    A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children, like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents, seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
    A man’s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind.
    Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
    小题1:We usually begin to learn our own language by ________ it.
    A．speakingB．hearingC．sayingD．teaching
    小题2:If you have a good ________ , you’ll have less difficulty in learning something.

    I passed all the other courses that I took at my university, but I could have never passed botany. This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells, and I could never once see a cell through a microscope. This used to make my professor angry. He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the structure of flower cells, until he came to me. I would just be standing there. “I can’t see anything,”I would say. He would begin patiently enough, explaining how anybody can see through a microscope, but he would always end up angrily, claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldn’t. “It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway.”I used to tell him.“We are not concerned with beauty in this course,”he would say.“We are concerned with the structure of flowers.” “Well,” I’d say.“I can’t see anything.” “Try it just once again,” he’d say, and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all, except now and again something unclear and milky. “You were supposed to see a clear, moving plant cells shaped like clocks.” “I see what looks like a lot of milk.” I would tell him. This, he claimed, was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly, so he would readjust it for me, or rather, for himself. And I would look again and see milk.
    I failed to pass botany that year, and had to wait a year and try again, or I couldn’t graduate. The next term the same professor was eager to explain cell-structure again to his classes. “Well,”he said to me, happily, “we’re going to see cells this time, aren’t we?” “Yes,sir,” I said. Students to the right of me and to the left of me and in front of me were seeing cells; what’s more, they were . Of course, I didn’t see anything.
    So the professor and I tried with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only once did I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, something like stars. These I hurriedly drew. The professor, noting my activity, came to me, a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing. “What’s that?”he asked.“That’s what I saw,”I said.“You didn’t, you didn’t, you didn’t!”he screamed, losing control of himself immediately, and he bent over and looked into the microscope. He raised his head suddenly. “That’s your eye!”he shouted.“You’ve adjusted the microscope so that it reflects!You’re drawn your eye!”
    小题1:Why couldn’t the writer see the flower cells through the microscope?     .
    A．Because he had poor eyesight
    B．Because the microscope didn’t work properly
    C．Because he was not able to adjust the microscope properly
    D．Because he was just playing jokes on his professor by pretending not to have seen it
    小题2:What does the writer mean by “his eyebrows high in hope”in the last paragraph?
    A．His professor expected him to have seen the cells and drawn the picture of them
    B．His professor hoped he could perform his task with attention
    C．His professor wished him to learn how to draw pictures
    D．His professor looked forward to seeing all his students finish their drawings
    小题3:What is the thing like stars that the writer saw in the last paragraph?
    A．Real starsB．His own eye
    C．Something unknownD．Milk
    小题4:In what writing style did the writer write the passage?
    A．Realistic B．RomanticC．SeriousD．Humorous

    My bike was a three-speed English “racer”, purchased during my second year in college in November 1964 for $44. Most of the money was earned by myself in my spare time, but I had to get my mother to help me out a little. At that time, bikes were rare on a college campus. My reason for getting a bicycle was a little strange. A friend of mine convinced me to take a summer job selling door-to-door and suggested that I should use a bicycle to travel between houses. The job didn’t work out, but the idea was in my brain.
    That fall, I borrowed another student’s bike and rode 45 miles on the first day, but his bike soon had a flat(瘪了的轮胎) which he didn’t like fixing. So I had to buy one. I immediately started using mine almost every day. Before getting the bike, I sometimes walked 28 miles to my parents’ house. Now the bike gave me a quicker method, but my first trip took four hours due to strong headwinds that had me fight for every foot. Once I made a trip of 100 miles in one day. I decided to use the bike to go camping in the Smokies. During the trip, I recognized the need for handlebars and more gears, so I bought a ten-speed after just one year though I loved this bike.
    The first bike “hung around” for a couple of years, and then I gave it to my sister’s kids who let it become part of their lives.
    小题1:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．His mother gave him some money when he bought the first bike.
    B．The first bike was a gift from his mother.
    C．He bought the first bike for racing.
    D．He wanted to buy a bike because all his classmates had one.
    小题2:We can infer that besides studying at college the writer ____.
    A．often helped his friend do business
    B．also worked in a factory
    C．had part-time jobs in his spare time
    D．had to make money to pay for his tuition
    小题3:The underlined phrase “the idea” in the first paragraph refers to “____”.
    A．selling door-to-door
    B．buying a bike of his own
    C．borrowing a bike from others
    D．earning money by working
    小题4:According to the passage, we can learn that the first bike was ____ for him.
    A．unnecessaryB．very useful
    C．a lifelong toolD．too troublesome

    It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses’  hoofs(马蹄) from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we’d lie on Mom’s bed and stare for hours at the TV screen.
    But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses where she cleaned books. So she came home one day, switched off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”
    We moaned（不满,发牢骚） and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”
    So pretty soon there were these two peevish（坏脾气的）boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly（不情愿） among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.
    The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers（河狸）. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.
    It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip（快速翻动）of a page.
    Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary form my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books.
    Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery(儿童神经外科)at John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.
    But I know when the journey began the day Mom switched off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.
    小题1:We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ___________.
    A．the author and his brother had done well in school
    B．the author had been very concerned about his school work
    C．the author had spent much time watching TV after school
    D．the author had realized how important schooling was
    小题2:Which of the following is not true about the author’s family?
    A．He came from a middle-class family.
    B．He came from a single-parent family.
    C．His mother worked as a cleaner.
    D．His mother had received little education.
    小题3:How did the two boys feel about going to the library at first?
    A．They were afraidB．They were reluctant.
    C．They were impatient.D．They were eager to go.
    小题4:The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT that ___________.
    A．he began to see something in his mind
    B．he could visualize what he read in his mind
    C．he could go back to read the books again
    D．he realized that books offered him new experience

    When I woke next morning, I was dying of 36 .I seemed to have a hole instead of a  37   I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dinning-room. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper（背景墙） I had ever seen ! 38 , I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better 39 there than in any other hotel; and that was 40 I wanted just then.
    The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared 41 carefully for what I must 42. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure 43 “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right 44 and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.
    The waiter asked me 45 I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at me in a 46  way, so I repeated it, still he did not understand. It was 47 that English people didn’t understand their language. The waiter 48 his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter--- enough to feed a small army--- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left 49. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little 50, but you can never 51 what a waiter’s face really shows. In another minute he brought 52  tray with some bacon(熏肉) and some eggs. He 53  have misunderstood me , but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language , so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.
    Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made my way slowly to my room-----at least five pound 54 . I never believed until then that any meal could 55 me, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑铁卢).
