Buttons, which are usually small and round and made
11、 of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another in order to make sure your clothes dont fall off.To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as
12、 a button. Language experts dont know why. But they do say this expression dates back to the late 1860s.Here is another expression related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional. People described
13、 as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.When buttoning a button you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them in a spoken conversation. Now, lets say you find yourself buttonholed in a
14、conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you cant take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying “Stop talking!” Button your lip is another equally rude but effective way to stop a person who talks t
15、oo much.Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes ones buttons. To push ones buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other peoples buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. They find a persons weak point and then they use it to upset
16、 them.1、What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?AFunny. BTraditional.CCrazy. DFashionable.2、What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?AButton your lip. BBe cute as a button.CPush your buttons. DBe button-down.3、How does the fourth paragraph main

DArgues with someone.22（8分） A new study from b
18、rain researchers helps explain how the human brain evolved, or changed over time, to permit people to speak and write.Michael Ullman, the lead researcher, a professor at Georgetown University Medical School in Washington, DC, has been studying language learning for more than 20 years.Ullman says his
19、 research shows that the human brain does not have a special area or system for making language. Over time we have simply reused or co-opted(指派) parts of our brain for language. And those parts, he says, are ancient-older even than humans themselves.This study examines the theoretical framework(准则)
20、that language is learned, stored and processed in two ancient learning and memory systems in the brain.Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They found that people learn language using two memory systems: declarative and procedural. Memorizing voc
21、abulary, for example, is a declarative memory process. But learning grammar is, mostly, a procedural memory process.Declarative memory, in humans at least, is what we think of as learning memory, such as, Oh, remember what you said last night or things like that. And procedural motor memory is what
22、we often call motor memory such as how you learn to ride a bicycle. Or, Ullman adds, These procedural memory skills become so deeply leaned that we are no longer aware that we are doing them.However, Ullman explains that the two long-term memory systems can share tasks. And, he ads, the adult brain
23、uses the systems to learn language a bit differently than a childs brain.Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns. They think about it purposefully. For a child, the grammar may come more naturally. They dont have to think about the gra
24、mmar rules before speaking.In addition to language learners, Ullmans study could help people who have a brain injury that affects speaking and writing. This knowledge can also help those who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia(阅读障碍). People with dyslexia have difficulty recognizing words and
25、 symbols accurately.1、How did Ullman study humans memory systems?ABy examining the brain with his team.BBy studying language learning over years.CBy comparing different languages year after year.DBy referring to data from other studies on language.2、Which of the following is an example of motor memo
26、ry?ALearning to make a model plane.BRemembering the grammar patternsCRepeating what you heard.DMemorizing what you read.3、What does the underlined word it refer to?ADeclarative memory.BAn adult language learner.CUsing grammar patterns.DA second language.4、Whats the main idea of the text?AUllman has
27、advanced our language understanding.BA new research helps people learn a new language.CLearning memory is more active than motor memory.DHuman beings learn language in pre human area of brain.23（8分）Its good to make mistakes，and here is why.First of all，mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying ne
28、w things.Its always good to try new things because when we are trying new things，we are growing.If we never try anything new，how can we improve？The simple answer is，“We cant”Another good thing about mistakes is that when we are making them，we are learning.Consider thisEdison failed 10,000 times befo
29、re he perfected the light bulb.When asked how it felt to fail that many times，he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didnt work.When we make a mistake，we are much closer to success.Because every time we make a mistake，we eliminate one of the things that keep us from success.But all this does
30、nt mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake.Instead，when we try something new，we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way we want it to，we will be in a position to try again.We all have limited
31、resourcesin the form of time and moneyso we shouldnt blow them all on one approach to a problem.Its best that we realize it probably wont be perfect for the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn，make corrections，and try again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes i
32、n this way can we make significant advances in our lives.There is an old saying that goes，“If youre not making mistakes，youre not trying hard enough”So go forth and make mistakes.1、Which can be used to replace the underlined word“eliminate”in Paragraph 4?Amake up for Bget rid ofCaccept Dexpect2、What
33、 do we know from the fifth paragraph?AWe should ignore the possible consequences.BWe should accept the outcome willingly.CWe should make some limits for our next try.DWe should avoid making the same mistakes.3、What is the text mainly about?ADealing with mistakes.BMaking mistakes.CMaking progress.DBe
34、nefiting from mistakes.4、What may the writer suggest we say to ourselves when making a mistake?ANever mind，I tried my best.BGreat！Now I have learned something.CThis is a waste of time.DLook at this mess.I should just give up.24（8分）阅读理解。Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in featur

They usually have dir
38、ty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.
