【题目】There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.
To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.
【1】 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.
B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.
C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long term memory.
D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.
【2】 From Henning's result we can see that ______.
A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words
B. advanced students always remember words by their meaning
C. it is difficult to remember words that sound alike
D. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning
【3】 The word "subject" in the passage means ______.
A. memory
B. the theme of listening material
C. a branch of knowledge studied
D. the student experimented on
【4】The passage centers on ______.
A. memory B. two kinds of memory
C. short-term memory D. an experiment on student

Recently, as the development of the Internet, there is a kind of language calling Web language. Some people even speak Chinese mixed with English letters. The other day our class had a discussion about if we should welcome the Web language.
Forty percent of the students think it ridiculous. They argue that it does no good helping people communicate, nor is it useful for learning English. Besides, it’ll make Chinese more standard and pure, finally ruining our mother tongue. However, 60% of our class is fond of it. They think it is simple,convenience and helpful in expressing them. What’s more, it may make the language more interesting.
Personally, it’s not good habit to use the Web language. It may be popular, but you may also make yourself be misunderstood.

【题目】Loneliness is like a disease, and what's worse, it's contagious．It can spread from one person to another, according to the recent research that stresses the power of one person's emotions to affect even people he doesn’t know．
The new analysis, involving 4,793 people who were interviewed every two years between 2005 and 2015, showed that a friend of a lonely person was 52％ more likely to develop feelings of loneliness by the time of the next interview．A friend of that person was 25％ more likely, and a friend of a friend of a friend was 15％ more likely．
“Loneliness is not just the property of an individual．It can be transmitted across people—even people you don't have direct contact with,” said John T．Cacioppo, a psychologist of the University of Chicago who led the study published in the December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology．
Loneliness has been linked to medical problems, including depression, sleep problems and generally poorer physical health．Identifying some of the causes could help reduce the emotion and improve health, experts said．
Although the study did not examine how loneliness spreads, Cacioppo said another research has provided clues．“Let's say for whatever reason you get lonely．You then interact with other people in a more negative fashion．That puts them in a negative mood and makes them more likely to interact with other people in a negative fashion and they minimize their social ties and become lonely,” Cacioppo said．
According to Cacioppo, loneliness spread more easily among women than men, perhaps because women were more likely to express emotions．
Lonely people become less and less trusting others．This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends－and more likely that society will reject them．Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness．Cacioppo emphasizes people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks．
【1】 It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ______.
A. Loneliness is actually a kind of disease．
B. More and more people are suffering from loneliness.
C. Loneliness spreads in social networks．
D. Emotions are only transmitted between friends.
【2】According to Cacioppo, lonely people________．
A. will probably be deserted by society
B. are more likely to trust others
C. are less likely to be rejected by friends
D. rely heavily on others
【3】The word “minimize” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. increase B. keep
C. create D. reduce
【4】Which should lonely people do to get rid of loneliness?
A. Refuse the help given by others.
B. Admit and try to solve it.
C. Interact with others more negatively.
D. Express emotions more often.
