12、three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 10 It is d

13、ifficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases 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 t

14、he capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering“ things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspiciou

15、s in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat. 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

16、 memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“ ready 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 t

17、otal amount of information which the 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 persons memory is in terms of words

18、and combinations of words. 11 According to the passage, memory is considered to be_. （ A） the basis for decision making and problem solving （ B） an ability to store experiences for future use （ C） an intelligence typically possessed by human beings （ D） the data mainly consisting of words and combin

19、ations of words 12 The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that_. （ A） the computers memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenagers （ B） the computers memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human beings （ C） the computers memor

20、y capacity is much smaller even than a teenagers （ D） both A and B 13 The whole passage implies that_. （ A） only human beings have problem-solving intelligence （ B） a persons memory is different from a computers in every respect （ C） animals are able to solve only very simple problems （ D） animals s

21、olve problems by instincts rather than intelligence 14 The phrase “in terms of“ in the last sentence can best be replaced by_. （ A） in connection with （ B） expressed by （ C） consisting （ D） by means of 15 The topic of the passage is_. （ A） What would life be like without memory? （ B） Memory is of vi

22、tal importance to life. （ C） How is a persons memory different from an animal s or a computers? （ D） What is contained in memory? 15 The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often falls to -30F and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few p

23、eople or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic is home. Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ic

24、e to melt. Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the words 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too. Polar bears cant survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar b

25、ears can hunt seals is on the ice. Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seals breathing hole, which is a narrow tu

26、nnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to return. With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar b

27、ears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs, and they cant always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated fr

28、om their mothers, who provide them with food. Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bear International. The group aims to save the bears and their home. “The more people who see polar bears and understand their difficult situations, the better the chance well alter our warming path in time

29、to save them,“ he says. 16 Which is the best title for the passage? （ A） Climate Change in the Arctic. （ B） How to Protect the Environment? （ C） The Arctic Is Home to Polar Bears. （ D） Polar Bears in Danger. 17 Where do polar bears usually hunt seals? （ A） On land. （ B） In open water. （ C） In openin

30、gs in the sea ice. （ D） At the bottom of the sea. 18 The word “cubs“ in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to_. （ A） adults （ B） babies （ C） hunters （ D） enemies 19 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? （ A） Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into vil

31、lages, where they may be killed either for food or safety. （ B） Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts completely. （ C） Two-thirds of the worlds polar bears may disappear by 2050 as global warming continues. （ D） The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem

32、for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers. 20 Whats the mission of Polar Bears International? （ A） Saving energy. （ B） Conducting scientific research. （ C） Seeking international cooperation. （ D） Saving polar bears and their home. 20 No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he

33、began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made

34、more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or

35、 five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life. The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to r

36、ead. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most useful book. 21 From this passage, we know that_. （ A） man never made sounds （ B） man made animal sounds （ C） man used to be like animals to make sounds （ D） man learned from the animals to m

39、 wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often centre around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do

40、not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive. But in

41、a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the fami

42、ly car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few ad

43、olescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into “solid citizens“ who fulfill most of their parents expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the “generation gap“ is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get

44、along with their adolescents quite well. 26 According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect_. （ A） feeling of hatred （ B） power struggle （ C） that they dont care for each other （ D） that they may appeal to divorce 27 As children enter adolescents, they begin to do the fol
