One mor ing,while I was fishing with Grandpa,my fishing rod suddenly shook."It's Walterl"I cried excitedly.My heart beat fast as I tried to hold the rod tight.However,just when I thought I was about to catch him,he slipped away.I felt as if I had lost something valuable. Seeing I was upset,Grandpa placed his hand on my shoulder and said,"The big ones are never easy to catch.You need patience and a little luck." That night,I could hardly sleep.The next morning,I got up early and returned to the river alone.I remembered every word Grandpa had taught me and waited beside the old tree where Walter liked to hide.After what felt like forever,my rod shook again.This time,after a lot of effort,I finally pulled Walter close enough to hold him. Walter was more beautiful than I imagined,shining silver in the early sunlight.Yet when I lifted him from the v/ater,his bright colour slowly got darker,and his eyes seemed strangely sad. At that moment,I suddenly understood something A.So I gently put Walter back into the river and let him go,but just before he swam off,I thought I saw him smile.

This suggests sugar may be a key factor in limiting memory recovery,"Rehn explained. 46.How does the writer lead into the topic? A.By offering advice. B.By presenting study results.

D.High-sugar diet. 第5页共8页 50.Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

In other words,when you play,it plays back. ②The system is made up of three key parts:the SMART Brick,SMART Tags(智能标签) and SMART Minifigures(智能人仔).The SMART Brick looks just like a normal LEGO Brick, But inside it,there are special sensors().These sensors can sense how kids move,turn and shake brick.SMART Tags are small,flat LEGO pieces.When the SMART Brick is near them,they tell it what model it is in,such as a plane,a car or a house.Then the SMART Brick creates the right sound and light effects.SMART Minifigures are special little LEGO people. When you place them close to the SMART Brick,it makes special sounds and reactions for these characters. 3The system mixes modern technology with kids'rich imagination.For example,a plane built with the new system makes flying sounds when carried around;racing cars create engine noises while they're moving and even crash noises if they turn over.Thanks to SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures,players can have endless new ways to play.Besides,all these SMART parts can work with common LEGO bricks. 4Some experts worry the SMART Play system will hold back kids'imagination,as kids can create sounds and stories by themselves with common LEGO.However,LEGO says the new system brings creativity,technology and storytelling together.It makes building worlds and stories even more fun without a screen. 51.What does the underlined word "them"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Kids. B.SMART Tags.C.Special sensors.D.SMART Minifigures. 52.What do we know about the new system from Paragraph 2?

C.People have different opinions on the new system. D.People need screens to make the new system work well 55.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To introduce the new LEGO product.

Hermann Ebbinghaus was a German scientist studying the mind.He is most well-known for his research on the forgetting curve(遗忘曲线).He wanted to understand more about why we forget things and how to prevent it so he did some research.He himself tried to remember some nonsense syllables(无意义音节)，and finally made the forgetting curve.. The forgetting curve tells a relationship between memory retention and time after you learn something.It shows us that in 20 minutes,people forget about 41.8%of what they have learned,after 1 day,people forget about 66.3%of what they have learned,and after 31 days, people forget about 78.9%of what they have learned.In 20 minutes,people forget things fastest. As time goes by,people forget things much more slowly. Although forgetting is a fact,there are many ways to deal with the problem.For example, you can use active recall.It means you review something in an active and self-directed way with the help of tools such as flashcards or self-tests.Or you can take part in social interactions while reviewing your lessons.You can do hands-on experiments,solve real-world challenges,join online discussions,teach younger children what you have learned and work in small groups to solve problems and share knowledge. 第7页共8页 Just as Confucius said,"If a man keeps reviewing his old knowledge and learning the new ,he may be a teacher of others."Everyone forgets and forgetting is a necessary part of life.It allows us to move on from bad experiences,and it helps us make new memories. 阅读短文，根据短文内容，补全表格中所缺的信息。 温馨提示：只要有大小写、单词拼写、语法等错误，均不给分，每空不超过三个词。 It's disadvantages: Making you have negative 66 ●Wasting your time Making you miss chances Causing you to make mistakes It's secrets: eMemory retention mainly 67 time.
