7、n to her older brothers than to her.My daughter and I teamed up to decorate for family birthdays. And we laughed and cried while watching movies with one another.

9、ack from a party.” As she entered the house that morning, the tears began to flow.

According to recent research carried out by five scientists in Italy, compounds (化合物 ) found in chocolate, called flavanols (黄酮醇), can help improve cognitive (认知的) performance. Yes, chocolate is good for your brain. They found improvements in “general cognition, attention,
15、 processing speed, and working memory.” This really sounds pretty good to us!And thats not all.

The rese
16、archers also found that eating chocolate daily (over periods of five days to three months) produced clear long-term improvements in cognition. Older adults, whose memories were already worsening, saw a clear improvement. Well be right back to chocolate bars. Here are some more examples of how chocol
17、ate can help improve your memory.All chocolate has flavanols, since they occur naturally in cocoa. However, dark chocolate lovers can be happier, because it has more flavanols than any other type of chocolate.

22、le argue that it is uncomfortable for students to go to the suburbs in order to go to school. For example, if a teenage boy lives in the center of the city, every day he has to take a bus or even change the means of transportation. Thus, traveling to school becomes not only a waste of money but also
23、 a waste of time. In addition, moving the already existing schools to the suburbs would make the government spend huge amounts of money. For this reason the country would get into big debt. Therefore, in addition to traveling expenses (费用 ) and the waste of time, the huge governmental expenses of mo
24、ving schools to the suburbs make it impractical and unwise.Although moving schools to the suburbs may be expensive and time-consuming, there are many advantages. One major advantage of it is that in the suburbs the air pollution is less than in the city center. So students in the suburbs may breathe
25、 more fresh air than in the city center. Another advantage of studying far from the city center is that students are less likely to skip classes. This is because there are no shopping malls or cafes there, which usually serve as student distractions (使人分心的事) from school. Accordingly, students may be
26、come more hard-working and start getting good grades. Thus fresh air and good conditions for studying are the arguments in support of moving schools out of city centers.To my mind, schools should be moved from centers to the suburbs. It would create good conditions for studying, such as a healthy, s
27、afe and pleasant environment, which, in turn would help students spend more time learning and learn to the best of their abilities.18.

They can work part-time after class.20. What can be the best title for the text?A. How to save governme
29、ntal expenses?B. Should schools be moved to the suburbs?C. Why not return to the center of the city?D. Is traveling to school a waste of money?第二节（共 5 题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The most successful exercise program is one that best suits you. To give yourself the best
