The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “Hi! I'm Carlos,” don't just say “Hello.” Repeat the person's name. Say“__________”.
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (記憶) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

試題分析:這篇短文講述的是我們的大腦雖然并不像電腦那樣記住每件事,但是還是有一些方法可以提高我們的記憶力。在短文中給我們提出了六條建議。
解析【小題1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)這條建議我們可知,我們要盡力的使用新的信息,如,你遇見了一個(gè)人,他說:“你好,我是Carlos!,你不要只說“你好”,而是要重復(fù)這個(gè)人的名字,說“你好,Carlos!。可見,在空上我們應(yīng)該要重復(fù)這個(gè)人的名字,故選A。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)來看,開頭第一段引出了本篇短文的話題,接下來從第二段開始到倒數(shù)第二段是具體給我們的建議,且每條建議的開頭都有符號(hào)◆,故我們可知一共是六條建議,故選D。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這個(gè)題目的答案在文章中的第三段中,即Break a big number into smaller parts,當(dāng)我們記憶比較長的數(shù)字時(shí),我們可以把它分成幾個(gè)小部分來記。本段還給出了一個(gè)例子,故選B。
【小題4】句意猜測題。原句Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory意為:不要對(duì)自己說你的記憶力不好。這句話旨在告訴我們要相信自己的記憶力其實(shí)很好,要有信心,故選D。
【小題5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段Discuss with a friend可知,和朋友一起討論會(huì)比較容易記住,故A選項(xiàng)是正確的。根據(jù)文章第五段可知always review information可以幫助我們記住東西,故B選項(xiàng)表達(dá)不對(duì);C選項(xiàng)在文章中并沒有說明,且這句話公式和事實(shí)能幫助你了解你的大腦,這句話本身就是不對(duì)的;D選項(xiàng)意為人們可以通過電腦來提高記憶力,這句話也是不對(duì)的。故選A。

B
People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many meanings using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest (抗議) and say “Do not bad mouth me.”
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret(后悔) because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say, “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say, “You took the words right out of my mouth!”
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”.
This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives “from hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

A.I regretted I had done the thing | B.I really did this |

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, a mistake is a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is: “you can’t” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. For example, Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes. We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly, because our time and money are limited(有限的)
There is an old saying, “if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn, and grow, and succeed.
【小題1】If you are making a mistake, that means__________.
A.you’re careful | B.you’re kind |
C.you’re growing | D.you know nothing |
A.improve | B.create | C. spend | D.A and B |
A.gave up | B.invented the light bulb |
C.invented the computer | D.invented 10,000 new things |
A.time | B.money | C.success | D.new things |
A.Never make mistakes |
B.You can make mistakes without thinking |
C.Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes |
D.Making mistakes is terrible |

Wang Jiaming from Beijing Chenjinglun High School says he is a lucky boy .He’s happy that he’s sitting the senior high school entrance exam in2014 instead of 2016.
On October 22,Beijing Municipal Commission of Education* announced that, from 2016,the English scores in the senior high school entrances exam will be reduced* from 120 to 100.Of the 100 points, the listening ability scores will increase to 50.Meanwhile, the points for Chinese will increase from 120 to 150.
“The change won’t affect me. I fell so lucky because English is my strongest subject,’’ said Wang. Why such a change? It places the importance on Chinese in our study and reduces students’ pressure, said Li Yi, a spokesman of the commission.
“The change will also push us to pay attention to the practical usage of English.,’’ said Li. “Students will be encouraged to learn to understand English menus and read English news on mobile phones.”
There isn’t news that other cities will have the same change. But several places are making changes to English tests in the college entrance exams.
For example, Shandong is considering taking out the listening part of the English exam in its Gaokao. But, “ being tested for less points doesn’t mean the subject can be taken lightly,” Bai Ping wrote in China Daily.
English has long been the world’s most commonly used language. Wang Jiaming said he understood the change.
“Chinese, not English, is our mother tongue*,” he said. “ but still, I think English is both interesting and useful.”

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express (表示) a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You may think “He’s so cool,”when you see your favorite football player.
We all maximize(擴(kuò)大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
【小題1】In the passage, the word “express” means “_______”.

Arthur sat at the desk in his room, pencil in hand. He had to write a story for his English class by Friday. “I don’t know what to write about,” he complained to his dog Toby, who was asleep at his feet. Arthur was talkative when speaking to his friends, yet he had trouble finding words when he had to write.
By bedtime Arthur had drawn a picture of Toby smiling. He had drawn a tree with its branches blowing in the strong wind. He had also written a note asking his friend Lee to go to the movies on Saturday. But he had not written a single word of his story.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Solomon, Arthur’s English teacher, asked the class to turn in the first draft of their stories. His heart sinking, Arthur turned in the only work he had—the page with his name, the drawings and the note.
Arthur wasn’t surprised when Mrs. Solomon asked him to stay after class the next day. But he was surprised by what she said to him. “This is an attractive story, Arthur. The dog, the movie, the tree in the wind—I can’t wait to find out how they all fit together.”
“That isn’t my story, Mrs. Solomon,” Arthur admitted. “I haven’t been able to think of one yet.”
“Oh, I think you have the seed(種子of a story there,” Mrs. Solomon replied, “Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you.”
That night Arthur sat at his desk, and this is what he wrote: “One Saturday Mike went downstairs to meet his friend Julio at the cinema. It looked as if it might rain, so Mike carried his umbrella. Suddenly a big storm blew in, bending the trees. The noise of the wind sounded like the barking of Mike’s dog Toby. Toby really hated storms and barked whenever he wanted to be let inside. Then Mike realized that it wasn’t the sound of the wind. It was Toby. The dog was running after him down the busy street, barking. The sound was filled with blame. Mike felt guilty because he had left Toby outside. He turned and headed home with Toby running beside him. Mike let Toby in the door just as the rain started to pour down.”
Arthur had a story in the end. The last thing he did was to write his name proudly at the top of the page.
【小題1】Why did Arthur turn in the page with only his name, the drawings and the note at first?
A.Because he had no time to fit them together. |
B.Because he had difficulty in writing a story. |
C.Because he wasn’t willing to do his homework. |
D.Because he wanted to show his talent for drawing. |
A.Toby is an imaginative and lovely dog. |
B.The small tree will grow into a big one. |
C.His friend Lee can give him a lot of support. |
D.He can develop his story based on the first draft. |
A.She is a strict teacher | B.She is a wise teacher |
C.She is an honest teacher | D.She is an energetic teacher |
A.Arthur is a shy and quiet student |
B.Arthur isn’t very satisfied with his story |
C.There will be a storm on Saturday |
D.Encouragement is important in teaching |
