25、   Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers, a chimp(猩猩) or a teenager?The teenager? Think again.Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory.

Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed.Our memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world

Scientists say that there are different types of memory.There is short-term memory and long-term memory.Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes.For example, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items(物件)in a store.Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because it's meaningful to you.(an example is data about family and friends).And then there is visual (视觉的) memory and sound memory.But these are not hard and fast: scientists argue a lot about the nature of memory.

Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways.Some memorize better with the help of pictures.Others are helped more by sounds.One thing s for sure.If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember a lot So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time, listen to recordings of the same group of words.This may help when it comes to memorizing it.

Imagination and association can be useful, too.By imagination, scientists mean to picture a word in your mind.Association means relating the word to something you have already known.

26、F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.

His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary “My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”

This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial（财政的） security(安全，保障). Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.

However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol（酒精）. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.

c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.

d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.

f. He joined the army and met Zelda.

A. f-c-e-a-b-d B. b-e-a-f-c-d

A. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama

B. was well educated and well off before he served in the army

C. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down

27、   They hang from trees. They float in rivers and oceans. They are piled up in landfills(垃圾填埋场). Our frequent use of plastic products has, for many years, been a leading cause of serious environmental problems in the world. Last month, China drew up new guidelines(指导方针) aiming to bring plastic pollution under control across the country in five years’ time.

According to the new guidelines, the ban(禁令) on the use of non-biodegradable(不可生物降解的) plastic bags will have been applied to cities including Beijing and Shanghai by the end of this year. Other sources of plastic garbage will have been banned in these cities by the end of 2022. And that rule will have extended nationwide by late 2025.

Fortunately, China will not start from zero. Late last year, the country announced a national standard for biodegradable plastic shopping bags. It is technologically prepared for their production. Some regions have gained valuable experience that others can learn from. For example, Jilin province is leading the way by providing eco-friendly(环保的) shopping bags in some local supermarkets.

Given the size of China’s consumer market, one main obstacle(障碍) is the large number of plastic items that are being used by restaurants and e-commerce(电子商务) platforms. It’s estimated that nearly 25 billion plastic bags were used for deliveries in 2018. Most of them were rarely reused.

However, most Chinese people welcomed the government’s effort to reduce the use of plastics. “Beijing is thinking about the problem seriously,” said Tang Damin, a member of Greenpeace East Asia in Beijing. He added that the policy could be far more effective(有效) by using incentives(激励) such as a deposit(押金) return program on plastic products.

【1】What does the writer want to tell us?

A.China has invented biodegradable plastic shopping bags.

B.Plastic pollution becomes more and more serious in China.

C.Greenpeace East Asia in Beijing worries about the plastic pollution.

D.China has drawn up new guidelines to reduce plastic pollution in five years.

【2】According to the time line of the new guidelines, .

A.the rules will have extended nationwide by late 2025

B.plastic garbage will have been banned in Shanghai by the end of 2020

C.plastic bags won’t be allowed to be used in Beijing by the end of 2022

D.a deposit return program on plastic products will be put into practicing in 2023

【3】What is the biggest challenge to follow the guidelines?

A.Most Chinese people aren’t used to using paper bags.

B.It’s hard to make effective policy to solve the problem.

C.Many supermarkets are still providing customers with plastic bags.

D.Restaurants and e-commerce platforms need large number of plastic items.

【4】What does Tang Damin think of the new policy?

A.The new guidelines are not much useful.

B.People should be encouraged to follow the policy.

C.The new policy can help a lot to develop Greenpeace.

D.Beijing is thinking about the plastic pollution seriously.

【5】After reading the passage, we can infer that .

A.people will order more take-out food

B.plastic bags will be widely reused in the world

C.biodegradable plastic shopping bags will become popular

D.there will be more people using paper products in the future

28、   Hundreds of thousands of people often see their faces on the TV screen. They may be speaking “live” from the scene of an earthquake or interviewing a famous person. They look confident as they present stories or give regular updates on an important news event. They are TV reporters.

To many of us, TV reporters seem to have an e【1】 job. After all, they will be among the first to know about major local and world events and they often get to watch these events happen right before their eyes. They e【2】 have many opportunities to meet well-known people and top leaders.

Actually, reporters not only have to put in a lot of hard work, they must also develop different skills and have the right personality for the job.

TV reporters must tell an interesting story so that people will want to watch and pay attention to it. To get the news to their viewers as quickly as possible, TV reporters have to work long and irregular hours. They often work nights, weekends, and h【3】—when people in most other jobs are taking their days off. Reporters must always be ready to get to work right away. During sudden news event, TV reporters may have to put down some notes and start reporting i【4】. In such a situation, they may not have the time to get back to the TV station and write down their story. Sometimes, a reporter has to c【5】 a news story that he has been working on because another news story may seem more important.

When TV reporters study for their job, they have to learn to write news stories that go with the video the cameraman has shot. Writing for TV is very different from writing an o【6】 report.

In order to attract their viewers, they must learn to dress professionally and smartly. TV reporters must speak clearly and appear relaxed. They must learn to look into the camera and smile. Besides, a TV reporter’s v【7】 is key to his or her success on the job. When training for the job, students learn to speak at the right volume to deliver their news story in such a way as to keep their viewers interested.
