18．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（额外的） learning trials（尝试）increase the length（长度） 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（例外） to the general rule that 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．

12．The author explains the law of overlearning byD．
A．presenting research findings
B．setting down general rules
C．making a comparison
D．using examples
13．According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables isA．
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
14．What does the word"they"in Paragraph 4refer to？B
A．Commonly accepted rules．
B．The multiplication tables．
C．Things easily forgotten．
D．School subjects．
15．What is the author's opinion on cramming？B
A．It leads to failure in college exams．
B．It's helpful only in a limited way．
C．It's possible to result in poor memory．
D．It increases students'learning interest．

5．Western civilization has been deeply influenced by Greek Culture．Many words from Greek mythology （神话） contributed to English vocabulary today．Greek mythology tells of the myths of ancient Greece，concerning its gods，heroes and the nature of the world．It attempts to explain the origin of the world and the adventures and lives of the gods，heroes and natural creatures．The following words exactly come from Greek mythology．
Echo； Narcissus
Echo was a fairy （仙女）．She got the punishment of saying nothing but repeat others，last sentence said to her because she kept talking and talking before．Echo fell in love with Narcissus，but she was refused．Narcissus told Echo never to fall in love with him．Depressed and heartbroken by the hopeless love，Echo died，leaving"I fall in love with you"echoing in the cave．Nemesis，the god of revenge，determined to punish Narcissus for his coldness by making Narcissus love his own reflection in water．Finding it impossible to get together with his image，Narcissus died with sadness and transformed into a daffodil （水仙花） by the riverside．
Daphne
Daphne，one daughter of a river-god，was shot by Cupid's lead arrow．Cupid，the god of love，shot a golden arrow at Apollo，the god of the sun，which made Apollo fall in love with Daphne．Crazily chased by Apollo，Daphne had no way to escape．However，Daphne was too shy to accept Apollo，so she begged to have her transformed into a laurel （月桂树）．In English，Daphne refers to laurel．There also exists an idiom"as shy as Daphne"．
Atlas
Atlas was one of the Greek gods．Because he offended （冒犯） Zeus，the ruler of Gods and men，Atlas was ordered to carry the sky cm his shoulder．A Belgium geographer used Atlas to name his collection of maps with the pictures of Atlas who was carrying the Earth in it．Later，people refer to Atlas as the collection of maps．

A．The origin of the world．
B．The nature of the world．
C．People's lives of ancient Greece．
D．The adventures and lives of the gods and heroes．

B．Because she talked too much．
C．Because she fell in love with Narcissus．
D．Because she was too shy to accept Apollo．
18．D is referred to as the collection of maps．
A．Daphne
B．Echo
C．Narcissus
D．Atlas．

15．You may have heard some of the fashion industry horror stories：models eating tissues or cotton balls to hold off hunger，and models collapsing （昏倒） from hunger-induced （因饥饿所致的） heart attacks just seconds after they step off the runway （T台）．
Excessively skinny models have been a point of controversy （争论） for decades，and two researchers say a model's body mass （体重） should be a workspace health and safety issue．In an editorial released Monday in the American Journal of Public Health，Katherine Record and Bryn Austin made their case for government regulation of the fashion industry．
The average international runway model has a body mass index（BMI）under 16-low enough to indicate starvation by the World Health Organization's standard．And Record and Austin are worried not just about the models themselves，but about the vast number of girls and women their images influence．
"Especially girls and teens，"says Record．"Seventy percent of girls aged 10 to 18 report that they define perfect body image based on what they see in magazines．"That's especially worrying，she says，given that anorexia（厌食症） results in more deaths than does any other mental illness，according to the National Institute of Mental Health．
It's commonly known that certain diseases are linked with occupations like lung disease in coal miners．Professional fashion models are particularly vulnerable （脆弱的） to eating disorders （失调） resulting from occupational demands to maintain extreme thinness．
Record's suggestion is to prohibit agents from hiring models with a BMI below 18．
In April，France passed a law setting lower limits for a model's weight．Agents and fashion houses who hire models with BMI under 18 could pay $ 82，000 in fines and spend up to 6 months in jail．Regulating the fashion industry in the United States won't be easy，Record says．But with the new rules in France，U．S．support could make a difference．"A designer can't survive without participating in Paris Fashion Week"，she says，adding，"Our argument is that the same would be true of New York Fashion Week．"

32．What do Record and Austin say about fashion models'body mass？B
A．It has caused needless controversy．
B．It affects models'health and safety．
C．It is but a matter of personal taste．
D．It is focus of the modeling business．
33．What are Record and Austin advocating in the Monday editorial？D
A．Prohibition of models eating non-food stuff．
B．A change in the public's view of female beauty．
C．Elimination （淘汰） of forced weight loss by models．
D．Government legislation （立法） about models'weight．
34．Why are Record and Austin worried about the low body mass index of models？C
A．It contributes to many mental illnesses．
B．It defines the future of the fashion industry．
C．It has great influence on numerous girls and women．
D．It keeps many otherwise qualified women off the runaway．
35．What do we learn about France's fashion industry？B
A．It has difficulty hiring models．
B．It has now a new law to follow．
C．It allows girls under 18 on the runway．
D．It has overtaken that of the United States．

2．Most episodes （片段） of absent-mindedness-forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention．"says Schacter．"You're supposed to remember something，but you haven't encoded it deeply．"
"Encoding"，Schacter explains，"is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major effect on remembering it later．Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations．If you put your mobile phone in a pocket，for example，and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation，you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe（衣柜）．""Your memory itself isn't failing you，"says Schacter．"Rather，you didn't give your memory system the information it needed．"
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness．"A man who can recite sports statistics from 30years ago，"says Zelinski，"may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox．"Women have slightly better memories than men，possibly because they pay more attention to their environment．And memory depends on just that．
"Reminders can help prevent absent-mindedness，"says Schacter．"But be sure the reminder is clear and available，"he says．If you want to remember to take medicine with lunch，put it on the kitchen table-don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket．
Another common episode of absent-mindedness：walking into a room and wondering why you're there．Most likely，you were thinking about something else．"Everyone does this from time to time，"says Zelinski．The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room，and you'll likely remember．

32．Why does the writer think that encoding is important？B
A．It helps us understand our memory system better．
B．It enables us to remember something from our memory．
C．It expands our memory ability greatly．
D．It slows down the process of losing our memory．
33．Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder？C
A．Because it will easily get lost．
B．Because it's not dear enough for you to read．
C．Because it's out of your sight．
D．Because it might get mixed up with other things．
34．What do we learn from the last paragraph？C
A．If we pay more attention to one thing，we might forget another．
B．Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment．
C．Doing something again helps improve our memory．
D．If we keep forgetting things，we'd better return to where we were．
35．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．The process of gradual memory loss．
B．The causes of absent-mindedness．
C．The influence of the environment on memory．
D．A way of encoding and remembering．

19．RED lanterns adorn（点缀） the aisles of a small supermarket．There are stacks of red envelopes on sale，for stuffing cash in and handing out as gifts．A sign offers seasonal discounts．Such festive trappings are quite common in China in the build-up to the lunar New Year，which this year starts on January 28th．But this is Yangon，the capital of Myanmar，where Han Chinese are a mere 2.5% of the country's population．They are a sign that Chinese New Year is becoming a global holiday．
Several countries in Asia celebrate the lunar New Year in their own way．But dragon and lion dances in Chinatowns the world over have helped to make China's the most famous．These days growing numbers of people who are not of Chinese descent are joining in．In Tokyo window cleaners dress up as the animals of the Chinese zodiac（十二生肖）．Barcelona's Chinese parade includes dracs （a Catalan species of dragon）．America，Canada and New Zealand have issued commemorative stamps for the year of the chicken．Last year New York City made the lunar New Year a school holiday for the first time．
The spread of the spring festival，as China calls it，is partly due to recent emigration from China：9.5million Chinese people have moved abroad since 1978，many of them far richer than earlier waves of migrants．It also reflects the wealth and globe-trotting ambitions of China's new middle class：festivities in other countries are partly aimed at the 6million Chinese who are expected to spend their weeklong holiday abroad this year．International brands are trying to lure these big spenders with chicken-themed items．
Conscious of China's growing economic and political clout，foreign leaders have taken to noting the occasion．Britain's Prime Minister，Theresa May，has given a video address，a tradition started in 2014by her predecessor，David Cameron．Last year the country's royal family tweeted a picture of Queen Elizabeth dotting the eye of a Chinese lion-dancer's costume．Also in 2016，Venezuela's culture minister admitted that his country was celebrating Chinese new year for the first time-with six weeks of festivities-in a bid to improve economic ties with China．It is rumored that this year's World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year．
China also sponsors related events，such as a display this year of martial arts in Cyprus and a traditional Chinese temple-fair in Harare，Zimbabwe．It may give Chinese officials satisfaction to see foreigners enjoy such festivities．They lament the growing enthusiasm among Chinese for Western celebrations such as Christmas-in December cities across China are bedecked with Santas and snowflake decorations．Chinese New Year is a welcome chance to reverse the cultural flow．

66．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Many countries in Asia are similar to each other in celebrating the Chinese lunar New Year．
B．This year's World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year．
C．Venezuela is the first country in South America to celebrate the Chinese spring festiva．
D．Partly owing to recent emigration from China，the Chinese spring festival could be spread worldwide．

68．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in Para 3？A

69．The sentence"China hopes the festival will boost its cultural'soft power'abroad．"should be put at the beginning of ParagraphD．
A．Two        B．Three         C．Four     D．Five
70．Why are Chinese officials please to see foreigners enjoy Chinese new year festivities？C
A．Because these activities are beneficial to improving economic ties with foreign countries．
B．Because these activities can bring about large amounts of money．
C．Because these activities offer a chance to promote Chinese culture．
