The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, t
17、he 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. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It not only includes “remembering“ things like arithmet
18、ic (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 sniffed (嗅出) something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and
19、 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 a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“string of alphabetic or numerical characte
20、rsready 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 amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize
21、 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 combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge
22、 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 memory?（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 ro
23、oted in our past habits and skills.D.It connects our past experiences with the present.(2).According to the passage, memory is hefpful in one s life in the following aspects EXCEPT that_.（分数：2.00）A.it involves a change in ones behaviorB.it keeps information for later useC.it warns people not to do t
24、hings 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?（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
25、 many as 100,000 words.D.Human beings aire far superior to computers.(4).What is the major characteristic of man s memory capacity according to the author?（分数：2.00）A.It can be expanded by language.B.It can remember all the combined words.C.It may keep all the information in the past.D.It may change
26、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 memory capacityC.having the ability to recognize faces and places on sightD.having the ability to draw on past experiencesMost personnel
27、 managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor. Most people believe that they are a reas
28、onable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record. But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “
29、This can be a serious problem of employers,“ explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies. “Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice
30、is omission. Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their
31、 anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort. “ Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right question
32、s can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.（分数：10.00）(1).The best title of this passage can be_.（分数：2.00）A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of
33、Job Interviews(2).The liars hard to recognize are those who tell_.（分数：2.00）A.complete truthsB.complete liesC.partial truthsD.mainly truths(3).How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?（分数：2.00）A.By leaving out some necessary information.B.By providing more information than neede
34、d.C.By using their body language.D.By telling some unbelievable lies.(4).In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we_.（分数：2.00）A.examine the resumes carefullyB.inspect the candidates aggressivelyC.correct the resumes intentionallyD.compare ones resume with others
35、(5).What is the authors attitude towards job interviews?（分数：2.00）A.Most objective.B.Too subjective.C.Suspicious.D.Credulous.Researchers say extra vitamin E fed to turkeys appears to help control infections from listeria (李氏杆菌). People who eat foods that contain this bacteria can get listeriosis (李氏杆
36、菌病). This disease is especially dangerous to pregnant women, newborn babies and people with weakened defenses. The United States has more than two thousand cases of listeriosis each year and five hundred people die of it. Some cases have been linked to poultry (家禽) products that have not been cooked
37、 enough. The researchers found that vitamin E improved the ability of turkeys to fight the growth of listeria. The findings could help other meat industries as well. Irene Wesley led the study for the United States Department of Agriculture. Researchers from Iowa State University and the University
38、of Arkansas alse took part. The findings appeared in Poultry Science magazine earlier this year. Vitamin E is found in oils from vegetables, grains and animals. It helps protect some kinds of fatty acids that are necessary for healthy cells. Vitamin E helps prevent oxygen from combining with these f
39、ats to cause damage to cells. Turkeys need vitamin E for normal development. But the scientists added extra amounts to the diet of two groups of turkeys. The birds were one day old. Two other groups were not given any extra vitamin E. After six weeks, the researchers infected all the young turkeys w
40、ith listeria. The scientists then tested the birds for the presence of the bacteria over a period of time. The results showed that the birds that received extra yitamin E did not get infected often as the others. The birds that received the largest amount had the lowest number of infections. The sci
41、entists say vitamin E has a similar effect on chickens. They say chickens and turkeys that receive added vitamin E develop more infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes(淋巴球). The increased number of these cells appears to also help protect against other diseases that can be carried by birds. The
42、scientists continue tests. They want to see if vitamin E can stop other dangerous bacteria that can enter food. They are testing it against salmonella(沙门氏菌) and campylobacter(弯曲杆菌).（分数：10.00）(1).The disease caused by listeria_.（分数：2.00）A.is linked to poultry products cooked enoughB.is especially dan
43、gerous not only to newborn babies but also to people with weakened defensesC.is not dangerousD.is dangerous only to pregnant women and newborn babies(2).Who took part in the research?（分数：2.00）A.Researchers from the University of Arkansas.B.Researchers from Iowa State University.C.Irene Wesley.D.All

46、an be carried by turkeys(5).What is the best title for this article?（分数：2.00）A.The Seriousness of ListeriaB.Protection of the PoultryC.The New Discovery about Vitamin ED.Research in the UniversitiesCharles Dickens was bom in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children. His fathe
47、r always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor
48、 people and their problems. Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in
49、 both Great Britain and the United States. Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio or television, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours an
