‎　Unit 3　A taste of English humour Ⅰ.阅读理解 ‎[2020·成都第三次诊断]Can you trust your very first childhood memories? Maybe not, a new study suggests.‎ Past studies show that people's earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3.5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middleaged and older adults.‎ For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldn't be based on a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form.‎ As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or feeling sad, the researchers explained.‎ ‎“We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is... a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood，” study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release. “Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory－like mental representations come, over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are ‘memories’ which particularly point to babyhood.”‎ ‎“Importantly, the person remembering them doesn't know this is fictional，” study co－author Martin Conway said. “In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often don't believe it.”‎ - 9 -‎ ‎1．What can we learn from the recent study?‎ A．Memories form after the age of 3.‎ B．Participants are good at telling stories.‎ C．Adults are likely to form false memories.‎ D．Earliest memories may play a trick on us.‎ ‎2．Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories?‎ A．A direct experience.

An informative speech has a purpose to inform, or give knowledge to its audience. __1__ For persuasive speech, the speaker would try to change the mindset, perception, or behavior of the audience for their own good. Thus, the speaker needs to look for common ground with the audience and try to relate to what they might agree on. The last type is a ceremonial speech. It tends to be less formal and more personal than the other types of speeches. No matter how well you know the person you are giving speech to, try not to say bad things about them, even if it is meant to be a joke.‎ ‎__2__ Sparing some time to practice will help build confidence and help determine how long the presentation will last. Aside from it, knowing who the audience will be is quite necessary. Try to get as much information as possible regarding this particular area related to the audience. Knowing the “battlefield” in advance ‎ - 9 -‎ will give the speakers a huge advantage. ‎ Language is the main aspect a speaker needs to pay attention to while giving a speech. __3__ A speaker needs to choose their words carefully and make it clear to the audience what they mean. Often, when given a speech, the audience look to the speaker to give them something new and useful. __4__ Language and delivery(演讲方式) alone will not be sufficient if the speaker does not have the body language. The movement and gesture of a speaker also affect the audience. While closing the speech or presentation, speakers can restate their main points, just to remind the audience of the important things that have been said. __5__‎ A．It needs to be used clearly.‎ B．These speeches mark special occasions.‎ C．The important thing to watch about is not to put in too much information.‎ D．The key of perfecting anything is through practice, including public speaking.‎ E．They can also end it with a special message and encourage the audience to ask questions.‎ F．Knowing how public speaking is done is a key part in understanding the importance of it. ‎ G．Thus, the speaker needs to know how to deliver their speech to fulfill the audience's expectation.‎ Ⅲ.完形填空 ‎[2019·南昌重点中学高三年级段考试题]When I was born there was already another youngster in the family — a collie dog just three months old.‎ Laddie __1__ near me, ate with me and played with me.
