A scientist responsible for finding signs of life on other planets has warned that human beings should probably think twice before making contact with aliens（外星人） Professor Matthew Bailes is based at Swinburne University and is leading Australias efforts to find signs of extra-terrestrial （外星的）life But he warned that making contact with aliens capable of transmitting powerful signals to earth over tens of thousands of light years could lead humans into disaster， because theyre likely to be so much advanced The history of weak civilizations contacting more advanced civilizations is not a happy one! he said Prof Bailes was recently put in charge of the Breakthrough Prize Foundations $100m to search for alien life， which is being financed by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and is backed by Professor Stephen Hawking The team working on the project will use the Parkes radio telescope， one of the largest in the world， to scan the universe Prof Bailes told the news media that accurate computers would have to be installed at Parkes to sort through as many as a billion samples a second to try to detect patterns or likely signals There is no manual（指南） on how to find aliens Well have to imagine the sort of transmissions an alien race might send The computers， he warned， would take a year to build， and the project has five years to run But he said that the signal， if and when it arrives， would likely be quite weak after travelling across such vast distances He said that scientists hope that aliens will send a pattern human beings would be able to recognize， such as prime numbers But he warned that we might all be long dead and buried before we could work out how to reply and the aliens could get an answer12.What did the scientist warn humans？ _ A.

Good news for people who have difficulty in remembering things. A memory technique invented by the ancient Greeks has recently been proved to be able to greatly improve ordinary peoples memory ability. You may even become a memory champion if you practice hard enough.This is according to a study published in the journal Neuron. Researchers froRadboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands found that memory champions arent all that different to us. People with an average memory can greatly improve their memory ability by using whats known as the“ mind palace” method.The method is the secret weapon （武器） of the fictional （虚构的） character Sherlock Holmes.In order to do this, you need to picture a place youre familiar with, such as your living room. Then, you have to remember this place in as much detail as possible as this is your own mind palace.Suppose you want to remember a shopping list. You can start by spreading out all the items around your living room in your mind. This means each item on your list is connected with a remembered place in your living room. You travel to that remembered place as you recall the list.To explore the effects of this method on the brain, researchers gathered 51 participants with average memory levels and no previous memory training. After 40 days of daily 30-minute training sessions （一段时间）, participants doubled the amount of words they could remember - they went from recalling an average of 26 words out of 72, to an impressive 62. Four months later, even without continued training, their recall performance remained high.“Once you are familiar with these strategies and know how to apply them, you can keep your performance high without much further training,” Martin Dresler, assistant professor from Radboud University Medical Center, told the Daily Mail.In addition, the training also affects the way our brain cells connect. After training, the way that the participants brain cells connect began to be like those of memory champions compared to scans（扫描检查） taken before training. Researchers believe this could be responsible for their increased memory.But what makes this research so fascinating is that it seems to prove that the talent to store things in your mind isnt down to genes. Dresler found there was no deference in brain structure between memory champions and normal people, which means memory champions are not born with different brains.“They, without a single exception, trained for months and years using methods to achieve these high levels of performance,” Dresler told Science Daily.Its clear that more studies are needed to find out whats going on here, but the “mind palace” method might be your best bet to never forget an important name, date or appointment ever again.28. The main purpose of the text is to_A. present a research on a memory improvement strategyB. explore the secrets of memory championsC. argue whether good memory is natural or trainedD. explain how a memory improvement strategy works.29. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the “mind place” method?A. The method became popular because of Sherlock Holmes.B. People need to draw a familiar place on paper before using the method.C. The effects of this method are likely to fade when the raining stopsD. The method relies on a connection with a familiar environment to remember things.30. What would Marin Dresler probably agree with?A. Peoples memory level has a lot to do with their brain structure.B. Memory champions are often born with outstanding memory abilityC. Memory training could change the way our brain cells connect.D. With continued training, everyone can develop into a memory champion.参考答案：28. A 29. D 30. C【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了古希腊人发明的一种记忆技巧心灵定位法能够改善人们的记忆力。【28题详解】文章意图题。根据第一段中的“A memory technique invented by the ancient Greeks has recently been proved to be able to greatly improve ordinary peoples memory ability.”可知，古希腊人发明的一种记忆技巧最近被证明能够改善普通人的记忆力，本文就是为了介绍这个改善记忆力的策略，故A项正确。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In order to do this, you need to picture a place youre familiar with, such as your living room”可知，运用心灵定位法需要你想象一个你熟悉的地方，也就是说心灵地位法依靠与熟悉的环境的联系来记忆事物，故D项正确。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第四段中的“In addition, the training also affects the way our brain cells connect.”可知，记忆训练会影响我们脑细胞联系的方式，Martin Dresler会同意此观点，故C项正确。【点睛】文章意图的难度很大，抓住文章主题是关键，科普类说明文的特点是一般开篇就点明主题，根据第一段中的“A memory technique invented by the ancient Greeks has recently been proved to be able to greatly improve ordinary peoples memory ability.”可知，古希腊人发明的一种记忆技巧最近被证明能够改善普通人的记忆力，本文就是为了介绍这个改善记忆力的策略。
