13、If you’ve tried studying when you’re tired, you know that it can seem very impossible to do well.
A study of sleep in sparrows suggests the relationship between sleep and the ability to learn may be more complicated(复杂) than people knew.
Niels C·Rattenborg, a scientist from Wisconsin-Madison, wanted to find out how the sparrows were able to deal with getting so much less sleep. He and his team brought eight wild birds into a lab and watched them for one year. They invented a game to check how well the birds could learn. In the game, the sparrows had to peck(啄)three buttons （按钮）in a right order to get a food treat. The scientists discovered that the birds’ ability to learn the right button order depended on(依靠)two things: the time of year and the amount of sleep the birds had had.
During the migration（迁徙）season, the sparrows were restless at night and got much less sleep than usual. Even so, they were able to understand how to get the food quickly as if they’d had a regular night of sleep. Outside the migration season, they found the sparrows that got less sleep than usual had much more difficulty learning how to get the food treats than birds that had a regular sleep.
The results show that the sparrows can deal with much less sleep during the migration season than usual. If scientists can find out why, they may learn from sparrows and find ways of helping people deal with getting much less sleep. Until scientists fully understand the relationship between sleep and learning, it’s better to get plenty of sleep when preparing for an exam.
1．The passage is mainly about .
A．sparrows’ migration.
B．sleep lessons from Sparrows.
C．how to get less sleep while studying
D．how sparrows that got less sleep get food treats
2．Why can sparrows get much less sleep during the migration season?
A．They eat more.
B．The climate is better
C．They can get food quickly
D．Scientists still don’t know the reason.
3．What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A．We should sleep as little as sparrows do.
B．We should get enough sleep before an exam.
C．When tired, we should try to focus on(聚焦) our study.
D．When tired, we should check how we can sleep less than usual.

14、All our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, but animals live on plants. If there are no plants, we will have no animals and meat. So the soil is necessary for us to live. The top of ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. Plants grow in soil, which has a dark color. This dark soil is humus. Dead leaves, dead plants and animals’ waste make it, but this takes a long time.
When the humus has been made, plants can grow well in it. All soil needs food. If we don’t give it any, the plants will be weak. Animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop should not be grown in the same place every year. It is better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.
When the soil is dry, the wind blows it away. Sometimes heavy rain carries the humus down to a river. People should grow more and more trees and grass to stop wind from carrying the humus away. It takes hundreds of years to make humus, and so we must save every bit of it. Without soil, where can we grow food?
1．From the text, we know people live on _________.
A．animal B．plant C．meat D．soil
2．The word ＂humus＂ means _________ in Chinese.
A．微生物 B．土壤 C．腐殖土 D．粘土
3．We should ________ to keep the soil.
A．give more fertilizers B．kill more animals
C．make more humus D．grow more trees and grass
4．We should save every bit of humus, because _________.
A．it takes a long time to make humus
B．the more humus in the soil, the better plants grow
C．the chemical fertilizers are expensive
D．A and B
5．The best title of this article should be _________.
A．Soil is necessary to people
B．The same crop can’t be grown in the same place every year
C．Soil’s food is chemical fertilizers
D．Humus is hard to mak
C
15、All in the memory…
Many people complain that their memory is bad, especially as they get older. Phone numbers, names, facts we studied only a few days ago – life would be so much easier if we could remember them all effortlessly. So how can we improve our memory?

Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it ca help you to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers (祈祷文) that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.
So what about “memory training”? We’ve all heard about people who can memorize packs of cards by heart—how is this done and can anyone learn how to do it? According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.
Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!
However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun.For those studying large number of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease (疾病), you would ask yourself questions like: “Do people get it from water?”, “What parts of the body does it influence?” and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent “passively” reading and re-reading notes.
1．Which of the following is true about repeating things according to the passage?
A．It helps short-term memory for sure. B．It makes remembering things interesting.
C．It helps to remember things for long. D．It makes remembering prayers effortlessly.
2．The word “chunks” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A．details B．turns C．groups D．lines
3．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Creating a picture is useful in learning math.
B．Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.
C．Remembering long numbers is easy for people.
D．Asking yourself questions activates the memory.
4．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A．To complain that his memory is bad.
B．To recognize some memory problems.
C．To explain some memory experiments.
D．To share some ways of improving memory.

16、 Some students will have no time to relax, while others have no plan for the coming February.
Denial, a high school student, who is going to take part in the college entrance examination, said he had to go to the capital city of Jiangsu Province every weekend.
He has found a new professor who can help him prepare for the exam. His family is not rich, but his parents offer him 800 yuan for each lesson and 200 yuan to
pay for the bus ticket. He said he would try his best to pass the exam next year. Therefore, he has to practice playing the piano 6 hours a day before every lesson.
He said he even thought sleeping was a waste of time. How hard-working he is!
However, not every student has a perfect plan like Denial. His younger sister doesn’t get up until noon. She said holiday was boring because she couldn’t play with
her classmates. That’s why she keeps sleeping for a long time to avoid being bored. What a special reason, isn’t it?
Do you like their holiday plans? If not, why not listen to Aunt Li for advice?
Dear students，
How can you have a wonderful holiday? Both relaxing and studying are very important for you. I suggest you make good use of your time every day and make a plan
before the holiday begins. Two hours’ study is not a long time, right? Don’t spend too much time playing computer games or watching TV. It’s bad for your eyes
and neck. If your parents are free at the weekend, going out for a picnic sounds great.
Have you made up your mind, students?
