"May I help you？ "a man asked. "No， "I said. "We're fine. "Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in？Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very nosy（愛窺探的），keeping their eyes on me with curiosity：What was their problem？I saw some nice sculptures in one room.Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are？he asked.I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum! " He smiled，shaking his head. "Sorry，the McNay is on New Braunfels Street. ""What's this place？ "I asked，still confused.

"She stepped down，looking confused.I pushed her toward the front door，waving at the family，saying， "Sorry，please forgive us，you have a really nice place.

3．Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks.His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter，including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts（收銀臺(tái)）.The bags are prohibited in some cities in California，including Los Angeles.Eyeing these headwinds，plastic-bag makers.jye.ai hiring.scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' argument：many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags，which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at，they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement：reusable shopping bags.The stronger a reusable bag is，the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out.However，longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute（質(zhì)疑）these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
（1）What has Steven Stein been hired to do？
A．Help increase grocery sales.
B．Argue for the use of plastic bags.
C．Stop things falling off trucks.
D．Recycle the waste material.
（2）What does the word "headwinds" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Headaches caused by garbage.
B．Effects of city development.
C．Bans on plastic bags.
D．Plastic bags hung in trees.
（3）What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers？
A．Producing them requires more energy.
B．Replacing them can be difficult.
C．They are less strong than plastic bags.
D．They are quite expensive.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Garbage Collection and Waste Control.
B．Industry，Pollution and Environment.
C．Recycle or Throw Away.
D．Plastic，Paper or Neither.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.3 -
4．The brain is a seemingly endless library，whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as our lifetime's knowledge.But is there a point where it is completely full？
The answer is no，because brains are more complex than that：Instead of just crowding in，old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form.
Previous behavioral studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting.But in a new study，researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain.
In daily life，forgetting actually has clear advantages.Imagine，for instance，that you lost your bank card.The new card you receive will come with a hew personal identification number （PIN）.Each time you remember the new PIN，you gradually forget the old one，This process improves access to relevant information，without old memories interfering.
And most of us may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new，relevant memories.Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same park you were at a week earlier.This type of memory （where you are trying to remember new，but similar information）is particularly vulnerable to interference.
When we acquire new information，the brain automatically tries to incorporate（合并）it within existing information by forming associations.And when we retrieve（檢索）information，both the desired and associated but irrelevant information is recalled.
The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information.But-current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which we forget，as its importance begins to be more appreciated.
A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life.While it may sound like an advantage to many，people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability burdensome.
In a sense，forgetting is our brain's way of sorting memories，so the most relevant memories are ready for retrieval.Normal forgetting may even be a safety mechanism to ensure our brain doesn't become too full.
（1）What is the benefit of forgetting？
A．It helps slow down our aging process.
B．It frees us from painful memories.
C．It prevents old information from forming associations.
D．It boosts our access to relevant information.
（2）What is the emphasis of current studies of memory？
A．What contributes to forgetting.
B．When people tend to forget.
C．How new technology hinders memory capacity.
D．Why learning and forgetting are complementary.
（3）What do people find about their rare ability to remember every detail of their life？
A．It is regarded as a rare object of envy.
B．It makes their life more complicated.
C．It contributes to their success in life.
D．It adds to the burden of their（memory.
（4）What does the passage say about forgetting？
A．It can enlarge our brain capacity.
B．It is a way of organizing our memories.
C．It helps get rid of negative memories.
D．It should not cause any alarm in any way.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.3

19．A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited.The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out.When he did come out，he would not say hello to neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited，sweating from fear of the old man.The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house，and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
Dust found the boy lingering（徘徊）on and hesitating what to do.As he was ready to walk away，the door slowly opened. "What do you want？ "the old man said impatiently.The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota（份額）to meet for school with selling the magazines.So he got up the courage and said， "Uh，sir，I am selling these magazines and uh，I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me. "
The old man just stared at the boy without a word.The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines（雕像）on the wall. "Do you collect dogs？ "the little boy asked. "Yes，I have many collections in my house.They are my family here and they are all I have. " The boy then felt sorry for the man，as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
"Well，I do have a magazine here for collectors.It is perfect for you.I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much. "The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said， "No boy，I don't-need any magazines of any kind，now goodbye. "
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale.He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned.The boy went home and then had an idea.He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt.The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
