10、ore.” No one knows when the Mediterranean civilizations fell in love with olives. That occurred before recorded history. However, there is evidence that the cultivation (种植) of olive trees began in countries around the Mediterranean Sea in approximately 4000 B.C., and 2000 years after that people in

11、 the eastern Mediterranean area began to produce oil from olives. The Mediterranean still accounts for 99 percent of all world olive oil production.From ancient times until today, the basic process of producing the oil is the same. First, whole olives are pressed hard into pieces. Then, the liquid i

12、s separated from the solids. After that, the valuable oil is separated from the water.Many olive growers make their ancient traditions continue and still harvest the olives by hand. “We harvest in the traditional way,” says Don Celso, an olive farmer from Tuscany, Italy. “It would be less expensive

13、to do it with machines, but its more a social thing. Twenty people come to help with the harvest, and we pay them in oil.”Olive oil has had a variety of uses through its long history. In ancient times, olive oil was used as money and as medicine. It was even used during warheated up and dropped down

14、 on attackers. It is still used in religious ceremonies. It is great for protecting the freshness of fish and cheese. There are even olive oil lamp and olive oil soaps.One important study shows that Mediterranean people have the lowest rate of heart disease among Western nations. This is partly asso

15、ciated with their frequent use of olive oil. Other studies show that food cooked in olive oil is healthier, and that eating olive oil twice a day reduces womens risk of getting breast cancer. The world is beginning to understand its benefits, and olive oil is no longer an unusual sight at dinner tab

16、les outside the Mediterranean area. The olive oil producing countries now sell large amounts of olive oil to countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America.Olive oil improves the lives of people everywhere. Its benefits, recently confirmed by science, were already understood in ancie

17、nt times. Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world.1. Which step occurs first in olive oil production?A. Drying the olives under the sun.B.

What we must remember, however, is not merely how powerful character is in influencing our fate (命运), but

21、how powerful we are in shaping our own character and, therefore, our own fate. Character may determine our fate, but character is not determined by fate.Its a common mistake to think of character as something that is fully formed and fixed very early in life. It calls to mind old proverbs like “A le

22、opard（猎豹）cant change its spots” and “You cant teach an old dog new tricks.”This perspective that our character is etched in stone is supported by a great deal of modern psychology emphasizing self-acceptance. As Popeye says, “I am what I am.” The hidden message is: dont expect me to be more, better,

23、 or different.Ultimately, these views of humanity totally undervalue the lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice.How depressing it would be to believe that we cant choose to be better, more honest, more respectful, more responsible, and more caring. None of u

24、s should give up the personal seeking to improve our character. Not because were bad, we dont have to be sick to get better, but because were not as good as we could be.There are so many things in life we cant control, whether were beautiful or smart, whether we had good parents or bad, whether we g

25、rew up with affirmation or negation. Its inspiring to remember that nothing but moral will power is needed to make us better.No, it isnt easy. But if we make a great effort to become more aware of the habits of heart and mind that drive our behavior, we can begin to place new emphasis on our higher

26、values so that we become what we want our children to think we are.5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean? A. is carved in the stone with knives.B. is controlled by oneself. C. can be better and different. D. cant be changed easily.6. Which of the following would the writer agree with?

27、 A. A leopard cant change its spots.B. We must attach importance to self-acceptance. C. We should value our lifelong potential for growth.D. We should make choices constantly. 7. What do we need to improve ourselves according to the author? A. Our smartness.B. Our will power.C. Our fate.D. Our chara

28、cter.8. What is the best title of the passage?A.Character can be formed and fixed.B. Character determines our fate.C.We shape our own character. D. Changing our character isnt easy.CSleep is as mysterious as it is important for our health. Over the decades, researchers have put forward several syste

29、ms through which sleep makes us energetic again, but still dont fully understand the big picture. Now, two recently published studies come up with an interesting explanation: we sleep to forget some of the things we learn during the day.We store memories in networks in our brains. Whenever we learn

30、something new, we grow new connection between neurons (神经元), called synapses (突触). In 2003, Giulio Tononi and Chiara Girelli, biologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, put forward something very interesting: during the day, we learn so much and develop so many synapses that things sometimes

31、 get unclear. Since then, the two and their colleagues have made quite a few interesting additions to that study.For starters, they showed that neurons can cut out some synapses, at least in the lab. But they suspected the same things happens every day, naturally, in our brains -probably during slee

32、p.So they set up a painstaking experiment, in which Luisa de Vivo, an assistant scientist working in their lab, collected 6,920 synapses from mice, both awake and sleeping. Then, they determined the shape and size of all these synapses, learning that the synapses in sleeping mice were 18 percent sma

33、ller than in awake ones. Thats quite a big margin.After this, they designed a memory test for mice. They placed the animals in a room where they would get a mild electrical shock if they walked over one particular section of the floor. They injected some of the mice with a material that had been pro

34、ved to prevent the cutting of new synapses. The mice that experienced this would more likely forget about the section and after a good night sleep, they tended to walk over the section again, while mice that slept normally remembered better.Then, Dr. Tononi and his colleagues found that the cutting

35、didnt strike every neuron. Some 20% were unchanged, likely well-established memories that shouldnt be changed.In other words, we sleep to forget - but in a smart way.9. What did Dr. Tononi find in his early research?A. We store what we learn in synapses.B. We grow new synapses when we sleep.C. Synap

36、ses are connections between neurons.D. Some synapses are cut out during sleep.10. What may the underlined word “margin” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Mistake. B. Number. C. Difference. D. Surprise.11. Why did the injected mice go to the electric section again?A. They didnt sleep well and forgot about it.B.

37、 Their neurons didnt cut the new synapses.C. The injected material cut their memory of it.D. Their synapses are too small to remember it.12. Whats the text mainly about?A. An interesting function of sleep. B. The importance of sleep.C. A memory test for mice. D. Neurons and synapses.第二节 （共 5 小题, 每小题
