I used to have a really bad memory. Whenever I tried to memorize English passages or new words, I would forget them quickly. This made me worried and fall behind in my studies. To solve this problem, I began to learn and practice useful memory methods these days. Firstly, I no longer memorize things mechanically. Instead, I divide long and difficult texts into small parts and learn them step by step. Besides, I connect new knowledge with my old memories, which makes it easier to remember. Most importantly, I develop a good habit of reviewing what I have learned every evening. I have already seen great changes in myself. I can now remember new words and text points much faster and longer than before. I hardly feel stressed when facing memory tasks. It turns out that proper methods are more important than blind hard work. I truly realize that memory is a skill that can be improved. I will keep sticking to these good habits and record my progress every week. I believe I will finally beat my memory problems and make greater progress in my study. 【范文译文】 11月2日 周日 晴 今天我决定写日记，记录自己克服记忆难题的进度。我以前记忆力很差，每次努力背诵英语短文、记忆新单词，很快就会遗忘。这让我十分焦虑，学习也跟不上进度。 为了解决这个问题，最近我开始学习并练习有效的记忆方法。首先，我不再死记硬背，而是把冗长难懂的文本拆分，分步学习。除此之外，我将新知识和已有的知识关联起来，让记忆变得更轻松。最重要的是，我养成了每晚复习所学内容的好习惯。 我已经看到了自己的巨大改变。现在我记单词、记知识点的速度更快、记忆更持久，面对记忆任务也几乎不会感到焦虑。事实证明，合适的方法比盲目努力更重要。 我深刻意识到，记忆力是一项可以后天提升的技能。我会继续坚持这些好习惯，每周记录自己的进步。我相信我终将攻克记忆难题，在学习上取得更大的进步。 写｜作｜拓｜展 一、单元写作拓展词汇 1. challenge 挑战；难题 2. progress 进步；进展 3. success 成功；成就 4. failure 失败；失误 5. habit 习惯 6. effort 努力；付出 7. practice 练习；实践 8. patience 耐心 9. persistence 坚持 10. improvement 提升；改善 11. difficulty 困难；难题 12. solution 解决方案 13. suggestion 建议；提议 14. advice 建议；忠告 15. method 方法 16. skill 技巧；技能 17. ability 能力；才能 18. experience 经历；体验 19. memory 回忆；记忆 20. moment 时刻；瞬间 21. happiness 幸福；快乐 22. warmth 温暖；温情 23. sadness 难过；悲伤 24. feeling 感受；心情 25. mood 情绪 26. study 学习；研习 27. learn 学习；得知 28. master 掌握；精通 29. understand 理解；明白 30. review 复习 31. organize 整理；规划 32. plan 计划；安排 33. focus 专注；聚焦 34. concentrate 集中注意力 35. observe 观察 36. healthy 健康的 37. active 积极的；活跃的 38. positive 积极乐观的 39. confident 自信的 40. calm 冷静的 41. forgetful 健忘的 42. useful 有用的 43. effective 有效的 44. valuable 宝贵的 45. meaningful 有意义的 46. daily 日常的 47. regular 规律的 48. proper 合适的；恰当的 49. simple 简单的 50. great 显著的；极好的 二、单元写作拓展句式 1.

Scientists have discovered that emotion plays a huge role. We are much more likely to remember events that made us feel strong emotions—like joy, fear, or surprise—than events that were boring. This is because of a part of the brain called the amygdala (杏仁核). When we experience something emotional, the amygdala “tags” the memory. It tells the brain, “This is important! Remember this!” This is why you can probably remember exactly what you were doing on your 10th birthday, but you can’t remember what you ate for lunch three Tuesdays ago. This “emotional memory” was very useful for our ancestors. Remembering which berry made them sick (fear) or where they found sweet fruit (joy) helped them survive. Today, it still affects us. A student is more likely to remember a science experiment that ended with a loud bang (surprise) than one that was quiet. However, this can also be a problem. If a student has a very embarrassing moment in class, they might remember it for years, even though it’s not important for survival. Understanding this can help us. If we want to remember something, we should try to connect it to an emotion. Making learning fun and exciting is not just enjoyable; it’s a smart memory strategy. 1．According to the text, which memory is the brain most likely to keep? A．A boring daily routine. B．A quiet moment of rest. C．An event causing strong feelings. D．A list of unrelated facts. 2．What is the function of the amygdala? A．To control body movements. B．To mark important emotional memories. C．To help us forget painful experiences. D．To store long-term memories. 3．Why did the writer mention “our ancestors” in Paragraph 3? A．To explain why emotional memory was useful for survival. B．To compare modern life with ancient times. C．To show that people today are less emotional. D．To describe how they found food. 4．What is the writer’s suggestion for better memory? A．Avoid all emotional experiences. B．Connect what you learn with emotions. C．Only study important survival skills. D．Forget embarrassing moments quickly. 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how we remember things. Apps like “Memories” can now automatically sort through thousands of your photos, identify faces, and even create video montages (蒙太奇) of your life events. Some people love this, saying it helps them preserve precious moments they would have otherwise forgotten. However, some experts are worried. They argue that outsourcing (外包) our memory to machines might make our own memories weaker. If you know your phone will remember everything for you, will you bother to remember it yourself? This is known as “digital amnesia” (数字失忆症). There is also the question of accuracy. AI might label a photo as “Grandma’s birthday,” but what if it’s wrong? Over time, we might start to believe the AI’s version of our past instead of our own memories. Furthermore, these digital memories are not truly ours; they are data owned by companies. If the service shuts down, those memories could be lost forever. Despite these concerns, AI is a powerful tool. The key is balance. We should use AI to help us organize and rediscover our memories, but we shouldn’t let it replace the personal, emotional act of remembering. Our memories are a part of who we are. We should cherish them, not just store them on a chip. 5．What is the main benefit of AI memory apps mentioned in the text? A．They can replace human memory completely. B．They help people preserve forgotten moments. C．They make photos more beautiful. D．They prevent people from making mistakes. 6．What is “digital amnesia”? A．The fear of using digital devices. B．Forgetting things because we rely on devices. C．A disease caused by staring at screens. D．The loss of data due to computer viruses. 7．Why are some experts concerned about AI labeling photos? A．It might be inaccurate and change our perception of the past. B．It is too expensive for most people. C．It takes too much time to process. D．It makes photos look unnatural. 8．What is the writer’s attitude towards using AI for memory? A．Strongly against it. B．Completely supportive. C．In favor of balance and caution. D．Uninterested and neutral. 3 Have you ever wondered why some people seem to learn new things easily while others struggle? Scientists have found that the way we learn makes a big difference. One study shows that “spaced repetition” is a very effective learning method. This means reviewing information at different times instead of studying it all at once. For example, if you study a new word today, you should review it tomorrow, then in three days, then in a week. This helps your brain store the information in long-term memory. Another useful method is “self-explanation”. When you learn something new, try to explain it to yourself in your own words. This helps you understand the idea more deeply and find out what you don’t really understand. “Active recall” is also popular among good learners. Instead of just reading your notes again and again, close your book and try to remember the key points. This practice strengthens your memory and helps you find the weak points. Interestingly, many students believe that highlighting (高亮标记) is helpful. But research shows that it is not as useful as people think. Highlighting can make you feel like you are learning, but it doesn’t really help you remember the information. 9．What does “spaced repetition” mean? A．Studying everything at once. B．Reviewing information at different times. C．Reading notes again and again. D．Highlighting important parts. 10．What should you do when using “self-explanation”? A．Ask your teacher for help. B．Write down everything you read. C．Explain the idea in your own words. D．Read the material many times. 11．What is the benefit of “active recall”? A．It helps you read faster. B．It helps you highlight more. C．It helps you remember better and find weak points. D．It helps you understand your teacher better. 12．According to the passage, which method is NOT as useful as people think? A．Spaced repetition. B．Self-explanation. C．Active recall. D．Highlighting. 13．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Learning is very difficult for everyone. B．Different learning methods have different effects. C．Highlighting is the best way to learn. D．Scientists don’t know much about learning. 4 Do you know why some old memories stay clear in our minds for many years? Scientists have found an interesting answer. We usually remember moments with strong feelings easily. Happy family time, exciting trips or even sad moments leave deep marks in our brain. That’s why many people can still describe things that happened when they were young. If you want to build good memories, you can try this tip: link new information with your feelings. When you learn new knowledge, try to imagine interesting pictures. You will find it much easier to remember. Some students ask whether old photos can help with memory. The answer is yes. Photos act as good reminders. When you look at a photo, your brain will begin to dig out all the stories behind it. However, memory is not perfect. As time goes by, some small details will slowly disappear. That is why we should try our best to keep our valuable memories. 14．What kind of moments can we remember easily? A．Moments with strong feelings. B．Moments that happen at school. C．Moments without any feelings. D．Moments happening in the evening. 15．What tip does the writer give us to build good memories? A．Sleep for a long time every day. B．Link new information with feelings. C．Write everything down in notebooks. D．Talk with your friends every day. 16．What can photos do according to the passage? A．Stop people from forgetting everything. B．Help us bring back our old memories. C．Record people’s daily food. D．Change people’s bad feelings. 17．What will happen to memory as time passes? A．All memories will disappear at once. B．Some small details may disappear slowly. C．Every memory will stay clear forever. D．Memories will become more and more. 18．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How feelings influence our memory. B．How to take beautiful photos. C．How to take good care of photos. D．How to have a happy family life. 5 Have you ever wondered why some people remember things easily while others forget them quickly? Scientists have been studying memory for many years, and they have found some surprising facts.    First, sleep plays a very important role in memory. When you sleep, your brain works hard to organise and store the information you learned during the day. A study from Harvard University showed that students who slept for eight hours after learning new words remembered 40% more than those who did not sleep well. So, if you want to remember what you studied, do not stay up too late!     Second, exercise is good not only for your body but also for your brain. When you exercise, your heart pumps more blood to your brain. This helps your brain cells grow and connect better. Research has found that students who do physical activities for at least 30 minutes a day perform better in memory tests. Even a short walk can make a difference.      Third, the food you eat also affects your memory. Foods rich in omega-3—such as fish, walnuts and eggs—are especially good for the brain. Blueberries, which are full of antioxidants, have been called "brain berries" because they can help improve short-term memory. On the other hand, eating too much sugar can actually make your memory worse.      Finally, the way you learn matters too. Scientists suggest that it is better to study for short periods with breaks than to study for hours without stopping. This is called “spaced learning.” Also, teaching what you have learned to someone else is a great way to remember it. Studies show that people remember about 90% of what they teach others, but only 10% of what they just read.     So, the next time you find it hard to remember something, try getting more sleep, doing some exercise, eating the right foods, and changing the way you study. Your brain will thank you! 19．According to the passage, what happens when you sleep? A．Your brain organises and stores information. B．Your brain stops working completely. C．You forget everything you learned. D．Your body makes new brain cells. 20．Why are blueberries called “brain berries”? A．They look like a brain. B．They are blue in colour. C．Only smart people eat them. D．They can help improve short-term memory. 21．What does “spaced learning” mean according to the passage? A．Studying in a very quiet space. B．Studying for short periods with breaks. C．Studying the same thing every day. D．Studying many subjects at the same time. 22．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．Eating more sugar can improve your memory. B．Exercise only helps your body, not your brain. C．Teaching others helps you remember better. D．Studying for hours without stopping is the best way. 6 Short-Term and Long-Term Memory Human memory has two main types: short-term memory and long-term memory, and they work in completely different ways. Short-term memory only holds information for a short period, such as a stranger’s phone number you just heard. If you do not repeat or record it, you will run out of this memory quickly within minutes. Long-term memory stores knowledge for months, years or even a whole lifetime. When you connect new facts with things you already know, the brain will move them into long-term memory. Many students fail to tell the difference between the two kinds of memory, so they only do last-minute review for exams. This learning method is inefficient. Memory experts give several practical tips. First, do not learn for too long without breaks. If you study nonstop for hours, your brain will get worn out and you cannot absorb new information well. Second, review knowledge regularly. Every time you go through what you have learned, you strengthen the memory chain in your brain. Third, make full use of all your senses. Drawing mind maps, listening to audio materials and imagining vivid scenes all help form deep memories. Good sleep is also necessary for memory building. While you are asleep, your brain sorts and organizes all the information you took in during the day. People who stay up late every night usually have weak memory, because their brains cannot finish sorting memory materials completely. The two kinds of memory remind us: there is no one-size-fits-all memory method. Only by using scientific strategies and keeping healthy living habits can we turn short-term knowledge into long-term memory. 23．How long can short-term memory keep information without review? A．For several years. B．For a few minutes. C．For one whole year. D．For many months. 24．What can help move information into long-term memory? A．Only reciting texts once. B．Connecting new knowledge with old experience. C．Staying up late to study all night. D．Learning without any rest breaks. 25．What will happen if we study for hours nonstop? A．Our brain will work better. B．New information is hard to absorb. C．We can remember all knowledge clearly. D．Long-term memory will form fast. 26．Why does good sleep help our memory? A．Sleep lets our brain organize daily information. B．Sleep makes us memorize words automatically. C．We can dream of all learning materials at night. D．Sleep replaces all review work for students. 27．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Short-term memory is useless for students. B．The two memory types and scientific ways to improve memory. C．Long-term memory only depends on late-night study. D．We can use one single method to memorize everything. 7 I always told my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years of their life, they learned skills and language so quickly. I had a particularly clear memory of watching my son work out how to play a Lego toy and I told him, “You’re such an architectural (建筑的) genius. Mom is proud of you.” But some research suggests that we should not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do important things. When I first heard about it, I disagreed. But after doing some research, I gradually agreed. It all goes back to “growth mindset”, which means that you can change your abilities through hard work and strategies (策略) . Compared to a “growth mindset”, a “fixed mindset” is the idea that your abilities are inborn and can’t be changed. When we praise our children for being “smart” based on success, like solving a problem or doing well on a test. We’re encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart. And it’s not just what we say about our children’s success that matters—it’s how we tolerate (容忍) their failures. A study led by a scientist named Kyle shows if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be derailed by mistakes. For example, Dr. Kyle explains, your children may have difficulty in solving math problems and you may say something like “Not everyone needs to be good at numbers” as a way to comfort them. But what you’re really doing is suggesting that their math abilities are already set, and can’t be changed. Whatever you say to your kids, it’s about getting them comfortable with failures. Here are some tips from Dr. Kyle. One way is to praise kids’ hard work instead of their intelligence. As Dr. Kyle pointed out, if we praise a kid for a school project he finished in five minutes, he would know our praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questions about how he did it, which can help us know how to praise future hard work. Also, we can talk about our mistakes. We don’t have to hide our negative (消极的) feelings. If we point out our missteps and explain how we insisted, our children can learn to do the same. 28．What did the author believe about praising children’s intelligence at first? A．It should be avoided and changed. B．It was important and encouraged. C．It was harmful to their development. D．It should only be done for great achievements. 29．Why shouldn’t parents always praise children for their intelligence? A．Because it would make children unwilling to try harder. B．Because children would be tired of hearing praise. C．Because children would become overconfident. D．Because it would make children doubt themselves when they do wrong. 30．Which can best replace the underlined word “derailed” in paragraph 3? A．encouraged B．praised C．prevented D．received 31．Which of the following does Dr. Kyle suggest parents should do? A．Hide their negative feelings. B．Work out a solution together with kids. C．Focus on kids’ process of finishing a task. D．Try to avoid talking about their missteps. 8 People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives. Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were. Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die. Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them. Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don’t read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books. 32．We can learn from the second paragraph that ________. A．reading can improve your memory B．reading can make you interesting and attractive C．reading can make you smarter D．reading can reduce stress 33．The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A．the books they are reading B．the directions on a medicine bottle C．the good reading skills D．the words a doctor tells a sick person 34．Some people disagree to read books because they think ________. A．walking in the city also needs reading skills B．driving along the road is dangerous C．reading books is very helpful for our abilities D．reading books just wastes their time 35．The best title of the passage can be ________. A．People Should Enjoy Themselves B．How We Improve Reading Skills C．Why People Should Read Books D．What We Love Doing in Spare Time 9 Nowadays, more and more students are using online resources to help with their learning. Is it a good way? Let’s look at the pros and cons. Pros: 1. Rich Resources: You can find videos, articles, exercises, and even full courses on almost any subject. 2. Convenient: You can learn anytime and anywhere if you have a computer or a smartphone. 3. Personalized Learning: Some apps can find your weak points and give you special exercises. 4. Interactive: Many websites have games, quizzes, and discussion forums to make learning fun. Cons: 1. Distraction: It’s easy to start watching funny videos or playing games instead of studying. 2. Information Overload: There is too much information online. Sometimes it’s hard to know which sources are trustworthy. 3. Less Face-to-face Communication: Learning online alone might reduce chances to practice speaking or work with classmates. 4. Bad for Eyes: Staring at screens for too long can hurt your eyes. So, how can we make good use of online learning? First, set clear goals before you go online. For example, “I will watch one 15-minute math video and finish 10 exercises.” Second, choose good websites or apps that teachers recommend. Third, balance online and offline learning. Don’t forget to read books, discuss with friends, and do experiments in real life. Remember, the Internet is a powerful tool, but you are the one who controls it. 36．What is NOT mentioned as a “pro” of online learning? A．Rich resources. B．It’s very cheap. C．It’s convenient. D．It can be personalized. 37．What does “distraction” in the “Cons” part mean? A．something that helps you focus B．something that takes your attention away C．something that makes you smarter D．something that improves your memory 38．Why is “information overload” a problem? A．Because all information online is wrong. B．Because it’s hard to know which information is good and trustworthy. C．Because it makes the computer very slow. D．Because teachers don’t like it. 39．What is the writer’s advice for using online learning well? A．Never use the Internet for learning. B．Spend all day learning online. C．Set goals, choose good resources, and balance it with offline learning. D．Only use it for playing educational games. 40．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To encourage students to spend more time online. B．To ask students to stop using the Internet. C．To show the good and bad sides of online learning and give advice. D．To introduce the history of online learning. 10 Mindfulness Matters In recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation (冥想), or mindfulness training, into their classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety, control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork. Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation can also help students overcome anxiety. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies. Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous (严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isn’t thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness. Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students. Meditation should be a part of every student’s school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities. 41．Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes? A．To control students’ working memory. B．To reduce students’ stress and anxiety. C．To increase students’ attendance rates. D．To research students’ thoughts and feelings. 42．What can we learn from the passage? A．Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school. B．Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities. C．Students felt more stressed after joining yoga classes three times a week. D．Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice. 43．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To explain why students suffer from anxiety and stress. B．To introduce the results of a study on mindfulness training. C．To show different opinions on introducing meditation into classrooms. D．To advise that mindfulness should be part of students’ school life. 44．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness training B．students will become more talented with mindfulness training C．doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness training D．mindfulness training decides students’ mental and physical health 参考答案 1 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，解释了情绪如何影响大脑的记忆选择，介绍了杏仁核的作用，并给出利用情绪提高记忆的建议。 1．第一段指出“We are much more likely to remember events that made us feel strong emotions”，因此大脑最容易记住引起强烈感受的事件。 2．第二段说明“the amygdala ‘tags’ the memory. It tells the brain, ‘This is important! Remember this!’”，杏仁核的功能是标记重要的情绪记忆。 3．第三段提到“This ‘emotional memory’ was very useful for our ancestors”，并举例说明帮助生存，因此提及祖先是为了解释情绪记忆的生存价值。 4．最后一段指出“we should try to connect it to an emotion”，作者建议将学习内容与情绪连接以增强记忆。 2 5．B 6．B 7．A 8．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍人工智能记忆类应用的优缺点，它可以帮助人们保存珍贵回忆，但也会造成数字失忆、信息不准等问题，作者主张要平衡、谨慎地使用这类工具。 5．第一段提到：“Some people love this, saying it helps them preserve precious moments they would have otherwise forgotten.”，这直接说明AI记忆应用的主要益处是帮助人们留存本会遗忘的珍贵瞬间。 6．第二段给出定义：“outsourcing our memory to machines might make our own memories weaker…This is known as ‘digital amnesia’”，说明“数字失忆症”指人们依赖设备，导致自身记忆力减弱、容易遗忘事情。 7．第三段说明缘由：“AI might label a photo as ‘Grandma’s birthday,’ but what if it’s wrong? Over time, we might start to believe the AI’s version of our past instead of our own memories.”，由此可知专家担忧AI标注照片，是因为它可能出错，并且改变我们对过去的认知。 8．最后一段表明作者态度：“The key is balance. We should use AI to help us organize and rediscover our memories, but we shouldn’t let it replace the personal, emotional act of remembering.”，由此能够看出作者提倡平衡且谨慎地使用AI处理记忆。 3 9．B 10．C 11．C 12．D 13．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了几种不同的学习方法，对比说明不同学习方法有不一样的学习效果。 9．根据文章第二段“This means reviewing information at different times instead of studying it all at once.”可知，“spaced repetition”的意思是在不同的时间复习信息，而不是一次性学习所有内容。 10．根据文章第三段“When you learn something new, try to explain it to yourself in your own words.”可知，使用“自我解释”法时，应该尝试用自己的话向自己解释这个想法。 11．根据文章第四段“This practice strengthens your memory and helps you find the weak points.”可知，“主动回忆”的好处是加强记忆并帮助发现薄弱点。 12．根据文章第五段“But research shows that it is not as useful as people think. Highlighting can make you feel like you are learning”可知，研究表明“高亮标记”并没有人们认为的那么有用。 13．通读全文可知，文章介绍了间隔重复、自我解释、主动回忆等多种学习方法，并对比了高亮标记的效果，旨在说明不同的学习方法产生的效果是不同的。 4 14．A 15．B 16．B 17．B 18．A 【解析】本文主要探讨了为什么某些旧记忆能长期保持清晰，指出带有强烈情感的时刻更容易被记住。文章还给出了建立良好记忆的建议，说明了老照片作为提醒物的作用，并提醒人们记忆并不完美，细节会随时间流逝而消失，因此要珍惜宝贵的记忆。 14．第二段明确指出：“We usually remember moments with strong feelings easily.”，说明我们容易记住那些带有强烈情感的时刻。 15．第三段明确指出：“If you want to build good memories, you can try this tip: link new information with your feelings.”，说明作者给出的建议是将新信息与情感联系起来。 16．第四段明确指出：“Photos act as good reminders. When you look at a photo, your brain will begin to dig out all the stories behind it.”，说明照片能帮助我们找回旧记忆。 17．第五段明确指出：“As time goes by, some small details will slowly disappear.”，说明随着时间的推移，一些小的细节可能会慢慢消失。 18．全文围绕记忆与情感的关系、如何通过情感联系增强记忆、照片对记忆的辅助作用以及记忆的局限性展开，核心主题是情感如何影响我们的记忆。 5 19．A 20．D 21．B 22．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家对记忆力的研究成果，分别从睡眠、运动、饮食、学习方式四个方面说明了影响记忆力的因素，并给出了提升记忆力的实用建议。 19．根据第二段“When you sleep, your brain works hard to organise and store the information you learned during the day.”可知，人在睡眠时大脑会整理并储存白天学到的信息。 20．根据第四段“Blueberries, which are full of antioxidants, have been called ‘brain berries’ because they can help improve short-term memory.”可知，蓝莓被称为“大脑浆果”是因为它有助于提升短期记忆力。 21．根据第五段“Scientists suggest that it is better to study for short periods with breaks than to study for hours without stopping. This is called ‘spaced learning.’” 可知，间隔学习法指的是短时间学习、中间穿插休息的学习方式。 22．根据第五段“Also, teaching what you have learned to someone else is a great way to remember it. Studies show that people remember about 90% of what they teach others, but only 10% of what they just read.”可知，教别人知识能帮助自己更好地记忆，C表述正确。 6 23．B 24．B 25．B 26．A 27．B 【解析】本文介绍了人的记忆分为短期记忆和长期记忆，二者运作方式不同。 23．第一段提到：“Short-term memory only holds information for a short period...If you do not repeat or record it, you will run out of this memory quickly within minutes.”，说明短时记忆仅维持数分钟。 24．第二段提到：“When you connect new facts with things you already know, the brain will move them into long-term memory.”，说明新旧知识串联可转入长期记忆。 25．第三段提到：“If you study nonstop for hours, your brain will get worn out and you cannot absorb new information well.”，说明长时间不停学习难以吸收新知识。 26．第四段提到：“While you are asleep, your brain sorts and organizes all the information you took in during the day.”，说明睡眠时大脑整理日间信息。 27．通读全文，文章先介绍短期记忆和长期记忆的差异，再介绍科学的记忆提升方法，对应B选项的内容。 7 28．B 29．D 30．C 31．C 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲不应夸赞孩子聪明，要培养成长型思维，接纳失败，多肯定努力。     28．根据第二段“When I first heard about it, I disagreed.” 可知，作者起初并不认为夸孩子聪明有问题。结合第一段作者经常夸孩子聪明并感到骄傲，说明她起初认为这种做法是重要且值得鼓励的。 29．根据第二段“We’re encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart.” 可知，总是夸聪明会让孩子在做错事时怀疑自己的智力。 30．根据第三段语境，如果父母认为失败是可耻的，孩子更容易被错误“derailed”。下文提到孩子解数学题困难，暗示progress受阻。derailed原意为脱轨，此处引申为受阻、被打断。prevented“阻碍、防止”最符合语境。 31．根据第四段Dr. Kyle的建议：“praise kids’ hard work instead of their intelligence” 以及“ask him questions about how he did it”，可知建议家长关注孩子完成任务的过程和努力，而非结果或天赋。 8 32．C 33．B 34．D 35．C 【解析】本文围绕“人们应读书”展开论述，阐述书籍能带来知识、提升能力，且在社会生活各方面都需阅读，反驳“读书浪费时间”的观点，强调阅读对生活的重要性。 32．根据第二段“Books can make people cleverer...”可知，阅读书籍可以让人变得更聪明。选项C 中的“smarter”与文中的“cleverer”意思相近，故选C。 33．根据第三段“Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle...”以及“Someone could not understand them...”可知，这里的“them”指代的是前文提到的药瓶上的说明，如果看不懂说明可能会导致生病，故选B。 34．根据第五段“Some people say that reading is a waste of time...”可知，有些人不同意读书是因为他们认为阅读只是浪费时间，故选D。 35．通读全文可知，文章首先指出现在读书的人少了，接着通过多个段落阐述了阅读带来的知识、安全、能力提升等好处，最后总结认为人们应该读书。整篇文章主要在论述阅读的重要性及理由，因此C选项“人们为什么要读书”最适合作为标题，故选C。 9 36．B 37．B 38．B 39．C 40．C 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，文章客观地分析了利用网络资源进行学习的优点和缺点，并在此基础上为学生们如何有效利用在线学习提出了三点具体建议，旨在引导学生理性、平衡地使用这一工具。 36．文中“Pros”部分第1—4点：“Rich Resources”、“Convenient”、“Personalized Learning”和“Interactive”，文中提到了资源丰富、方便、个性化、互动性强，未提及“cheap”。 37．文中“Cons”部分第1点：“It’s easy to start watching funny videos or playing games instead of studying.”，“distraction”指让人分心、把注意力从学习上移开的事物。 38．文中“Cons”部分第2点：“There is too much information online. Sometimes it’s hard to know which sources are trustworthy.”，信息太多，难以辨别哪些可信，这是信息过载带来的问题。 39．文章最后一段：“First, set clear goals… Second, choose good websites… Third, balance online and offline learning.”，作者建议设定目标、选择优质资源、平衡线上线下学习。 40．综合全文，尤其是第一段“Let’s look at the pros and cons.”和最后一段“So, how can we make good use of online learning?”，文章先讲在线学习的利弊，再给出使用建议。 10 41．B 42．D 43．D 44．A 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，讨论学校引入正念训练的益处（如减轻压力、提升专注力），虽有争议，但作者主张正念应成为学生校园生活的一部分。 41．第一段明确指出：“Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety...reduce stress”，说明引入目的是减轻学生压力和焦虑。 42．第二段提到：“after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused”，即学生注意力更集中。 43．最后一段强调：“Meditation should be a part of every student’s school day”，表明作者目的是建议正念纳入校园生活。 44．第四段提到：“additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits”，说明作者认同进一步研究将证明正念益处。 二、书面表达 1．假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Mary向你请教如何提高记忆力。请你根据以下提示给她写一封回信，提出你的建议。短文需包括以下要点。 注意：1. 词数：80左右 (短文的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数)； 2. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息，否则不予评分。 Dear Mary， I’m glad to give you some advice on how to improve your memory. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

It turns out that proper methods are more important than blind hard work. I truly realize that memory is a skill that can be improved. I will keep sticking to these good habits and record my progress every week. I believe I will finally beat my memory problems and make greater progress in my study. 【范文译文】 11月2日 周日 晴 今天我决定写日记，记录自己克服记忆难题的进度。我以前记忆力很差，每次努力背诵英语短文、记忆新单词，很快就会遗忘。这让我十分焦虑，学习也跟不上进度。 为了解决这个问题，最近我开始学习并练习有效的记忆方法。首先，我不再死记硬背，而是把冗长难懂的文本拆分，分步学习。除此之外，我将新知识和已有的知识关联起来，让记忆变得更轻松。最重要的是，我养成了每晚复习所学内容的好习惯。 我已经看到了自己的巨大改变。现在我记单词、记知识点的速度更快、记忆更持久，面对记忆任务也几乎不会感到焦虑。事实证明，合适的方法比盲目努力更重要。 我深刻意识到，记忆力是一项可以后天提升的技能。我会继续坚持这些好习惯，每周记录自己的进步。我相信我终将攻克记忆难题，在学习上取得更大的进步。 写｜作｜拓｜展 一、单元写作拓展词汇 1. challenge 挑战；难题 2. progress 进步；进展 3. success 成功；成就 4. failure 失败；失误 5. habit 习惯 6. effort 努力；付出 7. practice 练习；实践 8. patience 耐心 9. persistence 坚持 10. improvement 提升；改善 11. difficulty 困难；难题 12. solution 解决方案 13. suggestion 建议；提议 14. advice 建议；忠告 15. method 方法 16. skill 技巧；技能 17. ability 能力；才能 18. experience 经历；体验 19. memory 回忆；记忆 20. moment 时刻；瞬间 21. happiness 幸福；快乐 22. warmth 温暖；温情 23. sadness 难过；悲伤 24. feeling 感受；心情 25. mood 情绪 26. study 学习；研习 27. learn 学习；得知 28. master 掌握；精通 29. understand 理解；明白 30. review 复习 31. organize 整理；规划 32. plan 计划；安排 33. focus 专注；聚焦 34. concentrate 集中注意力 35. observe 观察 36. healthy 健康的 37. active 积极的；活跃的 38. positive 积极乐观的 39. confident 自信的 40. calm 冷静的 41. forgetful 健忘的 42. useful 有用的 43. effective 有效的 44. valuable 宝贵的 45. meaningful 有意义的 46. daily 日常的 47. regular 规律的 48. proper 合适的；恰当的 49. simple 简单的 50. great 显著的；极好的 二、单元写作拓展句式 1.

Scientists have discovered that emotion plays a huge role. We are much more likely to remember events that made us feel strong emotions—like joy, fear, or surprise—than events that were boring. This is because of a part of the brain called the amygdala (杏仁核). When we experience something emotional, the amygdala “tags” the memory. It tells the brain, “This is important! Remember this!” This is why you can probably remember exactly what you were doing on your 10th birthday, but you can’t remember what you ate for lunch three Tuesdays ago. This “emotional memory” was very useful for our ancestors. Remembering which berry made them sick (fear) or where they found sweet fruit (joy) helped them survive. Today, it still affects us. A student is more likely to remember a science experiment that ended with a loud bang (surprise) than one that was quiet. However, this can also be a problem. If a student has a very embarrassing moment in class, they might remember it for years, even though it’s not important for survival. Understanding this can help us. If we want to remember something, we should try to connect it to an emotion. Making learning fun and exciting is not just enjoyable; it’s a smart memory strategy. 1．According to the text, which memory is the brain most likely to keep? A．A boring daily routine. B．A quiet moment of rest. C．An event causing strong feelings. D．A list of unrelated facts. 2．What is the function of the amygdala? A．To control body movements. B．To mark important emotional memories. C．To help us forget painful experiences. D．To store long-term memories. 3．Why did the writer mention “our ancestors” in Paragraph 3? A．To explain why emotional memory was useful for survival. B．To compare modern life with ancient times. C．To show that people today are less emotional. D．To describe how they found food. 4．What is the writer’s suggestion for better memory? A．Avoid all emotional experiences. B．Connect what you learn with emotions. C．Only study important survival skills. D．Forget embarrassing moments quickly. 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how we remember things. Apps like “Memories” can now automatically sort through thousands of your photos, identify faces, and even create video montages (蒙太奇) of your life events. Some people love this, saying it helps them preserve precious moments they would have otherwise forgotten. However, some experts are worried. They argue that outsourcing (外包) our memory to machines might make our own memories weaker. If you know your phone will remember everything for you, will you bother to remember it yourself? This is known as “digital amnesia” (数字失忆症). There is also the question of accuracy. AI might label a photo as “Grandma’s birthday,” but what if it’s wrong? Over time, we might start to believe the AI’s version of our past instead of our own memories. Furthermore, these digital memories are not truly ours; they are data owned by companies. If the service shuts down, those memories could be lost forever. Despite these concerns, AI is a powerful tool. The key is balance. We should use AI to help us organize and rediscover our memories, but we shouldn’t let it replace the personal, emotional act of remembering. Our memories are a part of who we are. We should cherish them, not just store them on a chip. 5．What is the main benefit of AI memory apps mentioned in the text? A．They can replace human memory completely. B．They help people preserve forgotten moments. C．They make photos more beautiful. D．They prevent people from making mistakes. 6．What is “digital amnesia”? A．The fear of using digital devices. B．Forgetting things because we rely on devices. C．A disease caused by staring at screens. D．The loss of data due to computer viruses. 7．Why are some experts concerned about AI labeling photos? A．It might be inaccurate and change our perception of the past. B．It is too expensive for most people. C．It takes too much time to process. D．It makes photos look unnatural. 8．What is the writer’s attitude towards using AI for memory? A．Strongly against it. B．Completely supportive. C．In favor of balance and caution. D．Uninterested and neutral. 3 Have you ever wondered why some people seem to learn new things easily while others struggle? Scientists have found that the way we learn makes a big difference. One study shows that “spaced repetition” is a very effective learning method. This means reviewing information at different times instead of studying it all at once. For example, if you study a new word today, you should review it tomorrow, then in three days, then in a week. This helps your brain store the information in long-term memory. Another useful method is “self-explanation”. When you learn something new, try to explain it to yourself in your own words. This helps you understand the idea more deeply and find out what you don’t really understand. “Active recall” is also popular among good learners. Instead of just reading your notes again and again, close your book and try to remember the key points. This practice strengthens your memory and helps you find the weak points. Interestingly, many students believe that highlighting (高亮标记) is helpful. But research shows that it is not as useful as people think. Highlighting can make you feel like you are learning, but it doesn’t really help you remember the information. 9．What does “spaced repetition” mean? A．Studying everything at once. B．Reviewing information at different times. C．Reading notes again and again. D．Highlighting important parts. 10．What should you do when using “self-explanation”? A．Ask your teacher for help. B．Write down everything you read. C．Explain the idea in your own words. D．Read the material many times. 11．What is the benefit of “active recall”? A．It helps you read faster. B．It helps you highlight more. C．It helps you remember better and find weak points. D．It helps you understand your teacher better. 12．According to the passage, which method is NOT as useful as people think? A．Spaced repetition. B．Self-explanation. C．Active recall. D．Highlighting. 13．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Learning is very difficult for everyone. B．Different learning methods have different effects. C．Highlighting is the best way to learn. D．Scientists don’t know much about learning. 4 Do you know why some old memories stay clear in our minds for many years? Scientists have found an interesting answer. We usually remember moments with strong feelings easily. Happy family time, exciting trips or even sad moments leave deep marks in our brain. That’s why many people can still describe things that happened when they were young. If you want to build good memories, you can try this tip: link new information with your feelings. When you learn new knowledge, try to imagine interesting pictures. You will find it much easier to remember. Some students ask whether old photos can help with memory. The answer is yes. Photos act as good reminders. When you look at a photo, your brain will begin to dig out all the stories behind it. However, memory is not perfect. As time goes by, some small details will slowly disappear. That is why we should try our best to keep our valuable memories. 14．What kind of moments can we remember easily? A．Moments with strong feelings. B．Moments that happen at school. C．Moments without any feelings. D．Moments happening in the evening. 15．What tip does the writer give us to build good memories? A．Sleep for a long time every day. B．Link new information with feelings. C．Write everything down in notebooks. D．Talk with your friends every day. 16．What can photos do according to the passage? A．Stop people from forgetting everything. B．Help us bring back our old memories. C．Record people’s daily food. D．Change people’s bad feelings. 17．What will happen to memory as time passes? A．All memories will disappear at once. B．Some small details may disappear slowly. C．Every memory will stay clear forever. D．Memories will become more and more. 18．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How feelings influence our memory. B．How to take beautiful photos. C．How to take good care of photos. D．How to have a happy family life. 5 Have you ever wondered why some people remember things easily while others forget them quickly? Scientists have been studying memory for many years, and they have found some surprising facts.    First, sleep plays a very important role in memory. When you sleep, your brain works hard to organise and store the information you learned during the day. A study from Harvard University showed that students who slept for eight hours after learning new words remembered 40% more than those who did not sleep well. So, if you want to remember what you studied, do not stay up too late!     Second, exercise is good not only for your body but also for your brain. When you exercise, your heart pumps more blood to your brain. This helps your brain cells grow and connect better. Research has found that students who do physical activities for at least 30 minutes a day perform better in memory tests. Even a short walk can make a difference.      Third, the food you eat also affects your memory. Foods rich in omega-3—such as fish, walnuts and eggs—are especially good for the brain. Blueberries, which are full of antioxidants, have been called "brain berries" because they can help improve short-term memory. On the other hand, eating too much sugar can actually make your memory worse.      Finally, the way you learn matters too. Scientists suggest that it is better to study for short periods with breaks than to study for hours without stopping. This is called “spaced learning.” Also, teaching what you have learned to someone else is a great way to remember it. Studies show that people remember about 90% of what they teach others, but only 10% of what they just read.     So, the next time you find it hard to remember something, try getting more sleep, doing some exercise, eating the right foods, and changing the way you study. Your brain will thank you! 19．According to the passage, what happens when you sleep? A．Your brain organises and stores information. B．Your brain stops working completely. C．You forget everything you learned. D．Your body makes new brain cells. 20．Why are blueberries called “brain berries”? A．They look like a brain. B．They are blue in colour. C．Only smart people eat them. D．They can help improve short-term memory. 21．What does “spaced learning” mean according to the passage? A．Studying in a very quiet space. B．Studying for short periods with breaks. C．Studying the same thing every day. D．Studying many subjects at the same time. 22．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．Eating more sugar can improve your memory. B．Exercise only helps your body, not your brain. C．Teaching others helps you remember better. D．Studying for hours without stopping is the best way. 6 Short-Term and Long-Term Memory Human memory has two main types: short-term memory and long-term memory, and they work in completely different ways. Short-term memory only holds information for a short period, such as a stranger’s phone number you just heard. If you do not repeat or record it, you will run out of this memory quickly within minutes. Long-term memory stores knowledge for months, years or even a whole lifetime. When you connect new facts with things you already know, the brain will move them into long-term memory. Many students fail to tell the difference between the two kinds of memory, so they only do last-minute review for exams. This learning method is inefficient. Memory experts give several practical tips. First, do not learn for too long without breaks. If you study nonstop for hours, your brain will get worn out and you cannot absorb new information well. Second, review knowledge regularly. Every time you go through what you have learned, you strengthen the memory chain in your brain. Third, make full use of all your senses. Drawing mind maps, listening to audio materials and imagining vivid scenes all help form deep memories. Good sleep is also necessary for memory building. While you are asleep, your brain sorts and organizes all the information you took in during the day. People who stay up late every night usually have weak memory, because their brains cannot finish sorting memory materials completely. The two kinds of memory remind us: there is no one-size-fits-all memory method. Only by using scientific strategies and keeping healthy living habits can we turn short-term knowledge into long-term memory. 23．How long can short-term memory keep information without review? A．For several years. B．For a few minutes. C．For one whole year. D．For many months. 24．What can help move information into long-term memory? A．Only reciting texts once. B．Connecting new knowledge with old experience. C．Staying up late to study all night. D．Learning without any rest breaks. 25．What will happen if we study for hours nonstop? A．Our brain will work better. B．New information is hard to absorb. C．We can remember all knowledge clearly. D．Long-term memory will form fast. 26．Why does good sleep help our memory? A．Sleep lets our brain organize daily information. B．Sleep makes us memorize words automatically. C．We can dream of all learning materials at night. D．Sleep replaces all review work for students. 27．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Short-term memory is useless for students. B．The two memory types and scientific ways to improve memory. C．Long-term memory only depends on late-night study. D．We can use one single method to memorize everything. 7 I always told my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years of their life, they learned skills and language so quickly. I had a particularly clear memory of watching my son work out how to play a Lego toy and I told him, “You’re such an architectural (建筑的) genius. Mom is proud of you.” But some research suggests that we should not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do important things. When I first heard about it, I disagreed. But after doing some research, I gradually agreed. It all goes back to “growth mindset”, which means that you can change your abilities through hard work and strategies (策略) . Compared to a “growth mindset”, a “fixed mindset” is the idea that your abilities are inborn and can’t be changed. When we praise our children for being “smart” based on success, like solving a problem or doing well on a test. We’re encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart. And it’s not just what we say about our children’s success that matters—it’s how we tolerate (容忍) their failures. A study led by a scientist named Kyle shows if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be derailed by mistakes. For example, Dr. Kyle explains, your children may have difficulty in solving math problems and you may say something like “Not everyone needs to be good at numbers” as a way to comfort them. But what you’re really doing is suggesting that their math abilities are already set, and can’t be changed. Whatever you say to your kids, it’s about getting them comfortable with failures. Here are some tips from Dr. Kyle. One way is to praise kids’ hard work instead of their intelligence. As Dr. Kyle pointed out, if we praise a kid for a school project he finished in five minutes, he would know our praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questions about how he did it, which can help us know how to praise future hard work. Also, we can talk about our mistakes. We don’t have to hide our negative (消极的) feelings. If we point out our missteps and explain how we insisted, our children can learn to do the same. 28．What did the author believe about praising children’s intelligence at first? A．It should be avoided and changed. B．It was important and encouraged. C．It was harmful to their development. D．It should only be done for great achievements. 29．Why shouldn’t parents always praise children for their intelligence? A．Because it would make children unwilling to try harder. B．Because children would be tired of hearing praise. C．Because children would become overconfident. D．Because it would make children doubt themselves when they do wrong. 30．Which can best replace the underlined word “derailed” in paragraph 3? A．encouraged B．praised C．prevented D．received 31．Which of the following does Dr. Kyle suggest parents should do? A．Hide their negative feelings. B．Work out a solution together with kids. C．Focus on kids’ process of finishing a task. D．Try to avoid talking about their missteps. 8 People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives. Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were. Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die. Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them. Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don’t read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books. 32．We can learn from the second paragraph that ________. A．reading can improve your memory B．reading can make you interesting and attractive C．reading can make you smarter D．reading can reduce stress 33．The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A．the books they are reading B．the directions on a medicine bottle C．the good reading skills D．the words a doctor tells a sick person 34．Some people disagree to read books because they think ________. A．walking in the city also needs reading skills B．driving along the road is dangerous C．reading books is very helpful for our abilities D．reading books just wastes their time 35．The best title of the passage can be ________. A．People Should Enjoy Themselves B．How We Improve Reading Skills C．Why People Should Read Books D．What We Love Doing in Spare Time 9 Nowadays, more and more students are using online resources to help with their learning. Is it a good way? Let’s look at the pros and cons. Pros: 1. Rich Resources: You can find videos, articles, exercises, and even full courses on almost any subject. 2. Convenient: You can learn anytime and anywhere if you have a computer or a smartphone. 3. Personalized Learning: Some apps can find your weak points and give you special exercises. 4. Interactive: Many websites have games, quizzes, and discussion forums to make learning fun. Cons: 1. Distraction: It’s easy to start watching funny videos or playing games instead of studying. 2. Information Overload: There is too much information online. Sometimes it’s hard to know which sources are trustworthy. 3. Less Face-to-face Communication: Learning online alone might reduce chances to practice speaking or work with classmates. 4. Bad for Eyes: Staring at screens for too long can hurt your eyes. So, how can we make good use of online learning? First, set clear goals before you go online. For example, “I will watch one 15-minute math video and finish 10 exercises.” Second, choose good websites or apps that teachers recommend. Third, balance online and offline learning. Don’t forget to read books, discuss with friends, and do experiments in real life. Remember, the Internet is a powerful tool, but you are the one who controls it. 36．What is NOT mentioned as a “pro” of online learning? A．Rich resources. B．It’s very cheap. C．It’s convenient. D．It can be personalized. 37．What does “distraction” in the “Cons” part mean? A．something that helps you focus B．something that takes your attention away C．something that makes you smarter D．something that improves your memory 38．Why is “information overload” a problem? A．Because all information online is wrong. B．Because it’s hard to know which information is good and trustworthy. C．Because it makes the computer very slow. D．Because teachers don’t like it. 39．What is the writer’s advice for using online learning well? A．Never use the Internet for learning. B．Spend all day learning online. C．Set goals, choose good resources, and balance it with offline learning. D．Only use it for playing educational games. 40．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To encourage students to spend more time online. B．To ask students to stop using the Internet. C．To show the good and bad sides of online learning and give advice. D．To introduce the history of online learning. 10 Mindfulness Matters In recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation (冥想), or mindfulness training, into their classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety, control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork. Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation can also help students overcome anxiety. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies. Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous (严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isn’t thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness. Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students. Meditation should be a part of every student’s school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities. 41．Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes? A．To control students’ working memory. B．To reduce students’ stress and anxiety. C．To increase students’ attendance rates. D．To research students’ thoughts and feelings. 42．What can we learn from the passage? A．Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school. B．Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities. C．Students felt more stressed after joining yoga classes three times a week. D．Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice. 43．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To explain why students suffer from anxiety and stress. B．To introduce the results of a study on mindfulness training. C．To show different opinions on introducing meditation into classrooms. D．To advise that mindfulness should be part of students’ school life. 44．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness training B．students will become more talented with mindfulness training C．doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness training D．mindfulness training decides students’ mental and physical health 二、书面表达 1．假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Mary向你请教如何提高记忆力。请你根据以下提示给她写一封回信，提出你的建议。短文需包括以下要点。 注意：1. 词数：80左右 (短文的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数)； 2. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息，否则不予评分。 Dear Mary， I’m glad to give you some advice on how to improve your memory. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!
