The Day People Started Talking
My journey home from school is nothing special. I usually find a seat and start reading or texting my friends,
making sure, like everyone else, not to look at other people. Then, twenty minutes later, I get off.
But last Tuesday was different. I was happily looking out of the window when the train suddenly stopped. This
wasn’t usual. Then after about five minutes, I noticed people were starting to get a bit upset. Fifteen minutes later,
people started getting more and more upset. Then the announcement (广播) came: “We are sorry to announce that
this train is delayed. A train has broken down in front of us.”
There was a loud groan (叹息) throughout the carriage but soon something unexpected happened: all the
complete strangers started talking to each other. At first, everyone just complained about the trains, but then people
started talking about real things. I started chatting to a couple of young tourists sitting opposite me. Next, I really
surprised myself by talking to a businesswoman. Business people are a lot cooler than I thought. Then I decided to
get up and go for a walk down the train. I met a woman who had been a student at my school seven years before.
People offered each other food and drink. A young woman took her guitar and soon we were singing along.
While we were singing, we heard there was a sick boy in another part of the train who needed help, and the woman
from my school jumped into action. It turned out she was a nurse, and when she came back she was welcomed as a
hero.
Then, after two and a half hours, we started moving again. Everyone cheered and some people, complete
strangers three hours before, even hugged.
I took the train again on Wednesday but none of my new “friends” were there. Although people were polite,
they weren’t nearly as friendly as the people the day before had been. I’ll never forget the day the train stopped and
people started talking.
24. What happened after the announcement? （ ）
A. People got upset and started texting their friends.
B. The children started playing with their phones.
C. The workers started offering food and drink.
D. People started talking to each other.

How good are you at remembering names, dates, and telephone numbers? It is not easy for all. Remembering
things is one of the most interesting functions (功能) of the human brain (大脑). That’s why scientists spend so
much time studying how it works.
Studies show that when we learn something new, it stays in our memory (记忆) for 20-30 seconds. This is our
short-term memory. Remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper is an example. The
opposite of short-term memory is long-term memory, which is where things are stored in the brain for a long time.
The brain can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. For example, when studying for an exam, instead of
just reading the information once or twice, you might go over your notes again and again until you can remember
the important information.
Dave Farrow is known for his excellent memory. He has been listed twice in Guinness (吉尼斯) World
Records for Greatest Memory. As a student, Dave had great difficulties in learning. He found some ways to
improve his memory in order to do well in school. Here are some you can try.
One way is to look at the first letter of each word you want to remember. Then, make your own word or
sentence using all of those letters. For example, if you want to remember all the colours in a rainbow, try
remembering the name Roy G.Biv. Each letter in this name matches the first letter of a colour：red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo and violet. Another way is to remember information in groups. For example, when you
remember a telephone number, remember three numbers as a group, the next four numbers as a group and the final
four numbers as a group. This way, your brain only has to remember three things instead of 11.
If you are interested in improving your memory, apart from using some ways to remember things, there are
lots of simple things you can do, like eating healthily, sleeping well and exercising daily. Challenging (挑战) your
brain also helps you keep it healthy and active. So, why not start playing mind games, learning a musical
instrument or studying a new language?
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Short-term memory is less important than long-term memory.
第5页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. The information needed for an exam stays in short-term memory.
C. People store new information in long-term memory by going over it.
D. Our short-term memory can hold information for more than half a minute.
.
28 The writer talks about Dave Farrow to ________.
A. describe how people remember things
B. show the importance of a great memory
C. tell people to use some ways to improve memory
D. give a reason why people need to improve memory
29. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Some advice to improve memory.
B. Some activities to challenge the brain.
.
C Some advantages of playing mind games.
D. Some reasons for keeping the brain active.

Some parents and some students feel that the study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to
students, particularly if they are second language learners of English. However, there are still good reasons for the
study of English literature.
Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature, especially if they
have no plans to study English or translation at university. But English literature can introduce students to many
aspects (方面), not only the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.
There are aspects of English culture that summarized by English literature. Of course,this is quite evident (明
显的) when we are studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers, poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. It is, however, also true when we are studying other works of English literature. Students can
learn about good stories and references to different aspects of English culture. They can also learn the context (背
景) and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.
Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions of England but includes the possibility of
introducing them to traditions which influence English literature, such as the study of Ancient Greek drama, and to
literature in other contexts, such as American literature. The enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give
students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and
into the adult lives. They will have the confidence to approach and deal with new forms of books and writing.
When studying literature, students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary but also the
language aspects which can be used for specific purposes. For example, if the students are familiar with the
第6页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司concepts of the beat and rhythm of English poems, they can improve their own writing as they are able to
appreciate and apply these ideas.
Finally, the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle, from which the students
can deal with their studies in particular and their lives in general. So the next time you are reading a newspaper
article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative (主动性) in the local workforce, remember that in a small
way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and further dimension to a person’s life.
30. The word “confine” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. advise B. warn C. limit D. require
31. The writer probably agrees that the study of English literature ________.
A. has a long-lasting influence on students
B. is misguided and has more disadvantages
C. is not necessary for second language learners
D. only allows the students to learn traditions of England
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Schools fail to care about students’ need.
B. English culture is closely related to English literature.
C. Learning English literature can make students smarter.
D. The more you read literature works, the more you complain.
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why We Learn English Literature
B. The Needs of Students and Parents
C. What We Know about English Culture
D. English Culture and English Literature

You may sometimes notice athletes with purple circles on their skin from cupping. Or maybe you know someone
who swears (极其信赖) acupuncture for their back pain. More and more people use practices from traditional
Chinese medicine like these not only to fight disease, but also to prevent it.
TCM is short for traditional Chinese medicine. It is an ancient system of health and wellness. It’s been used in
China for thousands of years. Western medicine focuses mainly on treating disease. But TCM looks at your entire
well-being.
Western medicine tends to view the body a lot like a car. It has different systems that need the right inputs and
outputs. It’s very specific (具体的) and logical.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司TCM is based on balance, harmony (和谐) and energy. There are two central ideas behind TCM. One is qi,
the other is yin and yang. Qi is also called life energy or vital energy. The belief is that it runs throughout your body.
It’s always on the move and continually changes. TCM treatments often focus on ways to promote and maintain the
flow of qi.
Yin and Yang are opposites that describe the qualities of qi. The belief is that everything in life has a little bit
of its opposite, too, and balance is the key. For example, a drug from your doctor might cure disease. But it’s dangerous
if you take too much of it.
According to TCM, these ideas play out in our bodies. When you balance the yin and yang of qi, you feel
healthy and well. If they’re in disorder, you feel sick. TCM aims to create harmony and a healthy flow of qi.
Experts believe it’s safe, if you go to someone who knows what they’re doing. This is especially true of
acupuncture, tai chi, and cupping. With a little background on how it’s used, I believe you can make wiser choices
to improve your health.
