27、e weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says

28、that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is

29、 just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their

30、 memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.56. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _.A. you can't use them any more    B. they will become stronger C. they become weak but the

31、y slowly become strong againD. they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again57. Some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _.A. they can't write everything in a little notebook B. they have to use their memories all

34、#160;C. Strong Arms And Good Memories     D. Learn From The PeopleBAstronauts on shorter shuttle missions often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long mi

35、ssions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of hou

36、sework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.        While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before

37、a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, boo

38、ks, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some "web surfing" in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in

39、 space.        Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view

40、of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.60. What does the word "mimic" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. copy   B. find           C. change        D. lose61. Which of the following best

A. work for longer missions in space B. spend their free time in space C. observe the Earth from space D. connect with people on the Eart

43、h CMuch of the water we use comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power centers and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to 75% of all surface water supplies.Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from cold, wint

44、er weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced.Snow also is known to influence the movement of sound waves. When there is fresh snow on the ground, the surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs

45、, sound waves. However, snow can become hard and flat as it becomes older or if there have been strong winds. Then the snow's surface will help to send back sound waves. Under these conditions, sounds may seem clearer and travel farther.Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is

46、 because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. This gives them their color. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected. Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. Yet the snow does take in a little su

47、nlight. It is this light that gives snow its white appearance.Sometimes, snow or ice may appear to be blue. The blue light is the product of a long travel path through the snow or ice. In simple terms, think of snow or ice as a filter. A filter is designed to reject some substances, while permitting

48、 others to pass through. In the case of snow, all the light makes it through if the snow is only a centimeter thick. If it is a meter or more thick, however, blue light often can be seen.64. How many functions of snow are discussed in the passage? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four65. Why does snowfall

49、help to protect plants from cold? A. Because snow crystals contain heat. B. Because snow crystals have air in them. C. Because snow crystals are easy to blow away. D. Because snow crystals send out heat when melting.66. It can be inferred that _. A. hard snow is better in protecting wild animals tha

50、n fresh snow B. fresh snow is better in sending sound waves than hard snow C. fresh snow is better in taking in sound waves than hard snow D. hard snow provides less water than fresh snow67. The color of snow and ice appears white because snow crystals_. A. send back none of the sunlight B. send bac

51、k all of the sunlight C. take in most of the sunlight D. take in some of the sunlightDAs any housewives who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis ca

52、rried out his study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud

53、 noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle childr

54、en often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” say

55、s Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is nothing.”68. The writers purpose in w

56、riting the text is to _.A. show the relationship between parents and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems69. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle child

57、ren _.A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attention from the familyC. are often not allowed to come to the dinner tableD. find it hard to get along well with other children70. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. Parents should talk to each of thei

58、r children frequently.B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C. It is important to have the right food for children.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner. 第二節 根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Curiosity is an important characteristic of a genius. You cant find an intellectual giant
