Her words still hurt :“The trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place. Cant you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth. I had thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book ,but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime ,I got lucky. “If you come by right now ,”the receptionist said ,“the dentist will fit you in.” I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasnt he as busy as the others? In the dentists office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice cold one. When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,“Dont worry .The dentist is very good.” “How long do I have to wait for him ?”I asked impatiently. “Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork ,”the assistant said. “The artwork ?”I was puzzled. The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief! 24.Which of the following best describes the authors feeling that morning?

Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French,instead,tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmersmarkets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesityor extreme overweightamong adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%and is growing. 28.In what way are the French different from Americans accordingto Dr. Joseph Mercola? A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently. B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities. C.They regard eating as a key part of their life style. D.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food. 29.This text is mainly about the relationship between _. A.Americans and the French B.life style and obesity C.children and adults D.fast food and overweight 30.This text is mainly developed . A.by contrast B.by space C.by process D.by classification 31.Where does this text probably come from? A.A TV interview. B.A food advertisement. C.A health report. D.A book review. D As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆) According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 32.The passage begins with two questions to _. A.introduce the main topic B.show the authors altitude C.describe how to use the Internet D.explain how to store information 33.What can we learn about the first experiment? A.The Sparrows team typed the information into a computer. B.The two groups remembered the information equally well. C.The first group did not try to remember the information. D.The second group did not understand the information. 34.In transactive memory, people _. A.keep the information in mind B.change the quantity of information C.organize information like a computer D.remember how to find the information 35.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A.We are using memory differently. B.We are becoming more intelligent. C.We have poorer memories than before. D.We need a better way to access information. 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（3640涂到答题卡上） Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. _36_ Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
