In their busy efforts to celebrate the season, they paid little attention to their military(军事的) duties. Therefore. Washingtons troops were able to defeat the German soldiers easily.After the war in 1776,many Germans stayed in the United Stales. They introduced the Christmas tree and shared their traditions. The size of the tree was limited lo 8 feet, and decorations inc1uded do11s and sugar items. As the years went by, the Americans realized the need for a Christmas tree market. The first supplier Mark Carr from the Catski11 Mountains in New York, cut down fir(杉木) trees that grew in a11 places. He then sent the trees to New York City to sell.

D Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind （提醒）ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overleatning explains why crammingJ(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.32.Whatthe main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B.

It increases students learning interest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Cellphones play an important role in our daily life.More and more people from a11 walks of life would rather spend time on their ce11phones than communicate with others. 36 When parents use their ce11phones instead of spending time with their children, some research shows that children are more likely to develop 1anguage delays and disorders. 37 84-year-old Qian Youqiong is a we11-known pediatrician(儿科医生) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. In 2013, Qian published an article. In the article, he told parents to put away their ce11phones at home. 38 But three years later, the situation has gotten worse.Qian meets with three to four cases of children with 1anguage difficulties on a weekly basis.“I am worried that the trend is going to rise with parents relying more and more on their cellphones,” he said. One boy named Bobo came to Qian. 39 After ruling out other possible causes, a lack of language stimulation became the likely reason for Bobos delayed development. Qian found that Bobos parents both spent a great deal of time on their ce11phones every day and rarely talk to Bobo. 40 But how?
