As they breathe in and out, they atte nd to their feeli ngs. As thoughts go through their min ds, they

27、let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go. Accord ing to a rece nt study at the In sight Meditati on Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three mon ths of training in this kind of meditati on causes a marked cha nge in how the brain allocates atte ntio n. It appears that the ability to let go though

28、ts that come into mi nd frees the brain to atte nd to more rapidly cha nging things and eve nts in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people at catching such fast-changing stimuli, like facial expressi ons. The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain w

29、ith mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditati on is good for the brain .It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-be ing. In an experime nt, 17 volun teers with n

30、o meditatio n experie nce in the experime ntal group spe nt three mon ths meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both gro

31、up looked for the nu mbers, their brain activity was recorded. Every one could catch the first nu mber. But the brain record ings showed that the less experie need mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experienee gave less atte

32、 nti on to the first nu mber as if lett ing it go, which led to an in creased ability to grasp the sec ond nu mber. This shows that atte nti on can cha nge with practice. Just ask Daniel Levisi on, who meditated for three mon ths as part of the study.” I am a much be he said. I do not get lost in my

35、 cooling devices （儀器）in the market. With the competiti on rising ,bu ying an air con diti oner （AC） is no Ion ger a big deal; moreover the easy finance schemes make it a device for every life. Design Though it carries the standard design for AC, yet it looks elegant（ 優(yōu)雅的）when fixed on your wall. As

36、AC is exposed to exterior （外部的） climate, it is bound to get damaged and bring maintenance cost if not taken proper care of. But Haier has solved this problem by providi ng an an ti-corrosi on （抗腐蝕的） body to all its AC. It has a remote control which provides you with ultimate flexibility and you can

37、operate it from every corner of your room. Key Features It s proved that this ACeals the show by offering Itonne cooling capacity at the EER of 9.47. This means it operates at low power and thus helps you save great energy, and consequently it wins popularity with customers. The rotary compressor （旋

38、轉(zhuǎn)式壓縮機）is the secret behind its smooth and silent operation, which makes it suitable for public and sile nt areas. Core Information Apart from the above features, it attracts consumers by its unique anti-bacterial filters （過濾器），which act as a favor to your health by destro ying the harmful germs and

39、bacteria and make you breathe very clea n air. Advantages and Disadvantages The an ti-bacterial filters prove to be a favor for our respiratory system （呼吸系統(tǒng)）.When compared to other famous brands such as Sams ung, Oni da, and LG, it offers great fun cti ons at a very frien dly price. However, it lack

40、s some additional filters which are seen in other expensive brands like Electrolux EA12SCRLA1. Conclusion It s a masterpiec杰作）due to its silent operation and uniform （均速的）cooling. Thus, if you desire cool air, then just switch to this AC and feel the magic. 59. It can be in ferred from the passage t

41、hat. A. most customers are not satisfied with the latest AC B. the price of AC has been lowered due to the fierce competition C. Haier AC has special fun cti ons but no desirable shapes D. the real secret behind Haier AC s silent operation hasn t been published yet 60. The un derl ined words“ steals

42、 the show ” can be replaced by. A. lear ns key tech no logies secretlyB. puts theories into practice scie ntifically C. attracts more atte nti on and praiseD. shows some adva ntages and disadva ntages 61.

43、rosi on body.B.The remote con trol system. C. The rotary compressor.D.The an ti-bacterial filters. 62. Compared with other bran ds, Haier AC s biggest adva ntage lies in. A. the sta ndard desig nB.the low maintenance cost C. the best after-sales serviceD.the great functions at a low price C If you g

44、aze （凝視） through a telescope at a distant galaxy （星系），it may glow brightly with the light of hundreds of millions of stars. Despite （盡管，不顧） all that light, most scientists think that at the center of a big galaxy lies something very dark: a black hole. A black hole is a region of space with gravity

45、so strong that nothing can escape, not eve n light. Astr ono mers recen tly announced they had observed a faraway galaxy that may have at its cen ter two black holes, very close together. Based on their observatio ns, the stargazers suspect one of the black holes has more mass than the other. The mo

46、re mass something has, the stronger its gravitational force, so a larger black hole has a stro nger gravitati onal attract ion. The smaller black hole orbits（作軌道運行）the larger black hole, just as the earth orbits the sun. The biggest galaxies in the uni verse form whe n two smaller galaxies collide（碰

47、撞）.If two galaxies merge cen ters shou re two. （合并），the n all of their stars start orbit ing a com mon cen ter. The black holes at the galaxies come together, too. Galaxies are colliding all the time, so we should be able to find lots of black hole pairs. But that s easier said than donastronomers r

48、arely find these in deep space. To find a black hole is complicated. A black hole doesn produce any light, so how can you findone in space? Astr ono mers thi nk whe n somethi ng （like dust） falls into a gia nt black hole, a jet of radiati on, a form of en ergy, may stream away. If this radiati on is

49、 strong eno ugh, it forms a quasar （類星體） The Ariz ona astr ono mers looked at more tha n 17,000 quasars and fin ally found a galaxy that may have a double black hole at its heart. Though the finding of their research is still uncon firmed, and they may be mistake n, the truth will be revealed in the

50、 future. 63. Which of the followi ng is TRUE about black holes? A. A black hole is a regi on in galaxies with no thi ng in it, even a bunch of light. B. Black holes are used by astro no mers to study how quasars come into being. C. When differe nt galaxies meet i n space, the black holes become bigg

51、er and bigger D. Some scientists think there s one black hole in a galaxy, but others think there 64. From the sec ond paragraph we can infer that. A. a larger black hole pushes a smaller black hole away B. a larger black hole pulls a smaller black hole toward it C. the places of black holes are fix

52、ed, so we can see them clearly D. a smaller black hole moves around a larger one because of radiati on 65. Accordingto the passage, astronomers think that there should be many black hole pairs because. A. a black hole can produce light B. black holes can attract one ano ther C. different black hole

53、pairs come into being with the meeting of galaxies. D. a big black hole can usually be divided into two small black holes 第四部分：任務(wù)型閱讀(共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分) 請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。 注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。請將答案寫在答題紙上相應(yīng)題號的橫線上。 The New York City Marathon was started by a man named Fred Lebow. It began

54、 in 1970 as a small, unimportant race. Only 127 local people ran, and just 55 of them finished. They ran around Central Park four times. Few people watched them run. However, over the years the marath on grew and became more popular. Today people come from all over the world to run in the marathon.

55、Runners must be at least 18 years old. In fact, the oldest runner was an 89-year-old man. Recently, more than 27,000 people ran in the New York City Marath on.

56、ning around Cen tral Park, the runners go through the five districts of New York City: Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx ,and Staten Island. The marathon begins at the base of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island. The runners go across the bridge into Brooklyn. Then they go up through

57、Queens and into the Bronx. The marathon finishes in Central Park in Manhattan. The complete course is 26.2 miles, and takes the best runners less tha n 3 hours. Although it has cha nged since 1970, the New York City Marath on is always excit ing. Through the years, many unusual events have happened

58、during the marathon. For example, Pat Tuz and John Weibaker got married a few minu tes before the race. Then they ran the race with their party members. Some people run the whole race alone. In the fall of 1992, Fred Lebow, the founder of the New York City Marathon, slowly ran his last race. He was

59、very ill with cancer, but he did not want to stop running. In October 1994, Fred died. However, the New York City Marathon, and all its excitement, will continue for many years to come.
