smarter，not harder：recite as you studyrecitingsaying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. test yourself. this will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. it will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.take fuller notesnotes should be in your own words，brief and clear. they should be tidy and easy to read. writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read，since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.study the middlethe best time to review is soon after youve learned something. you are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson，so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.sleep on itstudy before going to bed，unless you are very tired. its easier to remember material youve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity，because your brain continues to think even after youve fallen asleep.combine memory and understandingthere are two ways to remember：by memorizing and by understanding. multiplication tables(乘法表)，telephone numbers，and math formulas(公式)are better learned by memorizing(记忆).ideas are best learned by understanding.the more ways you have to think about an idea，the more meaning it will have；the more meaningful the learning，the better you can remember it. pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts，and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. if you are not able to follow the thought，go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.21. you can notice your mistakes by .a. taking notesb. studying the middlec. saying things out aloudd. sleeping on it22. when taking notes，you should to better help you with reading.a. underline important notesb. take down every detailc. write as quickly as possibled. write notes in your own words23. which of the following is not helpful for your understanding?a. reading from the beginning to the end without stop.b. thinking about an idea in different ways.c. relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.d. going back to what first made you confused and start again.bmy late(已故的) father was a great believer in reading newspapers the first thing in the morning，a habit he passed down to me.every day，i need news，features and comics，along with the smell of printing ink，with breakfast，even if i have searched the internet earlier in the morning. when i sit down to eat my bread，the newspaper has to be there. when it is late，my wife says i look lost.some need coffee in the morning. i need the newspaper，except when im on vacation. then，i trade the routine for coffee，unless the hotel hangs a newspaper on my door.however，the sword of damocles(达摩克利斯之剑) hangs over my routinea day may come when there wont even be a newspaper. my younger friends insist this is the way newspapers will go. maybe not in five or ten years，maybe it will take 20 years but the future of newspapers is unsure.my younger friends rarely read the print media these days. they want their news either onscreen or in a cool，small package they can take anywhere and read at any time. the ipad and other similar gadgets(小玩意儿) will change our lives，im told. even ebook readers，after a bad start，appear to be back on track because of the ipad.they insist were now in the twilight(衰退期) of the newspaper business and the ipad may help to end it. such a future is not something i like. sure，theres the internet but its just not the same.so heres a little exercise for those who dont want to read the newspapers any more. buy one，find a quiet corner at home and spare an hour without distractions. turn off your mobile phone，tv and pc，and lock up your wife，kids and pets. start reading，from the first page to the last，and all the different sections and advertisements. when you reach the last page，you would have an experience that modern gadgets cannot offer.24. according to the text，the author looks lost when .a. he smells printing ink and breakfastb. the newspaper doesnt come on timec. his father asked him to read newspapersd. he hasnt searched the internet in the morning25. the underlined part “the

with the chinese mainland.the shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers more than twice the length of the english channel tunnel. and the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.a recent conference in xiamen，fujian province brought together more than 70 experts. the event was cosponsored(共同赞助) by universities from taiwan and the chinese mainland.fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.there is direct passenger access between the mainland and taiwan by air or sea at the moment.experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later，although there is a lack of government funding. there are no technical problems to build a taiwan tunnel. but it will require an improved political relationship across the straits(海峡).a professor of tsinghua university said，“a special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction.”“for example，” he said，“the english channel tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. and preparations for the huge three gorges(三峡) dam on the yangtze river began in the 1950s.”the xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route，which would pass jinmen and penghu.the first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometres between xiamen and jinmen. this would mean that traveling from xiamen to jinmen by car would only take five minutes.the longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54kilometre land tunnel to link lyon in france with turin in italy. the tunnel will not be completed until 20152020.28. which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?a. the english channel tunnel.b. the passage doesnt mention it.c. the tunnel between lyon and turin.d. the taiwan straits tunnel.29. the example of the english channel tunnel shows .a. the preparation takes longer time than the constructionb. its not easy to complete a huge projectc. there

tunnel will appear.b. you cant reach taiwan from the mainland directly at present.c. the starting point of the proposed tunnel is in fujian.d. universities both at home and abroad have sponsored the plan.31. what is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?a. the lack of money for the project from the government.b. the detailed plans for the tunnel.c. the technical problems with the tunnel.d. improving the relationship between taiwan and the mainland.dchimpanzees, long considered reluctant to share, apparently can display selfless tendencies, revealing one more key way our closest living relatives are like humans, scientists find. these findings could shed light on the evolution of altruism in humans. previously, a belief was widely held that human altruism evolved only after humans split from their ape cousins about 6 million years ago. in recent years, however, research has revealed just how much chimpanzees have in common with us. they can hunt with spears, play with dolls and mourn their partners death.most of the earlier studies had presented the apes with a complex implement that helped them deliver food to themselves or others, often so complicated that the experiments tested tool skills rather than social tendencies, de waal told live science. ours is the first study that uses no such implement at all.in addition to using complex food-delivery systems, past experiments often placed the chimpanzees so far apart that they might not have realized how their actions benefited others. in these new, simplified experiments, two apes were housed next to each other with a screen through which they could see each other. then, one chimpanzee had to choose between two differently colored tokens (币) from a bin, one of which represented a pro-social (亲社会的) option, the other a selfish option. the pro-social option would cause both chimpanzees to receive a piece of banana wrapped in paper. the selfish option only rewarded the ape who made the choice.in a study with seven adult female chimps placed into various pairs, the scientists found all the apes showed a definite preference for the pro-social option. for me, the most important finding is that like us, chimpanzees take into account the needs and wishes of others, researcher victoria horner, said.the chimpanzees behaved especially altruistically toward partners who either patiently waited or gently reminded them that they were there by drawing attention to themselves. they were less likely to reward partners who pressured through making a fuss, begging persistently or spitting water at them. this is opposite to a long-standing view that the chimpanzees only share food under pressure.32. the word altruism (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to _.a. selfishnessb. willingness c. reluctanced. selflessness33. recent researches are performed with less complicated implements mainly to _.a. see whether chimps are willing to share food with others b. find out if chimps are likely to reward partnersc. test chimps social tendencies instead of tool skills d. show that chimps are only good at using implements 34. what can be learned from the passage?a. chimps are usually unwilling to share.b. it is more likely that chimps will reward partners who give them pressure.c. human altruism evolved only after humans separated from their ape relatives. d. chimps take others needs and wishes into consideration.35. which of the following might be the best title of the passage?a. chimps do show selfless behavior b. evolution history of altruism in humansc. similarities between chimps and mankind d. chimps only share food under pressure第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。how can i fight laziness?lazy people will never amount to anything in life. however, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 36 . many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. these people have little motivation once they arrive home. laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. by adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37 some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. a television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much tv often contributes to laziness. 38 complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. it is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 40 enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.afinally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.b. with strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.c. laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.d. create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.eto fight family laziness, set an example.fknowing how to fight laziness is important.gone way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45）完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。iwas14year
