第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）It is said that if you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise — and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on economical faculties. Contraction of front and side parts — as cells die off — was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to the contraction normally connected with age — using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the town. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking (萎缩) brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain, good blood circulation is through using the brain.” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”
1、The team of doctors wanted to find out ______.
A．the size of certain people's brains
B．how to make people live longer
C．which people are most intelligent
D．why certain people are aging sooner than others.
2、On what are their research findings based?
A．The study of brain volumes of different people.
B．The study of brain volumes of old people.
C．The latest development of computer technology.
D．A survey of farmers in northern old people.
3、The doctors’ tests show that _______.
A．our brains shrink as we grow older
B．the front section of the brain does not shrink
C．sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D．some people's brains have contracted more than other people's
4、According to the passage, which people seem to age more slowly than the others?
A．Lawyers. B．Farmers.
C．Clerks. D．Shop assistants.
22．（8分）Bullying (欺凌) among schoolchildren is nothing new. Calling someone names, stealing their possessions, threatening and even beating them up are all well-established bullying techniques. Yet for young people today there is a relatively new form of bullying which can occur even when the bullies are nowhere near their victims— and it can have equal, if not more damaging effects.
Online-bullying is one of the downsides of new technology and involves using devices like mobile phones and computers. Online-bullies can strike at any time, no matter where they, or their victims are. About 22 percent of young people in the UK claim to have suffered from online-bullying.
Not only are online-bullies harder to avoid, they are also harder to catch. It is all too easy to send an anonymous (匿名的) threat by text on a pay-as-you-go phone with an unknown number. It takes no time at all to set up a false Facebook, Twitter, blog or social network account and to post an insulting message. And, if you know how to hide your IP address, you can upload an offensive video to a website like You Tube and your victim wouldn’t know who to blame.
One of the most upsetting things about online-bullying is that it can involve more people than traditional forms of bullying. A bully can insult you or tell lies about you and share that information with the entire school at the touch of a button-and for some teenagers that is all too hard to bear. The UK Charity Beatbullying suggests that up to 44% of suicides among ten-to-fourteen-year-olds may be bullying-related.
The good news is that the world is starting to wise up to online-bullying. Schools and websites like http://www.chlidnet-int.org/ offer lots of advice and victim support and social network sites now advise users to think carefully about their privacy settings so that personal information is only shared with friends.
1、Which of the following is NOT the way of bullying according to Paragraph 1?
A．Shouting abuse at somebody. B．Stealing somebody’s things.
C．Frightening somebody. D．Making a call to somebody.
2、The underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A．Benefits B．effects
C．disadvantages D．points
3、According to the writer, it is difficult to ________.
A．download a false video B．post a unfriendly message
C．know who sends online-bullies D．set up a true Facebook account
4、Why do online-bullying involve more people than traditional forms of bullying?
A．More people like to tell lies.
B．Online-bullying is easy to spread.
C．More people want to become famous.
D．More people like to make fun of others.
5、What could be the best title of the passage?
A．Bullying is harmful.
B．Bullying goes high-tech.
C．Online-bullying is hard to catch.
D．People can get rid of online-bullying.
23．（8分） Humans make mistakes. Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?
That's the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.
The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot（STAR）, successfully completed surgeries on pigs. "We're the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when compared to standard operation, it's better, "says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. "The idea is not to replace surgeons；it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer. "
A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22, 000 procedures. That's rare, but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.
In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robot's every major move is controlled by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon's training or experience.
STAR, on the other hand, is entirely autonomous. It's not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible "hand", but it's able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex. STAR reacts to a changing environment, similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway, but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.
1、The underlined word "infallible" in Paragraph 1probably means ______ .
A．quite smart B．really creative
C．rather responsible D．always right
2、We can learn from the passage that STAR ______ .
A．can perform the operation on its own
B．has been widely used in the operating room
C．can make surgeries much faster
D．will take the place of surgeons
3、In the da Vinci surgical system, ______ .
A．robots are trained from afar B．robots always make mistakes
C．surgery results depend on surgeons D．surgeons have trouble controlling robots
4、In the last paragraph, the author mentions self-driving cars in order to show ______ .
A．how smart an autonomous robot can be
B．how difficult self-driving on the highway is
C．how bad getting in another driver's way might be
D．how dangerous operating on people is.
