A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick? It could truly be our familys last supe
17、r meal. Making the holiday meal was my brothers job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but hed been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.My fami
18、ly was lost without him, and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldnt bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal mad
19、e with love. So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together. But we were terrible cooks. I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. Id bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but he
20、r newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame womens basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters Shoes. That afternoon, cooking in the ki

What might be the best title for the
24、text ?A. Cooking in the KitchenB. Filling Peters ShoesC. Happy Easter Day D. Terrible CooksCCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the bodys blood has been linked closely with the
25、emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murder
26、ed someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expressionto get cold feetthat has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression mea
27、ns being afraid to do something you decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you und
28、erstand the situation.Cold can also affect your shoulder. You “give someone the cold shoulder” when you refuse to speak to him. You treat him in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back towards someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You
29、 may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you or to someone who has lied about you to others.“A cold fish” is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and show no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyo
30、ne.“Out in the cold” is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.28The passage is intended to tell us that _.Acold weather has a grea

34、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 some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Intern
35、et 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 the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the in
36、formation 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 information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer fol
37、der (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember 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”.According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories
38、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. This doesn t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but th
39、ere is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.32The passage begins with two questions to _.Aintroduce the main topic Bshow the authors attitudeCdescribe how to use the Internet Dexplain how to store information33What can we learn about the first experiment?ASparrows team typed the informati
40、on into a computer.BThe two groups remembered the information equally well.CThe first group did not try to remember the information.DThe second group did not understand the information.34In transactive memory, people _.Akeep the information in mind Bchange the quantity of informationCorganize inform
41、ation like a computer Dremember how to find the information35What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research?AWe are using memory differently.BWe are becoming more intelligent.CWe have poorer memories than before.DWe need a better way to access information.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文
