However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around.When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store. After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 60s came out.He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work.I asked him how much it was. He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan that someone had brought in for repair. He said: “It didnt cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?” That really touched me. I took the blade home and it work perfectly! My daughters got a “new” fan for nothing.When I told them this story, they were shocked as they are used to patronizing big modern shops where everything is transactional and the employees go strictly by the book. Not so much my wife. She is almost in her 60s, and said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up.；4Why did the author go to Jalan Besar?ATo visit old friends.BTo fix the broken fan.CTo apply for a job.DTo buy a new fan.；5What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 3 mean?ANervous mood.BAnxious waiting.CDifficult situation.DEmbarrassing moments.；6Which of the following can best describe the old man?AHonest and helpful.BKind and brave.CDetermined and curious.DOpen-minded and humorous.；7How did the authors wife react to his experience?AShe thought little of it.BShe was greatly surprised.CShe couldnt believe it.DShe remembered the old days.C（说明文）A green sea turtle(海龟)struggled to move in the cold water off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.The water was normally warm, but an extreme cold front from the Arctic swept the area, dropping the air temperature below freezing. The cold-blooded sea turtle became almost frozen: Its body stopped moving, and it couldn't get a breath of air. Without help, these sea turtles would have died underwater.A conservation group on South Padre Island was ready to help. On the first day of the storm, staff and volunteers from Sea Turtle, Inc., headed out on boats to rescue the sea turtles. They loaded them onto trucks and transported them to the organization's rescue center.The group usually rescued only about a hundred turtles on days when the weather briefly got cold. But this February storm was different: By the second day, volunteers had already pulled more than 600 frozen sea turtles from the water.Over the next five days, new sea turtles arrived during the daytime. At night, the volunteers wore headbands with flashlights to provide medical care in the dark building. They tried to keep the sea turtles clean while they were out of the water.Eight days after the storm began, the water was finally warm enough to release the sea turtles. About 30 miles offshore, the boat stopped, and the workers put over 2,300 sea turtles back into the ocean.If the workers and volunteers hadn't rescued these sea turtles, none of them would have survived. “We were up all night, every night, and the release was exhausting, too," a volunteer said.

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 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.12The passage begins with two questions to .Aintroduce the main topicBshow the authors attitudeCdescribe how to use the InternetDexplain how to store information13What can we learn about the first experiment?ASparrows team typed the information into a computer.BThe two groups remembered the information equally well.CThe first group did not try to remember the formation.DThe second group did not understand the information.14In transactive memory, people .Akeep the information in mindBchange the quantity of informationCorganize information like a computerDremember how to find the information15What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?AWe are using memory differently.BWe are becoming more intelligent.CWe have poorer memories than before.DWe need a better way to access information.参考答案BAA BCAD DCDA ACDA第 4 页，共 4 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司
