She asked me to help her study for her science test. “Dad, I need to memorize (记住) a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.” “You know memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material (材料).” Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.” Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I decided to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more leaning than just trying your best to memorize the material. On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts (起步失误) happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book. She started checking things that she didn’t understand. And she was actively trying to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorizing, she was trying to understand things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. Why did Juliet feel down? A. Because she failed her science test. B. Because she had trouble memorizing a unit. C. Because she knew nothing about planting. D. Because she couldn’t understand her teacher. 7. In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learning? A. Memorizing B. Testing C. Questioning. D. Understanding 8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. making her check the book B. using simple questions to test her C. encouraging her to read the unit D. asking her to teach me the unit 9. How did the father feel when false starts happened? A. patient B. worried C. nervous D. tired 10. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. A Hardworking Father B. An Unexpected Test C. Learning from Teaching D. Preparing for Teaching C Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying? It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize. Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 % increase in dopamine. But why? When we visit social media on the phone, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post (发布). This “magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out. And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily. Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits (限制) on apps to avoid using them too much. As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward (奖励) yourself for it, said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student. You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. According to the article, what are students like when they study? A. They get very attracted. B. They are getting happier. C. They feel time pass more slowly. D. Their brain gives out more dopamine. 12. What might the phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2? A. works out B. finds out C. leads to D. results from 13. When do people have more dopamine? A. When they know what will happen next. B. When they stay in a familiar environment. C. When their expectations (期望) are met. D. When they sleep in bed. 14. What is Paragraph 4 about? A. It introduces a way to get more messages from our friends. B. It gives an example of spending time happily on social media. C. It describes how scientists discover the way dopamine works. D. It explains why playing on smartphones causes more dopamine. 15. What’s Daniel Wong’s advice on making learning interesting? A. Setting time limits on everything you do. B. Stopping playing on your smartphone. C. Using what you learn from textbooks to do things in real life. D. Reading the interesting part in your textbooks before reading the others. D We may feel angry or guilty (内疚的) about the things we did or didn’t achieve, about the things we can’t have, and many other things. ____16____ Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders. These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself-is it possible to put down this heavy weight and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. ____17____ How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them? By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors (行为) are not the way to do this. They provide no better feelings. ____18____ One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅). ____19____ We should forgive ourselves first and then forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well. There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional weights. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can drop our heaviness and feel better about ourselves. ____20____ And you’ll be much happier with your life. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 A. Forgiveness is a great tool. B. Instead, there are better ways to face them. C. But guilt cannot help us, anger can’t, either. D. Start by looking at your feelings honestly. E. The moment you do this, you’ll feel much lighter. 三、完形填空(15小题, 每小题1分, 共15分) 先通读短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个可 以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 On the way home from school, Jack always passes a park.
