11、Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）
The first thing you remember

‘I remember , when I was about three, my mother looking at me in my buggy and smiling at me’.
Jan, 13

‘I was maybe four. We were driving to our grandma’s and our car 1 . We couldn’t get out of the car and I cried. A mechanic came to help us.’
Alice, 12

‘I remember I was eating an ice cream when a dog came and took it out of my hand. I cried, I was two , I think.’
Tom,10

‘I remember my first memory is my second birthday. There was a cake with two candles. I couldn’t blow the candles out, so my dad did it for me.’
Mike, 15
Most adults remember little about this that happened in their very early childhood, 2 , some people think that we aren’t really able to form memories before our fourth or fifth birthdays. But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is not true. They say that we do form memories at a very young age. However , what we remember about our very early lives seems to change as we 3 .
Researchers in Canada worked with 140 children aged between four and thirteen. First , they asked their participants to describe their earliest memories. Then they asked them roughly how old they’d been when the event happened . Next, they asked the kids’ parents to make sure that the event actually happened .And all the 4 were written down. The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again, ‘What’s your earliest memory?’
Nearly all the children who were aged between four and seven in the first interview said something very different in the second interview. And when the researchers reminded them of what they’d said the first time, many of the children said, ‘No, that never happened to me. ’However , many of the children who were between ten and thirteen at the first interview described exactly the 5 memory in the second interview. This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years, but that at around the age of ten, the things that we remember get fixed（固定的）.
The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others. We sometimes think that most first or early memories are about very stressful things that happened to us as children , because had thins stand out in our minds. But in this study, stressful events were only a small percentage of what the children said they remembered. More often, their early memories were happy ones. The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case. We expect the researchers will 6 more fascinating things about memories in the near future.

3．A．are pleased B．build confidence C．feel tired D．get older

5．A．unforgettable B．sweet C．same D．short
6．A．imagine B．require C．control D．discover

13、Finally Home
Last year, my parents moved to this town. I had to go to a new school and found no one to be friends with because I wasn’t interested in the topics most of my classmates liked.
“Maybe I’ll never have real friends,” I thought.
I closed my eyes and imagined playing my drums. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a guitar.
I followed the sound and found out that was a band. I recognized the guitar player at my first sight and so did he.
“Hey, you’re Cassie from my class!” his voice surprised me.
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I just haven’t heard any live music in this town before! You sound great—did you guys write that song?”
“Yeah—well, we’re still working on it I’m Matt.” He stood up and held out his hand.
“Mind if I listen in?” I asked in a low voice.
“Not at all,” Matt said, smiling. “Maybe you can give us some suggestions!”
The song was pretty good and I could really improve it with my drum skills. Behind my drum set was the one place I felt completely like myself. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open that door to the world.
“Hey, do you play drums?” Matt asked suddenly.
His question surprised me. How did he know? And then I followed his eyes to my hands, which had been beating a rhythm(节奏) on the floor. I tried to say no, but my heart stopped me from refusing. “Sure, I’ve been playing for a few years,” I said finally.
“Oh, wow! You’ve got to join us!” Matt said. “I have some drums over here.”
I looked at their shiny faces. “Absolutely. I would love to play!” I replied.
“One, two, three, four!” Matt counted and began singing, and I knew I was finally home.

14、Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer!
The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to design(设计) an object on the computer and choose a material(材料) to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses “print”, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer(层) by layer and like magic the object is produced.
The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.
But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think thatcriminalslike them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.
But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!

1．_______ invented the first 3-D printer.
A．Charles Hull B．Dirk Vander Kooj
C．A doctor called Cornell D．Four men in the U.S
2．What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer?
a. Choose a proper material.
b. Press the print button.
c. The 3-D printer spreads the material.
d. Use a computer to design an object.
A．a-b-c-d B．d-a-b-c
C．a-c-d-b D．d-c-ba
3．The underlined word “criminals” in the fourth paragraph might mean ______________ in Chinese.
A．技术员 B．军人 C．罪犯 D．用户
4．According to the passage, people have NOT yet produced _________ with a 3-D printer.
A．some furniture B．a man-made ear
C．ATM skimmers D．a gun
5．What does the writer think of the 3-D printer?
A．It is necessary only for our work.
B．It is helpful but dangerous.
C．It is too expensive for most people.
D．It is useless in our daily life.
C
15、Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork-everything from taking tests to researching a paper.
If your teacher writes notes on the board, that’s bonus: You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points in class. For example, does your history teacher mention the date of the Second World War? Or repeat a piece of information? Write it down! It can take time to learn how to listen to the key information, so keep trying and don’t give up.
If you want to write down every word that’s said in class, you’ll be mad. So it’s necessary to develop your own signs, for example, “pics” for “pictures,” or “hw” for “homework”. They can help you take notes more quickly. And if you pay too much attention to getting your notes right, you might miss listening to what the teacher is saying. Don’t be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If you don’t want to ask in class, see your teacher after class.
It is easy to miss information while taking notes so compare your notes to what the textbooks says—you can add to your notes as you read. Go over your notes with a friend and compare what the two of you have put down. It will make you two be able to notice mistakes and reinforce what you’re learning. It can also help you remember information when it’s time for a test.
Even if you don’t have a test coming up, you’d better look over your notes within 24 hours of taking them. Your brain will start absorbing(吸收) the information while it is still fresh in your mind. Then when you study in the days before a test, you will be able to recall the information much better. Instead of simply reading your notes to yourself, say them aloud. Studies show that speaking aloud helps in memorization. When you speak, try paraphrasing(意译) sometimes rather than reading directly. Paraphrasing and speaking aloud requires your brain to do more work, making it more likely that you will understand what you’re studying.
Good note-taking takes time. But the time you spend writing and reviewing notes pays off. Not only can this help you do better in a test, it’s also a great confidence supporter when you’re studying and find yourself saying, “Hey, I remember that!”
1．If a teacher doesn’t write notes on the blackboard, students should ______.
A．read the textbook and underline the important points

B．Students should try their best to make sure the notes are right in class.
C．Reading the notes aloud can help students find out mistakes in notes.
D．Students need to spend time practising the skills of taking notes.
3．What’s the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A．The ways to review notes. B．The skills of correcting notes.
