21、How to learn without forgetting

If you are about to take an exam, it’s useful to use some study tips to help yourself remember what you’ve learned.

【1】 You need to find a quiet space free of distractions, such as a library. By having an area just for studying, your brain will become used to calming down and absorbing materials once you get there.

Create and stick to a good study schedule. 【2】 For some, this may be immediately after school. Others may be more productive if they take a break after school and relax a bit before opening their books. No matter when you choose to study, you will store more information if you study a bit each day rather than cramming (临时死记硬背) at the last minute.

Discuss what you are learning. Talking about what you are learning can help you store the information better. 【3】

Write out what you have to memorize. 【4】 You can also write out flashcards (抽认卡) with important facts or dates on them. This is helpful, since the act of writing will help you remember, and the flashcards are a convenient tool you can use to review what you’ve learned while riding on or waiting for a bus.

Develop a mind map. Mind maps are diagrams (图表) or pictures you can create to help you visually organize information. 【5】 Therefore, you can better understand the connections between different ideas or groups of data. By better understanding how different ideas connect together, you can better remember them.

A．Pick a good place to study.

B．Read your materials out loud.

C．You can study with a friend and test each other.

D．Taking notes on what you’ve read can really help.

E．They help show relationships between pieces of information.

F．Take the time to think about when you are able to concentrate.

G．Try to organize the information you’re trying to remember into a rhyme.

22、A few years ago, at a medical laboratory clinic in Waterloo, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair singing the tune “My Heart Will Go On”. With little effort, she sent her sweet voice exploding into every comer of the clinic.

I was there with my father when the woman arrived. She settled into the seat directly across from my father. Because she was so tiny, she had to sit on the edge of the chair so her feet could touch the floor. It seemed as though she was sitting forward to start a conversation with him. I was concerned about how my father would react to the possible invasion of his space. He was 77 and had been living with Alzheimer’s disease for several years. Since Alzheimers has a tendency to destroy a person’s patience, Dad had had a few challenging experiences in the past. I couldn’t help but think that this woman was playing with fire.

Her singing began gently. My father was staring right at her. I couldn’t read his expression, but it seemed to be something like confusion. I wondered whether he was actually looking at her or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind. Or maybe he was trying to discover whether this was someone he should know. That was what was happening now: no polite smile, no friendly nod. Just a stare. This lack of important acknowledgment didn’t deter the little woman one bit and her singing slowly got louder. Getting to the chorus, she was totally lost in her own singing with her eyes shut.

Still, I watched for any signs of an outburst of anger. But he didn’t show any signs of an explosion. Instead, his face softened and he was starting to look entertained. When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking directly at her. ‘‘That was beautiful,” he said. And she smiled and said, “Thank you.”

【1】Why did the author worry about the woman’s sitting opposite?

A．Her father might lose his privacy.

B．Her father was likely to get annoyed.

C．Her father could be reminded of the past.

D．Her father had no patience with strangers.

【2】What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Panic.

B．Confuse.

C．Surprise.

D．Discourage.

【3】How did the author find her father’s final behaviour?

A．Typical.

B．Awkward.

C．Unexpected.

D．Unacceptable.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．A song awakens my father

B．Music is the best medicine

C．A tune draws people closer

D．Classics will always live on

23、One day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood near a river. Suddenly his old axe(斧) fell into the water. He felt very sad because he lost his only axe. Then all at once a beautiful fairy came out and asked the man what was the matter. “I have lost my axe,” he said. “It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood.” The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked, “is this yours?”

“No,” said the man. The fairy then showed him a silver axe and asked again, “Is this yours?” “No,” again answered the man. Then she showed him the old axe. “Yes, that is mine,” called out the happy man.

“I know that well enough,” said the fairy. “I only wanted to see if you would tell me the truth, and now I’ll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides your own one.”

24、Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.

Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising atmosphere CO2 is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen. High levels of this gas are boosting temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.

In order to see whether this is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide. “By measuring tree rings’ widths, one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees’ maximum lifespan.” Brienen explained.

The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees stared dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A．Where carbon dioxide or CO2 is.

B．Whether trees will be planted or not.

C．Why the atmosphere can remove carbon dioxide.

D．Why trees against climate change should be rethought.

【2】Which word can replace the underlined one in paragraph 1?

A．Decline.

B．Decompose.

C．Decrease.

D．Deconstruct.

【3】Why are trees growing faster than ever according to recent studies?

A．They give off and store lots of CO2.

B．They belong to fast-growing species.

C．Rising atmospheric CO2 may help them.

D．The surrounding trees may affect them.

【4】What might be talked about in the following paragraph?

A．How to make the old trees live a little longer.

B．Why the team founded the computer program.

C．Why the faster trees grow, the longer they live.

D．How to deal with dying trees emitting their extra carbon.
