bakery. A regular customer attracted her attention. He spoke English witha strong German accent. His clothes were worn and wrinkled in places. But he looked neat, and had very good manners. Once Miss Martha saw a red and brown stain on his fingers.-

Every time he bought two loaves of stale(陈旧的 bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf. Stale ones were two for five. Never did he call for anything but stale bread.

Genius often has to struggle before it is recognized Her heart ached to add something good to
eat to his purchase, but she did not dare offend him. She knew the pride of artists. One day the customer came in as usual. While Miss Martha was reaching for loaves, there was a fire engine with great noise outside. The customer hurried to the door to look, as any one will. Suddenly inspired, Miss Martha seized the opportunity and quickly inserted a generous quantity of butter into the loaves to do a pleasant favor for him.

Had she been too bold? Would he take offense? She imagined the scene when he should discover her little secret. Would he think of the hand that put the butter? Would he invite her to look at his artwork?

Are we getting more stupid? According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.

You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. "If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us," Crabtree told The Guardian.

At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.

This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going-you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework;the pressure of looking pretty encourages you to lose weight when summer comes. And the same is true of our intelligence-if we think less, we become less smart.

These mutations变异)are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.

However, Crabtree's theory has been criticized by some who say that earl humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing(用矛刺 a tiger doesn'tt necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.
"You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2000 years ago. He just wouldn't exist” now
Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. "But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights(洞察力 that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation(化适应
38. What is Crabtree's' recent finding according to the article? A. The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history. B. Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays. C. Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farfing.

D. Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of

intelligence. 39.According Crabtree, ancient humans .

A. were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures B. had much more genes that determine human Intelligence C. relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence D. developed diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities 40. Some argue that Crabtree's theory is false because they think

A. people today are under much more pressure than early humans B. it's unreasonable to compare hunter's and a poet's intelligence C. modern education is far more advanced than ancient education D human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past
41. What is Thomas Hill's attitude toward Crabtree's theory?

A. He is for Crabtree's theory. B. He is against Crabtree's theory C. He is worried about Crabtree's theory. D. He is confused about Crabtree's th D SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY?

This morning
I saw the shocking headline: "Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode". In the articlea lot of people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing
driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Thereforewe should stop accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accidentbut the families of the deceased(死者 said it was not enough. Neverthelessthe company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.
On the one hand
there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of technology Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with a focus on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities.

On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. aud sesoug boog Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an Al designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it 42. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. The relatives of the victim would never accept the apology. B. Many people took a negative attitude to this new technology C. A person died in an accident while driving his brand-new car. D. The company was very concerned about the future of this new technology.
43. What is the author's purpose in mentioning the Amish in the second paragraph2
A. To persuade us to follow their natural living style.

B. To tell us the Amish prefer a harmonious and peaceful life. C. To prove people can still live better without new technology. D. To advocate a simple life with family and community by hard work.
44. The underlined word "prospect"in the last paragraph probably means . A.future

B.advance

C. resistance

D. positivity 45. Why did the author decide to write about the passage?

A The author wanted to praise the advantages of new technology. B. The author wanted to show his supportive idea of new technology. C. The author wanted to criticize the disadvantages of new technology. D. The author wanted to arouse people's concern about new technology. 第二节(5小题;每小题2分,满分10

Open Hearts to Life

We often close ourselves off when unlucky events happen in our lives. We try to reduce the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn't exist. 46 We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life. The items listed below are the ways you can open your heart more fully and completely. Breathe into pain

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life try to embrace it instead of running away. 47
If we run away from sadness, it will get stronger and more real. By making use of our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom . 48

I know we've all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our “gut” impulses (冲动: when askedwe can't' explain the reasons behind doing so--- just a deep knowing that it had to get done. To start this processtake few deep breaths and then ask "Heartwhat decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?" See what comes up, and then take action
and evaluate the outcome. Spend time alone

For most of our lives we're surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, family members, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? When you spend time alone, you're free from the influences of other people, and can truly open yourself and explore whatever you'd like. See where your thoughts take you. 49 Get outside of yourself.
After you've explored the depths of yourselfyou come away with a new understanding. Now it's time to share that---not through telling othersbut full energy and attention so you can understand them just as you did yoursel.

Appreciate their uniqueness, as if they are an extension of you. Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.

A. Embrace the uncomfortable. B. Ask your heart what it wants. C. In the end, though, we can't hide from ourselves.

D. We should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. E. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it

F. The golden ticket here is to not let yourself become distracted; just see what it's like to be
alone. G.This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip, but in reality, they actually work
hand-in-hand. 四、完形填空(20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30

It was Sunday morning on a subway in New York. People were sitting 51 ---some reading newspapers, some lost in thought some resting with their eyes closed. It was a calm, peaceful scene. Then 52 man and his children entered the subway car. The children were so 53 and active that the whole 54 of the car instantly changed.

The man lifted his gaze and said softly, "Oh, you're 63 I guess I should do something about it. We just came from the hospital where their mother 64 about an hour ago. I don't know what to think, and guess they don't know how to 65 it either."

Can you 66 how I felt at that moment? Suddenly,I saw things differently; my anger was 67 . My heart was filled with the man's 68 Now, instead of frustration, feelings of 69 filled my heart. "Your wife just died? Oh, I'm so sorry. Can you tell me about it? What can I do to help?"
