One powerful method is self-testing.After reading a page,close the book.Try to write down the main points in your own words.If you cannot,you have found a blind spot.This is better than reading the same lines ten times. Another helpful habit is spacing.Do not cram everything into one night.Learn a little on Monday,return to it on Wednesday,and check again on Sunday.Each time you meet the information again,your memory gets stronger. Some learners also use mind maps.They put a central idea in the middle of a page and draw branches for details.Drawing connections between facts helps the brain store them,not as a list,but as a network. Technology can help,but only if used well.A phone app that makes a plan for you is fine.But if the screen just feeds you short videos,your attention breaks.The tool should serve the goal,not replace thinking. Before any study session,ask three questions:What is my target today?Am I really understanding it?What mistake did I make last time?This habit of watching your own thinking is called metacognition.It turns a passive reader into a person who controls the learning. Smart learning is not magic.It is a mix of testing yourself,spacing your reviews, mapping ideas,using tools wisely,and thinking about your own thinking. ()21.What does the writer say about studying for many hours? A.It is the best way to get good marks. B.The number of hours matters less than the way of learning C.Five hours a day is the secret to success. D.Long hours never help. )22.Why is self-testing better than reading the same page many times? A.It saves paper. B.It helps find what you do not really know. C.It is faster. D.It needs no book. ( )23.The word "spacing"in Paragraph 3 most probably means" A.熬夜B.间隔重复 C.抄写 D.画思维导图 )24.According to the passage,how should we use learning apps? A.Let them replace all thinking. B.Use them only for watching short videos. C.Let them serve our study goal,not break our attention. D.Never use them because they are useless. )25.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Students should study five hours a day. B.Smart learning means using better methods,not just studying longer. C.Mind maps are the only useful tool. D.Metacognition is too difficult for middle school students. 4 D In the past few decades,China has been developing at a breathtaking speed,and its changes have surprised the world.26 The most noticeable change is in China's technology.Mobile payment (like Alipay and WeChat Pay)is everywhere.27 High-speed trains are great too.They run fast and arrive on time,helping people travel far in a short time. 28 More people live in big,nice houses.The education system has also made great progress,with a large number of students getting high-quality education.The healthcare system is also better,keeping people healthy.Big cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen have many tall buildings and busy business streets.

Born in Guangdong in March 1926 into a doctor's family,Huang was the third child. He spent his boyhood during the war and later studied shipbuilding at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.After graduating in 1949,he worked in the shipbuilding industy all his life.In 1958,Huang was secretly called to Beijing to join the team designing China's first nuclear submarine.For the next 30 years,he rarely went home. At that time,China had no basic conditions for building nuclear submarines.The researchers knew almost nothing about this field.Worse still,foreign countries kept the technology secret and provided little information. So Huang and his team began by searching newspapers and magazines for useful information.After careful analysis (and study of two US submarine models,they came up with five designs.Without computers,they used abacuses()to do calculations. To make sure the results were correct,they divided into three groups to work on the maths at the same time.If the three values differed,they would redo the work. After years of hard work,China built its first nuclear submarine in 1970,becoming the fifth country to own one. Huang's name remained unknown until 1987,when a Shanghai magazine published a report with only his family name.Even in his 90s,he went to his office every weekday to review materials and give advice to young researchers.In 2019,he received the Medal of the Republic,China's highest honour. 41.Use key words to complete Huang Xuhua's biography. Basic life Born:March 1926 Research experience: ② Studied shipbuilding at Huang Xuhua: Shanghai Jiao Tong University ① Career:Worked in shipbuilding industry Death:Februa1y6th,③ ⑤ Built China's first Honour: ⑥ nuclear submarine in 1970 42.List two difficulties Huang and his team faced when developing the nuclear submarine. ① ② 6 43.How did the researchers ensure their calculation results were correct? 44.What can you learn from Huang Xuhua?(At least 15 words.) 夕 Do you know about the habit of giving praise?Praise means saying good words about someone or something.It can make people feel good.However,many Chinese people are not good at giving praise.They often feel shy when they want to praise others. A study shows that receiving praise is helpful for people's growth.When we get praise, we become more confident and willing to try new things.But praise should be given in a right way.Not all praise works well. Some people give general praise,such as "You are so smart!"This kind of praise focuses on people's nature.Kids who often get this praise may think they are born smart. When they fail,they will feel bad and give up easily.It is better to give specific praise.For example,"You worked really hard on this project."This praise pays attention to one's effort. It tells people that hard work matters.When they meet difficulties,they will keep trying. Besides,praise should be honest.If you praise someone for something he didn't do,he will know you are not sincere.Your praise will lose its meaning. Praise is a gift.Learn to give proper praise to people around you. 45.What does praise mean? 46.How do many Chinese people feel when they want to praise others? 47.What may happen to kids who often get "You are so smart!"? 48.Why should we give specific praise? 49.What's the main idea of the passage? 五、书面表达 假如你校英文报发起了一项以“The Changes in My Hometown”为题的征文活动， 请你根据思维导图，从衣、食、住、行四个方面谈谈你家乡的变化，并畅想家乡未来 的景象。 7 Past:simple,usually black or blue Now:different styles,bright colors <Clothing Past… The Changes Past:mainly vegetarian food Now:...
