21．（6分）Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.

“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.
The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.
The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.
“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.”
1、What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?
A．They are the pioneers of brain research.
B．They have used the method in human trials.
C．They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.
D．They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.
2、Why did the Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time?
A．They failed to remember the electric shock.
B．They were accustomed to the situation.
C．They managed to overcome the fear.
D．They activated the association.
3、For long-term memory, the early Alzheimer’s mice _______.
A．can activate their blood cells
B．can’t learn new tricks well
C．can easily get back their memory
D．can’t access the information stored
4、The main purpose of the text is to _______.
A．introduce a method of a research
B．report the latest discovery about a disease
C．give advice on how to improve memory
D．explain how our brain stores information
22．（8分）As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦）in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.
Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response…suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.
A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds --- roughly the time it takes to blink (眨眼) —two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.
Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的）view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.
Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.
1、A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it .
A．keeps on crying B．cries harder than adults
C．causes people great pain D．makes people feel strong emotions
2、The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”
A．remove B．avoid
C．cause D．cure
3、What may Christine Parsons agree to?
A．Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cry.
B．A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.
C．Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.
D．Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cries.
4、What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head.
B．How to recognize different babies’ cries.
C．Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.
D．How to prevent a baby crying.

The past two decades have seen astronomers’ catalogue of planets expand over two hundred times, as new techniques and better telescopes have found more than 2,000 of them orbiting stars other than the sun. But in the solar system itself, the list of planets has actually shrunk, Pluto（冥王星）having been downgraded from that status in 2006. The number of the sun’s planetary companions has thus fallen from nine to eight.
Now, a pair of astronomers from the California Institute of Technology think they have evidence that will restore the sun’s record to its previous value. Their analysis of objects orbiting in the Kuiper Belt（柯伊伯带）, a ring of frozen asteroids（小行星）that circle beyond the orbit of Neptune (and of which Pluto is now regarded as the largest member), suggests to them that something about ten times as massive as Earth has changed those orbits. If you knew where to look, this planet-sized object would be visible through a suitable telescope. And Konstanin Batygin and Michael Brown believe they do know.
As they write in the Astronomical journal, they have analyzed the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects and found six that behave in a peculiar way. As the diagram shows, the points of closest approach of these objects to the sun, known as their perihelia（近日点）, almost coincide. Moreover, these perihelia all lie near the ecliptic（黄道）---the plane of Earth’s orbit and also, approximately, that of the other planets---while the objects’ orbits are all angled at 30° below the ecliptic. The chance of all this being a coincidence, the two researchers estimate, is about seven in 100,000. If it is not a coincidence, it suggests the six objects have been guided into their orbits by the gravitational intervention of something much larger.
A computer analysis Dr Batygin and Dr Brown performed suggests this something is a planet weighing 5-15 times as much as Earth, whose perihelion is on the opposite side of the sun from the cluster, and which thus orbits mainly on the other side of the solar system from the objects its orbit has affected. This planet’s perihelion would be 200 times farther from the sun than Earth’s, and the far end of its orbit might be as much as six times that distance away. This gives a search zone, and Dr Batygin and Dr Brown are using Subaru, a Japanese telescope, to perform that search.
Given other demands on Subaru’s time, it might take five years for this search to find (or not find) the hypothetical planet. But looking at some existing data from. The Widefield Infrared Survey Explore, a satellite, might also show it, if it is there to be seen.
Ironically, it was Dr Brown as much as anyone who was responsible for Pluto’s downgrading, for he discovered Eris, an object almost as big as Pluto, in 2005.
That discovery did much to damage Pluto's planetary proof. By his own admission, he was skeptical that the anomalies he and Dr Batygin have investigated actually would point to the existence of a replacement ninth planet. He is a skeptic no longer. Whether he is actually right may soon become apparent.
1、According to Dr Batygin and Dr Brown’s research, it is quite possible that ________.
A．Pluto will restore its status as a planet of the solar system
B．the six objects in the Kuiper Belt sharing some similarities is a mere coincidence
C．there are nine planets in the solar system
D．Eris is a replacement ninth planet of the solar system
2、Which of the following is NOT true about the hypothetical planet?
A．It may have changed the orbits of six objects in the Kuiper Belt.
B．You can see it through a domestic telescope if you know where to look.
C．Compared to earth, the distance from its perihelion to the sun is about 200 times larger.
D．A satellite may be able to provide some evidence of its existence.
3、What does the underlined word anomalies stand for?
A．Six objects behaving in a peculiar way.
B．Pluto’s downgrading.
C．The discovery of Eris.
D．Some existing data.
4、The purpose of the third paragraph is to ________.
A．explain why the scientists believe there is an unfound planet
B．show how the scientists analyze the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects
C．tell us that the perihelia of the six objects almost coincide
D．introduce the two scientists’ article in the Astronomical Journal
24．（8分）Easy to make and cheap to buy, instant noodles have long been China’s, ultimate convenience food.
Since it was a snack for students, a meal on the train, or just the go-to choice for hungry workers, more than 46.2 billion packets were sold in China in 2013. But it seems this industry has gone off the boil. By 2016 those sales had declined to 38.5 billion, according to the World Instant Noodle Association, a drop of almost 17%.
“This phenomenon shows an unnoticeable while continuous change in China’s consumption (消费) patterns,” said Zhao Ping of the Academy of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. He told the China Daily, “Consumers are more interested in life quality than just filling their bellies these days.”
About 730 million people in China now have access to the Internet according to government figures. And about 95% of those are using smart phones to connect. And apps that offer food delivery to your home, office or wherever you happen to be are a real fast-developing industry.
Their menus are undoubtedly more expensive than a pot of instant noodles. But these meals can still be inexpensive, and arguably more tasty, depending on your favor.
But put in the global background, China is still easily the biggest market for instant noodles. In fact, China’s consumption was roughly equal to Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, India, the US, South Korea and the Philippines combined.
And that means global noodle manufacturers are unlikely to turn away from the Chinese market. Japan’s instant noodle business Nissin Foods, for example, is planning to land on the stock market, in Hong Kong, by which operation it hopes to raise about 145 million dollars. It is rare for a Japanese firm to list in Hong Kong but Nissin is talking up its prospects in China, where it is already the fifth biggest brand.
“Some consumers stopped consuming instant noodles, but most consumers want to increase the quality (of food they consume),” chief executive Kiyotaka Ando told CNBC last week.
“We can supply high-quality
