22、0，分数：0.00)七、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It was the day I froze a household pet that I began to worry about my memory. Technically, it was not a real household pet I froze but a bag of tropical fish, which on the scale of beloved members of any home, rank somewhere below the family cat and above an attract

23、ive set of coaster. And technically, I didnt completely freeze my fish. Rather, I absent-mindedly tossed them into the refrigerator with a bag of other things I had bought and fortunately found them just before my highly sensitive tropical fish could turn into lightly breaded dinner fish.Nonetheless

24、, that near-death experience for the fish, if not for me woke me up to the fact that my memory might not be all it once was.In the hope of improving my memory, I decided I would first try the memory books. However, much of what I read was, at first blush, utterly forgettable.If I was truly going to

25、juice up my recall, however, book reading wouldnt cut it. What I needed was some kind of memory pill. The big bat in the memory-pill lineup is ginkgo biloba, the dried leaf of the maidenhair tree, thought to improve circulation and in theory, memory. I decided to try it. The package warned that in a

26、ddition to any other problems, ginkgo can cause “mild stomach discomfort.“ After just one pill, I discovered that the package was how best to put this? not kidding. Its hard to say if my memory improved in the little time I was on ginkgo, but I can say I had no trouble at all remembering to eat a ta

27、steless diet for several days afterward.For me, the answer to memory problems was not in the medicine chest, but that didnt mean I was hopeless case. My recall had improved after two weeks in the memory-improvement battle. I may not be able to read a magazine and instantly memorize it, but I now rem

28、ember to buy it when I get to the store. I may not be able to memorize hundreds of names and faces, but at least I wont meet an Alex at a party and find myself calling him Man or Alvin or Evelyn.（分数：10.00）(1).The writer became aware of her memory problem when she realized that she had _.（分数：2.00）A.f

29、orgotten to feed her fishB.forgotten to freeze her fishC.misplaced a bag of dinner fishD.misplaced a bag of tropical fish(2).According to the writer, the memory books she read _.（分数：2.00）A.didnt help at allB.caused new problemsC.wouldnt work at onceD.made her problem worse(3).It can be inferred from

30、 the passage that ginkgo _.（分数：2.00）A.can improve memoryB.works after the first pillC.can produce several side effectsD.causes mild stomach discomfort(4).The writer ate a tasteless diet for several days _.（分数：2.00）A.as a result of her failing tasteB.as was advised by her doctorC.as a result of takin

31、g the drugD.as was warned on the package(5).The writers tone can best be described as one of _.（分数：2.00）A.reliefB.humorC.worryD.solemnity八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)To get a chocolate out of a box requires a considerable amount of unpacking: the box has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arriv

32、ed, the cellophane wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the paper removed, the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. But this overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in b

33、eautiful wrapping.The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the average London household each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the

34、 rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up the environment.Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies, washed out, and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the gro

35、wing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to do away with plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unaccep

36、table to many manufactures who say there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and re-use of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, inten

37、ded to be used just once, and make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after

38、 all, a relatively unimportant function.（分数：10.00）(1).“This overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries“ (line 4, paragraph 1) means _.（分数：2.00）A.more wrapping is needed for ordinary productsB.more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary productsC.too much wrapping is used for both luxur

39、y and ordinary productsD.the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary(2).Packaging is important to manufacturers because _.（分数：2.00）A.it is easy to use it againB.shoppers are interested in beautiful packagingC.they want to attract more shoppersD.packaged things will not go rotten(3).Accordin

40、g the passage, dairies are _.（分数：2.00）A.experimenting with the use of paper bottlesB.giving up the use of glass bottlesC.increasing the use of plastic bottlesD.re-using their paper containers(4).Some environmentalists think that _.（分数：2.00）A.plastic packaging should be made more convenientB.no alter

41、native can be found to plastic packagingC.too much plastic is wastedD.shops should stop using plastic containers(5).The author thinks that _.（分数：2.00）A.packing is actually useless and could be ignoredB.people will soon stop using packaging altogetherC.enough research has been done into recyclingD.it

42、 is better to produce new materials than to re-use old ones九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before ch

43、ildren start attending school. And by the time that the average child finishes high school, he or she will have spent 18,000 hours in front of a television set as opposed to 12,000 hours in a classroom.Parents are concerned about these figures. They are also concerned about the lack of quality in te

44、levision programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Even if it is unreal a cartoon cat beating up a cartoon mouse with a baseball bat this violence may have a negative effect on the young minds exposed to it. Studies indicated that, when children are expo

45、sed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all

46、 because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational televisions has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is “Sesame Street“, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning t

47、he alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give “Sesame Street“ and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children.

48、These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.We still do not know enough about the effects of watching television to be able to say whether or n

49、ot it is good for children. Until we do, perhaps it would be wise to put a warning on television sets such as the one on cigarette packages: “Caution: Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Your Childs Developing Mind./（分数：10.00）(1).We can infer from the text that _.（分数：2.00）A.parents are strongly opposed to children watching TVB.a cartoon program is not harmful if it is not realC.children may imitate what they have seen on televisionD.the quality of childrens programs is not the parents ma
