Hold your head up and look the person in the 23 , so hell know you mean it.My mother thus made the key point of a successful apology: it must be direct. You must never 24 to be doing something else. You do not look through a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 25 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your fault. You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 26 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad manners.One of the important things you should do for an effective apology is readiness to 27 the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 28 for the other person to forgive us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 29 about themselves. That, after all, is the purpose of every apology. It 30 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for ones actions encourages others to take their share of the blame.21. A. dreams B. courses C. memories D. ideas22.

Jazz 32 (invent) by American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, 33 were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to farm owners and 34 (force) to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. 35 a Negro died, 36 friends and relatives would gather and carry the body to have a ceremony 37 they buried him. There was always a band with them. On the way to the ceremony the band played slow, solemn music 38 （suit) for the situation. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Everyone was happy. Death 39 (remove) one of their members, but 40 living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of Jazz.答案：31interesting 32was invented 33who 34forced 35When 36his 37before38suitable 39had removed 40the31interesting令人有趣的32was invented. Jazz是过去被黑人发明的，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。33who引导一个定语从句，指代前面的American Negroes，or blacks，在从句中作主语。34forced与前面的“they were sold并列，省略了they were。35When引导一个时间状语从句。36his根据这句话的最后一个单词him可以得知答案。37before仪式是在埋葬死人之前举行的，所以用before。38suitable(be) suitble for固定搭配，形容词短语作后置定语，修饰前面的slow, solemn music。39had removed因为remove这个动作发生在过去动作changed, 1ifted，was happy，were glad等的前面，所以要过去完成时。40thethe十adj表类人，the living指“活着的人”。3阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。词数：335完成时间：7分钟难度：* A bad Working Memory ( 大脑的工作记忆) the brains temporary storage box - may explain, new research suggests, why one child cannot read his or her history book and another gets lost in math. As many as 10 percent of school-age children may suffer from poor working memory. British researchers said in a report last week, yet the problem is rarely identified.You can think of working memory as a pure measure of your childs potential. Many psychologists consider working memory to be the new IQ (智商), because we find that working memory is one of the most important predictors (预示物) of learning ability, said Dr. Tracey Alloway of Britains Durham University.Many children with poor working memory are considered lazy or dull. Working memory allows people to hold in their minds and deal with a few items, such as telephone numbers, over a short period of time. Alloway compares working memory to a box. For adults, the basic box size is thought to be three to five items. Its important, therefore, to put in the right things. Irrelevant (不相关的) information will clutter working memory.The question many researchers are struggling with is how to help children with this problem, which appears to be closely, related to a lack of attention.In children with learning difficulties, it becomes a huge issue, especially around middle school, when the demands on working memory really grow, said Dr. Mel Levine, co-founder of All Kinds of Minds, a nonprofit organization in North Carolina that studies learning difficulties.Memory training may help improve working memory. Alloway has a tool that allows teachers to assess (评定)the working-memory capacity of children as young as 4; it has been used in 35 schools across Britain.Levines organization trains teachers through a program called Schools Attuned, which is working with several thousand schools across the United States, Canada and Europe. While he is not sure working memory can be expanded, Levine said children can be taught ways to do better in school.41. Which of the following is a characteristic of working memory?A. It has a limited capacity.B. It is usually better in children than adults.C. It improves with use.D. It can cause a lack of attention.42. According to the new research, _.A. the importance of working memory has been long recognizedB. working memory is becoming recognized as a factor in intelligenceC. laziness can weaken working memoryD. working memory helps people remember things forever43. What does the underlined word clutter in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Change. B. Improve. C. Strengthen. D. Confuse.44. Which of the following may help improve a child s working memory?A. Expanding the brain s storage box.B. Training the memory.C. Remembering more things.D. Being reminded frequently.45. According to the passage, Dr. Mel Levine has _.A. invented tools to help improve a childs working memoryB. founded an organization to train teachers to help students with this problemC. identified the problem clearlyD. compared working memory to a box答案：本文介绍了学习障碍儿童（如数学障碍儿童）大脑的“工作记忆”容量方面的研究情况。大脑的“工作记忆”不好，会使孩子不能专心读书，百分之十的孩子有这方面的问题。很多心理学家认为应该把大脑的“工作记忆”可以看作是一种新智商，因为它可以反映人的学习能力。Alloway把大脑的“工作记忆”比作一个盒子，并认为它的容量是有限的。文章还告诉我们记忆训练可以帮助改善“工作记忆”。41. A。事实细节题。根据第三段中的“Alloway compares working memory to a box. For adults, the basic box size is thought to be three to five items.”可知人的“工作记忆”就像一个盒子，它的容量是有限的。42. B。推理判断题。根据第二段的“Many psychologists consider working memory to be the new IQ, because we find that working memory is one of the most important predictors of learning ability”可知，很多心理学家认为working memory是一种新的智商，因为研究者发现working memory是衡量一个人学习能力的最重要的指标之一，因此可以把它看作是预测孩子智力的一个重要因素。43. D。猜测词义题。根据第三段可知人的working memory是有限的，因此要去记那些重要的信息，不相关的信息只会使记忆更加混乱，所以选D。44. B。事实细节题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Memory training may help improve working memory.”可知进行记忆训练会有助于改善“工作记忆”，因此B正确。45. B。事实细节题。根据最后一段第一句 “Levines organization trains teachers through a program called Schools Attuned”可知，Levine成立一个组织，这个组织培训老师，然后让老师们帮助学生改善“工作记忆”。4.读写任务阅读下面一篇一位美国朋友希望找个中国大学生作为游伴的博客短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。I m 19-year-old, named Boobi Smith, a young college student from USA.
