17．The malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones．Some of the malls remained open around the clock，partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts．
Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring，being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives．However，to use a well-worn play on words：it is our presence，not our presents，that truly counts．Many of us，unfortunately，can be so inattentive，even in the presence of our loved ones，that we might as well not be there at all．
Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other．Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time．Whole industries-media，entertainment，education-rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence．A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy．
In earlier times，both diet and attention could be left unregulated （没人管的） without major cause for concern．There were natural checks and balances：limited availability of food meant few got fat，for example．Similarly，in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller； today，watching an entire TV series，while speaking to nobody，is common．In traditional societies，with smaller population，everyone would get a fair deal of attention．On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa； now we have Google and Wikipedia．
"She just wants attention．"people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention．But the truth is that human beings need attention，and giving attention to each other is，to a large extent，what human civilization is based upon．This perhaps explains the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook．While we use such sites for"micro Hogging"，"idea voicing"and"status updates"-the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange．
I friend you，you friend me，I retweet you，you retweet me．The charming ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smart phones．It is also a vicious （恶性的） circle．As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online，there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world，which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online，or else risk attention-starvation．
The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed，and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices．Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea，so it is with too much attention exchange．The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible； heart disease，diabetes and obesity．The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social，and so may take longer to identify，but they will be equally damaging．
Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer，and therefore more valuable．In a sense it is priceless．And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round．
59．People use social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook toD．
A．obtain information
B．give attention to others
C．voice their opinions
D．notice and get noticed
60．What can we infer from Paragraphs 6-7？D
A．More people will risk attention-starvation in future．
B．The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed．
C．Technological advancement contributes to all diseases．
D．Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society．
61．The writer's purpose for writing the passage is toA．
A．advocate more focus on real life attention
B．analyze the necessity of attention giving
C．give practical tips on attention exchange
D．recommend some social networking sites．

18．New research，attempting to throw light upon how male and female brains differ，has found that timing is everything．American Vanderbilt University researchers Stephen Camarata and Richard Woodcock discovered that females have a significant advantage over males in timed tests and tasks．The study involved more than 8，000 males and females ranging in age from 2 to 90 from across the US．
"We found hardly any differences in overall intelligence．But we discovered that females performed better than men in time limited situations，"Camarata said，"It is very important for teachers to understand this difference in males and females when it comes to assigning work and tests．"
Many males can do a better job without strict time limits，added Camarata．
"Consider that many classroom activities，including testing，are directly or indirectly related to processing speed，"the researchers wrote in their report．"The higher performance in females may contribute to a classroom culture that favors females，not because of teacher bias （偏见）but because of inherent （与生倶来的）differences in gender processing speeds．"
The researchers found that males scored lower than females in all age groups in tests measuring processing speed．However，the study also found that males consistently outperformed females in some language abilities，such as identifying objects and knowing antonyms （反义词）and synonyms （同义词）．The research contradicts the popular belief that girls develop all communication skills earlier than boys．
The researchers found no significant overall intelligence differences between males and females in any age groups．
"We believe there are fundamental differences in how male and female brains end up getting organized，"Camarata said，"Our next studies will give us some insight into where these processing differences are occurring．"

46．The new research referred to in the passage is intended toC．
A．find whether age has something to do with people's intelligence
B．help teachers to assign work and arrange tests for students
C．find what's the differences between male and female brains
D．prove the differences in processing speed between males and females
47．The underlined word"outperformed"in the fifth paragraph probably means"A"．
A．to achieve better results than someone
B．to perform worse in some aspect than someone
C．to do something as well as someone
D．to be not so good at something as someone
48．People usually believe thatC．
A．there're hardly any differences between males'and females'overall intelligence
B．teachers favor girl students instead of boy students in schools
C．girls develop their language skills earlier than boys
D．females have a significant advantage over males in all subjects
49．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．The researchers interviewed more than 8，000 males and females all over the world．
B．Generally speaking，males can do better jobs with strict time limits than females．
C．Females scored higher than males in any age groups in any situations．
D．The differences in gender processing speeds occur when people are born．
50．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？A
A．The researchers will continue to study how the gender differences in timing occur．
B．A female mathematician will make greater achievements than a male one．
C．School teachers have already known about these processing differences before．
D．If a girl has a higher processing speed than a boy，she must be more intelligent than him．

2．If you want your land to keep fertile，you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or wind．When soil is taken away by flowing water or blowing winds，we call it soil erosion．Ways have been found to stop soil erosion，and this is known as soil conservation．One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grass．These plants are referred to as cover crops，whose roots hold the soil tightly together．The rain water cannot wash away the soil．When trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field，soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place．The trees and bushes，which act as a very big and firm wall，protect the open land from the winds．The way to stop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces（梯田）on the slope of hillside and mountainside．When the slope of a hillside is cut into"step"，water carrying soil can not run straight down the terraces，which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it．In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces，with much soil in it．

21．What takes place in soil erosion？B
A．Flood happens to the fertile land．
B．A large quantity of the soil loses away gradually．
C．Terraces are built on the slope of hillside or mountainside．
D．Plants are grown to protect the open land．
22．According to the passage，trees and tall bushes are planted around an open fieldC．
A．because their roots hold soil tightly
B．because soil erosion causes terrible damages to crops
C．to stop soil from being blown away by winds
D．to keep the balance of nature
23．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？D
A．What Causes Soil Erosion B．The Importance of Erosion
C．Rain Erosion and Wind Erosion D．Erosion and the Way of Fight against Erosion．
