[单选题]The study suggests that it is more difficult to respond what to get rid of.

根据材料，完成下面的题目。Kicking the Habit       What is a bad habit? The most definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without thinking about it. and which has some sort of negative consequence. This consequence could affect those around us, or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habits are part of what makes us human.       Many early habits, like sucking out thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are either told to stop doing it by our parents, or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it becomes a part of our life, and becomes "programmed" into our brain.       A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change out habits, it is the old ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back. During the study program, the researchers showed a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them. They then showed the volunteers the same picture again, and gave them new words to associate with them.       A few days later, the volunteers were given a test. The researchers showed them the pictures, and told them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one. It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and second. Two weeks later, they were given the same test again. This time, most of them only gave the first set of words. They appeared to have completely forgotten the second set.The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time. We may try to change out ways, but after a while, the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned. The more that response is used, the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond in any other way.       The study therefore suggests that over time, our bad habits also become automatic, learned behavior. This is not good news for people who pick up bad habits early in life and now want tochange or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previous learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.Boys usually develop bad habits when they are very young.

Wrong 

解析：【题 干】研究表明，对已经改掉的习惯很难做出反应。 【解 析】从第五段第二句“We may try to change our ways，but after a while，the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned．”可知我们尝试改变方式，但首先出现在我们脑海中的通常是我们最开始学的。由此可推理，要摆脱最先认知的内容是更困难的。因此题干内容有误，故选B。 【考点延伸】这是一个由细节进行推理的题目，需要根据原文回现与题干内容进行对应并进一步推理后才能做出选择。

[单选题]Basketball in American is so popular with universities thatnationwide university matches are held yearly.

回答下面的题目：American SportsThe United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in Americatake a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw hugecrowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games,played forrecreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Mostsports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the timeof year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectatorsgreatly exceeds the number playing in the game.Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is playedthroughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play wellinto the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the onemost nearly like it is the English game of cricket.Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The gameoriginated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played byalmost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiumsof some of the largest universities seat as many as 80, 000 people. The game isnot the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmetsbecause the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in othercountries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoorsthroughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very populargame with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high schoolmatches are held yearly.Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horseracing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy ofthe term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the racescan be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do"not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon theoutcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old,in the US.

[单选题]The three vowels mentioned in this article are all Finnish sounds.

回答下面的题目：Easy LearningStudents should be jealous．Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but they’ve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep.By the time babies are a year old they can recognise a lot of sounds and even simple words．Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake.To test the theory, Cheour and her colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first few days of their lives．They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds—one that sounds like “oo”, another like “ee” and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between．EEG recordings of the infants brains before and after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish the sounds.Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers, while the rest were split into two sleep-study groups．One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels, while the others listened to other, easier-to-distinguish vowel sounds.When tested in the morning, and again in the evening, the babies who’d heard the tricky boundary vowel all night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognise this new sound．They could identify the sound even when its pitch was changed, while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.Cheour doesn’t know how babies accomplish this night-time learning, but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults, babies don’t “turn off” their cerebral cortex while they sleep．The skill probably fades in the course of the first year of life, she adds—so forget the idea that you can pick up tricky French vowels as an adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow．But while it may not help grown-ups, Cheour is hoping to use the sleeping hours to give remedial help to babies who are genetically at risk of language disorders.Babies can learn language even in their sleep.
