　　[2016·河南八市联考]A middle­aged man, dressed in an old brown coat, sat quietly on a park bench with a newspaper. He lost his job and life just seems so pointless. A dark cloud of hopelessness hung over his head.

　　A little girl with a toy bear in hand was playing nearby, whose parents were busy talking with other people. To his surprise, he witnessed the girl stray from the playground in the opposite direction of her parents. But her parents had no idea their daughter was running off in pursuit of a butterfly.

　　“Maybe there was a danger，” the man abandoned his paper and walked in the girl's direction. His walk turned into a jog. He didn't know what he did, but he knew he'd have to move more quickly. The girl's back was turned as she continued after the butterfly. He went into a full speed after the child.

　　“Look out! A speeding car！...” Luckily, she was within grasp. The man reached out， grabbed her arm quickly and pulled her back. The girl screamed in terror. But the noise of the busy streets served to mute her cries to those nearby.

　　“Let me go！” the girl shouted.

　　The man kept hold of her, knelt, and looked her in the eyes. “You should be more careful! Never play near the streets.”

　　“I'm sorry I frightened you. Just get back to your parents, kid.” He let go, fully expecting the girl to run away in tears, however, she stayed, staring fixedly at the ground.

　　“I'm sorry, mister. I had thought you were a bad man. My toy is now for you.”

　　“Look，” the man sighed, “No need to apologize. You are safer from now on.”

　　She started off, and then turned to wave before she continued back to her folks.

　　The man kept his eyes on her until she reached her parents. “Maybe life isn't so bad after all. At least there's still some beauty left in this city.”He thought and regained confidence towards life.

　　[2016·荆州中学质检]We take it for granted that with memory we can remember most of things which happened in our life. But it is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions (感知), the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.

　　Memory can be defined as the ability to keep information available for later use. It not only includes “remembering”

　　things like arithmetic (算术) or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.

　　Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity (容量) of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”—strings of alphabetic or numerical characters—ready for instant use. An average US teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 1,000,000 words of English. However, this is but a part of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.

　　The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.

　　本文是一篇说明文，介绍的是与memory相关的情况：定义，记忆存在的形式，以及记忆的作用。

　　5．Which of the following is TRUE about memory?

　　A．It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.

　　B．It is based on the decisions we made in the past.

　　C．It is rooted in our past habits and skills.

　　D．It connects our past experiences with the present.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据第一段“...perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences”可知A、B、C三项错误，故选D，亦可根据“which are brought into the present by memory”确定D项正确。

　　6．According to the passage, memory is helpful in one's life in the following aspects EXCEPT that

　　.

　　A．it involves a change in one's behavior

　　B．it ke information for later use

　　C．it warns people not to do things repeatedly

　　D．it enables one to remember events that happened in the past

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第二段“Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious...”可知。

　　7．What is the major characteristic of man's memory capacity according to the author?

　　A．It can be expanded by language.

　　B．It can remember all the combined words.

　　C．It may keep all the information in the past.

　　D．It may change what has been stored in it.

　　答案：B　根据文章最后一段“It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.”可知。

　　8．Human beings make themselves different from other animals by

　　.

　　A．having the ability to perceive danger

　　B．having a far greater memory capacity

　　C．having the ability to recognize faces and places on sight

　　D．having the ability to draw on past experiences

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章第三段讲述的内容，尤其是“However, this is but a part of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored.”可推知答案。

　　1．sniff vi./vt. 嗅；闻

　　2.instant adj./n. 立刻；瞬间

　　3．advanced adj. 先进的；高等的

　　4．expand vt./vi. 扩张；展开

　　5．distinguish vt. 区分；辨别；使杰出

　　1．take...for granted 认为……理所应当

　　2．may well 很可能

　　原文：But it is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory.(虚拟语气)

　　译文：但是很难想象没有记忆生活会是什么样的。

　　仿写：Without appropriate software, a computer would be a mere box.

　　没有恰当的软件，电脑只是一个空盒子罢了。

　　[2016·衡水中学调研]Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family among us and the ticket counter.
