But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very important part?For early men, there were dangerous all around them—bad weather, wild animals. The key to keep on living lay in man’s ability to r emember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man learned how to deal with them, he became civilized (文明). Surprisingly, scientists today understand little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours. For instance, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon in a particular hotel, it’s likely that you’ll remember your stay quite clearly.Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation (巩固). A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells (神经细胞) acting like a computer. When those changes strengthen the links (联系) in certain nerve cells, a thought becomes part of the long-term memory.36. According to the author, without the developm ent of man’s memory there wouldbe .A. no modern worldB. no recorded historyC. no animalsD. no dangers37. Scientis ts’ knowledge about the function of brain is .A. interestingB. not enoughC. greatD. encouraging38. Short-term memory can change into long-term memory on conditionthat .A. memory is goodB. it acts like a computerC. people do more exerciseD. the links in nerve cells are strengthened by certain changes39. So far the great discovery scientists have made about the function of brainis .A. the weight of brainB. two types of memoryC. 30 billion nerve cellsD. chemical and physical changes(B)A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a“blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or perso nal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service weblogs. com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.One blog that is still going st rong is called Rebecca’s Pocket.Rebecca Blood created the Website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms. Bloo d says Rebecca’s Pocket get s about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything—politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.40. The text is mainly written to .A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”B. introduce a short way of saying Web logC. tell reader’s about blogsD. tell readers how to write blogs41. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except .A. different ideasB. medical adviceC. advertisementsD. account passwords42. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A. Politicians don’t use blogs at al lB. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogsC. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls.D. Dave Winer closed his “” because of money shortage.43. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that.A. it was created by a woman.B. it is about the history of blogs.C. it provides useful information and adviceD. it has editions in at least four different languages(C)Jersey City, New Jersey, Nov.10An underworld leader Gelato and three bodyguards were gunned down on Thursday by unknown attackers after a short gun battle.Gelato and two of the bodyguards died immediately, the police said, while the third bodyguard remains in serious condition at Margaret Haig Hospital.The only eyewitness told the police the three or four gunmen were dressed in overalls and hard hats like building workers. One pulled a light machine gun out of a bag and sprayed the four with bullets, the witness said. The other gunmen fired handguns.Three of the men fell immediately, but one of the bodyguards managed to pull his handgun and returned the fire before being shot himself, the witness said.The gunmen then jumped into a black car and drove off. Police said the car was later found in Stegmen Street.Police sources said the 48-year-old Gelato was the leader of a new crime syndicate (犯罪团伙), challenging the city gangsters (暴徒) for control of the city. The city gangsters decided to get rid of him. Killers were brought in from outside the state to do the job.Police are now waiting to question the surviving bodyguard when he came back to life.Gelato had a long police record with his first arrest when he was 14 years old. He served a total of 17 years in prison for different crimes, from illegal possession of guns to armed robbery.44. Altogether, ____ were killed in the gun battle.A. three people, Gelato and two gunmenB. three people, Gelato and his two bodyguards.C. four people, Gelato and three gunmenD. four people, Gelato and his three bodyguards45. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Nobody knew exactly how many people took part in the murder.B. Many people saw the gun battle when it beganC. The gun battle lasted for quite a long timeD. The bodyguards didn’t have any reaction before they were shot down.46. The reason why they killed Gelato was that ____.A. he served so many years in prison for different crimesB. he would be arrested again by the policeC. he had killed some of the city gangstersD. he wanted to control the city against the city gangsters47. Why didn’t they take the job of murder themselves, but brought killers from otherstates?A. They were afraid of Gelato and his men.B. They didn’t have the proper opportunity.C. They didn’t want themselves to get into trouble.D. They never killed any men themselves.(D)Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to w alk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle….They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake or correct it. Let him work out with the help of other children. If it is a matter of right answer in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine (日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they do not know.48. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_____.A. listening to skilled people’s advice.B. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do49. According to the writer, teachers in school should _____ .A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out children’s mistakes whenever foundC. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge50. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are____.A. different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills51. The title of this passage could probably be_____ .A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn by ThemselvesE根据短文内容，从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

There, she made several revolutionary discoveries that made her one of the greatest field scientists of the 20th century.Born in London in 1934, the expectations for Jane were standard for the time: a marriage to a nice man, followed by a few children. Fortunately, her mother never discouraged（劝阻，使气馁）her interests: animals and the natural world. Once her mother discovered that little Jane had brought a handful of worms（幼虫）to bed; rather than screaming, she explained that her new little friends needed the soil to live, and together, they took them back to the garden.Jane was a bookworm who admired Doctor Dolittle and loved the Tarzan novels. Reading did its usual quiet but life-changing thing: Jane developed a dream to go to Africa and live among the wild animals.Jane realized her dream on July 14, 1960 when she arrived at Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study the chimps. However, for two months, the chimps escaped when they heard her coming. The only thing she saw was the back of a chimp, running away from her."The more I thought of the task I had set myself, the more discouraged I became," Jane wrote in her first book, In the Shadow of Man.Eventually, she became familiar with a male chimp and his big family. She observed them kiss, hug, pat each other on the back, shake their fingers at each other. She watched them act very human-like.One day, moving quietly through the jungle, Jane saw the male chimp sit beside a large termite mound（白蚁土堆）. He kept taking small branches from trees and putting them in the holes to fish the ants.In any case, Jane's discovery became the talk of the scientific world. Harvard's Stephen Jay Gould observed, "We must now re-think what the words 'tool'（工具）and 'man' mean or accept chimps as humans."（1）What did Jane's mother do when she found the worms on the bed?A.She studied them carefully.B.She shouted at her daughter.C.She threw them into the garden.D.She explained they liked the soil.（2）Which is the major reason that made Jane dream to work in the wild?A.Doctor Dolittle's invitation.B.Her interest in chimps.C.The reading in her childhood.D.Her mother's encouragement.（3）How did Jane feel during the first two months in Africa?A.Lonely.B.Frightened.C.Hopeless.D.Satisfied.（4）What did Stephen Jay Gould's words imply?A.Chimps should be accepted as humans.B.Jane's discovery is of great importance.C.Only human beings know how to make use of tools.D.The scientists should confirm the meaning of the words.B.The inventor of a new password,C.A supporter of the new web standard.D.A service provider of vulnerable password.（4）What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Passwords are out of date.B.How WebAuthn will work.C.A new web standard designed to replace passwords.D.Several sites and services which needn't passwords.5.Peru's Ministry of Culture says archaeologists（考古学家）have recently discovered a massive cat drawn into a hillside over 2,000 years ago. The site is near Nazca Lines, but was faded by time, which made it hard to spot.The Nazca Lines are often called "geoglyphs", a collection of huge lines and drawings made in the Nazca desert in Peru over 2,000 years ago. People in the area created hundreds of the lines. Most are simple lines or basic shapes. But about 70 of the geoglyphs are shaped like animals or people. Almost all are drawn with one unbroken line. The lines for the drawings were made by removing the top layer of reddish rocks from the desert floor, leaving a brighter-colored area underneath.Most of the lines are about 4 to 12 inches（10 to 30 centimeters）deep, and between one and six feet wide. In all, there are about 800 miles of lines. The lines and drawings are spread out over an area of 174 square miles. Some of the figures are extremely large. The "Monkey", for example, is 102 yards across and 63 yards up and down.People have come up with many different explanations since the lines were first discovered in 1927. Many people believe the lines have something to do with the position of the sun, stars, and planets. Others think the shapes were drawn so they could be seen by gods in the sky. However, it's not clear why the Nazca lines were drawn.The newly found cat was on the side of a hill that's usually used for viewing the Nazca Lines. On a hill, it was more easily eroded（侵蚀）over time than drawings on the desert floor. The cat drawing is older than most of the other drawings. Archaeologists believe it's between 2,100 and 2,200 years old. After they discovered the drawing, the archaeologists carefully cleaned and restored the lines, so that the image can be seen easily.（1）What can we know about the Nazca Lines?A.They were made in Peru about 2,000 years ago.B.They were drawn with one unbroken line.C.They are usually known as "geoglyphs".D.They are shaped like animals or people.（2）What's the possible reason for drawing the Nazca lines according to the text?A.Knowing the position of the sun and the desert.B.Making a mark in case one gets lost.C.Being able to be seen by gods.D.Being able to introduce water into the desert.（3）How is the newly found "cat" different from other huge drawings?A.It was created on a hill.B.It is first discovered.C.It was rebuilt by the archaeologists.D.It is older than the rest of huge drawings.（4）What's the best title for the text?A.The Nazca Lines Exist LongB.Unknown Mysteries in HistoryC.Extremely Large Drawn FiguresD.Massive Ancient Cat Drawing in Peru三、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计25分）6. （25分）假定你是李华，你们学校的交换生Chris今年寒假想到你的家乡做客，特发邮件向你征求意见。
