16、fficult 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.Memory can be defined as the
17、 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 sniffed (嗅出) something su
18、spicious 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 a human being. The insta
19、nt 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 amount of information that t
20、he 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 combinations of words. But whi
21、le 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.41 Which of the following is TRUE about memory?（A）It helps us perceive things ha
22、ppening 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.42 According to the passage, memory is hefpful in one s life in the following aspects EXCEPT that_.（A）it involves a cha
23、nge in ones behavior（B） it keeps information for later use（C） it warns people not to do things repeatedly（D）it enables one to remember events that happened in the past43 What is the author s view about computers and human beings in terms of intelligence?（A）Computers have better memory than a child d
24、oes.（B） Computers are as intelligent as a teenager is.（C） Computers can understand as many as 100,000 words.（D）Human beings aire far superior to computers.44 What is the major characteristic of man s memory capacity according to the author?（A）It can be expanded by language.（B） It can remember all th
25、e combined words.（C） It may keep all the information in the past.（D）It may change what has been stored in it.45 Human beings make themselves different from other animals by_.（A）having the ability to perceive danger（B） having a far greater memory capacity（C） having the ability to recognize faces and
26、places on sight（D）having the ability to draw on past experiences45 Most personnel 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
27、 everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable 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
28、work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “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 u
29、p to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice 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 tr
30、uth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their 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 insp
31、ection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.46 The best title of this passage can be_.（A）How to Catch Out the Dishonest Candidate（B） How to Find a Jo
32、b by Tricks（C） Disadvantages of Job Interviews（D）Advantages of Job Interviews47 The liars hard to recognize are those who tell_.（A）complete truths（B） complete lies（C） partial truths（D）mainly truths48 How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?（A）By leaving out some necessary info
33、rmation.（B） By providing more information than needed.（C） By using their body language.（D）By telling some unbelievable lies.49 In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we_.（A）examine the resumes carefully（B） inspect the candidates aggressively（C） correct the resu
34、mes intentionally（D）compare ones resume with others50 What is the authors attitude towards job interviews?（A）Most objective.（B） Too subjective.（C） Suspicious.（D）Credulous.50 Researchers say extra vitamin E fed to turkeys appears to help control infections from listeria (李氏杆菌). People who eat foods t
35、hat contain this bacteria can get listeriosis (李氏杆菌病).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 t
36、o poultry (家禽) products that have not been cooked 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. Researcher
37、s from Iowa State University and the University 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 h
38、elps prevent oxygen from combining with these fats 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, th
39、e researchers infected all the young turkeys with 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
40、 had the lowest number of infections.The scientists 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
41、 diseases that can be carried by birds.The 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).51 The disease caused by listeria_.（A）is linked to poultry products cooked e
42、nough（B） is especially dangerous not only to newborn babies but also to people with weakened defenses（C） is not dangerous（D）is dangerous only to pregnant women and newborn babies52 Who took part in the research?（A）Researchers from the University of Arkansas.（B） Researchers from Iowa State University

44、ls.（D）Extra amounts of vitamin E can improve the quality of meat.54 The cells called lymphocytes_.（A）will help protect against only the disease caused by listeria（B） help protect against diseases that can be carried by birds（C） will not help protect against other diseases（D）help protect against othe
45、r diseases that can be carried by turkeys55 What is the best title for this article?（A）The Seriousness of Listeria（B） Protection of the Poultry（C） The New Discovery about Vitamin E（D）Research in the Universities55 Charles Dickens was bom in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight chi
46、ldren. His father 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
47、 were about poor 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 prom
48、inent writer in 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
49、very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous(过分注意琐事的). Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place. He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase (花瓶) of flowers and the same ornaments(装饰物) on it. He wrote 2,000 words a
