As I cried in my room that evening, I immediately took a deep breath and decided I wouldn't stop dreaming.I decide that I would   4   for elections again in my final year at school-and I would win.

Suddenly, I realized that I had    9   much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people along the way.

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分）

第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

You've raced to the supermarket only to realise you've left the shopping list home. You need to memorise which groceries to pick up before you forget. Thankfully, there's a memory aid that's perfect for the job: the peg-word method.

What is the peg-word method?

It employs a set of pre-determined words, regarded as peg words, for the to-be-remembered information. Peg words act as a structure to help you remember particular items. Essentially, you're hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily.

 

Initially, to use this method, you will have to remember the peg words as well as the numbers:

 

The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun（小圆面包）together.The more unusual you can make your image,the more likely you are to remember it. In this case, you could imagine a bun drinking a glass of milk.

Why is it useful?

As the case shows, it is most useful when it comes to remembering lists and you can recall the listed items easily in order. Another way to use this memory aid is to memorise important numbers,like phone numbers or dates. For instance, you need to remember that William Shakespeare was born in the year 1564. First, change that number to bun-hive-sticks-door. Then imagine a story to help you remember the series:

William Shakespeare put a bun in a beehive to coat it in honey, but he didn't like how sticky it became so he threw it at a door.

The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information,please visit https://jojomemory.com/.

21.How can we apply the peg-word method to recall an item?

A.List out different meanings of the item.

B.Visualise the item and memorize its image.

C.Choose the item's peg word and remember it.

D. Create a visual link between the item and its peg word.

22.What is the best way to remember the number 347 with the peg words in the table?

A.A hen drinks from a bottle of wine.

B.A load of eggs grow like fruit on a tree.

C.A tree grows through the door to heaven.
