Walking backwards might be a way to solve this problem. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backwardwalking group got two more, answers correct on average than the other groups.This suggests that the relationship between the concepts(概念) of time and space is important considering how our minds form memories. Time is really expressed via(通过）space,Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told The Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different way compared to walking forward. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can ameliorate our health, according to New Scientist, Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.Besides, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could.be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the Unegon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱） strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.（1）In the experiment, the first group was asked to_. A . walk 10 metres forwardB . walk 10 metres backwardC . keep on moving aroundD . stand in one place（2）The experiment shows that walking backward_. A . puts less tress on our kneesB . helps with the rest of our bodyC . uses more energy in a short time.D . improves the short-term memory（3）The underlined word ameliorate in the passage means_. A . harmB . improveC . controlD . spread（4）According to New Scientist, why is walking backward helpful? A . It helps people remember informationB . It helps people burn more calories.C . It reduces pain in peoples knees and backs.D . It allows people to solve problems in different ways（5）What is the best title for this passage? A . Lets exercise our brainB . Lets do an experimentC . Lets walk backwardD . Lets do more exercise18. （8分）阅读理解 Deep in the forest of southeastern Mexico, scientists found a surprise. They found an ancient pyramid. There were colorful murals (壁画)in it. A mural is a painting on a wall. Those murals are helping scientists unlock a mystery about people who lived in ancient times.The murals are about 1,350 years old. Thats more than five times older than the United States. Scientists say the paintings belonged to the Mayas. That was a group of Native American people. They lived many years ago in what is now Mexico and Central America.Scientists are excited about the discovery because they dont know much about the Mayas daily life, explains Michael Coe, an expert on the Mayas. The paintings show how the Mayas worked, shopped and dined. One mural shows a man drinking from a bowl. Another shows a woman selling food to a crowd of people.Mostly we get the murals that show gods and kings, never anything about the daily life, Coe said. This is like walking into a Maya supermarket. So far, scientists have found more than 30 murals in the pyramid. They are not sure why the Mayas created them. The experts hope to learn more as they continue their search.We never had anything like this before, said Coe. These are really special murals.Scientists learned a lot about the Mayas from the murals. The Mayas were known for more than paintings. Now the murals tell us some fun facts about the Mayan way of life.Sweet HomeThe Mayas lived in what is now Central and North America. Today the area includes parts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.Smart StartsThe Mayas invented a type of Maths. They also created a type of writing that used symbols or pictures. Mayas used bark (树皮)to make books._The Mayas often ate com and used it to make other foods. They grew many crops (庄稼), including beans and sweet potatoes.Cool ClothesMayan men dressed themselves up with some cloth while women wore long dresses. Rich Mayas wore jewelry (珠宝).（1）Which of the following is shown on one of the Mayan murals? A . A Mayan king and his family.B . A Mayan woman selling food.C . A crowd of people drinking water.D . A Mayan man using bark to make books.（2）What can we know according to Michael Coe? A . The murals show gods and kings.B . The Mayas lived in a very hot area of the USAC .

In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers sell their cars all over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油) is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon (加仑) of gasoline.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding (弯曲的) streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines (发动机) that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.Today, Americans car choices are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles (SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.（1）Which of the following does the article lead you to believe? A . Sport utility vehicles are small cars.B . Minivans are becoming less popular.C . European car companies sell many cars in America.D . Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.（2）What does the word “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean? A . having much spaceB . having little spaceC . having a large roomD . having a small room（3）What can we infer (推断) from the article? A . Small cars are better than large cars.B . The price of gasoline is always rising.C . Large cars will always be popular in the United States.D . People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.21. （8分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。DWho is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius(孔子), whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2, 000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution(贡献) to the education today.Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didnt give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he sa
