By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020, one fifth of the country's 150, 000km railway network will be used by high－ speed trains.

25、   Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding—most of us go to school by bus or by subway. But whenever we get on a bicycle, it's like we've never stopped biking.

This is strange. In many other cases, our memories let us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, don't we? So why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding a long time ago?

It turns out that there are many types of memory. They are stored in different regions of our brains. Memories of experiences (e. g, our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e. g. , the capital of France) are called declarative (陈述的) memories. These memories can be communicated to others. Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike: are called procedural (程序的) memories. These memories are responsible for our performance.

Scientists have done many experiments on different memory types. Perhaps the most famous of them was carried out on Henry Gustav Molaison, an epileptic (癫痫患者). In an operation in the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, the man suffered less— from epilepsy. But there was a new problem—he couldn't remember things!

What went wrong with Molaison's memory system? Through various tests, scientists found he could learn new skills (slowly, though). However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. In other words, Molaison could develop new procedural, but not declarative memories.

Scientists have concluded that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last much longer. However, they haven't yet found out why. Some say procedural memories are more lasting because they are stored in the brain's center.

Now, "just like riding a bicycle" has been used as an idiom (习语). Can you guess its meaning? Yes, people use it to describe a skill that, once learned, is never forgotten.

【1】The author mentions our difficulty in remembering the name of a person or a place mainly to show that ________.

A.our memories often fail us

B.there are many types of memory

C.it's hard to forget how to ride a bicycle

D.people become more forgetful as they age

【2】Which of the following is an example of procedural memory?

A.Playing the violin. B.The location of Italy.

C.Our first day at school. D.The first time I rode a bicycle.

【3】What was Henry Gustav Molaison's new problem after the operation in the 1950s?

A.He couldn't learn new skills.

B.He couldn't remember anything.

C.He suffered more often from epilepsy.

D.He couldn’t develop new declarative memories.

【4】According to the article, scientists don't yet know for sure ________.

A.if there are many different types of memory

B.if procedural memories always last longer than declarative memories

C.why procedural memories often last longer than declarative memories

D.whether different types of memory are stored in different regions of our brains

【5】We can learn from the article that declarative memories _______.

A.are responsible for our speech B.are stored on the brain's surface

C.can be passed on to other people D.aren't easily affected by brain injuries

26、E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.

We live in a society that is producing and using electronics* all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled*.

Burying* e-waste or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.

In recent years,    . However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.

Another way is to make producers responsible* for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.

As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don’t buy a product just to have the latest model.

E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.

【1】 According to the passage, it is often to buy new electronics than to repair old ones.

A. more expensive   B. more difficult

C. cheaper D. worse

【2】In the passage the underlined word “they” refers to “   ”.

A. the old products B. the producers

C. the users       D. the new products

【3】Which of the following is the best for the blank_________ in Paragraph 4?

A. the e-waste problem has been solved

B. the e-waste problem continues growing

C. many countries have started recycling e-waste

D. people haven’t realized the e-waste problem yet

【4】 Which sentence shows the writer’s opinion?

A. Burning e-waste caused problems for the environment.

B. E-waste problem is very serious and people should take actions.

C. Sometimes electronics are sent to poor countries such as Ghana.

D.  In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year.
