Once the 2008 Olympic Games finishes, the drums and trumpets(喇叭) of the competitions would also stop. But would the city remain as lively as it would be after this world event? Investment sustainability and high demand are two highly invaluable economic concepts(概念) that can be looked at in order to ensure post-Olympics flourish, or perhaps, an even better future for Beijingers.

    Naturally, an economic downturn occurs in an Olympic host city once the major event finishes. Renmin University Professor Jin Yuanpu noted that a global event like this would put Beijing into a position of large importance in the international stage. But after this event, who would use the heavily-funded equipment and public and private investments left in the city? Various economists argued that a meltdown (徹底垮臺) is highly unlikely. Jonathan Anderson, UBS Asia economist, suggested that the negative effects of the end of Beijing Olympics 2008 on the entire country aren’t important compared to previous host cities. China is such a huge economy that the conclusion of the Olympics games is the same as an ant-bite on a dragon.

    But what about post-Olympics Beijing? Retired Headmaster of Peking University, Li Yining, noted that a long-term civil demand growth and a popular desire by companies to adopt careful financial management decisions can lead to continued investment growth. Even though demand in some departments of the economy would drop in the short-run, creativity, practicality and innovation(創(chuàng)新) would be the key factors that would continually enhance the city's image and flourish long after the Olympics in the city has ended.

    So what's next for Beijing after the Olympics? Well, it's business as usual...

Which one of the followings is the author’s idea?

   A. Beijing’s economy will have a downturn after the 2008 Olympic Games.

   B. The 2008 Olympic Games have no effects on Beijing’s economy.

   C. Beijing’s economy will go on as usual.

   D. Beijing’s economy will go worse after the 2008 Olympic Games.

What’s the Jin Yuanpu idea about Beijing’s economy after the 2008 Olympic Games according to the passage?

   A. to have a downturn

   B. to develop as usual

   C. to develop more rapidly

   D. all of the above

Why did Jonathan Anderson believe that the negative effects of the end of Beijing Olympics 2008 on the entire country aren’t important?

   A. The negative effects are small.

   B. The Chinese government has many measures to take.

   C. The Chinese economy has developed at a certain level so that the negative effects can’t affect it too much.

   D. Jonathan Anderson liked China very much so he didn’t want China to go worse.

Choose a best title for this passage.

   A. Beijing After the Olympics

   B. The negative effects of the end of Beijing Olympics

   C. Can Beijing get through the difficult period after the 2008 Olympic Games

   D. Beijing’s economy after the 2008 Olympic Games

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年浙江省高三第二次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The ability to memorize things seems to be a vanishing （消失的） technique．So what can we do to bring out brain cells back into action? A newly published book on memory, Moomvalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, by American journalist Joshua Foer, makes a telling point, one that is an analysis of the importance of memorising events and stories in human history; the decline of its role in modem life; and the techniques that we need to adopt to restore the art of remembering．

As For points out, we no longer need to remember telephone numbers．Our mobile phones do that for us．We don't recall addresses either．We send emails from computers that store electronic addresses．Nor do we bother to remember multiplication tables （乘法表） ．Pocket calculators do the job of multiplying quite nicely．Museums, photographs, the digital media and books also act as storehouses for memories that once we had to keep in mind．

As a result, we no longer remember long poems or folk stories by heart, feats （技藝） of memory that were once the cornerstones of most people's lives．Indeed, society has changed so much that we no longer know what techniques we should employ to remember such lengthy works．We are, quite simply, forgetting how to remember．

And let's face it, there is nothing sadder than someone who has lost their mobile phone and who finds they cannot even phone home or call their parents or partners because they cannot remember a single telephone number．That is a sad example of loss of personal independence．So, yes, there is a need for us to he able to remember certain things in life．

Therefore, Foer's book outlines the methods that need to be mastered in order to promote our memories and regain the ability to recall long strings of names, numbers or faces．In the process, he adds, we will become more aware of the world about us．

The trick, Foer says, is to adopt a process known as " elaborative encoding", which involves transforming information, such as a shopping list, into a series of "absorbing visual images"．If you want to remember a list of household objects—potatoes, cottage cheese, sugar and other items, then visualise them in an unforgettable manner, he says．Start by creating an image of a large jar of potatoes standing in the garden．Next to it, imagine a giant tub of cottage cheese—the size of an outdoor pool—and then picture Lady Gaga swimming in it．And so on．Each image should be as fantastic and memorable as possible．

Using methods like this, it becomes possible to achieve great feats of memory quite easily, Foer says．It certainly seems to have worked for him: he won the annual US Memory Championships after learning how to memorize 120 random digits in five minutes; the first and last names of 156 strangers in 15 minutes; and a deck of cards in under two minutes．"What I had really trained my brain to do, as much as to memorise, was to be more mindful and to pay attention to the world around," he says．

These techniques employed by Foer to master his memory were developed by Ed Cooke—a British writer and a world memory championship grandmaster．He acted as Foer's trainer during preparations for the book and helped him achieve his championship performances．" Memory techniques do just one thing: they make information more meaningful to the mind, making the things we try to learn unforgettably bright and amusing," said Cooke．

1.Which of the following is conveyed in this article?

A．People become more independent with modern equipment．

B．The memory's role in life is declining in modem society．

C．Memory techniques can make information less meaningful．

D．Ed Cooke is the first one who benefited from Foer's techniques．

2.According to Joshua Foer, people no longer memorize information today because________．

A．museums can do everything for them．

B．they no longer have the ability to memorize things．

C．they have things that can act as storehouses for memories．

D．it is not necessary to memorize anything in modem life．

3.One method of memorizing things mentioned in the passage is to ________．

A．link things to famous pop stars

B．find the connection between different things

C．form vivid, unforgettable images of certain things

D．use advanced digital imaging technology to help

4.The underlined word "visualise" in the last paragraph most probably means "_______"．

A．imagine

B．undertake

C．remark

D．indicate

5.This passage can be sorted as ________．

A．a(chǎn) news report

B．a(chǎn)n advertisement

C．a(chǎn) scientific discovery

D．a(chǎn) book review
