Passage Five
Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is leaning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.
Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace (记忆痕) .” What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to dear the dark.
Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Gibe the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize thins that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered.
One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learn how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.
52. We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that_____.
A bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark
B it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of
C chemical substances carry certain memories
D memory is stored in the brain as a substance
The water is brought from the waterworks to each street by a large underground pipe—a water main. The water in this pipe is then forced by pressure into the smaller pipes which carry it to storage tanks at the tops of the buildings. Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.
When the water has been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipe. These take the waste water to another large pipe under the road—the main sewer. The waste water then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This "clean" water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some countries, sent back to the waterworks to be used again.
Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable. This cable may be underground or, in country districts, it may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. This meter measures the amount of electricity that is used in the building. Near the meter there is a master switch which can cut off the supply of electricity. There are also fuse boxes between the master switch and the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building. All these wires, fuses and switches are the "wiring circuit".
It can be inferred from this passage that______.
A．water and electricity are the only main services in our homes
B．the pipes bringing water to our homes are unimportant
C．water is less significant than electricity in our homes
D．we are unaware of how water or electricity is brought to our homes

Where do these ideas come from？ Max Luscher from the University of Geneva believes that in the beginning life was dictated by two factors beyond our control: night and day. Night brought passivity, and a general slowing down of metabolism; day brought with it the possibility of action, and increase in the metabolic rate, thus providing us with energy and initiative. Dark blue, therefore, is the color of quiet and passivity, bright yellow, the color of hope and activity.
In prehistoric times, activity as a rule took one of two forms: either we were hunting and attacking, or we were being hunted and defending ourselves against attack. Attack is universally represented by the color red; self-preservation by its complement green.
In Luscher's view, the association of colors with feeling and attitudes can be traced back to ______.
A．the association of day and night with passivity and action in ancient time
B．the association of black with funerals in western Europe
C．the association of white with purity in some countries
D．the association of red with joy in China

Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystalclear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers, and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one the outstanding and essential qualities required is se]f-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
The first paragraph tells us the author ______. ()
A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn't like his brothers and sisters
D．was born to a naturalist's family
The charges were announced by Judge Raed Juhi, chief investigative judge of the tribunal. They are connected with a 1982 series of detentions and executions after an assassination attempt on Saddam in Dujayl.
Charges against five other men were announced in February. The men will not be tried individually.
"With this announcement, the [tribunal] has raised this historic trial to a new level where the accused stands before justice which will rely on evidence," Juhi said.
No trial date was announced, but under Iraqi law Saddam could stand trial as early as September, because of a minimum 45-day period following referral for trial.
On July 8, 1982, a convoy carrying Saddam traveled through the town of Dujayl, a Shiite village north of Baghdad, and was attacked by a small band of residents.
A series of detentions and executions in the town followed the incident. According to the tribunal, 15 people were summarily executed and some 1,500 others spent years in prison with no charges and no trial date. Ultimately, another 143 were put on "show trials" and executed, according to the tribunal.
Speaking from Rome, Italy, an attorney for Saddam questioned whether a trial would ever be held at all.
"As of today, we still do not have a single document purporting to be anything where we can be ready for trial, and after their own rules ... we will require ... time to be able to prepare a defense," said Giovanni di Stefano. "Anything other than that would make it a farce."
Which institute has brought its first charges against Saddam Hussein？
A．The Iraqi government.
B．The Iraqi state council.
C．The Iraqi Special Tribunal.
D．The U.S. military court.
第二节 短文理解1
阅读下面短文，从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。
Etiquette(礼节) is important at a Chinese dinner party. Usually, the host(主人) should politely ask the guests to be seated first before he sits down. If there is a speech, people stop eating and drinking to listen. Every time a dish is brought out, the host asks the guests to try it first. Guests would not start eating the dish until the host asks them to. While eating, people should stop often to talk for a while. Eating all the time without stopping is not polite, and could be laughed at. Usually, people do not finish a dish. A finished dish would suggest that there is not enough of the dish to eat, which may make the host embarrassed(不好意思的), so people would not usually pick up the last piece off a plate. During a meal, the host asks the guests again and again to eat and drink more. Without this, some people may feel embarrassed about how much they eat. From time to time, people pick up food to give it to those sitting beside them. The host keeps the guests company all the way through the dinner. He would not finish until all the guests do so.
Etiquette at a Chinese dinner party in China is the same as that in western countries.
A．Right.
B．Wrong.
C．Doesn't Say.
