14、head east. A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.

15、began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service.

They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice&

22、#39;s belly by half over four weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normal

23、ly requiring long- term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body's nervous system.However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the

24、 effects of various living environments on mice. Those, who lived alongside a greater number of mice, had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato" fellows.Study author, Dr Matthew During, whose team's findi

25、ngs appear in the journal Cell Metabolism, said, "I'm still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs." Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, "It's not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack

26、of social activities." Co-author Dr Lei Cao said，"Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it's equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital. 8. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?A. Brown fat stores calories and

29、 foods influence people's social lifeC. surfing the Internet may influence people's face-to-face communicationD. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life11. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Brown fat is beneficial to people's health.B. Socializing is unnecessarily imp

30、ortant in people's daily life.C. White fat can be changed into brown fat.D. Socializing contributes to people's losing weight.DFind a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, but recent studies indi

31、cate the conventional wisdom is all wrong.Here's a list of tips from Carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time：Test yourself：Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” Carey says. But psych

32、ologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material you've studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”Move around: Changing up where you study can help you retain more information. “If you

33、move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be formingmultiple associations for the same material, the same words and so on. So it's better organized in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”Mix it up：Think about a football player who does strength trainin

34、g, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets of a subject in a single sitting can “l(fā)eave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs, say,

35、isn't as effective.Space it out：Information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. Carey likes cramming your brain to speed-packing a cheap suitcaseit all falls out. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “There's no doubt you can cram your way through

36、 an exam,” Carey says. The problem is that it's so easy to forget what you just crammedand once it's gone, Carey says, “It's gone. You're not getting it back.”O(jiān)f course, nothing can replace the power of motivation and discipline. But Carey says the overall message is encouraging：“Stu

37、dying can sort of be incorporated into a more varied life, much more easily than we thought.”12. According to the text, the best way to learn is _A. to learn one's subject at a time in a quiet placeB. to be strongly motivated to learn somethingC. to mix up everything that you will learnD. to do

38、self-tests after you learn immediately13.Why are you advised to move around while learning?A. Because it can make your brain focus on learning.B. Because you can save time by missing the same words.C. Because you can connect materials with different things.D. Because it keeps your brain in a complet

39、ely resting state.14. How did the writer develop the fifth paragraph?A. By telling an interesting story. B. By presenting in the time order.C. By analyzing causes and effects. D. By making a comparison.15. It can be inferred from what Carey said in the third paragraph that _A. tests used to be treat

40、ed as a tool to judge learnersB. tests would slow down your studyC. tests were the best way to learn new informationD. tests do good to you more than learning itself第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。16 .
