    We each have a memory（记忆力）. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
    A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
    But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
    小题1:、Some people can easily learn many things by heart because                .

      If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
    The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
    It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc. .
    I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something  just  on  a screen.
    小题1:.

    D more and more people will watch TV

    The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means （通讯设备）.Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
    Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
    Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
    Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.
    Pollution by carbon dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is true that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
    The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.
    小题1:.
    . Hundreds of years ago, the pollution was _________it is today.
    A．much easier thanB．as easy asC．as hard asD．much less than
    小题2:.
    Our world is becoming much smaller_________.
    A．because the earth is being polluted day and night
    B．because science is developing

    小题3:.
    Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because_________.
    A．it does harm to all living things in the worldB．it makes much noise
    C．it makes our rivers and lakes dirtyD．it makes us angry more easily
    小题4:.
    Which of the following is NOT the possible way to reduce air pollution?
    A．Stop people from burning coal in the houses and factories in the city

    With fears of a possible nuclear meltdown(核反应堆堆芯的熔毁) in Japan building up, evidence has come to light that the nation received warnings over the stability of its power plants from an international watchdog more than two years ago.
    　　As the Telegraph is reporting, an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in December 2008 that safety rules were out of date, and strong earthquakes would cause a “serious problem” for the power stations.
    　　A U.S. embassy document, by quoting（引用）an unnamed expert, states: “He (the IAEA official) explained that safety guides for earthquakes have only been updated three times in the last 35 years and that the IAEA is now re-examining them. Also, the presenter noted recent earthquakes in some cases have gone beyond the design basis for some nuclear plants, and that this is a serious problem that is now driving earthquake safety work.”
    　　The Telegraph also reports that the government responded to the warnings by building an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant designed to resist magnitude-7.0 earthquakes. Friday's earthquake, originally named a magnitude-8.9 shock, has since been upgraded to magnitude-9.0.
    　　Other nuclear experts state IAEA officials had willingly ignored lessons from the Chernobyl disaster to protect the nuclear industry's expansion, reports Bloomberg. “After Chernobyl, all the force of the nuclear industry was directed to hide this event, for not creating damage to their reputation,”Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreyev tells Reuters, before noting that radiation from spent fuel rods（棒）stored close to reactors at Fukushima looked like an example of putting profit before safety. “The Japanese were very greedy, and they used every square inch of the space. But when you have a dense(密集的) placing of spent fuel in the basin, you have a high possibility of fire if the water is removed from the basin.”
    小题1: From the passage, we know that ____________.
    A．people fear that the nuclear meltdown will possibly become more and more serious in Japan
    B．people are becoming more and more afraid of a possible nuclear meltdown in Japan
    C．Japan made no response to the warnings over the safety of its power plants
    D．Iouli Andreyev warned Japan not to store spent fuel rods close to reactors
    小题2: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Japan was warned of the stability of its power plants when they were built over 2 years ago.
    B．Safety guides for earthquakes should be updated three times in 35 years.
    C．The emergency response centre at the Fukushima Daiichi plant can not resist Friday’s
    earthquake.
    D．IAEA officials advised Japan to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster.
    小题3: IAEA officials were willing to ignore lessons from the Chernobyl disaster because they want ________.
    A．to put profit before safety.B．the nuclear industry to develop
    C．to protect the reputation of JapanD．every inch of land to be made good use of
    小题4:The writer develops this passage mainly by__________.
    A．making comments B．providing facts
    C．quoting what experts say D．analysing what happened

    Before astronauts can go into space, they have to have the right suit. That’s why NASA（美国国家航天和航空局）scientists are developing a new kind of space suit——lighter and more flexible than before. These new space suits will have lots of mobility(灵活性) for the astronauts, but will not need much maintenance. NASA wants the suits to include new technology that can help astronauts be safe in outer space.
    Right now, the American space suit weighs about 275 pounds and is big and massive. But the suit is also easy to work in for long periods of time. The Russian space suit is less complicated, but is used only a few times and then gets thrown away.
    “Finding the right balance is always going to be a challenge,” said a long-time astronaut Jeff Williams. Williams has worn both types of suits. Space suits protect astronauts from both extreme heat and freezing temperatures. They carry life-packs with oxygen for the astronauts. They also shield astronauts from radiation, or particles that send out harmful rays.
    Scientists are using computers to design the new suits. This allows them to change the design again and again, and to even test the design out before actually making anything. “There’s a lot more capable tools and technology to get the job done——a lot more knowledge, as well,” said Joe Kosmo. Kosmo helped design, develop, and test suits during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and shuttle periods.
    These new space suits will be much lighter and use a new kind of complex material. They also will have a smaller life support backpack, thanks to tiny electronics. NASA hopes to have the first prototypes(原型) in development by 2010 and certify(证明) the suit by 2012. This will be in time for the launch of the Orion spaceship in 2014.
    小题1: What characteristic does the new space suit have?
    A．The new space suit will need much maintenance.
    B．The new space suit will be heavier than before.
    C．The new space suit will have less mobility than before.
    D．The new suit will use new technology to help astronauts be safe in outer space.
    小题2:What’s the disadvantage of the Russian space suit?
    A．The Russian space suit is big and massive.
    B．The Russian space suit is much complicated.
    C．The Russian space suit is merely used a few times.
    D．The Russian space suit is easy to work in for long periods of time.
    小题3:The underlined word “shield” in the third paragraph might mean_______.
    A．harmB．protectC．helpD．warn
    小题4:Why can scientists test the design out before actually making the new space suits?
    A．Because designing the new space suit is not a complex task.
    B．Because computers are being used to help scientists design the new space suits.
    C．Because it needs little knowledge to design the new space suits.
    D．Because the scientists only change the old space suits a little and make them into the new ones.
    小题5:How long will it take scientists to put the new space suits from prototypes into the first practical use?
    A．Two years.B．Three years.C．Four years.D．Six years.

    In general, it seems reasonable to suppose that we should prefer peace and quiet to noise. And yet most of us have had the experience of having to adjust to sleeping in the mountains or the countryside because it was initially “too quiet”, an experience that suggests that humans are capable of adapting to a wide range of noise levels. Research supports this view. For example, Glass and Singer (1972) exposed people to short bursts of very loud noise and then measured their ability to work out problems and their physiological reactions to the noise. The noise was quite disruptive at first, but after about four minutes the subjects were doing just as well on their tasks as control subjects who were not exposed to noise. Their physiological reactions also declined quickly to the same levels as those of the control subjects.
    But there are limits to adaptation and loud noise becomes more troublesome if the person is required to concentrate on more than one task. For example, high noise levels affect the performance of subjects who were required to monitor three dials at a time, a task not unlike that of a plane pilot or an air-traffic controller. Similarly, noise did not affect a subject’s ability to track a moving line with a steering wheel, but it did affect the subject’s ability to repeat numbers while tracking (Finkelm and Glass 1970).
    Probably the most significant finding from the research on noise is that its predictability is more important than how loud it is. We are much more able to “tune out” long-lasing background noise, even if it is quite loud, than to work under circumstances with unexpected disturbance of noise. In Glass and Singer’s study, in which subjects were exposed to bursts of noise as they worked on a task, some subjects heard loud bursts and others heard soft bursts. For some subjects, the bursts were spaced exactly one minute apart (predictable noise); others heard the some amount of noise overall, but the bursts occurred at random intervals (unpredictable noise). Subjects reported finding the predictable and unpredictable noise equally annoying, and all subjects performed at about the same level during the noise portion of the experiment. But the different noise conditions had quite different after-effects when the subjects were required to proofread written material under conditions of no noise. The study shows that the unpredictable noise produced more errors in the later proofreading task than predictable noise; and soft unpredictable noise actually produced slightly more errors on this task than the loud predictable noise.
    Apparently, unpredictable noise produces more fatigue than predictable noise, but it takes a while for this fatigue to take its toll on performance.
    小题1:When talking about people’s difficulty in sleeping in the mountains, what can be inferred in the passage?
    A．They usually do not prefer peace and quiet to noise.
    B．They may be exposed to short bursts of very strange sounds.
    C．They prefer to hear a certain amount of noise while they sleep.
    D．They may not have adapted to a higher noise level in the city.
    小题2:What did Glass and Singer find in their noise experiment?
    A．Problem-solving is much easier under quiet conditions.
    B．Physiological reactions prevent the ability to work.
    C．Bursts of noise hardly disturb problem-solving in the long term.
    D．The physiological reactions of the control subjects declined quickly.
    小题3:Researchers discovered that high noise levels are not likely to affect the __________.
    A．successful performance of a single task
    B．tasks of pilots or air traffic controllers
    C．ability to repeat numbers while tracking moving lines
    D．ability to monitor three dials at once
    小题4: What does “take its toll on performance” in the passage probably mean?
    A．Destroy the performance completely.
    B．Have a negative effect on the performance.
    C．Improve the performance greatly.
    D．Have a positive influence on the performance.

    The deserts of the world are not all covered with sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay(黏土) or small stones. They are not flat, either. They often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plants’ life in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants.
    The deserts of the world are not uninhabited(无人居住的). People also live outside oases(绿洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water.
    The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, they must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, put them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they are also hospitable, no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.

    Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. For Nigel, studying was a piece of cake. The reward was certainly much bigger compared to the little effort Nigel had made. It all began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories. And the peak of his school career came not when he topped the class but when he was selected for the nationwide competition.
    Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join in the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets(乐高积木) and making something out of them. Nigel spent two months building his robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the big prize for the competition as well as a competitive rival(对手), Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to make friends with Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing touches(收尾工作) to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to play a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.
    On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything became clear the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.
    The flashbulbs (闪光灯) of the camera exploded in Nigel's face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists' judgments were the same. Nigel was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never have won the competition.
    小题1:What reward did Nigel receive for doing well in his school work?
    A．He was offered a part-time job.B．He was honored with a scholarship.
    C．He helped his teachers build a robot.D．He helped in the computer laboratories.
    小题2:Nigel's original intention of joining the contest was to ___     .
    A．win honor for his schoolB．be the top student of the school
    C．build a robot with the Lego setsD．win the thousand-dollar prize
    小题3:Why did Nigel help Alicia finish her robot?
    A．He intended to help her.B．He was fond of building robots.
    C．He wanted to be her real friend. D．He didn't want her to suspect (怀疑) him.
    小题4:What is the author's attitude towards Nigel's actions?
    A．Favorable B．Critical (批评的)C．Doubtful D．Sympathetic
