The family said, “We really thank them from the ________ of our hearts.” —True kindness shines brightest in difficult times. A. way B. condition C. surface D. bottom 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——大火烧毁了他们的家后，邻居们立刻伸出了援手。这家人说：“我们真心从心底里感谢他们。” ——真正的善意在困境中最能闪耀光芒。 考查名词辨析。way方式；condition状况；surface表面；bottom底部。根据“After the fire destroyed their home…of our hearts.’”可知，此处指的是这家人从心底里感谢邻居们，from the bottom of one’s heart意为“从心底里；由衷地”，符合语境，故选D。 2. The hiker stood at the top of the mountain, feeling the strong wind blowing ________ his face as he looked down at the valley below. A. along B. above C. across D. against 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：登山者站在山顶，俯视下方的山谷时，感受到强风迎面吹来。 考查介词辨析。along沿着、顺着；above在……上方；across穿过、横过；against逆着、反对、对抗。根据“The hiker stood at the top of the mountain, feeling the strong wind blowing...his face as he looked down at the valley below.”可知，此处表示风迎面吹来，“against”准确描述了风与面部相对的方向。“blow against his face”表示“风逆着他的脸吹”，即“迎面吹来”。故选D。 3. —I think life without old friends is ________. After all, nothing can replace the comfort of long-term friendship. —I agree. Even with busy work, we should often visit our old friends. A. a bit boring B. a bit of boring C. a bit bored D. a bit of bored 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我觉得没有老朋友的生活有点无聊。毕竟，没什么能替代长久友谊带来的慰藉。 ——我同意。即使工作再忙，我们也应该常去看望老朋友。 考查副词和形容词的用法。a bit of一些，少量，后接不可数名词；a bit有点，修饰形容词；boring无聊的，修饰物；bored无聊的，修饰人；根据题目可知，此处是修饰形容词，表达“有点枯燥”，应用a bit修饰，排除B、D选项，又因语境分析，空白处修饰事情“life without old friends”，应用boring。故选A。 4. —Do you ________ enjoy watching cooking shows, Mrs. Brown? —No, and my husband doesn’t like them, ________. So we often order takeout on weekends. A. too; also B. also; either C. either; as well D. as well; either 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——布朗夫人，您也喜欢看烹饪节目吗？——不喜欢，我丈夫也不喜欢。所以我们周末经常点外卖。 考查“也”的不同表达及用法。too也，用于肯定句句末；also也，用于肯定句或疑问句句中；either也，用于否定句句末；as well也，用于肯定句句末。根据“—Do you...enjoy watching cooking shows, Mrs. Brown? —No, and my husband doesn’t like them...So we often order takeout on weekends.”可知，第一空：“also”常用于肯定句或疑问句中，位置在“be”动词、助动词、情态动词之后，实义动词之前，本句是一般疑问句，句中“enjoy”是实义动词，因此使用“also”；第二空：句子是否定句，此处位于句末，表达“也不喜欢”，使用“either”。故选B。 5. —Where is your mother? —She ________ the UK and she ________ London for two weeks. A. has been to; has been in B. has gone to; has been in C. has been in; has been to D. has gone to; has gone to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你妈妈哪里？——她去英国了，并且已经在伦敦待了两周了。 考查现在完成时态。has been to去过某地；has gone to去了某地，尚未回来；has been in在某地待了一段时间。根据“—Where is your mother? —She...the UK and she...London for two weeks.”可知，句中表示妈妈去英国了，并且在伦敦待了两周了，说明妈妈现在还没有回来，因此第一空使用“has gone to”；第二空应该使用“have been in”，强调妈妈在伦敦的持续状态。故选B。 6. —Learning English well is _________. —Yes, but it will become much easier if you _________. A. hard work, hard work B. hard work, work hard C. a hard work, hard work D. a hard work, work hard 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——学好英语是一项艰苦的工作。——是的，但如果你努力学习，它会变得容易得多 。 考查名词和动词短语用法。“work”作“工作；努力”讲时是不可数名词，不能用 “a” 修饰，“hard work” 表示“艰苦的工作；努力”，所以第一个空用 “hard work”；“work hard” 表示“努力学习；努力工作”，第二个空表达“如果你努力学习”，要用 “work hard”。故选B。 7. Living in a foreign country has been an exciting experience, and I’ve been used to the new culture. However, ________, I miss my family’s laughter around the dinner table. A. at a time B. from time to time C. at all times D. at any time 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在国外生活是一段令人兴奋的经历，我已经习惯了新的文化。然而，偶尔我会想念家人围坐在餐桌旁的笑声。 考查介词短语。at a time每次、一次；from time to time有时、偶尔；at all times始终、一直；at any time随时、在任何时候。根据“Living in a foreign country has been an exciting experience, and I’ve been used to the new culture. However...I miss my family’s laughter around the dinner table.”可知，句中虽然习惯了新文化，但“偶尔”会想念家人，体现了一种自然的情感波动，“from time to time”表示“时不时、偶尔”，符合语境。故选B。 8. In recent years, Nanjing has become an Internet-famous city for its local food, ________ salted duck and tangbao. A. for example B. because of C. such as D. instead of 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：近年来，南京因其地方美食而成为网红城市，比如盐水鸭和汤包。 考查介词短语。for example例如，后面常跟句子，用逗号隔开；because of由于，因为；such as例如，后跟短语；instead of代替，而不是。根据空格后“salted duck and tangbao”可知，此处应该是在例举。故选C。 9. Look! ________ high speed the roller coaster ________! A. How; moves at B. What; moves C. How; is moving at D. What; is moving at 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：看！过山车正以多快的速度行驶啊！ 考查感叹句的结构和动词时态。How多么，how修饰形容词或副词；What多么，修饰名词；moves at以……移动，第三人称单数；moves移动，第三人称单数；is moving at正以……移动，现在进行时。根据“Look!...high speed the roller coaster...!”可知，句中“high speed高速”是名词短语，需用“what”修饰；“以……速度”表达为“at...speed”，句中“Look!”表明句子时态是现在进行时，因此谓语动词需用“be+现在分词”，因此使用“is moving at”。故选D。 10. ---When ____ your cousin ____ his hometown? ---He _____ for nearly three years. A. has, left; has been away B. did, leave; has left C. has, left; has left D. did, leave; has been away 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你表弟什么时候离开的他的家乡？——他离开了几乎3年了。根据leave离开，短暂性动词，不能和时间段连用，be away离开，是延续性动词，和时间段连用，根据for nearly three years是时间段，排除B/C；根据when什么时候离开的，第一句用一般过去时态；故选D 11. —Excuse me, do you know ________ the concert tickets? —Sure. At the box office near the front door. A. how to get B. when to get C. what to get D. where to get 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——打扰一下，你知道在哪里能买到音乐会门票吗？ ——当然知道。在前门附近的售票处。 考查疑问词辨析。how to get如何得到；when to get何时得到；what to get得到什么；where to get哪里购买。根据“At the box office near the front door.”明确指出了地点，因此问句是对“在哪里能买到音乐会门票”进行提问。故选D。 12. —________ I come back before five o’clock? —No, you ________. But you ________ be back later than seven o’clock. A. Must; needn’t; can’t B. May; mustn’t; can’t C. Can; can’t; can’t D. Need; must; mustn’t 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我必须在五点前回来吗？——不，你不必。但是你不能晚于七点回来。 考查情态动词辨析。根据“—...I come back before five o’clock? —No, you...But you...be back later than seven o’clock.”可知，第一、二空：问句是一般疑问句，询问是否“必须”做某事，应该使用“Must”；情态动词“Must”用于提问时，否定回答用“needn’t”；第三空：此处表示你“不能”晚于七点回来，“can’t”表示“不能”，符合语境。故选A。 13. —I’ve had a wonderful time in your city. I will feel sorry for leaving. — ________. A. Don’t say that B. Oh, I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed yourself C. Enjoy yourself D. Goodbye 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我在你的城市度过了一段美好的时光。我会为离开感到遗憾。——哦，我很高兴你玩得开心。 考查情景交际。Don’t say that不要那样说；Oh, I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed yourself我很高兴你玩得很开心；Enjoy yourself玩得开心；Goodbye再见。根据“I’ve had a wonderful time in your city.”可知，对方是在自己城市玩得很开心，所以自己应感到很开心。故选B。 14.

Reading books 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：看图表。以下哪一项应该放在空白处？ 考查常识。Learning to write学习写作；Using English使用英语；Booking tickets订票；Reading books读书。图表呈现“Daily English”下的“An online course”，其分支是Shopping“购物”、Asking the way“问路”和Seeing a doctor“看病”，这些都属于日常英语在不同生活场景的应用，Booking tickets“订票”是合理的日常英语应用场景，故选C。 15.

Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways. One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world. In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom. Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 29. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By describing a scene. 30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Traveling alone. B. Inner strength. C. Outside influence. D. Traveling with others. 31. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】29. C 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了独自旅行和与朋友旅行，分别阐述二者优势，指出旅行方式无对错，取决于个人。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.”可知，作者通过提出问题的方式引入话题。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow.”可知，“it”指代前文的“Traveling alone” 。故选A。 【31题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段通过提问引入独自旅行和与朋友旅行的话题；第二段、第三段、第四段阐述独自旅行的优势；第五段、第六段阐述与朋友旅行的优势；第七段总结旅行方式无对错，取决于个人。故选A。 C Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Gold-diggers (淘金者) had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north. Buck had lived in Mr. Miller’s house for four years since he was born. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many other dogs, but they lived together in the kennels (狗舍), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. He was king—king over the whole of Mr. Miller’s lands. He went swimming with Mr. Miller’s sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter. This was 1897 when the discovery of gold brought men from everywhere to northwest Canada for gold-digging. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller’s farmers, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was away on business. Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only a strange man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck. Buck growled (低吼). Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man in anger. The man caught Buck and forced him to lie on his back. For a few moments he was unable to move. When the train arrived, the two men threw him into the train… ——Taken from the The Call of the Wild 32.

A. ④②③① B. ④①②③ C. ②④③① D. ③①④② 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文摘选自小说《野性的呼唤》，主要讲述了主角Buck的悲惨遭遇。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Gold-diggers (淘金者) had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north.”可知，淘金者在加拿大西北部发现了黄金，这些人想要又大又强壮的狗在北方寒冷的雪地里为他们工作，所以可推知这些淘金者想要训练大狗去淘金。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据通读全文可知，Buck曾经生活的幸福自在，然而，Manuel却因为钱把它卖给了淘金者，从此Buck的命运发生了改变，所以作者提到两次划线句是为了显示Buck没想到自己会处于危险的境地。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Buck growled (低吼). Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man in anger.”可知，Buck很生气，它会想方设法逃跑。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Buck had lived in Mr. Miller’s house for four years since he was born.…He was king—king over the whole of Mr. Miller’s lands.”可知，Buck和米勒一家幸福地生活在一起。根据“Manuel and Buck left the garden together.”可知，Manuel带它出去了。根据“This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.”可知，Manuel把Buck卖了，Buck被绳子系着。根据“When the train arrived, the two men threw him into the train”可知，Buck被扔到了火车上，所以顺序为④②③①。故选A。 D On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about 3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek, π. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate pi out to over a trillion decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to the number. This makes pi puzzling, even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians. Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14, since how we write this date, 3/14, looks just like the number pi. For some people the appeal (吸引力) of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science. Pi shows up throughout popular culture. You can see it in movies, comics, music and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to evoke (唤起) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,” said David Blatner, a Jewish-American writer of The Joy of Pi. ★ and competing against others to see who can remember the most. Most teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize.

It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective (有效的) study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. Plus, unlike traditional study methods like rereading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to take a more active part in the learning process. If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub-topics. If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them. The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: make the explanation simple enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires (需要) you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language possible. This step helps divide topics that are difficult to understand into their most basic parts. Next, review (复习) your explanation (解释) and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic in a simple way. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader. The fourth step is to improve your explanation, using the information collected from the third step. Finally, follow the steps over and over again. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic well, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee. The Feynman Technique: a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. Advantages It helps students really understand something ____56____ than just memorize information It helps make students learn a topic more ____57____. ____58____ ① Choose a topic that attracts you. ____59____ jumping between topics so that you can have a better understanding. ② Make your explanation simple enough for a Grade Six student. Make sure the difficult topic is divided into parts. ③ Go over your explanation. Find the area where you found yourself ____60____ to make the explanation simple enough. ④ Make your explanation improved, using the information collected from the third step. ⑤ ____61____ the steps to fully understand the topic. Tip Give yourself a prize once you learn the topic well. 77．How can you make your explanation better understood by a sixth-grade student?（不超过八个词） _________________________62_________________________ 78．What other methods do you think effective to improve your study?（不限定词数） _________________________63_________________________ 【答案】56. rather 57. actively 58. Steps 59. Avoid 60. unable 61. Repeat 62. By using the simplest and clearest language. 63. By using mind maps. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了费曼学习法。 【56题详解】 根据“For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information.”可知，它帮助学生真正理解一些东西，而不仅仅是记忆信息。rather than“而不是”与instead of同义，故填rather。 【57题详解】 根据“Plus, unlike traditional study methods like rereading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to take a more active part in the learning process.”可知，它促使学生更积极地参与学习过程。actively“积极地”，故填actively。 【58题详解】 根据“If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps...To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn...The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: make the explanation simple enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student...Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic in a simple way...Finally, follow the steps over and over again.”可知，以上是使用费曼学习法的步骤，故填Steps。 【59题详解】 根据“If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.”可知，避免在话题之间跳来跳去，这样你才能更好地理解。avoid“避免”，故填Avoid。 【60题详解】 根据“Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic in a simple way”可知，复习一下你解释，试着找出你觉得无法以简单方式解释这个话题的地方。be unable to do“不能做某事”，故填unable。 【61题详解】 根据“Finally, follow the steps over and over again...that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic.”可知。一遍又一遍地遵循这些步骤。repeat“重复”，故填Repeat。 【62题详解】 根据文章第五段“using the simplest and clearest language possible”可推知，答案需强调使用简单清晰的语言。故填By using the simplest and clearest language. 【63题详解】 开放性问题，答案不唯一。可填通过使用思维导图的方式来提高你的学习。故填By using mind maps.

They help teachers and parents discover the power of audio books for use in learning programs. See for yourself how sound learning can improve literacy (读写能力) for children of all ages. Visit www.SoundLearningAPA.org to explore the lesson plans, watch the videos, and encourage sound learning today. 26. Which of the following group might receive an advantage most from sound learning? A. School children. B. Industry experts. C. Parents of Grade 2. D. Literate adults. 27. Which of the following is TRUE about sound learning? A. It can help children understand 76% of the text. B. It can increase both reading accuracy (准确) and speed. C. It can improve other types of learning by 85%. D. It can help increase test scores of all subjects. 28. With the website, one will ________. A. meet some, technical difficulties B. have a chance to use many practical resources C. watch the latest award-winning videos D. improve literacy in less than two years B Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways. One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world. In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom. Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 29. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By describing a scene. 30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Traveling alone. B. Inner strength. C. Outside influence. D. Traveling with others. 31. What’s the structure of the passage? A B. C. D. C Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Gold-diggers (淘金者) had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north. Buck had lived in Mr. Miller’s house for four years since he was born. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many other dogs, but they lived together in the kennels (狗舍), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. He was king—king over the whole of Mr. Miller’s lands. He went swimming with Mr. Miller’s sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter. This was 1897 when the discovery of gold brought men from everywhere to northwest Canada for gold-digging. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller’s farmers, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was away on business. Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only a strange man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck. Buck growled (低吼). Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man in anger. The man caught Buck and forced him to lie on his back. For a few moments he was unable to move. When the train arrived, the two men threw him into the train… ——Taken from the The Call of the Wild 32.

A. ④②③① B. ④①②③ C. ②④③① D. ③①④② D On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about 3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek, π. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate pi out to over a trillion decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to the number. This makes pi puzzling, even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians. Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14, since how we write this date, 3/14, looks just like the number pi. For some people, the appeal (吸引力) of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science. Pi shows up throughout popular culture. You can see it in movies, comics, music and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to evoke (唤起) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,” said David Blatner, a Jewish-American writer of The Joy of Pi. ★ and competing against others to see who can remember the most. Most teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize. The Guinness World Record for reciting the most digits of pi is held by Lyu Chao of China, who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67,890 decimal places. Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number. People celebrate Pi Day by eating or throwing pic and with fun pi-related games and activities. In 2016, Princeton, New Jersey, held a birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14. There was also a “Walk a Pi Event” where people walked 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless. 36. Which description of pi is NOT correct? A. The number of pi is endless. B. Pi Day falls on March 14. C. Pi was first found in Greece. D. People usually write pi as π. 37. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. There is no point memorizing decimal places of pi B.

In modern movies, the symbol pi is often used to ________. A. remind us of movies and comics B. stand for maths and science C. show great understanding of the world D. show something mysterious 39. People show interest in pi by ________. a. calculating it out to over a trillion decimal places b. reciting as many digits of pi as possible c. naming many inventions after pi d. including pi in many forms of creative work A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 40. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Fun activities to celebrate Pi Day. B. The importance of pi to math. C. People’s expectation of pi. D.

It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective (有效的) study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. Plus, unlike traditional study methods like rereading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to take a more active part in the learning process. If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub-topics. If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them. The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: make the explanation simple enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires (需要) you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language possible. This step helps divide topics that are difficult to understand into their most basic parts. Next, review (复习) your explanation (解释) and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic in a simple way. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader. The fourth step is to improve your explanation, using the information collected from the third step. Finally, follow the steps over and over again. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic well, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee. The Feynman Technique: a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. Advantages It helps students really understand something ____56____ than just memorize information.
