Additionally, technology has made education more accessible, breaking down geographical barriers and providing opportunities for remote learning. However, there are also concerns about the overreliance on technology in education, with some arguing that it may lead to reduced interpersonal skills and critical thinking abilities.

也许在此之前，就加强不同的民族和国家之间的联系而言，电视还从来没有像在最近的欧洲事件中起过如此大的作用。
47.多媒体集团在欧洲就像在其他地方一样越来越成功了。
这些集团把相互关系密切的电视台、电台、报纸、杂志、出版社整合到了一起。
48.仅这一点就表明在电视行业不是一个容易生存的领域。
这个事实通过统计数字一目了然，统计表明在80家欧洲电视网中1989年出现亏损的不少于50%。
49.创造一个尊重不同文化和传统的“欧洲统一体”绝非易事，需要战略性选择。
正是这些文化和传统组成了连接欧洲大陆的纽带。
50.在应付一个如此规模的挑战过程中，我们可以毫不夸张地说，“团结，我们就会站起来；分裂，我们就会倒下去。

I do know that this will bring about much trouble to you so that I write to you for my explanation.I decided to quit for some reasons as follows. To begin with, the job as an editor for the magazine Designs & Fashions is not suitable to me. What’s more, I am preparing for another degree and I prefer to further my study. Again, I apologize for my resignation to you!I am looking forward to your early reply.Sincerely yours,Li MingPart B (20 points)52.参考范文A Helpless FatherThe picture ironically shows that apitiable old man in rags is being helplessly kicked off by his three sons and a daughter, who all wear decent clothes. The father’s negligent children are all guarding their home gates lest their old father “roll into” their households. In other words, they four ignore their moral sense of assuming the responsibility for their old father even though they may be all living a satisfying life. That is a painful scene we often encounter in our daily life.Sad to say, the moral decline of the younger generations may be a rather explosive situation in our modern society. People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider and wider margins, as evidenced by the fourchildren’s decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically downgrading.Most people might have become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or the disadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one might even appear stupid or may even be distrusted.Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving help and love the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our government to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties. The last but not the least, our respect for age is an indication of the progress of human society, as imperatives of traditionsrequire. We sincerely wish that the old man could be welcome to any of the four households, elegantly dressed, and a smile on the face.2004Section I: Listening Comprehension (20 points)Part A (5 points)1. highlands2. 203. mild4.

Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters （毛衣）. Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the example are putting their lives in danger. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter （屠宰）. Now, it is likely that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No.” Develop your own sta ndards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove, have the courage to bowout gracefully. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet. 36.The main idea of this passage is that ______. A.in every school there is a “top” crowd that sets pace B.it is a mistake to follow the “top” crowd blindly C.at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong D.people who follow the “top” crowd are putting their lives in danger 37.The author disapproves of wearing red sweaters if ______. A.the crowd is wearing them B.one can’t afford themC.one doesn’t look good in redD.it is against school rules38.People who follow the “top” crowd blindly ______. A.are rebels （叛逆者） without a cause B.have no respect for their parents C.are good-for-nothings D.sometimes do things against their better judgment 39.The underlined phrase “to bow out” may probably mean ______. A.not to take p art B.to make an excuse C.to feel sorry D.to be ashamed40.The author urges the reader to ______. A.follow the crowdB.take the advice from the “top” crowdC.be independentD.do whatever he wants Passage 2 The fact that everybody enjoys a good mystery explains why magicians are such popular entertainers. We all know that a magician does not really depend on “magic” to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying watching a magician produce rabbits from a hat, swallow countless eggs, or saw（锯）his wife in two. Probably the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini who died in 1926. His real name was Enrich Weiss, but he adopted the name “Houdini” after reading a book which influenced him greatly. This had been written by a famous magician called Robert Houdini. Houdini mastered the art of escaping. He could freehimself from the tightest knots （最牢固的结）or the most difficult locks in seconds. Although no one really knows how he did this, there is no doubt that he had made a close study of every type of lock ever invented. He would carry a small steel needle-like tool fastened to his leg and he used this instead of a key. Houdini once asked the Chicago police to lock him in prison. They bound him in chains and locked him up, but he freed himself in an instant. The police accused him of having used a tool and locked him up again. This time he wore no clothes and there were chains round his neck, waist, wrists（手腕）,and legs; but he again escaped in a few minutes. Houdini had probably hidden his “needle” in a wax-like substance and dropped it on the floor in the passage（过道）.As he went past, he stepped on it so that it so that it stuck to （粘在）the bottom of his foot. His most famous escape, however, was altogether astonishing. He was heavily chained up and shut in an empty wooden box the lid of which was nailed down. The box was dropped into the sea in New York harbor. In one minute Houdini had swum to the surface. When the box was brought up, it was opened and the chains were found inside. 41. Magicians’ successful tricks mostly depend on the fact that they can ______.。

The Stranger Who Changed My LifeIt was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi，looking for a customer.

As always，I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments，he started saying，“How do you like driving a taxi?”‘s i t’s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“ What do you do?”I asked.“I am a doctor at N ew York Hospital. ”Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers andreceived very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，”Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a jobthis summer. is it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking,and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally,he said, “ Well,my studentshave a summer research project.

It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits andweight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I wasworried about my son’s weight. It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les.slikely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned tounhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets,and others even ate no food. So eatingdisorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughtersand focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight,” says Berge.Instead,she suggests,fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help themfeel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues. How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoidfocusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't comparethem with others. Ideally,both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible,choosethe parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.11.

You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake.Youcommitted plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend thatthey are yours. It' s not allowed in school,college,or beyond.②The word" plagiarism" comes from Latin. It means stealing a person' s ideas. But it' s notalways easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes,it's accidental. You really intendedto do your own work,yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just beinglazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places,you don't have to spend the time thinkingabout the subject,gathering your own thoughts about it,and then putting them into original words.Cut, paste, and you’re done.④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you’re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least,you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re olderand in college,some schools will kick out students who plagiarize. When you’re kicked out of onecollege,it can be hard to get into another.⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where theinformation comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that,you’re needto know the author,the title,and the date it was published. If you write something really great,maybesome day someone will quote you in a report.Task 116. Paragraph ①:17. Paragraph ②:1 8. Paragraph ③:19. Paragraph ④:20. Paragraph ⑤:Task 221.

1998年广东省普通高等学校本科插班生考试英语试题Part I Reading Comprehension(40%)Passage IThe computer is a wonderful machine.It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars.Today it has the greatest effect on science,industry,and business,but it is being used more in education and medicine.By the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone,even people in distant villages.It is a revolutionary invention.The oldest kind of computer is the abacus used in China since the sixth century.In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented,but the furst large,modern computer was built in 1937.A few years later a computer could do 5000 additions per second.Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds(毫微秒).Today most computers have a memory.They are getting smaller and smaller,and computing faster and faster.Even in a large computer,the part that does the actual computing is about the size of the end of a finger. Computers can do all kinds of work.When someone buys something in a department store,information about the sale goes into a computer,A scientist can talk to the computer about the rocks,and the computer answers the questions.A doctor can talk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient.If the doctor asks why,the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.When early humans began farming,it was a revolutionary change in human life.It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system(方法).In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do .This could be a frightening development.1.The computer is considered a wonderful machine because_____.A.it has effect on all aspects of man’s lifeB.it is widely used in education and medicineC.it has the function of an engineD.it is useful even in distant villages2.The abacus has been used in China for_____.A.some 5,000 yearsB.about 600 yearsC.nearly 1,000 yearsD.over 1,300 years3.The most important feature of a computer is that_____.A.it has a memoryB.it is small in sizeC.it computes fastD.it answers all kinds of

countriesC.people all over the worldD.people in the Western worldPassage 2In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for the family.Most men worked in an office,a factory,or some other place away from the home.Since the man earned the money,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,a house,and other family needs.The man made most of the decisions.He was the boss.In the traditional marriage,the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked the meals,cleaned house,washed the clothes,and did other household work.Her job at home was every important.In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind.The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children,or they may not.If they have children,the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time,or not at all.The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children.Or she may want to go to work.Men and Women now decide these things together in a marriage.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.6.Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A.Men worked at a job to earn money for family.B.The woman made most of decisions.C.The woman stayed at home to care

traditional marriage.B.Th e woman’s job at home was very important in the past.C.Many Americans still have a traditional marriage.D.Everyone tries to get married.Passage 3Did you know that the empty plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobiles parts?That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s?It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we thr ow away is a “natural resource”that,with recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new products.Unfortunately,America recycles only 10% of its rubbish,burns 10% and deposits 80% in waste desposal grounds,As a result,it is having to cope with a serious solid waste problem.Every year,Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish.Of that total,plastics make up less than 8%,paper about 36%,and glass and metal about 20%,all by weight.Plastics are naturally lighter,but still,when pressed together,accout for only about 20% by volume.As a result,in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000.In five years 2,000 more will close.In the process of finding solutions,some people have proposed to stop using plastics.Unfortunately,stop using plastics would do much harm and no good.We would lose all of the safety,health and convenience features of plastics.Besides,packaging would still be needed.A 1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used--the energy needed to produce other packaging,its cost,and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.Some Americans believe part of the answer to America’s waste problem lies in r ecycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.Today,recycling is on the rise.There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U.S.Many are beginning to recycle plastics.Right now,almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys,traffic signs,waste baskets,floor materials,and park benches.Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle.More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.11.What can’t the plastic soft drink bottles be turned into?A.Newspapers.B.Automobile parts.C.Toys.D.Traffic signs.12.Of all the rubbish in the U.S.,plastics account for_____by weight and_____by volume.A.20%; 20%B. 8%; 20%C.36%; 8%D.20%; 36%13.On average,waste plastics are_____other wastes.A.as heavy in density asB.heavier in density thanC.lighter in density thanD.the same by weight as14.In 5 years,the U.S.will have only_____waste disposal grounds.A.2,000B.6,000C.4,000D.18,50015.The author of this passage_____the proposal of stopping using plastices.A.says nothing aboutB.is sympathetic withC.agrees toD.disagrees toPassage 4There are two kinds of memory:short-term and rmation in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed.The information may be kept for days or weeks.However,information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds,usually by repeating the information over and over.The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,advanced,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English.Following the recording,the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered.Each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording.Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whethet,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_____.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students' ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept17.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.18.From Henning’s results we can see that_____.A.beginners have difficulty in distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is defficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning19.The word “subject” in the passage means_____.A.the college course the students takeB.the theme of the listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the student experimented on20.The passage centers on_____.A.memoryB.two kinds of memoryC.short-term memoryD.an experiment on studentsPart II.

广东省2023年专插本英语真题作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1[2023 Guangdong Provincial Specialized Undergraduate English Exam Essay]【Part I Writing (30 minutes)】Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: "The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Society". You should write at least 150 words and you should base your composition on the outline below (write your essay in about 200-250 words).Outline:1. Introduction: Explain what artificial intelligence is and its impact on society.2. Body:a. Positive effects of artificial intelligence on society.b. Negative effects of artificial intelligence on society.3. Conclusion: State your opinion on whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.【Sample Essay】The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on SocietyIn recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly prevalent in our society, revolutionizing many aspects of our daily lives. As a result, it has sparked both excitement and concern among the general population. In this essay, we will examine the influences of artificial intelligence on society, focusing on both the positive and negative effects.On the positive side, artificial intelligence has greatly enhanced the efficiency of various industries, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. AI-driven technologies enable faster and more accurate diagnoses in healthcare, improved financial forecasting in the banking sector, and the development of self-driving cars in transportation. Additionally, AI has significantly advanced the fields of robotics and automation, leading to increased productivity and reduced labor costs for businesses.However, the proliferation of artificial intelligence also raises several concerns. One major issue is the potential jobdisplacement caused by automation, which threatens the livelihoods of millions of workers. Furthermore, the use of AI in surveillance and data collection has raised privacy concerns, as individuals' personal information is at risk of being exploited by corporations and governments.In conclusion, while artificial intelligence brings numerous benefits to society, such as increased efficiency and productivity, it also poses risks in terms of job displacement and privacy infringement. As a result, it is crucial for policymakers and technologists to address these challenges and ensure that the benefits of AI outweigh the drawbacks. Ultimately, striking a balance between innovation and regulation will be key to harnessing the full potential of artificial intelligence for the betterment of society.篇2Guangdong Province 2023 Specialized Undergraduate English Writing TestSection A: CompositionPart I: Writing (30 minutes)Topic: The Influence of Technology on EducationWith the rapid development of technology, an increasing number of educational institutions are integrating technology into their teaching practices.

It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers’ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious.

To Lease(租赁) or Not to LeasePlanning to lease a car because you don't think you can afford to buy? Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the samecar, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back.Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease， therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later.Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.By now, the benefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model you can afford to buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no giving back, and that makes allthe difference.1.

1998年广东省普通高等学校本科插班生考试英语试题Part IReading Comprehension(40%)Passage IThe computer is a wonderful machine.It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars.Today it has the greatest effect on science,industry,and business,but it is being used more in education and medicine.By the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone,even people in distant villages.It is a revolutionary invention.The oldest kind of computer is the abacusused in China since the sixth century.In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented,but the furst large,modern computer was built in 1937.A few years later a computer could do 5000 additions per second.Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds(毫微秒).Today most computers have a memory.They are getting smaller and smaller,and computing faster and faster.Evenin a large computer,the part that does the actual computing is about the size of theend of a finger.Computers can do all kinds of work.When someone buys something in a department store,information about the sale goes into a computer,A scientist can talk tothe computer about the rocks,and the computer answers the questions.A doctor cantalk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient.If the doctor asks why,the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.When early humans began farming,itwas a revolutionary change in human life.Itwas hundreds of thousands of years laterthat people developed a writing system(方法).In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do .This could be a frightening development.1.The computer is considered a wonderful machine because_____.A.it has effect on all aspects of man’s lifeB.it is

for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have

away every daycan be turned into carpet or automobiles parts?That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s?It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we throw away is a “natural resource”that,wit h recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new products.Unfortunately,America recycles only 10% of its rubbish,burns 10% and deposits 80% in waste desposal grounds,As a result,it is having to cope with a serious solid waste problem.Every year,Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish.Of that total,plastics make up less than 8%,paper about 36%,and glass and metal about 20%,all by weight.Plastics are naturally lighter,but still,when pressed together,accout for only about 20% by volume.As a result,in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000.In five years 2,000 more will close.In the process of finding solutions,some people have proposed to stop using plastics.Unfortunately,stop using plastics would do much harm and no good.We would lose all of the safety,health and convenience features of plastics.Besides,packaging would still be needed.A 1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used--the energy needed to produce other packaging,its cost,and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.Some Americans believe part of the answer to America’s waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.Today,recycling is on the rise.There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U.S.Many are beginning to recycle plastics.Right now,almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys,traffic signs,waste baskets,floor materials,and park benches.Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle.More than 150 millionpounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.11.What can’t the plastic soft drink bottles be turned into?A.Newspapers.B.Automobile parts.C.Toys.D.Traffic signs.12.Of all the rubbish in the U.S.,plastics account for_____by weight and_____by volume.A.20%; 20%B.8%; 20%C.36%; 8%D.20%; 36%13.On average,waste plastics are_____other wastes.A.as heavy in density asB.heavier in density thanC.lighter in density thanD.the same by weight as14.In 5 years,the U.S.will have only_____waste disposal grounds.A.2,000B.6,000C.4,000D.18,50015.The author of this passage_____the proposal of stopping using plastices.A.says nothing aboutB.is sympathetic withC.agrees toD.disagrees to Passage 4There are two kinds of memory:short-term and rmation in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed.The information may be kept for days or weeks.However,information in short-term memory is kept for only a fewseconds,usually by repeating the information over and over.The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,advanced,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English.Following the recording,the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered.Each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording.Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whethet,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more oftheir mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_____.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students' ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept17.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.18.From Henning’s results we can seethat_____.A.beginners have difficulty in distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is defficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning19.The word “subject” in the passage means_____.A.the college course the students takeB.the theme of the listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the student experimented on欧阳音创编 2021.03.11 欧阳音创编2021.03.1120.The passage
