24、

The 2024 Spring Festival Gala official mascot (吉祥物), “Loong Chenchen”, was unveiled (公布) by the China Media Group on Wednesday. The name “Loong Chenchen” includes the Chinese character “Loong”, which translates to “dragon” in English. The dragon has held significant spiritual and cultural importance in China. The mascot “Loong Chenchen” shows great meanings of good luck, peace, health and happiness.

The mascot is designed (设计) difficultly, drawing ideas from China’s deep and rich traditional culture. For details, the design of the dragon claw (爪子) in “Loong Chenchen” gets ideas from the pattern of the Nine-Dragon Wall of the Palace Museum in Beijing. The pattern on the dragon stomach is from the cloud and thunder shapes in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The dragon fin (鳍) is based on a Tang Dynasty (618-907) artifact (历史文物) which looks like a moving gold dragon.

The color of “Loong Chenchen” has traditional Chinese names, including “Chengxia” and “Chunchen”. “Chengxia” which means red or rosy clouds in English, stands for youth and vitality. The color of “Chunchen” is a symbol of spring, hope and growth.

The Spring Festival Gala or “Chunwan” is so popular that it has become an important part of the Lunar New Year celebrations, which is deeply loved by the Chinese people. During the Spring Festival, families throughout China will come together. Broadcasting on the Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Gala is watched by more than one billion people.

26、   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（记忆）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 parts 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 memories. These memories can be communicated to others. Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are call procedural memories. These memories are responsible（负责的）for our performance.

Scientists have done many experiments on different memory types. The most famous of them was carried out 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（遭受）less from epilepsy. But there was a new problem.

Molaison’s memory system went wrong. 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. Can you guess its meaning?

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

A．Flying a kite.

B．The population of Italy.

C．Losing an ID card.

D．The first time I cooked.

【2】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.

【3】According to the passage, 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 parts of our brains

【4】We can learn from the passage that declarative memories ________.

A．are responsible for our performance

B．can be passed on to other people

C．are stored in the brain’s center

D．aren’t easily affected by brain injuries

【5】What does “just like riding a bicycle” mean?

A．An ability that one is born with.

B．A task that lakes a long time to complete.

C．A skill that, once learned, is never forgotten.

D．Something that should be learned as early as possible.

27、Letter A

Dear Rose,

I like your programmes very much. I’m now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I’m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I’m afraid of making mistakes.

Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Wang Lin

Letter B

Dear Wang Lin,

It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.
