They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact，the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.To remember words better，you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see，hear，or read something，it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many，many books. And like a library，it’s organized（有条理的）. When you putaway a book-or memory-you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary？The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better，you can invent a little story about the word，with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example，if the word is height，you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.1. In the writer’s opinion，students can’t remember words because _______.A. they have memory problemsB. they are too worriedC. they don’t use a proper wayD. they don’t like to study2. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage？A. Short-term memory is seldom used.B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.3. The underlined（划线的）part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________.A. keeps many books like a large libraryB. works like a well-organized libraryC. provides any book you wantD. leaves memory anywhere4. Which is one example of“thinking about the word in new ways in Paragraph 3？A. Making sentences with the word.B. Listening to some familiar stories.C. Talking with people that you know.D. Drawing pictures of the word on paper.5. This passage mainly tells us about ________.A. language students’ problems in studyB. how to make the meaning of words strongerC. short-term and long-term memoryD. how to improve ways to remember wordsThis is my first year attending Wilson Middle School. Last year I went to a differentmiddle school. Over the summer my father got a new job, so our whole family moved. Now I go to Wilson.I want to make some comments based on my unique perspective as someone who has attended two different middle schools. For example, I was surprised by all the complaints that the students at Wilson make about the food in the cafeteria. Either they don’t like it, or they want more choices. But I like the food. The dishes are pretty tasty. And as for choices, at the school I went to last year there were never more than two lunch options each day. Sometimes there was only one!However, I don’t want anyone to think that I have a negative opinion of the Wilson students. Actually, I have been impressed with how involved the students here are. I plan to participate in some of the special clubs here that are organized by students, like the photography club and the hiking club. At my last school, students were not as actively involved in forming clubs.6. Why is the author a student at Wilson Middle School?A Because his family recently movedB Because his father is a teacher thereC Because it is the best school in the areaD Because he just completed primary school7. In the second paragraph, the word perspective is closest in meaning to _______.A cause and effectB back and forthC out of dateD point of view8. In the second paragraph, the word “one” refers to _______.A dayB schoolC optionD cafeteria9. Why does the author like the food at Wilson Middle School?A It tastes good.B It is very healthful.C The servings are large.D Students help to make it.10. What does the author imply about the students at his previous school compared to students at Wilson Middle School?A They did better in their studies.B They planned fewer activities.C They belonged to sports clubs.D They gave him more help.Passage 3Cricket—how I detested this game when I was young! My family would spend hours and hours watching it on television while I angrily waited for it to end. Every game seemed the same. Yes, one team won and the other one lost, but it was always the same game—some men pitching a ball, some running back and forth.Then something happened. I became old enough to start playing cricket myself withthe other kids in my neighborhood. We found a place to play wherever we could put up a wicket. We played on the street, in the backyard—even on the tops of buildings, believe it or not!I can recall so clearly the sounds of the ball hitting the bat and the quick running feet. I can still feel the sun on my face as I played and the bruises and scratches from falling down. I can still see the blue sky fading to darkness behind the buildings as our games continued into the night. It became my favorite thing in the world. Now I watch it not with anger, but with fond memories of the endless days and nights spent playing the game.11. What title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A Cricket: A Game for All AgesB How I Learned to Love CricketC The Dangers of Playing CricketD Learning the Rules of a Difficult Game12 . In the first paragraph, the word detested is closest in meaning to _______.A hatedB playedC wantedD watched13.

It offers numerous physical, mental, and social benefits that contribute to an overall sense of well-being. In this essay, we will explore the importance of regular exercise and its positive impact on our lives.Firstly, regular exercise plays a vital role in improving our physical health. Engaging in physical activities such as running, swimming, or cycling helps to strengthen our muscles and bones. It also enhances cardiovascular fitness, leading to a reduced risk of heart diseases and other chronic conditions. Furthermore, exercise promotes weight management and helps to prevent obesity, a growing problem in modern society.In addition to physical health, exercise greatly contributes to our mental well-being. Engaging in exercise releases endorphins, often referred to as the "feel-good" hormones, which elevate our mood and reduce stress and anxiety. Regular exercise can also alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall cognitive function. It provides an opportunity for self-reflection and relaxation, acting as a positive outlet for coping with life's challenges.Furthermore, exercise offers a platform for social interaction, which is crucial for our overall well-being. Participating in group activities, such as team sports or fitness classes, allows us to connect with others who share similar interests. These social interactions foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. Moreover,exercise can serve as a bonding activity among friends, family members, or colleagues, leading to stronger relationships and increased social support.To conclude, regular exercise is essential for a healthy and fulfilling life. It not only improves physical health and fitness but also enhances mental well-being and fosters social connections. Incorporating exercise into our daily routines should be a priority for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. So, let's make a commitment to prioritize our health and embrace regular exercise for a happier and healthier future.。

But news about one person actually doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse."In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets (钱包) for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned."That was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot," he recalled. "Strangers suddenly seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger."But good news on the other hand, lifts us up," he stressed, citing the date of July 4, 1976, America's Bicentennial (两百年的) celebration. "On that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together."Recent tests support these conclusions. In one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. It was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition.After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news, competitive responses were over three times as high – up to 28 percent, from 9 percent."If we watch television and see a lot of blood," said Dr. Hornstein, "we're probably assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And we'll deal with the next individual we come upon as if he is part of that grim (冷酷的) picture of humanity. After the good news, it's the reverse."26. According to the findings of researchers at Columbia University, when people hear good news, they feel_____B_____.A）happier B）more kindly toward othersC）safer than they really are D）more competitive27. Dr. Harvey Hornstein found that when people hear news about one person actually doing harm to another, they tend to ___A_____.A）regard other people as worse than they really areB）treat total strangers as suspects of cruel crimesC）become hostile towards neighbors and friendsD）think about the common problems facing mankind28. What did Dr. Harvey Hornstein and his associates discover on the night of June 4, 1968? D A）Robert F. Kennedy was shot.B）Their wallets were lost.C）People in America suddenly became dishonest. D）Nobody returned the wallets they dropped.29. We can infer from the passage that on July 4, 1976, most probably ____B____.A）people drank and sang and danced B）lost wallets were returned to their ownersC）everybody wanted to be American D）even criminals were friendly to others30. The last sentence “After the good news, it’s the reverse” means _____A_______A) We probably assume the world is better than we assumed after we watch good news.B) After we watch good news on TV, we might consider the world is as good as beforeC) We might regard the world as worse than we did after we watch good newsD) After we watch good news, we will probably deal with more bloody persons31. We can conclude from the passage that ___B_______A) violence on TV leads to more violence on the streetsB) broadcasters should emphasize good news rather than bad newsC) the world is a dirtier place than we assume it to beD) people are more competitive when they are faced with challengesPassage TwoLaura walked towards the man. "It is terribly cold," she said."Colder than ever," the man said. "Now tell me what the hell you want." He stared at Laura for a few seconds, and then grinned. "Maybe you'd like to come inside and warm up.""No. No, I don't want to come in." She took a deep breath. "I just wanted to know if you're interested in selling your dog.""That worthless mutt?" The man pointed to a dog in the yard and laughed for a few seconds, then suddenly stopped. "I was just joking about the worthless part. He's a pretty good dog. Yeah, I might be interested.""Well, he's the kind of dog I'm looking for, and it doesn't look to me like you're too fond of him. Imean he's tied up outside. I don't see any food or water.""You just wait a minute. I take good care of that dog. The guy I got him from said he was a trained guard dog. Trouble is the stupid thing doesn't even bark when strangers come around. But then I guess that wouldn't matter to you. You're probably just looking for a pet, huh?""Yeah, well here's your chance to get rid of him. I'll give you twenty dollars."He snorted (哼着鼻子说). "You expect me to sell a purebred guard dog for twenty dollars? Fifty dollars. That's my price. You bring me fifty dollars, honey, and you got yourself a dog." The man smiled. "Sure you don't want to come in?"Laura shook her head. "I'll be back with the money." Breakfast forgotten, she searched for and found a cash machine four blocks away. I can't afford this, she thought as she punched the numbers into the machine. The dog will need a vet (兽医) and where am I going to get the money for that? Her fears faded (消退) as she pictured the dog, curled up, not outside on the cold, hard ground, but in front of a glowing fireplace. Blue ceramic bowls filled with food and water sat in the corner of the kitchen, and she saw him, head held high, matching her stride (大步) on their daily walk.With the money in her purse she hurried back to the man's house.32. Why did Laura walk up to the man? BA）To ask him where she could buy a pet. B）To see if she could buy his dog.C）To give him a morning greeting. D）To ask him to let her in and warm up.33. For what purpose had the man bought the dog? AA）To protect his home.B）To get rid of his loneliness.C）To breed pet dogs.D）To make money.34. When Laura left home in the morning, she was most probably going ___B_____.A）to take a walk B）to get her breakfastC）to get some cash D）to buy the man's dog35. Judging from the passage, Laura is ___B_____.A）a very rich lady B）a rather poor girlC）an animal protectionist D）a social worker36. The girl thought the man didn’t like the dog because____A_____.A) she saw the dog was tied up outside in such a cold day without water or foodB) she knew the dog didn’t bark at strangersC) she immediately knew the dog was a worthless mutt at the sight of itD) the man wanted very much to sell it.37. How come Laura’s worry about money faded? AA) The dog will lead a happy life under her good care.B) She will soon get a good job and earn money to pay the vet.C) She will have a guard dog beside her as she takes a walk.D) She’s got the money in her purse to pay for the pet she desired.Passage ThreeAlthough Thomas Jefferson did not begin the effort of designing the University of Virginia until late in his life, the education of the common man had occupied his thoughts for decades. He believed ignorance (无知) to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the weaknesses of educational institutions (机构) modeled on European settings. He imagined that an "academical village" around a tree-lined lawn would provide anideal setting in which to pursue higher education. The center of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library. When Virginia decided to set up a state university in 1818, the retired U.S. President finally was able to devote his talent, time, and energy to creating this new kind of educational institution. By the time he was finished with his design, Jefferson had invented an entirely new American setting for higher education: the college campus. In 1812, Jefferson chose to begin building his "academical village," the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, VA, far away from the city center. He intended this spot to promote learning because it was natural and unspoiled, and far from anything that could distract or harm the students. The University consists of two rows of houses, five on each side, leading to a main building. This main building, the Rotunda, became the most important part of the University, because it contained the library. By focusing his entire institution on the library, instead of around the church, Jefferson revolutionized American university architecture. Jefferson's aim was to create a new institutional form for his ideal educational system, a system he thought should give every citizen the information he needs for carrying out his daily business. This new approach to citizenship and education demanded a new type of university, one where students and professors could coexist and share ideas. He attempted to create this environment by combining the professors' houses and students' classrooms, and linking all the buildings with covered walkways so intellectual exchanges between departments could go on smoothly. Jefferson had also recognized the importance of the students' whole life, and given much thought and planning to the students' dining, living, and exercise facilities (设施).38. Jefferson devoted much of his thought to the education of the common man because he believed ___C____.A）everyone who loved freedom hated ignoranceB）a country could not be strong without educationC）an uneducated man could not gain full freedomD）European educational institutions did not suit America39. According to Jefferson, the center of a university should be ____B___.A）the church B）the libraryC）the lawn D）the classrooms40. Jefferson chose to locate the University of Virginia far away from the city center because __D___.A）land in the city center could not be found B）there was a tree-lined lawn thereC）this was a European tradition D）there was no distraction for the students41. In Jefferson's view, an ideal educational system should ___B_____.A）be one under which every citizen enjoys equal opportunityB）give everyone the information he needs for conducting his businessC）ensure that everyone has a chance to enter an institution of higher learningD）provide students with a natural and unspoiled setting for learning42. Why was the university designed by Jefferson an entirely new American setting for higher education, according to the passage? DA) Because it was far away from the city center.B) Because the main building was the library instead of the churchC) Because there was a new environment where students and professors could coexist and share ideas.D) All of the above.43. What was made easy by the revolutionized American campus? BA) Student’s learning.B) Intellectual exchange.C) Professors’ teachingD) Both students’ and professors’ life.Part III CloseWhy don’t birds get lost on their long flights? Experiments showed that birds depend 44 C the sun to guide them during daylight 45B . But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their 46 C flights.One such bird, a warbler, had 47D its lifetime in a cage and never has flown under a 48 A sky. Yet it showed a great ability to use stars for guidance. When the birds cage B49 under an artificial star-filled sky, the bird tried to fly in the same direction C50 that taken by its outdoor cousins.Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance, Stars are their principal means of navigation (导航) 51 A night.

This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fired potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.to the passage, what food do Americans like bestA. beefB. sandwichesC. hamburgerD. fries52.

You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.One of the things I always believed is that no matter how bad something is, you can 56 something valuable out of it. The 57 I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I hear older people 58 about the attack on Pearl Harbor(珍珠港) and the Kennedy’s being murdered and how greatly those events 59 them in their lives. For my 60, the tragedy（悲剧）of September11can be 61 with that of Pearl Harbor. We will be talking about the terrible effect 62 our country, and our lives as the single human being, for years to come.It wasn’t until a few weeks 63 September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem 64 now, more understanding, more friendly. Little things that seemed to be such a bother（麻烦的事）before are no longer a 65 deal. Personally, I am more patient than I was. I realize life is too short, and 66, to let myself get upset over unimportant things. Life is also too short to carry complaints（抱怨）and 67 I’ve become more forgiving and understanding. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. You know how we always say “ 68 you later”. One thing I’ve realized from September 11 is that you can’t ever say that for sure. 69 change in the blink（眨眼）of an eye. People go to 70 and don’t come back. One minute they are living and the 71 minute they are not. And, it doesn’t 72 who you are because there is nothing you can do about it. We 73 know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make 74 of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just 75.56.

大学英语期末考试题及参考答案大学英语期末考试题一、选词填空(共计30分，每小题2分)Passage 1I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential part of myself. But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when absolutely necessary. For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday mornings, although our newsagents is only 10 minutes walk away. Now I go on foot.I tell myself that Im not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. Its all a question of habit really. Im sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that I rely on the car less than I used to. Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch a bus to the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about 15 miles from town and then I would frequently drive to and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use 15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now I only need half that amount. The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They dont seem so high tome any more. Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without the ear.Questions 26--30 are based on Passage 1.26. When the price of gas doubled in this year, the author decidedA. to go everywhere without a carB. only to take the car to fetch the papersC. to use the car when he had toD. to go on foot everywhere27. In the sentence "Its all a question of habit really," the pronoun "It" refers toA. saving the gasB. keeping fitC. not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same timeD. not relying too much on the car28. To go to the newsagents to get his newspaper, the authorA. used to walk for 10 minutesB. used to drive his carC. walked down the road to the officeD. walked for 10 minutes to keep fit29. We know from the passage that the authorA. is getting used to living in the country about 15 miles from townB. used to go to and come back from town twice a day by carC. usually buys 15 gallons of oil or more in a weekD. only spends 7.5 pounds on gas now30. The last sentence of the passage suggests thatA. the author still can not get used to doing without the carB. the author feels that the high price of gas is a great problemC. it is easy to use gas at high pricesD. the price of gas is not high any more点击下页还有更多大学英语期末考试题：词汇与结构阅读下面的小对话，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。

But news about one person actuall y doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse."In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets (钱包) for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned."That was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot," he recalled. "Strangers suddenly seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger."But good news on the other hand, lifts us up," he stressed, citing the date of July 4, 1976, America's Bicentennial (两百年的) celebration. "On that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together."Recent tests support these conclusions. In one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. It was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition.After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news, competitive responses were over three times as high – up to 28 percent, from 9 percent."If we watch television and see a lot of blood," said Dr. Hornstein, "we're probably assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And we'll deal with the next individual we come upon as if he is part of that grim (冷酷的) picture of humanity. After the good news, it's the reverse."26. According to the findings of researchers at Columbia University, when people hear good news, they feel_____B_____.A）happier B）more kindly toward othersC）safer than they really are D）more competitive27. Dr. Harvey Hornstein found that when people hear news about one person actually doing harm to another, they tend to ___A_____.A）regard other people as worse than they really areB）treat total strangers as suspects of cruel crimesC）become hostile towards neighbors and friendsD）think about the common problems facing mankind28. What did Dr. Harvey Hornstein and his associates discover on the night of June 4, 1968? DA）Robert F. Kennedy was shot. B）Their wallets were lost.C）People in America suddenly became dishonest. D）Nobody returned the wallets they dropped.29. We can infer from the passage that on July 4, 1976, most probably ____B____.A）people drank and sang and danced B）lost wallets were returned to their ownersC）everybody wanted to be American D）even criminals were friendly to others30. The last sentence “After the good news, it’s the reverse” means _____A_______A) We probably assume the world is better than we assumed after we watch good news.B) After we watch good news on TV, we might consider the world is as good as beforeC) We might regard the world as worse than we did after we watch good newsD) After we watch good news, we will probably deal with more bloody persons31.

"It is terribly cold," she said."Colder than ever," the man said. "Now tell me what the hell you want." He stared at Laura for a few seconds, and then grinned. "Maybe you'd like to come inside and warm up.""No. No, I don't want to come in." She took a deep breath. "I just wanted to know if you're interested in selling your dog.""That worthless mutt?" The man pointed to a dog in the yard and laughed for a few seconds, then suddenly stopped. "I was just joking about the worthless part. He's a pretty good dog. Yeah, I might be interested.""Well, he's the kind of dog I'm looking for, and it doesn't look to me like you're too fond of him. I mean he's tied up outside. I don't see any food or water.""You just wait a minute. I take good care of that dog. The guy I got him from said he was a trained guard dog. Trouble is the stupid thing doesn't even bark when strangers come around. But then I guess that wouldn't matter to you. You're probably just looking for a pet, huh?""Yeah, well here's your chance to get rid of him. I'll give you twenty dollars."He snorted (哼着鼻子说). "You expect me to sell a purebred guard dog for twenty dollars? Fifty dollars. That's my price. You bring me fifty dollars, honey, and you got yourself a dog." The man smiled. "Sure you don't want to come in?"Laura shook her head. "I'll be back with the money." Breakfast forgotten, she searched for and found a cash machine four blocks away. I can't afford this, she thought as she punched the numbers into the machine. The dog will need a vet (兽医) and where am I going to get the money for that?

He believed ignorance (无知) to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the weaknesses of educational institutions (机构) modeled on European settings. He imagined that an "academical village" around a tree-lined lawn would provide an ideal setting in which to pursue higher education. The center of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library. When Virginia decided to set up a state university in 1818, the retired U.S. President finally was able to devote his talent, time, and energy to creating this new kind of educational institution. By the time he was finished with his design, Jefferson had invented an entirely new American setting for higher education: the college campus. In 1812, Jefferson chose to begin building his "academical village," the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, VA, far away from the city center. He intended this spot to promote learning because it was natural and unspoiled, and far from anything that could distract or harm the students. The University consists of two rows of houses, five on each side, leading to a main building. This main building, the Rotunda, became the most important part of the University, because it contained the library. By focusing his entire institution on the library, instead of around the church, Jefferson revolutionized American university architecture. Jefferson's aim was to create a new institutional form for his ideal educational system, a system he thought should give every citizen the information he needs for carrying out his daily business. This new approach to citizenship and education demanded a new type of university, one where students and professors could coexist and share ideas. He attempted to create this environment by combining the professors' houses and students' classrooms, and linking all the buildings with covered walkways so intellectual exchanges between departments could go on smoothly. Jefferson had also recognized the importance of the students' whole life, and given much thought and planning to the students' dining, living, and exercise facilities (设施).38. Jefferson devoted much of his thought to the education of the common man because he believed ___C____.A）everyone who loved freedom hated ignoranceB）a country could not be strong without educationC）an uneducated man could not gain full freedomD）European educational institutions did not suit America39. According to Jefferson, the center of a university should be ____B___.A）the church B）the libraryC）the lawn D）the classrooms40. Jefferson chose to locate the University of Virginia far away from the city center because __D___.A）land in the city center could not be found B）there was a tree-lined lawn thereC）this was a European tradition D）there was no distraction for the students41.

Why was the university designed by Jefferson an entirely new American setting for higher education, according to the passage? DA) Because it was far away from the city center.B) Because the main building was the library instead of the churchC) Because there was a new environment where students and professors could coexist and share ideas.D) All of the above.43. What was made easy by the revolutionized American campus? BA) Student’s learning.B) Intellectual exchange.C) Professors’ teachingD) Both students’ and professors’ life.Part III CloseWhy don’t birds get lost on their long flights?
