The Need to Remember

Some people say they have no memory at all："I just can't remember a thing!" But of course we all have a memory．Our memory tells us who we are．Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past．

In fact we have different types of memory．For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places．Some people have such a strong visual memory，they can remember exactly what they have seen，for example，pages of a book，as a complete picture．

Our verbal（言语的）memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written：items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates，or a recipe．With our emotional（情感的）memory，we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings．perhaps of happiness or unhappiness．We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound，and for performing physical movements．

We have two ways of storing any of these memories．Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial．Our long-term memory, On the other hand, may store items for a lifetime．Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term．They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago，but have the clearest remembrance（记忆）of when they were very young．Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past，and that we invent the rest．It is as though we remember only the outline of a story．We then make up the details．We often do this in the way we want to remember them，usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past-or maybe victims needing sympathy（同情）．

16 V isual memory helps us recall a place we have been to．

A Right

B Wrong

C Not mentioned

17 V isual memory may be used when we read a story．

3Getting around England is pretty easy.Budget(廉价的)airlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically.Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another.Long distance express buses are called coaches.Where coaches and buses run on the same route,coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses.London’s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive.Minicabs are cheaper competitors,with freelance(个体的)drivers.But usually you need to give a call first.London’s underground is called the Tube.It’s very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.

4The UK is not famous for its food.But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods.The most famous must be fish and chips.The fish and chips are deep fried in flour.English breakfast is something you need to try.It is fried bacon,sausages,fried eggs,black pudding,fried tomatoes,fried bread and baked beans,with toast and a pot of tea.Other things like shepherd’s pie and Y orkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.

5Pubbing and clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife,especially for the young.Pubbing means going to a pub with friends,having drinks,and chatting.Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a pub,or a place of music,or a bar,or any other places to gather with friends.Clubbing can be found https://www.wendangku.net/doc/356894875.html,ually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing,such as no jeans,no sportswear,or smart clubwear,while pubbing is much more casual.

第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。

第一篇Centers of the Great European Cities

The centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition. People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night. A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting. metropolitan（大都市的）atmosphere.

Squares, plazas（广场）and arcades（拱廊）form the heart of Europe's cities.

V enice in Italy has the Piazza San Marco - a beautiful square surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes. In Barcelona, Spain, La Bosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. London's Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians, acrobats（杂技演员）and artists by night. The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive. In London, they serve as a beautiful backdrop（背景）to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames.

These vibrant（有活力的）hearts are the product of centuries of evolution, social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently. "The reason people think V enice is so great today is you don't see all the mistakes," said Garreau. "Those have all been removed." Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car, so bars, restaurants and cafes were near to people's homes. Today, the focus of many Europeans' life has moved away from the centers. They live in the suburbs and outskirts, driving to supermarkets to get their supplies. But on a continent where people treasure convention, there are still those who hold onto traditional ways, living and shopping locally. These people, together with tourists, provide the city centers with their reason for existence.

Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing. This is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists. This skill is developed over many hours spent chaffing over espressos（浓咖啡）and cigarettes.

Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere. People in Roman

Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis. Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets, cafés and bars in the surrounding streets. An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo. The huge marble cathedral in Florence, Italy is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops, and caters（迎合）not only to the tourist crowds, but also the local community.

31 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe

A has many large squares.

B has many very magnificent sky-scrapers.

C draws tourists in large numbers every yean

D has a center where tourists meet their spouses.

32 Which statement is NOT true of Covent Garden?

A It is crowded with people.

B It is located in London.

C It is filled with stalls.

D It is surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes.

33 Why do people think that V enice is so great? ；

A Because it is a famous tourist attraction.

B Because you can reach anywhere by boat.

C Because it is well-known for its merchants.

D Because all the mistakes have been removed.

34 What are Parisians famous for ?

A Their pursuit of independence.

B Their enthusiasm for conversation.

C Their ability to keep the city flourishing.

D Their devotion to developing a multiple culture.

35 The writer cites the Duomo in the last paragraph as an example to illustrate that

A there is a tight link between church and society.

B all churches are magnificent.

C old churches are very popular.

D high-rise churches are impressive.

第二篇Diabetes(糖屎病)and Eye Damage

0vet 2 million Canadians have diabetes．It is the leading cause of blindness in North Americans under 65 years of age Diabetes is a condition where the body either cannot produce enough insulin(胰岛素)or cannot respond properly to insulin．Insulin is important because it moves glucose(葡萄糖)，a simple sugar．into the body’S cells from the blood．The food people eat provides the body with glucose，which is used by the cells as a source of energy．If insulin isn’t available or doesn’t work correctly to move glucose from the blood into the cells，glucose will stay in the blood，leading to high blood sugar levels．

High blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels，including the tiny blood vessels in the eye．This leads to an eye disease known as diabetic retinopathy(糖尿病型视网膜病)．The retina (视网膜)is an area at the back of the eye that changes light into nerve signals．With diabetic retinopathy，some blood vessels in the retina are lost，and some of the other blood vessels begin to“leak'’blood This causes the retina to swell．and gradually cuts off its supply of oxygen and nutrients(滋养物)．Eventually，the retina starts to grow new blood vessels to replace the damaged ones．Unfortunately，these new vessels are not as strong as the old ones They are more likely to break，causing bleeding in the eye

At first，people with diabetic retinopathy will not notice any symptoms．As the disease gets worse，they may notice blurred(模糊的)vision，black spots or flashing lights．As time goes on，it Can progress to blindness Everyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetic retinopathy，and the risk increases the longer you’ve had diabetes

Fortunately，you can reduce your risk If you do not have diabetes，but think you may be at risk for this condition．visit your doctor to be screened for diabetes．If you d0 have diabetes：

Have frequent eye check—ups．

Make sure that you monitor your blood sugar frequently and use your medications as recommended by your doctor There is evidence to show that keeping your blood sugar under tight control can slow down eye damage

If you have high blood pressure，follow your recommended diet and medications to keep it under control．If you are not sure whether you have high blood pressure，or whether your blood pressure is under control，discuss this with your doctor

36 Glucose cannot be turned into energy in the body

A without diabetes．

B without sugar．

C without insulin

D without food．

第三篇The beginning of American literature

Ame rican has always been a land of beginnings. After Europeans “ discovered” America in the fifteenth century, the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life, an escape from poverty and persecution, a chance to start again. We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope. When, however, does American literature begin?

American literature begins with American experiences. Long before the first colonists arrived, before Christopher Columbus, before the Northmen who found America about year 1,000, Native Americans lived here. Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land. Another kind of experience, one filled with fear and excitement, found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English. In addition, the journals of the people

who lived and died in the New England wilderness' tell unforgettable tales of hard end sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.

Experience, then, is the key to early American literature. The New World provided a great variety of experiences, and experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers. These writers included John Smith, who spent only two-and-a-half year: on the American, continent. They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd，who thought of themselves as British subjects, never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own. American Indians, explorers,Puritan ministers, frontier wives, plantation owner一they are all the creators of the first American literature.

41) What does “that hope”in the first paragraph refe r to?

A)The hope that America would be discovered.

B) The hope to start a life.

C) The hope to see the mysteries of the New World.

D) The hope to find poverty here.

42. When did American literature begin?

A) Before the American natives lived there.

B) When Columbus and other explorers gent reports back home..

C) When tire Northmen found America in about 1,000.

D) Long before the year 1,000.

A) About the everyday fife of the native Americans.

B) About the arrival of Columbus

C) About the experience of the first European settlers

D) About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.

44. The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers that

A) in the early days most American writers were from Great Britain.

Avalanche and Its Safety

An avalanche is a sudden and rapid flow of snow, often mixed with air and water, down a mountainside. A valanches are ＿＿51＿＿the biggest dangers in the mountains for both life and property.

All avalanches are caused by an over-burden of material, typically snowpack, that is too massive and unstable for the slope ＿＿52＿＿supports it. Determining the critical load, the amount of over-burden which is ＿＿53＿＿to cause an avalanche, is a complex task ＿＿54＿＿the evaluation of a number of factors.

Terrain slopes flatter than 25 degrees or steeper than 60 degrees typically have a low ＿＿55＿＿of avalanche. Snow does not ＿＿56＿＿significantly on steep slopes; also, snow does not ＿＿57＿＿easily on fiat slopes. Human-triggered avalanches have the greatest incidence when the snow's angle of rest 1is ＿＿58＿＿35 and 45 degrees; the critical angle, the angle ＿

＿59＿＿which the human incidence of avalanches is greatest, is 38 degrees. The rule of thumb2 is: A slope that is flat enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski has the potential to generate an avalanche,regardless of the angle. Additionally3, avalanche risk increases with ＿＿60＿＿; that is, the more a slope is disturbed by skiers, the more likely it is that an avalanche will occur.

Due to the complexity of the subject, winter travelling in the backcountry4 is never 100% safe. Good avalanche safety is a continuous ＿＿61＿＿, including route selection and examination to the snowpack, weather ＿＿62＿＿, and human factors. Several well-known good habits can also ＿＿63＿＿the risk. If local authorities issue avalanche risk reports, they should be considered and all warnings should be paid ＿＿64＿＿to. Never follow in the tracks of others without your own evaluations; snow conditions are almost certain to have changed since they were made. Observe the terrain and note obvious avalanche paths where plants are ＿＿65＿＿or damaged. A void traveling below others who might trigger an avalanche.
