He produced hundreds of objects of all sorts，most of them exquisite and many astonishingly small. Rather than use electricity, he laboured alone in a forest of antique machines and when tools frustrated him he made his own, displaying them in cupboards as art in themselves. 单元过关检测 Above all else, he worked in gold.His obsession took fire when at 13 he saw an Etruscan gold bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum.The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand－grains to a curved gold surface without solder(焊接)，was stunning，but so was the lightness of spirit. 单元过关检测 He resolved then that he would make such a bowl, and gold became the study of his life. Simply to watch it melt, turn to red－hot and white－hot, then glow purple, was magical. To hold pure gold grain and let it move slowly through his fingers restored his calm of spirit.His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and，through that，himself.He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him.His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it. 单元过关检测 He developed delicate craftsmanship，with each object virtually a museum piece. For Daniel Brush，he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket，let its beauty pass from mind to mind，and smile.That too was what its maker was after. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。丹尼·布鲁什是一位创造奇迹的工人，他使用古老的工艺来制作物品，一生追求艺术理想。 单元过关检测 24．What can we learn about Daniel Brush?

This is the runner's high—the strange excitement that sets in after a long bout of aerobic (有氧的) exercise. 单元过关检测 The most obvious way to get a runner's high is to start running, particularly long－distance running. It may take several miles for the effects to kick in，though it's difficult to quantify(量化) exactly when, where and for how long a runner's high will occur. And not every runner—or every run—will be able to produce a runner's high. This variability has led some snarky running app users to conclude that the runner's high is，in fact，a myth，despite the physiological changes associated with it. 单元过关检测 Other aerobic activities，including biking，swimming and strenuous hiking，can trigger the same response without necessarily forcing you to pound the pavement. 单元过关检测 Interestingly，humans aren't the only animals that have exhibited signs of runner's high. Several experiments have observed a similar phenomenon in mice.Raichlen's lab has also tested dogs and ferrets(雪貂) by sticking them on a treadmill (跑步机) and looking for exercise－induced excitement，according to research published in the Journal of Experimental Biology. After 30 minutes of running，the dogs appeared at－ease; blood tests revealed elevated levels of endocannabinoids in their systems.“We didn't see that in the ferrets，” Raichlen said. 单元过关检测 One major benefit to achieving a runner's high is that it makes exercise more enjoyable. By extension, this makes people more likely to stick to an exercise routine, which is a key component of long－term heart health，according to the American Heart Association. There is also good evidence that, over the long term，exercise can help reduce anxiety and stress.So go ahead and lace up your shoes.You're free to chase that runner's high as far as it takes you. 单元过关检测 【解题导语】　本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种现象，名为“跑步者快感”。这种现象出现在人们进行有氧运动之后，对人的身心都有益。 单元过关检测 28．According to the passage，what is the direct result when “runner's high” is reached?

Human beings have an inborn desire to close the “curiosity gap” every day. 单元过关检测 A recent study found that curiosity can be a highly effective way to lead people to make smarter and healthier lifestyle choices. Evan Polman, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Wisconsin－Madison, said, “Our research shows that fueling people's curiosity can influence their choices by turning them away from inviting desires, like unhealthy foods or taking the elevator，and toward less inviting but healthier options, such as buying more fresh produce or taking the stairs.” 单元过关检测 To prove the positive potential of the curiosity gap, Polman and his team conducted a series of experiments designed to test how curiosity affected the choices people made positively. In each study, arousing curiosity resulted in noticeable behavior change. For example, in one of the experiments, Polman increased the number of participants who chose to watch a video of academic nature by promising that they would reveal the secret behind a magic trick at the end of the video. 单元过关检测 The results of the field studies on curiosity were particularly convincing to Polman. In one field study, the researchers created a 10 percent increase in the use of stairs in a university building by posting trivial (琐碎的) questions near the elevators and posting the answers in the stairwell. In another, they increased the purchase of fresh produce by placing a joke on the posters describing the fruit or vegetable. 单元过关检测 Polman was surprised by the degree that taking advantage of the curiosity gap could motivate people to automatically make healthier lifestyle choices. He concluded, “ Our results suggest that using interventions based on curiosity gaps has the potential to increase participation in desired behaviors for which people often lack motivation. It also provides new evidence that curiosity－based interventions come at an incredibly small cost and could help push people toward a variety of positive actions.” 单元过关检测 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。最近的一项研究发现，好奇心是引导人们做出更聪明、更健康的生活方式选择的一种非常有效的方式。 单元过关检测 32．What did a recent study find about curiosity?

A．Supporting a finding. B．Raising a research topic. C．Arousing scientists' interest. D．Displaying negative evidence. 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To prove the positive potential of the curiosity gap...experiments designed to test how curiosity affected the choices people made positively.”可知，波尔曼团队进行那些实验的目的是证实一个发现。 √ 单元过关检测 24 25 26 27 28 21 22 23 30 31 32 34 35 29 33 34．What is Polman's attitude to the results of field studies?

In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it. 单元过关检测 “What are you doing here? You're a single mom of five. You're fifty years old！” My thoughts were fighting with my kids' words. Even so , it was as if I had no control over my feet and they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me. Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream. 单元过关检测 Wednesday came, and along with it came my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting with (摆弄) the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath.

I'm Mike, the drum teacher，” he said. 单元过关检测 People make me nervous. That's the way I've always been. But Mike had a very calm manner, so I relaxed just slightly.

I see so much potential in you，” he told me. 单元过关检测 Soon my thirty－minute lesson was over. Walking back to my car, I felt full of excitement and energy.

They started jumping up and down and then came to hug me. In the following days, I practiced as much as I could and my techniques improved greatly. When I was playing, I became so focused on the drums that it was as if my expression of who I was came out with every beat and rhythm. 单元过关检测 Seeing my devotion and progress, Mike convinced me to play in a concert.
