Before the printing press was invented，books were copied by hand.An ancient Roman book trader sometimes sold as many as 5，000 copies of a book that had been copied by slaves （奴隶），copying a book took so much time and was so expensive.As a result，usually only a small part of the people learned to read and owned books.
In 1450，Johannes Gutenberg from Germany invented the modern printing press.The effect of his machine is sometimes compared to the invention of the Internet.Gutenberg's printing press was easy to use with languages such as English that had alphabetic （字母的） words.After 1450
Reading has brought about amazing changes in science and technology.We've learned how to create wealth （财富） and even travel to far puters，mobile phones，because millions of readers were created by the printing press.
Since 1450，more and more people have become readers.These readers help the world to make progress at a fast speed.

Mexico No yellow roses Roses are great gifts to show feelings in the world.However，different colours of roses may have different meanings.In Mexico，it's better to choose a traditional red rose but not a yellow one（死亡） in Mexican culture.
Venezuela — Arriving late Venezuelans enjoy a relaxing life.When they're joining a meeting or a party in Venezuela，it's common for them to arrive a little late.
The Middle East No left hands In many Middle Eastern countries，greeting someone or eating with one's left hand is not polite or healthy.People there have special use of left hands after going to the bathroom，so they take the left hand as the dirty hand.

6．（8分）Many people say that they have a bad memory，especially when they are older.How can we improve our memory？
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them.While this certainly helps short﹣term memory（remembering a telephone number for a few seconds，for example），psychologists（心理学家） aren't sure whether it can help you remember things for very long.The British psychologist E.C.Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers（祈祷文），especially for remembering numbers，is grouping the information.The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember：1492178919931848.But look at them in groups
According to experts，there are many ways of training your memory.Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized.One method，which may be useful in learning foreign languages，is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.
Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember.In experiments，people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill，when tested afterwards，they were able to recall 90% of them!
However，not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun.For those studying a large amount of information，psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along.So，if you were reading about a special disease，you would ask yourself questions like："Do people get it from water？"
（1）Which of the following is TRUE about repeating things according to the passage？
A.It helps short﹣term memory for sure.
B.It helps to remember things for long.
C.It makes remembering things interesting.
D.It makes remembering prayers easily.
（2）What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A.experts
B.ways
C.pictures
D.languages
（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A.Creating a picture is useful in learning Maths.
B.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.
C.Remembering long numbers is easy for people.
D.Asking yourself questions is helpful for the memory.
（4）What's the purpose of this passage？
A.To show that the writer's memory is bad.
B.To know some memory problems.
C.To share some ways of improving memory.
D.To teach some memory experiments.
四 阅读填空 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
7．（5分）When holding a party，people usually want to invite some friends and relatives.（1）
Writing a party invitation is an art.There are some important things when you prepare an invitation.In fact，it's easier to write an invitation than you think.It just takes some practice.
（2） It's strange to receive an invitation without knowing the host.If you plan to send an e mail invitation，guests might not even read the e﹣mail without the name of the host.
Secondly，your invitation should include the reason for holding the party.After receiving the invitation，guests can prepare proper clothes or the presents.And the date and the time of your party are also necessary.（3）
The next thing you should write on your invitation is the exact place where the party will be held.Maybe some of your guests don't know the location.（4） We know everyone can search online for it，but it's very nice to provide the information for the people who don't know much about the place.
（5） In this way，your guests can have enough time to prepare for your party.
A.If so，you should also include directions in the invitation.
B.But do you know how to write a party invitation？
C.Lastly，you should send invitations at least two weeks ahead of time.
D.Firstly，the name of the party's host should be written on your invitation.
E.It's even better to tell your guests how long the party lasts.

6．（8分）Many people say that they have a bad memory，especially when they are older.How can we improve our memory？
Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them.While this certainly helps short﹣term memory（remembering a telephone number for a few seconds，for example），psychologists（心理学家） aren't sure whether it can help you remember things for very long.The British psychologist E.C.Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers（祈祷文），especially for remembering numbers，is grouping the information.The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember：1492178919931848.But look at them in groups
According to experts，there are many ways of training your memory.Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized.One method，which may be useful in learning foreign languages，is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.
Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember.In experiments，people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill，when tested afterwards，they were able to recall 90% of them!
However，not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun.For those studying a large amount of information，psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along.So，if you were reading about a special disease，you would ask yourself questions like："Do people get it from water？"

A.It helps short﹣term memory for sure.
B.It helps to remember things for long.
C.It makes remembering things interesting.
D.It makes remembering prayers easily.

A.experts
B.ways
C.pictures
D.languages
（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ D
A.Creating a picture is useful in learning Maths.
B.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.
C.Remembering long numbers is easy for people.
D.Asking yourself questions is helpful for the memory.
（4）What's the purpose of this passage？ C
A.To show that the writer's memory is bad.
B.To know some memory problems.
C.To share some ways of improving memory.
D.To teach some memory experiments.
【分析】本文主要讲述了如何改善记忆力。重复事物可以帮助短期记忆，但对长期记忆效果不明确。分组信息可以帮助记忆数字。专家认为，训练记忆的方法有很多种，其中包括形成所要记忆事物的心理图像和编造包含所要记忆事物的故事。此外，提出问题并主动思考也是形成有意义连接的有效方法。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段Many think repeating is best to them.While certainly short﹣term a telephone for a seconds example） aren't whether can you things very 。虽然这确实有助于短期记忆（例如，但心理学家不确定它是否能帮助你长时间记住事情，故选A。
