18、(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. Mem
19、ory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It not only includes “remembering“ things like arithmetic (算术) or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has
20、sniffed(嗅出) something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of
21、 a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“string of alphabetic or numerical charactersready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amou
22、nt of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person“s memory is in terms of words and combi
23、nations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is TRUE about memo
24、ry?（分数：2.00）A.It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.B.It is based on the decisions we made in the past.C.It is rooted in our past habits and skills.D.It connects our past experiences with the present.(2).According to the passage, memory is helpful in one“s life in the following a
25、spects EXCEPT that _.（分数：2.00）A.it involves a change in one“s behaviorB.it keeps information for later useC.it warns people not to do things repeatedlyD.it enables one to remember events that happened in the past(3).What is the author“s view about computers and human beings in terms of intelligence?
26、（分数：2.00）A.Computers have better memory than a child does.B.Computers are as intelligent as a teenager is.C.Computers can understand as many as 100,000 words.D.Human beings are far superior to computers.(4).What is the major characteristic of man“s memory capacity according to the author?（分数：2.00）A.
27、It can be expanded by language.B.It can remember all the combined words.C.It may keep all the information m the past.D.It may change what has been stored in it.(5).Human beings make themselves different from other animals by _.（分数：2.00）A.having the ability to perceive dangerB.having a far greater me
28、mory capacityC.having the ability to recognize faces and places on sightD.having the ability to draw on past experiences六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the t
29、heatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As
30、 I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behin
31、d me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had b
32、een. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn“t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back where I“d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard
33、 the garbage truck pall up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?“ I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you“re looking for?“ he asked,
34、holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn“t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn“t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each ot
35、her.（分数：10.00）(1).How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?（分数：2.00）A.Cold and sick.B.Fortunate and helpful.C.Satisfied and cheerful.D.Disappointed and helpless.(2).From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy _.（分数：2.00）A.solving her problem at the bankB.taking pa

38、king at nightB.would stay on in San FranciscoC.would make friends with cleanersD.would give up her job at the bank七、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In the United States, elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually
39、 very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited(不被认可) rather a long time ago so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direct
40、ion of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competit
41、ion throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and o
42、bviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the U. S. elementa
43、ry education is supposed to make children _.（分数：2.00）A.sensible and sensitiveB.competitive and interestedC.curious and friendlyD.happy and cooperative(2).Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think _.（分数：2.00）A.children are reluctant to help each otherB.schools lay too much e
44、mphasis on cooperationC.children should grow up with competitive ideasD.schools give little actual instruction to children(3).The author“s attitude towards American education can be best described as _.（分数：2.00）A.favorableB.negativeC.tolerantD.unfriendly(4).The American educational system emphasizes
45、 _.（分数：2.00）A.material wealthB.competitionC.cooperationD.personal benefit(5).The word “sociable“ (Para. 2) most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.fond of talking freelyB.friendly with other peopleC.concerned about social welfareD.happy at school八、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Borrowing to start a business is n
46、ot easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle. Banks favor established business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared
47、 business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your
48、business. However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don“t even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay the money they request. Often they don“t even know how
49、much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: “How much money can I get?“ and “As much as possible.“ Is it any wonder that lenders say no? So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.（分数：10.00）(1).By saying “Getting a bank loan. is like going through the eye of a needle“, the writer empha
