A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London, may be of help to you. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoon.The researchers did a study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored on average (平均) 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon.In history, students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, it doesnt work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day.In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention, Dimitrova told The Telegraph.In the afternoon, it seems that this process (过程) slows down. On the other hand, history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion, she said.Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and repetition (重复), and they also need people to be creative. This is perhaps why the time of day has no influence on learning.Time-of-day effects such as those are believed to be connected to 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 out later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults.Dimitrova believes schools should take this chance to improve students performance just by changing their timetables.（1）History is better suitable for the afternoon because _. A . it is an easy subject for students to learnB . we are more creative and open to discussionC . our brains are better and fresher in the afternoonD . its easier to pay more attention to the work we are doing（2）It is believed that the time-of-day effects have something to do with a students _. A . ageB . hobbyC . body clockD . learning habit（3）Dimitrova is sure that _. A . it is better to learn history and math in the morningB . changing timetables properly can improve students performanceC . different times of a day have some influence on learning languagesD . it makes no difference for lower-ability students to learn math in the afternoon（4）What is the main idea of the passage? A . The good advice on managing a school.B . The importance of learning history and math.C . The good ways to get higher scores in history and math.D . The influence of timetables on history and math learning.18. （10分）阅读理解 You dont have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great. I believe it is a normal thought in todays society to just let life happen to us. I also believe that we sometimes destroy（毁灭） our well-planned thoughts about success because its easier to just continue as usual rather than try with the possible failure in mind.Most people never get moving because they dont know what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, its really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your attention may soon disappear and you give up before long.Why not consider whats really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes youve taken .Youll soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be going towards.Knowledge is useless without action. You read many books but your life will stay the same if you dont use the knowledge. Knowledge is fantastic but it will not change your life until it is used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude(积极的态度) towards my life , but I also realize that if I dont set goals to achieve, then I will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it .If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may be best to keep your mouth closed.Do you want to know who you are? Dont ask, Act! Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living up to our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whatever you want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limits(限制）we have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think. It is what we experience when we behave according to the thoughts we have.（1）What will happen if you have the possible failure in your mind? A . You will destroy your well-planned thoughts about success.B . Youll have great pressure and try not to make any mistakes.C . You will try your best and come up with a much better plan.D . Youll put all the opportunities to good use to try your plan.（2）In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to . A . tell us what people need to get successB . show us what people set in their mindC . talk about why people should practiceD . explain why people stop going ahead（3）What does the underlined part a talk the talk person mean in the passage? A . A person who is good at giving talks.B . A person who talks big but does nothing.C . A person who is active in talking.D . A person who is an energetic talker.（4）Which of the following is NOT true of the passage? A . Knowledge is fantastic when its used, or its useless.B . Knowledge is useless without action.C . Success always stops us from succeeding but ourselves.D . Action will tell you who you are.（5）What is the best title for the passage? A . See a Clear Picture of LifeB . Taking Actions Leads to SuccessC . Set Your Goals to AchieveD . Actions Speak Louder than Words19. （10分）阅读理解To save time, many Americans buy foods which can be quickly made ready for the table.

Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called “Bike for a Better City”. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanesfor bicycles onlyon some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. “Bike for a Better City” feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers dont like the ideathey say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets dont like the ideathey say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Parkthe largest open place in New Yorkis closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But “Bike for a Better City” says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.（1）The underlined word “automobiles” in the second paragraph means _.A . carsB . trainsC . planesD . ships（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A .

Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. While we are asleep, our bodies grow most. Children who are tired usually need more sleep. We can get our lessons better and we feel better too when we have a good rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough
