Our memory tells us who we are. Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what
8、 we have learnt in the past. In fact we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory that they can remember exacdy what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture. Our verbal(言语的
9、 )memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written: Items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates, or a recipe. With our emotional(情感的 )memory, we recall situations or places where we had; strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have sp
10、ecial memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements. We have two ways of storing any of these memories. Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds enough to remember a telephone number while we dial. Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may st
11、ore items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much biter long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance(记忆 )of when they were very young. Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past, and
12、 that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past, or maybe victims needing sympathy(同情 ). 16 Visual memory helps us recall a pl
13、ace we have been to. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 Visual memory may be used when we read a story. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 Verbal memory helps us read words we have never heard. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 Emotional memory is used when we perform phy
14、sical movements. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 Animals do not have a long-term memory. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 Long-term memory is more important than short-term memory. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Generally we remember only a few facts about the pas
15、t. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-26题要求从所给的 6个选项中为第 2-5段每段选择一个最佳标题； (2)第 27-30题要求从所给的 6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。 22 Transport and Trade 1 Transport is one of the aids to trade. By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to plac
16、es where they are scarce, transport adds to their value. The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale. 2 The great adv
17、ances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade. Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, a
18、nd selling goods to, all parts of the globe. Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods were delivered to their homes.
19、 Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance. 3 Transport also prevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns. Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have
20、 to live on what is produced locally. Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living. 4 By moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, for example, through electric cables, transport has l
21、ed to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes
22、, the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried. Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living. 5 Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radi

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone ha
27、s a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the aftern
28、oon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “ Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and
29、wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit to it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway. Counteract y
30、our cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow s
31、tart which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks

The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on L
37、ittle Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by “ light dues“ levied(征收 )on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. Until then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies. Litde over a century later, there were 700 lighthouses. The first
38、 eight lighthouses erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured the same basic New England design: a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles. Since most stations in
39、the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences(高处 ), enormous towers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts; some were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south, from Maryland through the Florida Keys, the coast was low and s
40、andy. It was often necessary to build tall towers there massive structures like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, which was lit in 1870. 190 feet high, it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country. Not withstanding differences in construction appearance, most lighthouses
41、 in America shared several features: a light, living quarters, and sometimes a bell(or, later, a foghorn). They also had something else in common: a keeper and usually the keepers family. The keepers essential task was trimming the lantern wick(灯芯 )in order to maintain a steady, bright flame. The ea
42、rliest keepers came from every walk of life, they were seamen, farmers, mechanics, rough mill hands and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board, and agenc
43、y of the Treasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly professional. 36 Which is the best title for the passage? （ A） The Lighthouse on Litde Brewster Island. （ B） The Life of a Lighthouse Keeper. （ C） Early Lighthouses in the United States. （ D） The Modern Profession of Lighthouse-k

47、40 Computers in Cars Youre far from home on a lonely road. Shadowy forests stretch away on both sides. A thick mist(雾 )makes it difficult to see far beyond your cars windshield(挡风玻璃 ). “Can this be route 90A?“ you wonder. If it is, you should be near a town. Yet theres no hint of one. Night is closi
48、ng in. And youre low on gasoline. This is a situation where an in-car computer that can navigate would be a big help. A car computer that navigates? Yes! Such computers exist. Several experimental models are being tested by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and several foreign car makers. These comput
49、ers vary in detail. But they all contain series of maps on videodiscs or videotapes. For example, one computer system contains 13, 300 maps covering the continental US. Before starting out on a trip, a driver can type in the code for the region he or she plans to drive through. The computer then shows a map of that region. At the same time, a tiny radio receiver linked to the computer goes to work. It picks up signals from navigation satellites suc
