often they relive these experiences in nightmares.now american researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. the pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. they hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories. in november, experts tested a drug on people in the us and france. the drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. so far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. they are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. the research has caused a great deal of argument. some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. they say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “some memories can ruin peoples lives. they come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. they usually come with very painful emotions,” said roger pitman, a professor of psychiatry at harvard medical school. “this could relieve a lot of that suffering.” but those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. they also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “all of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. im not sure we want to wipe those memories out.” said rebcca dresser, a medical ethicist.24.the passage is mainly about _. a. a new medical invention b. a new research on the pillc. an argument about the research on the pill d. a way of wiping out painful memories25. the drug tested on people can _. a. cause the brain to fix memories b. stop people remembering bad experiences c. wipe out the emotional effect of memories d. prevent body producing certain chemicals 26.we can infer from the passage that _. a. taking the pill will do harm to peoples physical health b. the pills will certainly stop peoples emotional memories c. people doubt the effect of the pillsd. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the us27. which of the following does rebecca dresser agree with in the last paragraph?a. experiencing bad events makes us different from others. b. people want to get rid of bad memories .c. some memories can ruin peoples lives. d. the pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.cit was the worst tragedy in maritime (航海的) history, six times more deadly than the titanic.when the german cruise ship wilhelm gustloff was hit by torpedoes (鱼雷) fired from a russian submarine in the final winter of world war ii, more than 10,000 people - mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final red army push into nazi germany - were packed aboard.an ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down. others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. some who succeeded fought off those in the water had the strength to try to claw their way aboard. most people froze immediately. “ill never forget the screams, says christa ntitzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. she recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave - and into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.now germanys nobel prize-winning author gtinter grass has revived(使复活) the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children - with his latest novel crab walk, published last month. the book, which will be out in english next year, doesnt dwell on the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later: nobody wanted to hear about it, not here in the west (of germany) and not at all in the east. the reason was obvious. as grass put it in a recent interview with the weekly die woche: because the crimes we germans are responsible for were and are so dominant, we didnt have the energy left to tell of our own sufferings.the long silence about the sinking of the wilhelm gustloff was probably unavoidable - and necessary. by unreservedly owning up to(承认) their countrys monstrous crimes in the second world war, germans have managed to win acceptance abroad, marginalize (使.不得势) the neo- nazis(新纳粹) at home and make peace with their neighbors. todays unified germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. for that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the german titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. but even the most politically correct germans believe that theyve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. not to equate(使等同) german suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.28. why does the author say the sinking of the wilhelm gustloff was the worst tragedy in maritime history?a. it caused the largest number of casualties.b. most of its passengers were frozen to death.c. its victims were mostly women and children.d. it was attacked by russian torpedoes.29. hundreds of families dropped into the sea when _.a. a strong ice storm tilted the shipb. the cruise ship sank all of a suddenc. the frightened passengers fought desperately for lifeboats d. the badly damaged ship leaned toward one side 30. how does gunter grass revive the memory of the wilhelm gustloff tragedy?a. by presenting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack.b. by describing the ships sinking in great details.c. by describing the survival of a young pregnant woman.d. by giving an interview to the weekly die woche.31. it can be learned from the passage that germans no longer think that _.a. it is wrong to equate their sufferings with those of other countriesb. they will be misunderstood if they talk about the wilhelm gustloff tragedyc. germany is responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in world war iid. the wilhelm gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nations past misdeedsdonce when i was facing a decision that involved high risk, i went to a friend. he looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice ive ever had: be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.those words made me see clearly that when i had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because i had tried and failed. it was usually because i had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. on the other hand, whenever i had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, i had always been able to swim until i got my feet on the ground again.boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. and there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. they are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize.admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. but they are more important than physical ones. a college classmate of mine, tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “in one game i suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said tim. “i was so frightened that i closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet and stopped him cold.”boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. but it can be taught to children and developed in adults. confidence builds up. surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. but the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.so, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilitiesand youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.32. why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?a. he faced huge risks. b. fear prevented him from trying.c. he lacked mighty forces. d. failure blocked his way to success.33. what is the implied meaning of the underlined part?a. swallow more than you can digest. b. develop more mysterious powers.c. act slightly above your abilities. d. learn to make creative decisions.34. what can be learned from paragraph 5?a. boldness can be gained little by little.b. trying without success is meaningless.c. repeated failure creates a better life.d. confidence grows more rapidly in adults.35. what is the authors purpose in writing this passage?a. to recommend people to develop more abilities.b. to advise people to build up physical power.c. to tell people the ways to guarantee success.d. to encourage people to be courageous.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。we all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why cant we be more like them? its not the big things that make someone extraordinary. here are some small things that extraordinary people do every day: 36 just because youre the boss, doesnt mean you are right every time. learn to back up your decisions with reason. use logic(逻辑) to explain things, not authority. by doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.they are generous with compliments（恭维）. remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. not even a thank- you. 37 so every chance you get to praise someone, do it. a simple, “that was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employees feel great about themselves. 38 they are helpful. never hesitate to help someone. its fairly simple but it goes a long way. dont be non-committal（不负责的）and say something vague（含糊）like, “can i help you?” because they might just say, “no, im good.” 39 “i had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. i think i have figured a way to make it work.” offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial（互利）.theyre in charge of their emotions. sometimes it is very important to stay silent. especially when youre angry, you dont want to end up saying things you didnt really mean to. so they take their time to think back to what happened, and then come to a decision about how to deal with it. 40 never be too casual with words or actions.a. the key is to be specific.b. it hurts when your efforts are not recognized.c. they are open to criticism.d. when you feel awkward receiving a compliment, give the person a smile.e. a compliment can have a positive impact on their lives.f. they are sensitive to others.g. before you say anything, consider others feelings. 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节
