ait leads to failure in college exams. bits helpful only in a limited way. cits possible to result in poor memory. dit increases students learning interest.【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。成年人常常惊叹他们能很好地记着儿时学过的东西。作者认为这是儿时过度学习的结果，是因为当我们儿时学会一样东西的时候，我们不是就此停止，而是继续练习，才使我们记忆深刻。文章用例证法说明了“过度学习”的概念。 最后作者谈到了“过度学习”的好处和“突击学习”的弊端。67. a段落大意题。根据文章第一段中的“grownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.”可知，文章讲的是成年人常常惊叹他们非常好地记着儿时学过的东西。c、d断章取义，讲得太具体，b项错误，因为那是过度学习的结果，不是儿时记忆力好。所以a正确。68. d推理判断题。根据文章的内容可知：作者采用了举例子的说明方法。比如：“practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them.”和“they the multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.”69. a推理判断题。根据文章的第四段“because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.”可知，乘法口诀仍然是儿时过度学习的结果。所以选a。70. b推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“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.”可知，突击学习只在有限的方面有帮助。所以b正确。阅读理解-b 篇when rikke dausen in denmark goes to get some milk from the fridge, she has trouble getting past the refrigerator door. but its not because of any physical obstruction. its usually because the pc monitor in her refrigerators door has informed her that a new email message has arrived. rikke and her husband are taking part in a six-month trial sponsored by a danish firm and two swedish partners. they hope to show that computers can be put to much more practical daily use than most people think. fifty families and singles were provided with a free model known as the “screenfridge” for the duration of trial. “its really very clever”, says rikke. she can call up email, news reports, sales items at the supermarket or addressed out of the endless ocean internet possibilities. “im not the type who wants to sit in front of the computer and wait 10 minutes for the modem to connect,” she says. the creators of the screenfridge aim at this type of buyer. they think the machine should attract people who have limited time to solve technical problems or surf online. the pc that is built into the door is very small. it is only two centimeters wide, and completely silent. “everything moves quickly”, as rikke admits. “well, the whole thing is really just an amusement”, she says. “but when the thing is gone after the test, it will be pain to have to go down in the basement again to download my email”. the screenfridge is due to hit the market sometime next year.51. the writer gives a description of rikke using the screenfridge in order to _.a. report rikkes daily life b. prove the value of pcc. describe modern life d. introduce the new product52.for what purpose is the screenfridge made?a. to improve the email service.b. to make refrigerators more useful.c. to help those who cannot use computers.d. to make it easier to use computers.53. how long has rikke probably been using the screenfridge?a. several months. b. more than a year. c. several years. d. several hours.54. it can be learned from what rikke says at the end of the passage that _.a. she is not satisfied with the screenfridgeb. she wishes she could continue to use the screenfridgec. she i
