If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by peoples forgetfulness or absentmindedness. Stories about absentminded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absentmindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.语篇解读：如果你想有好的记忆力，就要努力训练。有时我们的记忆力会捉弄我们，甚至会造成大的麻烦。21If you want to have a good memory, you should _.Aforce yourself to remember thingsBmake a conscious effort of practice and exerciseCnever stop learningDtry hard to remember things解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知记忆是练习出来的，如果你有想记住某事的愿望，并且做有意识的努力，你就会提高你的记忆力，可知选B项。22Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AOne night the writer forgot to lock the front door.BOne night the writer forgot having locked the front door.CThe writer remembered to lock the door.DThe writer remembered unlocking the front door.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中作者的举例，上周的一个早晨他发现门没有上锁，但他清楚地记得自己头一天晚上锁上了门，由此可知头一天晚上他忘了锁门。forget to do sth.“忘记做某事”，事实就是没做；forget doing sth.表示曾做过某事，但是忘记了；remember to do sth.“记住要去做某事”，还未做；remember doing sth.“记得曾经做过某事”，的确做过；故根据句意可知选A项。23Which can be inferred from the text?AIf you improve your memory, memory cant trick you.BThe author went to the same barbershop to get a haircut.CMemory can trick people in different ways.DAbsentmindedness surely causes us trouble.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二、三段的例子表明记忆捉弄人们的方式是不同的，可知C项正确；根据第一段最后一句可证明A项错误；第三段不能推断出是同一家理发店；根据最后两句可知心不在焉有时是可以带来趣味，有时却带来烦恼，可知D项错误。24Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?AThe Key to a Good MemoryB“Tricks” of MemoryCThe Dangers of ForgetfulnessDThe Dangers of Absentmindedness解析：选B标题归纳题。根据文中记忆捉弄人的例子以及最后一句中“tricks of our memory can cause us great trouble”可知本文主要讲的是“Tricks” of Memory。BThe discovery of a dwarfed (矮个的) “human being” who lived in Flores, Indonesia (印度尼西亚), up to 18,000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family. This “Flores Human” was three feet tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp (黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seemed to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried the dead with ceremony.It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils (化石) from our own species, Homo sapiens (智人), and the oldest of them were made 94,000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40,000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. If this_tiny_human made the tools, then the inside structure (结构) of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimps, despite being just a third the size of ours.This “new human” was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus (直立人). When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping even improving mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.Has the “Flores Human” even shown the ability of language? “I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication.” says Wills. Did “Flores Human” possess the basic components of human culture，such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Bruner of the Institute points out that Indonesias hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18,000yearold bones of the most complete Flores woman were well preserved because she was buried with special care.25According to the passage, “Flores Human” _.Alived a partly human lifeBwas a branch of Homo sapiensCused tools before Homo sapiens arrivedDhad a brain as a common chimps解析：选C细节理解题。由第二段的“It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools . be responsible for the tools.”推出C项正确。26The underlined part “this tiny human” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.Aa chimpBFlores HumanCHomo sapiens DHomo erectus解析：选B词语猜测题。结合第一段的“a dwarfed human being . This Flores Human.”可看出，this tiny human意指“Flores Human”。27This passage mainly talks about _.Athe tools made by “Flores Human”Bthe language used by “Flores Human”Cthe evolution of “Flores Human”Dthe major surprising findings about “Flores Human”解析：选D主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了关于“Flores Human”的主要发现。A、B、C项均为D项的一个方面。28According to the passage, it is believed that “Flores Human” _.Awas dwarfed by its enemiesBcould use languageCleft a lot of fossils in hot and wet environmentDreached Flores 40,000 years ago解析：选B推理判断题。由文章最后一段“I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication.”看出，没有高级交流很难做到上述行为，说明“Flores Human”能够使用语言。CIt is a live celebration of the lasting power of letter writing!Letters Live, which started in December 2013, was held at the Freemasons Hall in London from March 10 to 15. The show invited various great performers who read remarkable letters that had been written around the world over the centuries.“Bringing letters alive through outstanding performances is one of the most powerful ways in which the joy and pain and humor and tragedy of being human can be shared，” Jamie Byng, managing director of Canongate Books publishing firm, told the Nowness video channel.British actor Benedict Cumberbatch agreed. “Letters are windows into the love, beauty, pain and humor of their creators and receivers，” he told The Guardian. “Letters Live makes us stop and imagine the lives behind the letters read and where they came from. Its a privilege to read this most ancient of communications live to an audience.” This year, the movie Sherlock star treated the audience by playing the part of a 17year Tom Hanks. He put on the young actors voice when he read his letter to the Hollywood director George Roy Hill, a letter that urged Hill to “discover” him. The letter revealed that twotime Oscar winner Hanks teenage dream was not to “be a bigtime Hollywood superstar” but to one day own a Porsche car and call his favorite US actor Robert Redford his nickname “Bob”Other famous faces at the event included Carey Mulligan, who played a fictional laundry worker, a female activist fighting for womens rights in the 2015 movie Suffragette. The British actress once again played the role of a suffragette, when she read a very enthusiastic letter demanding the vote for women. The suffragette sent a precious 1913 note to The Daily Telegraph newspaper.“Everyone seems to agree upon the necessity of putting a stop to Suffragist anger, but no one seems certain how to do so，” Mulligan read out. “There are two, and only two, ways in which this can be done. Both will be effectual. One, kill every woman in the UK. Two, give women the vote.”语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。随着通讯科技的发展，写信这种联系方式已经在人们的生活中逐渐淡去，但是信件包涵强大的寓意和情感。作者希望通过这次庆祝活动来激活人们对写信的认识。29What was Cumberbatchs attitude towards Jamie Byngs opinion?ADoubtful. BPositive.COptimistic. DCautious.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句及第四段内容可推知，Benedict Cumberbatch对Jamie Byng的观点持支持态度。B项意为“积极的”，符合题意。30Which of the following was a dream of Tom Hanks as a child?ATo become an actor.BTo call himself “Bob”CTo win Oscar Awards.DTo have a famous car.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句可知，Tom Hanks年少时的梦想之一是拥有一辆名车。故D项符合题意。31A “suffragette” is a woman who _.Asends a valuable note to newspaperBreads out a letter to the audienceCadvocates womens right to voteDplays a famous role in a movie解析：选C推理判断题。根据第六段第一句可推知，“suffragette”是指提倡妇女参政论的人，故C项符合题意。32What can be a suitable title for the text?AFamous People GatheringBLetters of Great PerformersCLetters Brought to LifeDRights Given to Women解析：选C标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文讲述作者支持“写信”这种联系方式，并介绍在这次庆祝活动中很多名人都把以前的信件念给听众听。C项“把信件带到生活中”适合做本文标题。故C项符合题意。DScientists in Argentina have created the worlds first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk.Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.As an adult, the cloned cow “will produce milk that is similar to that of humans”， which will prove “a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants (婴儿)”， said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk，” said the statement.In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants，” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”语篇解读：阿根廷国家农业综合科技研究所的科学家们日前宣布，他们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。33What is the passage mainly about?AThe importance of genetic engineering.BWays to improve mothers milk.CA cloned cow to produce humanlike milk.DAdvanced agricultural technology in Argentina.解析：选C主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，阿根廷的科学家们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。故选C项。34Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?Ahave more varieties thanBbe more similar toChave more nutrition thanDbe more different from解析：选B词义猜测题。根据第四段的第二句可知，阿根廷的研究组称中国研究组仅放入了一个人类基因，而他们的研究包含了两个，这意味着产出的牛奶将和人奶更相似。故选B项。35What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchners statements?AShe was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.BShe considered it an honor to name the special cow.CShe felt it improper to be named after the cow.DShe refused to give a name to the cow
