There are many techniques you can use to improve your memory.Some of them are introduced here. First and foremost，you need to stimulate your memory all the time.To put it simply，you should use your memory as much as possible.It is especially important to try to learn something new.If you work in an office，learn to dance；if you are a dancer，learn to deal with a computer；if you work with sales，learn to play chess；if you are a programmer，learn to paint.These added activities stimulate the brain so that it continues to function.
Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with.Don't try to memorize everything that catches your attention；focus on what you consider important；for example，you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it.Think about its various characteristics：its material，its function，its colour，and so on.Don't allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating on that pen.
Another method that can be used is to relax.It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So try holding your breath for ten seconds，and then release it slowly.
Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example，if you cannot remember a person's name，you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his name. 答案 1.B 2.C 3.A 4.B 5.C 6.A 7.B 8.C 9.C 10．B 11.B 12.A 13.C 14.A 15.B 16.C 17.A 18.A 19.C 20.A

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
Traditional rubbish collection is dirty，smelly，labor-intensive，and rubbish can pile up in basements
or wooden bins.This new system does away with all that and with lots of expensive bin lorries. “Nobody sees anything happening，there's no bins，there's no trucks on street，there's no boxes，there is no kids on the bikes trying to fight with dust cars going up on the street.It's safe，it's clean，and it's healthy for everybody.”
This is how it works：you sort your rubbish into special containers in your kitchen，then take the bags to one of these.They drop down into the building's basement.Twice a day，a powerful vacuum sucks them away to a collection centre down a single pipe.First，the food waste，then general rubbish，then stuff for recycling，like paper and cans.
In the past thirty years，the system's been equipped around the world，from Stockholm to Barcelona，Disneyland to Dubai，but never in the UK.One problem：it's expensive.Local councils don't pay the cost of equipment.The developer here next to Wembley Stadium，says it makes sense partly because this development is the size of a small town.
“We own the entire site，the 85 acres and all the roads.And that's the fundamental that we control the public ground.And we take a benefit of that because our public ground's going to be great as a consequence of this system.”
“And this is where it ends up，the central collection centre.That great big green pipe is the outlet from the underground network and laid in all the roads around here.These great big things are essentially enormous intensive vacuum cleaner that will swirl(使旋转)the rubbish around，the air，goes off to the top.The waste goes down to the bottom and then it is shifted to one of these containers where it can be put on to a lorry and taken away.”Environmentally，it's claimed the systems are great improvement，but it has a challenge.
【解题导语】 本文介绍新型垃圾处理方法及优点：省时、节约、卫生，整个城市垃圾都从管道真空吸进垃圾处理中心后分类处理。从环境保护看这种处理方法有很大改进。但也是很大的挑战。
56．Which of the followings about the new collection system is WRONG according to the passage? A．High price. B．Labor consumption. C．Big size. D．Good safety.
答案 B [细节判断题。第一段比较传统的垃圾处理和新的垃圾处理系统的不同特点。新的垃圾处理没有传统垃圾处理的脏、臭、耗劳力等特点，所以新垃圾处理耗费劳力是与选项B中的叙述相矛盾。故B为正确答案。此题难度中等。] 57．Which is the right order when the new system works?
A．Sort rubbish—put rubbish bags in basement—suck rubbish by a vacuum—shift to containers B．Put rubbish bags in basement—suck rubbish by a vacuum—sort rubbish—shift to containers C．Sort rubbish—shift to containers—suck rubbish by a vacuum—put rubbish bags in basement
D．Suck rubbish by a vacuum—sort rubbish—shift to containers—put rubbish bags in basement 答案 A [细节把握题。第三段说明这套垃圾处理系统的工作流程：分类垃圾——送入地下室——真空管吸到收集中心——分装至不同容器。A项为正确答案。此题难度偏大。] 58．According to the passage，the challenge of the new system is________. A．to work economically
B．to take up the size of a small town C．to equip itself in the UK D．to be environmentally friendly
答案 A [细节把握题。短文第四段介绍尽管这种处理系统在过去三十年里世界各地均有安装使用，而英国没装，一个问题是太贵！短文最后一句从环境角度看这一系统有很大改进。但也有挑战。这里的挑战从经济角度讲运行成本高。此题难度很大。] 59．Which place hasn't been equipped with the new system? A．Stockholm. B．Barcelona. C．Dubai. D．UK. 答案 D [由第四段第一句可知选D。]
B
The concept of solar power satellites，or SPS，first put forward in the 1960s，is still not widely known by the general public.For example at many public exhibitions about Energy，SPS is not even mentioned.This is mainly because very little funding has been spent on SPS research to date—about 1/1000 of 1% of the approximately US $1 trillion that governments have spent subsidizing(补助)the development of nuclear power over the past 50 years.
There are critics who claim that SPS is unrealistic—because launch costs are much too high today；or because microwave beams will set fire to cities；or because it's too futuristic(未来的)．So why do we believe that it is important to continue to do research on SPS？The reason is very simple. Humans are going to need enormous amounts of electric power in coming decades.Within 50 years the world population is expected to double，while economic growth will continue around the world，especially in the poorer countries.But existing energy sources already face serious problems.They're limited；they're polluting；they're dangerous.So 50 years from now,100 years from now，where is our power going to come from？Nobody knows.And so we believe that new large-scale possibilities should be studied further.
We must remember that humans have some choice concerning our future.To some extent we can choose the direction in which our civilization develops.And choices that are made in the coming decades—such as the energy sources that we will or will not use—will have major，long-term influence on human life on Earth.We believe that，provided that research continues to show that SPS
is environmentally and economically attractive，SPS will open the door to a much more attractive future for human civilization than any groundbased energy source；and one that the public will support；and that young people will find challenging and exciting.Furthermore energy from SPS can be readily used in developing countries，as the SPS 2000 project will demonstrate，thereby aiding economic development worldwide.In addition，by creating large commercial revenues(税收)for space engineering，SPS will open the frontier of space to economic development，thereby creating a limitless new field for growth of the world economy.
【解题导语】 什么是SPS？本文主要讲述了研究SPS的重要性以及其深远的意义。 60．What's the author's attitude toward the research on SPS? A．Critical. B．Puzzled. C．Neutral. D．Positive.
答案 D [全篇文章作者的语气及解说为什么要研究SPS都流露出对SPS的支持，尤其最后一段中说明它会带来世界经济的增长。因此作者的态度是positive“积极的；肯定的”。] 61．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．The future energy—SPS B．The concept of SPS C．Humans and SPS D．Advantages of SPS
答案 A [文章首先提出SPS的概念，接着提出批评者的观点，引出研究SPS的重要性以及其深远的意义。A项概括了文章主旨。]
62．It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A．SPS has been understood by most people B．SPS can benefit environment and economy C．SPS is being used in developing countries D．SPS research has cost too much money
答案 B [根据最后一段中“We believe that，provided that research continues to show that SPS is environmentally and economically attractive.”可知，目前研究表明SPS对环境和经济有利。] 63．What's the main idea of the third paragraph? A．Present energy sources face serious problems. B．Where to get energy sources in the future.
C．The importance of controlling the world population. D．The importance of exploring new energy sources.
答案 D [第3段论述了我们人类今后需要更多的能源，而世界人口在增长，贫穷国家需要发展，现有能源面临严重问题，所以我们要考虑研究探索其他的新能源。因此D项为最佳答
案。]
C
What will the city of the future be like？No one knows for sure，and making predictions is a risky business.But one thing is certain about the future city—they are going to get bigger before they get smaller.Here are some of the ideas for running a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025.
1．To get rid of garbage problems，the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun，preventing landfill and environmental problems. 2．No smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits.
3．In the future all shopping will be done online，and catalogues will have voice commands to place orders.
4．Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.
5．All forms of recreation，such as cinemas，bowling，concerts and others，will be provided free of charge by the city.
6．All cars will be powered by electricity，solar energy or wind，and it will be possible to change the color of cars at the flick of a switch.
7．Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away，with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.
8．Old people and people with disabilities will be able to go anywhere in the world using high-tech cameras attached to their heads.
9．Traveling in space by ordinary citizens will be common.Each city will have its own spaceport. 64．From the passage，we can infer that now________.
A．some waste materials are got rid of by filling holes in the ground with them B．a patient can have an operation but doesn't have to stay in hospital C．you must go out of the city if you want to smoke D．no cars are powered by solar energy or wind
答案 A [推理判断题。根据To get rid of garbage problems，the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun，preventing landfill and environmental problems.可知垃圾运到太空中可防止垃圾填埋现象，由此推知A项正确。]
65．According to the passage，in the future we can do all of the following EXCEPT that________. A．we can forget the malls，supermarkets，or shops B．everyone can keep a telephone number all his life C．the colors of our cars are always changing D．ordinary people can travel in space
答案 C [细节理解题。根据文中的All cars will be powered by electricity，solar energy or wind，and it will be possible to change the color of cars at the flick of a switch.可知改变汽车颜色需按开关，所以C项不是原文提到的内容。]
66．The underlined word “recreation” in the fifth idea probably means “ ________”． A．risky business
B．what people will create again C．taking one's career once again D．activities for pleasure and amusement
答案 D [词义猜测题。从such as后列举的cinemas，bowling，concerts and others可知该词意为“娱乐活动”。]
D
The world is not coming to an end on December 21,2012，the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie. The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture,2012，arrives in theaters on Friday，with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths(虚构的故事)backed by the Mayan calendar.It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X—or Nibiru—heads toward or collides with the Earth.
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet's existence，but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧)”．“There is no factual basis for these claims，”NASA said in a question-and-answer posting on its website.“If such a collision were real，astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade，and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.Obviously，it does not exist.Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，”it insisted.“After all，our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，”added NASA.
There is another planet，Eris，floating in space.But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth，according to NASA.
Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003，but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar. NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21,2012，as another period begins immediately afterward.
And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast，the effect on our planet would be “negligible”，NASA said.
“And while comets and asteroids(小行星)have always hit the Earth，big hits are very rare，”NASA noted.The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.
“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，”the space agency said.

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。 Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.__71__ Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that's not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.__72__ Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save.__73__Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment(投资). However, it's important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.
__74__Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. __75__If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers choose to use the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart. A．A carefully planned list should include in season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons(优惠卷)．
B．Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist the temptation to buy additional items.

Now I don't watch televisions，but a few years ago I watch it every night.In those days I was not a bit tired after a day's work，so watch TV became my favorite pastime.Unfortunate，there were too many people among my family.Some wanted to see one programme while others preferred other.I was happy with any programme but the others spent a lot time arguing with one after another and there was no way of settling the matter except by selling the set.Now someone at home reads instead.

第一处 注意watch TV是指看电视节目内容，并不是看电视机，所以这里不能使用名词的复数形式。
第二处 本句的时间状语a few years ago说明这里要使用的是一般过去时。
第三处 注意not a little＝very，而not a bit应为“一点也没有”，结合语境，作者应该是很累。 第四处 动词原形不能充当主语，应该改成动名词形式，或者也可以用不定式作主语。 第五处 这里需要一个副词表示不幸的事情。
第六处 这里指的是范围，而不是成员关系，所以不能使用among，而是in。 第七处 注意one和another对应，另外another常用来泛指同一类中的任何一个。 第八处 这里考查到了a lot of的用法。a lot of修饰名词，而a lot修饰动词。
第九处 one another表示的是彼此之间的关系，而one after another表示“一个接一个”，显然不合语境。
第十处 这里说的是大家现在打发时间的方法，是针对the family的任何一个成员来说的。

Different people have different opinions.I think Confucian thought still has some positive effects on our society.
