26、Preparing for exams? Give yourself the best chance with these study tips,and try not to let the stress get to you! Remember:you've got this.

Give yourself enough time to study.   【1】While some students do seem to succeed depending on last-minute hard-work, it's widely accepted that this is not the best way. To help sort out your time management, set up a timetable for your study and organize it accordingly.

Use flow charts and diagrams.【2】 At the start of a topic, challenge yourself to write down everything you already know about a topic-and then highlight where the gaps lie. Closer to the exam,simplify your revision notes into one-page diagrams, which can help you to quickly recall everything you need during the exam.

Explain your answers to others. Take advantage of your parents and little brothers and sisters around exam time. Explain an answer to a question to them. 【3】

【4】You may think it's best to study for as many hours as possible. However, this can turn out to be the opposite. Studies have shown that for long-term memory of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps.

Plan your exam day.【5】Don't leave it to the day before to suddenly realize you don't know the way, or what you're supposed to bring. Check all the rules and requirements, and plan your route and journey time. If possible, do a test run of the trip. If not, write down clear directions.

A．Take regular breaks.

B．Think about what works for you.

C．Don't leave it until the last minute.

D．Avoid developing any study routine.

E．That will help you to get it clear in your head.

F．Visual aids can be really helpful when revising.

G．Get everything ready well in advance of the exam.

27、   Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived. I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modem childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.

【1】According to the author, people enjoy   to seek nature.

A.running in the gym B.jogging on the street

C.shopping in the supermarket D.sitting in the garden

【2】From the second paragraph, we can see that   .

A.climbing trees will certainly do good to the children

B.children probably spend less time in nature nowadays

C.adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature

D.children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction

【3】In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

A.Children with ADHD can be cured.

B.Children's performance at school is greatly improved.

C.A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

D.Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Getting close to nature improves our life.

B.Nature can treat the children with ADHD.

C.Playing in nature reduces aggressive behaviour.

D.Human beings can not live without natural areas.

28、   The World Health Organization(WHO)says it is possible to defeat the disease malaria （疟疾）,although that is not likely to happen with the current methods.

Pedro Alonso, directing the United Nations agency's global malaria program, says the WHO wants to eradicate(根除）the disease but “with the tools we have today, it is most unlikely that the goal will be achieved.”

Malaria infected around 219 million people in 2017, when about 435,000 people died from the disease. The large majority were babies and children in the poorest areas of Africa. These totals little changed from 2016.But the numbers are smaller than the 239 million infections and 607,000 deaths reported in 2010.Diallo is head of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria. The group released a statement from him on the WHO report, saying, “Today, there are more countries without malaria than with it, and more countries than ever have fewer than 10,000 malaria cases.”

WHO officials have long wanted to destroy malaria. The United Nations agency first attempted a campaign against the disease in 1955.Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing financial support for the latest efforts.

There are a number of drugs available to successfully treat malaria. Sleeping under chemically-treated bed nets has proven to be effective in order to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes and infections. The drug company GSK has also developed a vaccine that has proven partially effective against malaria. The vaccine is currently used in Ghana and Malawi. But the WHO's report says these tools will not be enough to end the threat from malaria altogether. It calls for research and development of“transformative tools and knowledge” to control mosquitoes and create more effective medicines to prevent and treat the disease.

【1】How many people suffered from malaria in 2016?

A.Around 219 million people. B.About 435,000 people.

C.239 million people or so. D.About 607,000 people.

【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 3?

A.Diallo feels worried about how to defeat malaria.

B.Malaria is a common disease in many countries.

C.WHO is in great need of financial support nowadays actually.

D.Humans have made great achievement in fighting with malaria.

【3】What can we know about the vaccine from GSK in the opinion of the WHO?

A.It can help effectively cure malaria.

B.It needs to be further developed.

C.It can kill mosquitoes in a short time.

D.It almost has no impact on malaria.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.Possible to Defeat Malaria, But Probably Not Soon

B.Drug Company GSK Determines to Defeat Malaria

C.Malaria Control the Earth Long, But is to Disappear

D.Transformative Tools and Knowledge on the Way

29、   On Saturday, millions of people around the world will celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, which honors Patron Saint (or main religious figure) of Ireland. Communities across the United States will host parades (游行), parties, and other festivities to mark the occasion.

This year, cities like Boston, New York, and Chicago have organized massive (大规模的) events celebrating Saint Patrick's Day.

Patron Saint lived in Britain in the early fifth century, when it was still part of the Roman Empire (帝国). He was captured and sold into slavery (奴隶制) in Ireland when he was only 16. He eventually escaped slavery and turned to a life of religious devotion. He trained to become a minister (主教) and set out to spread Christianity throughout Ireland. After 30 years as a religious leader, Patrick died on March 17, 1461. Saint Patrick’s Day is always celebrated on March 17. In Ireland, it is an official holiday.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.

Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for  protection  from  his  creditors  via  bankruptcy,  and  with  the  help  of  Henry  Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.

Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the  “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of  American literature”.
