You’ll need a strong academic record. CMU’s acceptance rate is just 17%.

27、Can you still remember the things happening when you were a child? Grown­ups are often amazed by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.

【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?

A．Children have a better memory than grown­ups.

B．People remember well what they learned in childhood.

C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

D．Stories for children are easy to remember.

【2】What method does the author use to explain the law of overlearning?

A．presenting research findings

B．setting down general rules

C．giving examples

D．making a comparison

【3】According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is ________.

A．a result of overlearning

B．a special case of cramming

C．a skill to deal with math problems

D．a basic step towards advanced studies

【4】What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Commonly accepted rules.

B．School subjects.

C．Things easily forgotten.

D．The multiplication tables.

28、Nelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans he is a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races, despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist regime(政权).

Mandela, who won the nation’s first all-race elections after the fall of apartheid(种族隔离) in 1944,retired in 1999. But he remains as popular as ever.

＂He’s loved by all people, whether you’re white or black, whether you’re young or old,＂ said Ali Bacher, South Africa’s former cricket(板球) chief.

His popularity has inspired an entire national industry. His portrait has appeared at many places, including on some goods. His face has appeared on a South African coin, a metropolitan(大都会的) area was named in his honor and some business leaders hope to build a massive, rotating statue in his likeness — the Statue of Freedom. It would stand taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty.

His popular appeal is similar to that of John F. Kennedy with US or Winston Churchill in Britain, but few politicians in his times have achieved his level of admiration, said Tom Lodge, head of the political science department of the University of the Witwatersrand.＂ Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career. He is a very, very clever man,＂ However, he is far from perfect.

Most articles for his birthday, which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day, briefly mentioned that Mandela did have his shortcomings. Then they returned to their flowing praises. ＂Through the ages, the human race has had its icons(偶像) — men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generation,＂ The Mail and Guardian Weekly said. ＂In our generation, the gods presented us Nelson Mandela.＂

【1】Nelson Mandela is loved by all the people of South Africa because________.

29、I would never forget the time when we were standing at the top of a church tower．My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome．I wondered why．

“Look down, Elsa，” Father said．I gathered all my courage and looked down．I saw the square in the center of the village．And I saw the criss­cross （纵横交错） of streets leading to the square．“See, my dear，” Father said gently．“There is more than one way to the square．Life is like that．If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another．”

Now I understood why I was there．Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school．But she refused because she didn't believe the lunches were as bad as I said．

When I turned to Father for help, he would not interfere （干涉）．Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson．By the time we reached home, I had a plan．

At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home．Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner．The plan worked perfectly．She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, “The cook must have gone bad！” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would deal with the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the following years I often remembered the lesson Father taught me．I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago．I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal．Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square．

30、I’d just gotten out of hospital myself. Five days after my mother passed away, a tire of my car blew. I was going 50mph when I completely lost ______: my car crashed head-on into a concrete barrier. I should have been ______ but fortunately I survived. Physically I healed quickly, but the ______ injuries and fear of my own death stayed on. Soon even ______ activities, like driving a car or visiting my doctor, filled me with great fear. Eventually I fell into a state of ______ and stopped seeing friends. I even didn’t want to go anywhere and feel anything.

Then, last February, I was invited by my friends to go ______ in Colorado. My first response was to ______. I didn’t want to get on a plane, fasten sticks on my feet or slide down a mountain. The mere thought of meeting new people ______ me. But I had a sense that this journey might be the brilliant sunlight I ______ needed. I finally agreed.

The first day, I was ______ with Peter, an experienced coach. He sensed my fear, patiently removing it with a smile and jokes. I was absolutely terrified of ______ myself, but his gentle encouragement kept me going. Then he said something that made me nod in recognition, “Jill, fear ______ everything.” Peter was talking about skiing, about how your muscles ______ when you are afraid, often causing you to fall. And it’s particularly true in life as well. When you permit fear to prevent you from doing what you love, life stops. With Peter’s words in mind, I kept practicing.

By the end of the day, I’d improved enough to fly down hills that had scared me, a bright smile on my face and tears in my eyes. Tears were not from the cold but from ______. I’d faced my fears on the mountain, and I knew ______ the rest wouldn’t be far behind.
