【題目】 Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. 【1】 As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things; they don’t remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses, cellphones or other small items. These are usually signs of mild forgetfulness, not serious memory problems.

【2】 For example, medication side effects, vitamin B12 shortage, alcoholism, tumors(腫瘤) or infections in the brain can cause memory loss. A doctor should treat serious medical conditions like these as soon as possible.

Emotional problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression, can make a person more forgetful. For instance, someone who has recently retired or who is coping with the death of a relative or a friend may feel sad, lonely or worried. 【3】

The confusion and forgetfulness caused by emotions are usually temporary and go away when the feelings fade. The emotional problems can be eased by supportive friends and family. 【4】 Treatment may include counseling, medication or both.

If you’re concerned that you or someone you know has a serious memory problem, talk with your doctor. 【5】 Health care professionals can recommend ways to manage the problem or make suggestions on treatment or services that might help you out.

A. Consider participating in clinical trials or studies.

B. It’s advisable to have health issues treated in time.

C. He or she can diagnose the problem or refer you to a specialist.

D. But if they last for a long time, it is necessary to get help from a doctor.

E. Some memory problems are related to health issues that may be treatable.

F. As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain.

G. Trying to deal with these life changes leaves some people confused or forgetful.

【2】E

【3】G

【題目】 There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.

Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.

To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.

Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.

B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.

C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.

D.Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.

【2】The word "subject" in the passage means _________.

A.the theme of listening materialB.the student experimented on

C.a branch of knowledge studiedD.a native speaker

【3】From Henning's result we can see that ________.

A.advanced students always remember words by their meaning

B.beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words

C.it is difficult to remember words that sound alike

D.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning

【4】The passage centers on ________.

A.an experiment on studentsB.two kinds of memory

C.short-term memoryD.memory

【題目】For Zack, the shave was more than just a way to fund lifesaving research. It was a way to honor his late brother, Taylor Frink.

Taylor, a volunteer firefighter in North Carolina, was killed in a car accident last September. Before his passing, Taylor was an eager supporter of St. Baldrick’s. He went bald（禿頭）for the cause in 2015, supporting kids with cancer and raising money to find cures.

As a local hero, Taylor was beloved by the community. When he died, more than 1, 000 people attended his funeral to pay their respects. Zack looked up to his brother and this was the reason why he decided to become a junior firefighter himself. They did everything together. Zack remembers.

Zack knew his brother had planned to shave again in 2016, so without hesitation he decided to fill his shoes and registered to shave at the local St. Baldrick’s event in Kinston, N. C.

“He was always goodhearted, and I want to make my brother proud,” shares Zack.

As part of Zack’s kindnesses, he raised more than $ 1,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation primarily by selling T-shirts he designed. Leading up to the event, Zack also visited his city council, commissioner’s office and challenged the local official department to get involved.

“We are not going to let Taylor’s name be forgotten. That is what I love about St Baldrick’s,” says Jean Culbreth, volunteer event organizer. “Zack gets it. He gets that what he is doing is keeping his brother’s name alive.”

The day finally came and Zack took his seat under the clippers (剪具), not only to honor his brother but to help kids with cancer. It was a special moment for all, and by the end of the day the event had raised more than $ 22,000!

【1】Why did Taylor Frink go bald?

【題目】 Imagine you're standing in line to buy an afterschool snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.

【1】 As technology companies move away from traditional password, biometric(生物識(shí)別) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.

In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.

【2】 “Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometric expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”

When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature at Apple’s Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “【3】”

But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.

“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS news. “No security systems are perfect.”

Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smartphone for police.

“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. 【4】”

A. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined.

B. Security experts don’t think it absolutely necessary to use biometric technology.

C. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.

D. Now, this type of technology might not be far away.

E. If a person’s biometric information is stolen, that could have extremely serious consequences for that individual

F. The chance that a random person could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with his face is about one in a million.

【題目】 For many families, a night at the ballpark is a treat. But it can be a terrible experience for those with autistic（自閉癥的）children, who are sensitive to light and noise and usually become upset and scared.

For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situations—and how others will react to them-keeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have.

Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician（兒科醫(yī)生）in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the community didn't serve her patients well in the long run.

"If kids are not in the community, building their skills from very young ages, then there's no reason to expect them to be independent one day," Ross said. "It's a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting."

So in 2007, Ross set out to do just that. Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits.

Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights", when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume （音量）on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. "You can't turn down the volume of the world," Ross said. "It's nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night."

To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program.

She armed all the Phillies players and game-day staff with knowledge about autism and how to interact with individuals who have the disorder. Each family is also provided a clinician at the game who gives additional support if problems arise. She also helps prepare the families for the event.

Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles, she trains airline and security staff at major airports and then guides families through the travel experience, including checking in, going through security and boarding a plane.

Ross hopes that the tools she gives families can help them explore other settings on their own. "We really see it as a stepping stone to a brighter future," she said.

【1】According to Ross, what does a social disability mean?

A.Fearing light and noise.

B.Lacking social experience.

C.Having to rely on others for help.

D.Being separated from the community.

【2】What does the underlined part "do more,, imply?

A.Making the ballpark less noisy.

B.Making baseball teams autism-friendly.

C.Providing a normal game for autistic children.

D.Encouraging autistic children to go out into public.

【3】What is the Philadelphia Phillies?

A.A baseball team.

B.A baseball game.

C.A team of clinicians.

D.Families with autistic children.

【4】What is the purpose of Ross's airport travel program?

A.To help families to learn about air travel.

B.To teach airport staff knowledge about autism.

C.To teach autistic children how to travel by air.

D.To help autistic children get used to social situations.
