①Memory is the ability (能力) to remember things. A good memory can help us do better in school，such as language-learning. A few people are born with amazing memories, but most people need to improve their memories by practising. Here are some secrets (秘密) about memories.
②We can still remember things happened in our childhood (童年) but not those last week. In fact, if the things have strong connections with our feelings in our mind, we can remember them longer. When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell us the interesting or funny stories from our childhood again and again. As a result, we remember them much better.
③It's natural for common people to forget the new words which they learnt yesterday. Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting carve. According to him, the quickest loss (失去) of memory happens during the first two days after learning. That means going over what we've learned during this time can help us very well to remember the information.
④A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn't mean his or her memory is getting worse. Our memory gets the top at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute. But after this age, the brain (大脑) starts to get smaller. By middle age, our memory is much worse than when we were young.
19．Why is it easier to remember things in our childhood
a. Because they were special. b. Because we got strong feelings from them.
c. Because they were helpful. d. Because we heard them many times.
A．ad B．bd C．ac D．bc
20．Which is the right picture for Hermann Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve
A． B．
C． D．
21．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．A person has his or her best memory at the age of 25.
B．A fifteen-year-old's memory is worse than a middle-aged man's.
C．A person's memory gets worse only because the brain gets smaller.
D．A child usually remembers over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute.
22．How is the passage organized
A． B．
C． D．

Once upon a time, there was a lake where a tortoise and two swans lived together. They were the best friends and spent many happy hours playing together.
To their bad luck, there was no rain that year. The lake became dry. So they had to leave the lake in search of another one to live.
The two swans could fly easily, but for the tortoise it was difficult. The three of them began to wonder (琢磨), unsure of what to do next.
At last, the two swans had an idea. They said to the tortoise, "We will place a stick in your mouth. We will carry the stick in our beaks (鸟嘴) on each side. This will make us fly together. But remember, you must not open your mouth. If you do, you know what will happen to you."
The tortoise was sad to leave the lake, but it agreed to the idea happily.
One fine morning, they took off and they were flying over a large town. The people of the town were surprised at what they saw in the sky. They were very curious (好奇的) about it and started shouting excitedly.

Unluckily, this made the stick out of its mouth and the tortoise fell down to the ground, and died.
The swans had no chance to save it. They were sad to lose their best friend but had to fly away and start their new life.
23．Why did the tortoise and swans have to leave their lake

B．Because the lake's water was getting less.

Dear Mr. Zhou,
I'm writing to share my idea about the use of the Students Activity Room. I think we'd better make it a playroom.
Students may feel sad and helpless when meeting troubles in life. If these problems aren't solved well, they may bring serious results. Then their grades will be worse and worse. So it is important for them to have a playroom to have fun.
To make it a better playroom, I have following advice. First, they can play enjoyable games such as playing chess as well as playing card games. Students can release pressure through games so that they can be happier. What's more, creating a movie corner also helps students relax themselves. They can indulge themselves in movies and chat with friends. Finally, there can be a music bar. Students can choose their favorite songs and sing loudly to relax themselves.
I can't wait to have a playroom in our school. I believe students are looking forward to it as well!
Yours,
Li Hua

①Memory is the ability (能力) to remember things. A good memory can help us do better in school，such as language-learning. A few people are born with amazing memories, but most people need to improve their memories by practising. Here are some secrets (秘密) about memories.
②We can still remember things happened in our childhood (童年) but not those last week. In fact, if the things have strong connections with our feelings in our mind, we can remember them longer. When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell us the interesting or funny stories from our childhood again and again. As a result, we remember them much better.
③It's natural for common people to forget the new words which they learnt yesterday. Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting carve. According to him, the quickest loss (失去) of memory happens during the first two days after learning. That means going over what we've learned during this time can help us very well to remember the information.
④A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn't mean his or her memory is getting worse. Our memory gets the top at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute. But after this age, the brain (大脑) starts to get smaller. By middle age, our memory is much worse than when we were young.
19．Why is it easier to remember things in our childhood
a. Because they were special. b. Because we got strong feelings from them.
c. Because they were helpful. d. Because we heard them many times.
A．ad B．bd C．ac D．bc
20．Which is the right picture for Hermann Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve
A． B．
C． D．
21．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．A person has his or her best memory at the age of 25.
B．A fifteen-year-old's memory is worse than a middle-aged man's.
C．A person's memory gets worse only because the brain gets smaller.
D．A child usually remembers over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute.

19．细节理解题。根据第二段When things happen...we remember them much better.（当事情第一次发生时，孩子们往往会有强烈的感情。此外，父母一次又一次地告诉我们童年有趣或滑稽的故事。因此，我们对他们的记忆要好得多。）可知，童年的事情更容易记住是因为我们从他们那里得到了强烈的感情和我们听过很多次。故选B。
20．推理判断题。根据第三段According to him, the quickest loss (失去) of memory happens during the first two days after learning.（据他介绍，记忆最快的丧失发生在学习后的前两天。）可知，艾宾浩斯认为，学习后的前两天是记忆力丧失最快的时候，结合图片可知，选项C符合赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯的遗忘曲线。故选C。
21．细节理解题。根据第四段 Our memory gets the top at the age of 25. 可知，我们的记忆力在25岁时达到顶峰。故选A。

To their bad luck, there was no rain that year. The lake became dry. So they had to leave the lake in search of another one to live.
The two swans could fly easily, but for the tortoise it was difficult. The three of them began to wonder (琢磨), unsure of what to do next.
At last, the two swans had an idea. They said to the tortoise, "We will place a stick in your mouth. We will carry the stick in our beaks (鸟嘴) on each side. This will make us fly together. But remember, you must not open your mouth. If you do, you know what will happen to you."
The tortoise was sad to leave the lake, but it agreed to the idea happily.
One fine morning, they took off and they were flying over a large town. The people of the town were surprised at what they saw in the sky. They were very curious (好奇的) about it and started shouting excitedly.
The tortoise heard the noise and wondered what it was about. It forgot its promise and opened its mouth to ask curiously. "Why is there... Ah...!"
Unluckily, this made the stick out of its mouth and the tortoise fell down to the ground, and died.
The swans had no chance to save it. They were sad to lose their best friend but had to fly away and start their new life.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Mr. Zhou,
I'm writing to share my idea about the use of the Students Activity Room. I think we'd better make it a playroom.
Students may feel sad and helpless when meeting troubles in life. If these problems aren't solved well, they may bring serious results. Then their grades will be worse and worse. So it is important for them to have a playroom to have fun.
To make it a better playroom, I have following advice. First, they can play enjoyable games such as playing chess as well as playing card games. Students can release pressure through games so that they can be happier. What's more, creating a movie corner also helps students relax themselves. They can indulge themselves in movies and chat with friends. Finally, there can be a music bar. Students can choose their favorite songs and sing loudly to relax themselves.
I can't wait to have a playroom in our school. I believe students are looking forward to it as well!
Yours,
Li Hua
