25、Memory is the brain’s ability to remember the past. It falls into three types: sensory, short term and long term（感觉记忆、短期记忆和长期记忆）. When you look at a page of a magazine, close your eyes and try to remember what it looks like. Your ability to remember what this page looks like is an example of your sensory memory. Sensory memory takes information from the environment, through human senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Sensory memory can take a lot of information, but information is only stored for a very short time, from 0. 5 to 4 seconds.

Can you remember the last thing you did before reading this passage? That’s your short-term memory. Its lasting time is about 5 to 10 seconds unless you actively try to remember information by repeating it. So the less important things may decay over time while more important things can end up in the long-term memory. Long-term memory is where you hold all your memories. One goal of learning is to get information into long-term memory, so you can use it later.

Your senses are receiving information all the time. Electrical and chemical signals（电信号和化学信号）travel from your eyes, ears, nose, touch and taste senses and the brain（大脑）then tries to understand these signals. In this way, you are going through the experience of remembering things.

【1】How does the writer explain sensory memory?

A．By listing numbers.

B．By asking questions.

C．By giving examples.

D．By making comparison.

【2】What does the underlined word “decay” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．come in

B．go away

C．come out

D．go back

【3】To remember the new words better, we can ________.

A．look them up in the dictionary

B．ask your teacher about them

C．write them down on paper

D．try to use them more

【4】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．How we can remember things.

B．How our senses store things.

C．How electrical and chemical signals work.

D．How our brain makes sense of the signals.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Our memory.

B．Chemical signals.

C．Five senses.

D．Our brain.

26、I hid the longest black bag in the garage(车库) two days ago. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.

It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.

First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 p.m. was not early. As usual, I read them a bedtime story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.

Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I carried the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.

It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw(锯).

After working hard, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 a.m. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year.

【1】Why did the man feel nervous?

A. He left the party too late.

B. He was afraid of the darkness.

C. He didn’t know where the black bag was.

D. He worried that others would discover his secret.

【2】In what order did the man do the following?

a. Read the kids a story.

b. Had a shower.

c. Worked in the moon night.

d. Carried the bag out from the garage.

e. Went to a party.

A. c-d-a-b-c  B. e-a-d-c-b

C. a-b-d-e-c  D. a-e-d-c-b

【3】How would the children feel when they saw the man’s work?

A. Sad B. Excited  C. Tired D. Angry

27、   Can you understand the following words? “Long time no see.” “Good good study, day day up.” “I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.”

Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.

Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products.

However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within (在……之内) five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners.” a Beijinger said.

However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.

【1】What is Chinglish according to the passage?

A.The English words easy to pronounce.

B.The Chinese words difficult to translate.

C.The English words with Chinese grammar.

【2】What does “people mountain, people sea” mean most probably?

A.There are many people. B.Humans are powerful. C.All the people are running.

【3】What does Tom think about Chinglish?

A.It shows Chinese are popular.

B.It is hated by all foreign tourists.

C.It is also a part of Chinese culture.

【4】The last paragraph but one(倒数第二段)tells us that Beijing will ________.

A.put English words into Chinese B.change English and Chinese   C.correct Chinglish in future

【5】Some people, who love Chinglish, think that it is time for English to borrow something from ________.

A.French B.Chinese C.Spanish D.German

28、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。

The New Year

One New-year morning, Edward’s father gave him two dollars. He left the house happily. He wanted to buy some books. On the street, he saw a poor family, the father, mother and three children. 【1】, and they were shivering(颤抖).

“Happy New Year!” Edward said to the man. 【2】. He couldn’t understand English. But he pointed to his mouth. It seemed he was saying, “We have nothing to eat.”

Edward understood. 【3】, and he gave one dollar to the man, and the other to his wife.

Their eyes were full of gratitude(感激)! They said something in their language. It probably meant, “Thanks a lot.”

When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought.

“【4】 ,” said Edward, “I gave my money to some poor people. They seemed to be very hungry. I can buy my books until next New Year.”

“My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are some books. 【5】. I saw you give the money to the poor family. Be ready to help the poor and every year will be a happy New Year to you.”

However, things did not turn out as I ________ — I didn’t get the scholarship. The fact was that I tried, but I ________.
