Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the US and the Netherlands, the brain structures of ordinary people and 23 of the worlds leading memory athletes show no difference.Thats because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron(神经元期刊) suggests that you can bee a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training.Researchers found that technique(技巧) called loci, invented by ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory. By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brains memory networks. You can link(关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be handle(把手) on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 words. First they could only remember 26 of them. But when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.“Not everyone can bee a memory champion. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level theyre at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.5.According to the study, _.a. memory athletes have special brainsb. ordinary people and memory athletes have similar brain structuresc. hard training can make a person a super memorizerd. the ancient Greeks had the most powerful memory at that timeA. ab B. cd C. bc D. ac6.When using loci to remember something, you link the thing with a _.A. number B. place C. name D. painting7.Which of the following about the study is NOT true? _.A. People were given 20 minutes to remember the 72 words.B. They could remember 26 words in their own way.C. They could remember all the words by using loci.D. Loci helped them remember 36 more words. CEveryone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. Its a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun. Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will e out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role. For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .8. We can infer from the text that most millionaires are _.A. older than 20 B. around 20 C. in their 30s D. in their 40s9. The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to _.A. a person in general B. a special personC. Britney Spears D. a person interested in money10. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.C. The teenage edy movie was based on Britneys own story.D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.11. According to Britney Spears, she works _.A. to be a great actress B. for the enjoyment C. for money D. to be more famousDThere is a mon belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.If spelling bees the only point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will write only words within his spelling range(范围). Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content（内容）rather than technical（技术的）ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had failed to read the position（作文）, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.12.The expression “play safe” probably means _.A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequently D. to avoid using words one is not sure of13.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _.A. students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more trust in writingD. students will learn to spell words correctly14.The writer seems to think that the teachers judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _.A. reasonable B. unfair C. foolish D. careless15.The major point discussed in the passage is _.A. the importance of developing writing skillsB. the importance of spellingC. the correct way of marking positionD. the relationship between spelling and the content of a position第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）请注意：该题必须将答案转涂到二卷答题卡上，否则该题不得分。Once a large stone covered Snake and she couldnt rise. 16 , but when he had done so, she wanted to bite him.
