共用题干The Need to RememberSome people say they have no memory at all:"I just can't remember a thing!"But of course we all have a memory.Our memory tells us who we are.Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.In fact we have different types of memory.For example,our visual memory helps us recall facts and places.Some people have such a strong visual memory that they can remember exactly what they have seen,for example,pages of a book,as a complete picture.Our verbal(言语的)memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written:Items of a shopping list,a chemical formula,dates,or a recipe.With our emotional(情感的)memory, we recall situations or places where we had; strong feelings,perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell,taste, touch and sound,and for performing physical movements.We have two ways of storing any of these memories. Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial.Our long-term mem-ory,on the other hand,may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much biter long-term memory than short-term .They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago,but have the clearest remembrance(记忆)of when they were very young.Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past,and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story.We then make up the details. We of-ten do this in the way we want to remember them,usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past , or maybe victims needing sympathy(同情). Long-term memory is more important than short-term memory.A: RightB: WrongC: Not mentioned答案:C解析:根据文章第二段第二句话可知,视觉记忆可以帮助我们记起事实和地方,故本题表述正确,视觉记忆可以帮我们记起曾经去过的地方。根据文章第二段最后一句话中的“Some people have such...pages of a book...”可知题干正确,故本题表述正确。根据文章第三段中的“... words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written...”可知题干表述错误。根据文章第四段最后一句可知,perform physical movements说的是special memories。因此题干错误。联系全文,本文主要说的是人的记忆,而未提及动物。文章倒数第二段对short-term memory和long-term memory作了区分,并未进行重要性的比较。根据文章最后一段第一句话可知,关于过去我们只记得一部分,剩下的都是自己编造的,故本题表述正确。

共用题干第二篇Three Ways to Become More CreativeMost people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam- pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence, etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for thenight.Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac- tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May- be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者)use this technique in business; and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions: what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher- men think like fish!According to the passage,when we become adults_______________.A:most of us are no longer creativeB:we are not as imaginative as childrenC:we can still learn to be more creativeD:we are unwilling to be creative答案:C解析:由第一段第二句“They are wrong”可知,成年人也有想象力,且由该段最后一句中的“.help you”可知,成年人可以学习发挥想象力。由第二段第四句“Write down all the ideas/words associated with...”可知选C。由第三段第三句“Think about your goal and the new possibilities”可知选C。put yourself in sb's shoes是固定搭配,意为“设身处地”,故选D。第三个技巧是:设身处地地站在别人的角度上看问题。故销售员应考虑顾客所需的。

问答题Practice 9 Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate we can not consecrate we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion— that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.正确答案: 【参考译文】 87年以前,我们的祖先在这大陆上建立了一个新的国家,它孕育于自由之中,并献身于一种理念,即所有人都生来平等。 当前,我们正在从事一场伟大的内战。这场战争对于这个国家,或任何一个有这种主张和这种信仰的国家能否长久生存下去,都是一个考验。此刻,我们在这场战争的一个伟大的战场上集会。我们来到这里,把战场上的一部分土地奉献给在此为这个国家的生存而牺牲了自己生命的人,作为他们的永久安息之所。我们这样做,是十分合情合理的。 可是,就更深一层意义而言,我们其实是不可能奉献这片土地,不可能使它成为圣地,也不可能把它变为人们景仰之所。那些在这里战斗过的勇士,活着的和死去的,已使这块土地神圣化了,远非我们微薄的能力所能改变。我们此时此刻所说的话,世人不大会注意,更不会长久记忆;然而勇士们在这里的所作所为,人们将永志不忘。倒是我们活着的人,应当献身于那些曾经在此作战的人们所英勇推动而尚未完成的工作。我们应该在此献身于摆在我们面前的伟大任务——由于他们的光荣牺牲,我们要更坚定地致力于他们毫无保留地为之作出最后贡献的事业——我们在此不能让他们白白牺牲:要使这个国家在上帝庇佑之下,获得自由的新生,要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府不会从地球上消失。解析: 暂无解析
