Everybody knows th

26、at. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become st

27、rong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but they have be

28、tter memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the pe

29、ople: practise remembering.56.

Dont Stop Using Your Arms Or LegsC. Strong Arms And Good Memories D. Learn From The PeopleBAstronauts on s

32、horter shuttle missions often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the days work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quart

33、er of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video con

34、ferences.While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronau

35、ts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some web surfing in

36、 their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and

37、the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earths vast land mass and oceans.60. What does the word mimic in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. copy B. find C. changeD. lose61. Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?

38、 A. They are impatient and annoyed. B. They are worried and upset. C. They are caring and thoughtful. D. They are excited and curious.62.

39、fe as common D. get more pleasure in space than on the Earth63. The passage mainly discusses how astronauts _. A. work for longer missions in space B. spend their free time in space C. observe the Earth from space D. connect with people on the EarthCMuch of the water we use comes from snow. Melting

40、snow provides water for rivers, electric power centers and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to 75% of all surface water supplies.Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from cold, winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped amon

41、g the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced.Snow also is known to influence the movement of sound waves. When there is fresh snow on the ground, the surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. However, snow can become hard and flat as i

42、t becomes older or if there have been strong winds. Then the snows surface will help to send back sound waves. Under these conditions, sounds may seem clearer and travel farther.Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural m

43、aterials take in some sunlight. This gives them their color. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected. Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. Yet the snow does take in a little sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white appearance.S

44、ometimes, snow or ice may appear to be blue. The blue light is the product of a long travel path through the snow or ice. In simple terms, think of snow or ice as a filter. A filter is designed to reject some substances, while permitting others to pass through. In the case of snow, all the light mak

45、es it through if the snow is only a centimeter thick. If it is a meter or more thick, however, blue light often can be seen.64. How many functions of snow are discussed in the passage? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four65. Why does snowfall help to protect plants from cold? A. Because snow crystals cont

46、ain heat. B. Because snow crystals have air in them. C. Because snow crystals are easy to blow away. D. Because snow crystals send out heat when melting.66. It can be inferred that _. A. hard snow is better in protecting wild animals than fresh snow B. fresh snow is better in sending sound waves tha

47、n hard snow C. fresh snow is better in taking in sound waves than hard snow D. hard snow provides less water than fresh snow67. The color of snow and ice appears white because snow crystals_. A. send back none of the sunlight B. send back all of the sunlight C. take in most of the sunlight D. take i

48、n some of the sunlightDAs any housewives who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis carried out his study by videotaping the families while they ate

49、ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the chil

50、dren. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings

51、. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk a

52、round during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is nothing.”68. The writers purpose in writing the text is to _.A. show the relationship between parent

53、s and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems69. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _.A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the l

54、east attention from the familyC. are often not allowed to come to the dinner tableD. find it hard to get along well with other children70. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.B. It is a good idea to have the TV on du

55、ring dinner.C. It is important to have the right food for children.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner. 第二節(jié) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Curiosity is an important characteristic of a genius.
