21、Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short term and long term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized(有条理的). When you put away a book—or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is “height”, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
【1】In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________.
A.they are too worried
B.they don’t use a proper way
C.they have memory problems
D.they don’t like to study
【2】The underlined words “long-term” means ________ in Chinese.
A.长的学期
B.长期的
C.长的术语
D.长的条款
【3】The long-term memory ________.
A.lasts for only a few seconds
B.is like a very big lake with lots of fishes
C.is like a very big library with many, many books
D.is bad for students’ study
【4】According to the passage, you can memorize vocabulary by ________.
A.reading as often as possible
B.writing emails to the people you know
C.taking many photos about them
D.making pictures in your mind with the words
【5】This passage mainly tells us about ________.
A.how to improve ways to remember words
B.language students’ problems in study
C.short term and long term memory
D.how to make the meaning of words stronger
22、 Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano- without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. A man ties tree vines (藤) to his legs. He then jumps headfirst from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives ( men only) still take part in this amazing activity.
【1】What does the underlined word “those” mean?
A.People.
B.Animals.
C.Activities.
D.Islands.
【2】According to the passage, Mount Yasur ________.
A.is no longer active
B.is on Pentecost Island
C.erupts almost every day
D.rises 800 meters into the sky
【3】Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?
A.Because people can climb it easily.
B.Because people can make money.
C.Because people can watch snow on it.
D.Because people can surf the volcano.
【4】Which of the following about land diving is TRUE?
A.It is not dangerous at all.
B.It was first called “bungee jumping” .
C.It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.
D.It came to Vanuatu from another country.
【5】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To tell people not to do dangerous sports.
B.To explain what volcano surfing and land diving are.
C.To talk about the world’s best volcano surfer and land diver.
D.To compare activities in Vanuatu with sports in New Zealand.

24、Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now he might get on the Internet and write them in his blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. Then, what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary. Anyone can read what you write in your blog. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as a secret. If you are not satisfied with a friend and write something bad about him in your diary, he will never know it. However, if you do this on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.
A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs. They know that their friends will read what they write. If you feel sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort you and offer their help. Blogs help people know what their friends are doing.
Though it's a good way to write blogs about everyday life, I still prefer my old diary.
【1】Now when a teenager has some problems in his life, he might________.
A.talk to his friends
B.keep them in his diary
C.write them in his blog

【2】________ is NOT mentioned in the passage.
A.Chatting on QQ
B.Getting on the Internet
C.Writing blogs
D.The difference between a diary and a blog

A.责怪
B.安慰
C.嘲笑
D.贬低
【4】From the passage we know that ________.
A.the writer thinks a blog is more helpful than a diary
B.the writer thinks a blog and a diary are the same
C.the writer likes a diary better than a blog
D.the writer likes a blog better than a diary
