A阅读下列短文，选出最佳选项。

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners,but then stopped for a while.He had forgotten her name.Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation.When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these.Most people have.But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem.Neither do they know a simple but important fact:Memory can be improved.If you’ll just accept that,the following will show you how.First,relax.If you are over worried about something,you’ll forget it.If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad,your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things.When you forget something,don’t follow up with saying like“Oh,my god!I always forget things!”Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.But relaxing isn’t enough.To improve your memory,you’ll need to take an active role.Like your body,your memory can be made strong through exercise.Look for opportunities to exercise your memory.For example,if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.If you don’t take notice of things actively,you won’t remember them.So,you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day.For example,don’t just put your keys down!If you want to find them again,make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.1.The first two paragraphs just tell us.A．Barbara was a very rich person．B．examples of memory problemsC．Mark often forgot his friends’names D．language problems of two persons 2．When you forget things,you_______.A．must be too careless B．shouldn’t take notice of the result C．must accept the fact D．shouldn’t lose heart about your memory 3．The word“opportunities”in the fifth paragraph means“_______.”A．places B．doctors.C．chances D．positions 4．According to the passage,_____can make your memory better.A．realizing your memory problems B．talking to your friendsC．doing sports every day D．making mind pictures of what you see 5．The purpose of the passage is to help you______.A．to introduce the guest B．to improve your memoryC．to remember new words D．to forget unhappy things【参考答案】1—5、BDCDBB阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A上海迪斯尼乐园( C )1.How much will they pay if three children visit Shanghai Disneyland?A．￥280. B．￥560. C．￥840.( B )2.How can you get more information about Shanghai Disneyland according to the poster(海报)?A．You can call 400­188 0000.B．You can call 400­180­0000.C．You can call 440­180­0000.BMost people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite answer.A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich inB vitamins and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change---it takes a long time to make a difference.Memory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten--digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630.This method is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals, Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.However, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.26. How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five27. Which of the following examples is the use of the skill “organization”?A. Remembering the word“sad” by putting it into the group of “feeling”.B. Remembering the meaning of the word “red” by connecting it with fire.C. Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning.D. Remembering the post number 0708591 by diving it into 070 and 8591.28. According to the passage, why should we review what we’ve learnt?A. To use it better every day.B. To understand it in a better way.C. To improve memory skills.D. To remember it for a longer time.29. The underline“it”in Paragraph 3 means__________.A. imaginationB. ImageryC. informationD. memory30. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Not everyone has a good memory.B. Memory skills are not difficult to learn.C. Memory can be improved in some ways.D. It is important to have a healthy lifestyle.参考答案26.B27.A 28.D 29.C 30.C二、完形填空I often asked my mother for help when I had 1 to do.

What do you do if you don't get into your first choice of university? That's the question that faces thousands of students in Britain every year.Many students turn to Clearing, an education agency that helps find university places for students at the last moment. If students don't have enough marks to get into their first choice of universities, Clearing tells them about places available at other universities, though they might have to study another subject.But this year has seen a record number of students who want to study in universities. This means that there's been a fiecer competition for university places than usual. Education officials say six students competed for one place. It’s said almost 190,000 students still don't have a place in a university. That's a rise of over 46,000 students from last year.Faced with these numbers, some students are going to be disappointed, others might be thinking of an interesting choice: studying abroad. The University of Nottingham, for example, is offering places in Ningbo, near Shanghai.Because of the problems with university entrance, the UK's Higher Education Minister, David Willetts, encourages students to study at home or to learn one kind of skills, such as cooking, hairdressing and so on .But some people say that rising university costs, less hope to find jobs in the future, and a drop in graduate recruitment（大学招生）mean it's the worst time to bea university student in the UK.( ) 1.
