When he was young, he did not have a natural good memory. He often forgot the content he had read just a few minutes earlier. This brought him lots of trouble in his study, and he felt quite upset about it. Later, Zhang Pu found a useful way to deal with his problem. After reading a passage, he would copy it down word by word carefully. Then he read the copy aloud and burned it. Next, he copied the same passage again and repeated the whole process. He usually did this seven times for each article until he could keep every sentence in mind clearly. His fingers were worn out because of long-time writing. In cold winter, his hands were cracked, but he never gave up. With years of hard work, he improved not only his memory but also his writing skills. In the end, he became a well-known and knowledgeable writer. To remember this special learning method, Zhang Pu named his study “Seven Copying Studio(七录法)”. His story tells us that there is no shortcut to learning. A good memory does not only come from talent, but more from proper methods and continuous effort. 1.What trouble did Zhang Pu have when he was young? A. He was weak in writing articles B. He had a bad natural memory C. He had no books to read D. He couldn’t listen carefully in class 2.The underlined word “cracked”in Paragraph 3 means “______” in Chinese. A. 开裂的 B. 温暖的 C. 敏捷的 D. 光滑的 3.How many times did Zhang Pu usually copy an article to memorize it well? A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8 4.What can we learn from Zhang Pu’s story? A. People with poor memory can never make progress B. Copying books is the only way to improve memory C. Hard work and right methods can help with study D. It is useless to read articles aloud 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. It introduces an ancient Chinese story about diligence and memory improvement B. It tells us how to become a famous writer C. It shows how to name a study properly D. It explains why some people have better memory B Do Fish Have Bad Memories? It’s a common belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think. In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. But there was no clear evidence until the latest findings. Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel close to them — they may remember who you are. 6.What do people usually think about fish’s memory? A. Fish can remember things for only seven seconds B. Fish have better memories than humans C. Fish can remember food locations forever D. Fish forget things after 12 days 7.How long did the researchers wait before putting the fish back into the tank? A. Seven seconds B. Three weeks C. Twelve days D. Several months 8.The underlined word “survive” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______” in Chinese. A. 繁殖 B. 生存 C. 游动 D. 躲避 9.According to the passage, a good memory helps fish ______. A. find safe food areas and stay alive B. change their living places often C. make friends with other fish D. recognize all human beings 10.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Fish are the cleverest animals in the world B. African cichlids are popular pet fish C. Fish have better memories than people used to believe D. How scientists do experiments on fish 第 二 部 分  四.单词拼写 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 1.If you use correct learning skills, you can deal with memory problems more ______ (有效的). 2.Before sending the postcard, please write down the receiver’s name and a______ clearly. 3.There are three short __(段落) in this English reading test, and they are all about memory skills. 4.Could you please point out the exact p______ of the city museum on this map? 5.The reading speed of the whole class can ___ (增加，增长) greatly with enough regular practice. 五. 选词填空（用所给单词的适当形式，每空一词） information，invent，tradition，store，change，quick，time，for，appear，record How do humans keep important events and valuable knowledge? The ways of recording information have 1. greatly over thousands of years. In ancient times, there was no proper writing material. People had to 2. simple symbols on stones or animal bones to mark important events. These early marks were the earliest form of human writing, but they could only carry a small amount of 3. . Besides, carving(雕刻，刻)these marks took plenty of time and hard work. Then, the ancient Chinese 4. paper. This was huge progress in human history. Writing became much lighter and more convenient. However, the 5. way of copying books by hand was still very slow and expensive. Centuries later, printing technology 6. . It allowed people to produce large numbers of books 7. , and knowledge spread faster and wider than ever before. Now we are living in a modern digital age. We have far more advanced ways to 8. data. A small hard disk can hold the content of thousands of books. Electronic products like smartphones, e-readers and cloud services make it easy 9. us to record, save and search for information at any 10. The forms of recording are always developing, but the human wish to keep and pass on knowledge never changes. 六.阅读表达 Amazing Memory in the Animal World Many people think that only humans have good memories, but science has shown that many animals also have amazing memory abilities. Among them, elephants, dolphins and crows（乌鸦）are three excellent examples. Elephants are famous ① their long-lasting memory. They can remember the exact locations of water holes across huge areas, even if they haven’t visited them for ten years or more. This is important for their survival during long dry seasons. They also recognize other elephants and even human beings they met decades ago. Studies have found that elephants can remember friends they were separated from for more than 20 years. Dolphins, the smart animals living in the ocean, also have great memory. Each dolphin has its own special whistle(哨声), just like a human name. Dolphins can remember these unique whistles of their partners for a very long time. Research shows that they can recognize the whistle of a former partner even after 20 years apart. Besides, dolphins can remember past experiences and use that knowledge to solve new problems. Crows may surprise people most with their memory skills. Scientists did an experiment: researchers wore special masks when catching wild crows.Years later, the crows didn't forget. They shouted and flew down to attack(攻击) people in that mask,while they ② no attention to people in other masks. This means crows can remember human faces for at least several years after just one bad experience. Even more surprisingly, crows that never had the bad experience would also join the attack, because the memory can be passed on between crows in a group. Animal memory is not just a simple skill — it is closely connected with their survival and social lives. 1.How many kinds of animals are mentioned as examples in the passage? 2.What is each dolphin’s special whistle like according to the passage? 3.Fill in each blank in the passage with a proper word. ①________ ②________ 4.将文中划线的句子翻译成汉语。 5.Do you think it is meaningful to study the memory abilities of animals? Why or why not? 七.书面表达 假设你是Mary，最近知道了你的笔友李华在英语学习中常常因为记忆力不佳感到苦恼，新学的单词很快就忘记，背诵课文效率很低。而你掌握了很多科学的记忆方法，学习效果很好。请你根据以下提示，给李华写一封电子邮件，提供一些提高记忆力的实用方法。 提示要点： 表明写信目的，简述自己在记忆方面的方法，并给李华2~3 条具体、可操作的记忆方法。 要求： 词数 80~100； 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 邮件的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry to hear that you have difficulty with your English study because of poor memory.

Second, try to memorize words through short passages. It’s easier to remember their meanings in real contexts. Besides, you can divide a text into small parts . I hope these ways can help you out.
