There was once a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to 1        things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest,2       ，to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance 3       . The first son went in the winter,the second in the 4       ,the third in summer,5       the youngest son in the fall.

  6       they had all gone and come back,the father called them together to 7        what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was 8       ,bent,and twisted. The second son said that it wasn't 9        and it was covered with green buds and full of 10.        The third son disagreed;he said it was laden with blossoms that 11        so sweet and looked so beautiful,it was the most 12        thing he had ever seen. The last son 13        with all of them; he said it was 14        and drooping with fruit,15       of life and fulfillment.

  The man then 16        to his sons that they were all right,because they had each seen 17        only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree or a 18       by only one season,and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure,joy,anger and 19        that come from that life can only be 20        at the end,when all the seasons are up.

從前有個(gè)人有四個(gè)兒子，他讓他們分別在四個(gè)季節(jié)去遙遠(yuǎn)的地方觀察同一棵梨樹。四個(gè)兒子都認(rèn)為自己所見是正確的，而否認(rèn)別人的看法。父親讓兒子們從中知道不能單憑一面去評(píng)判一棵樹或一個(gè)人。

1. B由文章最后一段可知，父親要兒子們知道不能片面評(píng)判事物。

2. A從后文四個(gè)兒子在不同的季節(jié)看到不同的風(fēng)景可知，他們是輪流去的。

in turn"輪流";in return"作為回報(bào)"；in place"在適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢?；in order"按順序，整齊"。

3. D a great distance away"很遙遠(yuǎn)的地方"。

4. C從后文四個(gè)兒子的描述可知他們是在不同季節(jié)去的，空格處缺春天。

5. A承接上文，表示并列。

6. A他們?nèi)砍鲩T歸來(lái)后，故用after。

7. D從后文四個(gè)兒子所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容可判斷為父親要他們描述所見。

8. B從"bent,and twisted"可知第一個(gè)兒子認(rèn)為這樹很丑陋。odd"古怪的";enjoyable"令人愉快的"；strange"奇怪的"。

9. A從"The third son disagreed"及他們對(duì)樹的描述可知他們不贊同相互的看法。

accurate "確切的"；actual"實(shí)際的";specific"具體的"。

10. C第二個(gè)兒子去的時(shí)候是春天，樹上長(zhǎng)滿了芽，充滿了希望。

11. B smell sweet"聞起來(lái)香"。

12. A從前一句可知他認(rèn)為這是最優(yōu)美的東西了。

graceful"優(yōu)美的，優(yōu)雅的"；colorful"多彩的";moving"打動(dòng)人心的"；terrible"可怕的"。

13. D由前文"The third son disagreed"及后文第四個(gè)兒子的不同描述可知。

14. C秋天應(yīng)是成熟的季節(jié)，故用ripe。

15. B drooping with fruit"樹上碩果累累"，充滿了生機(jī)和豐收的喜悅。，

16. A從父親所說(shuō)的話及上文可知這里是向兒子們解釋，而不是回答問題。

17. C句意為：因?yàn)樗麄兠總�(gè)人只看到了那棵樹一生中的一個(gè)季節(jié)。在此應(yīng)用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞butc

18. D父親讓兒子們這么做的目的不是只看表象,而是要從中悟出人生道理：不能單憑一面去評(píng)判一棵樹或一個(gè)人。

19. A句意為：樹和人的本質(zhì)以及生活中的喜怒哀樂只有等到經(jīng)過了四季之后才能衡量。此處已經(jīng)有了 "喜、怒、樂"，缺"哀"。

20. B只有等到經(jīng)過了四季之后才能衡量。

  Failing to drink enough water can make our brain shrink (萎縮) ，experts have warned. Re?search showed that dehydration not only affects the size of the brain but also how it works. Just 90 minutes of steady sweating (出汗) can shrink the brain as much as a year of aging,research?ers believe.

  Being short of water,the brain is also forced to work harder to process the same informa?tion. Over days and weeks,lack of liquids could have an impact on performance at work and school,causing exam results to fall. But there is no need to panic,because after a glass of water or two,the brain quickly returns to normal.

  A team of scientists from around the UK scanned the brains of teenagers after an hour and a half of cycling. Some exercised in three layers of clothing. Others were much more lightly dressed in shorts and T-shirts. The brain tissue (組織) of those who were wrapped up had shrunk away from their skulls (頭骨) .

  Researchers Dr. Matthew Kempton and Ulrich Ettinger,of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London,said; "It's clear that we saw a general shrinking of the brain tissue. Liquidfilled space in the middle of the brain expanded and there was a comparative shrinking of the brain tissue. The people who lost the most weight had the most shrinkage of the brain. " On average,the amount of shrinkage equated to 14 months of agerelated wear and tear,or the brain shrinking matched two and a half months of Alzheimer's disease (老年癡呆癥) .

  The sweaty students did just as well when they were asked to play a computer game that tests the ability to plan and solve problems. But the scans showed they used more of their brain to do it,the journal Human Brain Mapping reports.

  Professor Ben McGannan of the study's funder,water cooler firm of Water for Work and Home,said：" We strongly believed loss of water was an issue affecting students' performance,but we offered financial support for this research to give us clear evidence. Most importantly,we're seeking a way to get rid of the undesirable impacts and make up enough water effectively,such as drinking beers."

(   ) 5. What does the underlined word "dehydration" probably mean?

   A. Plenty of water.

   B. The inappropriate way to drink water.

   C. Great damage done to the brain.

   D. Dryness resulting from lack of water.

(   ) 6. Without enough water,          .

   A. it is hard for the brain to think normally

   B. the body can't sweat in time

   C. people will suffer from ageing

   D. the liquidfilled space will disappear

(   ) 7. What do Professor Ben McGannan's words suggest?

   A. We should make effort to take good care of our brain.

   B. More research is needed to solve the brain's loss of water.

   C. Drinking beers is the best way to make up water in the body.

   D. Students must drink enough water to improve their performance.

(   ) 8. What subject is talked in the passage?

   A. The brain structure. B. Exercise and the brain.

   C. Lack of water in the brain. D. The importance of water.
