etooexpensiveandthatwesimplycouldn'taffordone.然而，我媽媽告訴我它們太貴了，我們根本買不起。可知作者的的母親拒絕給他一個彈簧單高蹺是因為他們沒有足夠的錢買一個。故選B。（2）C.細節理解題。根據Iquietlywalkedouttothegarageandfoundthebox.Ihopedapogostickwouldbeinside﹣butwhenIopenedit，therewasjustanoldbroom.我悄悄地走到車庫，發現了那個盒子。我希望里面會有一個彈簧單高蹺——但當我打開它時，里面只有一把舊掃帚。可知作者在打開車庫里的箱子之前是報有希望的。故選C。（3）D.細節理解題。根據Althoughwedidn'thavemuchmoney，myparentsgavemethemostimportantgiftofall：lotsoflove.雖然我們沒有很多錢，但我的父母給了我最重要的禮物：很多愛。可知他們盡其所能地愛他們的孩子。故選D。（4）B.細節理解題。根據Althoughwedidn'thavemuchmoney，myparentsgavemethemostimportantgiftofall：lotsoflove.雖然我們沒有很多錢，但我的父母給了我最重要的禮物：很多愛。可知作者認為他從父母那里收到的最有價值的禮物是他們無條件的愛。故選B。（5）D.最佳標題題。根據However，mymothertoldmetheyweretooexpensiveandthatwesimplycouldn'taffordone.然而，我媽媽告訴我它們太貴了，我們根本買不起。Whenhecamebackin，hewascarryingabeautifulpogostick.當他回來的時候，他拿著一個漂亮的彈簧單高蹺。Althoughwedidn'thavemuchmoney，myparentsgavemethemostimportantgiftofall：lotsoflove.雖然我們沒有很多錢，但我的父母給了我最重要的禮物：很多愛。可以判斷出作者小時候家里不富裕，但圣誕節期間還是收到了自己心儀的禮物，一個彈簧單高蹺。作者永遠不會忘記父母無條件的愛所帶來的美好的圣誕記憶。故最佳標題應是充滿愛的圣誕禮物。故選D。【點評】掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀材料后的問題。弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關信息。13．（10分）"What'sthenameofthesupermarket？Ican'trememberrightnow．"Haveyoueverheardyourgrandparentsaskquestionslikethissometimes？Usually，wethinkthatolderpeople'smemorybecomeshadbecausetheirbrainsgetweak．ButnowateamofscientistsattheUniversityofTubingeninGermanyhasanewidea．"Thehumanbrainworksslowerinoldage，"saysMichaelRamscar，theteam'sleadscientist，"onlybecauseithasstoredmoreinformationovertime．"Thefindingsarebasedonaseriesofcomputertestsrelatedtolearningandmemory．Scientistshadthecomputersreadacertainamountofwordsandlearnnewthingseachday．Whenthecomputer"read"asmallamountofdata（數據），itsperformanceoncognitive（認知）testswassimilartothatofayoungadult．Butifthecomputertookinlargeramountsofdata，itsperformancewassimilartothatofanolderadult．Oftenitwasslower，butnotbecauseitsprocessingabilityhaddropped．Rather，increased"experience"hadcausedthecomputer'sdatabasetogrow，givingitmoredatatoprocess﹣whichtakesmoretime．Thisissimilartohowoldpeopleprocessinformation．Imaginethatonepersonknowsjusttwopeople'sbirthdaysandcangetthemrighteachtimeheorsheisasked．Anotherpersonknowsthebirthdaysof2，000people，butcanonlymatchtherightpersontotherightbirthday9timesoutof10．Canyousaythefirstpersonhasabettermemorythanthesecondperson？"Thelargerthelibraryyouhaveinyourhead，thelongeritusuallytakestofindaparticularword，"BenedictCarey，asciencereporterforTheNewYorkTimes，wroteinanarticleaboutthestudy．根據材料內容選擇最佳答案，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑．（1）Whyisthepoormemoryofelderlypeoplementionedatthebeginning？AA．Toleadinthediscussionofmemory．B．Todescribethewayelderlypeoplelive．C．Toexpresshisorhercareabouttheelderly．D．Todrawthepublicattentiontoelderlypeople（2）Howdidthescientistsprove（論證）thenewidea？BA．Bytellingstories．B．Bydoingexperiments．C．Bemakingsurveys．D．Bylistingothers'opinions．（3）Whatdoestheunderlinedword"it"referto？CA．Thedata．B．Thebrain．C．Thecomputer．D．Theinformation．（4）TheexampleinParagraph3showsC．A．MemorizingbirthdaysiseasyB．thefirstpersonhasabettermemoryC．WhohasabettermemoryisuncertainD．thesecondpersoncanmemorize10%birthdays（5）Whatdoesthetextmainlytellus？DA．Howcomputersprocessdata．B．Howtoimprovethememory．C．Oldpeoplecanrememberthingseasily．D．Muchinformationmakesthebrainslower．【分析】本文講述的是有關于老人記憶力的科學知識．人們通常認為，老人記憶力變壞是因為大腦變弱了，其實經過研究發現：這是因為老人大腦中存儲的信息太多，讀取變慢了．【解答】（1）A推理判斷題．根據"What'sthenameofthesupermarket？Ican'trememberrightnow．"以及Haveyoueverheardyourgrandparentsaskquestionslikethissometimes？在文章的開頭就用幾個疑問句，這是一種寫作手法，主要是為了引起讀者的注意力，讓讀者很想知道下文的內容，故選A．（2）B細節理解題．根據Thefindingsarebasedonaseriesofcomputertestsrelatedtolearningandmemory．這些發現是基于一系列與學習和記憶有關的計算機測試．以及下文的描述，可知，科學家們是通過做實驗來證明這個新想法的，故選B．（3）C詞義猜測題．根據上文Butifthecomputertookinlargeramountsofdata，itsperformancewassimilartothatofanolderadult．但是如果電腦接收了大量的數據，它的表現就和老年人差不多了．結合Oftenitwasslower，可知，此處指的是"電腦"經常會變得比較慢，所以it指代的是"電腦"，故選C．（4）C段意歸納題．根據第三段的內容Imaginethatonepersonknowsjusttwopeople'sbirthdaysandcangetthemrighteachtimeheorsheisasked．Anotherpersonknowsthebirthdaysof2，000people，butcanonlymatchtherightpersontotherightbirthday9timesoutof10．Canyousaythefirstpersonhasabettermemorythanthesecondperson？想象一下，一個人只知道兩個人的生日，而且每次都能答對．另一個人知道2000個人的生日，但10次中只有9次能將正確的人與正確的生日匹配起來．你能說第一個人的記憶力比第二個人好嗎？可知，本段的例子表明誰的記憶力更好是不確定的，故選C．（5）D主旨大意題．通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了老年人記憶力下降的原因，并不是由不好的記憶力導致的，經過研究發現：是因為老人大腦中存儲的信息太多，讀取變慢了．結合選項可知D選項"過多的信息會使大腦反應變慢．"符合題意，故選D．【點評】先通讀全文，把握中心大意后開始答題，對暫時確定不了的答案，可再次回讀文章的有關內容并對其進行分析、推敲后再確定．七、根據材料內容，從下面五個選項中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項，使短文意思通順、內容完整。14．（10分）LearningtospeakEnglishcanbedifficult，butdon'tgiveup!Withenoughpracticeandtherightresources，youcanstartspeakingEnglishconfidently.SpeakalittleEnglisheveryday.（1）BItdoesn'tmatterifyouonlyknowfiveEnglishwordsorifyou'regood.PushyourselfoutsideofyourcomfortzoneandstartspeakingEnglishtoday.You'llbeamazedathowquicklyyourlanguageskillsimprove.（2）EListencloselytohownativeEnglishspeakerspronouncecertainwordsandsoundsanddoyourbesttocopythem.Payparticularattentiontoanysoundsthatyouareunfamiliarwithorthatdonotexistinyournativetongue.Forexample，somepeoplehavedifficultlypronouncingthe"r"sound，whileotherpeo
