17、Most people, regardless of intelligence or education, know little about memory. A revealing study by research psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris asked people simple questions about memory and then compared their answers with those of experts in memory research. The results show how
18、far removed from reality the publics beliefs about memory are. For instance, to the question “Is there a video camera in your head?” 63 per cent of people surveyed strongly agreed that human memory “works like a video camera, accurately recording the events we see and hear so that we can review and
19、inspect them later.” But none of the experts agreed that memory works like a video camera.So how does memory work? I prefer to describe it as something like an old man sitting by a campfire somewhere deep in your brain. He means well and wants to help, but he doesnt show you your past like some wiza
20、rd with a time entrance. The best he can do is tell you stories. And like all good storytellers, he edits for impact, efficiency, functionality, and clarity. He tells you what he assumes you need to know.Sometimes be may even embellish the tale by adding a bit of flavor. Or the old man might decide
21、to leave out a few things in order to spare you pain or shame. He also makes honest mistakeslots and lots of them. Sometimes he just gets confused or careless and leaves out something important. He could even include inaccurate information by accident.In other words, memory is associative and constr
22、uctive. Its not like files on a computer hard drive arranged by subject or placed in chronological (时间的) order. A memory will be put away and connected to other memories or concepts in ways that are not necessarily practical or logical. This is why a particular smell or sound may bring you a memory
23、even though it wasnt important in the original experience.The human brain is still a mysterious universe in many ways, of course. Fortunately, enough has been revealed to offer us some guidance toward wiser and safer navigations through daily life. Your memory is best thought of as helpful input.24.
24、 Why does the author mention the question “Is there a video camera in your head?” in paragraph 1?A. To introduce the research on memory done by psychologists.B. To prove that most people know little about memory.C. To show that peoples memory are in agreement with reality.D. To give readers a vivid
25、description about how memory works.25. What does the underlined word “embellish” probably mean in the third paragraph?A. Enrich B. Repeat. C. Invent. D. Recall.26. Why does the old man sometimes leave out something important?A. Because he often makes mistakes. B. Because he edits the story for chari
26、ty.C. Because he doesnt want you to suffer. D. Because he includes inaccurate information.27. What is most likely to be talked about in the next paragraph?A. What our brain is composed of. B. What we still dont know about memory.C. How the brain stores information. D. How we make better use of our m
27、emory.CCreated as recently as 2011, and mainly played by those aged over 50, walking football is growing at great pace in Britain. The game, where players walk rather than run, is designed to help aged people get fit or maintain an active lifestyle no matter what their age and fitness. According to
28、a 2019 survey, there were 1,200 registered clubs and an estimated 40.000 regular participants.North Ferriby Walking Football Club in East Yorkshire is one such example. “We started in 2015,” explains Mark Leighton, the teams manager. “The first week we started off, we probably only had four or five
29、players. Now we have 42 registered players taking part over three separate sessions each week. Marks immediate goal is to get the club to 50 registered players across four sessions a week.Andy Fairburn is a regular at the sessions. Now in his early-seventies, Andy finds the game still has plenty to
30、offer him. Ive been playing football since 16. Getting older, your knees start to hurt, and Ill know when its time to stop. I am sill competitive, though, and old habits die hard.”It goes beyond kicking a football around for players like Andy. “Theres a serious football side if you want to win and a
31、 friendship side. Id rather stick to the latter. Its brilliant to socialize with people through walking football.”Walking football is clearly a success story with much to be proud of. However, its striking that 87 per cent of clubs reported that less than 10 per cent of players are female. And not a

35、ph mainly talk about?A. Theres work to be done to promote the game. B. Most women dont like playing football.C. Walking football clubs can be profitable. D. The findings of the 2019 survey are wrong.DAs the threat against coral reefs has increased, researchers are introducing innovative methods to f
36、arm healthy corals more efficiently.Unlike the traditional way of growing corals in the ocean, land-based nurseries nurture (培育) corals in tanks before planting them onto reefs. While the operations tend to come with a high price tag and are more labor intensive, they provide an opportunity to raise
37、 corals in a controlled environment where experimental methods could be used and allows for repairing reefs on a massive scale.These methods include growing corals in tanks on land, or using advanced techniques to promote growth rates and adaptability to the changing environment. Coral Vita, a for-p
38、rofit company in Grand Bahama, can now grow corals up to 50 times faster than in nature by cutting corals into small pieces, a process known as “microfragmentation”.The farm is also equipped with a high-tech aquaculture system, referred to by Coral Vita employees as the “life support system,” which
39、can regulate water quality through temperature, pH and other adjustable settings. The system can be set up elsewhere with some adjustments for a regions specific coral. “It can be very plug and play, which is really important for large-scale restoration,” says Teicher, founder of Coral Vita.The pote
40、ntial for large scale is critical to Coral Vias business plan, which is connected to the idea or “selling restoration as a service”. In 2021, Coral Vita signed its first restoration contracts with the Grand Bahama Port Authority. “There are about 100 countries and regions with coral reefs,” Teicher
41、says. There need to be large-scale coral farms in every single one of them. The amount of funding in the non-profit space is a drop in the bucket, and our model could help make the field less dependent on donations.”Marine biologist David Vaughan points out that Coral Vita may have a couple million
42、dollars in start-up costs and plants fewer than 5,000 to 10,000 corals a year. “That isnt the economic scale that we need to get this to,” Vaughan says, adding hundreds of thousands of operations “costing couple of dollars a coral” will be required.32.

Because the model can help him become rich.B. Because the model is required by the authority.C. Because there are fewer non-pro
45、fit companies.D. Because donations are not enough for restoration.35. What is Vaughans attitude towards Coral Vitas plan?A. Approving. B. Skeptical. C. Unclear. D. Tolerant.第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its the start of a new academic year and theres every reas
