15、oversD. architectsBFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without

16、 the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevators role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elev

17、ator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns. If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding i

18、n them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that were hanging from a cable in a long passage. In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural s

19、tudies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it, ”Bernard said. “We

20、 still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives. Today, as the worlds urban population explodes, and cities bec

21、ome more crowded, taller, and more crowded, Americas total number of elevators900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazines “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”are a force thats becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high t

22、ime that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are. 24. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1refer to?A. The particular interests of experts. B. The general view of elevators. C. The desire for a remarkable machine. D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles. 25. The author

23、s purpose in mentioning cars is .A. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsB. to contrast their functions with elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain peoples preference for elevators26. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other l

24、ife experiences?A. Vertical direction. B. Little physical space. C. Lack of excitement. D. Uncomfortable conditions. 27. The author urges readers to considerA. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the relationship between cars and elevatorsD. the role of

25、elevators in city developmentCFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it

26、has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.

27、 Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved t

28、hat the rule works. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over

29、. When planning Encyclopedia Britannica( 大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally e

30、xhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks t

31、hat followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.

32、28. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. work hardB. delay tasksC. seek helpD. accept failure29. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task. B. After finding a way out. C. If the job is rather boring. D. When all the sol

33、utions fail. 30. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. find the right solutionB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. ignore mental problems31. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting

34、over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health ProblemsDSenses That Work TogetherWhen we think about how our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, its more complex than t

35、hat. Most evidence for cross-modal perception (知觉) comes from studies into sound and vision (视觉). But research that shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing. When New York researchers, Daniel Wesson and Don

36、ald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a “mysterious” area of the brain called the olfactory tubercle (嗅结节)，they had to deal with this fact. Originally, they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing, Wesson noticed that every time he

37、 put his coffee cup down with a clunk (哐啷声)，the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact, the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from the outside world. Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also

38、active when a sound was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together, by increasing or decreasing their activity. Of course, mice arent people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them v

39、arious drinks to smell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are

40、made of metal. Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions. Studying taste this time, the team ordered some special toffee (太妃糖)and put together “soundscapes” corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while liste

41、ning to each soundscape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundtrack they were listening to. Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth cons

42、idering. Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink? Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundtrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains dont get round to. 32. What does the underline

43、d part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A lot of research focuses on the senses. B. There can be a link between sound and smell. C. Sound and vision are relatively easy to study. D. Evidence about the way senses work is hard to obtain. 33. In Wesson and Wilsons research, .A. the mice were affected more si

44、gnificantly by soundB. the result confirmed what the researchers had suspectedC. the connection between sound and smell was found by chanceD. the mice seemed to be afraid of certain sounds or smells34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Participants took an active part in the experiments. B. Ex

45、periments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent. C. The result failed to support what was found in previous experiments. D. The purpose of the further experiments was totally different. 35. How does the author feel about the effect of the research?A. She is excited about the crea

46、tive chances. B. She is surprised at the recent developments. C. She is convinced that the findings will be used soon. D. She is worried about how the knowledge can be applied. 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We eat in our cars, at our desks, on the go, and in front of

47、 the TV. We eat take-out, packaged and prepared meals. Why ? Because it fits our not-enough-time-in-the-day lifestyles. 36 Well, Im certainly not the first one to think itor say itbut we all need to slow down.

49、 health problems, the bottom line is this: 38 We can choose to eat a fast-food lunch on the go. We can throw a frozen meal in the microwave and call it dinner. We can eat without thinking, in front of the tube, at our computers, and while driving a car. 39 Studies have shown meaningful links between

50、 family meals and kids mental and physical well-being. Eating sensibly doesnt take much time or money, but it does require you to make a conscious decision to do so. Wrapped in endless work, appointments and social activities, we often fail to enjoy a relaxing meal with our families. While it can be

51、 a challenge to always put healthy eating first, just do your best. Remember that the food you eat has a more significant impact on your health, weight and well-being than almost any other activity you do. 40 Every meal made at homeeven just once or twice a weekis a step closer to a healthier body a
