Ⅱ.阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

We may all have had the embarrassing moment: Getting half－way through a story only to realize that we've told this exact tale before, to the same person. Why do we make such memory mistakes? According to research published in Psychological

Science, it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory. Researchers Nigel Gopie, of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, and Colin Macleod, of the University of Waterloo, divided memory into two kinds. The first was source memory, or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from. The second was destination memory, or the ability to recall who we have given information to. They found that source memory functions better than destination memory, in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling. B．It; that D．What; that

To study the differences between source and destination memory, the researchers did an experiment on 60 university students, according to a New

York

Times

report. The students were asked to associate(联想) 50 random(随意的) facts with the faces of 50 famous people. Half of the students “told” each fact to one of the faces, reading it aloud when the celebrity's(名人的) picture appeared on a computer screen. The other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward. When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces, the students who were giving information out (destination memory) scored about 16 percent lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information (source memory)．

The researchers

concluded

that out－going information was

less

associated

with

its environmental context(背景)－that is,

the person－than was incoming information. This makes sense given what is known about attention. A person who is giving information, even little facts, will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said. Because our attention is limited, we give less attention to the person we are giving information to. After a second experiment with another group of 40 students, the researchers concluded that self－focus is another factor that undermines destination memory. They asked half the students to continue giving out random information, while the other told things about themselves. This time around, those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving random information. “When you start telling these personal facts compared with non

－self facts,

suddenly destination memory goes down more, suggesting that it is the self－focus component(成分) that's reducing the memory，” Gopie told Live Science. 1．The point of this article is to ______. A．give advice on how to improve memory B．say what causes the memory to worsen C．explain why we repeat stories to those we've already told them to D．discuss the differences between source and destination

memory 2．What can we learn from the article? A．Source memory helps us remember who we have told the information to. B．One's limited attention is one of the reasons why those

reading aloud to the celebrity's

pictures perform worse on the

memory test. C．Silent reading is a better way to remember information than reading aloud. D．It tends to be more difficult for people to link incoming

information with its environmental context than outgoing

information. 3．The underlined word “undermines” probably means ______. A．weakens

C．explains

B．benefits D．supports 4．What did the scientists conclude from the second experiment? A．Destination memory is weaker than source memory.

B．Focusing attention on oneself leads to relatively poor source memory performance. C．Associating personal experience with information helps people memorize better. D．Self－focus is responsible for giving information twice or more to the same person. 答案及解析：

是什么在影响我们的记忆呢？记忆又有哪些类型呢？本文对其进行了具体叙述。

1．答案：C 解析

根据第一段中Why do we make such memory mistakes可知，本文下面是就此现象讲述原因。故选C项。

2．答案：B 解析

根据第三段二、三句可知A项错。C项描述的是现象，不是得出的结论，可排除。根据第七段可知D项说法错误。根据第八段可知B项正确。

3．答案：A 解析

根据第四段中source memory functions better than destination memory可知，undermines意为“低估”。即A正确。

4．答案：D 解析

根据最后一段可知，自我关注的成分会减弱记忆。答案为D。A项是第一个实验得出的结论。B项中应把source memory改成destination memory。C项在第二个实验中未提及。

Ⅲ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40－mile－zone, when a

police car came behind him with the light on. __1__ As

the policeman came to him, he said，“ Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit. I was in a rush to get home, to be with my wife and kids, you know my younger son wasn't feeling well when I left home this morning.”

The policeman said, “Well, I guess so，” and started writing something in his notebook. __2__ A few moments later, the policeman came to his window and handed him a paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man started to wonder, how much this ticket was going to be as he began to look at the paper.__3__ But something which read: “I had a daughter who was killed by a speeding car at the age of six, by a speeding driver like you. He got a fine, a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug two other daughters. __4__ I have tried to forgive that man a thousands times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now.__5__.”

The man was very surprised and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, praying for forgiveness. A．So pray for you, and be careful when you drive again, your daughter is all you have left. B．I only had one, and now I had to wait I go to heaven before I can hug her again. C．Right away the man started thinking of excuse to give. D．He was surprised it was not a ticket.

E．So pray for me, and be careful when you drive again, my son is all I have left. F．As minutes went by, he hadn't asked for his driver's license.

Dear Steve，

You asked me to write you something about my visit the British Isles. I will tell you the culture of the people of the British Isles. The culture of the British Isles in influenced by the culture of the people on the European Mainland many centuries ago. In the fifth century, people from different part of north Europe settled in England, brought their own culture and languages with them. Their languages formed the basis for English. Some of the native population moved to the inland, mountainously parts of the islands, to Ireland, Scotland and Wales, which they continued speaking their own languages. In 1066 England was conquered by the French. For the next a few hundred years the upper classes spoke French when the common people spoke English. The result of this French in－fluence was whether the English language ended up with many

French words such as table, animal and age. I will stop here, and hope me enjoy it. Best wishes，

Lee 答案：
