days, I chose the bus ride.
I stored all my baggage in the luggage space of the bus, thinking I would not need anything on the journey.
The young lady sitting beside me could see how tired I was and asked me if anyone would be meeting me on my arrival.
I realized that I had left my cell phone in my bag and had no way to contact my relatives. They would be waiting for me at the airport about five hours before the bus got to Newcastle, not knowing what had happened. Without hesitation, the young lady offered me the use of her cell phone.
When the bus made a rest stop, she asked me if I was getting out. I replied that I wouldn’t as I still had sandals (凉鞋) on, and bare feet weren’t suitable for the cold weather. When she got back on, she’d bought me some tea and a packet of sweets to eat.
When we eventually arrived in Newcastle, the woman checked that someone was there to meet me. I asked her to wait a moment while I got my purse to repay her, but when I looked up she had gone. I was unable to even express my thanks to her.
25. We can learn from the passage that the author ______.
A. was late for the plane to Newcastle
B. planned to meet his relatives in London
C. lost his cell phone when travelling in Britain
D. probably went to London from a warm place
26. Which of the following information may be the most important to the author’s relatives?
A. When the author would arrive in Newcastle. B. Why the flight was cancelled.
C. Where the author spent the night. D. When the weather became fine.
27. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. London often suffers from terrible weather.
B. Carelessness may sometimes lead to much trouble.
C. The author met a helpful woman on his journey.
D. The airline was responsible for every passenger.
C
You wash your hands many times every day, but do you think they are really clean? To tell you the truth, they’re still covered with microbes, also called “bacteria”. Microbes are everywhere. But don’t worry—most microbes don’t harm you, and many actually help you stay alive.
Now, scientists say the microbes that live on our hands could be useful in a surprising way: fighting crime.
When the police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identify the criminal (罪犯). But according to a recent study, investigators could even use microbes to help break a criminal case.
Every person has his or her own set of microbes that live on their hands, according to scientists at the University of Colorado. That means the mix of different kinds of microbes on everybody’s hands is unique—much like one’s fingerprints.
The scientists wanted to know whether this microbe mix could be used as a new kind of fingerprint—especially in a crime scene where fingerprints might be hard to find. And policemen use forensics such as studying fingerprints to identify the criminal.
“Microbe fingerprints are harder to hide, ”said Noah Fierer, one of the scientists, “You can’t sterilize(杀菌)a surface just by wiping it off. ”
His team compared the bacteria on the hands of 273 people to the bacteria found on each person’s computer keyboard. For the study, the keyboards had been used only by the people who were being tested. The study showed that the mix of microbes from each person’s hands matched the mix of microbes on that person’s keyboard. The scientists were easily able to tell the 273 people apart—just by looking at their keyboards.
But there are a lot more than 273 criminals. Other scientists wonder whether the microbe fingerprint can really be that useful. Fierer agrees that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe fingerprint will be a useful tool.
28. Fierer’ s team found through the study that .
A. they found the criminal among the 273 people
B. they could tell who had used the computer
C. computer keyboards couldn’t keep people’s microbe fingerprints
D. people’s hands could be recognized by the computer they used
29. The underlined word “forensics” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to_____.
A. a new kind of fingerprint B. a kind of newly invented keyboard
C. a kind of bacteria on people’s hands D. the scientific test used by the police
30. The passage tells us that_____.
A. your microbes may give you away
B. scientists will put this method into practice soon
C. many scientists think microbe fingerprints useless
D. the microbe fingerprint has been used in many cases
31. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to fight against crimes B. The usefulness of microbes
C. The importance of fingerprints D. Different germs on our hands

D
Neddine Parker is up by 7 in the morning. After her morning exercises and some housework, she drives to the local hospital, where she volunteers once a week. What makes Parker’s routine so extraordinary is that she is 104 years old.
“I don’t know why I’m still here,” she said.
Dr. Thomas Perls of the Boston University Medical Center is trying to figure that out. As the director of the New England Centenarian (百岁老人) Study, he studies the super humans aged 100 years and older.
“It’s like winning the lottery,” he said. “You’ve got to choose the right numbers and the right combination.”
Researchers believe about 30 percent of aging is genetic(遗传的). For those who get to extremely old ages, family history may play an even more important role.
Reuben Landau’s mother lived to 100, and three of his brothers and sisters into their 90s. Landau is nearly 102，and he still practices law a few hours every day. Both Landau and Parker are remarkably healthy. They take few medicine and have no major illness.
Perls has found that many centenarians lack a type of gene—E4—that is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. One study found the gene is in 29 percent of young men, but only 15 percent of centenarians. Perls also believes they may have a ‘protective gene”, one that helps them survive what might kill others. Parker, for example，smoked until she was 100 and had a stroke (中风)at 89.
However，living into your 100s isn’t just genetics. Aging successfully has much to do with environment and behavior. Landau watches what he eats and exercises his body and mind every day. He’s convinced it’s why he’s still in good health. “People still have to do the right things to get to very old age,” said Perls. So it’s not just the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.
32. According to the first two paragraphs, Parker can’t understand _____.
A. why researchers are studying her
B. why she still can manage her routine
C. why she is still living at the age of 104
D. why she volunteers once a week in the hospital
33. By saying “It’s like winning the lottery,” Dr. Thomas Perls means ___.
A. it takes a long time to win a lottery
B. it is quite unusual to be a centenarian
C. it is very difficult to find “super humans”
D. it is a tough job investigating the aging process
34. According to the research, Landau and Parker are remarkably healthy because ____ .
A. the family gene plays a big part B. they enjoy sports and housework
C. they are very active in mind D. they are fond of social work
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. gene E4 may reduce the risk of heart disease
B. the old can have a stroke because of smoking
C. genes are not associated with some types of deadly diseases
D. environment and living habits are as important as genes

When it comes to learning a second language, adults are at a disadvantage. There’s still hope, though. 36 Try these methods that are known for improving learning and memory.
1. Keep spaced repetition（重复）.
Spaced repetition is a proven memory technique that helps you keep what you’ve learned strong in your mind. The way it works is you review each word or phrase you’ve learned in spaced intervals(间隔). At the beginning the intervals will be smaller: you might review a new word a few times in one practice period, and then again the next day. 37
2. Learn before you sleep.
One of the many benefits we get from sleep is that it helps to clear out the brain’s “inbox” – the temporary storage of new information and memories from our time awake. 38 Once it’s safely stored, spaced repetition will help to strengthen the connection so we can recall the information faster and more accurately.
3. 39
Once you’ve mastered the basics of a new language, try including some content on a topic you’re interested in to improve your understanding. You could have conversations with friends learning the same language, read articles online or listen to a podcast(播客) to test your comprehension.
4. Practice a little every day.
If you’re busy, you might put off your studying and arrange a large amount of learning once every week or two. 40 Because your brain’s “inbox” has limited space, you’ll hit the limit of how much you can take in pretty quickly if you study for hours at a time.
A. Mix new and old.
B. However, studying a little every day is actually more effective.
C. If you really want to learn a language, it’s not necessarily too late.
D. Learning languages is something we’re born to do.
E. Study content, not the language.
F. We need sleep to move anything we’ve recently learned into our brain’s long term storage.
G. Once you know it well you can leave days or weeks between revisions without forgetting it.
