New findings suggest that brainy card games such as contract bridge may temporarily(臨時地) raise production of a key blood cell including in fighting off illness. After 90 minutes of play, bridge players had increased levels of immune(免疫) cells, according to the research reported last week.
A researcher, Diamond, studied bridge players from a women’s bridge club. She chose bridge players because the game includes skills stimulating(刺激) a part of the brain called the dorsolateral cortex. Earlier animal research suggests that this part of the brain may play a role in the immune system.
The findings are based on blood samples drawn from 12 women players. Their blood samples showed a rise in levels of white blood cells called T cells after they played bridge for 90 minutes. T cells are produced by the thymus gland(胸腺) and used by the immune system against diseases.
The T cell count jumped significantly in eight of the bridge players, and slightly in the other four. The findings contribute to the field of neuroimmunology(神經(jīng)免疫學), whose name reflects the fact that the nervous system and the immune system are not considered separate and isolated(獨立的) systems. What isn’t clear is whether the help to the immune system from an activity like contract bridge is lasting or temporary. It is also not clear whether the increase in T cells could finally be targeted against special illnesses.
小題1:Playing bridge can help one to fight off diseases because it can _______.
A．raise production of a key blood cell B．make people joyful
C．a(chǎn)id digestionD．make break away from the bad habits
小題2:Diamond chose to study bridge players for the research because _______.
A．the players are good friends of hers
B．she loves playing bridge
C．this game stimulates a part of the brain that has something to do with immune system
D．she is a clever manager, who operates her bridge club well
小題3:A T cell is _______ cell.
A．a(chǎn) brainB．a(chǎn) white blood
C．a(chǎn) red blood D．a(chǎn) kind of dangerous blood
小題4:Which of the following is true according to this article?
A．The immune system and the brain system used to be considered separate and isolated systems.
B．The help to the immune system that is brought about by playing bridge can last for a long time.
C．Cortex is a kind of blood cell.
D．The new findings are impossible.

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday, this still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.

Scientists are worried that an asteroid(小行星) will possibly hit the earth in 2036. If scientists are right, planet earth is 24 years away from a major disaster.
Scientists have been monitoring the progress of a 390-metre-wide asteroid ever since it was discovered last June. They have announced that it could hit the earth, causing huge damage, in 2036.
NASA estimates that the impact from the asteroid named after Apophis and ancient Egyptian demon(魔鬼) would release more than 100,000 times the energy released in the nuclear explosion over Hiroshima. Thousands of square kilometers would be directly affected by the explosion. The whole planet would see the effects of the dust released into the atmosphere.
This is the worst possible scenario(情景) of any asteroid in recorded history.
Having more than 20 years’ warning of possible impact might seem plenty of time. But scientists insist that there is actually very little time left to decide.
Luckily, however, they aren’t short on ideas for deflecting the asteroid. The favored method is also probably the easiest—throwing a spacecraft at the asteroid to change its direction. The European Space Agency plans to test this in the next decade.
One idea that seems to have no support from astronomers is the use of explosive, although this sounds more likely to the public or Hollywood producer.
At present, scientists are trying to make a better estimate of how much time we have, through more observations.
In spring of next year, there will be another chance for radar observation of Apophis. This will help astronomers calculate the orbits of the asteroid more accurately.
If, at that stage, they can’t rule out an impact with the earth in 2036, the next chance to make better observations will not be until 2016, then 2029.
“If we wait until 2029 and the worst—case scenario turns out to be true, it would seem unlikely that we’d be able to do anything about 2036,” warns Prof Fitzsimmons.
小題1:What does the underlined word “deflecting” most probably mean?
A．making it smaller.
B．observing it clearly enough.
C．dividing into pieces.
D．changing its direction.
小題2:According to the scientists’ observation, _______.
A．the asteroid named Apophis will explode in 2036.
B．the asteroid named Apophis might hit the earth in 2036.
C．the asteroid named Apophis is 24 years old.
D．there is plenty of time to decide the way we deal with the asteroid.
小題3:What is the impact from Apophis if it hits the earth?
A．It will damage Hiroshima.
B．Thousands of square kilometers would see the effects of the dust released into the atmosphere.
C．It might be the worst damage caused by asteroids in recorded history.
D．The whole planet would be directly affected by the explosion.
小題4:It can be inferred from the text that _____.
A．Hollywood producers will explode Apophis to avoid its hit.
B．There are only two chances for scientists to make better observations if they can’t grasp the chance next year.
C．NASA plans to throw a spacecraft at Apophis to change its direction.
D．It is supportive from astronauts that we explode the Apophis.

According to the dictionary definition of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(質(zhì)地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重組) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
小題1:“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
A．a(chǎn) new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B．a(chǎn) new thing is only a tale
C．we can seldom create new things
D．we can hardly see really new things in the world
小題2:What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A．It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B．To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D．One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
小題3:The best title for this passage is__________.
A．How to Develop One’s CreativityB．What Is Creativity
C．The Importance of CreativityD．Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence(智力)? The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet.
If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.
He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get stranger answers. A question about Smarter Child’s age returns, “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets, “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”
Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits www. intellicast. com.
Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A. I., Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems.
The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways. That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.
Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process(處理) information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sense—a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child.
小題1:From the text we can infer that www. Intellicast. com is a website               .
A．which is specially designed to help Smarter Child
B．where we people can find Smarter Child
C．where weather forecasts are made
D．which is about artificial intelligence
小題2: It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to               .
A．tell us how to spell a difficult word
B．tell us how the American government is run
C．provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare
D．learn how to tell right behaviors from wrong ones.
小題3: Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information.
B. A. I. Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer.
C. Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own.
D. We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein, Nixon and Spears.
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．A New Web ChildB．Smarter Child
C．The Future of Internet D．Intelligence Development

If your cellphone suddenly stops working, don’t blame the service provider．The malfunction（故障） might well have been caused by something bigger -- a solar storm．Experts expect that Earth will see more solar activity in the near future．The malfunction of electronic devices will just one of the effects．
Sunspots（太陽黑子） serve as an indicator of the sun’s activity．For the past two years, sunspots have mostly been missing．Their absence, the most prolonged in nearly 100 years, has taken even seasoned sun watchers by surprise．
When the number of sunspots drops at the end of each 11-year cycle, solar storms die down and all become much calmer. This “solar minimum” doesn’t last long. Within a year, sunspots and solar storms begin to build toward a new crescendo, the next solar maximum.
What’s special about this latest cycle is that the sun is having trouble starting the next solar cycle. The sun began to calm down in late 2007, so no one expected many sunspots in 2008. They should return in 2010. Scientists have predicted that the next solar cycle could be the most active on record: more sunspots and more solar storms. However, sunspots are mostly missing now.
Since the earth is in close contact with the sun, strong solar activities can bring trouble to our life. People of the 21st century rely on high-tech systems for the basics of daily life. Air travel and radio communications can be affected by strong solar activities. A big solar storm could cause 20 times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina.
What the sun will do next is beyond our ability to predict. Most astronomers think that the solar cycle will go on but at low level. However, there is also evidence that the sun is losing its ability to produce sunspots. By 2015, they could be gone altogether.
小題1:The sun watcher feel surprised at            .
A．the longest sunspots’ absenceB．the largest sunspot number
C．the malfunction of electronic devicesD．the serious damage by sunspots
小題2:What does the underlined word “crescendo” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A．small number B．high level
C．usual cycleD．fresh start
小題3:We can infer that in the past two years         .
A．solar activities have brought much trouble to our life
B．the number of sunspots has increased to a large extent
C．the solar minimum took the place of the solar maximum
D．our cellphones have seldom been interrupted by the solar storm
小題4:Which statement does the text lead you to believe?
A．Solar activities do no harm to our daily life.
B．Hurricane Katrina is also a type of solar storms.
C．It’s difficult to predict sunspots.
D．From now on there’ re no sunspots.
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．The earth is in close contact with the sun.
B．Sunspots can cause trouble to our life.
C．Introduction of sunspots.
D．Introduction of the solar storm．
