If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever,I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s.I was writing and writing.I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me,because I did badly in all my courses. I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A,"How long did you study for this?"He said,"I didn't.I just glanced at it"So he must be smarter.I began to ask,"What will happen to me when I'm not good at anything?"Despite my doubts,I did become successful,and people now say to me,"So you've overcome dyslexia." No.You don't overcome it,you learn to compensate for it.Some easy things are very hard for me.Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do.I avoid dialing a phone if I can,because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right. Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift,not a curse().Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought,and that's what my kind of creative writing is.And I can write quickly,and can get up to 15 pages a day.Writing is my strength. The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school,but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school.Parents have to create victories for them,whether it's music,sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say,"Yeah,reading is hard.But I have other things I can do." 24.The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he A.wanted to know if they had the same problem B.didn't believe his daughter had the problem C.had to take a regular medical examination D.accepted that his daughter was not smart 25.We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer A.struggled and got better grades B.didn't work hard when he was young C.was praised for overcoming dyslexia D.was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier 26.According to the passage,a dyslexic person A.is less intelligent B.always fails in school C.reads more slowly than normal people D.performs worse in left-brain activities 27.What can we learn from the story? A.Clumsy birds have to start flying early. B.God shuts one door but opens another. C.Never judge a person by his appearance. D.No one can make a good coat with bad cloth. C Training the Brain People who can accomplish unbelievable tasks,such as memorizing thousands of random numbers in under an hour,state that they just have normal brains.Some memory superstars compete in Olympic-like World Memory Championships.These mental athletes,or MAs for short,can memorize names of dozens of strangers in a few minutes or any poem handed them.Ed Cooke,a 24-year-old MA,explains they see themselves as participants rescuing the long-lost art of memory training.These techniques existed not to recall useless information,but to cut into the brain basic text and ideas. A study in the journal Nature examined eight people who finished near the top of the World Memory Championships.The scientists examined whether their brains were fundamentally different from everyone else's or whether they were simply making better use of memorizing abilities we all possess.They put the MAs and control subjects into brain scanners and had them memorize numbers and photographs.The result surprised everyone.The brains of the MAs and those of the control subjects were indistinguishable.On every test,the MAs scored in the normal range.However,when the scientists examined what part of the brain was used during a memory activity,they found the MAs relied more heavily on areas in the brain involved in spatial memory. MAs offer an explanation:anything can be fixed upon our memories and kept in order by constructing a building in the imagination and filling it with pictures of what needs to be recalled.Dating back to the fifth century,the building is called a memory palace.Even as late as the fourteenth century,when there were copies of any text,scholars needed to remember what was read to them.Reading to remember requires a different technique than speed reading.If something is made memorable,it has to be repeated.Until relatively recently, people read only a few books intensively (again and again,usually aloud.Today we read extensively, usually only once and without continuous focus. So the great difference is the ability to create impressive pictures in mind and to do it quickly.Using memory palaces,MAs create memorized pictures.For example,recombine the pictures to form unforgettable scenes such as the ways through a town.One competitor used his own body parts to help him memorize a 57,000-word dictionary. Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical palaces in the imagination.Then they should cut each building into cubbyholes for memories.In a short amount of time,they will notice improvement with remembering things.To keep the skill sharp,MAs deliberately empty their palaces after competitions,so they can reuse them and they recommend that beginners do the same. 醇 28.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a mental athlete A.owns a brain that is larger in size B.shows a gift in mental ability tests C.uses the memorizing technique better D.depends less on the areas that control spatial memory 29.Why does the author mention"speed reading"in Paragraph 3? A.To discuss the memorizing technique in the fifth century. B.To give the reason why people read only a few books carefully. C.To explain the text fourteenth century scholars had to remember. D.To compare the type of reading nowadays with that of earlier times. 30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A.There is a variety of unforgettable scenes B.Memory palaces can be quickly forgotten. C.Impressive pictures are in actual buildings D.One person probably has 57,000 body parts. 31.What does the underlined word"cubbyholes"in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Small spaces. B.Blacks holes. C.Technical skills. D.Different numbers. 第三部分书面表达（共两节，27分） 第一节阅读表达（共4小题：第32、33题各2分，第34题3分，第35题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 Computers,smartphones,and audio players are an essential part of students'everyday lives.That means that whenever students are doing homework,they are going to be faced with the problem of using their devices for purposes other than learning.Instead of concentrating on one task,they are performing multiple tasks. According to the research by Larry Rosen,published in the journal Computers in Human Science,students spend up to 45%of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies.Students often get distracted(分神)by their phones or use their laptops for unauthorized(未经许可的)activities.Oten,students think that they are able to multitask effectively,without sacrificing their studies.However,the research shows that it is true in only 5%of all cases. But why do teenagers multitask?The answer is simple:multitasking makes us feel good.As these search indicates,the entertainment gained from secondary activities during studies makes learners feel better emotionally.Watching TV or talking to your friends by email is pleasant and helps students fight boredom while doing homework or listening to a lecture they find boring.Another reason why students multitask is that they simply do not see the negative impact it has on their coursework.Teenagers often overrate their abilities The seemingly tiny distractions,however,result in a constant need to switch focus and sort out information, injuring the brain by overuse and making the process inefficient. d中 However,the effects of multitasking are not entirely negative.The research conducted by HKU indicates that people who routinely multitask are able to use their senses in conjunction (more easily.Other research also shows that multitasking has a positive effect on the ability to pass judgment and solve problems quickly and efficiently. 32.What problem do students have when doing homework? .33.How does multitasking influence students'study? 34.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. Students choose to multitask even though they are aware that they might get distracted. 35.What measure(s)can you take to avoid your multitasking?Why?(In about 40 words) 第二节(15分) 36.假设你是红星中学高一学生会主席李华。你校将在春节期间举行中外学生联欢会。请你用英文 写一封邮件通知交换生，内容包括： 1.目的与安排： 2.报名方式。 注意：1.词数100左右： 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Friends, Sincerely, Li Hua
