i have just returned from one. it is a quarter to five in the morning: the sun has already climbed about the horizon; the birds are busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food. but some of the guests have not yet left. they are still prolonging the night: dancing, singing, gossiping, putting off the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a days work in the fields after a sleepless night.throughout most of her life, bridget mary, the bride, has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage i have just left. twelve children have been brought up there but only two are still living at home. the eldest son, heir (继承人) to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work (they employ no farm laborers); the youngest daughter is still at school. two years ago, bridget mary went to england to take up domestic work in a hospital and it was while she was living there that she met her future husband, terry. he himself is an irishman who used to live in dublin and now has a wellpaid job in a light engineering works in england. they got engaged and started saving. now they are thinking of buying a small house near terrys factory.the wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning. another couple were being married at the same time. nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations：four luxurious cars brought bride, bridegroom, family and friends home, and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny livingroom, hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures. a big meal was given; the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or sherry(葡萄酒). and while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept, the four cars set out again, taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the countryside.21. what makes it clear that this is a country wedding? a. people are up so early. b. birds are singing. c. the peoples occupations. d. the bride is one of a large family.22. no farm laborers are employed because _. a. they are not needed b. the child can help c. there are none availabled. the family is too poor23. the young couple will not live on the farm after their marriage because _. a. there is no room for them b. they have a house in england c. they are both employed elsewhere d. its the brides brother who will inherit(继承) the farm24. why were the guests taken for a ride round the countryside? a. to give them an opportunity of seeing the surroundings. b. to get them out of the way. c. to enable the neighbours to see the married people. d. as a way of passing the time.答案与解析：21解析：a、b、d并不能体现出是农村的婚礼。第一段最后一句中“the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a days work in the fields after a sleepless night”从人们的职业“在田里劳动”可知，这是一场农村婚礼。答案：c22解析：根据第二段中“the eldest son, heir to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work (they employ no farm laborers)”可知没有雇用劳工的原因是大儿子可以帮忙。答案：b23解析：“bridget mary went to england to take up domestic work in a hospital.terry. he himself is an irishman who used to live in dublin and now has a wellpaid job in a light engineering works in england.”从文中对新婚夫妇的介绍可知他们都有自己的工作，因此结婚之后不会靠农场为生。答案：c24解析：根据短文最后一句“and while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept, the four cars set out again, taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the countryside.”可知酒席被清理，房间被打扫干净，客人们坐车主要是顺路搭便车回家。答案：bbit is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. the meanings of the thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. it includes not only “remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts ，but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (发觉) something suspicious in the grain pile. memory is also involved when a sixyearold child learns to swing a baseball bat. memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. computers, for example, contain devices for strong data for later use. it is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. the instantaccess memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “word” ready for instant use. an average us teenager probably recognises the meaning of about 100,000 words of english. however, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. consider，for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognise on sight. the use of words is the basis of the advanced problemsolving intelligence of human beings. a large part of a persons memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.25. according to the passage，memory is considered to be _. a. the basis for decision making and problem solving b. an ability to store experiences for future use c. an intelligence typically possessed by human beings d. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words26. the comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that _. a. the computers memory has a little capacity than a teenagers b. the computers memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human beings c. the computers memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenagers d. both a and b27. the whole passage implies that _. a. only human beings have problemsolving intelligence b. a persons memory is different from a computersin every respect c. animals are able to solve only very simple problems d. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence28. the topic of the passage is _ a. what would life be like without memory? b. memory is of vital importance to life c. how is a persons memory different from an animals or a computers ? d. what is contained in memory?答案与解析：25解析：从第二段第一句“memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use.”得出b是正确答案。答案：b26解析：从第三段“the instantaccess memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 wordready for instant use. an average us teenager probably recognises the meaning of about 100,000 words of english. however, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored.”看出c是正确答案。答案：c27解析：从最后一段我们可以知道，语言的使用是人解决复杂智力问题的基础，人们记忆能力的大部分是依据语言和语言的结合，但是动物没有使用语言的能力，因此动物只能解决一些简单的问题，所以正确答案是c。答案：c28解析：文章第一句“it is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory.”说明了记忆的重要性。可见b是正确答案。答案：bconline degrees today, you can earn a degree from a major university without ever having sat in one of their classrooms. many colleges and universities are offering online courses and degree programs now. online learning programswith a computer and an internet connection, you can earn a degree from home, work, or anywhere else for that matter. online degree programs follow much the same routines as traditional learning, with a few twists. there are lectures, but they wont be in person. there are assignments (作业), but you wont hand them to your instructor. in most situations, you are free to “go to class” when it fits your schedule. if you get a phone call during class, you dont have to miss anything. if you get sick, you dont have to ask for someones notes, and you just visit the lecture later.youll communicate with your instructor by email, chat room and instant messaging. your classroom will live in a special software program. contrary to popular belief, you will have close contact with other students and the instructor.evaluating the programthere are a lot of questions to ask before you make your selection, such as：how do students interact with each other?online programs can use chat rooms, instant messaging, teleconferencing, and video conferencing to communicate. the key is to find a program that has this interaction built into it and even requires it.what kind of reputation does the school have?it may seem simplea good school will have a good online program. this reputation, however, may not be as straightforward as you think. its not uncommon for a great school to have a weak program or two. so youd better look at the overall quality of the school and make a judgment.the employers viewas more and more employees get online degrees and use them in the workforce(职场) , hiring managers will begin to feel more secure about the quality of education these people have.29in which way is online education special?aif you get sick, youll miss the lecture.bthere are lectures, but you dont need to meet the lecturers.cif you get a phone call during class, you will miss something.dthere are assignments, and you must hand them to your instructor.30what is the most important part of online communication?ato use emails.bto look for a program with interaction.cto use chat rooms and instant messaging.dto use teleconferencing and video conferencing.31for whom is the passage probably written?acollege students.bhiring managers.cadult students.dhigh school students.答案与解析：文章介绍了现在流行的网上的学习课程，为了让很多成年人不要上大学就可以得到大学的学问，很多大学都设置网上课程。和传统的课程相比，网上课程更灵活，自由，互动更强。29解析：细节理解题。从第二段“there are lectures, but they wont be in person.” 可知，网上课程的特殊之处是你不必亲自参加讲座，选b项。答案：b30解析：细节理解题。从倒数第三段“the key is to find a program that has this interaction built into it and even requires it.”可知，网上交流的重要部分是找一个可以互动的课程。选b项。答案：b31解析：推理判断题。从文章最后一段“as more and more employees get online degrees and use them in the workforce”，可知这篇文章是为成年的学生写的。选c项。答案：cdi was born and raised in france into this way of life: french women dont get fat. there is a very good reason for that. among the french middle and professional classes, it is totally unacceptable for a woman to be fat. little girls, from a very young age, learn not to eat too much. it is mainly a class thing. when i read that “french women love to shop and prepare food”， i laug
