The host explained that our brain works like a library, and the best way to remember something new is to 12______ it with what we already know. Lucy decided to have a try. She began to make mind maps and review her notes 13______ a few days. To her surprise, this simple habit worked.

Researchers studied high school students on a real school day. Some students took a short nap of about twenty minutes before an afternoon lesson; others did not. Then all of them studied the same new material and took a quick test. The result was clear: the students who napped remembered the new lesson better than those who did not. Why does a nap help? Scientists explain that while we sleep, our brain keeps working. It moves the things we just learned from a short-term memory area into a more stable one, so they are not easily forgotten. In other words, a nap gives the brain time to "save" what you have learned. However, the study also found that timing matters. Napping too long can make you feel sleepy and tired after you wake up, which is not helpful. So a short, well-timed nap—around twenty minutes—is the sweet spot. The scientists hope their work will remind schools and students that rest is part of learning, not a waste of time. A good memory is built not only by hard work, but also by taking good care of your brain. 21. What did the students in the study do? A. All of them studied at home.　　B. Some took a short nap before an afternoon lesson.　　C. They took a test before the lesson.　　D. They stayed up late to study. 【答案】B 【解析】由第一段“Some students took a short nap of about twenty minutes before an afternoon lesson”可知，部分学生上课前小睡约20分钟。故选 B。 【考点分析】细节理解题（原文定位）。 22. According to the passage, why can a nap help you remember? A. Because it gives the brain time to save what you learned.　　B. Because it makes you wake up earlier.　　C. Because it makes the lesson more interesting.　　D. Because it makes you study harder. 【答案】A 【解析】由第二段“a nap gives the brain time to 'save' what you have learned”可知，小睡给大脑时间“保存”所学内容。故选 A。 【考点分析】细节理解题（原因定位）。 23. What does the phrase "the sweet spot" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The best time or condition.　　B. A place full of sugar.　　C. A very good restaurant.　　D. The middle of a field. 【答案】A 【解析】结合上下文，第三段说“短且定时的小睡——约20分钟——就是 the sweet spot”，即“最佳时间/最佳状态”。B、C、D 均未按语境理解该短语。故选 A。 【考点分析】词义猜测题（结合语境推断）。 24. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Taking naps wastes study time.　　B. Only hard work can improve memory.　　C. Schools should take rest seriously as part of learning.　　D. Students should not sleep at all during the day. 【答案】C 【解析】最后一段指出“休息是学习的一部分，不是浪费时间”，可推断学校应重视把休息作为学习的一部分。A、B、D 与文意相反或无关。故选 C。 【考点分析】推理判断题。 25. What is the best title for the passage? A. How Short Naps Help You Learn　　B. Why Sleep Is a Waste of Time　　C. How to Plan Your School Day　　D. The Danger of Taking Naps 【答案】A 【解析】全文围绕“短时小睡如何帮助学习”展开（实验、原理、最佳时长），A 最贴切。B、D 与文意相反，C 与主题无关。故选 A。 【考点分析】主旨大意题（标题概括）。 B Many students think that reading their notes again and again is the best way to prepare for a test. But recent research suggests a smarter way: testing yourself. In one new study, teachers made digital flashcards for their students to use at home. Each card had a question on the front and the answer on the back. When a student answered a card, the app recorded whether the answer was right or wrong. The results were striking. The students who used the flashcards were nearly three times more likely to pass the final exam than those who did not use them. They were also more than twice as likely to get the highest grade. Why does this work? When you try to recall an answer and fail, your brain sends a signal that this information is a "gap" that needs fixing. The effort of remembering, even when it feels hard, makes the memory much stronger. This is called the "testing effect." The study is good news for students: you do not need expensive apps or clever technology. A simple list of questions, made by yourself or your teacher, can do the job. The key is to recall the answer before you look at it—not just recognize it. 26. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Reading notes again is not the best way to prepare.　　B. Taking tests is too difficult for students.　　C. Students should read notes ten times.　　D. Teachers should make all the flashcards. 【答案】A 【解析】第一段先提出“很多学生认为反复读笔记是备考的最好方式”，随后转折“研究表明更聪明的方式是自我测试”，说明反复读笔记并非最好方法。故选 A。 【考点分析】段落主旨题。 27. In the study, what happened to the students who used the flashcards? A. They stopped reading their notes.　　B. They were more likely to pass the final exam.　　C. They spent less time studying than before.　　D. They found the tests much easier. 【答案】B 【解析】由第二段“使用闪卡的学生通过期末考试的几率几乎是不使用者的三倍”可知，他们更可能通过期末考试。故选 B。 【考点分析】细节理解题（数据定位）。 28. Why does testing yourself work well? A. Because it is more interesting than reading.　　B. Because it helps you recognize answers quickly.　　C. Because failing to recall makes your brain work to fill the gap.　　D. Because it makes you study longer hours. 【答案】C 【解析】由第三段“当你尝试回忆答案却失败时，大脑会发出信号，说明这是需要填补的‘缺口’，努力回忆会让记忆更牢固”可知。故选 C。 【考点分析】细节理解题（原因定位）。 29. According to the last paragraph, what do you need for this method? A. An expensive app.　　B. A clever computer.　　C. A partner to test you.　　D. A simple list of questions. 【答案】D 【解析】由最后一段“你不需要昂贵的应用程序或高科技，一份简单的问答题清单就能做到”可知。故选 D。 【考点分析】细节理解题。 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Cost of Making Flashcards　　B. Test Yourself to Remember Better　　C. Why Reading Notes Is Enough　　D. How to Use a New App 【答案】B 【解析】全文围绕“自我测试比反复读笔记更能帮助记忆”展开，B“自我测试，记得更牢”最贴切。故选 B。 【考点分析】主旨大意题（标题概括）。 四、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） 用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 31.

The Danger of Taking Naps B Many students think that reading their notes again and again is the best way to prepare for a test. But recent research suggests a smarter way: testing yourself. In one new study, teachers made digital flashcards for their students to use at home. Each card had a question on the front and the answer on the back. When a student answered a card, the app recorded whether the answer was right or wrong. The results were striking. The students who used the flashcards were nearly three times more likely to pass the final exam than those who did not use them. They were also more than twice as likely to get the highest grade. Why does this work? When you try to recall an answer and fail, your brain sends a signal that this information is a "gap" that needs fixing. The effort of remembering, even when it feels hard, makes the memory much stronger. This is called the "testing effect." The study is good news for students: you do not need expensive apps or clever technology. A simple list of questions, made by yourself or your teacher, can do the job. The key is to recall the answer before you look at it—not just recognize it. 26. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Reading notes again is not the best way to prepare. B. Taking tests is too difficult for students. C. Students should read notes ten times. D. Teachers should make all the flashcards. 27. In the study, what happened to the students who used the flashcards? A. They stopped reading their notes. B. They were more likely to pass the final exam. C. They spent less time studying than before. D. They found the tests much easier. 28. Why does testing yourself work well? A. Because it is more interesting than reading. B. Because it helps you recognize answers quickly. C. Because failing to recall makes your brain work to fill the gap. D. Because it makes you study longer hours. 29. According to the last paragraph, what do you need for this method? A. An expensive app. B. A clever computer. C. A partner to test you. D. A simple list of questions. 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Cost of Making Flashcards B. Test Yourself to Remember Better C. Why Reading Notes Is Enough D.
