    Memories of highly charged events, like the London bombings of the 7th July 2005, can be inaccurate and should not be relied on in court, according to a study in Britain. People can create false memories, bringing problems for police investigations.
    The simultaneous (同时) bombings of three underground trains and a double－decker bus in London some years ago are imprinted on the minds of many people in Britain.
    But our memories of the attacks are unreliable, according to a study from Portsmouth University. Forty percent of British students questioned about the events remembered seeing a film recorded by a CCTV(闭路监控) camera that shows a particular event of the bus bomb——footage(片段) which never existed. A further 28% claimed to have seen a non－existent computerized reconstruction.
    Some even recalled specific details of the attack, which none of them witnessed. "The bus had just stopped to let people off when two women and a man got on," said one. "He placed a hag by his side, the woman sat down and as the bus left, there was an explosion. There was a leg on the floor." Another described how the bus had stepped at a traffic light when there was a bright light, an explosion and the roof of the bus was blown off by the power of the explosion.
    "Memories are not like videotape you can return to the beginning and replay for perfect recall," said lead researcher James Ost. "Because of this, they are not reliable enough to form the basis of legal decisions." He believes people who are more creative might be more inclined to make these kinds of errors.
    60．According to the passage, when people are strongly affected by an event______.
    A．all they say about the event is not true
    B．they couldn't remember anything
    C．they couldn't go on the court to be witnesses
    D．they couldn't make any errors on what they see about the event
    61．The third paragraph______.
    A．tells us what some people saw about the attack
    B．shows that some people did create some false memories
    C．shows that the London bombing was indeed a terrorist attack
    D．shows that some people could remember details of an event
    62．The underlined word "inclined" in the last paragraph is closest to the meaning of______.
    A．careful                          B．likely                              C．serious                          D．curious
    63．What is mainly discussed in the passage?
    A．How our memories work.                                      B．False memories.
    C．How to avoid false memories.                              D．What can be done to memories.

    Tens of thousands of Chinese have joined a debate (辩论) on whether students should be separated into science（理科） and liberal arts（文科）classes in high school, a practice that allows them to stay competitive in college entrance exam by choosing preferred subjects. The debate came after the Ministry of Education began to ask for opinions from the public on Friday on whether it was necessary and possible to stop the dividing system, which has been accepted for decades.
    In a survey started by www. qq. com, more than 260 000 people cast their votes, with 54 percent of those voted for the abolishment (废除)and 40 percent against.
    A netizen from Chengdu said: “Sciences can activate the mind, while arts could strengthen their learning ability.”
    But some people disagreed with him. A netizen nicknamed “gentle scholar” said the students would have more burden if they have more subjects to study. “You don’t even know how difficult the courses are. I suggest a survey among students.”
    “Abolish the current system of division? We have to study nine subjects? Finally we will study everything and have learnt little,” wrote another netizen.
    Li Yanling, an education expert in Beijing, called on education authorities to consider students’ school burden.
    Chinese students are required to choose either arts or science subjects after ten years’ education, which include six years in primary school, three years in junior high school and one year in senior high school.
    Besides the Chinese language, mathematics and English, which are must for everyone, science students are required to take physics, biology and chemistry, while arts students study politics, history and geography.
    小题1:Choosing preferred subjects can help students __________.
    A．have more chance to look for jobs in future
    B．find a good job after graduation
    C．have more advantages to enter a university
    D．show interest in daily life
    小题2:Netizen nicknamed “gentle scholar” __________.
    A．is for the abolishmentB．is against the abolishment
    C．doesn’t care the abolishmentD．prefers students to learn more
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true?           .
    A．The debate is on whether the students should choose science or liberal arts classes in high school
    B．More people on the Internet are for the abolishment
    C．The students who are against the abolishment think abolishing the current system of division will heavy their burden.
    D．Science students are required to take physics, biology and chemistry besides
    Chinese, math and English.
    小题4:What must a Chinese student learn in 2008?

    If there is one thing that matters in high school－and for your whole life－it is friendships．
    My latest novel，THE UNWRITTEN RULE，is about a girl，Sarah，who falls for her best friend Brianna’s boyfriend，Ryan，but it’s more about wrestling with feelings for a guy that you know you shouldn’t have．A lot of the book deals with friendship，the kind of lifelong friendship that means the world to you．．．and what happens when you realize that maybe it isn’t what you think it is．
    Maybe your best friend isn’t your best friend．Maybe she isn’t even a friend at all．
    Friendships are tricky things．You can he sure everything is fine，and that your friendship is going to last forever．．．and it can just end．No explanation，no anything．And it is not easy．In fact，I think losing a friend is worse than losing a boyfriend，especially when it is a friend you’ve had in your life for a long time．
    One of the things that Sarah struggles with in THE UNWRITTEN RULE，beyond her feelings for Ryan，is her friendship with Brianna—how long they’ve been friends，how she understands Brianna in a way no one else does，and what to do when a crack appears in their friend ship，not because of Sarah’s feelings for Ryan，but because Sarah begins to wonder if maybe Brianna isn’t her best friend after all．
    Having a friendship end is incredibly painful and one of the things I hated when I was younger—and that I still hate now—is how people say．“Oh，it’ll be okay．You’ll move on，you’ll be fine．”
    It is true that you will eventually move on and that you will be fine．But you will also always carry that lost friendship with you．It may not take up all of your heart like it does at first，but it will take part of it．
    And that，I think，is something no one ever talks about and that I wish we could — and would．
    What do you do when someone you are friends with decides your friendship is over? How do you deal with it?
    Maybe my latest novel can provide something for you．
    47．From the passage we can infer that_____．
    A．it may takes Sarah a long time to recover after she lost Brianna’s friendship
    B．Sarah and Brianna are still best friends after a long period of time
    C．Sarah does not value Brianna’s friendship at all

    Last week, we explained that the planet Mars had passed “opposition.” It passed a point opposite the Sun. This week, we tell about the planet’s surprising motion among the stars.
    For thousands of years, people have recognized that planets travel among the stars. The planets generally follow the path taken by the Sun through the sky. The Sun’s path is called the ecliptic. The groups of stars along the ecliptic are called the Zodiac(黄道带).
    The motion of the planets can be confusing at times. Everyone knows the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. But this is caused by the turning motion of the Earth. Planets generally move from west to east.
    However, Mars will appear to move backward for about two months this year. This happens because the Earth is overtaking Mars on its way around the Sun. Mars began its backward, or westward, motion on May 11th. It will start moving eastward again on July 19th.
    Mars’ apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. Most early theories of tilt solar system argued that the Sun and planets turned around the Earth. But the sudden westward motion of Mars presented problem. Why would Mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?
    In 1543, a Polish church worker named Nicolas Copernicus published a different theory. His theory said the Earth and planets moved around the Sun in perfectly circular orbits. Copernicus’ theory was simpler. But his Sun-centered system still did not explain the observed motion of Mars very well.
    Finally, a German mathematician named Johannes Kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the planets in 1619. He had carefully studied the motion of Mars for many years.
    Johannes Kepler discovered that the planets do not move in circular orbits around the Sun. Instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses(椭圆). Mars’ elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.
    During the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of Mars has caused so many people to wonder.
    64.From the passage we can learn that _________.
    A. the sun and planets generally travel westward
    B. Kepler studied the orbit of the planets in 1619
    C. Copernicus’ theory well explained the motion of Mars
    D. the Earth’s turning motion causes the sun to rise in the east
    65.On July 19th Mars _______.
    A. will pass the “opposition”                     
    B. appears to change its direction again
    C. will begin to move westward     
    D. appears to change its orbit again
    66.Why does Mars appear to be bigger and brighter when it passes “opposition”?
    A. It is overtaking the earth                       B. It follows the path of the sun
    C. It moves in an elliptical orbit                 D. It travels in a circular orbit.
    67.What is the best title for the passage?
    A. The Recent Research into Mars          B. The Surprising Motion of Mars
    C. The Great Discovery on Mars               D. The Wonderful Mystery of Mars

    (C)
    Sometimes people recall past events differently from how they happened. Have you ever confused dates and events from your life, or people’s names? Don’t be too hard on yourself if this is the case; it happens to almost everyone. Every day, our brain processes an amazing amount of information. In fact, all our experiences are based on the way our brain interprets the information it receives from our senses. It is impossible to store all of this information, so some of it gets lost. The parts that remain make up our memories. All our thoughts and memories depend on the way our senses work, and we cannot always trust everything our senses tell us.
    If you have ever tried to make your own short film on a digital camera, you will have noticed that the images you record are often blurry(模糊不清). To stop the same thing from happening when we see things with our own eyes, our brain is always filling in the blanks. Before our eyes can even focus on an object, our brain has created its own picture of it so that we can move smoothly from looking at one thing to another without the world looking strange. If we are moving quickly or are not focusing properly, our brain may not correctly guess what is around us.
    Memory is the way we store the information that our senses have experienced. As we have discussed above, our senses do not always see things accurately, so our memory is just how we store our interpretations of these experiences. When our brain takes in new experiences, it uses the information we retrieve from our memory as a reference. This means that we often do not remember the details of things but just the important parts. When we look at something, we often do not really look closely at it, but we merely look at the different hints that help us indentify it.
    This also happens with our hearing and speaking. It is natural for students of English to confuse the word “kitchen”, with the familiar word “chicken”. As the sounds are similar, the mind mistakenly identifies the new word with the one that is familiar. This is perhaps the most common reason why people make mistakes when they learn a new language. 
    72. Sometimes things people remember are quite different from how they really happened because ______.
    A. not all people are smart enough                            B. the main part of the information gets lost
    C. people are too strict with themselves            D. information was processed incompletely
    73. Taking the short film on a digital camera for an example, the author means _____.
    A. images recorded by cameras could not be accurate
    B. brain may form an imagery picture without reference
    C. blurry pictures are caused by too fast camera movements
    D. the process of vision is an interpretive construct by the brain
    74. The underlined word “retrieve” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
    A. recall                    B. change            C. borrow                 D. differ
    75. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE in terms of memory?
    A. Memory is exactly what senses have experienced.
    B. Memories are made up of the information remaining in minds.
    C. Memory is the way to store information experienced by senses.
    D. Memories sometimes can be obstacles to learning something new.

    B
    The worst danger is a house on fire when people are asleep. Always be ready to leave through a window into the garden by making sure you can open it if necessary. If you should be on holiday in a tall building or hotel, make sure you know where the fire escape(太平梯) is. When you can’t find any way out, try to find pieces of cloth and make a rope to get out of a window to safety. If you smell burning in your home, get out right away. If you can’t breathe properly because of smoke on your way out, crawl(爬) on your hands and knees because smoke rises and the air will be cleaner near the floor. Smoke is a killer and more people die from breathing it in than actually being burned.
    Fire in a cinema hall or public place often means people pushing to reach a door. Keep your head up with arms up in front of your chest. This protects your chest and gives you the best chance to breathe. Above all, don’t get frightened!
    60. When a tall building is on fire, people______.
    A.can leave by coming down the fire escape     B.should first check the room window
    C.had better find a long rope                 D.must lie down on the floor at once

    62. There are several things to do to keep one safe. Which of the following is not talked about in the passage?
    A.Leave the house right away when you smell something burning.
    B.Raise your head and keep your chest from being hurt.
    C.Get out of the house by crawling on the floor.
    D.Rush out of the house, dressed in wet clothes.
    63. Which of the following is not true?
    A.In a fire, more deaths are caused by smoke.
    B.The most important thing is not to be frightened in a fire.
    C.When a public place is on fire, people usually push to leave.
