He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true 36 still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the 37 that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.My daughter Stacy had ever had a 38 experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying 39 accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her 40 , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were41 . No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no 42 in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the 43 fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a 44 relationship.Fortunately, Stacy’s accident had not weakened her love for 45 in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual 46 . In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily 47 in coming to the stall with me. She actively spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the48 talking to him about her life.Then one day 49 I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the o ld guy’s eager expression and desire to be 50 , too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. In 51 , Stacy looked once again into the old man’s eye. That moment, their two spirits 52 and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t 53 . She only nodded yes.

The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. I had trained, sweated and disciplined myself for 6 years on the running broad jump. A year before, as a college student at the Ohio State, I’d set the world’s record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win.I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials, I was shocked to see a tall boy hitting the pit (坑) at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps. He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt.A nervous athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes. I fouled (犯规) twice on my qualifying jumps. Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disgustedly. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long. “Hi, I’m Luz Long. I don’t think we’ve met.”“Glad to meet you,” I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, “How are you?”“I’m fine. Something must be eating you. You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed.” He said.He seemed to understand my nervousness, and took pains to reassure me. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, “What does it matter if you’re not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts.” All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confidently I qualified with almost a foot to spare.Luz broke his own record and pushed me on to a peak performance. The instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me.56. The author said “ I was in for a surprise” because he _____A. beat Luz LongB. qualified for the finalC. met a great competitorD. joined in the Olympic Games57. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He remained confident in the Olympic Games.B. He had qualified for the finals on his first attempt.C. He had prepared for Berlin Olympics in Ohio State.D. He broke the world record of the running broad jump.58. What is the passage mainly about?A. A reliable man in the Olympic Games.B. A memorable experience in the Olympics.C. A surprising result in the Olympic Games.D. A good suggestion on how to win in the Olympics.英语第 3 页（共14 页）BBack those photos upThe images were striking. Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions.If that doesn’t move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age offers tools never imaginable before—including one-click access to a lifetime of family photos.Here is a brochure on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad.ScanningThe first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format. Most printers come with scanners these days, so that’s an easy but extremely time-consuming step.Storing the photosWith your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up.You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones. Or you could choose external(外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer.Online backupIf you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caronite.Caronite backs up 300 million files daily. Once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive. But photo collection on your computer’s main hard drive charges for $59 a year.Cloud StorageFor folks who don’t need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, Dropb ox, Google Drive and Microsoft’s SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them. All offer free options—2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive. But if you want more, you need to pay.Bottom LineThe hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest. But drives can fail. Online services are more expensive, but more secure. With more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are.59. Why does the author mention Superstorm Sandy?A. To tell the background of the scanning photos.B. To attract the readers’ interest in the backups.C. To describe a severe natural disaster.D. To win the reader s’ sympathy.60. What can we know from the passage?A. Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot.B. Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive.C. Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line.D. The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest.61. Which of the following allows storing files automatically?A. Caronite.B. Dropbox.C. SkyDrive.D. Flash drive.62. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. tell real stories about storage servicesB. introduce some of the storage servicesC. describe the functions of storage servicesD. argue about the advantage of storage services英语第 4 页（共14 页）英语 第 5CThe Commonwealth games have meant that the eyes of the world have been focused on our fair city —Melbourne. And it would look pretty good, wouldn ’t it? And what better way to regain our title as world ’s most liveable city? I’m told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place. It ’s hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer. 24 hours Coles, free transport for drunks on New Year ’s Eve, a new freeway, it ’s all here. The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city. But as well as being full every other weekend, these great places often play host to slightly older kids. At Rod Laver, even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical (教会的) road show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship (崇拜). Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that it ’s very easy to get around. There ’s a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure, but nothing like Bangkok, where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself. Driving here is a piece of cake. It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24 hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city. No slowing down for learning bends, just go, go, go! As for the social life, with over 40 million bars in Melbourne ’s CBD alone, we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory, making this town as good as any and it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unfortunately, the athletes themselves don ’t get to smell the roses to the same degree. But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be. The most liveable city in the world. By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what we ’re talking about. 63. In Paragraph 1 and 2 the author is wondering _____. A. how Melbourne has fallen behind B. when the international list was re-examined C. what they should do to regain the world ’s focus D. whether Melbourne can offer greater convenience64. What does the author mainly want to show in the passage? A. The casual life styles of Melbourne.B. The various social activities in Melbourne.C. The competitive advantages of Melbourne.D. The convenient transportation in Melbourne.65. From the underlined sentence, we can infer the athletes _____.A. have minimum social activitiesB. take no interest in the beauty of the cityC. are forbidden to live in the busy city centreD. are unwilling to celebrate the victory publiclyA.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionDAcross countryside, non-food crops are growing alongside wheat. Some are used in new alternatives to plastics and other materials, but others will simply be burned.Burning crops is becoming more popular because it is good for the planet. Doing so is also cheaper than burning fossil fuels. As more land is devoted to non-food crop production, the economics of crops for fuel are likely to become even more favorable.Humans have been burning such biomass—organic materials from plants or animals—since they discovered fire. But that burning fossil fuels could have catastrophic consequences has brought biomass back into fashion.Even allowing for emissions(排放) of carbon dioxide from fuel used in planting, harvesting, processing and transporting biomass fuel, replacing fossil fuel with biomass can typically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90 per cent.Power stations around the world are experimenting with forms of biomass to add to their coal or oil, with encouraging results. Indeed, power companies could profit by turning to biomass, especially when the subsidies(补助) many governments offer for using renewable energy are taken into account.Farmers can benefit from growing biomass. In Europe, the reduction of subsidies for certain crops is exposing farmers to market forces. Instead of being paid for whatever they produce, farmers must seek a clear demand for their product. Many believe that the demand for alternatives to fossil fuels could be just such a driver.But while biomass offers a variety of potential alternatives, the world’s infrastructure(基础设施) has developed around burning fossil fuels to such a stage that switching to biomass involves a change in conception that many companies have not accepted.Also, there are problems with using biomass. Although most coal-fired power stations could take a small amount of their fuel from biomass without significant adjustment, few are built to run on biomass alone.Burning some forms of biomass also causes environmental problems. Oils and waste can be smelly, while wood produces smoke unless burned properly.The supply chains for fossil fuels are set up well, but those for biomass are just the beginning. Sources of supply for biomass rely on farm production and can therefore be less reliable. They are necessarily英语第 6 页（共14 页）limited and it wouldn’t make sense to turn a very large amount of valuable agricultural land away from food crops. But as the world adjusts to the need to control greenhouse gas emissions, these problems may receive more attention.67. What do we know about biomass?A. It is a useful way of burning crops.B. It is a new alternative to be used widely.C. It is plant and animal matter used to provide power.D. It is a popular approach to fighting against pollution.68. What are the advantages of using biomass?a. It gives off less greenhouse gases.b. It helps farmers receive subsidies for what they produce.c. It has met the clear demand for energy.d. It has brought subsidies for some power companies.e. It is cheaper than burning fossil fuels.A. a, b, cB. b, c, dC. c, d, eD. d, e, a69. For coal-fired power stations, _____.A. more effective ways to use biomass have been triedB. using renewable energy has become their daily taskC. burning biomass alone would require considerable changesD. setting up dependable supply channels needs governments’ support70. What is the author’s attitude towards biomass fuels?A. Objective.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Defensive.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）I know just how you feelDo you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD exhibiting every possible human emotion. 71In the mid1800s, Darwin divided the emotions into six types—anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide. 72 The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.The project was designed by a Cambridge professor. His research team first had to define an “emotion”.73 Using this definition, 412 emotion terms were identified and discussed, from “afraid” to “wanting”.Then each expression is acted out by six different actors. “It was really clear when the actors had got it right,” says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. “Although they were given some direction, the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move. 74 ”Someone who has tried to set such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who built database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements. Ekman has also found that it may not be possible for people to reproduce them artificially. The most difficult expression to reproduce is the smile. It isn’t only about stretching the lips, but tightening the tiny muscles around the eye.75 If we learnt to recognize whether someone was using their eye muscle when they smiled, we would be able to distinguish true enjoyment from false.英语第7 页（共14 页）A. It shows 412 distinct ways we feel.B. These can be combined into more than 10,000 facial shapes.C. These particular muscles are difficult to control, and few people can do it.D. They decided that it was a mental state that could be introduced by “I feel” or “helooks ” or “she sounds”.E. He said the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone,from any culture.F. It is as if they are programmed into the brains of “normal humans” wherever theyare and whatever their races.G. We thought of trying to describe each emotion, but it would have been almostimpossible to make clear rules for this.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，校报英文版正在开展以“汉语走向世界”为主题的故事征集活动。

He explained that while a curfew 37 sound like a restriction, it‟s really about people looking out for one another.The very next Friday after that pretty heated 38 , my dad and I had tickets to see our town‟s professional football game. On that day he was 39 to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and 40 me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.To make sure we could 41 off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he‟d be home, I understood that he was a little 42 . But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting 43 . We were going to miss the kick-off!

I‟d already called his cellphone about ten times, but no 49 .I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said 50 , “Son, I‟m so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I 51 to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I52 my cellphonein the car, so I couldn‟t call until now.”I was so relieved to hear from my father and to 53 that he was safe that I actually cried. That was 54 I “got” the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It‟s about knowing that someone you love is 55 . It was one more proof of my father‟s loving me as much as he does.36.

But if we clean up the litter and repair the fence, it will be a great place for a skateboard park.” Mr. Hanson scanned the broken concrete, nodding. “The old school is being adapted to a community arts centre. This area could become a vital part of the neighbourhood again.”“Here‟s a picture of a skateboard park in another town. Look how busy it is.” Everett was relieved that the community representative seemed receptive to the idea. Mr. Hanson studied the photograph, and then asked, “If town council provides the money, how will you and your friends contribute?” Everett felt optimistic now. “We‟ll help design and build the ramps(坡道). More experienced boarders could give lessons to raise money!” Everett‟s voice was enthusiastic.However, Mr. Hanson said, “We‟ll still need parking spaces, and the neighbours will not like late-night noise. They might worry about the crime of deliberately damaging public property and….”“The skateboard park would use only the back corner, which isn‟t near any houses. Since young people already hang out here, why not give them something fun and physically active to do in their free time?” The lines over Mr. Hanson‟s forehead unwrinkled(舒展), and Everett‟s hopes rose again. “If everyone works together,” Everett thought, “maybe this idea will become reality.”56. Where were Everett and Mr. Hanson talking?A. In the city hall.B. Outside a park.C. Near the parking lot.D. In the art centre.57. Everett was trying to persuade Mr. Hanson to _____.A. beautify the neighbourhoodB. cut the area of the parking lotC. build an art centre for childrenD. provide money for a skateboard park58.

The building—the country‟s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional bu ilding of its size. The Eastgate‟s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn‟t have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.During summer‟s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings—days as warm as 31℃commonly drop to 14℃at night. “You couldn‟t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.63. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?A. It was designed in a smaller size.B. No air conditioners were fixed in.C. Its heating system was less advanced.D. It used rather different building materials.64. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Fresh air from outside.B. Heat in the building.C. Hollow space.D. Baseboard vent.65. Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.66. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate‟s temperature control system_____.A. allows a wide range of temperaturesB. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of the airD. works better in hot seasonsDIs the …Go to College‟ Message Overdone?Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn‟t the answer for everyone. A briefing paperfrom the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.“We‟ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there‟s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot o f student debt and then you don‟t graduate,that is a very bad situation.”One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April‟s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the L abor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn‟t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor‟s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one‟s major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.She suggested two avenues for improving the situation: increasing vocational(职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europe‟s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you‟re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be plumbers, welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.67. People usually think that _____.A. the cost of technical schooling is a problemB. one will not succeed without a college degreeC. technical skills are most important for landing a jobD. there is an increased competition in getting into a college68. What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?A. Hearing from.B. Changing from.C. Differing from.D. Learning from.69. What can we infer from the passage?A. Public institutions charge more for education.B. European universities are stricter with students.C. Students with certain skills are in great demand.D. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.70. Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that _____.A. too much stress has been put on the value of college degreesB. technical training is more important than college educationC. a college degree will ensure promising employmentD. it‟s easier for art students to find favorite jobs第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）The Importance of Accessibility AwarenessAt a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 71 However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 72 These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 73 And the meeting focused on educating the public.Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, t he woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 74Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 75 People who are informed of the rail‟s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你校将要组织美国交换生参观中国美术馆（National Art Museum of China）。

they spoke equally to socialites(社会名流）and cab drivers, professors and repairmen．Through his essays, which he wrote for nearly 50 years, White helped give The New Yorker its voice and identity．In 1945, already a leading literary figure, White switched to his second occupation writing children's books．He moved from New York to a farm in Maine, where he raised chickens and geese．Seeking a way to amuse his nieces and nephews, White started to write stories for them．“Children were always after me to tell them a story and I found I couldn't do it," he said．“ So I had to get it down on paper．”By the time he died from Alzheimer's disease in 1985, White's essays had appeared in more literary collections in colleges than those of any other writer．Many said his essays matched his personality: sophisticated without being simple, critical without being mean．59．What do we learn from Paragraph 2?A．White took the trip to realize his lifelong dream．B．The trip had a lasting effect on White's personality．C．The travelling companion found White's music talent．D．White had many experiences to talk about after the trip．60．The underlined part "its niche" means something that ．A．suits its sponsors' tastes B．protects its social identityC．helps to build its own style D．voices its authors' concern 61．What do we know about White's works?A．They originally came from the stories told by his nieces．B．They were intended for people of different social status．C．They helped The New Yorker find its position on the map．D．They were chosen by college textbooks when they came out．CDoes style really sell?How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson, British inventor of the Dyson vacuum （真空）cleaner that has sold in millions around the world, resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum．It is widely believed that Mr．Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style and fashion at the expense of serious industrial design．Mr．Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself．He may be right, but these days, museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning．Among competition for sponsorship, they must use exhibitions of populist culture, nice cafes and shops or, best of all, a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers．On the one hand, some producers can be too old-fashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods．On the other hand there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important．Design is indeed a broad term, involving both function and form．Typically, in any given product area, it changes from the formerto the latter．Clothing is a good example．But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance was more important than what it did．Today nearly all goods at any given price-point do much the same job．So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer, which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging; or the imagery（意象）created by advertising．And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaners? Mr．Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction, but most vacuum cleaners do a good job; the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is because it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand．With its inside workings exposed, it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside．Functional it may be, but it is a bit of a trick, too．62．Mr．Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the museum ．A．didn't increase the number of visitorsB．couldn't provide scholarships for learnersC．wasn't loyal to its original purpose of learningD．hadn't great appeal for serious industrial designs63．Speaking of clothing, the underlined word "latter" refers to ．A．affording protection B．indicating one's identityB．providing warmth C．making someone beautiful 64．What is the author's opinion in Paragraph 4?A．A product with convenient packaging sells well．B．The majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods．C．Most similarly priced products are of a comparable standard．D．Emotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry．65．The author believes that people buy the Dyson vacuum cleaner because ．A．it has very good suction B．it has a fashionable rangeC．it sells well around the world D．it is invented by James Dyson 66．What is the author's attitude towards the form of a product?A．Optimistic．B．Sceptical．C．Disapproving．D．Objective．DIn this section，we are concerned with reconstructive memory．Suppose you are trying to remember some event．Reconstructive memory would involve（涉及）combining the pieces of information about the event you can remember with your relevant knowledge and experience to reconstruct what probably happened．The concept of reconstructive memory is related to schema theory．A schema is an organized package of information containing your knowledge about the world; it helps us to make sense of it all．Schemas are stored in long-term memory．Your schemas tell you that if you were wearing a T-shirt it was likely to be summer．Bower, Black, and Turner showed that most people share similar schemas．Most people listed the following as the most important events associated with having a restaurant meal: sitting down, looking at the menu, ordering, eating, paying the bill, and leaving the restaurant．In the early 1930s, it was generally assumed that memory simply involves remembering the information presented to us．However9 Bartlett argued that memory was often more complexthan that, in that previous knowledge in the form of schemas has influence on our memory．He thought what was of key importance was to ask participants to memorize a text selected to produce conflict between its contents and their knowledge of the world．As a result, the participants would connect their own schemas to the contents．This would result in misrepresentation of the material．For example, if people read a story taken from a different culture, then this would contain words and concepts that were foreign It would be likely that the participants' previous knowledge would influence the way this information was remembered, making it more acceptable from the standpoint of their own cultural background．Bartlett's work suggested that the process of remembering things is an active reconstruction of the bits that are stored．What is involved here has been compared to using a few dinosaur bones to reconstruct what the dinosaur probably looked like．When you learn something, it is actually only elements of the experience that are stored．So reconstructions are made by combining the real elements of a memory with your knowledge of the world．Our prejudices will influence what we think we have seen, and how we later recall the information．67．How does the author explain the schema theory in Paragraph l?A．By giving common examples．B．By comparing different events．C．By reporting experiment results．D．By explaining principles in daily life．68．What is schema?A．Relevant information showing your understanding of the world．B．An organized package of information that makes sense to people．C．Pieces of information about the event you can remember．D．The most important events associated with each other．69．Bartlett believed that ．A．earlier experience would affect what people recalledB．memory was more complex than what schema theory supportedC．conflict existed in people's knowledge of the worldD．people tended to make information acceptable70．What is the passage mainly about?A．What helps regain memory．B．How memory is reconstructed．C．What the real elements of memory are．D．How schema theory influences memory．第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共1 0分）Nature's cheatsMary is digging in the ground for a potato，when along comes John．Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream．John's angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away．Once his mum has gone，John helps himself to Mary's potato．We've all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young-the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him．But Mary and John are not humans．They're African baboons（狒狒）．71John's scream and his mother's attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others．72Studying behavior like this is complicated, but scientists discovered apes（猿）clearlyshowed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated．73 An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting．When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day．"Another way to decide whether an animal's behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal．A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy．"He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe．When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors．" Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe．74 But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying．It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies．75 Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence．A．In most cases t e animal probably doesn't know it is cheating．B．An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania．C．And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior．D．So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery．E．The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of tools．F．This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboons．G．Of course it's possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why．第四部分：书面表达（共两节，3 5分）第一节情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，校报英语园地在开展征稿活动。
