They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly. The next day, after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon—by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world. We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, "STOP, TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back. As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I'd suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness. 【1】Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph? A. They made a careful preparation before the trip. B. The children were more joyful than their parents. C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected. D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view. 【2】The underlined expression "Our legs were like jelly" probably means ______. A. we were weak B. we were unhappy C. we were dissatisfied D. we were disappointed 【3】Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air? A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortable. C. It turned out to be exciting. D. It made each of them tired. 【4】We can infer from the passage that ____. A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way B. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident |

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember 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 an the Internet. 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 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. 【1】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 【2】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. 【3】In transactive memory, people ________. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 【4】What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. |

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Dachi was the name of my pet cockatiel. His name comes from the second half of the Japanese word tomodachi, 【1】means friend. I taught Dachi to whistle two songs, “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow” and “Happy Birthday to You”. Though his whole range of skills was small, his 【2】 (confident) never lagged (滞后), and he would frequently wish me a happy birthday when it wasn’t — which could be 【3】 (embarrass). When Dachi had been with us for three or four years, I think I may have become a bit too confident with him. One day, I didn’t realize that he was still sitting on my shoulder 【4】 until the door behind me shut loudly. He 【5】 (fly) away. After I placed 【6】an advertisement in the local paper, I received a phone call from a woman. I was so relieved to hear this news that I 【7】 (immediate) drove to her house. When I arrived, she asked me to see whether the bird was 【8】(my). I had a better idea 【9】 (identify) Dachi and began to whistle the “Happy Birthday” song.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Whether we notice it or not, our child is a little reflection of ourselves. They grow up looking more and more like us. They even have similar personalities and hobbies. And in some cases, the standard of choosing a good friend. One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. “Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own childhood best friend, Susan. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day. In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible. Whenever I thought of him, tears came into my eyes. The next day Jane brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Smith.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Jo. My mom will pick me up 2 hours later.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: I was puzzled because my daughter’s new friend looked so familiar. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two hours passed really quickly, and there was a knock on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
