Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master (掌握) the rules (规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”“I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit (精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does. ( ) 26. From the passage we know that _when we are learning English. A. we shouldnt put every word into our own languageB. we should look up every word in the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own languageD. we must read word by word( ) 27. The writer thinks it is _ in learning English.

A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the wordsB. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaningD. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different( ) 29. “She only likes apples.” _. A. is the same as “Only she likes apples.” B. is different from “Only she likes apples.” C. means “She likes fruit except apples.”D. means “She doesnt like apples.”( ) 30. Which is the best title (标题) for this passage? A. Different Orders, Different Meanings B. How to Speak English C. How to Put English into Our Own Language D. How to Learn EnglishB Actually, at the time they seemed to be ordinary events, but now everything seems different. I had spent 10 years away from the place where I was born. Even though I made the decision to leave my country by myself, I miss a lot of things now. The person that brought me the happiest memories is my best friend. She is the greatest person in the world, and I am not exaggerating(吹嘘). She is kind, funny, polite, and always willing to listen, and has been a great friend. I always recall (回想) events from our childhood. I think about the school where we met in the first grade and went to until the 5th grade. I think about the talks we had and the things we did together. If someone wants me to describe our friendship, Id say we have been close friends for 17 years and we never got angry with each other. Its amazing, isnt it? I havent been able to do that with anybody else. Sometimes I even feel guilty. I miss her more than my own brothers and sisters. And of course besides those memories, my kids are number one in my life. I have plenty of beautiful memories with them, especially when they were born, which also turned out to be a sad moment for both of them because they were premature babies(早产儿). Anyone who has had an experience with a premature baby can figure it out what I mean. ( ) 31.

You take a test and you cant remember half the answers. You see the new kid who just joined your class, and you cant remember his name. Some days later, it seems that your brain is taking a holiday you cant re-member anything! Here are some activities to test your memory, and some ways that can help you remember things better.Think about how you tried to remember the objects in a memory game. Some people try to remember them just by repeating them over and over, like this: comb, book, can of beans, and so on. If you tried that, you were using what scientists called short-term memory.When you look up a telephone number and repeat it over and over until you dial it, youre using your working memory. Your short-term memory is great for jobs like remembering a phone number for a few minutes.But five minutes later, after you make the phone call using this method, you probably wont be able to remember the number. Your short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a relatively short time. Repeating a list of things over and over enables you to remember some of the items on the list for a little while. But its hard to store twenty different things in your short-term memory and remember them long enough to write them down.One way to remember more things for a longer time is to use what scientists called long-term memory. Long-term memory lets you connect new information to memories that you have already had, and that helps you re-member the new information. It can help you move that list of objects out of your short-term memory and into your long-term memory. (Long-term memory is just what it sounds like: memory that lasts for a long time days or months or even years.)41. How many kinds of memories did the writer mention?42. What kind of memory does a interpreter(口译员) use when he is translating?_43. Whats the disadvantage of short-term memory?_44. What does long-term memory mean?_45. Please write down the sentence expressing the main idea of the passage._ B“Memorize these words.” “Learn this spelling rule.” “Dont forget the exam tomorrow.” You remember things every day, but how do you do it? You find a telephone number in the phone book, dial it and then forget it. This is your short-term memory. It lasts less than 30 seconds. However, you dont look in the phone book for your best friends number. You know it. This is long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that you remember.Why do you forget something? What is the reason? You did not learn it in the beginning. This is the main reason for forgetting. But you can remember better. Here are some ideas. 1. Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. Practice the information. Spend time on it.2. Be sure that you understand the information. It is difficult to memorize something you dont understand.3. Do only one thing at a time. Study in a quiet place. You cannot listen to music and memorize at the same time.4. Try to connect the new information with something you already know. 5. Divide the information into parts. Do not have more than seven parts. Learn one part and stop for a few minutes. Dont try to learn all the parts at the same time.6 Make a picture in your mind. For example, when you learn the word SOFA, make a picture in your mind of this furniture. Remember what it looks like.7. Try to relax when you study. Enjoy it. You cannot remember things when you are tried or unhappy. Some people have a photographic(摄影般的) memory. They see everything like a picture. In this way, they can remember many things. Would you like to have a photographic memory?46. Why do we forget things?_ 47. How should you do if you want to become your short-term memory into long-term memory?_48. How long can short-term last?_49. Can you listen to music when you want to remember something?_50. What does the passage talk about?_五综合阅读（20分）（共10小题，每小题2分；满分20分）A阅读短文，然后按要求完成第 5155小题。Memory is very important.
