19、dents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive (重新体验 ) these experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frighteni

20、ng experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去 ), the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional

21、effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are man

22、y people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,”said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学 ) at Harvard Medical School.“This could

23、 relieve a lot of that suffering.” But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质 ). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but

24、 make us who we are. Im not sure wed want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家 ). Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. “People always have the ability to misuse science,”sa

25、id Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.” 【小题 1】 Whats the main idea of the text A People often suffer from bad memories.

D The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war. 【小题 4】 Which of the following is not the opinion of the opponents (

28、反对者 ) A Our memories give us our identity. B The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past. C The drug should be used in only very serious cases.

29、l of wide-open spaces, has come to the nations capital. In fact, coyotes have spread to every corner of the United States, changing their behaviors to fit new environments and causing researchers to deal with a troublesome new kind of creature： the city coyote. The coyote originally lived in the mid

30、dle of the continent. One of its most obvious characters is its smartness, which has made the animal a notorious (臭名昭著的 ) pest. Hunters trapped, shot and poisoned more than a million coyotes in the 1900s. Its still one of Americas most-hunted animals. Yet the coyote has survived. How has the coyote

31、shown this extraordinary ability “I guess if you wanted to use one word, itd be plasticity , ” says Erie Gese, an expert at Utah State University. Coyotes can live alone, in pairs, or in large packs like wolves, hunt at night or during the day, occupy a small region or an area up to 40 square miles,

32、 and live on all sorts of food, from lizards (蜥蜴 ) and shoes, to ants and melons. Unbelievably people helped coyotes increase when they killed most of the wolves in the United States. The spreading of coyotes into city areas, though, is recent. They travel at night, crossing sidewalks and bridges, r

33、unning along roads and ducking into culverts (钻入洞 ) and underpasses. No one knows why coyotes are moving into cities, but experts explain that cleverer, more human-tolerant (不怕人的 ) coyotes are teaching urban survival skills to new generations. Occasionally, coyotes might attack human beings. There h

34、ave been about 160 attacks on people in recent years. Therefore, people have been consistently told not to feed coyotes or leave pet food unsecured. That, plus a large trapping program in the neighborhood, has cut down on the coyote population. 【小题 1】 The underlined word “plasticity” in Paragraph 2

35、refers to _. A the ability to fit the environment B notorious smartness C hunting ability D being human - tolerant 【小题 2】 The aim of the passage is to _. A tell people how to fight against coyotes B tell us why the coyote is the most hunted animal C supply the reason why the coyote is a kind of noto

A originally lived in the west of the continent B sleep during the day but look for food at night C are teaching survival skills to their younger generations D suffered a population d

37、ecrease because people killed wolves 【小题 4】 According to the passage, to cut down on the coyote population, people are advised to _. A leave pet food secured B keep coyotes in small regions C force coyotes to live alone D avoid using trapping programs 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 A Play is

38、the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy (婴儿 ), every child needs opportunity and right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to sugg

39、est, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a childs development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that

40、 the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a babys ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played

41、 with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jig

42、saws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending playthe first social games for learning to play and get on with others. But at the third stage of play developmentfrom five to seven or eight years old the child is at school.

43、 But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of

44、 learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 【小题 1】 According to the first passage we know that as a child grows up, _.

A when he is two B when he is around four C when he is six D when he is eight 【小题 4】 The passage is mainly about _. A the ro
