15、ess (国际象棋 ), many beautiful moves could bc made on a chessboard. In a decisive【 C1】 _in which he was evenly matched with a Russian master【 C2】 _, Marshall found his queen under serious attack. There were several ways of【 C3】 _, and since the queen is the most【 C4】 _piece, spectators (观众 ) thought Ma
16、rshall would naturally move his queen to【 C5】 _. Deep in thought, Marshall used all his time to consider the【 C6】 _. He picked up his queen, paused, and placed it down on the most【 C7】 _square of all-a square from which the queen could be【 C8】 _by any one of three enemy pieces. Marshall had sacrific

Marshall had achieved【 C15】 _a very unusual and dating fashion-he had【 C16】 _by sacrificing the queen. To me, its not【 C17】 _that he won. What counts is that Marshall had broken with standard【
19、C18】 _to make such a move. He had looked【 C19】 _the usual patterns of play and had been willing to consider an imaginative risk on the basis of his judgment and his judgment alone.

31、ns to the general public. 59 There are three kinds of memory: sense memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Think of them as three connected rooms in which you store different kinds of memories. The first kind of memory is sense memory. Everything you are sensing right now is stored here. Perh
32、aps you feel the sun on your face or smell the aroma(香味 ) of food. Sense memories last only a few seconds, but they connect one moment to the next. They give your life a flow, even though they are quickly forgotten. You keep a few items(条目 ) in working memory. These are memories you need for what yo
33、u are doing. Suppose you look up a friends telephone number in the phone book. Youll probably remember the number for a little while. But if you get distracted (分神 ), you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working memory for just a few days at most. Working memory has another li
34、mit, too. Only a small number of items fit into it at any given time. Memories you want to keep for a long time go into your long-term memory. They can stay with you all your life. In long-term memory, you can store a huge number of items. Can you re member how to play your favorite game? Do you rec
35、all your first birthday party? If so, you are bringing up memories that are stored in your long-term memory. Sometimes, people have trouble finding a particular long-term memory. Have you ever struggled to remember a familiar name or fact? When this happens, people sometimes say the information is “
36、on the tip of the tongue. “ 60 Which of the following best describes the sense memory? （ A） Its your preference for certain food. （ B） Its something you did a while ago. （ C） Its a memory of the distant past. （ D） Its an immediate memory. 61 What does the author say about working memory? （ A） The nu
37、mber of stored items is limited. （ B） The information contained is lasting. （ C） It stays only while you work. （ D） It stores numbers quickly. 62 If something is“ on the tip of the tongue“ ( Paragraph 4),_. （ A） you say it in a polite way （ B） you remember it all your life （ C） you dont want to writ
38、e it down （ D） you know it but cant remember it 63 What can be a suitable title for the text? （ A） Kinds of Memories （ B） The Length of Memories （ C） New Findings on Memories （ D） The Importance of Memories 63 A study comparing prices in 150 major cities has found that cities in Western Europe have
39、become more expensive to live in since the full introduction of the euro currency (货币 ). The report also noted a fall in living costs in cities where there are economic (经济的 ) or political problems such as Buenos Aires in Argentina and Harare in Zimbabwe. The findings are shown in the latest worldwi
40、de cost of living study conducted yearly by the Economist Intelligence Unit, a business research organization based in London. The information is meant to help big firms set payments for people working away from their home country. As in last years study, two Japanese cities, Tokyo and Osaka, were f
41、ound to be the most expensive places to live. The report also says that cities in the euro zone (欧元区 ) , have become more expensive relative to other places since the introduction of euro notes and coins. For example, Paris now has the tenth highest costs; it was in fourteenth place a few years ago.
42、 Berlin has gone from fiftieth to thirty-first place. Those findings will strengthen the opinion that businesses have exploited disorder over the new currency to push up their prices. But as in past years, the highest costs in Europe are outside the euro zone. London, for example, is the seventh mos
43、t expensive city in the world to live in. New York, which has the highest prices in America, is in 11th place. The biggest fall in relative costs has taken place in Buenos Aires. That partly shows the fall of the Argentine currency, following the countrys inability to pay the money it owes. The chea
44、pest major cities were found to be Tehran in Iran and Harare, capital of Zimbabwe. 64 What is the text mainly about? （ A） The economic development in Europe. （ B） The results of a study. （ C） Living costs outside the euro zone. （ D） Changes in world currencies. 65 The Economist Intelligence Unit has

46、ew currency （ B） living cost dropped in non-European countries （ C） economic growth slowed down in the world （ D） problems occurred in other cities 67 What can we learn from the text? （ A） Buenos Aires is the cheapest city in the world. （ B） Tokyo and Osaka are the most expensive cities. （ C） Paris
47、and Berlin have the highest prices in Europe. （ D） London and Harare are as expensive as they were. 67 Even if your child is an excellent student, you cant expect that he will always dutifully do his homework. The following is some useful advice for helping them deal with their homework. Set a regul
48、ar time and place for study. Give homework its own special time and place, and if your child is in middle or high school, let her set her own timetable. Take it step by step. Children may get overwhelmed (压倒 ) by too much homework they have to do. Encourage your child to calmly work out what needs t
49、o be done and how much time it will take, and then make a plan. Help your child break homework down into manageable steps. Help out.
