30、 the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffsIf someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our campSeveral days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a dayThat afternoon, we had supper earlyWe were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked

31、past and went down towards the riverWe all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anythingWe ate rather slowly, talking as long as possibleAfter finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river

32、 where we always washed themBut no one moved towards the river -we stood looking at each other ashamedThen all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past usWe agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the riverWe knew that he could only return b

33、y passing through our campAn hour passedThen one of the boys suggested we should creep（悄悄移动）down by the river so that we could see what the man was doingMoving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bankOne boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearlyHe called

34、 to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefullyWe could not understand where the man had goneWhen it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewilderedWe told the scoutmaster what had happened in the eveningSmiling, he doubted that we had seen the man,

35、 but finally suggested we go and look againWe did, but there was no one thereMany years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterdayWhat did we see? I do not know41The writer in the text mainly tells us _Athe story of his childhood Ba strange camping experienceCabout a stranger by th

36、e river Dabout a good place for camping42Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?AThey wanted to delay going to the river bank BThey were waiting for their scoutmasterCThey had a supper earlier than usual DThey were talking while eating43The word "bewildered" in the text probably means _A

37、ashamed Bnervous Cunable to understand Deager to know something44When he heard what had happened, the scoutmaster _Arealized who the man was Bstarted to worry about the manCwent back to look for the man Dfelt it hard to believe the boysBThe PenPeople have never been satisfied with simply talkingFor

38、some reason, they have always considered their ideas to be so important that they have always tried to find ways to record them on paperPeople have developed many systems of writing; they have also developed various tools with which to writeOne of the first instruments developed by people for writin

39、g was the stylusIt was a sharp instrument made of bone or metal, and with it, the writer could make marks on stone or woodIt was used for thousands of years and was very practicalWhen the Egyptians invented the first paper-like material called papyrus, they needed something to write on itTherefore,

40、they developed the idea of using pen and inkTheir version of the pen was made from bambooThey sharpened one end of the stem （or the body） to make a nib, that is, the point which you write withThen they filled the empty part of the stem with ink and forced the ink onto the nibIt was a good idea, but

41、when paper was introduced later, a much finer instrument was neededThe problem was solved with the introduction of the quill penThe quill is a large feather from the wing or tail of a birdBecause this pen was a feather, however, it had to be sharpened quite oftenA special instrument was made for thi

42、s purpose: the penknifeThe quill was used from the 6th through the 18th century, but in the 19th century a machine was invented to make a nib out of metal, and this solved the problem of sharpeningThe metal nib could be fitted into a holder and dipped into a bottle of inkFinally, in 1884, a young Am

43、erican, Lewis Waterman, found a way of putting the ink into the holder, and the fountain pen as we know it was complete45According to the text, people have developed various systems of writing because they _Ahave tried to find new ways Bhave been satisfied with what they haveChave invented tools to

44、write with Dhave wanted to write down what they think46The quill pen was better than the stylus because people could _Asharpen it frequently Bwrite finely on paperCforce the ink onto the nib Dmake clear signs on stone47A nib made from metal was an advantage because _Ait was used for many centuries B

45、it didnt need to be sharpenedCthe pens couldnt be filled with ink Dpeople could fit it into a bottle of ink48Which of the following is TRUE?APeople could write on paper with the stylusBThe quill pen was developed by the EgyptiansCThe fountain pen was developed in the 6th centuryDPeople could use ink

46、 with a pen made from bambooCA new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as a result of a condition known as jet lagJet lag results from flying long distances in an airplanePeople with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several daysThey may also have problems thinking clearly a

47、nd rememberingRecently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlinesThey had served passengers on airplanes for five yearsThese flight attendants flew across many countries and

48、at least seven time zonesIn the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lagHalf the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flightsThe other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areasThe researcher took some saliva（唾液） from t

49、he womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone （荷尔蒙） that increases during stressHe tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screenAnd he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brains temporal lobes （脑叶）It was found that the women who had

50、less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobesThis area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seenThe same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory testAnd their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormonesThe researcher bel

51、ieves the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long tripHe says airline workers told him their ability to remember went worse after working on planes for about four yearsOther studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that con

52、trols memoryScientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brainThey want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory49According to the text, jet lag _Acan cause difficulties in speaking Bcan make people feel tired for a few monthsCcan be only found i

53、n flight attendants Dcan be caused by flying over several time zones50It can be inferred from the passage that _Ascientists refuse to accept that jet lag could permanently affect memoryBscientists fear that this research is not done properlyCmemory is closely connected with the size of the brains ri

54、ght temporal lobesDthe women who were examined in the research were not healthy51From the result of the research we can see that _Athe women who have a longer rest between long flights show better memoryBthe women who fly for a short time have smaller right temporal lobesCthe women who have longer f

56、DViolin prodigies（神童）, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regionsMost of the great performers if the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern EuropeI asked Isaac Stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon“It

57、is very clear,” he told me“They were all Jews（犹太人）and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the worldThey were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage” As a result, every Jewish parents dream was to h

58、ave a child in the music school because it was a passport to the WestAnother element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture（培育）talentNowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East“In Japan, a most competitive socie

59、ty, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stem, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including musicWhen Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as wellThe Koreans and Chin

60、ese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the JapaneseThats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hardNext to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy JSBach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons

61、 had significant careers in music53Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because _Ait would allow them access to a better life in the WestBJewish children are born with excellent musical talent Cthey wanted their children to enter into the professional field Dit would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country54Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passa
