While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.
Why isn’t complaining beneficial Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information at a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.
Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus (海马区)，which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.
In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some dangers. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity (免疫力).
The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves, they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn (固执的) complainers in our circle of friends.
The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.
What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
4. What do Paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about
A. The diseases caused by complaining.
B. The decrease of a vital part of our brain
C. The bad effects of complaining on brain power.
D. The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.
5. What can we know about cortisol from the text
A. Gratitude is an effective cure for cortisol.
B. Our body produces cortisol when we feel excited.
C. Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.
D. Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.
6. What attitude does the author take to stubborn complainers
A. Grateful. B. Accepting. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
7. Where can the text most probably appear
A. In a newspaper. B. In a medical report. C. On a website. D. In a radio program.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. C
【解析】

Our tiny boat was ploughing through (费力穿过) the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely freezing.The further we got from the shelter of the land, the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on this trip.
The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but, perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun, was very fit and strong.I was wondering how he managed to find his way.To me, it seemed difficult enough to navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.
So at least we were safe.But this was not what we had come along for.A look at the other divers' faces suggested that now they were also doubtful that we'd ever get the chance to see a whale shark — these weather conditions were totally unsuitable for diving! None of us spoke.It seemed too much of an effort.Then suddenly the boatman stopped the engine.He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor, who immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.
When I jumped into the grey sea, I was sure I wouldn't see anything.But then ...there it was! An enormous whale shark, slowly swimming through the water.I couldn't believe my eyes — my first whale shark! I hardly dared breathe — I was afraid my streams of bubbles (气泡) might scare the huge creature away.And the other divers were equally awed.Slowly we approached this huge animal.It was swimming quite slowly and we were able to swim with it, looking at the beautiful markings on its back.I was still holding my breath, telling myself that this huge fish was harmless! Then I reached out and touched it, stroking (轻抚) its thick skin.It was amazing how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us, and a few moments later it was gone.
8. While riding a tiny boat across the Indian Ocean, the author _____.
A. volunteered to act as a pilot
B. felt regret about his decision
C. enjoyed the beautiful sunshine
D. talked with other people happily
9. The author probably wanted to know how the boatman _____.

D. To save underwater creatures.
11. How did the author feel after he jumped into the sea

Disorders of the brain are a growing worry. Twelve mental- health conditions affect about 970 million people around the world according to the Global Burden of Disease Project: more than one in ten of the population. This figure could well be an underestimate. Neurological(神经学的) problems such as stroke，migraine(偏头痛)，Parkinson’s and brain injury are collectively the leading global source of disability. Ageing populations with unhealthy ways of life are likely to make this problem much worse everywhere.
In an ideal world, science would be coming to the rescue. But the brain is a complex organ sometimes described as the most complex structure in the known universe. A private company spent an estimated $ 43 billion on research into therapies for Alzheimer's disease between 1998 and 2017 and came up empty-handed. That big failure is perhaps the biggest reason why, in the 2010s, many drug firms abandoned or cut back on neuroscience research.
Happily, there are signs of a change. In our Technology Quarterly this week we report on a renaissance in neuroscience, with many drug companies, some of them big ones, showing renewed interest in the field. This fresh energy is coming from a variety of techniques and ideas. More precise diagnosis and well-confirmed biomarkers which reveal the course of disease, are improving clinical trials. New kinds of treatment such as gene therapy, are expanding the range of diseases that can be tackled. Other advances are an increasing amount of data, which is proving critical to understanding the biological roots of neurological problems.
As hopes rise for tackling this final frontier of bio-medicine, it is worth remembering that the secrets to a healthy brain are not only going to come from a pill or psychotherapist's treatments. The health of the brain is influenced by what goes on outside it such as nutrition, exercise, the abuse of alcohol, education, social connections and pollution. None of this should be surprising: The health of the brain is tied to the health and the well-being of the body that it sits in. Efforts to ensure better brain health are an investment that will keep bringing advantages to individuals, and to societies, for decades to come.
12. What does the author suggest in both the first and last paragraphs to prevent brain diseases
A. Less worry. B. More financial aid. C. Magic medicine. D. Healthy lifestyles.
13. What contribute to the renewed interest in neuroscience research
A. Profits and fame. B. Advances in technology.
C. Larger range of diseases. D. More clinical trials.
14. What is most likely to be the author's job
A. A journal editor. B. A librarian. C. A medical student. D. A clinical doctor.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Complex brain health. B. A brand-new research topic.
C. Renewed neuroscience research. D. Defeating brain disorders.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着科学技术的发展以及新的治疗手段的出现，人们重燃对神经科学领域研究的兴趣。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Ageing populations with unhealthy ways of life are likely to make this problem much worse everywhere.(人口老龄化和不健康的生活方式可能会使这一问题在世界各地变得更加严重)”以及最后一段“The health of the brain is influenced by what goes on outside it such as nutrition, exercise, the abuse of alcohol, education, social connections and pollution.(大脑的健康受到外界因素的影响，比如营养、锻炼、酗酒、教育、社会关系和污染)”可知，健康的生活方式可以预防脑部疾病。故选D。
【13题详解】

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The British Sense of Humour
The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to make sense of their jokes. The main thing to remember is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. ___16___ Another key to understanding British humor is to know that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, 'She isn’t exactly friendly.' Understatement is often used in unpleasant situations or to make another person look silly. ___17___
The British like to make fun of many other things. They often laugh about the silly and terrible things that happen to us every day, like when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. ___18___Finally, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy programme Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
___19___In pictures, he almost never talks, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. For instance, once Mr. Bean bought a large chair. He needed to take it home, but it was too big to fit in his small car. His solution was to put the chair on top of his car. ___20___Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people can better understand the British sense of humor.
A. British humor brings people laughter and content.
B. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
C. Then, he sat in the chair and used a broom to drive the car!
D. They also like to make jokes about situations that are quite serious.
E. Throughout the film, the audience were amused by his convincing acting.
F. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
G. Such jokes are normally about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. G 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，主要介绍了英式幽默。
【16题详解】
前文“it is often difficult for foreigners to make sense of their jokes. The main thing to remember is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”提到了两点，一是提到了外国人不懂英式幽默，二是说到了英国人喜欢开自己和其他人的玩笑。由此推知，设空处应进一步陈述英式幽默的特点。D项 “他们也喜欢对相当严肃的情况开玩笑。”符合语境，照应前文。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据本段第一句“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.”（低调陈述意味着说的比你想的或感觉的要少。）可知本段围绕着understatement展开。B项“低调陈述在英式幽默中扮演着重要的角色”符合语境，对应本段的主旨，understatement是关键词。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.”（他们也喜欢拿社会不同阶层的人开玩笑。）可知，英国人喜欢开不同阶层的人的玩笑。由此推知，设空处可能陈述他们可能在哪些方面开玩笑。G项“这样的笑话通常是关于他们的口音，穿衣方式和行为方式”符合语境。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据上一段末尾“The comedy programme Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.” （喜剧节目《憨豆先生》就是这种幽默的一个很好的例子。）和下文“In pictures, he almost never talks, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.”（在电影里，他几乎没有语言，相反他用他的肢体动作和面部表情让人们笑。）可推知，设空处应承接上文，进一步介绍“憨豆先生”。F项“憨豆先生是英国演员罗温·阿特金森在1990年创造的角色。”符合语境，下文的he就是指代选项中的Mr. Bean。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“ For instance, once Mr. Bean bought a large chair. He needed to take it home, but it was too big to fit in his small car. His solution was to put the chair on top of his car.” （例如，有一次憨豆先生买了一把很大的椅子。他需要把它搬回家，但椅子太大了，以至于车里装不下。他的解决办法是把椅子放在车顶上。）可推知，设空处应陈述憨豆先生下一步怎么做。C项 “然后，他坐在椅子上，用扫帚开车!”符合语境，继续说明憨豆先生怎么处理椅子和开车。故选C项。

Nupur walked along the road with a sad look on her face. Tomorrow was her friend Neeta’s birthday but she did not have anything nice to wear to the party. Her father’s small factory had closed down and there was hardly any money left at home to buy a new dress.
Nupur decided to wear an old dress that had been her favourite for many years but was a little too short for her now. “I will ask the tailor to lengthen it,” Nupur said to herself. The tailor however refused to do so. “I don’t take such work right now since the orders have started pouring in and my hands are full.”
Nupur left holding the bag with the dress in it and thought, “What am I to do ” Suddenly she saw a lady get out of the car and walk towards the bank. The lady opened her handbag to take out some papers but her wallet fell to the ground. Unaware of it, the lady went into the bank. Nupur ran and picked up the wallet. There were so many people in the bank that she decided to wait on the steps.
After a long time the lady came out. Nupur handed her the wallet that she had dropped. The lady could not believe it. The little girl had been waiting for her for so long, just to give back the wallet. The lady looked at the contents and everything was just the way she had left it. She looked at the girl’s old and dirty clothes. “What is your name and where are you going Can I drop you home ” The lady asked. Nupur told the lady that she was going home. She also said that she had been to the tailor to get a dress tailored to wear for her friend’s birthday party but the tailor had refused to do so and that her father was jobless.

Would you like to let me try ” the lady smiled and said. Nupur nodded, pleasantly surprised. Then she paused and said, “Have you thought of a present to give to your friend ” “Why, yes!” Nupur answered enthusiastically. “My uncle gave me a new box of colored pencils. I’ll give that to my friend.” “Great! Come over in the evening and collect your dress.” The lady told Nupur her address and left.
Paragraph 2:
In the evening, Nupur went to the lady’s home to get her old dress back. She was speechless to see it looked so impressive. The lady used lace to lengthen the dress. The collar and sleeves had been added decorations to as well. The lady also made a bag as a birthday gift for Nupur’s friend. Nupur was overjoyed but then became nervous, since she thought she only had little pocket money. “How much should I pay for them, madam ” “Oh, dear,” the lady laughed, “they’re a tiny gift I think such an honest girl totally deserves.

While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.
Why isn’t complaining beneficial Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information at a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.
Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus (海马区)，which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.
In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some dangers. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity (免疫力).
The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves, they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn (固执的) complainers in our circle of friends.
The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.
What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
4. What do Paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about
A. The diseases caused by complaining.
B. The decrease of a vital part of our brain
C The bad effects of complaining on brain power.
D. The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.
5. What can we know about cortisol from the text

B. Our body produces cortisol when we feel excited.
C. Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.
D. Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.
6. What attitude does the author take to stubborn complainers

Our tiny boat was ploughing through (费力穿过) the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely freezing.The further we got from the shelter of the land, the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on this trip.
The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but, perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun, was very fit and strong.I was wondering how he managed to find his way.To me, it seemed difficult enough to navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.
So at least we were safe.But this was not what we had come along for.A look at the other divers' faces suggested that now they were also doubtful that we'd ever get the chance to see a whale shark — these weather conditions were totally unsuitable for diving! None of us spoke.It seemed too much of an effort.Then suddenly the boatman stopped the engine.He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor, who immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.
When I jumped into the grey sea, I was sure I wouldn't see anything.But then ...there it was! An enormous whale shark, slowly swimming through the water.I couldn't believe my eyes — my first whale shark! I hardly dared breathe — I was afraid my streams of bubbles (气泡) might scare the huge creature away.And the other divers were equally awed.Slowly we approached this huge animal.It was swimming quite slowly and we were able to swim with it, looking at the beautiful markings on its back.I was still holding my breath, telling myself that this huge fish was harmless! Then I reached out and touched it, stroking (轻抚) its thick skin.It was amazing how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us, and a few moments later it was gone.
8. While riding a tiny boat across the Indian Ocean, the author _____.
A. volunteered to act as a pilot
B. felt regret about his decision
C. enjoyed the beautiful sunshine
D. talked with other people happily
9. The author probably wanted to know how the boatman _____.

C. To swim the Indian Ocean.
D To save underwater creatures.

D
Disorders of the brain are a growing worry. Twelve mental- health conditions affect about 970 million people around the world according to the Global Burden of Disease Project: more than one in ten of the population. This figure could well be an underestimate. Neurological(神经学的) problems such as stroke，migraine(偏头痛)，Parkinson’s and brain injury are collectively the leading global source of disability. Ageing populations with unhealthy ways of life are likely to make this problem much worse everywhere.
In an ideal world, science would be coming to the rescue. But the brain is a complex organ sometimes described as the most complex structure in the known universe. A private company spent an estimated $ 43 billion on research into therapies for Alzheimer's disease between 1998 and 2017 and came up empty-handed. That big failure is perhaps the biggest reason why, in the 2010s, many drug firms abandoned or cut back on neuroscience research.
Happily there are signs of a change. In our Technology Quarterly this week we report on a renaissance in neuroscience, with many drug companies, some of them big ones, showing renewed interest in the field. This fresh energy is coming from a variety of techniques and ideas. More precise diagnosis and well-confirmed biomarkers which reveal the course of disease, are improving clinical trials. New kinds of treatment such as gene therapy, are expanding the range of diseases that can be tackled. Other advances are an increasing amount of data, which is proving critical to understanding the biological roots of neurological problems.
As hopes rise for tackling this final frontier of bio-medicine, it is worth remembering that the secrets to a healthy brain are not only going to come from a pill or psychotherapist's treatments. The health of the brain is influenced by what goes on outside it such as nutrition, exercise, the abuse of alcohol, education, social connections and pollution. None of this should be surprising: The health of the brain is tied to the health and the well-being of the body that it sits in. Efforts to ensure better brain health are an investment that will keep bringing advantages to individuals, and to societies, for decades to come.
12. What does the author suggest in both the first and last paragraphs to prevent brain diseases
A. Less worry. B. More financial aid. C. Magic medicine. D. Healthy lifestyles.
13. What contribute to the renewed interest in neuroscience research
A. Profits and fame. B. Advances in technology.
C. Larger range of diseases. D. More clinical trials.
14. What is most likely to be the author's job
A. A journal editor. B. A librarian. C. A medical student. D. A clinical doctor.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Complex brain health. B. A brand-new research topic.
C. Renewed neuroscience research. D. Defeating brain disorders.

The British Sense of Humour
The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to make sense of their jokes. The main thing to remember is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. ___16___ Another key to understanding British humor is to know that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, 'She isn’t exactly friendly.' Understatement is often used in unpleasant situations or to make another person look silly. ___17___
The British like to make fun of many other things. They often laugh about the silly and terrible things that happen to us every day, like when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. ___18___Finally, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy programme Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
___19___In pictures, he almost never talks, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. For instance, once Mr. Bean bought a large chair. He needed to take it home, but it was too big to fit in his small car. His solution was to put the chair on top of his car. ___20___Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people can better understand the British sense of humor.
A. British humor brings people laughter and content.
B. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
C. Then, he sat in the chair and used a broom to drive the car!
D. They also like to make jokes about situations that are quite serious.
E. Throughout the film, the audience were amused by his convincing acting.
F. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
G. Such jokes are normally about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Nupur walked along the road with a sad look on her face. Tomorrow was her friend Neeta’s birthday but she did not have anything nice to wear to the party. Her father’s small factory had closed down and there was hardly any money left at home to buy a new dress.
Nupur decided to wear an old dress that had been her favourite for many years but was a little too short for her now. “I will ask the tailor to lengthen it,” Nupur said to herself. The tailor however refused to do so. “I don’t take such work right now since the orders have started pouring in and my hands are full.”
Nupur left holding the bag with the dress in it and thought, “What am I to do ” Suddenly she saw a lady get out of the car and walk towards the bank. The lady opened her handbag to take out some papers but her wallet fell to the ground. Unaware of it, the lady went into the bank. Nupur ran and picked up the wallet. There were so many people in the bank that she decided to wait on the steps.
After a long time the lady came out. Nupur handed her the wallet that she had dropped. The lady could not believe it. The little girl had been waiting for her for so long, just to give back the wallet. The lady looked at the contents and everything was just the way she had left it. She looked at the girl’s old and dirty clothes. “What is your name and where are you going Can I drop you home ” The lady asked. Nupur told the lady that she was going home. She also said that she had been to the tailor to get a dress tailored to wear for her friend’s birthday party but the tailor had refused to do so and that her father was jobless.
