24、通过努力记忆，谁能应付得了它们？实际上，中国过去无数学者（包括著名的中国英语学者辜鸿铭）的背诵学习方法本身就是明显的证据，表明艰苦记忆不公必需，而且也是行得通的。所需指出的是，应该强调的不是纯机械性死记，而必须是聪明巧妙和合乎科学的记忆。这也许就是记忆学习所以成为广泛引人兴趣和研究的科目的原因之一。（分数：10.00）_十九、SECTION B ENGLISH TO(总题数：1，分数：10.00)42.And now the same exultation seized me, and once more romance, like a bodily presence, was before

25、me. But it had come so unexpectedly that I was intrigued. I could not tell whether it had crept in among the shadow that the lamp threw on the bamboo matting, or whether it was wafted down the river that I saw through the opening of my cabin. Curious to know what were the elements that made up the i

26、neffable delight of the moment I went out to the stern of the boat. Alongside were moored half a dozen junks, going up river, for their masts were erect; and everything was silent in them. The night was not dark, for though it was cloudy the moon was full, but the river in that veiled light was ghos

27、tly. A vague mist blurred the trees on the further bank. It was an enchanting sight, but there was in it nothing unaccustomed and what I sought was not there. I turned away. But when I returned to my bamboo shelter the magic which had given it so extraordinary a character was gone. Alas, I was like

28、a man who should tear a butterfly to pieces in order to discover in what its beauty lay. And yet, my little cabin, my charcoal, my lamp, even my bed, had still about them something of the thrill which for a moment was mine. I could not see them any more quite indifferently, because for a moment I ha

Sometimes, however, the nature of the goods and t

33、he points of distribution limit a firms transportation choices. Messages can be transported by wire, airwaves, and beams of light; McDonalds hamburgers cannot.Railroads, airplanes, ships, trucks, and pipelines are our major means of transportation. Goods are often transported by a combination of car

34、riers. Truck trailers, for example, are loaded on flatcars and transported by rail to their destination, where a tractor hitches up to the trailer and speeds the goods on to another point. Ships and barges also are equipped to carry trailers.The important factors to be considered by a manager who mu

35、st select modes of transportation are cost and time, for shipping time is an important cost. g recent study of how best to ship fancy fruits from the Pacific Northwest to Scandinavia showed that it would be profitable to fly them by jet-cargo aircraft. The question then arose about what cargo should

36、 be flown back. After extensive study, it was decided that the return cargo should be automobiles.Railroads are best adapted to the transportation of bulk products that are low in value in relation to their weight and that must travel great distances. Because trains can go only where there are track

37、s, railroads can directly serve only points on railroad lines. Piggyback loading of trailers, however, allows the advantages of rail and truck combinations.Truck lines are effective for hauling high-value goods short distances. The highway system permits trucks to reach almost every point in the nat

38、ion and make deliveries directly to destinations without transferring goods. Trucks can stop within a city and move freely from warehouse to retailer and from retailer to consumer. In combination with railroads, trucks can move goods long distances and make delivery directly without unloading and re

39、loading.Over the past two decades, the use of air freight has increased greatly. Once thought of as a means to speed perishables or expensive but light products, air freight now uses high speed, supercargo planes, developed for military operations, to move bulk goods. If tanks and cannons can be car

40、ried by plane, so can many industrial and consumer products. Containerization permits more efficient use of space in planes, and the speed of air transport allows great efficiency.Helicopters have been used to ship large items that could not conveniently be carried by other means. Whole fabricated h

41、ouses have been moved by helicopters from factory to home site, set on the foundation, and made livable by nightfall. The airplane can land only at airports. The helicopter can land almost anywhere. In rugged timber country, it has proved cheaper to use helicopters than to build roads for trucks.Wat

42、erways have long served for transportation. Cargo ships and barges move bulky goods at low costand low speed. The loading of truck trailers directly onto ships and barges brings some flexibility to water transportation. Barges moved by tugboats have long been used to move railroad cars. To overcome

43、bad weather, even submarine transport has been tried.New developments in water transportation include container ships, Large quantities of goods can be stored in their holds and also in standardized and easy-to-handle containers on the decks. New supershipsthe oil tankersare too big for many harbors

44、, so offshore ports are being constructed for unloading.Pipelines are a special form of transportation used mainly to move gasoline, crude oil, and natural gas. It is now possible to move different petroleum products through a pipeline at the same time. Some solids have also been moved by pipeline.

45、The Cleveland Electric Company uses a great deal of coal. When railroad freight rates rose, the company built a pipeline from the coal mines in West Virginia to Cleveland. The coal was ground into a powder that was mixed with water to form a slush. The slush was hydraulically moved through the pipel

46、ine to Cleveland, where it was dried and burned. Many solid products could be moved in this manner. Pipelines usually move fluids, but in the future air or hydraulic action may help to move many other goods through them.Now, you have 2 minutes to check your notes, and then complete the gap-filling task on Answer Sheet One in ten minutes.(
