阅读解析：
1. D。第一二段说明了大蒜价格暴涨，目前比股票、房地产(real estate/property)都要利润高。
2. A。根据文章第7段即可知答案：Jerry Lou认为大蒜价格上涨是由于囤积、投机导致的。
3. C。从第七段可以判断投机者主要是先囤积在提高价格，所以C正确。
4. D。本文主要分析了大蒜价格上涨的几种原因，并简单说明了可能导致的影响，所以D对。
10. C。本文从第一段提出问题，第二段作总体回答，之后都是细细讲解其原因，所以C项正确。D项讨论两种记忆的差别并非文章的重点。
11. B。根据第8段可知我们的注意力是有限的，所以当我们告诉别人信息时候，一定的注意力花在思考我们要告诉别人的信息上，所以对给谁讲这个信息的注意力减少，而实验中the students who “told” each fact to one of the faces就是这样，所以他们的记忆测试（告诉了谁信息）会更差。
12. A。第四段说了destination memory比source memory要差的一个原因，而这里说了another reason，所以应该也是说导致这种memory差的另一原因。
13. D。通过后三段可以知道，当讲述有关自己的事实时候，我们的自我关注就使得对谈话另一方的关注更少，所以destination memory就更差。
14. B。文中提到My mama’s love and encouragement was the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. 可见母亲的话是为了让女儿获得生活的信心。
15. B。根据文意，作者把母亲教导自己的方法用到孩子的身上，给予孩子爱和鼓励。
16. D。文中提到“Hold your head up high,”has been heard many times in my home.可见作者多次用母亲的话教导自己的孩子，因此孩子们领会了自信的重要性。
17. A。原文提到The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation. 母亲对作者的鼓励是她得到的代代相传的礼物。
听力原文：
W: Listening comprehension
Topic eight: Plans & resolutions
W: Almost time to go back to school. Do you have any plans for this school year?
M: Yeah. I need to work harder on my physics and my English isn’t good enough. What about you?
W: My physics also needs improving. And I’m thinking of getting more exercise.
M: Happy birthday! And now blow out the candles.
W: (Puffing…)
M: Can you share your birthday wishes with us?
W: Sorry, but no. I’d rather keep it to myself.
M: Hi, Lucy. Good to see you again.
W: You, too. How did you spend your New Year holiday?
M: You know, the usual things, eating, visiting friends and relatives, watching TV… What about you?
W: Well, I did the same things. But on top of that, I also made a New Year resolution.
M: Tell me what it is.
W: I’ve decided to go to sleep before 12 o’clock and get up before 8 o’clock this year. You know there is a saying “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
M: That’s a healthy lifestyle. But can you stick to it? I mean, you used to stay up until at least two in the morning.
W: I believe I can. You see, I have more morning courses this term, and I’m going to take the big exam, so there’s a lot of work to be done. I need to save energy for study and I’m hoping this year will be a turning point in my life.
M: Good for you, and good luck. In fact, I’ve made a New Year resolution, too.
W: I’m all ears.
M: I wanna learn to speak French.
W: Is there a particular reason?
M: French is a beautiful language, and I’ve always wanted to go to France. I’ll probably apply to a French university after graduation.
W: Great choice. I know you are very good at learning languages.
M: Thank you. It seems we’ll be very busy this year.
W: Yeah. I’m actually a bit afraid I will give up halfway.
M: You can make a weekly list to remind yourself every day that certain things must be done.
W: That’s a good idea. I think I’ll do that.
M: Yeah, let’s dream big and try our best to make it come true.
