[单项选择]第二篇When Our Eyes Serve Our Stomach Our senses aren’t just delivering a strict view of what’s going on in the world； they’re affected by what’s going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people who’ve just eaten. Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brain’s high-level thinking processes get involved. Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; o

D. humans’ senses are affected by what they see with their eyes.

Although our educational system and our society generally place a high value on competition, some problems can be better solved through cooperation and some forms of learning are strengthened through cooperation. Both competition and cooperation have a place in society and can serve a useful purpose. Consequently, it is necessary to be able to engage in both processes depending on the circumstances and one’s goals.
In the academic environment grades are often conceived as the major criterion (标准) for the assessment of learning. We tend to assume that the higher one’s grade average, the more one has learned, thus creating greater competition for grades. This competition can be particularly intense in fields where the financial rewards are great and opportunity is limited: law, engineering, medicine, and business.
However, the measure of one’s learning is not limited to grades. It is possible to learn a great deal about a subject and receive a low
A. competition and cooperation are related

[单项选择]Mummies capture our imaginations and our hearts. Full of secrets and magic, they were once people who lived and loved, just as we do today. I believe we should honor these ancient dead and let them rest in peace.
There are some secrets of the pharaohs, however, that can be revealed only by studying their mummies. By carrying out CT scans of King Tutankhamun’s mummy, we were able in 2005 to show that he did not die from a blow to the head, as many people believed. Our analysis revealed that a hole in the back of his skull had been made during the mummification process. The study also showed that Tutankhamun died when he was only 19—perhaps soon after he suffered a fracture to his left leg. But there are mysteries surrounding Tutankhamun that even a CT scanner cannot reveal. Now we have probed even deeper into his mummy and returned with extraordinary revelations about his life, his birth, and his death.
Ten years after ascending the throne, Tutankhamun is dead, leaving no heir

B. how different the embalming materials are from mummy to mummy
C. how to take steps to purify the DNA
