If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過錯). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

1. The main reason for one is poor memory is that _______.

A. his father or mother may have a poor memory

B. He does not use his name or legs for some time

C. his memory is not often used

D. he can’t read or write

2. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _______.

A. you can’t use them any more      

B. they will become stronger

C. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again.

D. they will become neither stronger nor weaker

3. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.

B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice.

C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.

D. A good memory comes from more practice.

4. Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _______.

A. they have save much trouble           B. they have saved much time to remember things

C. they have to use their memories all the time  D. they can’t write everything in a little notebook

5. Which is the best title for this passage?

A. Don’t Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs      B. How To Have a Good Memory

C. Strong Arms And Good Memories         D. Learn From the People

1、C

2、C

3、C

4、C

5、B


解析:

1、推斷題。根據(jù)“When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it”可推出答案為C。

2、根據(jù)“When you start using them again they slowly become strong again”可知答案為C。

3、根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，A、B、D項(xiàng)均正確，只有C項(xiàng)錯誤，所以選擇C。

4、根據(jù)“This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things”和“so their memory is the whole time being exercised”可知答案為C。

5、本文主要講記憶力不是天生的，而是靠后天培養(yǎng)的，所以應(yīng)該選擇B。

                           The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

   Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet... We are surroundedby the word "diet" everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attractedby the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking aboutwhat diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us

psychologically and physically.

   Diet products significantly weakenus psychologically. On one level, we are not

allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the

weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods.

Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale

instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.

   On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time wehave a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that wedon't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

   The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have onus, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm ourbodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing ourbodies from having basic nutrients (營養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zerocalorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonderproducts. Diet products, may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into dietproducts are potentially dangerous.                                                                                                                                                                                          

   Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time toseriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not inthe power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist

diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using

them.

41. From Paragraph 1, we learn that__________.

  A. diet products fail to bring out people's potential

  B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products

  C. diet products are misleading people

  D. people are fed up with diet products

42. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to__________.

  A. try out a variety of diet foods

  B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.

  C. pay attention to their own eating habits

  D. watch their weight rather than their diet

43. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means________.

  A. losing weight is effortless

  B. it costs a lot to lose weight

  C. diet products bring no pain

  D. diet products are free from calories                        ,

44. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products_________.

  A. are over-consumed

  B. lack basic nutrients

  C. are short of chemicals

  D. provide too much energy

45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

  Wishing to encourage her young son to make more progress on the piano，a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated，the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall，the little boy rose and eventually found his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.

  Suddenly，the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. To her horror，the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard，innocently picking out Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star.

     At that moment, the great pianist made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a melody. Together, the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and, as it finished, they cheered.

     That's the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music. But when we put our trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life's work can be truly beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit, keep playing.

56. The mother took her son to the concert so that the boy could _______.

    A. be encouraged to be a brave man          B. become a famous pianist

    C. be inspired to achieve more              D. be a great artist

57. The reason why the boy went to the piano was that

    A. he was encouraged to explore  B. his mother forced him to have a look

    C. be was invited to by the pianist           D. he was exploring the concert hall

58. What the famous pianist did at the beginning of the concert showed ________.

    A. what a great pianist he was              B. what a skilled pianist he was

    C. what an upright man he was                D. what a strong man he was

59. What did the author really want to tell us in the last paragraph?

    A. Not being interrupted by others is important.

    B. Life needs one's own effort combined with guidance and cooperation.

    C. It is necessary for us to keep doing everything.

    D. It is important for us to get help from a famous person.
