Then you see a police car. Almost instantly, you know that stepping on the accelerator(油门）is a mistake.But there's a good chance that you'll do it anyway,says Susan Courtney,a professor in the Department of Psychological& Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.‎ Thar's because as one area of your brain is recognizing that police car,other areas have already begun carrying out your original plan to speed up."Even if you haven't actually started ‎ moving your your brain has already started that plan, Courtney says.And stopping a plan requires a lot of brainpower,Courtney and a team of researchers report in the journal Neuron ‎ The team monitored the brain activity of 21 people as they met with a situation that was a bit like approaching a crossroads when the night turns yellow.Participants were asked to focus on a central point on a screen and wait for a target to appear somewhere else.Sometimes they were allowed to do the natural thing and shift their gaze to the target when it appeared.However,most of the time,they got a visual order to resist the wish to move their gaze.In other words,they had to cancel an action the brain was already planning to carry out.‎ The study found that changing an action required three key brain areas to communicate with eight other areas.Previous research had suggested fewer areas were required.The team also found that all the communication had to occur when participants got the order not to move their eyes.‎ This lag(落后）is why we experience that awful moment when our brain knows we shouldn't step on the accelerator,but our foot does it anyway."If the signal has already been sent,you can only watch it happen without being able to stop it,"Courtney says.The brain's stop system appears to be involved in a lot more than just controlling our bodies."It's not just about stopping your foot or your eyes;it's about changing your plan,"Courtney says.‎ ‎64.What will people most probably do in the situation according to Susan?‎ A.They will stop the car. ‎ B.They will drive slowly.‎ C.They will speed up.‎ D.They will avoid the police car.‎ ‎65.What do Courtney's words show?‎ A.The brain needs a long time to deal with the signal.‎ B.It is hard for the brain to accept two different signals.‎ C.Sometimes people will stop an action without realizing it.‎ D.Changing an action requires different parts of the brain to work together.‎ ‎66.What does the text want to show?‎ A.How to make a change.‎ B.How to stop a dangerous action.‎ C.Why your brain reacts faster than your body.‎ D.Why you have trouble in stopping an action.‎ C Whenever she was having a tough day,Selena Berry would look at the sky and imagine herself, flying high in the clouds above her troubled neighbourhood and challenging school life."Flying makes you feel big,"Betty said."You're on top of everything.You look down and all you see is the view,the beauty."‎ This summer,Berry and seven other African-American students in the Chicago area participated in a program to learn how to fly.The program is new and challenging for participants.In the end, successful students will graduate with a private pilot's license.‎ The unique program is called Tuskegee Next."It is a special effort to increase the number of African-Americans who can work as pilots."said Stephen L.Davis,who owns a big company Wheaton ,lllinois and founded the organization.The main mission of the group is to help students follow in the footsteps of the country's first black military pilot Tuskegee.It costs about$25,000 to take the lessons and pay for the flying time.But it is tree tor these students.Davis donates his own money and raises funds to cover the costs.‎ For much of his early life,Davis wanted to become a pilot.But growing up,he could not afford the expensive schooling.By the time he could afford lessons, he had a wife and children and did not want to take the risk.For the students,the benefits of learning to tly are greater than being pilots."When you don't see black pilots,you don't think you can do it,he said."Even if these kids don't become pilots, learning to fly will give them confidence to do other great things."‎ Tuskegee Next targets African-American teenagers from rough communities who might never have such a chance.The experience will change their lives and let them see a happy future.Some of the students in the program will receive a small stipend,which makes up for the summer jobs they would have otherwise.‎ All eight of the students have passed the written exam.Now they are spending hours piloting a Cessna airplane with an instructor.Some are already flying the planes alone.On a recent sunny afternoon,20-year-old Quiana White spent about an hour alone in a Cessna airplane practicing turns. This was her first solo flight and her classmates crowded around her after she landed."You're not the same person once you go up on your own,"she said."No matter what happens,I know I'm a pilot."‎ ‎67.Thinking of being in the sky brought Selena Berry________.‎ A.some relief from her daily life B.some memories of her school life ‎ C.some trouble her neighbours made ‎ D.the beautiful view she saw from the sky ‎ ‎68.What can we learn about Tuskegee Next?‎ A.It encourages teenagers to serve in the army.‎ B.It aims to find another Tuskegee in the country. ‎ C.It helps black teenagers build hope for their future.‎ D.It is a commercial organization founded by Davis.‎ ‎69.What does the underlined word "stipend" in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A.Chance. B.Fine. C.Job. D.Pay.‎ ‎70.How does the passage explain the POSITIVE effects of this program?‎ A.It quotes community leaders who see the difference this program has made.‎ B.It quotes students who have experienced its positive influence on their lives.‎ C.It quotes family members who have noticed the progress made by their kids.‎ D.It quotes a study that shows the program has positively changed the lives of teenagers.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 71 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.‎ Here's some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.‎ ‎72 In‎ the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.‎ Use social media wisely Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 73 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends ‎ affected by in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.‎ Be skeptical. 74 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.‎ Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren't always ready to digest big.tragic news-especially if the new is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 75 ‎ A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong. ‎ B.It also can be the source of misinformation.‎ C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.‎ D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.‎ E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.‎ F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your

about some positive factors regarding people sharing information online. ‎ We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate,entertain,or pleasantly surprise them.In this way,we can connect with others.This is also true while sharing information online.If you look at the Facebook of your friends,you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes,entertaining videos,inspirational images,funny jokes,etc.94%of those who responded to a survey by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.‎ A lot of people share information online to describe their true self to the outside world.Some people,especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the ‎ presence of others,find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like-minded individuals.‎ ‎78% of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships.Today,a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person,and the Internet has become a great substitute.A lot of people now "meet" each other online,rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs.‎ Lastly.when we share our thoughts online,we are actively engaging with the vast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web.Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others,or add to their understanding about the world. ‎
