19、 Letter Luisa checked the mailbox. An eggshell-white envelope lay on top of all the letters. It was still there, thank goodness. She picked it and put it into her bag. Upstairs, she handed the remaining letters to her mother. “How was school, Luisa?” Mom asked. “It was fine,” said Luisa, giving her
20、mother a quick hug. In her room Luisa tried to focus on her English homework, but the letter called to her. It had traveled more places than she had. All her life, Luisa had lived in Seville, an ancient city in the southwest of Spain. Luisa loved her hometown, but she wanted to see the world. A year
21、 abroad! What an attractive possibility! But Luisa couldnt bring herself to raise the subject with her parents because her parents just wanted her to stay in Seville, get married, give them grandchildren. Last spring, on her own, she applied for(申请) a year of high school in England. Now, this envelo
22、pe held her answer. Luisa went to the kitchen to help with dinner. She asked, “Mom, do you ever think about traveling? I mean, I want to. And maybe somedaylive somewhere else.” Luisas heart beat harder as she waited for her mothers reaction. But Mom nodded. “Luisa, of course youd like to travel. I w
23、ant that for you and” Just then Dad arrived. When they sat down at the table to eat, Dad said, “Seville is the best, yes, my Luisa?” Luisas heart sank(为之一沉). Dad continued, “Why would people want to leave Seville?” Mom smiled, “When Luisa is old enough, we can discuss with her whats best for her fut
24、ure.” Dad raised an eyebrow but didnt argue. Luisa couldnt wait any longer, but her parents easy chatter(聊天)was the sound of her childhood. She sank deeper into her chair and listened. Home would always be here. But when the time was right, shed leave. And she wanted it to be with her parents suppor
25、t. “Something came in the letter,” she said at last. “I want you to see.” She took out the letter. “Im sorry I didnt tell you,” her voice was shaking. “I wanted this more than anything.” Luisa waved at the unopened envelope. “But only if you say its okay.” 24.

27、er parents about the letter because . A. she wanted her parents support B. she had already known the answer C. her parents asked her for the letter D. her parents were unwilling to wait C Bacteria(细菌)play an important role in our lives. They can keep us alive as well as make us sick. It wasnt until
28、fairly recently that we learned bacteria can communicate with one another. In the 1960s, researchers found that a kind of bacteria called Vibrio fischeri（费氏弧菌） produced no light when they were alone, but that they exhibited great amount of light as the bacterial population grew to a certain number.
29、How did this happen? How can Vibrio fischeri tell the difference between times when theyre alone and times when theyre in a community, and then all do something together? Researchers found they talk to each other with a chemical languagesignal molecules(信号分 子). Vibrio fischeri makes signal molecules
30、, and it also has a receptor on its surface that fits like a lock and key with a signal molecule. As the bacteria increase, more and more signal molecules are sent into the environment. When signal molecules increase to a certain amount, they lock down into those receptors and information comes into
31、 the bacteria, which tells them how many neighbors there are. As soon as they realize the population has hit the certain number, all of the bacteria behave as a group, making light together. In the past ten years researchers have found all bacteria have systems like this: they make and recognize che
32、mical words, determine(判断)the size of the community, and carry out tasks that would be unsuccessful if a single one were to act alone. This process is called quorum sensing. Most of the time, bacteria live with thousands of other species (种类)of bacteria. There has to be a language of interspecies co
33、mmunication. In fact, bacteria have another kind of signal molecule, which is the common language used by all species. Moreover, this kind of molecule has its own receptor. In this way, bacteria are able to count different populations, and then they decide what task to carry out depending on which s
34、pecies has the greatest population. Knowing how bacteria communicate could influence how we fight disease. What if bacteria cant talk or hear? They wont recognize when there are enough bacteria and when to exhibit the group behavior to make us sick. Researchers are developing a methodto make molecul
35、es that look like the real ones and then they lock into the receptors to jam recognition of the real situation. On the other hand, researchers also improve the conversation of the beneficial bacteria, so they can do things that we want them to do better than they would do on their own. 27. According
36、 to the passage, what can we learn about quorum sensing? A. Quorum sensing may happen when there is only one Vibrio fischeri. B. Signal molecules are kept away from receptors during quorum sensing. C. Most bacteria have similar systems to make light during quorum sensing. D. Bacteria carry out a gro
37、up task when their population hit a certain number. 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. The more species there are, the more group actions bacteria will take. B. In different environments, bacteria have different interspecies languages. C. Beneficial bacteria communicate better by themselves
38、than harmful ones. D. To fight disease, researchers try to turn off the communication between harmful bacteria. 29. The passage is mainly about . A. why bacterial population grows B. how bacteria communicate with each other C. which bacteria help fight disease D. what scientists do to find quorum se
39、nsing D Everybody hates that feeling when you spend three weeks reading a book, and a month later somebody asks you about it and you cant remember a thing you read. It makes you wonder why you wasted a couple of hours on the words that didnt stick. There are some effective ways to learn. And when I
40、say “to learn effectively”, what I mean is to not just build up knowledge, but to be able to apply(应用)that knowledge effectively at some point in the future. By this definition, most of the courses people spend money on is not learning. Something is not truly learned until it changes you in some way
41、. 1. Memory is based on relevance (相关性) One of my favorite online book clubs is Mentor Box. Whats cool about the club is not only do they send you books to read, but they send you study materials related to them. The study materials, instead of being like school, where it asks you to repeat informat
42、ion in the book to help memorize it, are designed to help you apply the lessons to various areas of your life. Thats because memory works based on relevance. We only remember what our brain has considered important to our own lives. If you dont find a way to make it relevant to you and your well-bei
43、ng in some way, your brain will conveniently forget it. You can do this on your own. When you come across something interesting in a book, write down its application or relevance to something in your lifehow you can use the idea, how it explains something in your past, how it can help with your prob
44、lems, etc. 2. Reading does not have to be linear People believe they have to read everything, line by line, one after another. This is not only not true, but its often a waste of time and energy. When you buy a book, youre not buying the words, youre buying the useful ideas. The point of a book is t
45、o gather the information that is relevant and important to you, not to finish it or to understand every word. What matters is the principle or key idea. Once youve received that principle or idea, theres no reason to feel obligated to sit there and read the rest. 3. Think critically and ask the righ
46、t questions Everything you read should be questioned. You should question the writers biases(偏见 ), whether theyre explaining information correctly, whether theyre overlooking something. When reading something I agree with, Ill ask myself, “Is it possible that this could be wrong?” Everything should
47、be taken with a grain of salt, for the simple reason that almost everything is largely uncertain. And its the ability to manage those uncertainties effectively that will determine the depth of your knowledge and understanding, not the ability to memorize a lot of facts and numbers. 30. According to
48、the writer, effective learning . A. is a practical method to have good feelings B. helps you explain and remember difficult words C. happens when knowledge changes you in some way D. is the main goal of the courses people spend money on 31. What does the writer suggest when we learn something new? A
49、. Read line by line to receive useful ideas. B. Repeat and rethink information to deepen our memory. C. Build connections between books and our personal life. D. Keep asking questions to understand the writers opinions. 32. The underlined word “obligated” probably means “ _”. A. worried B. forced C. relaxed D. interested 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How to Become A Better Learner B. How to Memorize Things Effectively C. Ways of Building Relevance in Your Life
