21、Studying smarter, not longer, matters now more than ever, with students in many countries having to manage their time and study more on their own. 【1】 The good news: Science points to ones that really work.
Use pictures. Pay attention to drawings, graphics, chart and other visual aids in your class materials, psychologist Mark McDaniel says. “【2】 And if there aren’t pictures, creating them can be really, really useful.”
Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something, psychologist Cynthia Nebel says. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.【3】 But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it’s easier to understand and remember that acids and sour go together.
【4】 Psychologist Nate Komell “definitely did cram (临时抱佛脚)” before big tests when he was a student. He still thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test. But research shows it’s a bad idea to cram all your studying into that day. Instead, allow time between study sessions and you’ll learn and remember material better.
Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration. “It’s asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says.【5】
Try adding just one new study skill each week or two. It may seem odd at first. But, by the time week two rolls around, it becomes a normal thing.
A.Reread books and notes.
B.Space out your studying.
C.They really boost your memory of the material.
D.Yet many students have never learned those skills.
E.In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.
F.On its own, that concept might be hard to remember.
G.It’s like telling students to learn to swim by “just swimming.”
22、A plant swap is the perfect way to thin out some additional plants you have, while acquiring some brand-new ones to enjoy at the same time. Not only will you swap plants, but you’ll trade information about plant care. 【1】Here are some suggestions on how to organize a plant swap.
The first step is trying to calculate interest from your friends or neighbours in your community. Talk to those who garden and like plants to see if they would be interested in participating. 【2】 The more people you have, the more fun it will be.
【3】 Each visitor is asked to bring a pest free, healthy plant, or two or three for trade. They can be potted or bare root. All swapped items must be labeled (标记) with the crop type and the variety name. The visitor may additionally bring care directions for the plant.
Prepare a place to host. A backyard is the ideal, casual area. Set up tables for every one of the plants and add some easy decoration to them. 【4】 Once you have the location ready, you can talk to the visitors about selecting the best date and time for the event.
Enjoy the swap. When all visitors arrive, let them arrange their plants on the tables and socialize. Participants will certainly have new plants to appreciate and get rid of old ones they really do not have an area for. 【5】. It’s a precious chance for them to share their understanding about the various plants as well as exchange their experience relevant to gardening!
A.Promote the event.
B.Set the rules of a plant swap.
C.They will benefit a lot from the process.
D.More importantly, it helps you connect with others.
E.Adding a plant to your home can do much for the environment.
F.You can also post on social media to measure the crowd’s interest.
G.That way, your guests can place the plants or containers that they bring.
23、China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, scientists said on Thursday. By December 2017 , the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named“Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua”by nuclear transferring of body cells—any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells. This was the similar technology used to create the famous clone sheep Dolly in 1996.
Telra, a monkey born in 1999 , is the world’s first ever-cloned monkey, but it was done using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分裂),and cannot be genetically modified to suit experimental needs, said Pu Muming, a leading researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Cloning a monkey using body cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类)that shares its genetic makeup, therefore all of its complexity, with humans, he said.
For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly, bad for the environment and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes, Pu said.
By cloning monkey using body cells, we can mass reproduce a large number of genetically identical monkeys in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs, he added. “This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.”
Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different.
Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans. This achievement will help China lead the world research in an international science project related to study of primate brains.
【1】Which description of the two clone macaques is true?
A. They were the first monkeys ever-cloned in the world.
B. They were created using reproductive cells.
C. They would be fed to suit experimental needs.
D. The technology used to create them was similar to that of creating Dolly.
【2】The underlined word in the fourth paragraph is closest to “ ”in meaning.
A. same
B. similar
C. relevant
D. close
【3】What can be learned from the passage?
A. Pu Muming and Sun Qiang were doing most work in cloning the two macaques.
B. Genetic research on monkeys can be seen as effective as that on humans.
C. Most drug trials have been done on mice because mice share the same genetic makeup and complexity with humans.
D. Scientists can mass reproduce cloned monkeys to cut down experiment costs.
【4】This passage above can be most probably read in
A. a science magazine
B. a guidebook
C. a science fiction
D. a brochure
