A change in the school timetable(课程表) may be the cure.This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.The researchers studied students grade reports, class timetables and absence rates( 缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, there was no sign that similar patterns( 模 式 ) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform( 表 现 ) better at different times of the day. “In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention” Dimitrova told The Telegraph. “In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock.This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students performance just by changing their timetables.（1）In which classes do you learn equations (Paragraph 1) according to the passage? A . MathsB . GeographyC . EnglishD . History（2）According to the new study, . A . afternoon classes lowered students performance in historyB . school timetables have an influence on every subjectC . it was better for students to learn math in the morningD . lower-ability students preferred to start school earlier（3）Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4? A . It shows the importance of studying different subjects at different times of the day.B . It introduces the best time to do things that require memory and creativity.C . It encourages students to change their study methods for better results.D . It explains how school timetables affect peoples study performance.（4）According to Dimitrova, . A . rearranging(重新安排) school timetables is the best way to improve students test scoresB . schools should follow advice from the study and actively change their timetablesC . most schools dont have enough resources to support timetable changesD . schools should think twice before changing their class timetables（5）What is the best title of this passage? A . Time to change the timetable.B . A survey carried out successfully.C . Secrets of learning math and history well.D . Body clocks influence grades.29. （8分）阅读理解Picture the scene: Its midnight. Youre very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldnt, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that late-night eating may affect (影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.”For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received the same amount(数量) of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that, when the mice were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didnt remember.So think twice before the midnight snack it might be bad for more than your weight.（1）What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）?A . Studying for long.B . A nice pie.C . A new study.D . Late-night eating.（2）For the study, the researchers need .A . to check the brains of the mice before the test startedB . to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleepC . to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time .D . to let the mice receive the same amount of sleeep and calories.（3）According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A . A recent study shows late eating affects weight.B . What we eat can affect learning and memory.C . The mice that ate during sleeping hours didnt remember.D . The mice that ate during usual hours didnt remember.（4）Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A . Eating snacks affects memoryB . Late eating hurts brainC . Never stay up lateD . Keep away from snacks30. （10分）阅读理解BStudents want to enjoy themselves when they have got some free timeThey always want to do their favourite thingsSome students like sports，so they may play ball games with their friendsXun Miao is twelve years old and she plays table tennis wellShe is going to play with her friend Gao Xuan in the sports hall this SaturdaySome like a good meal，so they may go to their favourite restaurantsGuan Liang is thirteen years old and he is going to eat out with his classmate Liang Xian tonightThey are neighbours ， on the same floor in a buildingThey both like noodlesSome would like to take a tour in the country and they usually ride their bikes there.Tan Qi is a twelve -year-old boy and lives with his parents in the cityHe often rides to the villages near the city and goes fishing in small rivers根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）How old is XunMiao?
