The term“multitasking” originally referred to a computer’s ability to carry out several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises(大腦訓(xùn)練)involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Although checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss.
In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex(前額葉腦皮層). Brain seans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex“moment of rest” yourself if you’ve ever dialed(撥電話) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you called when the line is answered. What probably occurred is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind shifted to another thought or task, and then took that“moment” to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency(效率) declines while multitasking, as compared to when they perform only one task at a time.
Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual, or requires little thought. Most people don’t find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are attempted at one time, people sometimes make mistakes.
We often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people’s names—even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them.
1. Why are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking?
A. To make them more productive. B. To reduce their stress and anxiety.
C. To develop their communication skills. D. To help them perform daily tasks more easily.
2. According to Paragraph 2, why may a person suddenly forget who he has called?
A. He may have his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged.
B. He is probably interrupted by another task.
C. He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called.
D. He may need a rest between dialing and speaking.
3. People tend to make mistakes when .
A. they perform several challenging tasks at a time
B. new messages are processed one after another
C. their relationships with others are affected
D. the tasks require little thought
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Multitasking has become a way of life.
B. Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.
C. Multitasking exercises need to be improved.
D. Multitasking enables people to remember things better.

The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals (個(gè)人) should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual.Graduates earn more than non-graduates.Meanwhile,social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However,only some people have it.So the individual,not the taxpayers,should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources (資源) of the government.Using taxpayers’ money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding (資助) is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford,where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government.Guaranteed salaries,Smith argued,were the enemy of hard work,and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education,they not only work harder,but also demand more from their teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously,and giving less time to their own research interests,that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)).Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth,but so do all the businesses that invest (投資) and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive,you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs.Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.
Therefore,it is the individual,not the government,who should pay for their university education.
1.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to .?
A.taxpayers B.pressing calls
C.college graduates D.government resources
2.The author thinks that with full government funding .?
A.teachers are less satisfied
B.students are more demanding
C.students will become more competent
D.teachers will spend less time on teaching
3.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to .?
A.argue against free university education
B.call on them to finance students’ studies
C.encourage graduates to go into business
D.show their contribution to higher education
語篇解讀:本文為議論文。作者圍繞著個(gè)人應(yīng)該為取得高學(xué)歷付學(xué)費(fèi)這一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)展開辯論。
答案及剖析:1.B 猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)第二段的最后兩句話,有關(guān)政府資源方面有很多緊迫的呼聲,而使用納稅人的錢來幫助一小部分人在將來獲得高收入并不在這些呼聲中,可以判斷them指的是pressing calls。
2.D 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章的第三段的最后一句話可以判斷出本題選擇D項(xiàng)。
3.A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段所議論的內(nèi)容,可以判斷出作者提到business是為了反對(duì)大學(xué)教育免費(fèi)。
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Six years ago, I walked into a local animal shelter on a cold,?rainy day. Although my house was already full of cats and?dogs, I still couldn’t resist an occasional visit to the shelter. This time as I was walking down the row of pens?full of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them.
He had a malnourished(營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良的) looking body and a bony face with a big?nose sticking out of the middle of it. He was looking at a small, golden dog. Its bony ribs were?showing and its thin tail was folded between its legs. It wasn’t begging?for attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the corner?instead. The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrong?with it. “It was probably abused and abandoned”, I said. “That is why it?is so scared.”
The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I want?this one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill out?the adoption forms. I followed and asked about the boy. I found out that?he’d had a rough start in life too. She had just gotten custody(監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán)) of him?after the state had taken him from his parents. She had hoped getting a?dog would make it easier on him. I looked back at him, holding his scared?puppy, and said a prayer for them both.
It was yesterday. I was driving down the road enjoying a gloriously sunny,?spring day. Then in a green front yard I saw the boy. His teenage body was?tall and strong. His nose no longer seemed big but fit well into his?smiling face. He was throwing a ball to a healthy, happy dog with shining?golden hair. His little act of love and kindness had indeed gone a long?way. It had saved a dog’s life, healed his own heart, and given this?middle-aged man fresh hope for us all.

【2013界廣東省茂名市一?!?
Until last summer I had a very comfortable life: winter vacations skiing and summer cruises. My parents spent a lot of money on a private school, so they could get me into a competitive middle school. Everything was about tomorrow, next year, my graduation. We never had to worry about today.
Before last summer I never thought much about the people in the world who live day to day, every day, whose lives are controlled by poverty and hunger. Then I enrolled in a two-week intensive program. We lived in a “Tribal Village,” in a hot, dry open grassland in Arkansas, a state of the south-central United States. I am a tribal member in Mozambique, a country of southeast Africa. Every meal, I make the fire for my family, and feel the flames lick up my nostrils as I blow to keep the fuel alive. I cook mush with vegetables. This is all my family is ever given.
I feed the hen and three rabbits their dinner. I grow attached to the rabbits, even though I know I shouldn’t. I name them. I’m not getting enough to eat; it’s time to decide whether or not to kill the rabbits. I feel pain but it’s a privileged child’s pain because I know I will soon be eating again. That’s not true for a lot of other children around the world.
Growing up comfortably in the U.S., I’ve never had to worry about my dinner, and even though this whole process was only a simulation, it changed my life. Now I believe in doing whatever I can to help find practical ways to defeat hunger.
So I’ve become president of Roots and Shoots, a group working to improve local environments for people and animals. I’m also working to create a program at my high school called the “Safe Passage” trip to help young people in the Guatemala City dump. And I’ve got plans to do more.
I'm often thinking of laboring in the hot sun and the millions who still do. Now, I try to live for today and stop worrying so much about the future. When I eat or feel full, I am grateful for this fortunate life and want to extend the same feeling to others.
I believe in offering help to those who need it.
