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 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 like to study

C．they have memory problems

D．they don’t use a proper way

【2】Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage?

A．Short-term memory is seldom used.

B．What we see goes into long-term memory first.

C．We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.

D．We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.

【3】The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________.

A．works like a well-organized library

B．keeps many books like a large library

C．provides any book you want

D．leaves memory anywhere

【4】Which is one example of “thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3?

A．Talking with people that you know.

B．Listening to some familiar stories.

C．Making sentences with the word.

D．Drawing pictures of the word on paper.

【5】This passage mainly tells us about ________.

A．how to improve ways to remember words

B．how to make the meaning of words stronger

C．short-term and long-term memory

D．language students’ problems in study

22、Two men were staying in the same room in a hospital. One man was so sick that he could not even move his body or look around the room. The other man could move, but was also very ill.

Over time, the two men became good friends. They shared lots of things together and even talked about what they hoped to do after they got better. But there was one thing about the room that was special for both of them. The man who could move would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told him about the people walking by, the weather — anything that might interest a man who had not seen the world beyond his bed for some time.

One day, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that the man who often looked out of the window had died in his sleep. Sadly, she informed the other man that his friend had died and called for nurses to take the dead man away. The other man asked to be moved to the dead man’s bed so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurses moved him to the other bed. However, the man found that there was no window at all — just a blank wall.

The nurses explained that the dead man had been blind. He had never actually seen anything outside the window at all — but he described beautiful scenes to encourage his friend. Sometimes all we need in life is a little encouragement — even if it comes from an unlikely place.

【1】How did the man who could move encourage his roommate?

A．He shared his life experience with his roommate.

B．He took his roommate for a walk outside.

C．He described what he saw from a “window”.

D．He told jokes to make his roommate laugh.

【2】The man who couldn’t move wanted to move to the bed next to the window because _______.

A．he missed his friend very much

B．he felt more uncomfortable than before

C．the bed there was tidier than his

D．he wanted to look at the world outside

【3】Which of the following statements about the dead man is NOT true?

A．He was unable to see anything.

B．The nurse didn’t know that he was blind.

C．He helped his roommate feel better.

D．He died when he was sleeping.

24、阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第1-10小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1-10的相应位置上。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Hey! Mother's Day is coming. Have you planned anything good for your mom? If not, try one of these tips.

What's her favorite?

Most teens don't know what their mom's favorite is. You do? Then, what are you waiting for? Buy her something she likes and wrap it carefully. The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it.

Treat a queen

Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off and you can do the housework.

Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, she doesn't look good any more. Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look beautiful!

Have some of your time

Our mothers have special memories in mind. It is the time that they gave birth to their dear baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Have you ever had a good time with your mother not talking about your problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her for the life she gave to you, the time she cared for you? Maybe you can tell her how happy you are when she was there looking after you during your painful days in your life.

Tell the magic words

Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?
