D
It is common to consider learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents,    siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human?service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to affect the behaviors of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later outputs knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences. ?
68. The underlined "siblings" in the second paragraph probably means_______.

69.  Which period of children's life does they begin to know to behave well according to the passage?

     The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society －a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.

    “My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emils Comette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.

     While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.

     If you take into consideration feminism (女權(quán)主義), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple (紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.

    “The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’t go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.

   “The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We’re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’t be more simple,” added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood.

The underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means __________.

 A．one branch of an organization     B．a(chǎn) written agreement of a club

C．one part of a collection of poems   D．a(chǎn) period in a society’s history

From the text, we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who

 A．have gradually become more noticeable

 B．a(chǎn)re worried about getting old too quickly

 C．a(chǎn)re enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend

 D．tried living a different life from their parents when they were young

DIt could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are         .

A．interested in raising money for social work

 B．programmers who can plan well for their future

 C．believers in equality between men and women

 D．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others

Who set up the Red Hat Society ?

 A．Emily Cornette .       B．Ellen Cooper .

C．Jenny Joseph .         D．Joe Heywood .

Women join the Red Hat Society because          .

 A．they want to stay young  

B．they would like to appear more attractive

 C．they would like to have fun and live for themselves

 D．they want to be more like their parents[來

D
It seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems. Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked.
Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects.
Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it.
Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric (精神病的) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group.
Also, the patients’ close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes (基因).
But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution (進(jìn)化) has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.
Geniuses(天才人物) may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.
67. According to Dr Adele Juda, which of the following has the lowest rate of mental illness?
A. Painters                   B. Musicians                C. Poets                D. Bus drivers
68. The underlined phrase “make a breakthrough” in the 4th paragraph means “ ___________ ”.
A. discover or find something new and important.
B. make a way through using force.
C. (of the sun or moon ) appear from behind (clouds).
D. suddenly change (from a slower to a faster pace)
69. Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that .______
A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems
B. the patients’ close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group
C. psychiatric patients have more creativity than the average people
D. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental illness
70. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Among the 5,000 creative Germans, more people suffer from mental diseases.
B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.
C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.
D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.
71. What is the writer’s attitude toward madness?
A. Madness is harmful to the whole society.
B. A little creative madness is good for us all.
C. All the talented people are mad.
D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.

D
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨)，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
53. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts.                  B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news.                       D. From a stranger.
54. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The author used to get to work by bike.
B. Several strangers offered bikes to them, but they only accepted one of them.
C. The author’s husband often parked the bike outside the back door.
D. Somebody had stolen their bike before, but soon returned it to the author.
55. What do we learn from the couple’s experience?  
A. An act of kindness can mean a lot.       B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.      D. Strangers are usually of little help.
56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.      B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.        D. They used it for work and daily life.
