-- Professor, I don't quite understand what you said about linking knowledge.
教授,我不太明白您刚才说的“关联知识”是什么意思。
-- Well, knowledge is like a chain, and new knowledge is best remembered by linking it with old knowledge. The more links you create, the more you remember.
嗯,知识就像一条链条,新知识最好的记忆方式就是把它和旧知识关联起来。你建立的关联越多,记得就越牢。
-- Pay attention to details. Study how they are different from each other. You can also create a picture for each word in your mind.
要注意细节。研究它们彼此之间的不同之处。你也可以在脑海中为每个单词创造一幅画面。
-- Hello, Professor, could you tell me why it is much easier to forget things to buy than to forget how to ride a bike?
您好,教授,能否告诉我为什么忘记要买的东西比忘记如何骑自行车容易得多?
-- That's because riding a bike is a skill. Once you learn it, your body remembers it. Such kind of memory is probably stored in a more stable area of our brain. Scientists are still working on this mystery.
那是因为骑自行车是一项技能。一旦你学会了,你的身体就会记住它。这种记忆可能存储在我们大脑中更稳定的区域。科学家们仍在研究这个谜团。
-- Exactly! And at your age, your brain is developing fast, so put it to good use!
说得太对了!而且你们这个年纪,大脑正发育得很快,可要好好利用起来!

To improve our memory, we can try some useful methods. First, we should 4 a picture in our mind when we learn something new. This helps us remember things better. Second, we need to pay attention to every 5 when we study. Small things often make a big difference.
Besides, we can 6 what we have learned in our own words. This is a great way to turn new 7 into long-term memory. We should also 8 lectures and take notes carefully. A good sleep keeps our memory 9 and helps us think clearly.
Most importantly, we should 10 new words by linking them with what we already know. In this way, our memory will become stronger and stronger.

七、阅读理解
The sun was shining brightly over our heads and sweat (汗水) was pouring down our backs and faces. We stood still without making any noise, all hot and tired. But everyone kept standing as straight as trees.
It was something most junior high schools give to new Junior One students-military (军事的) training. We spent four days in a closed environment. Although we couldn’t go home at night and the training was strict and difficult, our humorous young sergeant (教官) was a real pleasure of our days. We laughed at his jokes, sat in rows singing different songs and listened to him telling true stories about his life. He gave us the feeling that sunlight and sweat were not the only things that military training offered.
After this journey, we were stronger than we had imagined and we were much braver than we had expected. Students who looked pale rested for a little while, then right away came back to the team. Students who were late rushed to the playground at once and began to run. Sweat poured down our faces, but we didn’t care about it at all.
Military training taught us to be brave and strong and never to give up. On the last day of our training, the confidence could be seen on our faces. We shouted so loud that our voices could be heard across the sky. With eyes like burning fire, we walked into the future. Now the sun is smiling at all of us.
1.Although all of the students were ________, everyone kept standing as straight as trees.
A.noisy B.tired C.sleepy
2.How long did the military training last?
A.3 days. B.4 days. C.5 days.
3.What didn’t the students do during the training according to the passage?
A.They sang songs. B.They listened to stories. C.They watched movies.
4.What does the word “it” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Being late. B.Running. C.Sweat pouring.
5.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Our Military Training B.A Humorous Sergeant C.Junior One School Life
八、补全对话
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is believed that a good memory comes naturally, while a bad memory cannot be changed. 1 Here is some advice for you.
▲ Take an interest.
2 This can explain the reason why schoolboys remember football results clearly but have trouble with dates from their history lessons.
▲ Repeat things in chunks(块).
Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time. 3 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in groups or chunks repeatedly and it becomes much easier: 149 217 8919 318 483.
▲ 4
To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments(实验), people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this way. When tested later, they could remember about 90% of them. The test result was really amazing.
▲ Take physical exercise.
Physical exercise is important for your memory, because it sends more oxygen(氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 5 As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory.
A.Invent a story.
B.Putting numbers in groups may help you remember them.
C.Remember a list.
D.Exercise also makes you less stressed.
E.Boys always do better than girls in school.
F.In fact, you can do a lot to improve your memory.
G.We all remember interesting things and always forget boring ones.
九、任务型阅读
阅读下面的材料,根据内容回答问题。
Pound was a famous professor of Law College of Harvard. Although he was 80, he still worked eight hours every day no matter what the weather was like.
His workmate once said, “Though he was old, he kept on walking from his house to the office. It would take him an hour to do so, but he insisted (坚持) because it made him get a sense of success. I admired him. He not only made great achievements in his field, but also came up with creative teaching methods to inspire students.”
One day, a student got out of the professor’s office with a lot of books. He complained (抱怨), “He always answers my questions with just a yes or ①______. At the same time, he always gives me too many books and advises me to read them again and again. I have to spend plenty of time ②______ the answers on my own.”
By accident, the professor knew what the student complained about. He explained to him patiently. “This is the method I have learnt—the harder you work independently, the better solutions you will get. If you can make full use of the books, you will probably become a good lawyer.” He believed “Teaching people to fish is better than giving them fish”.
Ten years later, the student became a well-known lawyer. When he returned to Law College of Harvard, he met the professor again. He thanked the professor. Besides, he gave away many books to Harvard.

Time flies and you may feel down when leaving junior high school. But it may make you feel much 1 (sad)to say goodbye to your teachers and classmates. This 2 (feel) was shared more than 1,000 years ago when Tang Dynasty poet(诗人)Wang Wei had to say goodbye to his friend.
