Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life
and every word in your favorite book? That’s what Becky’s life is like, and as
wonderful as it sounds, it can also be quite terrifying at times.
Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years.
“What nonsense (胡说八道)!” she thought, because she could clearly remember
her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her
to the driver’s seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn’t nonsense.
She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called
HSAM(Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory).
Becky’s unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 minutes,
where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite
book series, Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her
a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and
could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.
Being able to remember every little detail is a great ability, but as every person
with HSAM will tell you, it can be very hard to deal with. Forgetting is one of the
things we use to get over sad experiences in our lives, but it’s something that people
like Becky are unable to do. Even walking on the street and lightly bumping(撞) into
somebody brings back memories from Becky’s childhood, when a boy knocked her
over. She’s taken right back to that time, living the experience all over again. Also,
like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems
filtering(过滤) through all the information, remembering only the important bits.
Becky’s special brain could help scientists find a way to treat people with terrible
illnesses like Alzheimer’s. Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even
preventing Alzheimer’s.
24.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.What people with HSAM feel like. B.Why HSAM is unfamiliar to people.
C.How Becky knew she was different. D.How Becky spent her early childhood.
25.Why was Becky asked questions on 60 minutes?
A.To help treat her illness. B.To advertise Harry Potter.
C.To test her ability to remember. D.To encourage other kids to read.
26.Which of the following troubles Becky?
A . She can’t forget her painful experience. B . She feels tired remembering
everything.
C.She can’t get along well with other kids. D.She is different from other kids of
her age.
27.Why does Becky do poorly at school?
A . She feels sad every time she studies. B . She remembers too much
information.
C.She can’t deal with difficult problems. D.She can’t understand the teacher in
class.

Samuel looked at his sister, Emily, and said, “I wouldn’t have thought Everett
would be a thief.” Emily replied, “Whoa, we don’t know that for sure.” Samuel said,
“But who else could it be? He was there, he had them in his hands, and now they are
missing.”
Samuel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for
Everett to see. At the end of that day, Samuel’s mother asked him to take a note to
Mr. Bates down the street, so he asked his friend, “Is it okay if I leave you for a few
minutes?” Everett had said, “Go ahead. I’ll clean up here,” pointing at the piles of
coins on the floor. When Samuel had returned, he had done his homework, had eaten
dinner, and had read for a while before bed. It was not until two days later that he
realized the quarters were gone.
Emily said, “Why don’t you just ask him?” “Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did
you steal my coin collection?” Samuel thought for a moment, deciding if that would
be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of betrayal (背叛). “How could I have misjudged my friend?”
The next day Samuel went over to Everett’s house. Everett was acting funny. In
fact, Samuel thought Everett was acting like someone with a secret. Suddenly, Everett
cried, “I can’t stand it anymore!” and pulled something from underneath the chair.
“Go on — open it! I was going to wait until your birthday tomorrow, but I can’t
wait!”
Slowly, Samuel lifted the top of the box. Laid out in front of him were all of the
quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own place in a new
collection case. Each quarter shone like it was new.
Samuel felt heat rush over his neck and ears. He weakly said, “Thank you — this
means ... a great deal to me.” He was thankful that Everett had cut him off before he
said something bad. Everett was exactly the type of person he wanted as a friend!
28. From Paragraph 1-3, we know that ________.
A. Samuel’s coins were missing B. Everett had stolen
Samuel’s coins
C. Samuel has a bad memory D. Everett lives down the
street
29. The word “misjudged” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. agreed with B. been wrong about C. cared about D. been troubled by
30. What kind of person is Everett?

C. He enjoys surprising his friends. D. He is helpful.
31. The story wants to tell us that ________.
A. trust is an important part of friendship
B. special interests make life more colorful
C. advice from family members can solve problems
D. friends enjoy giving surprising gifts to each other
D
The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a
hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great
invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010,
while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got
inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to
clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the
bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams
and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel
light.
Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university
students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a
flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate
bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along
with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is
squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick
wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean
anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a
capacity to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this
year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when
it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities
searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of
the past!32.What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?
A.His job requirements. B.His personal experience.
C.His interest in invention. D.A traditional washboard.
33.Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?
A.The invention was not so convenient. B.Clothes couldn’t be washed
well.
C.The bag couldn’t contain enough water. D.The cost of the invention was very
high.
34.It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.
A.turns to be much environmentally friendlier
B.will replace the traditional washing machines
C.can encourage more people to travel a long distance
D.will be widely used by more travelers in the future
35.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Introducing a great new invention.
B.Explaining the development of backpack
C.Listing some common problems for travelers.
D.Comparing two kinds of washing machines.

中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两个选项为多余选项。
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the
grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are
speaking quite fluently. 36
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most
difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most
important thing is to listen as often as possible.
__37____ The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can
download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the
Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated(受
阻) by limited understanding._____38____ Here is some of the advice I give my
students:
▲Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
▲Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for
more times.
▲Do not translate everything into your native language.
▲_____39_____Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the
main ideas.
▲Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went
to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on
translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in
confusion._____40_____Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and
the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm,
I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the
speaker had said.
A. What should you do?
B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
C. So, what you need to do is find listening resources.
D. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
E. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners?
F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.第三部分 语言知识应用(共两节,满分 45 分)

You may be surprised to see “making sure children never suffer” as a mistake.

A little boy felt sorry for a butterfly 43 to emerge from its chrysalis(蛹). He

the chrysalis helps the butterfly become stronger.
Like the little boy, 49 too often want to protect their children from struggle
in the 50 of love. They don’t realize that their children need to struggle, to
experience 51 , to deal with disappointment, and to solve their own problems.
Only in this way 52 children strengthen their emotional strength, become 53
and develop the skills necessary for the even bigger struggles they will meet
throughout their lives. Children experiencing sufferings can 54 the ups and
downs of life.
However, it isn’t helpful either in this case when parents 55 lectures(训斥),
blame and shame to what the child is experiencing. Mothers 56 to say, “Stop
crying and acting like a spoiled boy. You can’t always get what you want.” These
57 words should be avoided. Instead, parents can offer loving support. You can say,
“Don’t lose 58 . Be brave! You will succeed if you try again.” Then comes the
tough part—no 59 and no lectures. Simply allow him to discover that he can
