Part III Reading Comprehension

As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can exhaust not only your muscles, but also your eyes. Fear not, however, for coffee can perk them right up again. During (26)_____exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a (27)_____ called “central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements (28)_____. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly (29)_____in the exercise itself—such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteers a carbohydrate (30)_____either with a moderate dose of caffeine—which is known to stimulate the central nervous system—or as a placebo without, during 3 hours of (31)_____. After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still (32)_____their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, (33)_____their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine—the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee—was (34)_____to counteract this effect, with some cyclists even displaying (35)_____eye movement speeds, the team reports today in Scientific Reports. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.

Part III Reading Comprehension

                                    The Blessing and Curse of the People Who Never Forget

    A handful of people can recall almost every day of their lives in enormous detail—and after years of research, neuroscientists are finally beginning to understand how they do it.


【A】For most of us, memory is a mess of blurred and faded pictures of our lives. As much as we would like to cling on to our past, even the saddest moments can be washed away with time.


【B】 Ask Nima Veiseh what he was doing for any day in the past 15 years, however, and he will give you the details of the weather, what he was wearing, or even what side of the train he was sitting on his journey to work. “My memory is like a library of video tapes, walk-throughs of every day of my life from walking to sleeping,” he explains.


【C】 Veiseh can even put a date on when those tapes started recording: 15 December 2000, when he met his first girlfriend at his best friend’s 16th birthday party. He had always had a good memory, but the thrill of young love seems to have shifted a gear in his mind: from now on, he would start recording his whole life in detail. “I could tell you everything about every day after that.”

【D】 Needless to say, people like Veiseh are of great interest to neuroscientists (神经科学专家) hoping to understand the way the brain records our lives. A couple of recent papers have finally opened a window on these people’s extraordinary minds. And such research might even suggest ways for us all to relive our past with greater clarity.


【E】 “Highly superior autobiographical memory” (or HSAM for short), first come to light in the early 2000s, with a young woman named Jill Price. Emailing the neuroscientist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh one day, she claimed that she could recall every day of her life since the age of 12. Could he help explain her experiences?


【F】McGaugh invited her to his lab, and began to test her: he would give her a date and ask her to tell him about the world events on that day. True to her word, she was correct almost every time.


【G】It didn’t take long for magazines and documentary film-makers to come to understand her “total recall”, and thanks to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects (including Veiseh) have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California, Irvine.


【H】 Interestingly, their memories are highly self-centred: although they can remember “autobiographical” life events in extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information, such as random (任意选取的) lists of words. Nor are they necessarily better at remembering a round of drinks, say. And although their memories are vast, they are still likely to suffer from “false memories”. Clearly, there is no such thing as a “perfect” memory—their ordinary minds are still using the same flawed tools that the rest of us rely on. The question is, how?


【I】 Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly high on two measures: fantasy proneness (倾向) and absorption. Fantasy proneness could be considered as a tendency to imagine and daydream, whereas absorption is the tendency to allow your mind to become fully absorbed in an activity—to pay complete attention to the sensations (感受) and the experiences. “I’m extremely sensitive to sounds, smells and visual detail,” explains Nicole Donohue, who has taken part in many of these studies. “I definitely feel things more strongly than the average person.”


【J】 The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations for a recollection, says Patihis, and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months. Each time this initial memory trace is “replayed”, it becomes even stronger. In some ways, you probably go through that process after a big event like your wedding day—but the difference is that thanks to their other psychological tendencies, the HSAM subjects are doing it day in, day out, for the whole of their lives.


【K】 Not everyone with a tendency to fantasize will develop HSAM, though, so Patihis suggests that something must have caused them to think so much about their past. “Maybe some experience in their childhood meant that they became obsessed （着迷）with calendars and what happened to them,” says Patihis.


【L】 The people with HSAM I’ve interviewed would certainly agree that it can be a mixed blessing. On the plus side, it allows you to relive the most transformative and enriching experiences. Veiseh, for instance, travelled a lot in his youth. In his spare time, he visited the local art galleries, and the paintings are now lodged deep in his autobiographical memories.


【M】 “Imagine being able to remember every painting, on every wall, in every gallery space, between nearly 40 countries,” he says. “That’s a big education in art by itself.” With this comprehensive knowledge of the history of art, he has since become a professional painter.


【N】Donohue, now a history teacher, agrees that it helped during certain parts of her education: “I can definitely remember what I learned on certain days at school. I could imagine what the teacher was saying or what it looked like in the book.”


【O】 Not everyone with HSAM has experienced these benefits, however. Viewing the past in high definition can make it very difficult to get over pain and regret. “It can be very hard to forget embarrassing moments,” says Donohue. “You feel the same emotions—it is just as raw, just as fresh… You can’t turn off that stream of memories, no matter how hard you try.” Veiseh agrees: “It is like having these open wounds—they are just a part of you,” he says.


【P】 This means they often have to make a special effort to lay the past to rest. Bill, for instance, often gets painful “flashbacks” in which unwanted memories intrude into his consciousness, but overall he has chosen to see it as the best way of avoiding repeating the same mistakes. “Some people are absorbed in the past but not open to new memories, but that’s not the case for me. I look forward to the each day and experiencing something new.”

Part III Reading Comprehension

    The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.

    There’s only one problem with the cliché (套话). It isn’t true.

    “In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,” Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying.”

    Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death.” They choose purpose over happiness—having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzenimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede (逐渐淡化).

    Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed, you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.

    Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”

    The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste” to get big new things done while there is still time.

    What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan is changing the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.

21、46. What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”?​​​​​​​      .  

A It has led to a lot of debate.

B It is widely acknowledged.

C It is no longer fashionable.

D It misrepresents real life.

答案解析：

题干问的是作者对中年危机的看法，可定位至原文第二段 “There’s only one problem with the cliché (套话). It is not true”。这个套话只有一个问题，那就是它是不正确的，而这个套话就是指的第一段中的midlife crisis。因此D选项正确。提到。

22、47. How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?

A It may be the beginning of a crisis.

B It can be a new phrase of one’s life.

C It can terrifying for the unprepared.

D It may see old-age diseases approaching.

答案解析：

题干问的是Barbara Hagerty对中年的看法，应定位至文章第三段最后一句“can be exciting, rather than terrifying”。这个转变是令人兴奋的，而不是令人害怕的。可以判断 A选项It may be the beginning of a crisis，beginning未提及，因此错误。C选项It can terrifying for the unprepared，原文是not terrifying，选项与原文意思相反，因此错误。D选项It may see old age diseases approaching，disease在原文中未提及，因此错误。只有B选项正确。

23、48. How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?

A It can be quite rosy.

B It can be burdensome.

C It undergoes radical transformation.

D It makes for the best part of one’s life.

答案解析：

本题可以根据题干中的pictured以及Life Reimagined定位到原文第五段第一句话 “Life Remagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy”。这本书描绘了远离悲观暗淡的中年时期的画面，而A选项quite rosy 和 far from gloomy对应，因此A选项正确。

24、49. According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time            .

A to relax

B to mature

C to harvest

D to reflect

答案解析：

根据题干中的Karl Barth可定位至原文第六段第二句中的引言 “the showing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself”。C选项的to harvest是对原文to reap的同义替换，是正确答案，而B项的指的是思想成熟，在文中并没有具体与之对应的内容，故排除。

25、50. What does the author say about midlife today?

A It is more meaningful than other stages of life. 

B It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life.

C It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.

D It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.

答案解析：

题干问的是作者对当今中年的看法，根据today可定位至原文最后一段 “What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point”。曾经被认为是下坡路的时刻现在则是潜在的转折点，D选项中的turning point与定位句一致，因此D选项正确。

Part III Reading Comprehension

    In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.

    Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.

    One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.

    “There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”

    But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.

    Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.

    “There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.

    The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.

26、51. Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?

A It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.

B It is their major source of protein in winter.

C It can easily be made into a work of art.

D It can bring wealth and honor to them.

答案解析：

题目问为什么在许多文化中人们重视鸡蛋，根据cultures以及prize the egg可定位至文章的第一段第二句“So it is no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg”。全世界的文化都在通过赞扬鸡蛋来庆祝春天的到来，很明显A选项中的welcome sign of the coming of spring是定位句的同义转述，因此A选项正确。

27、52. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?

A They are shaped like jewel cases.

B They are cherished by the rich.

C They are heavily painted in red.

D They are favored as a form of art.

答案解析：

题目问我们能从俄罗斯装饰过的“鸡蛋”得出什么，根据decorated “eggs”以及Russia可定位到文章的第二段第二句“others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like... in the 19th century”。其他的习俗把鸡蛋上升到华丽的艺术层面，俄罗斯人喜欢用珠宝来装饰鸡蛋，选项D 中的a form of art与定位句对应，因此D选项正确。

28、53. Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?

A Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.It is idealized. 

B Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.

C Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.

D Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.

答案解析：

题目问为什么当代艺术家仍旧沿袭鸡蛋艺术的传统，根据contemporary artists以及art tradition可定位到文中第三段的第二句“contemporary artists have followed this tradition... speak to the anxiety of our age... Eggs are, too”。当代艺术家追随这一彩蛋传统就是为了表达当代生活中的焦虑，C选项中的reflect the anxieties与定位句对应，因此C选项正确。

29、54. Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?

A She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.

B She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.

C She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.

D She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.

答案解析：

题目问为什么Chast喜欢装饰鸡蛋这一过程，此题出处位于第五段的第二句 “There is part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge... reflect that delicateness”。正是这种脆弱性让装饰鸡蛋具有吸引力，鸡蛋随时会碎掉的这种感觉正是她喜欢的，选项A中的 break与定位句中该信息点对应，因此A选项正确。

30、55. What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?

A It originated in the eastern part of Europe.

B It has a history of over two thousand years.

C It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.

D It is especially favored as a church decoration.

答案解析：

题目问从文中我们得到的对彩绘蛋的认知，此题目相关信息位于第八段的“The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C.”，这个传统可以追溯到公元前300年，由此可推断出B选项的“有2000多年的历史”正确。
