The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch. They might have baseball gloves, or they might use their hands.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball practice to make you get used to using a ball and glove. But any American kid will tell you its much more than that.Playing catch is a time to be with your father. Its a time when theres nothing to worry about besides catching a ball. Its a time when words move as seamlessly as the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing. Its an excuse to spend time together.Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. In the suburbs, most people have backyards not large enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those without yards play in the street.When adults are asked to talk about the good memories of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very busy. A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has his or her dads attention. There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.30 . Which means the most to play catch?ATo throw the ball back and forth.BTo catch the ball.CTo relax with your father.DTo practice baseball.31 . Which of the following is TRUE about playing catch according to Paragraph 4?APlaying catch is an American activity.BKids usually play catch with friends.CPeople need a big backyard to play catch.DPeople can hardly play catch without baseball gloves.32 . Which description mostly fits the underlined statement “For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours” ?AMothers are always too busy to play with you.BIts just a time when you can have all your fathers attention.CAll kids like playing with their dads instead of mothers.DYour father likes playing catch so that other people around wont take him away from you.33 . What is the best title for the article?AAmerican Baseball.BHow to play catch.CHappy memories at home.DMore than just a game.“Whats the name of the supermarket? I cant remember right now.” Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes? Usually, we think that older peoples memory becomes had because their brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea. “The human brain works slower in old age,” says Michael Ramscar, the teams lead scientist, “only because it has stored more information over time.” The findings are based on a series of computer tests related to learning and memory.Scientists had the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “read” a small amount of data（数据），its performance on cognitive（认知）tests was similar to that of a young adult . But if the computer took in larger amounts of data, its performance was similar to that of an older adult. Often it was slower, but not because its processing ability had dropped. Rather, increased “experience” had caused the computers database to grow, giving it more data to process-which takes more time. This is similar to how old people process information.Imagine that one person knows just two peoples birthdays and can get them right each time he or she is asked. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people , but can only match the right person to the right birthday 9 times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?“The larger the library you have in your head , the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。34 .

What does the underlined word “it” refer to?AThe data.BThe brain.CThe computer.DThe information.37 . The example in Paragraph 3 shows _.AMemorizing birthdays is easyBthe first person has a better memoryCWho has a better memory is uncertainDthe second person can memorize 10% birthdays38 . What does the text mainly tell us ?AHow computers process data.BHow to improve the memory.COld people can remember things easily.DMuch information makes the brain slower.Hannay was nervous. His enemies (敌人)were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?Hannay walked along the country for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the worker said, “I cant do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. Thats the problem!”Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.“Yes, and I would be,” he replied,”but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, Ill be in trouble.”Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea-he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.“You go off to bed,” Hannay said,”Ill do your job until the new surveyor comes.”The road worker was pleased with this idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the workers hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.Then a village boy came by.”What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied.”Hes sick.” At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay.

So what can we do to help them? Here are some suggestions: Cook from the fridgeStart with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else. Learn to read the labels“Best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces. Use the freezer(冷冻室)The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them, and store the cooked foods until youre ready to eat them. Its also the best
