Memory Test

　　1"I am going to give you five techniques that willenable you to remember anything you need to know at school,"promisedlecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He slapped his handdown on the table."When I've finished in two hours' time,your work willbe far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leavenow."The entire room sat still.

　　2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician （魔术师）.Hespecializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible,and thenhe  reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than goodold-fashioned trickery （骗术）."I have always  been interested in tricksinvolving  memory-being able to reel off （一口气 说出） the order of cards ina pack,that sort of thing,"he  explains.

　　3Robinson was already  lecturing to schools on hismagic techniques when it struck him that students might find memorytechniques even more valuable."It wasn't difficult area to move inot,asthe stuff's all there in books."So he summarized everything to make atwo-hour lecture about five techniques.

　　4"You want to learn a list of a hundred things?Athousand?No problem,"says Robinson.The scandal is that every child isnot taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life.Theschoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant."I wishI'd  been told this earlier,"commented Mark,after Robinson had shownthem how to construct"mental journeys".

　　5Essentially,you visualize （想象） a walk down astreet,or a trip round a room,and pick the points where you will putthe things you want to remember-the lamppost,the fruit bowl.Then ineach location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasalverbs,historical dates,whatever-making them as strange as possible.Itis that simple,and it works.

　　6The reaction of schools has been uniformlyenthusiastic."The pupils benefited enormously from lan'spresentation,"says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson wasspeaking."ldeally we should run a regular class in  memory techniquesso pupils can pick it up gradually."

　　第4部分：阅读理解（第31~45题，每题3分，共45分）
　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。

　　第一篇

Renewable Energy Sources

　　Today petroleum（石油）provides around 40% of theworld's energy needs,mostly fuelling automobiles.Coal is stillused,mostly in power stations,to cover one-quarter of our energyneeds,but it is the least efficient,unhealthiest and mostenvironmentally damaging fossil fuel（矿物燃料）.Natural gas reserves couldfill some of the gap from oil,but reserves of that will not last intothe 22nd century either.Most experts predict we will exhaust easilyaccessible reserves within 50 years.Less-polluting renewable energysources offer a more practical long-term energysolution."Renewable"refers to the fact that these resources are notused faster than they can be replaced.

　　Hydroelectric（水力发电的）power is now the most commonform of renewable energy,supplying around 20% of worldelectricity.China's Three Gorges Dam is the largest ever.At five timesthe size of the US's Hoover Dam,its 26 turbines（涡轮机）will generate theequivalent energy of 18 coal-fired power stations.It will satisfy 3% ofChina's entire electricity demand.

　　In 2003,the first commercial power station to usetidal（潮汐的）currents in the open sea opened in Norway.It is designed likewindmill（风车）,but others take the form of turbines.

　　As prices fall,wind power has become the fastestgrowing type of electricity generation-quadrupling（翻两番）worldwidebetween 1999 and 2005.Modern wind farms consist of turbines thatgenerate electricity.Though it will be more expensive,there is morethan enough wind to provide the world's entire energy needs.Wind farmscome in onshore and offshore forms.They can often end up at spots ofnatural beauty,and are often unpopular with residents.And turbines arenot totally harmless-they can interfere with radar,alter climate andkill sea birds.Scotland is building Europe's largest wind farm,whichwill power 200,000 homes.The UK's goal is to generate one-fifth ofpower from renewable sources,mainly wind,by 2020.But this may causeproblems,because wind is unreliable.

　　31.According to the passage,which of the following is the most polluting energy resource?
　　A.Petroleum.
　　B.Coal.
　　C.Natural gas
　　D.Water.

　　32.China's Three Gorges Dam
　　 the first hydroelectric dam in the world.
　　 of the same size as the US's Hoover Dam.
　　 generate around 3% of world electricity.
　　 the largest hydroelectric dam in the world.

　　33.Which country took the lead in making use of tidal currents to produce power in 2003?
　　A.The UK.
　　B.China.
　　C.Norway.
　　D.The US.

　　34.One of the problems with wind farms is that
　　 is not enough wind.
　　 is not reliable.
　　 can only be built on the sea.
　　 might influence the world economy.

　　35.According to the passage,resources like wind are
