听力原文： Some of the most practical lessons coming out of research in psychology are in the area of memory. People ask, why can't I remember that term from the physics chapter or that the library books are due？

For many people, memory may be weak, because they don't use it enough. It's like a muscle. If you don't exercise it, it won't get strong. That's why it's important to keep our mind active, to keep on learning throughout our life. We can do this by reading, playing memory games and seeking out new experiences. It's my guess, though, that the lack of stimulation isn't a problem for students like you. More likely, the lives you live are so busy and stimulating that this in itself may sometimes interfere with learning. Later on I will discuss how information is recalled from memory. But, first, the information needs to be recorded, in other words, learned. And for busy people like you and me, that is where the real problem often lies. If we are distracted, or we are trying to think what we are going to do next, the incoming message just might not be getting recorded effectively. And that leads to the first tip for students who want to improve their memories. Give your full attention to the information you hope to retain. Research clearly shows the advantages of this, and also of active learning, of consciously trying to visualize a new fact, perhaps to make a mental picture, even a wild ridiculous one, so the new fact will stick in our memory. Let me illustrate that for you here a little more concretely this evening.

(30)

A．Factors that affect the ability to memorize]

B．The influence of childhood memories on adulthood.

C．A proposal for future psychological research.

D．Benefits of a busy lifestyle.

听力原文： Hi, there. Let me make a brief introduction of the brain first.

The brain tells the other parts of the body what to do. We think with our brain. We understand the world around us with our brain. However, doctors don't know much about how the brain works. Doctors can do many things with other parts of the body.

They can give a person a new heart. They can put an arm back on 'after it has been cut off. It is easy to study some parts of the body. However, it is difficult to know how the brain works. It is most difficult to work on a brain. If the brain is without enough blood for three to five minutes, the brain dies. So when doctors work on the brain, they only have three to five minutes to do their work] Doctors try new things on the brain, but they must be very careful. The brain is the center of those things that make us what we are.

Which of the following can't doctors do？

A．They can give a person a new heart.

B．They can give a person a new brain.

C．They can put an arm back on after it has been cut off.

SECTION B PASSAGES

听力原文： In the United States, couples usually receive gifts from their relatives and blends when they get married. Sometimes a bride will exchange a gift for something else if she doesn't find it useful. We give gifts to express our good wishes for the marriage, but gifts aren't necessary for the marriage itself. However, in some societies gifts are very important, and the marriage isn' t legal without them. One type of gift is called bride service. A young husband must work for his wife' s family. He may work for as long as fifteen years or until the third child is born. Bride service may seem strange to us, but it is necessary in societies where people don' t have money or material things to exchange at marriage.

A bride can ______ if she finds her marriage gift useless.

A．ask for another gift

B．exchange it for something useful

C．return it to the giver

D．just keep it

SECTION B PASSAGES

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文： To play their music well, jazz musicians don't really need to know a lot about the rules of harmony and rhythm. Of course they might have knowledge of both harmony and rhythm, but that kind of knowledge isn't what makes them good jazz musicians. What does make them good is having an intuitive feeling for how the music works. For artists in the medium of jazz, the music comes naturally. It flows almost spontaneously through them. Their music performance is not planned in advance. As they play, they don't monitor themselves in terms of a formal theory of performance. As a result, jazz is a natural expression of moods and feelings of the artists, a moment by moment expression of the self. Now you are in for a treat. I brought some recordings of my favorite jazz artists. We'll spend some time listening to some examples of really good jazz.

According to the speaker, what is the distinctive characteristic of good jazz musicians？

A．They must be rich in the knowledge of harmony and rhythm.

B．They should be enthusiastic when composing music.

C．They should follow their intuition to let the music come out naturally.

D．They would perform. the music with guidance of formal theory.

A.elevate

B. emigrate

C. eloquent

D. eliminate
