But scientists say taking photos is not always a perfect memory tool. Dr. Harris, a memory researcher, explains: “Taking too many pictures can distract the brain. You get the photo, but you may miss the moment.” It works in two ways. First, when we know a camera will “remember” for us, our brain stops trying. Second, while focusing on the phone—light, angle, filter—we are not really looking at the sea, the friend, or the sunset. For example, if you type a phone number into your phone at once, you are less likely to remember it, because your brain says, “No need to keep it.” But photo-takers need not give up. Here is how to make photos help: • Be a listener, not a photographer. At a family party, let someone else take pictures so you can talk and feel the moment. • Notice details before shooting. Look at the colour of the sky, the smell of the food, the sound in the room. That noticing itself builds memory. • Revisit your photos. A photo helps only when you open the album later and say, “Oh, yes, that was the day Grandma laughed.” 1．What may happen if you take too many photos? A．Your phone will remember everything for you. B．Your brain may remember the moment better. C．You may get photos but miss the real memory. D．You will never forget the sunset. 2．Why are we less likely to remember a number we just typed into a phone? A．Because the phone is too small. B．Because the brain thinks it does not need to keep it. C．Because numbers are always boring. D．Because the battery is low. 3．How many tips does the writer give to make photos helpful? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 4．What does the writer think of taking photos? A．It is useless and should be stopped. B．It is always better than seeing with eyes. C．It can help if we use it in the right way. D．It is only for professional photographers. 5．Which saying best matches the passage? A．A picture is worth a thousand words—always true. B．The best camera is the one you never put down. C．Live the moment; let the photo serve the memory. D．Forget the past and take a new photo every day. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文探讨了拍照与记忆的关系，指出过度拍照可能分散注意力导致错过真实时刻，并提出了让照片辅助记忆的三条建议。 1．细节理解题。第一段指出研究发现：“Taking too many pictures can distract the brain. You get the photo, but you may miss the moment.”，这直接说明拍太多照片可能让你得到照片却错过真实的记忆。 2．细节理解题。第二段说明原因：“if you type a phone number into your phone at once, you are less likely to remember it, because your brain says, ‘No need to keep it.’”，因此我们不太可能记住刚输入手机的电话号码是因为大脑认为不需要保留它。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段起“Here is how to make photos help:”及下方列出的三个要点可推知作者共给出了三条建议。 4．观点态度题。根据第三段“But photo-takers need not give up. Here is how to make photos help:”可推知作者认为正确使用照片是有帮助的。 5．主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第三段“Notice details before shooting.”等建议可推知文章主张体验当下并让照片服务于记忆。 Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to read. He developed a set of raised dots that blind people could feel with their fingers. This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education. Today, there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world. You can also find braille in other places, like on packaging and street signs. Louis Braille’s story is interesting. He was born in France in 1809. Braille had an accident when he was three years old and hurt one of his eyes. At five he went completely blind because of an infection (感染) in both of his eyes. Although Braille was blind, his parents wanted him to have an education, so they sent him to school. Braille could only listen, but he was a clever boy and he learned quickly. At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier who had started working on a system of raised dots. Barbier’s dots did not represent letters; they represented different sounds. Braille worked on the system for three years. Finally, he made the system easier to use and made the dots represent letters, numbers and punctuation marks (标点符号). The system he invented became known as braille. And many people use this awesome reading system today. Now computers and phones can read everything out for blind people, but there is still a need for braille. However, it can be difficult to find teachers who can teach braille. These days many blind children go to the same school as everyone else. It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system. 1．From the first two paragraphs, we know ________. A．how Braille invented his system B．why Braille invented his system C．how important Braille’s invention is D．what Braille experienced in his life 2．Which of the following is TRUE about Louis Braille? A．He was born blind. B．He was a slow learner. C．He met Barbier when he studied in Paris. D．His system was more difficult to use than Barbier’s. 3．The underlined word “awesome” has the closest meaning to “________”. A．humorous B．amazing C．terrible D．impolite 4．What does the writer most agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Braille teachers are needed. B．Listening is more important than reading. C．Blind children shouldn’t go to public schools. D．Computers will take braille’s place completely. 5．The writer wrote this passage to ________. A．tell people to protect their eyes B．encourage children to learn braille C．show the present situation of blind people D．tell people about Braille and his great invention 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了Louis Braille发明盲文的生平故事以及盲文在当今社会的重要性。 1．主旨大意题。根据文章的第一段第一句“Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to read. ”及第二段首句“Today, there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world.”可知，主要讲盲文的发明及其在当今世界的广泛应用，突出了这项发明的重要性。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句“he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier...”点明，他10岁去巴黎新学校时遇到Barbier。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“he made the system easier to use and made the dots represent letters, numbers and punctuation marks”，发明盲文便于使用并且可以代表字母等，并且为后人所熟知和运用，是非常了不起的事情。humorous意为“幽默的”，amazing意为“惊人的”，terrible意为“糟糕的”，impolite意为“粗鲁的”，awesome意为“令人惊叹的、了不起的”，结合语境，与amazing语义相符。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“it can be difficult to find teachers who can teach braille”以及“It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system.”可知，作者认为需要盲文教师。 5．主旨大意题。综合全文，主要介绍Louis Braille的生平以及他发明盲文的伟大贡献。 China is changing and developing very quickly.

Hundreds of students join his month-long free online writing lessons. Besides reading Shakespeare’s plays, he enjoys helping his students learn how to write. Now he is answering his students’ questions in the weekly Q&A section online and offering them some suggestions. How can I make readers understand the characters quickly? [Tip 1] Use clever names. Well, quite often Shakespeare gives information about what a person in a play is like through their names. For example, Romeo’s name means a person being romantic and kind. Benvolio can be nice and friendly. Falstaff is a character in Henry IV and he is lazy and funny. Now think what you can call a person in a play who is angry and hot-tempered all the time? Yes. Maybe Rage or Fury. How can I express my ideas and feelings in a way full of life? [Tip 2] Try metaphors. Shakespeare was a fan of metaphors. A metaphor is a way of comparing one thing with something else to show ideas, feelings, places and more. And the two things usually have the same qualities. In the play As You Like It, he writes, “________” What do you think of the metaphor in this sentence? What should I do if I can’t find a proper word? [Tip 3] Create new words. Eyeball. Lonely. Unreal... All these were created by Shakespeare. If you have an idea that you can’t think of a word for, be like Shakespeare and create your own. If you want to create words that mean something and may stand the test of time, try creating words like this: breakfast + lunch = brunch. And you can start with making up words for everyday things in your home. Do you want to write like Shakespeare? You can put your questions here, or write to Bruce Richmond at bruce4weeksclass@163.com. 1．What can we learn about Bruce Richmond’s writing lessons? A．They last for one week and cost some money. B．Many students take his free online writing classes. C．Students can watch Shakespeare’s plays in the lessons. D．He gives lessons and answers questions at school. 2．What question might Sam ask? A．What’s the most important thing to do to write good plots? B．Why is the language really hard to understand? C．What’s a quick way to make readers understand the characters? D．How are all the details of the play put together? 3．For Tip 2, which of the following best fits the blank? A．Do you not know I am a woman? When I think, I must speak. B．One touch of nature makes the whole world families and relatives. C．A fool thinks he is wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. D．All the world is a stage and all the men and women only players. 4．What might Bruce Richmond suggest to Thomas? A．Make up new words. B．Translate some words. C．Learn new words. D．Look for similar words. 5．The passage is written to ________. A．encourage young students to be kind in their real life B．attract parents to buy Shakespeare’s plays for their children C．teach young students how to write like Shakespeare D．show teachers that writing skills are too hard for the students 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了Bruce Richmond开设免费线上写作课程，在问答板块分享模仿莎士比亚写作的三条写作技巧，教学生写出好作品。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Hundreds of students join his month-long free online writing lessons.”可知很多学生参加他的免费线上写作课。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第一个问题“How can I make readers understand the characters quickly?”可推知Sam的问题和快速让读者理解人物相关。 3．推理判断题。Tip 2讲隐喻（metaphor），根据Tip2的“Try metaphors. A metaphor is a way of comparing one thing with something else to show ideas, feelings, places and more.”可知此处需要填入使用隐喻的句子，D选项“全世界是一个舞台，所有男男女女都是演员”把世界比作舞台，属于隐喻。 4．细节理解题。Tip 3讲创造新词（Eyeball, Lonely, Unreal都是莎士比亚造的词），Thomas的问题是找不到合适的词，建议是创造新词。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文以及末尾“Do you want to write like Shakespeare? You can put your questions here”可知文章目的是教学生像莎士比亚一样写作。 进阶拓展训练5篇 Sunshine Village was once a poor village in Northern China, but now it has changed into a rich and livable place. In the past, people in Sunshine Village had little food and few clothes, but they had a strong wish for a better life. “In the ancient Chinese story, Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work. Why can’t we? Nobody was born to be poor.” The villagers decided to make a difference. They carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. They opened lots of land for growing crops and set up some factories. Their lives were greatly improved. However, the village faced a new problem twenty years later. Pollution was a problem then. The leaders of the village decided to take action to improve the situation. Some polluting factories were shut down. Villagers started to grow grapes and melons. They soon became the main industry in Sunshine Village. The village started a yearly tourism (观光) festival in 2023. Many travelers came to pick grapes and melons. “The grapes and melons could be sold at a better price. As Sunshine Village becomes famous through this festival, we can then live even better lives,” the villagers said with a smile. 1．What does the word “will” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Body. B．Influence. C．Feeling. D．Resolution. 2．What are people in Sunshine Village like? A．Stupid. B．Friendly. C．Hard-working. D．Warm-hearted. 3．What problems did the villagers solve? ① Poor education.   ② Food shortage.   ③ Pollution problems.   ④ Moving mountains. A．①④ B．②④ C．①③ D．②③ 4．Which is the right structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How Yu Gong's story inspired people to work hard in ancient China B．The process of how a poor village turned into a rich one C．Why pollution became a serious problem in Northern China villages D．The benefits of holding a yearly tourism festival for grape picking 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了阳光村曾是中国北方一个贫困村庄，村民缺衣少食，但他们立志改变的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“In the ancient Chinese story, Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work.”可知，愚公移山依靠的是坚强的意志与辛勤的付出，因此“will”的含义是精神力量、意志力，与选项D表述相符。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“They carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. They opened lots of land for growing crops and set up some factories.”，结合后文村民主动解决污染问题、发展特色种植与旅游业的内容，可推知阳光村的村民勤劳肯干，靠双手改变生活。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the past, people in Sunshine Village had little food and few clothes... Their lives were greatly improved.”可知村民解决了食物短缺的问题；根据第3段“Pollution was a problem then. The leaders of the village decided to take action to improve the situation. Some polluting factories were shut down.”可知村民解决了污染问题。文中未提及教育落后的相关内容，移山是愚公故事中的内容，并非村民需要解决的问题，因此②③符合题意。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述阳光村从贫穷变为富裕宜居的整体变化；第二、三、四段按时间顺序，分别讲述了村庄初步脱贫、转型产业解决污染、发展旅游业进一步致富的三个发展阶段，均为分述内容，用以支撑首段的总起表述，因此文章为总分结构，对应A选项的结构图示。 5．主旨大意题。文章开篇总起阳光村由贫困变为富裕宜居村庄，随后按照时间顺序，依次介绍村民克服缺衣少食、治理污染、发展特色种植与旅游产业的全过程。B选项 “一个贫困村庄转变为富裕村庄的过程” 能概括文章主旨。 ①Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, especially for beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing, chemistry has a specialized (专用的) vocabulary. At first, studying chemistry is like learning a new language. Also, some concepts (概念) of chemistry are hard to understand. However, with hard work and careful study, you can finish this subject successfully—and even enjoy it. Here are some suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book. ②Firstly, have classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible, always review the topics you learn in class, and review your notes on the same day. ③Secondly, think carefully about whether you really understand the meaning of a formula (分子式) or the use of an equation (方程式). A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept to a classmate or someone else. ④Thirdly, pay attention to the things which have something to do with chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments in class carefully. Observing (观察) real-life examples makes abstract (抽象的) ideas clearer. ⑤Fourthly, question often and do not be afraid to ask your teacher or classmates for help. Clearing up small confusions (困惑) early prevents bigger problems later. ⑥Chemistry is much more than numbers, formulas and equations. It’s often used in daily life just like maths and physics. Once you fall in love with it, you’ll have lots of fun. Chemistry helps you understand the world around you, from cooking to household safety. 1．Which of the following is a good way to test our understanding of the formula “H2CO3” according to the passage? A．To write it on the blackboard. B．To read it aloud in class. C．To explain it to someone else. D．To ask others the meaning of it. 2．According to the text, which of the following is TRUE? A．Chemistry is used more often than physics. B．Some concepts of chemistry are hard to understand. C．Studying chemistry is like learning our mother language. D．Chemistry is usually thought to be as difficult as other subjects. 3．What is the text mainly about? A．Differences between chemistry and physics. B．The importance of chemistry and physics. C．Why chemistry is hard for beginners. D．How to study chemistry well. 4．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是说明文，先点明人们通常认为化学难学的两点原因，随后给出四条学好化学的具体建议，最后介绍化学在日常生活中的应用价值，鼓励人们培养对化学的兴趣。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第③段“A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept to a classmate or someone else.”可知，检验对化学分子式的理解的好方法是向他人解释相关概念。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第①段“Also, some concepts (概念) of chemistry are hard to understand.”可知，部分化学概念难以理解的表述符合原文内容。 3．主旨大意题。根据文章第①段“Here are some suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book.”，结合后文给出的多条化学学习建议，可知全文围绕如何学好化学展开。 4．篇章结构题。文章第①段为总起部分，介绍化学难学的背景并引出学习建议；第②③④⑤段为分述部分，分别介绍四条具体的化学学习方法，内容并列；第⑥段为总结部分，阐述化学的实用价值。整体为“总-分-总”结构，与选项A的图示匹配。 阅读短文，从每个小题的四个选项中，选出能回答所给问题或完成句子的最佳答案。 Have you ever walked into the kitchen and forgotten why you went there? Don’t worry—your brain is not broken. Scientists call this the “doorway effect”. When you pass through a door, your brain treats the new room as a new situation and clears away the old task. Memory has different levels. Short-term memory holds a phone number for about 15 to 30 seconds. Long-term memory can keep a friend’s face or a favourite song for years. To send information from short to long, the brain needs attention, meaning and review. Interesting studies show that the brain is better at remembering pictures than plain words. That is why mind maps, colour marks and little drawings work so well. Emotions also help: a funny joke, a surprise gift or a scary moment is easier to recall, because feelings “stick” the fact into the brain. Teenagers often think a good memory means “never forgetting”. In fact, a smart memory means knowing how to store, find and reuse knowledge. You can train it: sleep well, review in time, connect new ideas with old ones, and teach what you learn to someone else. So forgetting is not failure. It is just the brain cleaning the desk to make room for what really matters. 1．What happens in the “doorway effect”? A．The brain saves every detail forever. B．The brain clears the old task after entering a new room. C．The brain stops working completely. D．The brain turns words into pictures. 2．How long does short-term memory usually hold information? A．About 15 to 30 seconds. B．Three hours. C．One week. D．A whole lifetime. 3．Which way is NOT mentioned to move information into long-term memory? A．Paying attention. B．Reviewing in time. C．Skipping sleep. D．Connecting new ideas with old ones. 4．Why are pictures easier to remember than words? A．Because the brain likes colours more than meanings. B．Because feelings and images help the brain keep ideas. C．Because words are always boring. D．Because pictures never change. 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．Forgetting means you are not smart. B．A good memory cannot be trained. C．Memory can be understood and improved by good habits. D．Sleep is a waste of study time. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了“门口效应”、记忆的分类及特点、影响记忆的因素以及如何通过良好习惯训练记忆力，旨在帮助读者科学理解记忆机制。 1．细节理解题。第一段“When you pass through a door, your brain treats the new room as a new situation and clears away the old task.”表明穿过门进入新房间后，大脑会清除旧任务。 2．细节理解题。第二段“Short-term memory holds a phone number for about 15 to 30 seconds.”表明短期记忆保存信息大约15至30秒。 3．细节理解题。第二段“To send information from short to long, the brain needs attention, meaning and review.”和第四段“You can train it: sleep well, review in time, connect new ideas with old ones, and teach what you learn to someone else.”表明文中提到集中注意力、及时复习、新旧知识结合，良好睡眠，没有提到跳过睡眠。 4．细节理解题。第三段“Interesting studies show that the brain is better at remembering pictures than plain words…Emotions also help…because feelings “stick” the fact into the brain.”表明图像和情感可以帮助大脑记住信息。 5．主旨大意题。文章讲解记忆相关知识，结合第四段“You can train it...”及第五段“So forgetting is not failure.”可推知，作者旨在说明记忆可以通过好习惯理解和改善。 When we think about scientific achievement, geniuses like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton always come to mind. These people are often crazy about their subjects of interest, choosing their fields of specialty at an early age. But is this always the case? In fact, many of the most important discoveries come from a different kind of mind. Charles Darwin was an aspiring geologist when he sailed to observe faraway lands. He had little knowledge in biology but through his travels, keen observations and great curiosity, he developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. Another such great discovery was the invention of PCR (聚合酶链反应), which is essential for certain kinds of genetic research. Its inventor, Kary Mullis, hardly earned a Ph. D．in biochemistry. His time was spent writing fiction and running a bakery until a friend found him a job in biotechnology, where his great idea for PCR was born. Darwin and Mullis were both natural explorers. Darwin did poorly in school but was always curious about the animals and plants. As a child, Mullis was more interested in the spiders in his grandparents’ basement than anything else. It may not be surprising that these creative minds developed through play and exploration. Many educators argue that the classic model of education, in which teachers lecture and students memorize, is misguided. Most children are born with the drive to play and explore, which helps develop important skills. Probably the thinking skills Darwin and Mullis got were developed through this kind of play and exploration. So, what are schools supposed to do today? They should allow our children to step out of the classroom, and encourage them to play and try new things. As Ni Minjing, head of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, once said, “Every piece of soil, every flower and every clear night sky is a playground for scientific curiosity.” 1．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To introduce the topic. B．To explain the purpose. C．To attract the readers’ attention. D．To provide related situation. 2．Which of the following is true about Darwin and Mullis? A．Mullis got the idea for PCR while working at a bakery. B．Darwin was a great biologist when he began his voyages. C．Darwin was a sharp and curious observer. D．Mullis earned his Ph. D．without difficulty. 3．What is the main contrast between “Einstein and Newton” and “Darwin and Mullis”? A．The former group was more focused on formal education. B．The latter group had a more non-traditional path to discovery. C．The latter group started their fields of specialty at an early age. D．The former group was more successful in scientific achievements. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A．P1总起 →P2-P6并列分述 B．P1总起→P2-P5分述→P6总结 C．P1总起→P2递进→P3-P5并列→P6总结 D．P1总起→P2-P4分述→P5分析→P6建议 5．Which is the best title of the text? A．The Focused Early Years of Geniuses. B．The Success of Non-traditional Teaching. C．Unexpected Geniuses: The Power of Curiosity and Exploration. D．Beyond the Classroom: The Importance of Play. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述并非所有重大科学发现都出自年少就确定专业领域的天才，达尔文和穆利斯依靠好奇心与探索取得成就，由此呼吁学校要鼓励孩子走出课堂、在玩耍与探索中培养科学求知欲。 1．推理判断题。第一段先提到爱因斯坦、牛顿这类年少深耕专业的天才，再用问句“But is this always the case?”引出下文新观点，作用是引出下文关于非传统路径天才的话题。 2．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“through his travels, keen observations and great curiosity, he developed the theory of evolution by natural selection”可知达尔文是敏锐且充满好奇心的观察者。 3．推理判断题。第一段的爱因斯坦、牛顿属于很早就选定专业领域的天才，而达尔文和穆利斯走的是非传统的探索道路，没有早早深耕对应学科却取得重大发现，二者对比是后者有着非传统的发现之路。 4．篇章结构题。P1总起，提出疑问引出话题；P2-P4分别举达尔文、穆利斯两个人物事例进行分述；P5分析这类创造性思维的成因；P6提出学校应该怎么做的建议。 5．最佳标题题。文章核心围绕达尔文、穆里斯这类打破大众固有印象的非传统天才展开，强调好奇心与探索在他们取得科学成就过程中的关键作用，C项精准覆盖全文核心内容。 Chen Honghan is a student from Nizhuhe Village on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou in Southwest China. She used to walk for three hours through high, dangerous mountains to reach school. Her parents were always worried about her safety. Now, thanks to the “cloud school bus”, her trip takes just 30 minutes. The change started in 2017 with a tourism project that built a cable car (缆车) and a lift to the top of the mountain. By 2022, these services were completed and became free for villagers. It was later called the “cloud school bus” because it makes the school journey safer and easier for students like Chen. The school’s headteacher Cui Ying noticed better learning behavior among students as a result. The new project has also brought many tourists to the area. By 2024, Nizhuhe had attracted (吸引) 300,000 visitors, making nearly 20 million yuan. This project has greatly improved the lives of the villagers, with many starting new businesses like coffee shops and hotels. Cai Xiong, who grew up here, helped develop the tourism project. “As a child growing up in the mountains, I never thought it was beautiful. All I saw were rough mountain roads, and I just wanted to run away. But when I returned as an adult, I realized the beauty of the place,” said Cai. “This tourism project is not only meant to improve villagers’ lives, but also to serve as a ‘ladder to the clouds’ for the children.

Most villagers lived on small-scale farming and had limited access to education and healthcare. The roads were rough, and there was no reliable electricity or internet. In 2010, the local government selected Xinhua Village as a pilot for rural revitalization. They invested in building new roads, installing solar panels, and providing high-speed internet. The village also received support to develop organic farming and eco-tourism. Today, Xinhua Village has transformed into a model of sustainable development. The village now has a modern school, a health center, and a community center. Organic products from the village are sold in major cities, and the village has become a popular destination for tourists seeking a peaceful rural experience. The per capita income has more than quadrupled, and many young people have returned to work and live in the village. The success of Xinhua Village has inspired other communities to follow similar paths. It shows that with the right investment and community spirit, rural areas can thrive and offer a high quality of life. 1．What was Xinhua Village like twenty years ago?

They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem is usually with how they study. To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized (有条理的). When you put away a book or memory, you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary (词汇)? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences with this word. Even better, make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is “height”, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 1．In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________. A．they have memory problems B．they are too worried C．they don’t use a proper way D．they don’t like to study 2．Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A．Short-term memory is seldom used. B．What we see goes into long-term memory first. C．We’ll forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D．We’ll never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 3．According to the passage, what can help us find a word in our long-term memory more easily? A．Just reading the word. B．Putting the word in short-term memory. C．Connecting (联系) the word with other words we already know. D．Using activities to make the word’s meaning stronger in long-term memory. 4．Which of the following is an example of “thinking about the word in new ways” mentioned in the passage? A．Learning some grammar. B．Making a list of words with similar meanings. C．Using the word to write a short story. D．Looking up the word in a dictionary. 5．This passage mainly tells us about ________. A．students’ problems in language study B．how to make the meanings of words stronger C．short-term and long-term memory D．how to improve ways to remember words 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文指出语言学习者记不住单词常归咎于记忆问题，实则是学习方法有误。文章先说明记忆分短期和长期两种，信息需进入长期记忆才能长久保留；接着给出记忆单词的方法，如用单词造新句、在脑海中构建相关画面等，这些方法能强化单词在长期记忆中的印象，便于需要时快速提取。 1．细节理解题。根据“In fact, the problem is usually with how they study.”可知，学生记不住单词的原因在于没有使用正确的学习方式。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“When you see, hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory.”可知，短期记忆仅持续几秒，因此很快就会忘记单词。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.”可知，使用活动是思考单词的好方法。它们使单词的意思在你的长期记忆中更加牢固。当你需要一个词的时候，它们会给你一个方法来找到它。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences with this word. Even better, make a picture in your mind with the word.”可知，以新的方式思考单词，你可以用这个单词写新的句子，更好的是，在脑海中勾勒出这个词的画面。选项C“用这个词写一个短篇故事。”属于“用单词写句子”的延伸。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。文章核心围绕如何通过创新方法（如造句、构建画面）将单词从短期记忆转化为长期记忆，从而改进并提升记忆单词的效率，D选项准确概括了这一主题。故选D。 Before you read this article, let’s take a look at a sentence in Chinese: “研表究明，汉字序顺并不定一影阅响读。” Did you notice that some of the characters in this sentence are in the wrong order? You might not realize it, but your brain can read and understand most sentences, even when the words are in the wrong order. This may have something to do with psychology, according to Chen Qingrong from Nanjing Normal University. When we’re first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time, Chen told the Yangtse Evening Post. Also, as experienced readers, we take the things we’re familiar with for granted (把……当做理所当然). We don’t pay as much attention to small details, such as word order. Therefore, when we read the sentence at the beginning of this article, the content was already familiar to us. So we read it the way we think it should be in our memory, with all the words in the right order. This is like when we see a person with long hair, we think the person is a girl without taking a closer look, according to Chen. This can be also seen in many other languages, such as English. Read the following sentence: “This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe.” It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout, rather than the order of the letters, Matt Davis of Cambridge University told The Independent. However, we cannot read scrambled (乱的) sentences as quickly and efficiently as we read normal text, according to The Daily Telegraph. 1．If the words in a sentence are in the wrong order, we may ________. A．still be able to read it B．have trouble understanding it C．correct it immediately D．have to ask others for help 2．According to Chen Qingrong, why doesn’t word order affect experienced readers? A．They read sentences word by word. B．They read in complete phrases or sentences. C．They often pay special attention to small details. D．They are familiar with the wrong order of sentences. 3．The example sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that ________. A．English is different from other languages B．many languages are read in full phrases C．English speakers pay more attention to word order D．English sentences are easier to remember from their shape 4．Paragraph 6 is written to ________. A．show that people care more about sentence shape B．give suggestions on how to remember the meanings of words C．explain why people can understand scrambled English sentences D．stress that the order of the letters in a sentence is not important 5．What is the main idea of the article? A．Words should always appear in the right order. B．We can read and understand scrambled sentences. C．We don’t always pay attention to small details. D．We remember the meanings of words by the order of the letters. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过中英文例句，结合心理学家的解释，说明了人类大脑在阅读时并非逐字处理，而是将词汇作为整体来理解，因此即使词序错乱也能基本读懂句意的现象。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“You might not realize it, but your brain can read and understand most sentences, even when the words are in the wrong order.”可知，即使句中词语顺序错乱，大脑仍能阅读并理解大部分内容。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences.”可知，经验丰富的读者会以短语或整句为单位阅读，因此词序对理解影响不大。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“This can be also seen in many other languages, such as English.”可知，第五段的例句是为了说明英语与其他语言一样，在词序混乱时仍可被理解，从而证明多种语言都可以通过整体短语被阅读。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第六段“It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout, rather than the order of the letters”可知，本段旨在解释人们为何能理解词序错乱的英语句子。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。根据“your brain can read and understand most sentences, even when the words are in the wrong order.”以及文中的中英文例子可知，文章主要讲述的是我们可以阅读并理解顺序被打乱的句子。故选B。 The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. In addition, unlike traditional study methods like reading textbooks or taking notes, it pushes students to be more active in the learning process. If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including subtopics. If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them. The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts. Next, check your explanation and try to find any areas where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader. The fourth step is to improve your explanation using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, you enjoy a nice cup of coffee. 1．How is the Feynman Technique different from traditional study methods? A．It saves students’ study time. B．It allows students to study in groups. C．It encourages students to do active learning. D．It helps students memorize more information. 2．What does the underlined word “indigestible” mean? A．Important. B．Special. C．Enjoyable. D．Difficult. 3．In the third step, you’d better get suggestions from ________. A．your parents B．your teachers C．a 12-year-old girl D．an expert in learning 4．Which of the following is the CORRECT order for the Feynman Technique? ①Pick a topic to learn.                               ②Improve the imperfect part. ③Explain it in the simplest words.                   ④Repeat the steps until you really learn it. ⑤Find the “imperfect part” of your explanation. A．①→③→⑤→②→④ B．①→⑤→②→③→④ C．⑤→②→①→③→④ D．③→⑤→②→④→① 5．Jane wants to improve her study by using the Feynman Technique. According to the text, which may be CORRECT? A．Jane doesn’t decide which subject she wants to study. B．Jane explains the topic clearly to her college classmate. C．Jane tries to explain the topic with difficult professional language. D．Jane finishes her study content and gives herself a piece of cake as a treat. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了由诺贝尔物理学奖得主理查德•费曼提出的费曼学习法，阐述了该学习法相较于传统学习法的优势，同时详细说明了费曼学习法的具体操作步骤。 1．第二段指出费曼学习法和传统学习方式的区别：“unlike traditional study methods like reading textbooks or taking notes, it pushes students to be more active in the learning process”，说明费曼学习法鼓励学生主动学习。 2．根据画线词所在句“This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts”及上文“explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student”“using the simplest and clearest language”可推知，此步骤是把“难以消化的(即难以理解的)”主题分解成最基本的部分，故indigestible意为“难以理解的”，与difficult含义相近。 3．第五段说明建议来源：“get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader”，六年级学生大约12岁，因此可以找12岁女孩获取建议。 4．第三至第六段依次介绍步骤：①选定要学习的主题→③用最简单的语言解释主题→⑤找到解释中不完善的地方→②改进不完善的部分→④重复步骤直到真正学会。 5．最后一段提到：“Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic, it’s time to give yourself a prize”，说明学完知识后可以奖励自己，选项D中的蛋糕符合奖励范畴。 Du Mengran is a Chinese deep sea scientist. Though she looks like a girl next door, her work is amazing. Du has worked at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for twelve years. During this time, she has dived more than 30 times in China’s deep sea submersibles like Fendouzhe. In May this year, she received the China Youth May Fourth Medal for her amazing discoveries in the deep sea. This medal is China’s top honor for young people. In 2024, she led a team to the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, which is over 9,000 meters deep. At 9,533 meters, the team saw something wonderful. The dark seabed was covered with long, red worms, moving like corals. Around them were clams and sea anemones. These deep sea animals survive without sunlight, getting energy from chemicals (化学物质). This discovery was very important. It offered new clues to how life evolved (演化) on Earth. After this success, in 2025, she went to the Puysegur Trench to explore more. The storms there are very strong, with waves as tall as two-story houses. But Du was brave and did not give up. She waited for the quiet times between the storms and kept diving. “When the pilot asked me why I didn’t back down,” Du wrote in her diary, “I said: the deep sea never turns away a visitor. It is just waiting for eyes curious enough to see.” Du has many plans for the future. One is to explore the ocean under the polar (极地的) ice. Whatever challenges lie ahead, she said she would meet them with the belief she has carried for years: “I enjoy living with nature, and it always teaches me something new.” 1．What is Du Mengran’s work mainly about? A．Teaching at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. B．Exploring the deep sea. C．Developing China’s deep sea submersibles. D．Rescuing sea animals. 2．What did Du and her team see in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench? A．Submarines. B．Sunlight. C．Corals. D．Worms. 3．What do the underlined sentences in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．It is simple to explore the deep sea. B．Visitors can not dive into the deep sea. C．Curiosity leads her to explore the deep sea. D．Fear stops her from exploring the deep sea. 4．What’s Du’s plan for the future? A．To teach natural science. B．To research the polar ocean. C．To lead a new science team. D．To challenge the deep sea alone. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A Brave Team Crossing the Storm B．A New Discovery Amazing the World C．A Great Scientist Challenging the Deep D．A Strange Life Living Without Sunlight 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国深海科学家杜梦然的深海探索历程，包括她的深海科研成果、面对恶劣海况不退缩的探索精神，以及未来的极地海洋探索计划，展现了她对深海科研的热爱与坚守。 1．根据第一段中“Du Mengran is a Chinese deep-sea scientist. During this time, she has dived more than 30 times in China’s deep sea submersibles.”可知，杜梦然的主要工作是探索深海。 2．根据第二段中“At 9,533 meters, the team saw something wonderful. The dark seabed was covered with long, red worms, moving like corals.”可知，杜梦然和团队在千岛堪察加海沟看到了蠕虫。 3．根据第三段画线句子“I said: the deep sea never turns away a visitor. ”以及后一句“It is just waiting for eyes curious enough to see.”，再结合杜梦然面对风暴仍坚持下潜的语境，可猜测这句话的含义是好奇心引导她探索深海。 4．根据第四段中“Du has many plans for the future.

But scientists say taking photos is not always a perfect memory tool. Dr. Harris, a memory researcher, explains: “Taking too many pictures can distract the brain. You get the photo, but you may miss the moment.” It works in two ways. First, when we know a camera will “remember” for us, our brain stops trying. Second, while focusing on the phone—light, angle, filter—we are not really looking at the sea, the friend, or the sunset. For example, if you type a phone number into your phone at once, you are less likely to remember it, because your brain says, “No need to keep it.” But photo-takers need not give up. Here is how to make photos help: • Be a listener, not a photographer. At a family party, let someone else take pictures so you can talk and feel the moment. • Notice details before shooting. Look at the colour of the sky, the smell of the food, the sound in the room. That noticing itself builds memory. • Revisit your photos. A photo helps only when you open the album later and say, “Oh, yes, that was the day Grandma laughed.” 1．What may happen if you take too many photos? A．Your phone will remember everything for you. B．Your brain may remember the moment better. C．You may get photos but miss the real memory. D．You will never forget the sunset. 2．Why are we less likely to remember a number we just typed into a phone? A．Because the phone is too small. B．Because the brain thinks it does not need to keep it. C．Because numbers are always boring. D．Because the battery is low. 3．How many tips does the writer give to make photos helpful? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 4．What does the writer think of taking photos? A．It is useless and should be stopped. B．It is always better than seeing with eyes. C．It can help if we use it in the right way. D．It is only for professional photographers. 5．Which saying best matches the passage? A．A picture is worth a thousand words—always true. B．The best camera is the one you never put down. C．Live the moment; let the photo serve the memory. D．Forget the past and take a new photo every day. Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to read. He developed a set of raised dots that blind people could feel with their fingers. This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education. Today, there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world. You can also find braille in other places, like on packaging and street signs. Louis Braille’s story is interesting. He was born in France in 1809. Braille had an accident when he was three years old and hurt one of his eyes. At five he went completely blind because of an infection (感染) in both of his eyes. Although Braille was blind, his parents wanted him to have an education, so they sent him to school. Braille could only listen, but he was a clever boy and he learned quickly. At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier who had started working on a system of raised dots. Barbier’s dots did not represent letters; they represented different sounds. Braille worked on the system for three years. Finally, he made the system easier to use and made the dots represent letters, numbers and punctuation marks (标点符号). The system he invented became known as braille. And many people use this awesome reading system today. Now computers and phones can read everything out for blind people, but there is still a need for braille. However, it can be difficult to find teachers who can teach braille. These days many blind children go to the same school as everyone else. It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system. 1．From the first two paragraphs, we know ________. A．how Braille invented his system B．why Braille invented his system C．how important Braille’s invention is D．what Braille experienced in his life 2．Which of the following is TRUE about Louis Braille? A．He was born blind. B．He was a slow learner. C．He met Barbier when he studied in Paris. D．His system was more difficult to use than Barbier’s. 3．The underlined word “awesome” has the closest meaning to “________”. A．humorous B．amazing C．terrible D．impolite 4．What does the writer most agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Braille teachers are needed. B．Listening is more important than reading. C．Blind children shouldn’t go to public schools. D．Computers will take braille’s place completely. 5．The writer wrote this passage to ________. A．tell people to protect their eyes B．encourage children to learn braille C．show the present situation of blind people D．tell people about Braille and his great invention China is changing and developing very quickly. Many young people from home and abroad are talking about the changes. The following are some ▲ which young people made on a website message board. This is my first year in college, and I finished my studies in Canada. I will go back to China and start my own business. I hope I can do something for the country.—— Carmon, Toronto I am a Chinese student. My hometown used to be very poor. But it has changed a lot now.

Hundreds of students join his month-long free online writing lessons. Besides reading Shakespeare’s plays, he enjoys helping his students learn how to write. Now he is answering his students’ questions in the weekly Q&A section online and offering them some suggestions. How can I make readers understand the characters quickly? [Tip 1] Use clever names. Well, quite often Shakespeare gives information about what a person in a play is like through their names. For example, Romeo’s name means a person being romantic and kind. Benvolio can be nice and friendly. Falstaff is a character in Henry IV and he is lazy and funny. Now think what you can call a person in a play who is angry and hot-tempered all the time? Yes. Maybe Rage or Fury. How can I express my ideas and feelings in a way full of life? [Tip 2] Try metaphors. Shakespeare was a fan of metaphors. A metaphor is a way of comparing one thing with something else to show ideas, feelings, places and more. And the two things usually have the same qualities. In the play As You Like It, he writes, “________” What do you think of the metaphor in this sentence? What should I do if I can’t find a proper word? [Tip 3] Create new words. Eyeball. Lonely. Unreal... All these were created by Shakespeare. If you have an idea that you can’t think of a word for, be like Shakespeare and create your own. If you want to create words that mean something and may stand the test of time, try creating words like this: breakfast + lunch = brunch. And you can start with making up words for everyday things in your home. Do you want to write like Shakespeare? You can put your questions here, or write to Bruce Richmond at bruce4weeksclass@163.com. 1．What can we learn about Bruce Richmond’s writing lessons? A．They last for one week and cost some money.

In the past, people in Sunshine Village had little food and few clothes, but they had a strong wish for a better life. “In the ancient Chinese story, Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work. Why can’t we? Nobody was born to be poor.” The villagers decided to make a difference. They carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. They opened lots of land for growing crops and set up some factories. Their lives were greatly improved. However, the village faced a new problem twenty years later. Pollution was a problem then. The leaders of the village decided to take action to improve the situation. Some polluting factories were shut down. Villagers started to grow grapes and melons. They soon became the main industry in Sunshine Village. The village started a yearly tourism (观光) festival in 2023. Many travelers came to pick grapes and melons. “The grapes and melons could be sold at a better price. As Sunshine Village becomes famous through this festival, we can then live even better lives,” the villagers said with a smile. 1．What does the word “will” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Body. B．Influence. C．Feeling. D．Resolution. 2．What are people in Sunshine Village like? A．Stupid. B．Friendly. C．Hard-working. D．Warm-hearted. 3．What problems did the villagers solve? ① Poor education.   ② Food shortage.   ③ Pollution problems.   ④ Moving mountains. A．①④ B．②④ C．①③ D．②③ 4．Which is the right structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How Yu Gong's story inspired people to work hard in ancient China B．The process of how a poor village turned into a rich one C．Why pollution became a serious problem in Northern China villages D．The benefits of holding a yearly tourism festival for grape picking ①Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, especially for beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing, chemistry has a specialized (专用的) vocabulary. At first, studying chemistry is like learning a new language. Also, some concepts (概念) of chemistry are hard to understand. However, with hard work and careful study, you can finish this subject successfully—and even enjoy it. Here are some suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book. ②Firstly, have classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible, always review the topics you learn in class, and review your notes on the same day. ③Secondly, think carefully about whether you really understand the meaning of a formula (分子式) or the use of an equation (方程式). A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept to a classmate or someone else. ④Thirdly, pay attention to the things which have something to do with chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments in class carefully. Observing (观察) real-life examples makes abstract (抽象的) ideas clearer. ⑤Fourthly, question often and do not be afraid to ask your teacher or classmates for help. Clearing up small confusions (困惑) early prevents bigger problems later. ⑥Chemistry is much more than numbers, formulas and equations. It’s often used in daily life just like maths and physics. Once you fall in love with it, you’ll have lots of fun. Chemistry helps you understand the world around you, from cooking to household safety. 1．Which of the following is a good way to test our understanding of the formula “H2CO3” according to the passage? A．To write it on the blackboard. B．To read it aloud in class. C．To explain it to someone else. D．To ask others the meaning of it. 2．According to the text, which of the following is TRUE? A．Chemistry is used more often than physics. B．Some concepts of chemistry are hard to understand. C．Studying chemistry is like learning our mother language. D．Chemistry is usually thought to be as difficult as other subjects. 3．What is the text mainly about? A．Differences between chemistry and physics. B．The importance of chemistry and physics. C．Why chemistry is hard for beginners. D．How to study chemistry well. 4．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 阅读短文，从每个小题的四个选项中，选出能回答所给问题或完成句子的最佳答案。 Have you ever walked into the kitchen and forgotten why you went there? Don’t worry—your brain is not broken. Scientists call this the “doorway effect”. When you pass through a door, your brain treats the new room as a new situation and clears away the old task. Memory has different levels. Short-term memory holds a phone number for about 15 to 30 seconds. Long-term memory can keep a friend’s face or a favourite song for years. To send information from short to long, the brain needs attention, meaning and review. Interesting studies show that the brain is better at remembering pictures than plain words. That is why mind maps, colour marks and little drawings work so well. Emotions also help: a funny joke, a surprise gift or a scary moment is easier to recall, because feelings “stick” the fact into the brain. Teenagers often think a good memory means “never forgetting”. In fact, a smart memory means knowing how to store, find and reuse knowledge. You can train it: sleep well, review in time, connect new ideas with old ones, and teach what you learn to someone else. So forgetting is not failure. It is just the brain cleaning the desk to make room for what really matters. 1．What happens in the “doorway effect”? A．The brain saves every detail forever. B．The brain clears the old task after entering a new room. C．The brain stops working completely. D．The brain turns words into pictures. 2．How long does short-term memory usually hold information? A．About 15 to 30 seconds. B．Three hours. C．One week. D．A whole lifetime. 3．Which way is NOT mentioned to move information into long-term memory? A．Paying attention. B．Reviewing in time. C．Skipping sleep. D．Connecting new ideas with old ones. 4．Why are pictures easier to remember than words? A．Because the brain likes colours more than meanings. B．Because feelings and images help the brain keep ideas. C．Because words are always boring. D．Because pictures never change. 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．Forgetting means you are not smart. B．A good memory cannot be trained. C．Memory can be understood and improved by good habits. D．Sleep is a waste of study time. When we think about scientific achievement, geniuses like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton always come to mind. These people are often crazy about their subjects of interest, choosing their fields of specialty at an early age. But is this always the case? In fact, many of the most important discoveries come from a different kind of mind. Charles Darwin was an aspiring geologist when he sailed to observe faraway lands. He had little knowledge in biology but through his travels, keen observations and great curiosity, he developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. Another such great discovery was the invention of PCR (聚合酶链反应), which is essential for certain kinds of genetic research. Its inventor, Kary Mullis, hardly earned a Ph. D．in biochemistry. His time was spent writing fiction and running a bakery until a friend found him a job in biotechnology, where his great idea for PCR was born. Darwin and Mullis were both natural explorers. Darwin did poorly in school but was always curious about the animals and plants. As a child, Mullis was more interested in the spiders in his grandparents’ basement than anything else. It may not be surprising that these creative minds developed through play and exploration. Many educators argue that the classic model of education, in which teachers lecture and students memorize, is misguided. Most children are born with the drive to play and explore, which helps develop important skills. Probably the thinking skills Darwin and Mullis got were developed through this kind of play and exploration. So, what are schools supposed to do today? They should allow our children to step out of the classroom, and encourage them to play and try new things. As Ni Minjing, head of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, once said, “Every piece of soil, every flower and every clear night sky is a playground for scientific curiosity.” 1．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To introduce the topic. B．To explain the purpose. C．To attract the readers’ attention. D．To provide related situation. 2．Which of the following is true about Darwin and Mullis? A．Mullis got the idea for PCR while working at a bakery. B．Darwin was a great biologist when he began his voyages. C．Darwin was a sharp and curious observer. D．Mullis earned his Ph. D．without difficulty. 3．What is the main contrast between “Einstein and Newton” and “Darwin and Mullis”? A．The former group was more focused on formal education. B．The latter group had a more non-traditional path to discovery. C．The latter group started their fields of specialty at an early age. D．The former group was more successful in scientific achievements. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? A．P1总起 →P2-P6并列分述 B．P1总起→P2-P5分述→P6总结 C．P1总起→P2递进→P3-P5并列→P6总结 D．P1总起→P2-P4分述→P5分析→P6建议 5．Which is the best title of the text? A．The Focused Early Years of Geniuses. B．The Success of Non-traditional Teaching. C．Unexpected Geniuses: The Power of Curiosity and Exploration. D．Beyond the Classroom: The Importance of Play. Chen Honghan is a student from Nizhuhe Village on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou in Southwest China. She used to walk for three hours through high, dangerous mountains to reach school. Her parents were always worried about her safety. Now, thanks to the “cloud school bus”, her trip takes just 30 minutes. The change started in 2017 with a tourism project that built a cable car (缆车) and a lift to the top of the mountain. By 2022, these services were completed and became free for villagers. It was later called the “cloud school bus” because it makes the school journey safer and easier for students like Chen. The school’s headteacher Cui Ying noticed better learning behavior among students as a result. The new project has also brought many tourists to the area. By 2024, Nizhuhe had attracted (吸引) 300,000 visitors, making nearly 20 million yuan. This project has greatly improved the lives of the villagers, with many starting new businesses like coffee shops and hotels. Cai Xiong, who grew up here, helped develop the tourism project. “As a child growing up in the mountains, I never thought it was beautiful. All I saw were rough mountain roads, and I just wanted to run away. But when I returned as an adult, I realized the beauty of the place,” said Cai. “This tourism project is not only meant to improve villagers’ lives, but also to serve as a ‘ladder to the clouds’ for the children. I hope they will climb this ladder, gain experience and grow, and eventually return with the skills to make their hometown even better,” he said. 1．Why did Chen Honghan’s parents worry about her safety? A．Because the mountain roads to school were dangerous. B．Because the weather was always very bad. C．Because she often took the wrong bus to her school. D．Because she had to walk through busy streets to school. 2．What can we know from Paragraph 3? A．Villagers now work fewer hours on farming than before. B．The village has more visitors and many new businesses. C．Many villagers have moved to big cities to make money. D．Students become tour guides when they are on holidays. 3．Which picture shows the change of Cai Xiong’s attitude (态度) towards the mountains? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the underlined word “ladder” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．Bridge. B．Lamp. C．Door. D．Car. 5．What’s the main idea of this text? A．The great tourism project brought a lot of money to the village. B．The difficult mountain roads here made villagers want to leave. C．The beautiful mountain views attracted many tourists to this area. D．The “cloud school bus” benefits both local education and tourism. 能力综合实践5篇 From a Poor Village to a Model of Rural Revitalization Twenty years ago, Xinhua Village was a poor and isolated community in the mountains. Most villagers lived on small-scale farming and had limited access to education and healthcare. The roads were rough, and there was no reliable electricity or internet. In 2010, the local government selected Xinhua Village as a pilot for rural revitalization. They invested in building new roads, installing solar panels, and providing high-speed internet. The village also received support to develop organic farming and eco-tourism. Today, Xinhua Village has transformed into a model of sustainable development. The village now has a modern school, a health center, and a community center. Organic products from the village are sold in major cities, and the village has become a popular destination for tourists seeking a peaceful rural experience. The per capita income has more than quadrupled, and many young people have returned to work and live in the village. The success of Xinhua Village has inspired other communities to follow similar paths. It shows that with the right investment and community spirit, rural areas can thrive and offer a high quality of life. 1．What was Xinhua Village like twenty years ago? A．It was a modern village with good infrastructure. B．It was a poor and isolated community. C．It was a popular tourist destination. D．It was a large industrial town. 2．When did the local government select Xinhua Village as a pilot for rural revitalization? A．In 2000. B．In 2005. C．In 2010. D．In 2015. 3．What measures did the government take to develop the village? A．They built factories and encouraged heavy industry.

C．Life in rural areas is always better than in cities. D．The government should focus on urban development instead of rural areas. Students who learn languages often think they have memory (记忆) problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem is usually with how they study. To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized (有条理的). When you put away a book or memory, you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary (词汇)? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences with this word. Even better, make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is “height”, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 1．In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________. A．they have memory problems B．they are too worried C．they don’t use a proper way D．they don’t like to study 2．Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A．Short-term memory is seldom used. B．What we see goes into long-term memory first. C．We’ll forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D．We’ll never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 3．According to the passage, what can help us find a word in our long-term memory more easily? A．Just reading the word. B．Putting the word in short-term memory. C．Connecting (联系) the word with other words we already know. D．Using activities to make the word’s meaning stronger in long-term memory. 4．Which of the following is an example of “thinking about the word in new ways” mentioned in the passage? A．Learning some grammar. B．Making a list of words with similar meanings. C．Using the word to write a short story. D．Looking up the word in a dictionary. 5．This passage mainly tells us about ________. A．students’ problems in language study B．how to make the meanings of words stronger C．short-term and long-term memory D．how to improve ways to remember words Before you read this article, let’s take a look at a sentence in Chinese: “研表究明，汉字序顺并不定一影阅响读。” Did you notice that some of the characters in this sentence are in the wrong order? You might not realize it, but your brain can read and understand most sentences, even when the words are in the wrong order. This may have something to do with psychology, according to Chen Qingrong from Nanjing Normal University. When we’re first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time, Chen told the Yangtse Evening Post. Also, as experienced readers, we take the things we’re familiar with for granted (把……当做理所当然). We don’t pay as much attention to small details, such as word order. Therefore, when we read the sentence at the beginning of this article, the content was already familiar to us. So we read it the way we think it should be in our memory, with all the words in the right order. This is like when we see a person with long hair, we think the person is a girl without taking a closer look, according to Chen. This can be also seen in many other languages, such as English. Read the following sentence: “This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe.” It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout, rather than the order of the letters, Matt Davis of Cambridge University told The Independent. However, we cannot read scrambled (乱的) sentences as quickly and efficiently as we read normal text, according to The Daily Telegraph. 1．If the words in a sentence are in the wrong order, we may ________. A．still be able to read it B．have trouble understanding it C．correct it immediately D．have to ask others for help 2．According to Chen Qingrong, why doesn’t word order affect experienced readers? A．They read sentences word by word. B．They read in complete phrases or sentences. C．They often pay special attention to small details. D．They are familiar with the wrong order of sentences. 3．The example sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that ________. A．English is different from other languages B．many languages are read in full phrases C．English speakers pay more attention to word order D．English sentences are easier to remember from their shape 4．Paragraph 6 is written to ________. A．show that people care more about sentence shape B．give suggestions on how to remember the meanings of words C．explain why people can understand scrambled English sentences D．stress that the order of the letters in a sentence is not important 5．What is the main idea of the article? A．Words should always appear in the right order. B．We can read and understand scrambled sentences. C．We don’t always pay attention to small details. D．We remember the meanings of words by the order of the letters. The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. In addition, unlike traditional study methods like reading textbooks or taking notes, it pushes students to be more active in the learning process. If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including subtopics. If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them. The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts. Next, check your explanation and try to find any areas where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader. The fourth step is to improve your explanation using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, you enjoy a nice cup of coffee. 1．How is the Feynman Technique different from traditional study methods? A．It saves students’ study time. B．It allows students to study in groups. C．It encourages students to do active learning. D．It helps students memorize more information. 2．What does the underlined word “indigestible” mean? A．Important. B．Special. C．Enjoyable. D．Difficult. 3．In the third step, you’d better get suggestions from ________. A．your parents B．your teachers C．a 12-year-old girl D．an expert in learning 4．Which of the following is the CORRECT order for the Feynman Technique? ①Pick a topic to learn.                               ②Improve the imperfect part. ③Explain it in the simplest words.                   ④Repeat the steps until you really learn it. ⑤Find the “imperfect part” of your explanation. A．①→③→⑤→②→④ B．①→⑤→②→③→④ C．⑤→②→①→③→④ D．③→⑤→②→④→① 5．Jane wants to improve her study by using the Feynman Technique. According to the text, which may be CORRECT? A．Jane doesn’t decide which subject she wants to study. B．Jane explains the topic clearly to her college classmate. C．Jane tries to explain the topic with difficult professional language. D．Jane finishes her study content and gives herself a piece of cake as a treat. Du Mengran is a Chinese deep sea scientist. Though she looks like a girl next door, her work is amazing. Du has worked at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for twelve years. During this time, she has dived more than 30 times in China’s deep sea submersibles like Fendouzhe. In May this year, she received the China Youth May Fourth Medal for her amazing discoveries in the deep sea. This medal is China’s top honor for young people. In 2024, she led a team to the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, which is over 9,000 meters deep. At 9,533 meters, the team saw something wonderful. The dark seabed was covered with long, red worms, moving like corals. Around them were clams and sea anemones. These deep sea animals survive without sunlight, getting energy from chemicals (化学物质). This discovery was very important. It offered new clues to how life evolved (演化) on Earth. After this success, in 2025, she went to the Puysegur Trench to explore more. The storms there are very strong, with waves as tall as two-story houses. But Du was brave and did not give up. She waited for the quiet times between the storms and kept diving. “When the pilot asked me why I didn’t back down,” Du wrote in her diary, “I said: the deep sea never turns away a visitor. It is just waiting for eyes curious enough to see.” Du has many plans for the future. One is to explore the ocean under the polar (极地的) ice. Whatever challenges lie ahead, she said she would meet them with the belief she has carried for years: “I enjoy living with nature, and it always teaches me something new.” 1．What is Du Mengran’s work mainly about? A．Teaching at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. B．Exploring the deep sea. C．Developing China’s deep sea submersibles. D．Rescuing sea animals. 2．What did Du and her team see in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench? A．Submarines. B．Sunlight. C．Corals. D．Worms. 3．What do the underlined sentences in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．It is simple to explore the deep sea. B．Visitors can not dive into the deep sea. C．Curiosity leads her to explore the deep sea. D．Fear stops her from exploring the deep sea. 4．What’s Du’s plan for the future? A．To teach natural science. B．To research the polar ocean. C．To lead a new science team. D．To challenge the deep sea alone. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．A Brave Team Crossing the Storm B．A New Discovery Amazing the World C．A Great Scientist Challenging the Deep D．A Strange Life Living Without Sunlight 试卷第1页（共3页） 试卷第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
