26、o Books Ltd., 14, Woodman Road, Hertford Estate, Two Bridges, Rickmansworth, West Sussex. Middx. 25th FebruaryDear sir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set ( eight

27、 books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a remarkable price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent

28、 for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my d

29、oor step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of

30、August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a

31、new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from no

32、w until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Sha

33、kespeare for which I have paid. Yours faithfully, SIMON WALKER51. Simon Walker wrote the letter to _. A. ask Cosmo Books Ltd to refund him the money he paid B. urge Cosmo Books Ltd. to take away the books he had not ordered C. complain about the low quality of the books he ordered D. advise readers

A. a six book set of the plays of Moliere B. a set of 10 books of the works of Shakespeare C. a set of the plays of Schiller D. the poems of Milton53. Cosmo Books have _. A. sent bills fo

35、r books that they have not sent B. still not sent Mr. Walker the books that he ordered C. continued to send books that Mr. Walker did not orderD. made a gift to Mr. Walker of several sets of books54. The tone of the letter is that of _. A. annoyance B. respect C. bitterness D. humorBMost episodes(片段

36、) of absent-mindedness forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. “Youre supposed to remember something, but you havent encoded(編碼) it deeply.”Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention

37、to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the

38、 jacket now hanging in you wardrobe. “Your memory itself isnt failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didnt give your memory system the information it needed.”Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not re

39、member to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available,” he caution

40、s. If you want to remember to take medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table dont leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why youre there. Most likely, you we

41、re thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and youll likely remember.55. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?A. It helps us understand our memory

42、 system better.B. It enables us to recall something from our memory.C. It expands our memory capacity considerably.D. It slows down the process of losing our memory.56. One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that _.A. they are more interested in whats happening around themB.

43、they have a wider range of interestsC. they are more reliant on the environmentD. they have an unusual power of focusing their attention57. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because _.A. it will easily get lostB. its not clear enough for you to readC. its out of your sightD. it mig

44、ht get mixed up with other things58. What is the passage mainly about?A. The process of gradual memory loss.B. The impact of the environment on memory.C. The causes of absent-mindedness.D. A way of encoding and recalling.CEngineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationali

45、ty, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equi

46、pment. But thats not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts（文科）university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibili

47、ty and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who werent studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and

48、 I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didnt care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist（人文學(xué)者）all in one.Now Im

49、not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile（協(xié)調(diào)）

50、engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threat

51、en to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.59. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he _.A. intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistB. wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityC. wanted to coord

52、inate engineering with liberal-arts courses in collegeD. intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals.60. According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can _.A. balance engineering and the liberal artsB. broaden their horizons C. become noble

53、 idealistsD. receive guidance in their careers61. The word “they” in “together they threaten to confuse.” (Line 3, Para.5) refers to _A. engineering and the liberal artsB. reality and noble idealsC. flexibility and a value systemD. practicality and rationality62. The authors experience shows that he

54、 was _.A. creativeB. ambitiousC. unrealisticD. aggressiveDImagine eating everything delicious you wantwith none of the fat. That would be great, wouldnt it?New “fake fat” products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, whi

55、ch contain a compound(化合物) called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So its up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers c
