Liu Dawei never expected that one day he would become a master of memory.
When he was in primary school, he was good at maths but poor in Chinese and English梥ubjects that require students to recite long lists of words in order to achieve good scores. His teachers told him that he was hardworking and self璵otivated, but lacked a talent for study.
When Liu was to choose a major at college, all he wanted to do was pick something that did not require him to memorise things. He was eventually admitted to Wuhan University. In his junior year, Wang Feng, a student at the university, won the World Memory Championship in 2010.
Inspired, Liu decided to join the university's memory club. It was then that he, for the first time, realised that one's memory can be improved through practice. After one month's training, he could memorise 200 numbers within 5 minutes.
揟he training is hard梠nly three out of a team of seven decided to stay for the full month璴ong training，” he said.“But if we can translate unfamiliar abstract things into what we are familiar with, the locked door of memory opens up to us.”
When he used the skills he had acquired to prepare for his English tests, he found he could memorise 1, 000 words a day. He later recorded his methods in a book to help others. He also offered online training courses to teach more people about the secrets of improving memory.
However, Zhang Zhangran, a professor of psychology at the university, warned that such training courses can only help people to improve their ability to memorise things for a short amount of time. One's studying ability needs to be acquired through the process of solving problems.
24．What influenced Liu Dawei in choosing his major at college?
A．Hard work. B．Self?motivation.
C．Study talent. D．Poor memory.
25．How is the door of memory unlocked according to Liu Dawei?
A．By memorising 200 numbers within 5 minutes. B．By turning abstract things into familiar ones.
C．By memorising 1, 000 English words a day. D．By recording training methods in a book.
26．What did Liu Dawei use his skills to do?
A．Win the World Memory Championship. B. Found the university's memory club.
C．Organise a training team of ten students. D．Help more people to improve memory.
27．What did Professor Zhang think of the online training courses?
A．Of great help. B．Of limited use.
C．Time?consuming. D．Money?saving.
C
Mary Streech and her friends stood by the water fountain, talking casually. It was like any other day in the seventh grade, Mary remembers, until someone pointed to a girl walking by and said, “She's so chunky (矮胖的)．”
As the others joined in, it became clear: “Being chunky” was a crime. And this girl was guilty as charged.
At first, Mary felt relieved that they weren't ragging on her, but by that night, the day's events had given her a stomachache. “After that, I became extremely sensitive，” she says. “If anybody looked at me too long, I'd assume they were sizing up my body.
By high school, she says, 揑t was like being in a shark tank. Mean comments about people's bodies were the norm, so Mary started to diet梥he wrongly believed that watching her weight could protect her from their judgment. And sadly, one year later, that diet had developed into a serious eating disorder.
Now recovered, Mary is fighting to end that culture of hurtful comments梬hat she calls 揵odysnarking. And her timing couldn't be better: As we spend more and more time critiquing each other's selfies (自拍照)，openly judging other people's looks is becoming a national pastime of sorts.
In fact, many experts believe body?shaming others has become a way to deal with our own emotions. “Sometimes our natural response is to criticize an easy target when we feel hurt or insecure，” says psychologist Robyn Silverman.
This tendency to attack appearances is especially dangerous for teens, whose bodies—and identities—are still developing. Even if someone else's insecurities are fueling the verbal fire, it's hard to see it that way if you're the one being criticized.
The best news of all, says Aaron Blashill, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School, is that our most effective defense against the culture of criticism is to not be our own body bullies (恃强凌弱的人). He has conducted studies showing that there's a strong link between how we feel about our appearance and our overall happiness, despite whatever shape or size we happen to be. “It's more important to change how you think about your body than to change what it looks like，” he says.
28．The day described in Paragraph 1 became special to Mary ________.
A．because of a serious crime B．because a girl was bullied
C．because of the water fountain D．because her friends talked to her
29．What caused Mary to struggle with an eating disorder?
A．Her friends dieting to keep healthy. B．Her being criticized for being chunky.
C．Her friends looking at her for a long time. D．Her dieting to avoid body image problems.
30．What does Mary mean by “bodysnarking”？
A．Strengthening the muscles of the body. B．Returning to the normal state of health.
C．Controlling the movement of one's body. D．Criticizing somebody for their appearances.
31．We can infer from the last paragraph that to be happy, people should________.
A．be content with their bodies B．make friends with the tolerant
C．try to make themselves look better D．avoid paying attention to their bodies
D
Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past”， as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of 1isten璦nd璻epeat learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learnt these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learnt the words by speaking them.
Dr. Katie Overy said singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.
Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr. Ludke writes，“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen?and?repeat singing method can support foreign language learning. ”
32．What's the author's purpose by mentioning the “song” in the first paragraph?
A．To recall the past. B．To attract the readers.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To compare the childhood with the present.
33．Which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?
A．Hungarian. B．Spanish.
C．Italian. D．English.
34．What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?
A．Singing is the best way to learn a language.
B．The brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.
C．A listen?and?repeat method is very effective for any language learner.
D．Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.
35．In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?
A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.
B．A child is going to have his first music lesson.
C．A student is going to learn a new English song.
D．An American is going to learn some Chinese.

I am a mother of three children and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was sociology (社会学). The teacher offered inspiring teaching that I wish every human could be graced with. Her last project of the term was called 揝mile. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so I thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after we were given the project, my husband, the youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's in a cold morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move a bit. A strong feeling of fear turned up as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around, I smelled a terrible 揹irty body smell, and standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 搒miling. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance.
He said, Good day！” as he counted the few coins he had been holding. The second man was obviously mentally disabled. I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss，” because that was all they could afford (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. They just wanted to be warm.)
Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out my hands and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.

At that moment I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were staring at me.______________________________________________________

M：Good morning, this is Jesse Williams with your Tuesday weather report. We had a hot and sunny day yesterday. The temperature was 36 ℃. It is expected that today's temperature could climb to as high as 38 ℃ by the late afternoon. Right now, only an hour after sunrise, the temperature in our city is already 29 ℃. Unfortunately, there is also no rain for the next five days. This is bad news for the thirsty forest in our city. Wednesday is forecast to be hotter, reaching 40 degrees with a surprising 28 ℃ overnight. It is the hottest August day since 30 ℃ in 2015. The good news is that it will be windy tonight. So it seems that setting up a tent in the backyard may be the only way to catch some sleep tonight if you don't have an air?conditioner. When you go out, please wear your hat and sunglasses. That's all for today's weather report. The traffic report in the morning is as follows. Thank you for listening.

第一节
One possible version：
Dear Dr. Dan，
I'm writing to ask for some information about your school and how to be admitted to your university.
As a Senior 3 girl, I have always been considering going abroad for further study, which I suppose will benefit me greatly in the long term. I'm an outstanding student and good at physics and biology. Of course, I have a good command of English and I hope to grasp this opportunity to realize my dream.
What puzzles me is that I don't know the exact time for the test and interview, and also I am confused about what to be prepared for the test. Besides this, I will greatly appreciate it if you could introduce me something about the school life in your university, especially the after?school activities, spare?time life and the tuition.
Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully，
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version：
At that moment I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were staring at me. I smiled and asked the waitress to give me two more breakfast on separate trays. I put the trays on the table and the blue?eyed gentleman looked up at me tearfully. I started to cry as I walked away. When I sat down, my husband smiled at me. We held hands firmly. I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in my hand.
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. Then she said, “Can I share this？” I nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and I knew that we, as humans, shared this need to help people and to be helped. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, my son, the instructor, and every soul in the classroom. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I had ever learned: unconditional acceptance.
