10、.DSociety for Economic Botany.BNot all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean，an Sshaped body of water covering about 29.6 million square miles.The Atlantic has，in a sense，replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas，which seem st
11、rangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”，a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankinds earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the win
12、d is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the oceans breast.As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noiseit is forever thundering，
13、boiling，crashing，and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath perhaps not so noticeably out in midocean，but where it meets land，its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic e
14、xistences，too：unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of subocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough an

17、ood personCa wonderful worldDa lovely animalCGrownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get
18、on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins“Twinkle，twinkle，little star”or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.O
19、ne explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we
20、 have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as“Twinkle，twinkle，little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the t
21、hings that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming，a student may learn the subject
22、 well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for ones future development.8What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?APeople remember well what they learned in childhood.BChildren have a b

25、DIt increases students learning interest.DWilliam Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，was born in Dublin on June 13，1865.His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family.Later，Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered“little of childhood but its pain”In fact，he inh
26、erited(继承)excellent taste in art from his familyboth his father and his brother were painters.But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama(戏剧)and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements.He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in th
27、e late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning.He didnt lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works，Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and
28、 aging.Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms，he brought modern sensibility to them.As his literary life progressed，his poetry grew finer and richer，which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet，he continued w
29、riting almost to the end of his life.Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet，for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.After Yeatss death in 1939，W.H.Auden wrote，among others，t

31、an artistic atmosphere.13According to the passage, what do we know about Yeatss life?AYeats founded the first Irish theater.BYeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.CYeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.DYeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize.14What kind of

33、ies，and government agencies use secret codes in doing business，especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 16 Code breaking never lags(落后)far behind code making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There a
34、re three main types of cryptography. 17 For example，the first letters of“My elephant eats too many eels”spell out the hidden message“Meet me” 18 You might represent each letter with a number，for example.Lets number the letters of the alphabet，in order，from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each
35、letter，the message“Meet me”would read“13 5 5 20 13 5”A code uses symbols to replace words，phrases，or sentences.To read the message of a real code，you must have a code book. 19 For example，“bridge”might stand for“meet”and“out”might stand for“me.”The message“Bridge out”would actually mean“Meet me.” 20
36、 However，it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long.So codes must be changed frequently.AIt is very hard to break a code without the code book.BIn any language，some letters are used more than others.COnly people who know the keyword can read the message.DAs long as there have been codes，peo
37、ple have tried to break them.EYou can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.FWith a code book，you might write down words that would stand for other words.GAnother way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分1
