Not long ago, a photo of the football players in my college showed up on my
phone as a “memory”， which was kept through the digital memory (数字记忆). I
was surprised to see the photo at first and sweet memories flashed into my mind.
In the photo, the players from the football team hugged together in excitement
after they won the game. At that time, I took a photo of them with my phone. It
recorded the friendship and the happiness. Then, I fell into the habit of taking photos
of everything. More and more photos filled my phone so I almost forgot this photo.
Thanks to the digital memory, I could enjoy the happy time again.
People needed to make an effort to record things in the past. But now we can do
something like that easily through the digital memory. We put what we want to
remember into our smartphones. Most of the photos that I have kept on my phones—
and in the cloud now—bring happy memories back to me.
However, not all the digital memories are happy. Some are sad. When I see the
photos of my lost pet, I am worried. Because they make me recall something I want to
forget. Usually, digital memories are sent to me nonstop and without any humanlike
feelings. That drives me crazy.
It's hard to say clearly when the digital memory started madly. These digital
memories, whether happy or sad, break into our lives. In my job as a reporter, I have
spent the past five years taking different photos. They will always be there, whatever.

C．Bored. D．Surprised.
27. ( )What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)?
A．The college.
B．The photo taken by the writer.
C．The football team.
D．The game held long ago.
28. ( ) How do people record things easily now?
A．By using smartphones.B．By valuing time.
C．By creating memories with feelings.
D．By developing good habits.
29. ( ) Why does the writer mention his lost pet?
A．To hide some sadness in his life.
B．To help people run away from the past.
C．To show his dislike of some digital memories.
D．To explain the digital memory is very easy to use.
30. ( ) Which of the following is RIGHT?
A．The photos on phones record the past for people.
B．The players in the football team liked taking photos.
C．People today have to remember lots of happy times.
D．The digital memory started when the writer became a reporter.

一、1～3: BDA
4. A 解析：likely常用于“主语 ＋ be likely to do sth.” 结构，主语既可以是人
也可以是物；likely意为“可能的”，符合本句的语境；certain意为 “确定
的，必然的”，语气过于绝对；sure 意为 “确信的，肯定的”，常用于
“主语 ＋ be sure to do sth.”或“主语＋be sure that…”结构，主语通常是人，
侧重 “人主观上的‘确信、肯定'”；语气也过于绝对。possible强调 “某
事有发生的可能，无论概率大小”，常用结构为 “It is possible (for sb.) to
do sth.” 或 “It is possible that…”，不能直接用于 “主语 ＋ be possible to
do sth.”结构，故排除。
5. C 6～10: DACDA
二、11～15: CBCDA 16～20: ABCBD
三、A) 21～25: BADBD
B) 26～30: DBACA
四、31～35: BDAFC
五、36. choices 37. properly 38. aloud 39. better
40. sure 41. its 42. who 43. enjoyable
