2．Phineas Barnum is the best-known circus business owner of the nineteenth century.He excelled as a showman，and throughout his career in the entertainment business，he promoted many different forms of attractions.
Barnum's first industry was as a newspaper owner.He also worked as a writer and publisher.His enduring fame，however，is as a showman.Barnum considered this to be his main talent and he never changed this view of his character.
Barnum's entertainment interests covered museums，traveling dance groups，and even the mid-century US tour by Jenny Lind，the Swedish singer.He was，by nature，a risk-taker，and usually gained success from the most unlikely enterprises.
Barnum was willing to adopt any tactic that publicized his businesses.His American Museum in New York included hoaxes and freaks（惡作劇和怪物），both human and animal.This was not unusual by the standards of the time，but even he felt the need to prove his hoaxes fair，as advertising tricks.
Barnum's unbounded self-confidence meant he never doubted his ability to make a success of any business.He opened America's first aquarium（水族館）and opened a theater in New York that was the largest and most modern in the city.He aimed to change the public knowledge of theaters，and in this，he largely succeeded.He made theater-going respectable.
Determination and hard work featured majorly in the qualities that Barnum displayed，and he frequently spoke about the necessity of both.He believed success only came to those who worked for it and knew they had the self-determination necessary.He also stated the necessity of understanding the business that a person was running.And he certainly knew the entertainment business.

3．Carpenter is the lead author of a paper in Nature Reviews Psychology that examined more than 100 years of research on learning.
"The benefits of spacing and retrieval practice have been confirmed over and over in studies in labs，classrooms，workplaces，but the reason why we're presenting this research is that these two techniques haven't fully caught on.If they were employed all the time，we'd see big increases in learning，"said Carpenter.
In the paper，Carpenter and her co-authors describe spacing as a strategy to learn in small amounts over time.It's the opposite of cramming（塞滿） the night before an exam.In one study，medical students who received repeated surgery training over three weeks performed better and faster on tests 2 weeks and 1 year later compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day.
Carpenter says there isn't a universal rule about how much time to schedule between practice sessions.But research shows returning to the material after forgetting some—but not all—of the content is effective.
Retrieval practice is a strategy that involves recalling what was learned previously.It can take many forms，including flash cards，practice tests and open-ended writing prompts，and helps learners recognize what they do and don't know.The paper's authors emphasize that people who check their responses for errors or get feedback right away learn even better.
More than 200 studies show people generally maintain more information for longer periods of time with retrieval practice compared to strategies that do not involve retrieval （e.g.，re-reading a textbook.）
The authors argue people who combine spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering information.
"Forgetting is a very natural thing；you can't stop forgetting even if you try，but you can slow down forgetting by using retrieval practice and spacing，" said Carpenter.
Carpenter says she uses digital tools （e.g.，online practice quizzes，clicker questions） to incorporate retrieval practice and spacing into her university courses，but there are other ways to bring these strategies into the classroom.
（1）Why do the author and his group present this research？
A．Because people don't accept the two techniques.
B．Because the two techniques haven't popularized.
C．Because people have much difficulty in learning.
D．Because the two techniques are taking little effect.
（2）How does Carpenter prove spacing is superior to cramming？
A．By studying some cases.
B．By receiving some training.
C．By applying some rules.
D．By scheduling some time.
（3）What can retrieval practice help people to get？
A．Self assessment.
B．Wide recognition.
C．Positive response.
D．General strategies.
（4）What might Carpenter talk about in the following paragraphs？
A．The benefits of spacing and retrieval practice.
B．Potential ways used to slow down forgetting.
C．Arguments about what to do to stop forgetting.
D．Other university courses worth remembering.組卷：17引用：3難度：0.5 -
4．Never losing memories
"I want my video to record my most authentic high school memory and that of everyone in China who has gone through gaokao，"said Lian Yingcheng，20，a student from Shenzhen University.The 18-minute vlog of his three-year high school life got over I million views on Bilibili.
However，Lian said that he didn't expect this video to go viral at all when he was making it.
"I have loved using videos to record my life for a long time and post vlogs from time to time on my Bilibili channel 'Mark Lian'，"Lian said."The idea of this long vlog has been in my mind since I started high school."
Throughout the three years of high school life，Lian's camera went everywhere.No matter if it was a tug-of-war（拔河） activity，before a big exam，or simply just a Tuesday noon when everyone was running toward the canteen，Lian was always there to capture the reactions of him and his classmates."I didn't want to deliberately（刻意地） design any scene，"he said.That's why his video is more like a documentary.
With Lian's narration in the background，the video tells the story of an ordinary high school boy who struggles to fight gaokao，constantly questioning himself and rebuilding his confidence.The friendship between him and his classmates，the resilience（堅(jiān)韌） through difficulties and his broad outlook after failure are all reflected in the scenes and his vivid words."The original idea in my mind was to tell an inspirational，encouraging story of gaokao，but then my gaokao result didn't turn out that well.After dealing with the pain，I realized that accepting failure and regrets is a more important lesson to learn than getting my wish，"Lian said.
People in the comment section expressed how much they could relate to the delicate emotions in the video.Some said that Lian did something they couldn't do."I realized that this means more than just recording my life and thoughts，"Lian said."I want to keep on running this channel，to touch and warm more people in the future."
（1）When did Lian start to have the idea of this long vlog？
A．When he started high school.

C．Accept your failures and move on.

Frank threw himself into his seat in the back of the Milwaukee city bus along with several other high school boys.It was another cold，gray day.
He still remembered his stomach chilling（使寒冷） into a frozen knot as he approached the locker room last month.He had read the team list posted on the locker room door，hoping.searching anxiously for his name.It hadn't been there.It was missing.He had felt suddenly as if he had ceased（停止） to exist.Become invisible.
It wasn't easy starting a new school，especially for Frank because he had been a star athlete in all sports at elementary school.Now，it seemed，he was nothing.
The bus came to a stop at the County Institutions grounds.A very pregnant woman hung onto the silver handrail（扶手） and slowly pulled herself onto the bus.As she fell backward into the seat behind the bus driver，her feet kicked up，and Frank saw that she wasn't wearing any shoes.
The bus driver yelled over his shoulder，"Where are your shoes，lady？It is freezing out there."
"I can't afford shoes，"the woman answered."I got on the bus just to get my feet warm."the woman continued."If you don't mind，I'll just ride around with you for a bit."Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and rolled their eyes.
The driver scratched（撓） his head and shouted，"Now just tell me how come you can't afford shoes？"
"I got eight kids.They all got shoes.There's not enough left for me."
Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes.His feet were warm and cozy.And then he looked back at the woman.Her socks were tore.Her coat，missing buttons，hung open around her stomach，as swollen（腫大的） as a basketball.
Frank didn't hear anything around him after that.The word "invisible"popped into his mind again.An invisible person forgotten by society，but for a different reason，he thought.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右：
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Paragraph 1：

He then hurried to the door when he heard the woman exclaim."Thank you，young man."
