She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.Dad I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.You know memorizing seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to lean, Even if you dont do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her Science book facing me said, Okay Dad, lets study. I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldnt be too hard on her. So instead we starred with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not other. When she didnt know the answers. I encouraged her to check the book.She started checking things that didnt make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasnt memorizing, she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.（1）Why did Juliet feel down? A . Because she failed her science test.B .

A . patientB . worriedC . nervousD . embarrassed（5）Which can be the best title for the passage? A . A Creative FatherB . An Unexpected TestC . Learning from TeachingD . Preparing for Teaching18. （8分） When we talk about intelligence(智力), we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现), especially in a new situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all can be, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. Probably he isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(看法)on life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it.If you look at children，youll see the great differences between what we call “bright” children and “non-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life, and he tries to get in touch with everything around him; while the unintelligent(不聪明的) child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world: he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.（1）According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to_.A . get some high scores on some testsB . do well in schoolC . deal with lifeD . have a lot of book knowledge（2）In a new situation, an intelligent person_.A . knows more about what might happen to himB . is sure of the result he will getC . cares more about himselfD . keeps his mind on what to do about the situation（3）If an intelligent person failed, he would _.A . try not to feel ashamedB . learn from his mistakesC . try to find all he couldD . make sure what result he would get（4）Bright children and non-bright children_.A . are two different types of childrenB . are different mainly in their degree of clevernessC . have differences only in their way of thinkingD . have different knowledge about the world19. （5分）请仔细阅读5则小短文中的信息，从A到F的信息内容中，选出与各内容相符的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。_Lucy wants to buy a book for her little brother.
