第二部分 阅读理解(共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
For most people，below—freezing temperatures generally put a stop to outdoor exercise，but Siberian native Boris Fyodorov is not most people．
Minutes after the calendar ticked over to this past 2014 New Year’s Eve，Fyodorov set off on a solo，out—and—back marathon run from his home in the Siberian village of Oymyakon，completing the 26．2-mile course-his first marathon-in just over five hours．During the run he experienced temperatures as low as -38oC．
And that was just the way he wanted it．
“I heard about other marathons around the globe，naming themselves ‘the coldest’，like the most recent North Pole marathon with runners going at -28oC．’’ Fyodorov told the Siberian Times．“I thought surely this cannot be right．Our Oymyakon is the coldest inhabited place in northern hemisphere．Why don’t we arrange a marathon here?’’
Oymyakon is widely considered to be one of the coldest places on the planet，and its record-low temperature of-68oC, recorded in 1933，is tied for the coldest recorded temperature for any inhabited place on Earth．The average January temperature in the area is -50oC．
Not only did Fyodorov finish the marathon in high spirits，but he also wants it to be colder the next time he tries it．“I really want to organize next Oymyakon marathon in January when the air goes down to -50oC or -60oC，”he said．
Fyodorov is not the first person to take on a cold—weather athletic challenge like this．In addition to the North Pole Marathon that he mentioned，the Antarctica Marathon is held every year in late February，taking runners on an out—and—back tour from Russia’s Bellingshausen Station．A second Antarctica event—the Ice Marathon—has been held一80F degrees south since 2006．

D．Because Oymyakon has the best route for a marathon．

Throughout life，change is the only thing that seems constant．Change has come to my 1ife many ways，in myself，and in my surroundings．At the same time，some things stay the same．This is when traditions are formed．I am often reminded of this by the photograph that sits by my bed．
It all began with a kiss on my very first day of school．I remember dancing around the mirror，watching as my dark blue dress created a teacup around my waist．I admired the little ruffle(褶边)of my shirt collar and how it matched perfectly with the trim at the bottom of my dress．I knew I would be the envy of all my classmates．
But somehow，something was missing．I reached under my bed for the large box of bows(蝴蝶结)，in every color imaginable，that I was famous for．I picked out a white one that would match my shirt and carefully ran to my mom．She fastened the finishing touch to my short brown hair and I was ready for my very first day of school．
After admiring myself in the mirror，I heard my mom yell，“picture time!” I dashed downstairs where my mum led to the spot．I absolutely loved getting my picture taken．
After several individual shots and some with my older sister，Katherine，my dad came for a picture with us together．As I climbed onto my dad’s lap，he wrapped his arms around Katherine and me and we both leaned in to kiss him on the cheek．At that moment，mum snapped the shot and our tradition began．
From them on，every year when the first day of school rolled around，we continued our tradition of pictures in the yard．The picture grew with my family；when my two younger sisters began school，our tradition expanded from 15 minutes to 45．The mass chaos was directed by my mom when my dad was already off to work or away on a business trip．

If you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down，you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn．Yes，we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistakes．And the same is true for other animals．Animals mess up all the time．They might eat poisonous leaves，fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物)slip away．By watching others fail，an animal can avoid making the same mistakes，thus improving its chance of survival．
Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others’ errors．Ceils in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake．But researchers didn’t know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors．
To investigate the brain’s response to errors in more detail，the researchers taught a game to two macaques，a type of monkey．One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched．If the first monkey pressed the right button，the team gave both animals a treat．Every couple of rounds，the two monkeys switched roles．Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal’s brains．
When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button，a group of cells in the second monkey’s brain fired．But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn，some of the cells in that group didn’t respond．Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others，not to the monkey’s own mistakes．
Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s errors．“You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle．”Ellen de Bruijn，told Science News．She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands．
51．According to Paragraph l，animals’ ability to learn from others’mistakes
A．used to be ignored by humans B．ensures that they will never fail
C．is being lost because of humans D．helps them to survive better
52．The underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A．correcting B．making C．sensing D．drawing
53．From the game the scientists taught to two macaques，we can see .
A．how the brain responds to mistakes
B．which part of the brain is more active
C．animals can avoid the same mistakes
D．how the brain processes information
54．In the experiment mentioned，those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to .
A．the same buttons B．others’ mistakes
C．one’s own mistakes D．the monkey’s brain
55．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．An interesting experiment by scientists surprised us．
B．Animals can learn from mistakes like human beings．
C．Monkeys can avoid making mistakes by learning from us．
D．The brain cells are always sensitive to others’information．

Nobody wants to be called a helicopter parent，who manages to be responsible for whatever a child does, however small a matter is—but parents want to protect their kids．At least no playing with sticks means no risk of lost eyes．
Yet as Gever Tulley points out in Fifty Dangerous Things(You Should Let Your Children Do)，children who grow up as safe as possible become adults who aren’t
