Here's something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help：trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study，the more you try while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.
This might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information，they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Don't be too quick to get help when learning something new，” education expert Manu Kapur said. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”
Kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group，students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher's help. In the second group，students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead of getting help from the teacher.
With the teacher's help，students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas.
The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process (过程), not just the solution.
Kapur's advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won't work. ”says Kapur. “Try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible. ”
1．What is the best title for the text?
A. Work Your Mind
B. Practice Makes Perfect
C. The Best Way to Learn
D. Teachers' Role in Schoolwork
答案与解析　A　文章对比了两种学习方法：一种是先思考再求助老师；另一种是老师直接挂念引导。事实证明前一种方法会得到更好的成果。A项“动动脑筋”作标题比较合适。
2．Manu Kapur holds that ________.
A. it's necessary for students to ask for teachers' help
B. students should try to solve problems by themselves
C. students with teachers' help have more good ideas
D. students in the first group are cleverer than those in the second group
答案与解析　B　由第三段可知，Manu Kapur支持B项观点。本题选B项。
3．The author develops the text mainly by ________.
A. presenting research findings
B. comparing different opinions
C. showing scientific information
D. setting down general rules
答案与解析　A　文章在第三、四两段用新加坡的同学分组做了试验，从而得出结论。A项正确。
B

For a 400­year­old art form, operas had a bad fame：overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance, opera goers also have a certain appearance in people's mind: rich, well­dressed and old.
But now opera companies around the country are loosening_their_ties_and_kicking_off_their_shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience. It needs to keep it alive, the young and not­so­rich.
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old­styled theatre or band­breaking ticket prices. And because young people don't or won't come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
The Houston Grand Opera's choice is the public library, where it performs shortened versions (版本) of child­friendly operas. This summer's production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested, while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists' Training Program.
4．Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A. Opera is famous for its long history.
B. Opera is only performed for rich people.
C. Young people aren't interested in opera.
D. Opera companies are trying to keep the opera alive.
答案与解析　D　本文叙述歌剧团为了使歌剧复活而做的各种努力，通读全文后我们不难推断本文的主旨大意。
5．The underlined phrase“loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes” in Para.2 means ________.
A. breaking up the old rules
B. changing the formal suits
C. making the audience at ease
D. advertising themselves
答案与解析　A　从上下文内容推断画线部分的含义其实指的是改革传统做法与风格，以使歌剧平民化，让这种艺术形式为众人所宠爱。
6．Opera companies prefer to perform short versions because ________.
A. it is hard to find long versions
B. short versions are easy to perform
C. they can perform in public libraries
D. they can make more people come to opera
答案与解析　D　最终一段第三句话提到这样做的缘由是可以让人们感爱好，同时抑制票价。
7．The San Francisco Opera Company employs student actors in order to ________.
A. celebrate its 75th anniversary
B. reduce the cost
C. attract young people
D. make Cinderella popular
答案与解析　B　本文最终一段说，这样是为了降低成本，使票价不太贵。
8．From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. the tickets for operas are very expensive
B. operas are performed in a difficult language
C. operas are not so popular an art form today
D. students enjoy performing operas very much
答案与解析　C　既然是为了让歌剧复活做了如此多的改革，而且开头说人们对其名声不看好，那么可以推断它在今日不是太受人们欢迎。
