4.Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really isleaning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace (记忆痕) .” What makes up this traceis not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories.For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to dear the dark.Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three meansto find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the personmemorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a personremembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method ofrecall. Another method is called recognition. Gibe the person another grocery list. Ask him or herto choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person willbe able to recognize thins that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much aperson remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. Theperson will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The differencein the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person hasremembered.One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boringlists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and areinterested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked withreward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learn how to do something if that action gets theanimal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or theknowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that_____.

6.Passage FiveTable top magic requires no secret formula. Even the simplest meal will be received with enthusiasm if the table accessories are creative and colorful. No matter what type of dinnerware you own, you can enhance its beauty with a variety of attractive table linens.When selecting a supply of tablecloths, place mats and napkins, choose easy-care or permanentpress fabrics because these fabrics will reduce your workload when washday rolls around. Another consideration is the suitability of your linens for your dining style or the types of entertaining you do. The shape of your table will also dictate the kind of tablecloth you purchase. Circular or rounded tables look best covered with round or oval tablecloths. Square-cornered tables require squares or rectangles.Finally, your table linens should complement your dinnerware. An elegant table setting requires But sure to take all the necessary measurements before you start shopping for fabric of your choice. It could be embarrassing if your tablecloths are not long enough to cover the tables. It is equally distressing if your tablecloth is so long that your guests have to watch where they walk. Which size tablecloth would you buy for a circular table which is 30 inches high and 45 inches in diameter?

7.Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar．So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too．Right? Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page．Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day．President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we could make this happen!Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 ?．

12.Children for whom school has no point 　　Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings, or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all, because of their families' unstable lives. 　　Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all, the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly, once children go to school, we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going. 　　In Britain, the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants' and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn. 　　Parents are the subject of this campaign, too: the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school, and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets. 　　Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.[单选题] The Home Office __.

17.Passage FourAt the 1893 Columbian Exposition,a World Fair held in Chicago,chocolate-making machinerymade in Germany was displayed.It caught the eye of M.S.Hershey,who saw the potential forchocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his firstchocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War l that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U.S.Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers toprovide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases.The blocks were cut into smaller pieces and distributed to American soldiers in Europe.Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers.By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home,the American candy bar business was assured.Why?Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same.As a result,from that time on and through the 1920's,candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States,and as many as 40,000 different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston,and New York.The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar,corn syrup,and milk were easily available.Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.50.What does the underlined word "seat”in the last paragraph most probably mean?

18.During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp(流浪者)who, apparently though no fault of his own,found himself locked in a well?known chain storelate on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last?minute Christmas shoppers andthe staff were dead beat and longing to get home.Probably all the proper security checks weremade before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three?day holiday untroubled bycustomers desperate to get last?minute Christmas presents.However ridiculous that may be,our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to makethe best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use.There must also have been television sets and radios.Though it was not reported if he tookadvantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a largenumber of empty bottles beside him.He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeedtramps very commonly are.Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do thesame.He yielded himself cheerfully,and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a betterChristmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days.The judge awarded no compensation(赔偿 )to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed.They had,in hisopinion,already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and ontelevision.Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas,too.The tramp was locked in the store__________.

Passage TwoThe great advance in rocker theory 40 years ago shows that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel. However, during the decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite layman ’s question to 19 inquire which one is ―better‖. The question is meaningless. One might as well ask whether a gasoline or a diesel engine is ―better‖. It all depends on the purpose, a liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely: it can be reignited when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really at very short notice. A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. (82)However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot be stopped and reignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time,most military employ solid fuels, but manned space-flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.Solid-fuel rockets are expensive to operate because of their_______.
