But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very important part? For early men, there were dangerous all around them—bad weather, wild animals. The key to keep on living lay in man’s ability to remember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man learned how to deal with them, he became civilized (文明). Surprisingly, scientists today understand little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours. For instance, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon in a particular hotel, it’s likely that you’ll remember your stay quite clearly. Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation (巩固). A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells (神经细胞) acting like a computer. When those changes strengthen the links (联系) in certain nerve cells, a thought becomes part of the long-term memory. 56. According to the author, without the development of man’s memory there would be . A. no modern world B. no recorded history C. no animals D. no dangers 57. Scientists’ knowledge about the function of brain is . A. interesting B. not enough C. great D. encouraging 58. Short-term memory can change into long-term memory on condition that . A. memory is good B. it acts like a computer C. people do more exercise D. the links in nerve cells are strengthened by certain changes 59. So far the great discovery scientists have made about the function of brain is . A. the weight of brain B. two types of memory C. 30 billion nerve cells D. chemical and physical changes (B) A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others. A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year. However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products. At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service weblogs. com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing. One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far. Ms. Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything—politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts. 60. The text is mainly written to . A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog” B. introduce a short way of saying Web log C. tell reader’s about blogs D. tell readers how to write blogs 61. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except . A. different ideas B. medical advice C. advertisements D. account passwords 62. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text? A. Politicians don’t use blogs at all B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls. D. Dave Winer closed his “weblogs.com” because of money shortage. 63. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that . A. it was created by a woman. B. it is about the history of blogs. C. it provides useful information and advice D. it has editions in at least four different languages (C) Jersey City, New Jersey, Nov.10 An underworld leader Gelato and three bodyguards were gunned down on Thursday by unknown attackers after a short gun battle. Gelato and two of the bodyguards died immediately, the police said, while the third bodyguard remains in serious condition at Margaret Haig Hospital. The only eyewitness told the police the three or four gunmen were dressed in overalls and hard hats like building workers. One pulled a light machine gun out of a bag and sprayed the four with bullets, the witness said. The other gunmen fired handguns. Three of the men fell immediately, but one of the bodyguards managed to pull his handgun and returned the fire before being shot himself, the witness said. The gunmen then jumped into a black car and drove off. Police said the car was later found in Stegmen Street. Police sources said the 48-year-old Gelato was the leader of a new crime syndicate (犯罪团伙), challenging the city gangsters (暴徒) for control of the city. The city gangsters decided to get rid of him. Killers were brought in from outside the state to do the job. Police are now waiting to question the surviving bodyguard when he came back to life. Gelato had a long police record with his first arrest when he was 14 years old. He served a total of 17 years in prison for different crimes, from illegal possession of guns to armed robbery. 64. Altogether, ____ were killed in the gun battle. A. three people, Gelato and two gunmen B. three people, Gelato and his two bodyguards. C. four people, Gelato and three gunmen D. four people, Gelato and his three bodyguards 65. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Nobody knew exactly how many people took part in the murder. B. Many people saw the gun battle when it began C. The gun battle lasted for quite a long time D. The bodyguards didn’t have any reaction before they were shot down. 66. The reason why they killed Gelato was that ____. A. he served so many years in prison for different crimes B. he would be arrested again by the police C. he had killed some of the city gangsters D. he wanted to control the city against the city gangsters 67. Why didn’t they take the job of murder themselves, but brought killers from other states? A. They were afraid of Gelato and his men. B. They didn’t have the proper opportunity. C. They didn’t want themselves to get into trouble. D. They never killed any men themselves. (D) Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle….They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake or correct it. Let him work out with the help of other children. If it is a matter of right answer in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine (日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they do not know. 68. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_____. A. listening to skilled people’s advice. B. asking older people many questions C. making mistakes and having them corrected D. doing what other people do 69. According to the writer, teachers in school should _____ . A. allow children to learn from each other B. point out children’s mistakes whenever found C. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible D. give children more book knowledge 70. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are____. A. different from learning other skills B. the same as learning skills C. more important than other skills D. not really important skills 71. The title of this passage could probably be_____ . A. Let Us Teachers Stop Work B. Let Us Make Children Learn C. Let Children Correct Their Exercises D. Let Children Learn by Themselves (E) Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost. From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident. Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year. 72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Traveling by air is as safe as by car. B. Traveling by air is not as safe as by car. C. Traveling by car is as dangerous as by air. D. Traveling by car is more dangerous than by air. 73. The air traffic controllers of an airport . A. control all the planes flying near the airport B. give orders to planes leaving the airport C. only deal with the planes that want to land there D. are ordered to handle 2500 planes a day in England 74. The danger of air crashes grows every year because . A. airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavier B. a pilot does not always hear a controller’s order C. a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes D. airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes 75. The example in the passage is to show that . A. air traffic controllers are often careless B. air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidents C. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidents D. two planes should not fly too close to each other 第二卷（非选择题 共 35 分） 第一节：短文改错（共 10 小题，每小題 1 分，满分 10 分） 此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误， 在该行右边横线上画一个勾（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情 况改正： 此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词， 并也用斜线（\）划掉。 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（/\），在该行右边横线上写出该加 的词。 此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 注意：原行没有错的不要改。 Dear friends, It is real a good chance to have met all of you here. 76.____________ We have spent several precious weekend in learning in the 77. ____________ English Club.
