this part.After reading each passage,youwill find 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with ABCD.You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time,they become weak;when you start using them again,they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows this,and nobody would thinkof questioning this face.Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that hr keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly,either consciously or unconsciously.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough practice.The position is exactly the same as that of two people,one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis,while the other sits in a chair or a car all day.If a friend complains that his arms are weak,we know that it is his own fault.But if he tells us that he has a memory,many of us think that his parents are to blame,or that he is just unlucky,and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak.Not all of us can become extremely strongor extremely clever;but all of the same means—practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can ?Why is this?Of course,because those who cannot read or write have to remember things:They cannot write them down in a notebook,They have to remember dates,times,prices,names,songs and stories,so their memory is always being exereised.So if you want a good memory,learn from the poor and humble:practise remembering.16.The first paragragh is intended to tell us that__A.everybody knows that memory works in the same way as arms or legsB.it is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legsC.to have a good memory,one has to exercise it regularlyD.to keep fit,one should not sit in a chair or a car all day17.In the author‟s opinion,a poor memory may result

improved by pracitisng itB.the poorer one is ,the better memory be hasC.if you want a good memory,do not read or write anythingD.the poor and humble people may help you remember things20.The most appropriate title for the passage would be __A.Poor and Good MemoryB.Your Arms,Legs and BrainC.How to Improve Your MemoryD.Learn from the poor and HumbleQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following

essential to the rising of living standards and to the deelining prices of goods and services.But higher productivity may lead to fewer jobs.Early in the postwar era,analysts were worried that automation would take over manufacturing,throwing every out of work,That fear went unrealized for a generation,in part because robots and computers weren‟t good at much.Today,near-automated manufacturing is becoming a reality.Newly built factories often require only a small part of the work force in theplants.Office technology,meanwhile,now allows a few to do what once required a large group of people.There may come a point when the gains from higher productivity pale before the job losses.But even if that point does not come,rapid technological change is causing anxiety about future employment:anxiety that makes is hard to appreciate and enjoy what productivity creates.Prosperity brings many other mixed blessings .Living standards keep rising,but so do cases of depression.Agricultural yields continue rising,yet that means fewer family farms are needed.Biotechnology may allow us to live longer,but may leave us dependent on costly synthetic drugs.There are many similar examples.Increasingly,western life suffers from the paradoxes(自相矛盾)of progress.Material circumstances keep improving,yet our quality of life may be no better as a result—especially in

Most MBA program outside the United States can be completed in one year rather than two ,representing a huge saving in both tuition and opportunity costs.Britain has an advantage over other international programs in both ranking and brand value.Better rankings attract better students, who in turn improve the rankings.”The applications we received this year were on average of a much higher quality than last year,”said Gary , the admission director at Cambridge,” The increase in applications enables us to be more selective.
