Passage One

You remember things every day, but how do you do it? You find a telephone number in the phone book, dial it and then forget it. This is your short-term memory. It lasts less than 30 seconds. However you don’t look in the phone book for your best friend’s number. You know it. This is a long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything you remember.

Why do you forget something? What is the reason? You did not learn it in the beginning. This is the major reason for forgetting. But you can remember better. Here are some ideas.

Passage Two

It was a happy combination of mountains, sea, and sun which made farming become the leading industry of the Southern Colonies (殖民地).The ocean made plentiful clouds, the clouds hitting the mountains made of plentiful rain washing down the mountains for thousands of years had built a wide plain of fertile(肥沃)soil. The rivers which had brought down the soil were steep near the mountains, but near the coast they were wide and rolling, deep enough for the small boats of the time to sail for miles. It was far enough south for the summers to be hot, so that the growing season lasted from six month in Maryland to about nice in South Carolina. If you add these ideal farming conditions to the early discovery of a New World crop which was always in demand in the Old world, you will readily understand why the Southern Colonies became a farming group.

Tobacco! This was the breath of life in Virginia, the oldest of the Southern Colonies. Men talked, thought, and bought in tobacco. It was a farming country, and other crop were also grown, but while the Southerner might have competition in the production of fruits and grains(wheat and rice and barley大麦)， in tobacco he was a master. Tobacco! It was a magic word. Everything revolved around its production and it had a tremendous effect upon life in the South.

59.“A New world crop” in the last sentence of the 1st paragraph most probably refers to_____

A)wheat B)rice C)tobacco D)barley

60. According to this passage ideal farming conditions in the Southern Colonies mainly consisted of_______

A)a long coast and high mountains

B)plentiful rain and the long growing season C)hot summers and steep mountain rivers D)plentiful clouds and deep soil

A)Competition in producing fruits and grains.
