      A
      I’m a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my 7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings in front of us. Our conversation varied from business to entertainment to the economy.
      Suddenly our conversation was interrupted by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my controversial TV show, when I’m out on the streets.
      He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I’m James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who’s very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I’m poor, so can you please help me?”
      Speechless, I stared in the man’s eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After we talked for a while, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me, “What’s wrong with you? Your
      face changed.” I told him and he was very sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him. Later we headed off to our destinations(目的地).
      All weekend I thought about James, his daughter and his family. I even considered doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child.
      On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.
      “Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I’ll pay all expenses for his sick daughter’s treatment.” JoJo said, with a check in his hand. “I’ve been married for 35 years. I wasn’t lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.” I picked up the phone to call James.
      Now James’ daughter is well and living a normal life, so James and his wife are the happiest couple on earth. JoJo often visits her. I’m so happy that there are so many good people on this earth.
      51. The writer went to the beach to ______________.
      A. meet JoJo on purpose B. make a TV show.
      C. have lunch with his daughter D. help James.
      52. James asked to speak privately to the writer rather than JoJo probably because __________.
      A. He didn’t know that JoJo was wealthy.
      B. He thought a TV show host could help him through the media.
      C. He believed that rich people were seldom willing to help others.
      D. He knew that the writer was a warm-hearted TV show host.
      53. The writer was ________ when he heard that JoJo came to his office to see him.
      A. excited B. disappointed C. surprised D. annoyed
      54. Which is True according to the story?
      A. The writer was cold-hearted and refused to give help.
      B. It was very impolite of James to ask the writer for help.
      C. Both James and the writer were bad-tempered..
      D. JoJo was full of love and was willing to help the James.

As Internet users become more dependent 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 some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know 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 the 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 information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) 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(获取) it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

58. The passage begins with two questions to ______.

A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's altitude

C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information

59. What can we learn about the first experiment?

A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.

B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.

C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.

D. The second group did not understand the information.

60. In transactive memory, people ______.

A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information

C. remember how to find the information D. organize information like a computer

61. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?

A. We are becoming more intelligent. B. We are using memory differently.

C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to get information.

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole that was behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (美洲鳄鱼) was swimming toward the shore. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. 62 It was too late.

Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. 63 The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim, and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. 64 And, on his arms were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma(痛苦的经历), asked the boy if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And, then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn't let go.”

We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. 65We foolishly get into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with danger and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. That is when the tug-of-war begins. If you have the scars of love on your arms, be very, very grateful. And never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they were made.

A．Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.

B．You are a child of God. He wants to protect you, and provides for you in every way.

C．Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother.

D．That began an incredible tug-of-war (拔河赛) between the two.

E．His legs were extremely scarred by the violent attack of the animal.

Possible Version:

A great person I admire

The great person I admire is Yuan Longping. Born in 1930, Yuan Longping is recognized as one of China’s greatest scientists, a pioneer for all people.

I admire Yuan Longping a lot for his great achievements. He is the first to grow super hybrid rice in the world. It has such a high output that China is now free from hunger. Dr Yuan also helps many less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN is now equipped with more tools to rid the world of hunger.

I am impressed with his great personality as well. He cares little about being famous, considering himself an ordinary farmer. Money also means very little to him.

Such is Yuan Longping, a man who devotes his whole life to feeding more people.

听力原文材料:

（Text1）

W: It’s very nice. I hate it when there is loud music. Er, what would you like?

M: We haven’t looked at the menu yet. Could we have something to drink first?

(Text2)

W: How do you relax when you’re not working?
M: Well, I go for a walk in the park now and again. I often read in the evening. I like reading.

W: Do you watch TV?

M: Seldom.

(Text3)

W: You really need to come to the bank to discuss the problem. Are you available later on today?

M: I’m afraid I’m rather tied up today. Er, would tomorrow be convenient for you?

W: Yes, that’s fine.

(Text4)

M: What’s wrong with you?

W: I’ve got a headache. I can’t concentrate on work and I hardly ate anything yesterday.

M: Take it easy. Let’s see what the problem is.

(Text 5)

M: How many classes do you have every day?

W: From Monday to Friday, we have three classes in the morning and one in the afternoon per day. But on Saturday, I choose only two classes.

(Text6)

M: Hi, Linda.

W: Oh, hi, John. Haven’t seen you for a few days. What are you doing these days?

M: Well, I’m doing a very interesting job. I began to train dogs. My dogs are really actors, you know, the dogs you see in movies and TV shows.

W: Cool! How do you do it?
M: The dogs have to learn signals for certain basic skills, like sit, stop, and lie down. After that, you teach

them the tricky things.

W: That’s really fantastic! But how do you make them learn things?
M: Well, you mainly need patience. You repeat and repeat the commands. And they get a reward every time they get it right.

W: Maybe I should consider training my own dog to do these tricks as well. It must be a lot of fun.

(Text 7)

W: What are you watching?

M: Packers are playing the Chiefs.

W: Well. I can never understand this game.

M: It’s not that hard. If you watch a couple of games, you’ll start to understand it. I’ve watched a lot of football. I like Packers. I think it is the best team of all. So I watch all their games.

W: Did you play football before?

M: Only in high school. I was too small to play for college.

W: Do you think it is more fun than baseball and basketball?

M: It’s hard to compare the three because they are so different. I like them all. How about you? You like baseball or basketball?

W: The former one is my favourite.

M: Well, it is fun, but you should also learn football. I’ll explain as we watch.

(Text8)

W: Now have you thought about how you’d like to travel to France?
M: Not really.

W: There are three ways. You can go by ship or by train and of course, you can fly.

M: Well, I don’t think flying is a choice for me as it’ll be too expensive. And it’s a pity really as I don’t like the idea of travelling by sea. Last time I did that I got terrible seasick. So I will go by train though it’s a bit slow.

W: Ok, I see. Now, how will you be paying? Cash, cheque or credit card?

M: I don’t have my cheque book with me, so it’ll have to be by credit card.

W: Fine, that’s no problem. Now let’s look at times. There is a train leaving at 9:00 a.m. and one that leaves half an hour later. Or you can choose a later one at 11:30.

M: I think 11:30 is too late, so I think I’d prefer the one that leaves after 9:00.

W: Ok, that’s booked for you now.

(Text9)

M: My friends are getting married next month.

W: That’s great. Are you going to the wedding?

M: No, I can’t go. I’m going to send them a wedding gift, but I don’t know what to get.

W: How about something for their kitchen, something they can use to cook with, such as a pan?

M: I don’t think they cook much. They’re both really busy. I think they eat out a lot.

W: Well, how about something for their new house, maybe a nice picture? Do they like art?

M: Maybe, but I haven’t seen their house, and I don’t know what would look good. It’s hard to choose art for someone else.

W: That’s true. Well, if you really don’t have any ideas, why don’t you give them money? They could probably use it.

M: That’s a good idea. I guess I could do that.

M: We all know about that there are various kinds of jobs in the world, but what kind of job do you like? Because different people are attracted by different jobs, everyone has his own interest. What’s your favorite job? I always ask myself this question. In the past, I was not satisfied with my job, so I often felt unhappy. After deep thought, I decided to change that situation. Fortunately, I was able to find my ideal job. Now I’d like to tell you something about my story.

I used to be the manager of a large finance company. I had a really good salary, nice house, big car, all those things. But I was just working all the time, and I never saw my wife, or had any time for my great passion—cooking. So about three years ago, I left my job, and my life and I opened a small restaurant. I did all the cooking at first, and it was very hard work. But then we started to make some money, and we got a chef, and it was easier. Nowadays, I decide the menus, and I go to the market every day, to get fresh vegetables, fish and sometimes I do some cooking. We’re certainly not as rich we were, and we worked long hours, but I think we’re much happier. Maybe next year we’ll have a holiday—our first one in three years!
