have much memory for the first year of english learning. the only thing that i still remember is reading vocabulary list. a classmate of mine who was good at english would lead the whole class to read the list. one of the new words that i learned that year was “earth”. “the earth orbits the sun，” he said in chinese. every time we came to the word “earth”， he would repeat that sentence. i was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.my family moved when i was in my second grade, and i transferred (转学) to a private school. my english class continued. luckily i could use the same series of textbooks.i stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. in junior high school, i hardly felt my english skill improved because the first english class here was still titled “good morning” and the content was still basic greetings.following was one year of high school life: a different school, the same story.then my family moved again, and i began to really use english. we came to america. i attended a couple years of high school, and now im in college. i learn to write essays and start to read books in english. i can see my progress. however, i still have a lot of space to improve. in writing, the flow between sentences isnt good and im still using basic words. in speaking, maybe because i hang out with chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.【解题导语】本文介绍了作者从小学中学到大学几个阶段，不同环境下在英语学习方面的一些经历及感悟。24in grade one, the author admired that classmate because he .acould speak two languagesbhad a very wide vocabularycoften led the whole class to readdknew about the earth and the sun解析：选d细节理解题。根据第一段的“i was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits

digital age, college students nowadays are still holding fast to traditional books. according to the national association of college stores, digital books make up just under 3% of textbook sales, although the association expects that share to grow to 10% to 15% by 2014 as more titles are made available as ebooks. however, threequarters of the students, who grew up learning from print books, say that they are unwilling to give up the ability to turn over quickly between chapters, write in the edges and highlight passages.the new technology has produced various options for students. college booksellers, which operates 636 campus bookstores nationwide, is now marketing its new software application, which allows students to read etextbooks on pcs. the company introduced the free application last summer in hopes of attracting more students to buy its electronic textbooks. “now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it，” said the companys vice president.but not every textbook is available in digital or rental format. generally, an etextbook is cheaper than a used book, though more expensive than a rental. the expense of college textbooks has become a great concern and teachers from over 40 colleges nationwide are encouraged to assign texts that are less expensive, or to offer them free online. as the buyback price drops greatly and quickly, some professors suggest that the book stores should not have the last say and there should be something for students to decide by themselves.【解题导语】本文为一篇说明文。虽然现在已经进入数字时代，但大多数大学生仍然钟爱传统纸质书籍。28college students prefer traditional books mainly because they .awant to keep the ability of reading print booksbhave the habit of turning over quickly between pagescfind it interesting to keep notes in the edges of booksdfeel more relaxed to read print materials解析：选a细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“由于从小就用纸质书籍学习，因此有四分之三的学生不愿放弃在章节间迅速翻动，在空白处写字，标注文章。”可知答案为a。29which of the following is not true according to the 2nd paragraph?acollege booksellers operates more than 600 bookstores in campus.bthe free application was introduced to increase sales of electronic textbooks.ccampus students now fancy a try of the free software application.dthe companys management still has to do more to sell the ebooks.解析：选c细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it .”可知在校学生并没有表示出对这款免费软件有所钟爱，故答案为c项。30we can learn from the passage that .asecondhand books are cheaper than rental booksball the textbooks have both the digital and rental formatscthe price totally determines the students selection of booksdthe price of buyback books is determined by book stores解析：选d推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“随着回购价的急剧下降，一些教授建议对于图书回购价书店不应该有最后的定价权，回购价应该由学生自己决定。”可见目前图书回购价格是由书店决定的。31the best title for the text would be .aaddiction to traditional booksbprint books in a digital worldcmore texts in digital formatdbook price drops sharply and quickly解析：选b标题归纳题。文章是以数字时代纸质书籍在学生中的地位为线索展开的，故本篇文章的题目为：数字世界的纸质书籍。dpeople who smoke could lose around one third of their everyday memory, researchers say.a study by a team at northumbria university has shown that smokers lose more of their memory when compared to nonsmokers. and the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as nonsmokers. the study involved more than seventy 18to25yearolds and included a tour of the universitys campus.those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as music acts listed to play at the students union and tasks completed at various pointsknown as real world memory test. smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. but those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.dr. tom heffernan, who leads northumbria universitys collaboration for drug and alcohol research group, said the findings would be useful in antismoking campaigns. he said：“given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the uk and as many 45 million in the united states, its important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive functionof which prospective memory is an excellent example.”“this is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has impact on memory. we already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knockon benefits for cognitive functions too.”the research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory, while dr. heffernan and dr. terence oneill will look into the effects of thirdhand smokingtoxins (毒素) left on curtains and furniture.【解题导语】本文是说明文。研究人员称，吸烟者会比不吸烟者多丧失约1/3的日常记忆。32what does the passage mainly talk about?asmoking
