In the 1980s, Jiang got a chance to work as a translator for foreign guests. The experience led him to become a tour guide. He learned everything he needed on his own and was soon doing a great job. Due to health problems, Jiang left his job. But he didn’t stop learning. He still keeps learning English and often communicates with foreign visitors.

There are a lot of things for you to do to improve your memory. Focus your attention Attention is one of the most important parts of memory. In order to move information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory, you need to actively attend to the information. Try to study in a place without television, music, and games. Remember, set aside a period of time to be alone. Ask your roommates to give you some space so you can focus on your work. Remember important information Have you ever noticed how it is sometimes easier to remember the information at the beginning or the end of a passage? Researchers have found that the order of information can play a role in recalling (回忆起) things. But recalling the middle information can be difficult. You can solve this problem by spending more time remembering this information. Read out loud Researchers have found that reading materials (材料) out loud can improve your memory for the materials. Students can use this way to remember words, sentences and passages. When using this way, you’d better ask others around you for permission or do together. Get a good sleep Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory and learning. Research has shown that taking a short rest after you learn something new can actually help you learn faster and remember better. So the next time you want to learn new information, consider getting a good sleep after your study. 26．Why does the writer say “Ask your roommates to give you some space so you can focus on your work.” in Paragraph 2? A．Because roommates can help to work. B．Because you must finish the work on time. C．Because more space can offer chances. D．Because the quiet place is good for work. 27．If you read a book with five parts, which part is the most difficult for you to recall? A．The first part. B．The third part. C．The first two parts. D．The fifth part. 28．What do the underlined words “this way” refer to? A．Reading out loud. B．Choosing good materials. C．Asking for permission. D．Improving your memory. 29．What do we know from the fifth paragraph? A．You need more time to remember information. B．Learning some new things needs more time. C．A good sleep can help you remember better. D．A short rest is not helpful in learning new things. 30．What is the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． C ①Memory is the ability to remember things. A good memory can help us do better in school, such as language learning. A few people are born with amazing memories, but most people need to improve their memories by practicing. Here are some secrets about memories. ②We can still remember things that happened in our childhood (童年) but not those last week. In fact, if the things have strong connections (联系) with our feelings in our mind, we can remember them longer. When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell us the interesting or funny stories from our childhood again and again. As a result (结果), we remember them much better. ③It’s natural for common people to forget the new words which they learnt yesterday. Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting curve (曲线). According to him, memory is lost the most quickly at the beginning of learning. That means going over what we learned can help us to remember well. ④A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn’t mean his or her memory is getting worse. Our memory is the best at 25 years old. At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. But after this age, the brain starts to get smaller. By middle age, our memory is much worse than when we were young. 31．Why is it easier to remember things in our childhood? a. Because they were special.    b. Because they were helpful. c. Because we heard them many times.    d. Because we got strong feelings from them. A．ad B．cd C．ac D．bc 32．Which of the following sentences is true? A．Nobody has good memories. B．After 25, the brain gets bigger. C．People have the best memory at 25. D．Memory is lost the most quickly at the end of learning. 33．How much information can a 25-year-old remember in a second? A．100 pieces. B．200 pieces. C．20 pieces. D．300 pieces. 34．What is the passage mainly about? A．The ways to improve memories. B．The secrets about memory. C．The introduction of Hermann Ebbinghaus. D．The causes of remembering things better. 35．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题， 每小题1分，共5分） 阅读短文，从所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯，选项中有一项多余。 Your memory plays an important role in your life. It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future. 36 First, it is helpful to live a mentally active life. Make a point of trying new things. For example, you will exercise your brain if you learn to play a new instrument or learn a foreign language. 37 In memory linking, you make mental connections to help you remember things. For example, you can make up a story to link items in a list so that you will remember them. You will be exercising your brain as well as improving your memory! Second, if you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. Healthy eating habits are especially important, and a healthy diet helps maintain a good memory. 38 What’s more, regular physical exercise and getting enough sleep also help improve your memory. Last but not least, it is important to get plenty of rest. Unless you take time to relax, your brain will find it hard to remember things. 39 Everyone has moments of forgetfulness and memory tends to decline with age. 40 However, you can maintain and even improve your memory if you exercise your brain, live a healthy life and make time to relax! A．Besides, if you get too stressed or worried, your memory will become less sharp. B．For example, eating green vegetables, nuts, berries and oily fish can improve your ability to remember things. C．So, how can you improve your memory? D．You can also improve your memory with brain games, such as crosswords, word games and maths puzzles. E．In this way, you are not only training your brain but also having fun. F．Therefore, it is quite normal for people to experience memory loss as they get older. 三、项目情景(共两节,满分20分) 第一节 配对阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 下面的材料A - F是几种记忆方法的介绍。请根据下面对几位同学的描述，帮他们找出适合他们的记忆方法。 A．Repeat things many times     Read the information aloud or think about it in your mind many times. This helps your brain remember things through repetition and makes memory last longer. B．Make a mind map   Draw a mind map by putting the main idea in the center and adding key information around it. It connects ideas to make memorizing easier. C． Use pictures   Turn words into pictures in your mind. For example, imagine a lovely “cat” when remembering the word “cat”. This method can help you recall information faster and make learning more fun. D．Take notes by hand   Write down key points with a pen and paper. Handwriting helps your brain focus and remember things better than typing, so your notes will stay in your mind longer. E. Review (复习) in time   Review what you’ve learned within the first 24 hours. It stops your brain from forgetting new information quickly. You can build stronger long - term memory. F. Break things into parts Divide long or difficult information into small parts. Learn one part at a time and then put them together. This makes hard things easier to remember step by step. 41 Anna finds it boring to remember new English words. She wants to have a method that can help her make learning interesting. 42 Tom forgets new knowledge soon after class. He wants to prevent (防止) quick forgetting and keep memories longer. 43 Lisa feels that memorizing long passages is difficult. She hopes to connect different ideas clearly. 44 John gets distracted (注意力分散的) easily while memorizing things. He is trying to find a useful method to help himself. 45 Peter often can’t recall math formulas (公式) when doing exercises. He needs a way to make the formulas stay in his mind for a long time. 第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 阅读回答问题（不超过10个词） How to Be a Successful Learner Many people think good learners are born with talent. However, success in learning comes from good habits and right attitudes, not natural gifts. To become a successful learner, we need self-motivation (内动力), good time planning, useful learning skills and help from teachers. Above all, self-motivation drives us to keep learning. If we study only for high marks or to make parents happy, we may give up easily when meeting difficulties. But if we feel interested in new knowledge and set our own learning goals, we will keep trying. Learning is like a long race. If we stop moving forward, we will fall behind. Besides, successful learners are good at planning time. They never leave homework until the last minute. They break big tasks into small ones and finish them day by day. They make good use of free time and never put things off. Small daily efforts bring big progress slowly. Next, useful learning skills are also important. Good learners do not do the same work without thinking. They think carefully when reading and take simple notes. More importantly, they look back at their mistakes and find the reasons. Instead of only waiting for ready answers, they learn to solve problems by themselves. What’s more, teachers’ help is of great value. Teachers can find our weak points and give useful advice. When we feel confused and do not know what to do, they can help us find the right way quickly. All in all, anyone can be a successful learner with hard work. If we keep strong self-motivation, plan time well, use proper learning skills and take teachers’ advice, we can make progress all the time. 46．Where does success in learning come from? 47．What will happen if we stop moving forward? 48．How do successful learners deal with big tasks? 49．What do good learners do with mistakes? 50．What helps us make progress all the time? 四、写作（共三节,满分30分） 第一节 语篇填词(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分) 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示，写出所缺单词。填写答案时须写出完整单词。 After a busy month, I decided to i 51 my learning habits.

Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting curve (曲线). According to him, memory is lost the most quickly at the beginning of learning. That means going over what we learned can help us to remember well. ④A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn’t mean his or her memory is getting worse. Our memory is the best at 25 years old. At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. But after this age, the brain starts to get smaller. By middle age, our memory is much worse than when we were young. 31．Why is it easier to remember things in our childhood? a. Because they were special.    b. Because they were helpful. c. Because we heard them many times.    d. Because we got strong feelings from them. A．ad B．cd C．ac D．bc 32．Which of the following sentences is true? A．Nobody has good memories. B．After 25, the brain gets bigger. C．People have the best memory at 25. D．Memory is lost the most quickly at the end of learning. 33．How much information can a 25-year-old remember in a second?

It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future. 36 First, it is helpful to live a mentally active life. Make a point of trying new things. For example, you will exercise your brain if you learn to play a new instrument or learn a foreign language. 37 In memory linking, you make mental connections to help you remember things. For example, you can make up a story to link items in a list so that you will remember them. You will be exercising your brain as well as improving your memory! Second, if you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. Healthy eating habits are especially important, and a healthy diet helps maintain a good memory. 38 What’s more, regular physical exercise and getting enough sleep also help improve your memory. Last but not least, it is important to get plenty of rest. Unless you take time to relax, your brain will find it hard to remember things. 39 Everyone has moments of forgetfulness and memory tends to decline with age. 40 However, you can maintain and even improve your memory if you exercise your brain, live a healthy life and make time to relax! A．Besides, if you get too stressed or worried, your memory will become less sharp. B．For example, eating green vegetables, nuts, berries and oily fish can improve your ability to remember things. C．So, how can you improve your memory? D．You can also improve your memory with brain games, such as crosswords, word games and maths puzzles. E．In this way, you are not only training your brain but also having fun. F．Therefore, it is quite normal for people to experience memory loss as they get older. 三、项目情景(共两节,满分20分) 第一节 配对阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 下面的材料A - F是几种记忆方法的介绍。请根据下面对几位同学的描述，帮他们找出适合他们的记忆方法。 A．Repeat things many times     Read the information aloud or think about it in your mind many times. This helps your brain remember things through repetition and makes memory last longer. B．Make a mind map   Draw a mind map by putting the main idea in the center and adding key information around it. It connects ideas to make memorizing easier. C． Use pictures   Turn words into pictures in your mind. For example, imagine a lovely “cat” when remembering the word “cat”. This method can help you recall information faster and make learning more fun. D．Take notes by hand   Write down key points with a pen and paper. Handwriting helps your brain focus and remember things better than typing, so your notes will stay in your mind longer. E. Review (复习) in time   Review what you’ve learned within the first 24 hours. It stops your brain from forgetting new information quickly. You can build stronger long - term memory. F. Break things into parts Divide long or difficult information into small parts. Learn one part at a time and then put them together. This makes hard things easier to remember step by step. 41 Anna finds it boring to remember new English words. She wants to have a method that can help her make learning interesting. 42 Tom forgets new knowledge soon after class. He wants to prevent (防止) quick forgetting and keep memories longer. 43 Lisa feels that memorizing long passages is difficult. She hopes to connect different ideas clearly. 44 John gets distracted (注意力分散的) easily while memorizing things. He is trying to find a useful method to help himself. 45 Peter often can’t recall math formulas (公式) when doing exercises. He needs a way to make the formulas stay in his mind for a long time. 第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 阅读回答问题（不超过10个词） How to Be a Successful Learner Many people think good learners are born with talent. However, success in learning comes from good habits and right attitudes, not natural gifts. To become a successful learner, we need self-motivation (内动力), good time planning, useful learning skills and help from teachers. Above all, self-motivation drives us to keep learning. If we study only for high marks or to make parents happy, we may give up easily when meeting difficulties. But if we feel interested in new knowledge and set our own learning goals, we will keep trying. Learning is like a long race. If we stop moving forward, we will fall behind. Besides, successful learners are good at planning time. They never leave homework until the last minute. They break big tasks into small ones and finish them day by day. They make good use of free time and never put things off. Small daily efforts bring big progress slowly. Next, useful learning skills are also important. Good learners do not do the same work without thinking. They think carefully when reading and take simple notes. More importantly, they look back at their mistakes and find the reasons. Instead of only waiting for ready answers, they learn to solve problems by themselves. What’s more, teachers’ help is of great value. Teachers can find our weak points and give useful advice. When we feel confused and do not know what to do, they can help us find the right way quickly. All in all, anyone can be a successful learner with hard work. If we keep strong self-motivation, plan time well, use proper learning skills and take teachers’ advice, we can make progress all the time. 46．Where does success in learning come from? 47．What will happen if we stop moving forward? 48．How do successful learners deal with big tasks? 49．What do good learners do with mistakes? 50．What helps us make progress all the time? 四、写作（共三节,满分30分） 第一节 语篇填词(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分) 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示，写出所缺单词。填写答案时须写出完整单词。 After a busy month, I decided to i 51 my learning habits.

There are a lot of things for you to do to improve your memory. Focus your attention Attention is one of the most important parts of memory. In order to move information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory, you need to actively attend to the information. Try to study in a place without television, music, and games. Remember, set aside a period of time to be alone. Ask your roommates to give you some space so you can focus on your work. Remember important information Have you ever noticed how it is sometimes easier to remember the information at the beginning or the end of a passage? Researchers have found that the order of information can play a role in recalling (回忆起) things. But recalling the middle information can be difficult. You can solve this problem by spending more time remembering this information. Read out loud Researchers have found that reading materials (材料) out loud can improve your memory for the materials. Students can use this way to remember words, sentences and passages. When using this way, you’d better ask others around you for permission or do together. Get a good sleep Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory and learning. Research has shown that taking a short rest after you learn something new can actually help you learn faster and remember better. So the next time you want to learn new information, consider getting a good sleep after your study. 26．Why does the writer say “Ask your roommates to give you some space so you can focus on your work.” in Paragraph 2? A．Because roommates can help to work. B．Because you must finish the work on time. C．Because more space can offer chances. D．Because the quiet place is good for work. 27．If you read a book with five parts, which part is the most difficult for you to recall? A．The first part. B．The third part. C．The first two parts. D．The fifth part. 28．What do the underlined words “this way” refer to? A．Reading out loud. B．Choosing good materials. C．Asking for permission. D．Improving your memory. 29．What do we know from the fifth paragraph? A．You need more time to remember information. B．Learning some new things needs more time. C．A good sleep can help you remember better. D．A short rest is not helpful in learning new things. 30．What is the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】26．D 27．B 28．A 29．C 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何提高记忆力的几种方法，包括集中注意力、记住重要信息、大声朗读以及保证良好睡眠。 【详解】26．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Focus your attention”部分“Try to study in a place without television, music, and games. Remember, set aside a period of time to be alone. Ask your roommates to give you some space so you can focus on your work.”可知，作者建议找一个没有电视、音乐和游戏的地方学习，并让室友给自己一些空间，目的是为了创造一个安静的环境，有利于集中注意力学习。因此，选项D“因为安静的地方有利于工作”是正确的。故选D。 27．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Remember important information”部分“Researchers have found that the order of information can play a role in recalling things. But recalling the middle information can be difficult.”可知，研究人员发现信息的顺序对回忆有影响，但回忆中间的信息可能比较困难。因此，如果一本书有五个部分，第三部分（即中间部分）是最难回忆的。故选B。 28．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Read out loud”部分“Researchers have found that reading materials out loud can improve your memory for the materials. Students can use this way to remember words, sentences and passages.”可知，研究人员发现大声朗读材料可以提高对材料的记忆力，学生可以用这种方式记住单词、句子和段落。因此，“this way”指的是“大声朗读”。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Get a good sleep”部分“Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory and learning. Research has shown that taking a short rest after you learn something new can actually help you learn faster and remember better.”可知，研究人员早就知道睡眠对记忆和学习很重要，研究表明在学习新东西后短暂休息可以帮助更快地学习和更好地记忆。因此，选项C“良好的睡眠可以帮助你更好地记忆”是正确的。故选C。 30．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述了有很多方法可以提高记忆力，引出下文；第二段到第五段分别介绍了四种提高记忆力的方法，即集中注意力、记住重要信息、大声朗读以及保证良好睡眠。因此，文章的结构是总-分结构，即第一段为总述，第二段到第五段为分述。选项B“P1/P2P3P4P5”符合这一结构。故选B。 C ①Memory is the ability to remember things. A good memory can help us do better in school, such as language learning. A few people are born with amazing memories, but most people need to improve their memories by practicing. Here are some secrets about memories. ②We can still remember things that happened in our childhood (童年) but not those last week. In fact, if the things have strong connections (联系) with our feelings in our mind, we can remember them longer. When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell us the interesting or funny stories from our childhood again and again. As a result (结果), we remember them much better. ③It’s natural for common people to forget the new words which they learnt yesterday. Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting curve (曲线). According to him, memory is lost the most quickly at the beginning of learning. That means going over what we learned can help us to remember well. ④A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn’t mean his or her memory is getting worse. Our memory is the best at 25 years old. At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. But after this age, the brain starts to get smaller. By middle age, our memory is much worse than when we were young. 31．Why is it easier to remember things in our childhood? a. Because they were special.    b. Because they were helpful. c. Because we heard them many times.    d. Because we got strong feelings from them. A．ad B．cd C．ac D．bc 32．Which of the following sentences is true? A．Nobody has good memories. B．After 25, the brain gets bigger. C．People have the best memory at 25. D．Memory is lost the most quickly at the end of learning. 33．How much information can a 25-year-old remember in a second? A．100 pieces. B．200 pieces. C．20 pieces. D．300 pieces. 34．What is the passage mainly about? A．The ways to improve memories. B．The secrets about memory. C．The introduction of Hermann Ebbinghaus. D．The causes of remembering things better. 35．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．B 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了记忆的秘密，包括儿童时期容易记住事情的原因、遗忘曲线、最佳记忆年龄等。 【详解】31．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell us the interesting or funny stories from our childhood again and again. As a result, we remember them much better.”可知，我们容易记住童年时期的事情是因为我们对此有强烈的感受，以及父母一遍又一遍地讲述，c和d都正确，选B。 32．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Our memory is the best at 25 years old.”可知，人们的记忆力在25岁时最好。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second.”可知，在25岁时，我们每秒能记住多达200条信息。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Here are some secrets about memories.”可知，本文主要介绍了关于记忆的秘密。故选B。 35．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段提出话题“Here are some secrets about memories”；第二段和第三段具体介绍记忆的秘密，包括儿童时期容易记住事情的原因和遗忘曲线；第四段则是对记忆最佳年龄的介绍。由此可知，文章的结构为：①/②③④。故选D。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题， 每小题1分，共5分） 阅读短文，从所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯，选项中有一项多余。 Your memory plays an important role in your life.

For example, you will exercise your brain if you learn to play a new instrument or learn a foreign language. 37 In memory linking, you make mental connections to help you remember things. For example, you can make up a story to link items in a list so that you will remember them. You will be exercising your brain as well as improving your memory! Second, if you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. Healthy eating habits are especially important, and a healthy diet helps maintain a good memory. 38 What’s more, regular physical exercise and getting enough sleep also help improve your memory. Last but not least, it is important to get plenty of rest. Unless you take time to relax, your brain will find it hard to remember things. 39 Everyone has moments of forgetfulness and memory tends to decline with age. 40 However, you can maintain and even improve your memory if you exercise your brain, live a healthy life and make time to relax! A．Besides, if you get too stressed or worried, your memory will become less sharp. B．For example, eating green vegetables, nuts, berries and oily fish can improve your ability to remember things. C．So, how can you improve your memory? D．You can also improve your memory with brain games, such as crosswords, word games and maths puzzles. E．In this way, you are not only training your brain but also having fun. F．Therefore, it is quite normal for people to experience memory loss as they get older. 【答案】36．C 37．D 38．B 39．A 40．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了记忆的重要性，并从多用脑、健康生活、充分休息三方面给出改善记忆力的方法，同时说明随年纪增长记忆力减退是正常现象。 【详解】36．开头介绍了记忆力的重要性，接着用“First”列举具体建议。故用C项“So, how can you improve your memory?”衔接下文。 37．本段主题是过一种脑力活跃的生活。前句提到了学习乐器或外语作为例子，D项“You can also improve your memory with brain games, such as crosswords, word games and maths puzzles”中的“also”表示并列关系，进一步补充了锻炼大脑的具体方式，自然承接。 38．空前一句提到“健康的饮食习惯尤其重要”，B项“For example, eating green vegetables, nuts, berries and oily fish can improve your ability to remember things”，列举了具体的健康食物，是对前文“健康饮食”的举例说明，形成完整表达。 39．倒数第二段强调休息和放松的重要性。空前一句指出不放松大脑很难记忆，A项“Besides, if you get too stressed or worried, your memory will become less sharp”，此外，如果压力太大或担忧，记忆力会变差”从反面进一步论证了放松的必要性，符合推进逻辑。 40．空前一句提到记忆力随年龄增长而下降，空后一句用“However”转折指出可以改善，F项“Therefore, it is quite normal for people to experience memory loss as they get older”是对前文的总结，构成了转折前的铺垫，自然承接。 三、项目情景(共两节,满分20分) 第一节 配对阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 下面的材料A - F是几种记忆方法的介绍。请根据下面对几位同学的描述，帮他们找出适合他们的记忆方法。 A．Repeat things many times     Read the information aloud or think about it in your mind many times. This helps your brain remember things through repetition and makes memory last longer. B．Make a mind map   Draw a mind map by putting the main idea in the center and adding key information around it. It connects ideas to make memorizing easier. C． Use pictures   Turn words into pictures in your mind. For example, imagine a lovely “cat” when remembering the word “cat”. This method can help you recall information faster and make learning more fun. D．Take notes by hand   Write down key points with a pen and paper. Handwriting helps your brain focus and remember things better than typing, so your notes will stay in your mind longer. E. Review (复习) in time   Review what you’ve learned within the first 24 hours. It stops your brain from forgetting new information quickly. You can build stronger long - term memory. F. Break things into parts Divide long or difficult information into small parts. Learn one part at a time and then put them together. This makes hard things easier to remember step by step. 41 Anna finds it boring to remember new English words. She wants to have a method that can help her make learning interesting. 42 Tom forgets new knowledge soon after class. He wants to prevent (防止) quick forgetting and keep memories longer. 43 Lisa feels that memorizing long passages is difficult. She hopes to connect different ideas clearly. 44 John gets distracted (注意力分散的) easily while memorizing things.

However, success in learning comes from good habits and right attitudes, not natural gifts. To become a successful learner, we need self-motivation (内动力), good time planning, useful learning skills and help from teachers. Above all, self-motivation drives us to keep learning. If we study only for high marks or to make parents happy, we may give up easily when meeting difficulties. But if we feel interested in new knowledge and set our own learning goals, we will keep trying. Learning is like a long race. If we stop moving forward, we will fall behind. Besides, successful learners are good at planning time. They never leave homework until the last minute. They break big tasks into small ones and finish them day by day. They make good use of free time and never put things off. Small daily efforts bring big progress slowly. Next, useful learning skills are also important. Good learners do not do the same work without thinking. They think carefully when reading and take simple notes. More importantly, they look back at their mistakes and find the reasons. Instead of only waiting for ready answers, they learn to solve problems by themselves. What’s more, teachers’ help is of great value. Teachers can find our weak points and give useful advice. When we feel confused and do not know what to do, they can help us find the right way quickly. All in all, anyone can be a successful learner with hard work. If we keep strong self-motivation, plan time well, use proper learning skills and take teachers’ advice, we can make progress all the time. 46．Where does success in learning come from? 47．What will happen if we stop moving forward? 48．How do successful learners deal with big tasks? 49．What do good learners do with mistakes? 50．What helps us make progress all the time? 【答案】46．Good habits and right attitudes. 47．We will fall behind. 48．Break big tasks into small ones. 49．Find reasons for mistakes. 50．Self-motivation, skills, time planning and teachers’ advice. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何成为一名成功的学习者。文章指出，学习的成功并非来自天赋，而是源于良好的习惯和正确的态度。作者从自我激励、时间规划、学习技巧以及老师的帮助这四个方面进行了详细阐述。 【详解】46．根据第一段“However, success in learning comes from good habits and right attitudes, not natural gifts.”可知，学习的成功来自于良好的习惯和正确的态度，而不是天赋。因此答案是原文直接信息。 47．根据第二段“If we stop moving forward, we will fall behind.”可知，如果我们停止前进，我们就会落后，答案几乎是原文引述。 48．根据第三段“They break big tasks into small ones and finish them day by day.”可知，他们会把大任务分解成小任务，并一天天完成它们。因此答案是原文直接信息。 49．根据第四段“More importantly, they look back at their mistakes and find the reasons.”可知，好的学习者会回顾他们的错误并找出原因。因此答案是原文直接信息。 50．根据最后一段“If we keep strong self-motivation, plan time well, use proper learning skills and take teachers’ advice, we can make progress all the time.”可知，保持强烈的自我激励、规划好时间、使用适当的学习技巧并听取老师的建议，能让我们一直进步。因此答案是原文直接信息。 四、写作（共三节,满分30分） 第一节 语篇填词(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分) 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示，写出所缺单词。填写答案时须写出完整单词。 After a busy month, I decided to i 51 my learning habits.
