18、e girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.When I got older and started going to school, we couldnt watch our game shows regularly. That
19、was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.At first, I would just sit in the kitchen and watch
20、, even though I didnt understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs,I felt like I had found complete pleasure.At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself,and my grandmother stoppe
21、d coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes
22、I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked th
23、rough the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.25.

From the passage we know the authors grandmother .A. lived with her family B. was very skilled at bakingC. published a recipe book D. had been on a game showCAs Internet users become more dependent
25、on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted so
26、me experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that th
27、e computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the info
28、rmation on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交
29、互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date.
30、 This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.28. The passage begins with two questions to _.A. introduce the main topicB. show the authors attitudeC. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store informatio

What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research?A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intellig

DFrom July to October every year, about a quarter of the worlds blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. S
34、hips carrying cargo (货物)sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales paths and the ships travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale. According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the worlds blue whales. Only ab
35、out 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles,
36、California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says S
37、ean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that
38、 separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员)more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of th
39、e worlds largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时), the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.32. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_.A. people intend to il
40、legally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area33. Why is the death of several whales regarded as significant loss to the worlds blue whales?A
41、. Because the number of the blue whales is so small.B. Because other blue whales will be scared away.C. Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world.D. Because many blue whales get killed throughout the year.34. According to Sean Hastings, its inferred that .A. the number of the blue wha
42、les is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the worlds blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.35. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sail
43、or.B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The worlds largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.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。How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence.
