(2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) The late president of South Africa，Nelson Mandela，once said： "If you talk to a man in a language he understands，that goes to his head.If you talk to a man in his own language，that goes to his heart." Mandela understood that our mother language is a very close thing to us.For people who speak an ancient tongue（语言） as their mother language，it helps them keep their traditions.Their language is their main connection with their ancestors. So it's a serious thing when a language disappears.Over the last century，more than 400 languages have died out.Some languages are now spoken only by a few people，like Yagan in Chile.Africa and South America are also places where many languages are dying. Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did？The answer has to do with globalization（全球化）.Nowadays，it's more useful to speak certain languages-English is one example-rather than others.This has killed some languages，usually ones spoken by fewer or less influential（有影响力的） people. But some people aren't prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.The United Nations has set Feb 21 as International Mother Language Day.The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages. This work is very important.As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote， " Language is the roadmap of a culture.It tells where its people come from and where they are going." 1.What do Mandela's words mean？ ______ A.

Scientists at Ohio State University，the US，have found that sad movies can make people happier.They published（刊登） their study in a magazine called Communication Research. Scientists asked some college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement.The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated（分离的）.They died during World War II at the end of the movie.The college students answered questions from the scientists before，after and three times during the movie because the scientists wanted to know about the students' different feelings，including the feeling of sadness. The result showed that people felt better after watching the sad movie.Scientists believed that it was because the movie made the students think about their own lives.Compared with those unlucky lovers in the movie，they thought their life was full of hope. "I want to live my life to the fullest，and this movie has made me think a lot，"one student wrote. Silvia，the leader of the study，explained that bad feelings would make people more thoughtful."Good feelings are usually a sign that everything is fine.You don't have to worry，and you don't have to think about problems in your life，"she said."But bad feelings，like sadness，make you feel terrible about your situation.So seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad at first，but that will cause you to think more about your own life and then you will value it more and finally feel much happier." 1.How does the writer introduce the topic？ ______ A.

Light pollution is a man-made problem, and it has increased by 50% in the last 20 years. The bright lights in big cities make people's life safer and easier.

Our bright lights are harmful to many animals, too. Take birds for example. Birds use the light of the moon to migrate (迁徙), but with so much man-made light in the environment, they often get lost. Many countries and groups have taken action against light pollution. There are some things that you can do for protection from light pollution.

According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework task. Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool.

Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish. Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to reduce the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, HP and Lenovo companies now also take back some old computers. In some countries, laws are being passed, too.

Lotus (莲属植物) leaves look beautiful when they are on the water. But have you ever noticed how the water just falls off the leaves? Scientists have found that they have a very smooth surface. Water doesn't stick to this surface, and what's more amazing, the water cleans the leaf as it moves on the surface. Scientists have now developed materials which can do the same thing. We use them on roofs (屋顶) and snowboards. You can even get paint for the outside of houses which doesn't get dirty! Sharks can move very fast in the water because they have special skin. There are hundreds of little "teeth" on the skin. These little "teeth" have lines on them which help the water to flow over the sharks' bodies more quickly so they move very smoothly and fast. Scientists have used the information they learned from sharkskin to develop the material for swimsuits and the bottom of boats. 1.Which words can describe the material developed by looking at geckos? A. Super-strong and super-sticky. B. Super-strong and super-fast. C. Super-sticky and super-fast. D. Super-sticky and super-clean. 2.Which part of the sharks helped scientists develop the material?

D. Ideas from Nature. 2. (2023-2024上·安徽省芜湖市·期末考试) Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults? You'd be right — at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don't change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. "Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,"said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. "GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的)," added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. "For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults." 1.Which shows the changes of children's and adults' GABA levels when they learn new things? A. B. C. D. 2.What does the underlined word "outperformed" in Paragraph 4 mean? A. were the same as B. did better than C. depended on D. looked up to 3.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Parents should do everything for their kids. B. Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C. Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D. Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. 4.What's the main idea of this text? A. New ways to increase GABA levels. B. Different learning methods of kids and adults. C. The reason why kids are better at learning than adults. D. Some suggestions on how to improve our learning abilities. 3. (2023-2024上·安徽省阜阳市·期末考试) Parents feel that it is difficult to live with children. At the same time, children think that it is not easy to live with their parents. According to the research from St. George University, the most common problem between parents and children is about cleaning rooms and doing housework. On the one hand, parents go angry because of the dirty rooms, or because their children refuse to help with the housework. On the other hand, children become impatient when their parents keep giving orders. The research shows that different parents have different ways to solve these problems. However, some of them are more successful than others. For example, some parents shout at their children for dirty rooms, but later clean the room for them. They have fewer chances to change their children's bad habits. But those who let children experience the failures (失败) of their actions can do better. For example, children don't find their favorite drink in the fridge, because they don't help their parents with the shopping. Then they have to think about their actions carefully. Psychologists (心理学家) say that communication can help solve parent-child problems. Parents should talk to their children, but at the same time they should listen to their children. When both parents and children listen to and understand each other through communication, problems between them can be solved. 1.What is the most common problem between parents and children? A. Changing living habits of each other. B. Living with each other in the same house. C. Cleaning rooms and doing housework. D.

(2023-2024上·安徽省阜阳市·期末考试) The colorful clothes we wear today are made by machines. But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? Tie-dye (扎染) was a way to do this. More than 1,000 years ago, the Bai group in Yunnan used tie-dye to dye their clothes. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dyed clothes to the officers as gifts. To tie-dye, you need to first use ropes or other tools. The folded (折叠的) cloth is then put in dye. The Bai people usually make blue dye from a plant. As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold the cloth, you will see beautiful patterns. Some of them may look like animals, and others may look like plants. In the 1960s, tie-dye became popular in the US. People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans in imaginative ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dye in their art classes. At Dior's spring 2019 show in France, Italian designer (设计师) Maria Grazia Chiuri surprised people with beautiful tie-dye dresses. "Tie-dye is like an experiment," Chiuri said. "It's creative.

(2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) Now, think back about your early years as a child and ask yourself what your earliest memory is. What comes to mind? Is it a special event? Is it a memory of someone special to you? Or is it a fun game: If you're like most children, you probably have only a few special memories that stick in your mind from between the ages of three and seven. Why is that? According to psychologists (心理学家), most adults can't remember much about their early lives, which they call childhood amnesia (幼儿期健忘), psychologists still do not fully understand why childhood amnesia happens. However, some studies of children's brains over the last twenty years have given researchers new ideas about what might be going on. Early researchers believed that children did not have fully-developed parts in their brains to allow them to keep information. Over time, however, it became clear that children could remember many things, where they live, etc. Now experts believe children at an early age don't have episodic memory (情景记忆). The hippocampus (海马体), one part of the brain, the hippocampus can begin tying together several pieces of information into memories. Although it would be cool to have memories from our earliest days, researchers believe things have worked out for the best. They believe that early episodic memory could be too distracting at an early age when we're still trying to understand how the world works! After all, children at an early age have less attention compared with adults. 1.How did the writer help us get to know the childhood amnesia in Paragraph 1? A. By listing some numbers. B. By raising some questions. C. By making up a story. D. By comparing different ideas. 2.What do experts believe now? A. Children have episodic memory when they are young. B.

I can learn a lot from others, even from their mistakes. This saying gives me courage and reminds me to pay attention. Andre — "To go too far is as bad as to fall short. " This is my favorite. It means that to do too much of something is as bad as not doing enough. For example, I wanted to lose a few kilos for a big party so I didn't eat enough and exercised all the time. In the end, I got really sick and couldn't even go to the party! For me, it's important to find a balance(平衡) to achieve my dreams. 1.What can we learn about Confucius sayings according to the text?

They just tried. At the beginning of the experiment, scientists collected recycled diapers in the recycling center. Then they brought them back to the science lab. There, they washed and dried the diapers. They made six different samples. Next, they went to the new factory and put the samples in a special machine to test how strong they were. Finally, they could tell how much diaper waste they could use because too much made the building materials (材料) weak. The scientists made a plan and built a small house in the garden next to their lab because it had an open area. The house had two bedrooms and a bathroom. Diapers could replace 27% of the materials in the house's load — bearing (承重) parts. Diapers were very useful because some parts of the house didn't have to hold a lot of weight, such as walls that divided rooms. What did people think of this try? Some thought it was good because reusing diapers meant less rubbish in landfills. It might also make houses cheaper but others believed it was not so good because separating out diapers from other waste and washing them took a lot of work. Besides, not all the parts of diapers could be used. 1.Where did the scientists test the diapers? A. In the new factory. B. In the garden. C. In the recycling center. D. In the science lab. 2.What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. Diapers made the houses stronger. B. Picking diapers out took little work. C. Every part of the diaper could be used. D.

They learn from their mistakes and find different ways to solve problems. They ask for help when they need it. Take babies for example. They are lovely and cute. In only two years, they learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They do not worry about looking silly while they're learning. When they make mistakes, they just try again. In this way, they learn many things successfully. ④In short, people with different mindsets have different ways of thinking and doing things. Which one do you choose? 1.What is the key to be smarter?

(2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) An electronic book — known as an e-book — is the text and art of a book published in digital form. Some say the convenience of a digital (数字的) book beats the benefits of reading a real book, that is, a book printed on paper. Is that true? A famous writer once wrote, "You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax. All you need is a book!" Back then, of course, he meant a book printed on paper, but today that's not the only way to read one. People can choose to read a real book, or they can read an e-book on an e-reader device (设备) or a computer. Many people like reading e-books because they are convenient and easy to carry. However, a real book can never be replaced. There is nothing better than the feel of a real book, from the weight of it in your hand to the satisfaction of turning each page. It's part of the experience of reading — just like going to a library or bookstore and turning the pages of a book freely. Scrolling (滚屏) through a device isn't the same. And not every kind of book translates well to digital. Plus, e-books can require expensive devices that need to be charged (充电), as well as Internet access (权限) to download books. That's not always possible or convenient. A printed book, however, doesn't have to be connected to be enjoyed. What's more, when reading a real book, you can feel a pleasure of the mind, which will help you get information and remember it more effectively. And it contributes towards developing the communication skills and unlock our imagination. In 2022, sales of e-books in the US was about $1 billion in total, while real books sales hit $9.1 billion. In a survey, 30% of Americans who read books chose e-books, while most still prefer real books. Besides, research shows that understanding improves when people read books in print, rather than in digital form. 1.Why do some people like reading e-books? A. E-books provide more understanding. B. E-books are convenient and easy to carry. C. E-books increase printing costs and paper use. D. E-books benefit people with reading difficulties. 2.What can we know from paragraph 3? A. People are too busy to read a real book. B. Children are into reading e-books nowadays. C. It is enjoyable to read real books in a library. D. All the real books can be translated well to digital. 3.What's the purpose of listing numbers in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of reading books. B. To show the popularity of reading real books. C. To give examples of American best-selling books. D. To compare the differences of the two reading habits. 12.

During this term, the leaves are long gone and every roof of the house is covered with snow in the north of China. The farm work has come to an end, so the farmers stop to enjoy the spare time of the year. Lesser Cold is one of the coldest solar terms of the year. However, the bitter cold can't prevent people from enjoying their lives. There are many interesting activities for people to do. In China, wintersweet (腊梅) comes out at that time. People often go where they can admire the beauty of wintersweet together with friends. It's also a good time for people to skate, fight with snowballs and build snowmen.

According to a new rule of the university，students must prove（证明）themselves in the swimming pool.They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters，and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years.By the time they graduate，they will have known how to swim；otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's degrees（学士学位）. The news made waves in Chinese social media（媒体）.Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives，and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health.However，others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities（内陆城市）to be able to swim. In fact，this is not a new rule.Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming. Anyway，it is still good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued.Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability？ 1.According to the passage，what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua university？ ______ A. Some papers. B. High scores in exams. C. Passing a swimming test. D. All of the above. 2.The underlined phrase"made waves"in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ . A. caused a heated discussion B. spread widely C. made a requirement D. proved the rule 3.Why did Tsinghua University once give up the rule？ ______ ①Because many students failed the swimming test. ②Because some people disagreed with the rule. ③Because there were too many students. ④Because there were not enough swimming pools. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④ 4.What is the passage mainly about？ ______ A. Different people hold different opinions about a new rule. B. Tsinghua University has made a new rule of graduation. C. Chinese students' health should be more and more valued. D. There is a new chance to learn another life-saving ability. 18.

(2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) The late president of South Africa，Nelson Mandela，once said： "If you talk to a man in a language he understands，that goes to his head.If you talk to a man in his own language，that goes to his heart." Mandela understood that our mother language is a very close thing to us.For people who speak an ancient tongue（语言） as their mother language，it helps them keep their traditions.Their language is their main connection with their ancestors. So it's a serious thing when a language disappears.Over the last century，more than 400 languages have died out.Some languages are now spoken only by a few people，like Yagan in Chile.Africa and South America are also places where many languages are dying. Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did？The answer has to do with globalization（全球化）.Nowadays，it's more useful to speak certain languages-English is one example-rather than others.This has killed some languages，usually ones spoken by fewer or less influential（有影响力的） people. But some people aren't prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.The United Nations has set Feb 21 as International Mother Language Day.The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages. This work is very important.As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote， " Language is the roadmap of a culture.It tells where its people come from and where they are going." 1.What do Mandela's words mean？ ______ A. International language influence people a lot. B. It's not easy for everyone to take others' advice. C. Our mother language is a very close thing to us. D. The understandable language is a good language. 2.Why do people still speak the ancient tongue of their mother language？ ______ A. Because it's a way for them to connect with their ancestors. B. Because the ancient tongue makes their language special. C. Because it will keep their conversation secret. D. Because the ancient tongue sounds better than other languages. 3.Why was International Mother Language Day set？ ______ A. To remember our ancestors. B. To teach people new languages. C. To make global communication easier. D. To get people to notice dying languages. 4.What can we infer from the underlined sentences？ ______ A. Language can help us learn the future life. B. Language helps people understand each other. C. Language helps us learn the secrets of Earth. D. Language is an important part of each culture. 【答案】C、A、D、D 【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段If you talk to a man in a language he understands，that goes to his head.If you talk to a man in his own language，that goes to his heart.（如果你用一个人懂得的语言与他交谈，他就会头脑发热。如果你用一个人的母语和他交谈，那就能打动他的心。）可知，母语对我们来说是一件非常亲密的事情。故选C。 （2）细节理解题。根据第二段For people who speak an ancient tongue（语言） as their mother language，it helps them keep their traditions.Their language is their main connection with their ancestors.（对于以古代语言为母语的人来说，这有助于他们保持自己的传统。他们的语言是他们与祖先的主要联系。）可知，是因为这是他们与祖先联系的一种方式。故选A。 （3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The United Nations has set Feb 21 as International Mother Language Day.The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages.（联合国将2月21日定为国际母语日。该组织希望人们更加关注濒临消失的语言。）可知，是为了让人们注意到濒临消失的语言。故选D。 （4）推理判断题。根据最后一段Language is the roadmap of a culture.It tells where its people come from and where they are going.（语言是文化的路线图。它告诉人们他们从哪里来，要到哪里去。）可知，语言是每种文化的重要组成部分。故选D。 南非前总统纳尔逊•曼德拉曾说过："如果你用一个人能理解的语言和他交谈，那会触动他的头脑。如果你用他自己的语言和他交谈，那会触动他的心灵。"曼德拉理解我们的母语对我们来说是非常重要的。对于说古老语言的人来说，母语有助于他们保持传统，是他们与祖先的主要联系。然而，一些语言正在消失。在过去的一个世纪里，已有400多种语言消失。一些语言现在只有少数人说，比如智利的雅干语。非洲和南美也是许多语言正在消失的地方。为什么人类说的语言比以前少了呢？答案与全球化有关。如今，说某些语言更有用，比如英语就是一个例子，而其他一些语言通常是由较少或不那么有影响力的人说的，因此被淘汰了。但有些人不愿意接受地球上语言越来越少的现实。联合国将2月21日定为国际母语日，希望人们更加关注濒危语言。这项工作非常重要。正如美国作家丽塔•梅•布朗所说："语言是文化的地图，它告诉我们的人民来自何处，又将去向何方。" 2.

Scientists at Ohio State University，the US，have found that sad movies can make people happier.They published（刊登） their study in a magazine called Communication Research. Scientists asked some college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement.The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated（分离的）.They died during World War II at the end of the movie.The college students answered questions from the scientists before，after and three times during the movie because the scientists wanted to know about the students' different feelings，including the feeling of sadness. The result showed that people felt better after watching the sad movie.Scientists believed that it was because the movie made the students think about their own lives.Compared with those unlucky lovers in the movie，they thought their life was full of hope. "I want to live my life to the fullest，and this movie has made me think a lot，"one student wrote. Silvia，the leader of the study，explained that bad feelings would make people more thoughtful."Good feelings are usually a sign that everything is fine.You don't have to worry，and you don't have to think about problems in your life，"she said."But bad feelings，like sadness，make you feel terrible about your situation.So seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad at first，but that will cause you to think more about your own life and then you will value it more and finally feel much happier." 1.How does the writer introduce the topic？ ______ A. By telling a moving story. B. By giving some numbers. C. By asking a question. D. By showing some examples. 2.What's the main idea of the third paragraph？ ______ A. How the scientists did the study.

In the early 1930s，people in the US often did not know when or where their next meal was.So as soon as they got something in their hand that could be eaten，it would go into their mouth.That was how people began to use the idiom "live hand to mouth".

Light pollution is a man-made problem, and it has increased by 50% in the last 20 years. The bright lights in big cities make people's life safer and easier. However, they have affected the health of people and animals around the world at the same time. Everyone has their own natural sleep-wake cycles (周期). For many people, darkness is important to tell the body that it is time to relax and go to sleep. When there is too much light in the environment, the body produces less melatonin (褪黑激素), which makes sleeping difficult. Being in a bright environment at night can also increase worry and stress. Our bright lights are harmful to many animals, too. Take birds for example. Birds use the light of the moon to migrate (迁徙), but with so much man-made light in the environment, they often get lost. Many countries and groups have taken action against light pollution. There are some things that you can do for protection from light pollution. For example, stop using your electronic devices (设备) one or two hours before you go to sleep.

(2023-2024上·安徽省黄山市·期末考试) ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework task. Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create recipes(食谱), translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district's networks and devices, CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information. "It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术性) and lifelong success, " said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education. Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones, the New York Times reported. However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules how both students and teachers use it. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far. Bhaskar Vira, from the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise. "We have to know that AI is a tool people will use, " he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. "What we need to do is to make our learning, teaching and examinations suitable for a new use. That way, we can be honest while using the tool". 1.Why did some schools in the US ban the use of ChatGPT ? A. Students may use it to cheat on homework. B. It seldom provides correct information. C.

Just look at some Chinese sayings such as "Boiling a dead pig. " and "A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig. " And in English, there are some expressions like "Eating like a pig. " and "Pigs might fly. " None of them are complimentary. However, pigs have some good qualities(品质). They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories.

(2023-2024上·安徽省芜湖市·期末考试) What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don't know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish. Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to reduce the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, HP and Lenovo companies now also take back some old computers. In some countries, laws are being passed, too.

What materials did scientists develop by looking at animals and plants? Have you ever seen geckos (壁虎) running up walls? Do you know how they do it? Well, their feet have millions of tiny hairs, which means that they can walk on or stick to almost anything. Scientists have used this idea to develop super-strong and super-sticky glues. We use them to repair planes, and at home they can even stick your TV to the wall! Lotus (莲属植物) leaves look beautiful when they are on the water. But have you ever noticed how the water just falls off the leaves? Scientists have found that they have a very smooth surface. Water doesn't stick to this surface, and what's more amazing, the water cleans the leaf as it moves on the surface. Scientists have now developed materials which can do the same thing. We use them on roofs (屋顶) and snowboards. You can even get paint for the outside of houses which doesn't get dirty! Sharks can move very fast in the water because they have special skin. There are hundreds of little "teeth" on the skin. These little "teeth" have lines on them which help the water to flow over the sharks' bodies more quickly so they move very smoothly and fast. Scientists have used the information they learned from sharkskin to develop the material for swimsuits and the bottom of boats. 1.Which words can describe the material developed by looking at geckos? A. Super-strong and super-sticky. B. Super-strong and super-fast. C. Super-sticky and super-fast. D. Super-sticky and super-clean. 2.Which part of the sharks helped scientists develop the material?

(2023-2024上·安徽省芜湖市·期末考试) Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults? You'd be right — at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don't change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. "Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,"said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. "GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的)," added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike.

(2023-2024上·安徽省阜阳市·期末考试) Parents feel that it is difficult to live with children. At the same time, children think that it is not easy to live with their parents. According to the research from St. George University, the most common problem between parents and children is about cleaning rooms and doing housework. On the one hand, parents go angry because of the dirty rooms, or because their children refuse to help with the housework. On the other hand, children become impatient when their parents keep giving orders. The research shows that different parents have different ways to solve these problems. However, some of them are more successful than others. For example, some parents shout at their children for dirty rooms, but later clean the room for them. They have fewer chances to change their children's bad habits. But those who let children experience the failures (失败) of their actions can do better. For example, children don't find their favorite drink in the fridge, because they don't help their parents with the shopping. Then they have to think about their actions carefully. Psychologists (心理学家) say that communication can help solve parent-child problems. Parents should talk to their children, but at the same time they should listen to their children. When both parents and children listen to and understand each other through communication, problems between them can be solved. 1.What is the most common problem between parents and children? A. Changing living habits of each other. B. Living with each other in the same house. C. Cleaning rooms and doing housework. D. Having different opinions in study at school. 2.According to Paragraph 3, who has better ways to solve problems? A. Parents who shout at their children. B. Parents who clean rooms for their children.

What comes to mind? Is it a special event? Is it a memory of someone special to you? Or is it a fun game: If you're like most children, you probably have only a few special memories that stick in your mind from between the ages of three and seven. Why is that? According to psychologists (心理学家), most adults can't remember much about their early lives, which they call childhood amnesia (幼儿期健忘), psychologists still do not fully understand why childhood amnesia happens. However, some studies of children's brains over the last twenty years have given researchers new ideas about what might be going on. Early researchers believed that children did not have fully-developed parts in their brains to allow them to keep information. Over time, however, it became clear that children could remember many things, where they live, etc. Now experts believe children at an early age don't have episodic memory (情景记忆). The hippocampus (海马体), one part of the brain, the hippocampus can begin tying together several pieces of information into memories. Although it would be cool to have memories from our earliest days, researchers believe things have worked out for the best. They believe that early episodic memory could be too distracting at an early age when we're still trying to understand how the world works! After all, children at an early age have less attention compared with adults. 1.How did the writer help us get to know the childhood amnesia in Paragraph 1? A. By listing some numbers. B. By raising some questions. C. By making up a story. D. By comparing different ideas. 2.What do experts believe now? A. Children have episodic memory when they are young. B. Children at an early age actually don't have hippocampus. C. The hippocampus begins working on memories until sometime. D. Children don't have fully-developed parts in their brains. 3.What does the underlined word mean? A. 让人分心的. B. 有争议的. C. 有意义的. D. 可贵的. 【答案】B、C、A 【解析】【文章大意】本文主要讲述了大部分成年人对自己童年时期的记忆很少，这被称为幼儿期健忘，文中解释了幼儿期健忘的情况。 1. 根据“What comes to mind? Is it a special event? Is it a memory of someone special to you?…Why is that?”可知，通过提问题来了解幼儿期健忘，故选B。 2. 根据“Now experts believe children at an early age don't have episodic memory (情景记忆). The hippocampus (海马体), one part of the brain, the hippocampus can begin tying together several pieces of information into memories.”可知，专家们认为，幼儿没有情景记忆。海马体可以开始将几条信息组合成记忆，故选C。 3. 根据“They believe that early episodic memory could be too distracting at an early age when we're still trying to understand how the world works!”可知，当我们还在试图理解世界是如何运作的时候，早期的情景记忆可能会分散我们的注意力，所以划线词意为“让人分心的”。故选A。 8.

(2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) A team of scientists wanted to do an experiment to see if it was possible to build a house out of used diapers (尿布). They just tried. At the beginning of the experiment, scientists collected recycled diapers in the recycling center. Then they brought them back to the science lab. There, they washed and dried the diapers. They made six different samples. Next, they went to the new factory and put the samples in a special machine to test how strong they were. Finally, they could tell how much diaper waste they could use because too much made the building materials (材料) weak. The scientists made a plan and built a small house in the garden next to their lab because it had an open area. The house had two bedrooms and a bathroom. Diapers could replace 27% of the materials in the house's load — bearing (承重) parts. Diapers were very useful because some parts of the house didn't have to hold a lot of weight, such as walls that divided rooms. What did people think of this try? Some thought it was good because reusing diapers meant less rubbish in landfills. It might also make houses cheaper but others believed it was not so good because separating out diapers from other waste and washing them took a lot of work. Besides, not all the parts of diapers could be used. 1.Where did the scientists test the diapers? A. In the new factory. B. In the garden. C. In the recycling center. D. In the science lab. 2.What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. Diapers made the houses stronger. B. Picking diapers out took little work. C. Every part of the diaper could be used. D.

(2023-2024上·安徽省合肥市·期末考试) An electronic book — known as an e-book — is the text and art of a book published in digital form. Some say the convenience of a digital (数字的) book beats the benefits of reading a real book, that is, a book printed on paper. Is that true? A famous writer once wrote, "You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax. All you need is a book!" Back then, of course, he meant a book printed on paper, but today that's not the only way to read one. People can choose to read a real book, or they can read an e-book on an e-reader device (设备) or a computer. Many people like reading e-books because they are convenient and easy to carry. However, a real book can never be replaced. There is nothing better than the feel of a real book, from the weight of it in your hand to the satisfaction of turning each page. It's part of the experience of reading — just like going to a library or bookstore and turning the pages of a book freely. Scrolling (滚屏) through a device isn't the same. And not every kind of book translates well to digital. Plus, e-books can require expensive devices that need to be charged (充电), as well as Internet access (权限) to download books. That's not always possible or convenient. A printed book, however, doesn't have to be connected to be enjoyed. What's more, when reading a real book, you can feel a pleasure of the mind, which will help you get information and remember it more effectively. And it contributes towards developing the communication skills and unlock our imagination. In 2022, sales of e-books in the US was about $1 billion in total, while real books sales hit $9.1 billion. In a survey, 30% of Americans who read books chose e-books, while most still prefer real books. Besides, research shows that understanding improves when people read books in print, rather than in digital form. 1.Why do some people like reading e-books? A. E-books provide more understanding. B. E-books are convenient and easy to carry. C. E-books increase printing costs and paper use. D. E-books benefit people with reading difficulties. 2.What can we know from paragraph 3? A. People are too busy to read a real book. B. Children are into reading e-books nowadays. C. It is enjoyable to read real books in a library. D. All the real books can be translated well to digital. 3.What's the purpose of listing numbers in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of reading books. B. To show the popularity of reading real books. C. To give examples of American best-selling books. D. To compare the differences of the two reading habits. 【答案】B、C、B 【解析】【文章大意】本文主要介绍了与电子书相比，纸质书对我们有哪些好处。 1. 根据第二段“Many people like reading e-books because they are convenient and easy to carry.”可知，一些人喜欢阅读电子书，因为它们方便，便于携带。故选B。 2. 根据第三段内容，尤其是“What's more, when reading a real book, you can feel a pleasure of the mind, which will help you get information and remember it more effectively.”可知，在图书馆里读纸质书是令人愉快的，故选C。 3. 根据最后一段“In 2022, sales of e-books in the US was about $1 billion in total, while real books sales hit $9.1 billion.”可知，本段主要表明阅读纸质书很受欢迎，故选B。 12.

The news made waves in Chinese social media（媒体）.Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives，and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health.However，others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities（内陆城市）to be able to swim. In fact，this is not a new rule.Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming. Anyway，it is still good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued.Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability？ 1.According to the passage，what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua university？ ______ A.
