At school I made believe that I had headaches and parental notes too, to get out of PE classes and compulsory games. Now, twice a week, I dutifully get on cycling machines and other equipment and make myself work out for an hour. To get through the difficult hour, I and people watched: young and old, fit and unfit and Clayton Rose, one of the instructors. Clayton is a personal trainer not only to body perfectionists, but to people who are mentally and physically disabled, the obese and hopeless. He treats them all the same. I have witnessed him listening keenly to a middle-aged working-class woman who goes on and on about her life, holidays, everything. Slim and attractive now, she was once so heavy that she was in a wheelchair. I have seen him calm down a young man with Tourettes syndrome(抽动症) and get him on a treadmill. I have also watched him pushing and coaching strong, cool men. Clayton was shocked when I said I wanted to write about him. “Why? You know Im not educated? Im not clued up about politics and all that. Just an ordinary guy.”He grew up in Twickenham, where his dad worked in a timber yard, his mum in an office. After college, the young man got into personal training and found his work. One of his best friends got seriously ill and was given months to live. Clayton put him on a program that kept him alive for almost five years: “I dont earn much, but I love my work; training and talking really helps people who dont have confidence, who are lonely, afraid and sick. Lots of people cant step into a gym. They need someone they can trust, someone who will be on their side.”The gym recently updated its equipment. The flashy new stuff confuses and upsets disabled customers. Me too. The private firm running these centers made decisions without considering these needs. Clayton is managing the chaos with grace and strength. Last week, when a young woman in a wheelchair started sobbing loudly, he calmed her down, restored her dignity, superhumanly contained his anger.One of his colleagues thinks Claytons “a legend”. He is, and doesnt know it a rare thing in this age of extreme narcissism(自恋) and monetized everything.24. Why was I unwilling to go to a gym?A. Because I suffered from headaches.B. Because I had bad memories of PE classes.C. Because I had to watch a large crowd exercisingD. Because I felt it tiring and no fun25. How does Clayton Rose help people in the gym?A. He brings out the best in them.B. He helps them with illness adviceC. He treats them differently.D. He focuses on body perfection.26. What does Clayton Rose like about his job?A. The pay he receivesB. The grace and strength it brings.C. The comforting power he gives.D. The disabled people on his side.27. What is the main idea of the text?A. Reasons to go to a gym.B. An instructor inspiring confidence.C. Exercise with push and inspiration.D. Rays of hope in the age of narcissism.CMexico takes the third place in the most-attended carnival celebrations behind Rio de Janerio in Brazil and New Orleans in the US.

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know if the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location(位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆)”.According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.32. The passage begins with two questions to _.A. introduce the main topicB. show the authors attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information33. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrows team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.34. In transactive memory, people _.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Steps to write a good essayIf you ask many people, they will probably say that writing a research paper is challenging. 36 Firstly, choose a topic that you are interested in or a topic you are curious about, which will motivate you to do the necessary research on it. Meanwhile, for helpful and reliable sources of information, the library is the best resource. Use books, published articles, journals, newspapers and magazines to research your chosen topic. 37 Color code them by topic, and use different-colored highlighters to mark the details so you can find each topic easily. Every time you note something down, write the bibliographical information, including the author, the book title, page numbers used, volume number, publishers name and date of publication.After in-depth research, you can go on to write an outline. With all the notes and important information youve gathered, determine where each topic fits. 38 Finishing the outline, you can begin the first draft. 39 You can do more research if you feel like youre lacking information. This is only the first draft, so you can still make changes as you go on.Once you reread your first draft over and over and make the necessary changes you feel you should make, it is time to write your final draft. Make sure that all the vital information is included and that your writing makes sense and has a steady and natural flow all throughout. 40 At last, read the final version as many times as you want and even ask a friend or professor to read it too.A. Then, do the research.B. Next, be organized with your notes.C. Simply note which parts will be the beginning, middle and end.D.
