He explained, “It means let's see how things go. The weather report says it will be rainy tomorrow.” Last October, I was waiting for the bus in a station. Beside me sat a young man. When he knew I was Chinese, he asked me something about the Great Wall. I told him, “The Great Wall is more than 20,000 kilometers long.” The man said, “You don't say.” I was surprised. “There must be something wrong with him,” I thought. Later, I knew he meant “Really?”. I was once invited to my classmate's home. His mother said to me, “Break your ice, please.” I wondered, “You didn't give me any ice.” Later my classmate told me she meant I could make myself relaxed in their home. From then on, I realized English idioms had special meanings. It was wrong to translate(翻译)them word by word. （ ）11. Why did the writer go to America last year? A.He studied there.

A research shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins(蛋白质)improves memory. 16 Eating oily fish or dark chocolate (with over 70%cocoa) and taking Vitamin D3 can also help make your memory stronger. 17 A 2011 study showed that regular exercise actually increased brain size. Another study found that exercise improved memory in some older people; surprisingly it found that one single training period had the same effect on memory as a regular, long exercise period! One study found that eight weeks of short, daily meditation(冥想)improved memory. Other ways to relax can also improve our short-term memory. Try taking 5-10 minutes of your day to meditate or listen to music. 18 Experts say that age reduces our ability to learn,but sleep can help. 19 A 2019 study found that students learned things better before and after a short sleep! 20 Try to memorize information like phone numbers and addresses rather than putting the information in your phone. You could also learn a language or do brain training like crosswords (填字游戏). A. Or even just take a shower! B. The role of exercise is really important, too. C. Use your phone to help you memorize things. D. To keep your brain in good condition, you need to use it. E. For your brain to work well, 7-9 hours of sleep is necessary. F. Try to avoid (避免) sugary foods such as cakes and milk chocolate. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 四、语法填空。（2*10=20分） 阅读下面短文,在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内所给单词的正确形式。 Even though I have lived in Taiwan, English has always been 21. important part of my life.

Cooking is an important skill in life. Schools are supposed to teach knowledge to the students so that they can lead successful independent lives when they are out of school. Also, they can step into the world knowing how to make a living. Cooking helps discover future career. When schools offer cooking lessons, students will show an interest in it and might take cooking as a career. This will give them the chance to perfect their basic skills and be creative in the kitchen. Cooking avoids wasting money. One of the main reasons why cooking should be taught in schools is that the students always use a lot of money to buy ready-made food, while in the real sense they could prepare a nice meal with less cost by buying the required ingredients. Cooking betters math learning. Schools do not just teach how to prepare delicious meals.Students are also taught to follow the instructions in a standard when mixing ingredients. If it is “add 1/4 spoon of salt”, students should only add that amount. So there is no more or less. Cooking Should Be Taught in Schools Opinion Students should learn scientific knowledge and cooking skills. 31 An important skill in life ·Students can lead independent lives 32 when at home alone. ·Students can depend on themselves for basic living after graduation.
