18、wer to do certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain does. In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research on the brain. Scientists have found out that the way brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that
19、 about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind.Earlier scienti
20、sts thought that the power of ones brain got weaker and weaker as one grew older. But it is now thought that thats not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power.

25、eir power will getD. the more work they are able to doPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:A normal conversation between strangers involves more than talk. It also involves the dynamics of space interaction. If one person gets too close, the other person will back up. I
26、f the first person invades the others space again, the other will back up again. The person who finds himself or herself backing up is trying to increase the distance of the comfort zone.

27、going on.In the 1960s American anthropologist Edward T. Hall was a pioneer in the study of human behavioral use of space. His field of study became known as proxemics. Hall said that personal space for Americans can be defined as having four distinct zones: the intimate zone within 18 inches of your
28、 body for whispering and embracing; personal zone of 18 inches to four feet, for talking with close friends; social zone of four to 10 feet, for talking with acquaintances; and the social zone of 10 to 25 feet, for talking to strangers or to a group.Historians say that our standards of personal spac
29、e began with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. In cities such as London and New 6York, people of different social and economic classes were suddenly crammed together, so they unconsciously developed a commonly understood rule of polite behavior and space to restrict the area around them

36、t away if you come across any information that makes you feel uncomfortable. Never arrange a face-to face meeting without telling your parents. If your parents agree to the meeting, make sure that you meet in a public place and have a parent with you. Remember that people online may not be who they
37、seem. Because you cant see or even hear the person, it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself/herself. Thus someone says that “she is a 12-year-old girl” could really be an old man.

41、t your parent D. in a public place with your parent. Cloze (20 points)A good education should, among other things, train you to think _41_ yourself. The examination system does anything but _42_.

42、 Examinations do not motivate a student to read _44_, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to _45_ more and more knowledge, but include cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, _46_ they deprive the teachers of _47_ freedom. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination _
43、48_ and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced _49_ training students in exam techniques which they despise.
