As a result, the group that had repeated the original (原来的) training did ___39___ on the test compared to the one that had had mixed training and trained in new areas—in fact, the group that had ___40___ their training method did twice as well as the group that had repeated the original training.
So how does that work? The researchers believe it’s due to something called reconsolidation (重新合并), which is a process: ___41___ are recalled and changed with new knowledge. “Our results are important ___42___ little was known before about how reconsolidation works in relation to skill development. This shows simple training method changes can ___43___ more rapid and better skill gains,” said Celnik.

New Uses for Old Clothing
Nowadays, we’re more wasteful than ever—buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly—but how? One answer is to upcycle (升级利用).
What do you think of the “new” hat I made for my sister? It used to be my mom’s sweater.
If you’re like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply the same way to old clothing? You just need imagination!
I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest.
Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try?
TerryB Posted at 9:08 a.m. on 11th February 2021 Reply
Why don’t you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don’t wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
Gina Posted at 9:28 a.m. on 11th February 2021 Reply
Good point! I’m talking about only the oldest clothing in your room—the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need.
Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a.m, on 11th February 2021 Reply
I’ve made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I’m living less wastefully.
55. What is special about the hat?
A. It came from an old sweater. B. It was given by Gina’s sister.
C. It was new and expensive. D. It was a gift from Gina’s sister.

57. What did Betty99 upcycle to make dog toys?
A. Paper boxes. B. Shopping bags. C. T-shirts. D. Socks.

Working as a city cleaner in the Chaoyang District of Beijing, a busy city, Zhang Jianna has earned the respect and attention of many with her good English skills and her kindness in helping foreigners. Born in the countryside of Hebei Province, 49-year-old Zhang Jianna moved to Beijing after finishing high school. She has worked in different jobs, including being a restaurant waitress and working as a salesperson in a shopping center. In 2012, she started working as a city cleaner.
However, it was a chance encounter with a foreigner that encouraged her. The foreigner praised the cleanliness of the streets in English, but Zhang could only understand the word “good”. This experience developed her interest in learning English. Even though it’s hard to find time to study, Zhang used any free time she had to learn new words and practice speaking English. At night, she wrote down everything she learned, filling up many notebooks with what she was learning. She also used English-learning apps on her phone and computer to help her study.
Now knowing about 3,000 words, Zhang talks confidently with people from other countries, helping them with what they need and showing them around the city streets. Learning English has not just helped her meet people but also made her very happy. “I got more confident from learning,” said Zhang. “I feel joyful every time I help a foreigner.”
Zhang Jianna stands as an inspiring example of lifelong learning and the power of a positive spirit. Her spirit reflects a deep sense of responsibility to present the best face of the capital city to the world.

In spring 2021, Battersea Arts Centre, a venue (地点) in southwest London, introduced “pay what you can” for all its shows. The reason is simple—they believe that everyone should be able to be a part of the great work, regardless of (不管) their ability to pay. Should all shows be “pay what you can”?
Some supporters believe it’s a good idea. In the 17th century when Shakespeare was writing his plays, everyone went to the theatre. The cheapest ticket in London was one penny. This is how shows should be open to everyone, no matter how much they earn. Paying what you can is in the spirit of Shakespeare’s time, and it opens the arts to all. It also shows that many art venues are a type of charity (慈善机构) that provide public benefits and spread culture. That doesn’t mean the show isn’t good.
However, this idea makes some people worried and some opponents (反对者) are against it. Society expects art for free—free art shows, free music, free videos. ________ For some people “pay what you can” would mean “pay what you want to”—nothing. It is expensive to put on a show. If the audience want to see a good show, they should pay a part of what it costs to put on. A survey by Arts Professional magazine found that many people avoid shows not because they are too expensive but because they don’t think they will enjoy themselves. Art venues should focus on making the best shows they can, and price the tickets to reflect the quality (质量).
63. Why was “pay what you can” introduced?
A. To attract people to watch the show. B. To improve people’s ability of art.
C. To teach poor people to make artworks. D. To let everyone have the chance to enjoy great works.
64. What can we know about art venues in Shakespeare’s time?
A. They were free to anyone. B. They helped to spread culture.
C. They taught people arts for free. D. They gave away money to poor people.
65. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________?
A. There is bad service in free art shows. B. People will pay less attention to art.
C. This makes people expect any art for free. D. People can save money to learn art.
66. Which is the opponents’ opinion?
A. The price of the show decides whether it’s good or not.
B. Show creators pay more attention to the money they make.
C. Free shows can satisfy the expectation of the audience.
D. Many people don’t want to see the show because of its high price.
67 How does the author write this passage?
A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers.
C. By connecting facts. D. By comparing ideas.
D
Leeks are so common that you have probably never thought much about them. They grow easily in our gardens and don’t look very special, but that doesn’t mean they are not interesting! Leeks belong to the Allium family of vegetables, which also includes onions. Like onions and other members of the Allium family, leeks are a kind of vegetable with white soft parts and leafy green tops. The bulb (鳞茎), however, is not round, but just slightly larger than the stem nearest the roots. The more rounded the bulb, the older the leek. Leeks are usually about 30 cm long, but they can grow much bigger. Do you know growing leeks can win you a prize? Some gardeners grow big leeks and hold competitions to find the biggest type of leek. The heaviest leek ever weighed more than 8 kg.
People have been eating leeks for thousands of years. The Ancient Roman Emperor Nero ordered his cooks to serve him leeks every day, as he believed they would improve his singing voice! People in Wales loved leeks so much that they made them their national symbol. As the story goes, about 400 years ago,Welsh soldiers were fighting in a war. They put leeks in their hats so that they could tell their friends from their enemies.
Leeks are especially loved by cooks all over the world, as they give flavor (味道) to lots of dishes. Leeks taste a bit like onions, but their flavor is much weaker. They taste especially good in soups. In France, a leek and potato soup is eaten cold. Leeks go well with meat.
So now we know that leeks are delicious, but are they good for you? Yes! Leeks are full of iron (铁). Experts now believe that eating leeks and other members of the Allium family can also help people keep their blood pressure under control and their hearts healthy.
68. What’s the theme of the passage?
A. Education. B. Nature. C. Technology. D. History.
69. What does the writer think of growing leeks?
A. It’s not common. B. It’s not interesting. C. It takes lots of time. D. It requires little skill.
70. Which of the following is the picture of leeks?
A. B. C. D.
71. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Leeks are popular for a long time.
B. Emperor Nero loved leeks very much.
C. Welsh soldiers fought with leeks in a war.
D. People in Wales made leeks their national symbol.
72. What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.

Scientists have found that by simply changing your training method, you can keep your ___29___ more active in the learning process and spend less time reaching the required standard. People think simply ___30___ a skill—for example, practising the same piece of music on the piano or playing the same level in your game over and over again—is the best way to learn it. Instead, it turns out that there might be a ___31___ way to level up.
Recently, researchers got 86 volunteers to learn a new ___32___—moving a cursor (光标) on a computer screen by pressing a small device, ___33___ using a mouse.

In the end, everyone was ___38___ on how they could perform the new skill. As a result, the group that had repeated the original (原来的) training did ___39___ on the test compared to the one that had had mixed training and trained in new areas—in fact, the group that had ___40___ their training method did twice as well as the group that had repeated the original training.
So how does that work? The researchers believe it’s due to something called reconsolidation (重新合并), which is a process: ___41___ are recalled and changed with new knowledge. “Our results are important ___42___ little was known before about how reconsolidation works in relation to skill development. This shows simple training method changes can ___43___ more rapid and better skill gains,” said Celnik.

Do you believe in green living? Read the following blog and replies about a fun, easy and creative way to make your lifestyle greener.
Posted by Gina at 8:32 a.m. on 11th February 2021
New Uses for Old Clothing
Nowadays, we’re more wasteful than ever—buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly—but how? One answer is to upcycle (升级利用).
What do you think of the “new” hat I made for my sister? It used to be my mom’s sweater.
If you’re like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply the same way to old clothing? You just need imagination!
I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest.
Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try?
TerryB Posted at 9:08 a.m. on 11th February 2021 Reply
Why don’t you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don’t wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
Gina Posted at 9:28 a.m. on 11th February 2021 Reply
Good point! I’m talking about only the oldest clothing in your room—the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need.
Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a.m, on 11th February 2021 Reply
I’ve made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I’m living less wastefully.

At night, she wrote down everything she learned, filling up many notebooks with what she was learning. She also used English-learning apps on her phone and computer to help her study.
Now knowing about 3,000 words, Zhang talks confidently with people from other countries, helping them with what they need and showing them around the city streets. Learning English has not just helped her meet people but also made her very happy. “I got more confident from learning,” said Zhang. “I feel joyful every time I help a foreigner.”
Zhang Jianna stands as an inspiring example of lifelong learning and the power of a positive spirit. Her spirit reflects a deep sense of responsibility to present the best face of the capital city to the world. Looking ahead, she hopes to use her English to encourage people to visit her hometown when she stops working and help Hebei Province develop.

In spring 2021, Battersea Arts Centre, a venue (地点) in southwest London, introduced “pay what you can” for all its shows. The reason is simple—they believe that everyone should be able to be a part of the great work, regardless of (不管) their ability to pay. Should all shows be “pay what you can”?
Some supporters believe it’s a good idea. In the 17th century when Shakespeare was writing his plays, everyone went to the theatre. The cheapest ticket in London was one penny. This is how shows should be open to everyone, no matter how much they earn. Paying what you can is in the spirit of Shakespeare’s time, and it opens the arts to all. It also shows that many art venues are a type of charity (慈善机构) that provide public benefits and spread culture. That doesn’t mean the show isn’t good.
However, this idea makes some people worried and some opponents (反对者) are against it. Society expects art for free—free art shows, free music, free videos. ________ For some people “pay what you can” would mean “pay what you want to”—nothing. It is expensive to put on a show. If the audience want to see a good show, they should pay a part of what it costs to put on. A survey by Arts Professional magazine found that many people avoid shows not because they are too expensive but because they don’t think they will enjoy themselves. Art venues should focus on making the best shows they can, and price the tickets to reflect the quality (质量).
63. Why was “pay what you can” introduced?
A. To attract people to watch the show. B. To improve people’s ability of art.
C. To teach poor people to make artworks. D. To let everyone have the chance to enjoy great works.
64. What can we know about art venues in Shakespeare’s time?
A. They were free to anyone. B. They helped to spread culture.
C. They taught people arts for free. D. They gave away money to poor people.
65. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________?
A. There is bad service in free art shows. B. People will pay less attention to art.
C. This makes people expect any art for free. D. People can save money to learn art.
66. Which is the opponents’ opinion?
A. The price of the show decides whether it’s good or not.
B. Show creators pay more attention to the money they make.
C. Free shows can satisfy the expectation of the audience.
D. Many people don’t want to see the show because of its high price.
67. How does the author write this passage?
A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers.
C. By connecting facts. D. By comparing ideas.

Leeks are so common that you have probably never thought much about them. They grow easily in our gardens and don’t look very special, but that doesn’t mean they are not interesting! Leeks belong to the Allium family of vegetables, which also includes onions. Like onions and other members of the Allium family, leeks are a kind of vegetable with white soft parts and leafy green tops. The bulb (鳞茎), however, is not round, but just slightly larger than the stem nearest the roots. The more rounded the bulb, the older the leek. Leeks are usually about 30 cm long, but they can grow much bigger. Do you know growing leeks can win you a prize? Some gardeners grow big leeks and hold competitions to find the biggest type of leek. The heaviest leek ever weighed more than 8 kg.
People have been eating leeks for thousands of years. The Ancient Roman Emperor Nero ordered his cooks to serve him leeks every day, as he believed they would improve his singing voice! People in Wales loved leeks so much that they made them their national symbol. As the story goes, about 400 years ago,Welsh soldiers were fighting in a war. They put leeks in their hats so that they could tell their friends from their enemies.
Leeks are especially loved by cooks all over the world, as they give flavor (味道) to lots of dishes. Leeks taste a bit like onions, but their flavor is much weaker. They taste especially good in soups. In France, a leek and potato soup is eaten cold. Leeks go well with meat.
So now we know that leeks are delicious, but are they good for you? Yes! Leeks are full of iron (铁). Experts now believe that eating leeks and other members of the Allium family can also help people keep their blood pressure under control and their hearts healthy.
68. What’s the theme of the passage?
A. Education. B. Nature. C. Technology. D. History.
