Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneOne of the most interesting experiments in electronic communicationI've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A. One of the 11 finalists at the spelling competition.B. A 13-year-old girl planning to become a star dancer.C. Champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009.D. An Indian girl enjoying playing various musical instruments.41. The second time Kavya took part in the same competition, she took the ______ place.A. thirdB. fourthC. eighthD. tenth42. Before spelling out the last word "Laodicean", Kavya ______.A. wrote it down in her handB. hesitated for a momentC. smiled at her fatherD. knew that she could win43. The father’s words show that ______.A. the family needed the prize money to support Kavya's educationB. the family were too worried to be present at the competitionC. Kavya was very good at expressing her feelingsD. Kavya had a strong sense of competitionPassage ThreeNothing says "Happy Birthday!" like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局), and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coinsin honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issuedstarting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45. Special editions of the 4 collectible coins ______.A. are made of copper and silverB. sell at a price same as their face valueC. are likely to be used for circulation in the futureD. have different metal content from the one-dollar coin46.

Abraham Lincoln’s 200th BirthdayB. Coins Issued with Metal Content in 1909C. Coins in Honor of Abraham LincolnD. Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved." When you find out you can’t have children, it’s just depressing, " Laura Valois told a Texas TV station. " But when somebody intentionally does this to you, it's 15 times worse. "48.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

2010年专转本英语考试试卷第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage .Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes , and that our Grandmas think We’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice .If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.( )1.You need to build a positive self-image when you________.A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself( )2.According to the passage, our self-images________.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions( )3.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A. Keep a different image of others.B. Make your life successful.C. Understand your ownD. Change the way you think.( )4.What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for your success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positive self-image.D. How to develop your good qualities.( )5.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.B. AdolescentsC. EducatorsD. People in general.Passage 2Questions6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as“honor”help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect .We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.( )6.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship ( )7. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to______.A.1yingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising( )8. The phrase “bringing the error t o clerk’s attention” (Para.5)means________.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item ( )9.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’11 have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.( )10.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through HonorablePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage .“Sesame Street”(芝麻街)has been called“the longest street in the world”.That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America’s exports soon after it went on the air in the New York in 1969.In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation’s pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from“Sesame Street”are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching“Sesame Street”.Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different times during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.Why has“sesame street”been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the. educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch“Sesame Street”along with their children. This is party because famous adult stars often appear on“Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.( )11.Why has“Sesame Street” been called“the longest street in the World'”?A. The program has been shown ever since1969.B. The program became one of America’s major exports soon after it appeared on TV.C. The program is now being watched in most parts of the world.D. The program is made in the longest street in New York.( )12.Some educators are critical of the program because ________.A. they don’t think it fit for children in every respect.B. it takes the children too much time to watch it.C. it causes problems between Children who have watched it and those who have notD. some parents attach too much importance to it( )13. So many children in the United States watch the program because_________.A. it uses songs, stories and jokes to give them basic knowledgeB. it is arranged for most children to watch it regularlyC. tests have shown that it is beneficial to themD. both A and B( ) 14.Mothers often watch the program along with their children because_________.A. they enjoy the program as much as their childrenB. they find their children have benefited from watching the programC. they are attracted by some famous adult stars on the showD. they can learn some educational theories from the program( )15.What is the most important reason for the success of the program according to the author?A. The creators have good educational theories in making the program.B. The young viewers find they can learn something from it.C. Famous adult stars often appear in the program.D. It gets support from the government and private businesses.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.You will have no difficulty in making contact with the Agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent’s Negotiator (房地产推销员)——as he is called——will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.He will show you the details of a whole range of properties;many of them are not really what you are looking for at a11.That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.The printed details he will give you are called“particulars”.Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent’s particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say“delightfully situated”. That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.Basically, all that you need to know about a house is:how many bedrooms it has;an indication of their size;whether the house has a garage;whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house;whether it is semi-detached or terraced(联排的).( )16.The Estate Agent’s Negotiator will _______.A. want all the details of your financial circumstancesB. want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a houseC. check your financial position with the XYZ Building SocietyD. accept any statement you make about your financial position()17.The author believes_________.A. it is better to be given information about too many properties than too fewB. you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buyC. the agent will only show you the details of properties you have in mindD. it doesn’t matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in( )18.The adjectives in Agent’s particulars are _________.A. accurateB. helpfulC. both accurate and helpfulD. safe to ignore( )19.The Trades Description Act applies ________.A. house agents onlyB. most estate agentsC. any traderD. buyers of houses( )20.The phrase“going as far as they dare”(Para.4)probably means_________.A. covering as wide an area as possibleB. selling houses as far from the estate agent's houses as possibleC. telling lies about properties if nobody is likely to find out about it .D. trying every possible means to make the description of houses sound attractivePart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)( )21.Scientists will have to________ new methods of increasing the world’s food supply in order to solve the problem of famine in some places.A. come up forB. come down withC. come down toD. come up with( )22.I’d like to rent a house, modem, comfortable and _______ in a quiet and safe neighborhood.A. all in allB. above allC. after allD. over all( )23.

It was the summer of 1966.One afternoon I was sitting at a downtown taxi stand, hoping to get an airport run. Instead, I got a call from the manager, who told me to go to a newsstand and buy a racing form. Then I was to stop and pick up a six-pack of beer, some goldfish food and a box of cigars. He directed me to deliver the goods to an address in a nearby neighbourhood.I protested, not wanting to lay out money from my own cash supply, because I was afraid I might not be able to collect the money.The manager told me this man was a regular customer. He assured me that there would be no problem with payment, and said I should get moving or bring the car back in. Since he put it that way, I got moving.The building smelled of tobacco smoke. I knocked on the door and could hear something moving across the floor.Finally the door opened, and there was a disabled man sitting on a small wood platform, looking up at me.The man was polite and very grateful for my services. When I set the racing form down on thecoffee table, I noticed an open velvet case that looked like a jewelry box. As the man rolled over and reached for some money to pay me, I glanced inside. There was a medal: a Purple Head from World War II.Guilt began to creep over me as he paid and gave me a generous tip. The man was a quiet sort of person, obviously not in need of companionship.He had long ago yielded to his condition and to the sacrifice he had made. I made that run many more times in my taxi until I moved on to another job, but I never learned his name and we never became friends despite our regular contact.U nfortunately for me, I would be more than twice the age I was back then before I learned that prejudging people makes you wrong about most things most of the time.20.

And that spells trouble for graduating college seniors, about to compete in the toughest job market in decades.Blake Taylor, a senior at Catholic University in Washington D.C., expected to be an accountant when she graduates this May. But then her fortunes changed. She had a job offer that was taken back because the company says it’s no longer hiring. “It’s hard; it’s definitely hard,” she said. “When they told me, I definitely felt like I had the air kicked out of me.”The jobless rate among college graduates has more than doubled from a year ago to 4.3 percent. Almost 2 million college graduates are unemployed and a recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers predicts that companies will hire 22 percent fewer graduating seniors than they did last year.“The previous 5 years was a sellers market for these kids,” said Ed Koc of the National Association of Colleges and Employers. “They could pretty much demand what they wanted in terms of a job and what they got from an employer. That’s no longer going to be the case.”One place recent graduates can look for work is the U.S. government. The government has postings for more than 40,000 open positions right now and expects to increase hiring employees straight from college.College senior Peter Donald expects to find a job in government departments soon. But fellow senior Bill Frame is still looking for work. He spent months trying for a job on Wall Street without success, and has now widened his search to other industries. “This is an every-morning thing for me now. I wake up and check my email and spend 20 minutes checking on the different job sites, then usually another half hour to an hour doing applications,” Frame said.“What we say to them is your first job may not be your ideal job and so be more flexible, be more open to taking positions that maybe weren’t on your radar screen originally,” said Dr. Alan Goodman, a career counselor at Catholic University.That’s a message Blake Taylor, at least, has taken to heart. “As doors close, windows open,” she said. “If you can’t go through the front, go through the back. You’ll find a way; you have to find a way.”24. The word “soaring” in Paragraph I most probably means ________.A. becoming worseB. rising rapidlyC. remaining unchangedD. improving fast25. The unemployment rate among college graduates is nearly ________.A. 4.3%B.10%C.22%D. 20%26. Compared with other places, one place graduates can look for work is ________.A. Catholic UniversityB. National AssociationC. the U.S. governmentD. Wall Street27. According to the last paragraph, what attitude does Blake Taylor hold towards job hunting?A. Reluctant.B. Indifferent.C. Curious.D. Confident.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that is quick and witty. No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. “Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game,” a German observer said. “Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it almost makes your neck hurt.”Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to “talk too much.” Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans value conciseness, or what they call “getting to the point.”Americans engage in little ritual interaction ( 礼节式的互致问候).Only a few ritual greetings are common: “How are you?” “I’m fine, thank you,” “Nice to meet you,” and “Hope to see you again.” These things are said in certain situations and are concerned with form rather than with substance. That is, similar questions are supposed to be asked and statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. To many Americans, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy” or “too polite,” unwilling to show their true natures and ideas.Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family members’ health—common among Latin Americans—considering them a waste of time.28. What is the feature of a typical conversation between Americans?A. Concise and direct.B. long but polite.C. Friendly and quick.D. Slow but witty29. By comparing a conversation between two Americans to a table tennis game, the Germanobserver means that ________.A. Americans enjoy talking as well as watching table tennis gamesB.

Now an American study has found that memory starts to fail when we are young adults. People younger than thirty usually do not know that theyare starting to forget information. But scientists from the University of Michigan say the loss of memory usually has already started.Researchers say people do not observe this slow reduction in mental ability until the loss affects their everyday activities.Denise Park is leading the new study. She directs the Center for Aging and Cognition at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. Her team has studied more than 350 men and women between the ages of twenty and ninety. The study has identified people in their middle twenties with memory problems.She says young adults do not know that they are forgetting things because their brains have more information than they need.But she says that people in their twenties and thirties are losing memory at the same rate as people in their sixties and seventies.Ms. Park says people between the ages of sixty and seventy may note the decrease in their mental abilities. They begin to observe that they are having more trouble remembering and learning new information.The study has found that older adults are more likely to remember false information as being true. For example, they remember false medical claims as being true. Younger people remember hearing the information, but they are more likely to remember that it is false.Ms. Park is now using modem imaging equipment to study what happens in the brains of people of different ages. She is studying what parts of the brain older adults use for different activities compared to younger adults. Ms. Park says mental performance is a direct result of brain activity and brain structure. She says older people should take part in activities that keep their brain active. She hopes that future studies will identify ways to improve the operation of our aging minds.32. The passage is meant to ________.A. introduce effective ways to improve memoryB. emphasize the importance of exercising the brainC. analyze the difference between different age groups in the loss of memoryD. reveal the decrease in mental ability of the young adults as well as the older adults33.

With regard to memory reduction, young adults differ from older adults in that ________.A. they lose their memory at a slower rateB. their brains can store much more informationC. they rarely realize they have memory problemsD. they are more likely to remember false information35. It can be inferred from what Denis Park says that ________.A. mental performance can be improvedB. mental ability is determined entirely by brain structureC. people of different ages use different parts of the brain for memorizingD. different parts of the brain are responsible for different mental activitiesPart III ClozeDirections:There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.
