The Need to Remember
Some people say they have no memory at all: "I just can't remember a thing!” But of course we all have a memory. Our memory tells us who we are. Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.
In fact we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture.
Our verbal (言語的) memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates , or a recipe.
With our emotional (情感的) memory, we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements.
We have two ways of storing any of these memories: Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial. Our long–term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance (記憶) of when they were very young.
Psychologists tell us that we only remember few facts about our past, and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past or maybe victims needing sympathy (同情).
16. Visual memory helps us recall a place we have been to.
A Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
17. Visual memory may be used when we read a story.
A Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
18. Verbal memory helps us read words we have never heard.
A Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
19. Emotional memory is used when we perform physical movements.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
20. Animals do not have a long-term memory.
A Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
21. Long-term memory is more important than short-term memory.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
22. Generally we remember only a few facts about the past.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned 第三部分：概括大意與完成句子(第23～30題，每題1分，共8分)

Unlocking the Human Genome (基因組)
1. A project to unlock secrets-what scientist could resist that challenge?
This is what many scientists are doing as they work on the Human Genome Project. The aim of the project is to decode (破譯) all of the some 100,000 genes in the human body. Scientists are using DNA fingerprinting techniques to do the decoding.
2. DNA is the substance found in the chromosomes (染色體) of a cell. A chromosome is a chain of genes. Each gene carries a piece of genetic information, At any one moment in a cell, thousands of genes are turned on and off to produce proteins (蛋白質(zhì)) .The challenge for scientists is to find out what role each gene plays in protein production. At some point this decoding will be complete. Then scientists will have a map of an ideal genome, or a picture of the total genetic nature of a human being. The ideal genome is called a consensus (交感) genome. Everything works well in a consensus genome.
3. ut no one in the world has a consensus genome, Everyone's genome is different from the ideal. These differences are referred to as genetic mutations (突變) .Genetic mutations in a person's genome mean that the person has a greater than average chance of suffering from health problems. Some problems are not life-threatening. These would include things like colorblindness, or mild headaches. Other problems are serious, such as heart disease, or cancer.
4. It will take years to identify the role of each of the 100,000 genes, The short-term goal of the project is to find the physical and mental health problems a person is likely to encounter during his or her lifetime. The long-term goal is to have each person live a longer, healthier life.

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題，每題后面有4個(gè)選項(xiàng)。請(qǐng)仔細(xì)閱讀短文并根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題，從4個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇1個(gè)最佳答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
第一篇
Are you a real grump (脾氣壞的人) in the mornings? Do you wake up every day feeling tired, angry and upset, and all too ready to flit the snooze (瞌睡) button? If so, then a new alarm clock could be just for you.
The clock, called Sleep Smart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits for you to be in your lightest phase of sleep before waking you up, Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed (恢復(fù)精力) every morning.
As you sleep you pass through a sequence of sleep states light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep (快速眼動(dòng)睡眼) that repeats approximately every 90 minutes. The points in that cycle at which you wake can affect how you feel later, and may even have a greater impact than how long or little you have slept. Being wakened during a light phase means you are more likely to wake up cheerful and full of life and interest.
Sleep Smart records the distinct pattern of brain waves produced during each phase of sleep, via a headband equipped with electrodes (電極) and a microprocessor. This measures electric activity of the wearer's brain, and communicates wirelessly with a clock unit near the bed. You program the clock with the latest time at which you want to be wakened, and it then at the proper time wakes you during the last light sleep phase before that.
The concept was invented by a group of students at Brown University in Rhode Island after a friend complained of waking up tired and performing poorly on a test. "As sleep-deprived (剝奪) people ourselves, we started thinking of what to do about it," says Eric Shashoua, a recent college graduate and now chief executive officer of Axon Sleep Research Laboratories, a company created by the students to develop their idea. They have almost finished a prototype and plan to market the product by next year.
31. Sleep Smart is a clock that
A．enables you to go to sleep.
B．enables you to sleep deeply.
C．enables you to get up early.
D．wakes you up during your last light sleep phase
32. As you sleep, the headband
A．a(chǎn)nalyses your sleep cycle every 90 minutes.
B．records the time when you fall into deep sleep.
C．communicates wirelessly with a computer
D．measures the electric activity of your brain.
33. What should the sleeper do to make the device work?
A．He should press the snooze button in time,
B．He should turn on the microprocessor in the clock.
C．He should set the latest time for waking up.
D．He should adjust his headband.
34. The idea of making such a clock was developed by a group of
A．students at Brown University.
B．teachers at Brown University.
C．sleep-deprived scientists.
D．former engineers at Axon Sleep Research Laboratories.
35. The word “prototype” (paragraph 5) means
A．“form”.
B．“model”.
C．“brand”.
D．“cycle”.
After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudian accent suddenly becomes hard to understand after the clarity of his words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid - hours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a tele-commuter (遠(yuǎn)程交談?wù)?. I submit articles and edit them via E-mail and communicate with. colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriends lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.
If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard (暴風(fēng)雪)of ' 96 on IV.
But after awhile, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I've merged with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node (節(jié)點(diǎn)) on the Net. Others on linereport the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It' s like attending an A.A．meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance, a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction (網(wǎng)上交流),coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs soothe (安慰) me, but then I' m jarred (使感到不快)by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or compulsively (強(qiáng)制性地) needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline,”“Frontline,”“Nightline,” CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work movers from foreground to background.
36. Compared with the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent is
A．obscure.
B．distinct.
C．unreal.
D．misleading.
37. The passage implies that the writer and her boyfriend live in
A．England.
B．different countries.
C．the same city.
D．the same country.
38. Living alone in a house, the writer seems to
A．have totally forgotten her work.
B．be afraid of her neighbors.
C．get some comfort from TV programs.
D．have gone crazy.
39. We learn from the passage that the writer
A．is fed up with the Net opponents.
B．prefers people to the computer.
C．is addicted to the computer.
D．does not like human contact.
40. The phrase “coming back out of the cave” in the fifth paragraph means
A．“coming back home”.
B．“giving up the present job”.
C．“living a lnxurious life”.
D．“restoring real human contact”.
Until recently, the "science of the future" was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in technology will be brought through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This combination is the science of biotechnology.
Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic(合成的)materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects.
Nevertheless. scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in "growing" a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. The next step may well be "biotech hearts and eyes" which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the body, as is the case with organs from humans.
The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996 the famous science. fiction writer, Arthur C．Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true. said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means .creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic(災(zāi)難性的)levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.
It is attempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve our problems. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way.
41. According to the passage, the science of the future is likely to be
A．electronics.
B．biotechnology.
C．genetic engineering.
D．nuclear technology.
42. Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are
A．a(chǎn)s good as wool.
B．a(chǎn)s good as an insect’s body.
C．not as good as natural materials.
D．better than natural materials.
43. According to the passage, it may soon be possible
A．to make something as good as human skin.
B．to produce drugs without side effects.
C．to transplant human organs.
D．to make artificial hearts and eyes.
44. In 1996. Arthur C．Clarke predicted that
A．biological power sources would be put into use soon.
B．oil, gas and coal could be repeatedly used in the future.
C．dependence on non-renewable power sources would be reduced soon
D．the Chernobyl disaster would happen in two years.
45. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Biotechnology can solve all our future energy problems.
B．Biological power is cheaper than nuclear power.
C．Biological power may not be as dangerous as nuclear power
D．Biological power will keep all its promises. 第五部分：補(bǔ)全短文(第46～50題，每題2分，共10分)

Kimiko Fukuda, a Japanese girl, always wondered what her dog was trying to say. Whenever she put on makeup, it would pull at her sleeve.______ (46) When the dog barks, she glances at a small electronic gadget (裝置). The following "human" translation appears on its screen: "Please take me with you." "I realized that’s how he was feeling." said Fukuda.
The gadget is called Bowlingual, and it translates dog barks into feelings. People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world' s first dog-human translation machine in 2002. But 300,000 Japanese dog owners bought it._____(47)
"Nobody else had thought about it,” said Masahiko Kajita, who works for Takara" We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders: What would it be like if we could understand dogs?"
Bowlingual has two parts._____(48)The translation is done in the gadget using a database(資料庫)containing every kind of bark.
Based on animal behaviour research, these noises are divided into six categories: happiness, Sadness, frustration, anger, declaration and desire, _____
(49)In this way, the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion, which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.
When a visitor went to Fukuda’s house recently, the dog barked a loud "bow wow". This translated as “Don’t come this way"_____ (50)
The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120 It can store up to 100 barks, even recording the dog’s emotions when the owner is away.
A．wireless microphone is attached to the dog’s collar, which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.
B．Nobody really knows how a dog feels
C．It was followed by" I' m stronger than you" as the dog growled (嗥叫) and sniffed (嗅) at the visitor
D．More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer
E．Now, the Japanese girl thinks she knows
F．Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like” Let’s play”,” Look at me", or "Spend more time with me". 第六部分：完型填空(第51～65題，每題1分，共15分)

Today, high-tech warfare is no longer an abstract concept, but a real issue. Technology_____(51) tactics, sociology, and the development of weaponry (武器). It also causes the changes in battles. Then what are the new characteristics of modern battles_____ (52) by the application of high technologies?
High-Tech warfare naturally includes high technology. In modern battles, a single kind of weapon can hardly be_____ (53).
Various weaponry, such as intelligence detection and information processing, should_____(54) well with each other. Aerial (航空) weaponry becomes the main force in battles in the sky. Precision homing (精確自導(dǎo)) weaponry like cruise missiles and missiles______(55) satellite homing systems becomes the main attack weapons.
Battle control systems play a dominant role. Various weapons and logistics (后勤) systems are______(56) into a comprehensive framework, centrally representing the modern high-tech weaponry. Depending on various______(57) equipment and means in electronic warfare, our army will not be passively beaten. ______(58) the battlefield, high-tech warfare has created a type of non-linear (非線性的) chaos.
Because of the use of long-range precision weaponry, the opposite parties in warfare can’t “touch” or “see” each other, and distance is no longer the decisive factor affecting the ______ (59) of battles, it is hard to clearly define the lines between the frontier and the rear, as well as attack and defense. The traditional three-dimensional air-sea battlefield will be______ (60) by the multi-dimensional battlefield composed of air, sea, magnetic, electrical and information battlefields. No large-scale movements can be conducted______ (61).
Because modern weaponry systems are closely related to chains of demand and communication and electronic technology, the parties______(62) have to pay attention to the usufruct (使用權(quán)) and control of electromagnetic frequency spectrum, so electronic warfare becomes______(63) important and the necessary guarantee of victory. Whatever______(64) warfare goes to and whatever cloak (寬大外衣) it wears, it always violates peace and brings the world bloodshed (流血). Most people think of high technology as a______ (65) to enhance their lives, and they don't wish it to be used to destroy lives.
