Memory Test

　　1"I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,"promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He slapped his hand down on the table."When I've finished in two hours' time,your work will be far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now."The entire room sat still.

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

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

　　4"You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?No problem,"says Robinson.The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant."I wish I'd  been told this earlier,"commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to construct"mental journeys".

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

　　6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic."The pupils benefited enormously from lan's presentation,"says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson was speaking."ldeally we should run a regular class in  memory techniques so 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 the world's energy needs,mostly fuelling automobiles.Coal is still used,mostly in power stations,to cover one-quarter of our energy needs,but it is the least efficient,unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel（矿物燃料）.Natural gas reserves could fill some of the gap from oil,but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either.Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years.Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution."Renewable"refers to the fact that these resources are not used faster than they can be replaced.

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

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

　　As prices fall,wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation-quadrupling（翻两番）worldwide between 1999 and 2005.Modern wind farms consist of turbines that generate electricity.Though it will be more expensive,there is more than enough wind to provide the world's entire energy needs.Wind farms come in onshore and offshore forms.They can often end up at spots of natural beauty,and are often unpopular with residents.And turbines are not totally harmless-they can interfere with radar,alter climate and kill sea birds.Scotland is building Europe's largest wind farm,which will power 200,000 homes.The UK's goal is to generate one-fifth of power from renewable sources,mainly wind,by 2020.But this may cause problems,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
