A recent study shows our brains store faces and names in different areas, which explains why we often recall someone's look but fail to recall their name. Researchers showed volunteers photos of strangers and told them the names. Later they tested recall. Results: faces were remembered about 70% of the time, but names only about 45%. Brain scans showed the face area and the name area “talk” to each other, but the connection is weak. The study suggests a trick: when meeting someone new, repeat the name out loud and link it to a feature of the face (“Tall Tom”, “Red-haired Rachel”). This strengthens the brain link. （ ）41. What does the underlined word “they” (Para 2) refer to? A. The researchers. B. The volunteers. C. Faces and names. D. Strangers' photos. （ ）42. What percentage of names were remembered in the test? A. About 100%. B. About 70%. C. About 45%. D. About 50%. （ ）43. What trick does the passage suggest? A. Take photos of everyone. B. Link the name to a face feature and say it aloud. C. Never forget to write names down. D. Avoid meeting new people. （ ）44. 【篇章结构】What is the structure? (①=Para1, ②=Para2, ③=Para3) A. ①/②/③ B. ①②/③ C. ①/②③ D. ①②③ （ ）45. Where is the text most probably from? A.A novel. B. A travel blog. C. A science magazine. D. A recipe book. B A good night's sleep is not a waste of time — it is when your brain files away memories. During deep sleep, the brain moves information from short-term to long-term storage. Students who sleep 7–9 hours before an exam usually perform better than those who stay up all night. “Cramming (填鸭式学习) without sleep is like saving files but never clicking ‘save’,” one neuroscientist joked. Teenagers especially need more sleep because their brains are still developing. Phones and late-night gaming steal that precious time. （ ）46. When does the brain move info to long-term memory? A. While eating. B. During deep sleep. C. While exercising. D. Right after class. （ ）47. What does the word “cramming” most likely mean? A. Sleeping deeply. B. Playing games. C.Studying a lot in a short time. D. Eating snacks. （ ）48. 【段落主旨】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why sleep helps exam performance. B. How to stop using phones. C. The danger of games. D. How to become a neuroscientist. （ ）49. Who needs more sleep according to the text? A. Teenagers. B. Babies only. C. Old people. D. Teachers. （ ）50. What's the main purpose of the text? A. To sell sleep products. B. To advise students to value sleep for memory. C. To describe brain structure. D. To compare exams. 五、阅读表达 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 A “memory box” project is popular in some schools. Students fill a small box with objects that remind them of a happy moment: a ticket, a shell, a dried flower, a friend's note. Chen Yu made one about her primary-school graduation. Inside was a group photo, a broken eraser her deskmate gave her, and a paper crane. “Whenever I feel down before exams, I open it. It reminds me how far I've come,” she said. Teachers say the project helps students value small happiness and reduce stress. It also trains their descriptive writing when they explain each item. 51.

Here is my advice. First, draw mind maps to connect new words with topics — your brain remembers connections better than single lists. Second, turn words into short rhymes or songs; rhythm helps memory stick. Third, review regularly: read them 20 minutes after learning, then again next morning — “use it or lose it”. Also, use your senses: write words by hand and say them aloud. Try these and you'll see progress. Yours, Li Hua 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
