A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star。remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the eeneral rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination. though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning. on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.67. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood. B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D. Stories for children are easy to remember.68.The author explains the law of overlearning by_.A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules C. making a comparison D. using examples69. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies70. What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. Its helpful only in a limited way.C. Its possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students learning interest.2.【2012全国II】(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.? A. Love. B. Politeness. C. Joy. D. Thankfulness.50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ .A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong places D. show personal habits51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others. B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience. D. Figure out what they will do next.52. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationship C. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions3.【2012天津卷】D You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.
