Modifying Your Memories
It has always been thought that the purpose of our memory is to file away and later allow us to recall everything that happens in our lives, like a 21 (record) device. When we recall a memory, we go into the brain library, take out a file, look at it and then put it back 22 it was. The files may get a little dust y over the years, but they are always there and they never change.
However, new research shows this understanding of memory is not that accurate. What memory is 23 (redefine). To start with, there is no central memory bank; elements of memories are stored separately 24 each other so that things related to a particular memory — the smells, sounds, emotions, physical touch, pictures, etc. — are held in different areas of the brain, and it is only in the act of recalling that they are all brought together. 25 researchers hold to be true now is that every time we recall a memory, aspects of that memory can change slightly. This means memories are 26 (flexible) than previously thought. The parallel would be more like bringing up a file on the computer, modifying and then saving 27 again.
This understanding has been crucial in enabling scientists to erase and replace memories in quite innovative ways. On a positive note, this is paving the way for new treatments of disorders, like depression and alcohol addiction. In a recent study, a mouse is put into a totally new, empty environment 28 depresses it and leads it to refuse to move. A switch on a laser machine introduces a previously happy memory to the mouse and it runs around 29 (satisfy), showing relaxed, normal behavior. Science fiction? No, not at all. It’s happening here and now. The impossible is becoming possible 30 (fulfill).

Why would someone decide to stop eating? We know that the body needs food in order to function well. However, many people fast at some time during their lives. Why is this?
Some people fast for political reasons. In the early 20th century, women in England and the United States 31 (not allow) to vote. In protest, many women went on fasts. They hoped that fasting 32 (bring) attention to this injustice. Mohandas Gandhi, the famous Indian leader, fasted 17 times during his life. For Gandhi, fasting was a powerful political tool. In 1943, he fasted to bring attention to his country’s need for independence. For 21 days, he went without food. Another famous faster was Cesar Chavez. In the 1960s, he fasted for three weeks. Why? His goal was 33 (arouse) people’s awareness of the terrible working conditions of farm workers in the United States.
Fasting is also a spiritual practice in many religions. Every year during the month of Ramadan, 34 is a religious holiday, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Many Hindus fast on special occasions, as do some Christians and Buddhists.
Of course, not everyone fasts for political or religious reasons. Some people occasionally fast just 35 it makes them feel better. The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses. 36 he had a cold or a fever, he stopped eating completely. He said that this always made his cold or fever go away. Another American writer, Upton Sinclair, discovered 37 fasting brought about after years of overeating, indigestion, and headaches. His first fast last for 12 days. During this time, his headaches and stomachaches went away. Sinclair said that fasting also made him 38 (alert) and energetic.
Despite the advantages, choosing to go 39 food can be very dangerous. However, that doesn’t stop people from 40 (fast) for political, religious, or health reasons.

New research suggests exactly how many steps you need to take each day to reduce the risk of heart disease and early death. If you 41 (fail) in your pursuit of walking 10,000 steps a day — researchers have some good news for you.
They found walking up to 10,000 steps a day reduces these risks. The lowest risk of early death was 42 people who took 9,000 to 10,500 steps a day. When it came to avoiding heart attack, people 43 (manage) around 9,700 steps a day had the lowest risks.

A study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, analysed data from 72,174 people 46 (age) around 61 from UK. Participants wore a device for seven days to measure their exercise levels. After a seven-year follow-up, 1,633 deaths and 6,190 cardiovascular (心脏血管的) events, such as heart attack, were recorded. The results showed any amount of daily steps above 2,200 a day were linked to lower death and heart disease — 47 the rest of the day was spent being inactive.
Julie Ward, a senior nurse in the U.K., said, “We encourage people to stay active for 48 heart and circulatory health by doing 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. “This can be any activity 49 fits into your lifestyle, such as taking regular walking breaks away from your computer screen, going to the gym, enjoying exercise classes, or even getting off the bus one stop 50 (early) to get more steps in.”

The moment Alok Shukla first saw the forest in central India stretching out before him, he knew two things immediately. One: that this forest—known as the lungs of Chhattisgarh, home to thousands of local people, 51 (endanger) animals and rare plants—was one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen. And two: that he 52 (devote) his life to protecting it from being destroyed by big companies.
The only question was, how?
Twelve years later, Alok 53 smile at the memory. After all, what he has achieved in the past years has been impressive. On Monday, the 43-year-old 54 (award) the Goldman Environmental Prize, which was widely known as the green Nobel.
Back in 2012, the Hasdeo Aranya forest in Chhattisgarh was under threat, because of its rich coal deposits (矿床). In India, the world’s second 55 (large) consumer of coal after China, those deposits are highly valuable. But the value of the forest to the local people was incalculable to Alok.
He wasn’t the only one 56 (recognize) the value of the land: local government had declared that the forest should be protected a few years earlier. 57 this, so-called coal areas in the forest were put up for public sale.
Alok realized they were sure to lose the battle 58 everyone came together. Out of this, the Save Hasdeo Aranya Committee (委员会) was set up, 59 (teach) people about the local laws and rights available. 60 also joined the different groups together effectively for the first time.
Alok hopes winning the Goldman prize will inspire other movements globally—and once again focus attention on the forest. “Any tree being cut in Hasdeo Aranya is wrong, and our effort will be to save every tree.” he vows.

Sora: OpenAl will now let you create videos from verbal cues
Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI introduced a new AI model called Sora which it claims can create “realistic” and “imaginative” 60-second videos from quick text instructions. In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, 61 (serve) up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details.
This is the latest effort from the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT, 62 continues to push the generative AI movement forward. 63 “multi-modal models” are not new and text-to-video models already exist, what sets this apart is the length and accuracy that OpenAI claims Sora to have, according to Reece Hayden, a senior analyst at market research firm ABI Research. Hayden said these types of AI models 64 have a big impact on digital entertainment.
Sora 65 (make) available to online security professors soon in order to assess the product for harms or risks. It is also granting access to a number of visual artists, designers and filmmakers to collect feedback on 66 creative professionals could use it.
For now, OpenAI said Sora is still a work 67 progress with clear “weaknesses,” particularly when it comes to spatial details of a prompt-mixing up left and right-and cause and effect. The latest update comes as OpenAI continues to advance ChatGPT. Earlier this week, the company said it is testing a feature in which users can control ChatGPT’s memory, allowing them to ask the platform to remember chats to make future conversations 68 (personalized) or tell it to forget something previously 69 (discuss). The company also said it plans to work with a team of experts 70 (test) the latest model and look closely at various areas including misinformation,hateful content and prejudice.

Feeling depressed or lonely can age us faster than smoking, researchers say
Feeling unhappy, depressed or lonely could speed up the ageing processes more than smoking or even certain diseases, researchers have suggested. While everyone has an age based on their date of birth - “chronological age”, they also have 71 is known as a “biological age”, based on the ageing of the body’s functions, influenced by genetics, lifestyle and other factors. Studies have previously suggested the higher the biological age, the higher the risk of various diseases, and the risk of death.
Now researchers say they have created a digital model of ageing, 72 (reveal) the importance of psychological health. “Your body and soul are connected, 73 is our main message,” said Fedor Galkin, a co-author of the study and lead scientist at the Hong Kong startup Deep Longevity.
“We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings like hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights that 74 fast we age is significantly associated with our psychological state.
“Taking care of your psychological health is the greatest contributor that you can have to 75 (slow) down your pace of ageing,” he said. The team also report that people who smoke 76 (predict) to be 15 months older than their non-smoking peers while living in urban areas reduces biological age 77 five months. Similarly, 78 (marry) takes about seven months off one’s biological age.
But, he said, it is unlikely isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking, while the study only looked at the data that 79 (collect) at one point in time. “The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,” he said. “It will be important in the future 80 (test)whether these predictions can be fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”

Modifying Your Memories
It has always been thought that the purpose of our memory is to file away and later allow us to recall everything that happens in our lives, like a 21 (record) device. When we recall a memory, we go into the brain library, take out a file, look at it and then put it back 22 it was. The files may get a little dust y over the years, but they are always there and they never change.
However, new research shows this understanding of memory is not that accurate. What memory is 23 (redefine). To start with, there is no central memory bank; elements of memories are stored separately 24 each other so that things related to a particular memory — the smells, sounds, emotions, physical touch, pictures, etc. — are held in different areas of the brain, and it is only in the act of recalling that they are all brought together. 25 researchers hold to be true now is that every time we recall a memory, aspects of that memory can change slightly. This means memories are 26 (flexible) than previously thought. The parallel would be more like bringing up a file on the computer, modifying and then saving 27 again.
This understanding has been crucial in enabling scientists to erase and replace memories in quite innovative ways. On a positive note, this is paving the way for new treatments of disorders, like depression and alcohol addiction. In a recent study, a mouse is put into a totally new, empty environment 28 depresses it and leads it to refuse to move. A switch on a laser machine introduces a previously happy memory to the mouse and it runs around 29 (satisfy), showing relaxed, normal behavior. Science fiction? No, not at all. It’s happening here and now. The impossible is becoming possible 30 (fulfill).
【答案】
21.recording 22.where 23.has been redefined 24.from
25.What 26.more flexible 27.it 28.which/that 29.satisfied 30.to fulfill
【导语】这是一篇说明文。新的研究发现,记忆的元素彼此分开存储,只有在回忆的过程中,它们才被整合在一起,每次我们回忆起一段记忆时,记忆的某些方面都会发生轻微的变化。这种理解对于科学家以相当创新的方式消除和替换记忆至关重要。文章对此进行了详细介绍。
21.考查动名词。句意:人们一直认为,记忆的目的是将生活中发生的每一件事归档,然后让我们回忆起来,就像一台记录装置。a recording device意为“记录装置”,此处应用动名词作定语表示用途和功能。故填recording。
22.考查状语从句。句意:当我们回忆起一段记忆时,我们进入大脑库,拿出一个文件,看一看,然后把它放回原来的地方。“ it was”是地点状语从句,根据句意,表示“(它原来所在的)地方”,应用连词where引导该从句。故填where。
23.考查现在完成时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意:记忆是什么被重新定义了。动词redefine意为“重新定义”,和主语从句what memory is构成被动关系。此处表示动作发生在过去,但对现在产生结果或影响,应用现在完成时。主语为从句,谓语应用三单形式。故填has been redefined。
24.考查介词。句意:首先,没有中央记忆库;记忆的元素彼此分开存储,因此与特定记忆相关的东西——气味、声音、情感、身体接触、图片等——被保存在大脑的不同区域,只有在回忆的过程中,它们才被整合在一起。separately from each other意为“彼此分开”,此处应用介词from。故填from。
25.考查主语从句。句意:研究人员现在认为,每次我们回忆起一段记忆时,记忆的某些方面都会发生轻微的变化。在主语从句中缺少宾语,且是指事物,应用连接代词what。句首首字母应大写。故填What。
26.考查比较级。句意:这意味着记忆比我们之前认为的更灵活。根据“than previously thought”可知,此处应用形容词比较级more flexible表示“更灵活的”作表语。故填more flexible。
27.考查代词。句意:这种并行更像是在计算机上打开一个文件,修改然后再次保存它。代指前文中的a file应用代词it。故填it。
28.考查定语从句。句意:在最近的一项研究中,把一只老鼠放在一个全新的、空旷的环境中,使它感到沮丧,并导致它拒绝移动。在定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为environment,应用关系代词which或that。故填which/that。
29.考查形容词。句意:激光机器上的一个开关给老鼠带来了以前快乐的记忆,老鼠就会满意地到处跑,表现出放松、正常的行为。根据“showing relaxed, normal behavior”可知,此处应用形容词satisfied表示“满意的”作状语。故填satisfied。
30.考查动词不定式。句意:不可能变成了可能。become possible to do意为“变得可能做某事”,此处应用to do不定式。动词fulfill意为“实现”。故填fulfill。

Why would someone decide to stop eating? We know that the body needs food in order to function well. However, many people fast at some time during their lives. Why is this?
Some people fast for political reasons. In the early 20th century, women in England and the United States 31 (not allow) to vote. In protest, many women went on fasts. They hoped that fasting 32 (bring) attention to this injustice. Mohandas Gandhi, the famous Indian leader, fasted 17 times during his life. For Gandhi, fasting was a powerful political tool. In 1943, he fasted to bring attention to his country’s need for independence. For 21 days, he went without food. Another famous faster was Cesar Chavez. In the 1960s, he fasted for three weeks. Why? His goal was 33 (arouse) people’s awareness of the terrible working conditions of farm workers in the United States.
Fasting is also a spiritual practice in many religions. Every year during the month of Ramadan, 34 is a religious holiday, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Many Hindus fast on special occasions, as do some Christians and Buddhists.
Of course, not everyone fasts for political or religious reasons. Some people occasionally fast just 35 it makes them feel better. The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses. 36 he had a cold or a fever, he stopped eating completely. He said that this always made his cold or fever go away. Another American writer, Upton Sinclair, discovered 37 fasting brought about after years of overeating, indigestion, and headaches. His first fast last for 12 days. During this time, his headaches and stomachaches went away. Sinclair said that fasting also made him 38 (alert) and energetic.

31.weren’t allowed 32.would bring 33.to arouse 34.which 35.because 36.Whenever 37.what 38.more alert 39.without 40.fasting

37.考查宾语从句。句意:另一位美国作家厄普顿·辛克莱在多年暴饮暴食、消化不良和头痛之后发现了禁食带来的影响。discovered后接宾语从句,且从句中缺少宾语,故填what。
38.考查形容词的比较级。句意:辛克莱说,禁食也让他更警觉、更有活力。根据上文“His first fast last for 12 days. During this time, his headaches and stomachaches went away.(他的禁食持续了12天。在此期间,他的头疼和肚子痛消失了)”可知,此处将禁食前后进行比较,应使用形容词的比较级,故填more alert。

Number of Steps a Day It Takes to Cut Risk of Early Death
New research suggests exactly how many steps you need to take each day to reduce the risk of heart disease and early death. If you 41 (fail) in your pursuit of walking 10,000 steps a day — researchers have some good news for you.
They found walking up to 10,000 steps a day reduces these risks. The lowest risk of early death was 42 people who took 9,000 to 10,500 steps a day. When it came to avoiding heart attack, people 43 (manage) around 9,700 steps a day had the lowest risks.
Experts have previously found people who spend a lot of time sitting while awake are more likely 44 (suffer) an early death and develop heart disease. It has been unclear 45 walking can balance out the effects of sitting down for most of the day — until now.
A study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, analysed data from 72,174 people 46 (age) around 61 from UK. Participants wore a device for seven days to measure their exercise levels. After a seven-year follow-up, 1,633 deaths and 6,190 cardiovascular (心脏血管的) events, such as heart attack, were recorded. The results showed any amount of daily steps above 2,200 a day were linked to lower death and heart disease — 47 the rest of the day was spent being inactive.
Julie Ward, a senior nurse in the U.K., said, “We encourage people to stay active for 48 heart and circulatory health by doing 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. “This can be any activity 49 fits into your lifestyle, such as taking regular walking breaks away from your computer screen, going to the gym, enjoying exercise classes, or even getting off the bus one stop 50 (early) to get more steps in.”

48.考查形容词性物主代词。句意:我们鼓励人们每周进行150分钟的适度运动,以保持心脏和循环系统的健康。放在名词前面,所以用形容词性物主代词their“他们的”,故填their。

Sora: OpenAl will now let you create videos from verbal cues
Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI introduced a new AI model called Sora which it claims can create “realistic” and “imaginative” 60-second videos from quick text instructions. In a blog post on Wednesday, the company said Sora is capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds in length from text instructions, 61 (serve) up scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and detailed background details.
This is the latest effort from the company behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT, 62 continues to push the generative AI movement forward. 63 “multi-modal models” are not new and text-to-video models already exist, what sets this apart is the length and accuracy that OpenAI claims Sora to have, according to Reece Hayden, a senior analyst at market research firm ABI Research. Hayden said these types of AI models 64 have a big impact on digital entertainment.
Sora 65 (make) available to online security professors soon in order to assess the product for harms or risks. It is also granting access to a number of visual artists, designers and filmmakers to collect feedback on 66 creative professionals could use it.
For now, OpenAI said Sora is still a work 67 progress with clear “weaknesses,” particularly when it comes to spatial details of a prompt-mixing up left and right-and cause and effect. The latest update comes as OpenAI continues to advance ChatGPT. Earlier this week, the company said it is testing a feature in which users can control ChatGPT’s memory, allowing them to ask the platform to remember chats to make future conversations 68 (personalized) or tell it to forget something previously 69 (discuss). The company also said it plans to work with a team of experts 70 (test) the latest model and look closely at various areas including misinformation,hateful content and prejudice.

Feeling depressed or lonely can age us faster than smoking, researchers say
Feeling unhappy, depressed or lonely could speed up the ageing processes more than smoking or even certain diseases, researchers have suggested. While everyone has an age based on their date of birth - “chronological age”, they also have 71 is known as a “biological age”, based on the ageing of the body’s functions, influenced by genetics, lifestyle and other factors. Studies have previously suggested the higher the biological age, the higher the risk of various diseases, and the risk of death.
Now researchers say they have created a digital model of ageing, 72 (reveal) the importance of psychological health. “Your body and soul are connected, 73 is our main message,” said Fedor Galkin, a co-author of the study and lead scientist at the Hong Kong startup Deep Longevity.
“We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings like hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights that 74 fast we age is significantly associated with our psychological state.
“Taking care of your psychological health is the greatest contributor that you can have to 75 (slow) down your pace of ageing,” he said. The team also report that people who smoke 76 (predict) to be 15 months older than their non-smoking peers while living in urban areas reduces biological age 77 five months. Similarly, 78 (marry) takes about seven months off one’s biological age.
But, he said, it is unlikely isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking, while the study only looked at the data that 79 (collect) at one point in time. “The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,” he said. “It will be important in the future 80 (test)whether these predictions can be fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”
