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 not only includes 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 (嗅出)something suspicious in the grain pile.memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. it is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. the instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 wordsstring of alphabetic or numerical charactersready for instant use. an average u.s. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of english. however, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.the use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. a large part of a persons memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. but while language greatly expands the number and the king of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. it may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.56. which of the following is true about memory?a. it helps us notice things happening around us every day.b. it is based on the decisions we made in the past.c. it is rooted in our past habits and skills.d. it connects our past experiences with the present.57. according to the passage, memory is helpful in ones life in the following aspects exceptthat _.a. it involves a change in ones behavior b. it keeps information for later usec. it warns people not to do things repeatedly d. it enables one to remember events that happened in the past58. what is the authors view about computers and human beings in terms of intelligence?a. computers have better memory than a child does. b. computers are as intelligent as a teenager is.c. computers can understand as many as 100,000 words. d. human beings are far superior to computers.59. what is the major characteristic of mans memory capacity according to the author?a. it can be expanded by language. b. it can remember all the combined words. c. it may keep all the information in the past. d. it may change what has been stored in it.btalking to plants makes them grow, especially if youre a woman, according to an experiment by the royal horticultural society ( rhs 皇家园艺学会). women gardeners voices speed up growth of tomato plants much more than mens, it found. in an experiment run over a month, they found that tomato plants grew up to two inches taller if they were serenaded by the sweet tones of a female rather than a male. her plant grew nearly two inches taller than the best performing male and half an inch higher than her nearest competitor. the experiment began in april, 2009 at rhs garden wisley in surrey. a variety of recorded voices was picked to play to 10 tomato plants over a month. every plant was played a voice through headphones connected to the plant pot, and the conditions for all the plants remained the same throughout the experiment. to ensure the experiment was fair, two control plants were also left to grow in silence. the results showed that women on average saw their plants rise by an inch on their male counterparts. some men were so bad that their plants actually grew less than a plant that was left completely alone. colin crosbie, the leader at rhs, said: “were not sure why the female voice is more effective. it could be that they have a greater range of pitch and tone that affects the sound waves that hit the plant. sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light.”60. what is the best title for the passage?a. plants cant grow faster without female voices. b. womens voices are more useful than mens. c. womens voices make plants grow faster. d. voices have positive effects on the growth of plants.61. the underlined word “serenaded” in paragraph 3 most probably means “_”.a. sung songs tob. spoken toc. talked aboutd. played music to62. according to the passage, ten _ were used in the experiment.a. tomato plantsb. headphonesc. tape recordersd. plant pots63. what can we know about the findings of the experiment from the passage?a. the womens voices made the plants grow faster by half an inch than the mens.b. sarah darwins plant grew 2 inches taller than her nearest competitors.c. the plants which grew in silence did not necessarily grow the slowest.d. the womens plants grew 2 inches taller than the mens on average.cit happened to me recently. i was telling someone how much i had enjoyed reading barack obamas dreams from my father and how it had changed my views of our president. a friend i was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a brilliantly（精彩地）written book”. however, he then went on to talk about mr obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. i sensed that i was talking to a book liar.and it seems that my friend is not the only one. approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. in the world book days “report on guilty secrets”, dreams from my father is at number 9. the report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as im not one to lie too often (id hate to be caught out ),ill admit here and now that i havent read the entire top ten . but i am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, i have read the book at number one, george orwells 1984. i think its really brilliant.the world book day report also has some other interesting information in it. it says that many people lie about having read jane austen, charles dickens, fyodor dostoevsky(i havent read him, but havent lied about it either )and herman melville.asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. this could be tricky if the conversation became more in depth!but when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named j. k. rowling, john grisham, sophie kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(ill come clean: i do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).64.how did the author find his friend a book liar?aby judging his manner of speaking. bby looking into his background.cby mentioning a famous name. dby discussing the book itself.65.which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the world book day report?acharles dickens is very low on the top-ten list. b42% of people pretended to have read 1984.cthe author admitted having read 9 books. ddreams from my father is hardly read.66.by lying about reading, a person hopes to.acontrol the conversation bappear knowledgeableclearn about the book dmake more friends67.what is the authors attitude to 58%of readers?afavorable. buncaring cdoubtful dfriendlydsometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. for example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, youneed large, flat, black surfaces. one way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs ofbuildings. but why go to all that trouble when cities are rub of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt(柏油) roads? ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of arian de bondt, a dutch engineer. he finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. the result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside. the heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. most of them ran from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. some, however, dive deep into the ground. when the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. at a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. the hot water from the street runs through theseexchangers, warning the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. the aquifer is thus used as a heat store.in winter, the working system is changed slightly. water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pickup the heat stored during summer. this water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. after performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.68. which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs ?a. arian de bondt got his idea from his boss. b. large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.c. the dutch engineers system has been widely used. d. heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.69. for what purpose are the diving pipes used? a. to absorb heat from the sun. b. to store heat for future use. c. to turn solar energy into heat energy. d. to carry heat down below the surface.70. from the last paragraph we can learn that _.a. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winter b. the system can do more than warming up the buildingc. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface d. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer71. what is most likely to be discussed in the paragra
