四、阅读理解（共5篇短文，每篇短文4个题，每题2分，共40分）
A
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule.we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development
56. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1 ?
A. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember
57. The author explains the law of overlearning by _______.
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rules
C. using examples
D. making a comparison
58. According to the author, today we are able to use multiplication tables because it’s_______
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
59. What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams.
B. It increases students' learning interest.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory.
D. It's helpful only in a limited way.
B
A recent research shows that the “short sleepers”had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at the age of 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as interruptions in their daily routines.
general, these “short sleepers”appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or worked full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “ normal ” or “ acceptable ” to their family, fiends and so on. When asked to recall their dreams, the “ short sleepers ” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar situation, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers “were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients.
The “ long sleepers “ were quite from different indeed. The research shows that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally robbed of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “ short sleepers “.
60. According to the report, _____.
A. many “ short sleepers ” needed less sleep before they were teenagers
B. many “ short sleepers ” were forced to reduce their nightly sleep time
C. many “ long sleepers ” were quite concerned when they slept 9 hours
D. many “ long sleepers ”had kept their sleeping habits since childhood.
61. Many “ short sleepers ” were likely to hold the view that ______.
A. sleep could make people appear active and cheerful
B. sleep was the least important on their daily routines
C. they were acceptable to all their friends and family
D. they were less extreme than many mental patients
62. It can be concluded from the third paragraph that ______.
A. “ short sleepers ”dealt with the psychological trouble themselves
B. “ short sleepers ” were unwilling to face psychological problems
C. “ short sleepers ” shortened the sleeping time because of pressures
D. “ short sleepers ” would rather remember than forget their dreams
63. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To introduce the result of a recent research.
B. To advise people to sleep for a longer time.
C. To show the disadvantages of short sleeping.
C. To explain the advantages of long sleeping.
C
Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV, friend requests, exciting online games and your mobile – or would you easily survive?
Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos，a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. During the experiment，Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said：“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected. ”
During their 24-hour test，three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline，but of course，they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote：“Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how emp ty my life felt without the radio or newspapers. ”
From Caroline Scott，we read：“I didn’t expect it，but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a col d sweat like our lecturer expected us all to，but It’s not something l would like to do again！”
And Charlotte Gay wrote：“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social device，it’s my main access point of communication. ”
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
64. What can we learn about the volunteers?
A. Volunteers didn’t write down about their day offline.
B. Volunteers weren’t allowed to use any media for 24 hours.
C. Volunteers were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos.
D. Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment.
65. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings？
A. Anxious.
B. Lonely
C. Disconnected.
D. Despaired.
66. Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott？
A. The media ban affected his temperature.
B. His work went on smoothly without the media.
C. His work was carried on hard without the media.
D. His life was empty without the radio or newspapers.
67. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People should use the media devices reasonably.
B. People can easily survive the media devices addict.
C. People can spend more time sleeping in the future.
D. People spend about half the time using the media devices.
D

W:Don’t you have any good news?
M:No.Yesterday I had to stay after school,because I was talking during my biology class.
W:You’d better keep quiet in class.
M:Sometimes I do.The day before yesterday,I was very quiet during my history class and I still had to stay after class.
W:I don’t understand.
M:Because I fell asleep during the class,but it wasn’t my fault.The lesson was very dull.
W:I advise you to take school more seriously.If you don’t pass your exam,you’ll have to drop out and work as a result.
M:I don’t think that it makes much difference.If I have a job,I have to do dull work every day,but if I’m in school,I must listen to dull teachers every day.
