7、mory is my second birthday. There was a cake with two candles. I couldnt blow the candles out, so my dad did it for me.Mike, 15Most adults remember little about this that happened in their very early childhood, 2 , some people think that we arent really able to form memories before our fourth or fif

8、th birthdays. But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is not true. They say that we do form memories at a very young age. However , what we remember about our very early lives seems to change as we 3 .Researchers in Canada worked with 140 children aged betwe

9、en four and thirteen. First , they asked their participants to describe their earliest memories. Then they asked them roughly how old theyd been when the event happened . Next, they asked the kids parents to make sure that the event actually happened .And all the 4 were written down. The researchers

10、 waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again, Whats your earliest memory?Nearly all the children who were aged between four and seven in the first interview said something very different in the second interview. And when the researchers reminded them of what theyd

11、 said the first time, many of the children said, No, that never happened to me. However , many of the children who were between ten and thirteen at the first interview described exactly the 5 memory in the second interview. This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years, but that

12、at around the age of ten, the things that we remember get fixed（固定的）.The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others. We sometimes think that most first or early memories are about very stressful things that happened to us as children , becaus

13、e had thins stand out in our minds. But in this study, stressful events were only a small percentage of what the children said they remembered. More often, their early memories were happy ones. The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case. We expect the researchers will 6 more fascina

To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the governments health budget (预

20、算) be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. In fact, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts

21、getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken action for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced die

22、t seems to be quite important.One very effective (有效的) and costless way of prevention is regular (规律的) exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.Health education p

23、lays a key role in improving peoples health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing ones family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information abou

24、t health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention

25、and treatment are just two different ways toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.1Whats the best title of the passage?APrevention or Education BPrevention or Tr

26、eatmentCHealth or Illness DExercise or Illness2Which of the following can replace (替代) the underlined word bankrupt?Aunable to be cured Bunable to pay ones debts (债务)Cstronger than ever before Dmore successful than ever before3We learn from the passage that _.Adressing warmly can prevent diseasesBa

CP (Central Point) P (Point) Sp (Sub-point次要点) C (Conclusion) A B C DB14、How do students spend their

28、spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Heres a good example.Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters, 11-year-old Amy and 9-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the UK aft

29、er they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.Tim and Kerry didnt want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they s

30、et 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr and Mrs Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters.Every holiday and weekend, whether its sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including

31、 hiking, sailing, climbing and skiing. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are har

32、mful to their health. Luckily, weve had the chance to experience something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.1Why did the Meeks become the focus of attention in the UK?ABecause Mr and Mrs Meek took part in the activities to

33、encourage their daughters.BBecause the children are good examples of finishing their homework.CBecause watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted at their home.DBecause they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.2Whats the meaning of “couch tomatoes” in paragraph thre

34、e?AThe people who like outdoor activities.BThe people who like indoor activities.CThe people who sit in sofas and watch TV in all their free time.DThe people who take part in many activities in all their free time.3Which of the sentence is wrong?AThe Meeks would set off to try the activities every w

35、eekend.BThe two little girl were tired of all the activities.CThe two little girl learned a lot of skills from the activities.DThe activities are good to Amy and Ellas health.4What can we know from the end of the article?AThe family will stop doing the activities next year.BAmy and Ella will continu

36、e to do the activities on this years list.CThe Meeks drew up a new list of challenges together.DThe parents have the final say to the list of activities.C15、 “The hound(猎犬)!” cries Holmes. “Come, Watson! Come.”We run quickly over the moor(荒野). We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As w

37、e approach(靠近) we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville. He is wearing his brown suit.“Oh, no!” says Holmes, “This man has a beard!”Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.“So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his old suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to S

38、eldenhis wifes brother.”“Then Selden is dead because of this suit,” says Holmes.“Think, Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henrys clothesprobably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henrys scent and runs after this poor man.”Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us

39、. He says, “There was a strange noise. I was worried about Sir Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right.”“Really?” asks Holmes.Stapleton looks at Holmes. “Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles?”Holmes shrugs his shoulders,

40、“We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I will return to London tomorrow.”“Oh, will you return to London tomorrow?”“Yes.”So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton walk to his home.Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we have no proof that Stapleton is the murderer. “There are no

41、 marks on Sir Charless body. We know that he died of fright, but we cant prove anything.”“Things are becoming clear to me,” Holmes says to Sir Henry. “Its a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound.”We are surprised to see one portrait(画像) of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first vi

42、ctim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And hes like both Sir Henry and Stapleton. “Stapleton is a Baskerville,” replies Holmes. “So he wants to inherit(继承) the Baskerville fortune, and he,” I say. Its an important clue.1The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 7 probably means “”.AtasteBbootCsuitDsm

43、ell.2We can infer(推断) from the passage that .ASir Henry tells Holmes that Stapleton is a BaskervilleBStapleton wants to murder Sir Henry indeedCWatson finds out that Selden is Mrs Stapletons brotherDStapleton kills Selden by frightening him with the hound3Which of the following is TRUE according to

44、the passage?AHolmes and Watson think Mr Barrymore murders Selden.BHolmes doesnt catch Stapleton because he has no proof.CHolmes and Watson find the dead body of Stapleton on the moor one night.DHolmes tells Stapleton that he and Watson are going back to London.D16、 Do equations and historical(历史的) f

45、acts give you a headache? 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

46、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 high

47、er 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 patter

48、ns(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

49、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 an

50、d 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 s

51、chool 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.1In which classes do you learn equations (Paragraph 1) according to the passage?AMath.B

52、Geography.CEnglish.DHistory.2According to the new study, .Aafternoon classes lowered students performance in historyBschool timetables have an influence on every subjectCit was better for students to learn math in the morningDlower-ability students preferred to start school earlier3Whats the main id

53、ea of Paragraph 4?AIt shows the importance of studying different subjects at different times of the day.BIt introduces the best time to do things that require memory and creativity.CIt encourages students to change their study methods for better results.DIt explains how school timetables affect peop

54、les study performance.4According to Dimitrova, .Arearranging(重新安排) school timetables is the best way to improve students test scoresBschools should follow advice from the study and actively change their timetablesCmost schools dont have enough resources to support timetable changesDschools should th

55、ink twice before changing their class timetables5What is the best title of this passage?ATime to change the timetable.BA survey carried out successfully.CSecrets of learning math and history well.DBody clocks influence grades.E17、Just like rice and noodles are different from bread, snacks in China a

56、re a world apart from those in the UK and the US. For one thing, I never imagined that sunflower seeds(瓜子) would be so popular here. I spotted people having them while waiting for tables outside restaurants, before dinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds

57、is always on offer during the Spring Festival holidays.I had seldom tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, though, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent survey has discovered

58、that 64 percent of under 20-year-olds snack between meals, according to an article on the British Council website. In comparison,58.7 percent of young people snack in Germany, 53 percent in France, and only 40.7 percent in Spain.British snacks are generally unhealthy. Our favorites are probably pota

59、to chips, which we call crisps, and chocolate bars. From a very young age, we always looked forward to our crisps and chocolate bars after school, perhaps even included with sandwiches and fruit in our school lunches that our parents made for us.Snacks are also popular in the US. One of the things t

60、hat I found the most extraordinary(特别的) when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in their supermarkets; I was surprised to find huge aisles(过道) just for snacks that were bigger than some stores Id been to in the UK. Snack tastes in the US are much the same as those in the UK, except ther
