5 . People may typically think of memory as the recollection of the past. Memory enables people to learn from past experiences and apply that knowledge in present cases. It is an important part of our identity. So is culture, the way of life specific to a group of people.

Cultural memory is the constructed understanding of the past that is passed from one generation to the next through text, oral traditions, monuments and other symbols. Cultural memory is often amassed in objects, such as museums or historical monuments. To understand culture, humans access a mass of cultural symbols, such as books. Artifacts (历史文物) of the past provide insights into where we came from. Libraries and the Internet keep a seemingly boundless amount of data on what it means to be part of a culture. Cultural memory is the longest-lasting form of memory.

Like all forms of memory, cultural memory has important functions. For example, it makes the experiences a nation owns clear. It provides us with an understanding of the past and the values of the group to which we belong. Besides, it creates a form of shared identity and a means for communicating this identity to new members. The most powerful forms of cultural memory may involve memories of past disastrous experiences undergone by groups of victims. For example, in Russia, their role in World War II —in which tens of millions of Russians were killed — is still an important part of modern Russian identity. Because all groups have cultural memory, it can bring about a spirit of resistance or survival among threatened groups.

The main function of cultural memory is not to recall the past, whether it is good or bad. Rather, it is to use knowledge of past experiences to avoid making the same mistakes again and again. Aleida Assmann, a professor who has worked on memory theory since the 1960s, calls this “remembering forward”. Cultural memory enables people to adapt to their culture; it enables cultures to adapt to new circumstances by keeping traces (痕迹) of what worked in the past.

1. What is the function of the first paragraph?

A．Reporting a discovery of cultural memory.

B．Leading to the concept of cultural memory.

C．Introducing the importance of memory in identity.

D．Making a connection between memory and culture.

2. Which can replace the underlined word “amassed” in paragraph 2?

A．Stored.

B．Ignored.

C．Damaged.

D．Created.

3. Russia is mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate ______.

A．the features of cultural memory	B．the formation of cultural memory
C．the role of big events in Russian identity	D．the impact of cultural memory on identity

4. What is cultural memory mainly expected to do?

A．Pass previous wisdom down.	B．Keep traces of history.
C．Get people to know about the past.	D．Remind people of their identity.

7 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

This is the first time that I     1     (spend) the Naadam Festival with my friend Burin in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region this year. The festival,     2     (represent) by horse racing, wrestling and archery, falls on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar,     3     usually lasts for three days.

Of the three events, two have left a deep impression     4     me: wrestling and horse racing. Mongolian wrestling is different from     5     in the Olympic Games. There are no     6     (round) and wrestlers are not separated by weight. The wrestler loses if any part of his body above his knee touches the ground.

There is no need to worry about their safety, for they have been riding horses all their lives. It is no wonder that people say “Horses are at     9     heart of Mongolian culture”.

Though I am tired now, celebrating Naadam with my friend was     10     (total) worth it.

10 . After skating, skiing or shoveling snow, nothing warms you up better than a cup of hot cocoa though today it will be topped with marshmallows (棉花软糖), you may not know that chocolate was first consumed in liquid form by the Olmec people of northwestern Central America around 1500 B. C.

However, the Olmec people didn’t serve their coco a hot. And since sugar had not yet arrived from Europe back then, the drink was often flavoured with peppers and spices. After the Spanish arrived in the Americas in the 1500s, liquid chocolate made its way across the pond, where wealthy Europeans added sugar and drank it warm. According to Chocolate: History, Culture and Heritage, hot chocolate became ‘the drink of the aristocracy (贵族)”, as sugar was still a luxury.

Soon enough, though, hot chocolate caught on with the masses. Chocolate houses started springing up around 17th-century Europe. However, by the end of the 18th century, chocolate houses had mostly died off, because the input of chocolate was much dearer than that of coffee or tea.

Marshmallows first came into the picture in 1917, when the company, Angelus Marshmallows, published a recipe for hot cocoa topped with their product. Instant coco a is another American invention, created in the late 1950s when dairy company owner, Charles Sanna, faced an oversupply of powered coffee creamer. His solution was mixing the creamer sugar and coco a powder together, thus creating a Formula (配方) favored by many.

Taking a tour of international cups of cocoa, you can try cioccolata calda, a thick, pudding-like version in Italy. In Colombia and Ecuador, chocolate is served with a teaspoon of soft farmer cheese, and Filipino hot chocolate, sikwate, is served with mango chunks.

However, you choose to jazz up your own cup, the simple pleasure of drinking a warm, chocolaty drink is one that hasn’t gotten old for thousands of years.

1. What was unlikely to happen in the 16th century?

A．Glen decorated his hot coco a with marshmallows.
