a. the english teacher asks them to do something useless. b. the english teacher is very kind to them. c. the english teacher should let them study on their own. d. the english teacher tries his best to help them with english.29. according to the text, which of the following is correct?

a. reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching. b. reciting the texts is the best way of learning english. c. the students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them. d. reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying english.d grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. he can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears. one explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, additional(额外的) learning trials(尝试)increase the length(长度) of time we will remember it. in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as cinderella and goldilocks. we not only learn but overlearn. the multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. the law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. by cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. a little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.32.what is the main idea of paragraph i? a. poem reading is a good way to learn words. b. children have a better memory than grown-ups. c. people remember well what they learned in childhood. d. stories for children arc easy to remember.33. the author explains the law of overlearning by_. a. presenting research findings b. using examples c. making a comparison d. setting down general rules34. what does the word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to? a. the multiplication tables. b. commonly accepted rules. c. things easily forgotten. d. school subjects.35. what is the authors opinion on cramming? a. it leads to failure in college exams. b. its possible to result in poor memory. c. its helpful only in a limited way. d. it increases students learning interest. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据每文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 my mother is a diligent and kind woman. she is very busy from morning till night. as a teacher, she works hard. 36 both my brother and i love her dearly as she loves us.my mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. she goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 37 she treats them with patience and teaches them well. for her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times. 38 every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. she seems to be busy all the time. as she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. but she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. 39 she just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. she lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints. often she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. that is the way to be happy and gay. if you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. what a piece of good advice this is! 40 this advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. my mother is great indeed, and i always feel proud of her. a. as a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort b. she loves her students and cares for them. c. she enjoys listening to classic music d. she never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals. e. my mother is hard-working and never wastes money. f. can you tell us something about your mother?
