26、 When was the last time something important slipped your mind?Maybe it was the answer to a test question,the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys. Fortunately,memory can be improved so they won’t happen that often. People’s memory has much to do with training and practice. Applying effective means will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it.
When students want to prepare for a test,they often try to study by simply reading over the material again,copying notes,etc. But these methods of remembering are not always helpful. People remember more when actively taking part in their learning rather than passively receiving it.
One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material. Come up with questions about the topic,and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps to try to summarize the material in different ways. You could diagram the information,or you could write your own outline. The more you use the information,the more likely you are to remember it.
When I was 8,I began learning to play the flute(长笛),and my music instructor said that it’s better to practice for five minutes a day,seven days a week,than for two hours on one day. The same goes for remembering information. The more you spread out the time you spend reviewing information,the more likely you are to remember it.
A psychologist named Hermann Ebbinghaus made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it. The rate at which they forget then slows down over time. Every time people review the information,it causes them to forget less of it-which means they remember more. So it is vital to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them. Over time,you can review them less and less frequently.
【1】What would happen if something slipped your mind?
A.You let your mind wander.
B.You think of the answer to a question.
C.You fail to remember certain information.
D.You keep a person’s name in mind.
【2】How does the author support his viewpoints in Paragraphs 2 & 3?
A.By making a comparison.
B.By giving a summary.
C.By conducting experiments.
D.By offering examples.
【3】What is the author’s story in Paragraph 4 used to show?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Repeated revision is important.
C.It’s vital to insist on what you are fond of.
D.Efforts play a key part in learning.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.An explanation of Ebbinghaus’s theory.
B.A description of the learning process.
C.The approaches to improving memory.
D.The relationship between time and memory.
27、One day when I was five, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry movement to open the screen door with my foot, I had kicked back about a12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for such behavior. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door be, creating an opening, a breach (窟隆) in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that comer of the screen, it would constantly remind me of my mistake. For years I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all.
My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stem (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for my behavior delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
【1】The underlined word “remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.

A.He felt it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.
B.He found that his family members no longer liked him.
C.He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.
D.He felt he had to work hard to make up for the damage.
【4】What is the main idea of this text?
A.Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
B.The best way to become a more patient person.
C.Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
D.Parents are the best teachers of their children.
28、Sue Hendrickson is a self-taught fossil(化石)hunter. As a kid, Sue Hendrickson often walked with her head down. “People said, ‘Look up. Smile!” she says. “Now, I realize I was born to look for things and just didn’t know it.”
Sue Hendrickson does more than look—she finds valuable things: Shipwrecks(沉船)with treasure, ancient sunken cities, and in 1990, she found Sue, the world’s largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus rex(霸王龙). Is Hendrickson lucky? Well, maybe. But she also knows how to look.
“I limit the area where I’m going to look,” she says. No one knew the location of the sunken ship San Diego in the Philippines. For a year, Hendrickson and other researchers searched papers and sailors’ diaries. “The descriptions of the ship’s sailors led us to the wreck,” she says. The team also used a tool that can respond to metal. This tool found the San Diego. All the work paid off. The 400-year-old ship was complete, with valuable gold and silver coins.
To find the dinosaur she calls “the biggest animal that ever walked on earth,” Hendrickson started with maps made to search for oil. What Hendrickson found was the largest and most complete T-rex found to date. The T-rex is 42 feet long with 200 bones! Because it is so complete, scientists were able to infer that Sue walked at about 6 miles per hour and did not run faster than 15 miles an hour. Before Sue was discovered, they thought T-rex was much faster. To learn more about T-rex Sue, go to the Field Museum in Chicago.
There’s plenty left to be found, Hendrickson says, including answers to mysterious such as how T-rex lived. “I tell kids that they need to grow up and work them out because all of us old persons haven’t yet!”
【1】What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. An ancient city. B. Hendrickson’s hobby.
C. The world’s largest T-rex. D. Hendrickson’s great findings.
【2】How did Hendrickson find the sunken ship San Diego?
A. With a self made tool. B. By starting with research.
C. By following sailor’s lead. D. With the help of oil maps.
【3】What can we learn about T-rex Sue?
A. It helped scientists learn new things about T-rex.
B. It ran faster than any other T-rex.
C. It let people know how T-rex lived.
D. It was the biggest dinosaur.
【4】What does Hendrickson advise kids to do?
A. Find more details. B. Explore mysteries.
C. Visit the Field Museum. D. Respect scientific research.
29、You cannot judge a book by looking at its cover! That's what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this term.
When they came to school in September, the students were shocked to learn that their class teacher was to be a P.E. teacher. How could someone who teaches table tennis and basketball know anything about academics? Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace 'Miss Muscle' with a 'Miss Brain. ' However, the principal(校长) did not give in to the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.
After three months, the P.E. teacher, whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students active in their studies and participate in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is 'pretty extraordinary. '
The early negative reaction against Miss Su is an example of bias(偏见). A 'bias' is wrong in thinking that has an influence on a person's opinions and decisions. For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias.
【1】What seemed to be the parents' early reaction to Miss Su?
A.They were excited.
B.They were amazed.
C.They were worried.
D.They were interested.
【2】Why is Miss Su considered to be 'pretty extraordinary'?
A.She is an excellent P. E. teacher.
B.She was finally removed.
C.She really cared about her students.
D.The headmaster was proved to be wrong.
【3】The examples are given in the last paragraph to show .
A.tall men are usually excellent
B.people are often judged with bias
C.opinions should be based on facts
D.women lack leadership skills
【4】What's the author's attitude towards the bias?
A.Disagreeable.
B.Acceptable.
C.Careless.
D.Curious.
