11．Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English．Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic．But remember to work in a way that suits you．It's important to learn from past mistakes as well．Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make-it'll help you avoid making the same ones later．
The time of life may be hard，but you're not alone．You may be busy studying，but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages．Don't let your friendships die．
It's as important to live well as it is to study well．Going to bed no later than 11：30 pm is vital．It puts you in the right mood for the next day．You needn't follow a special diet，but make sure you are eating nutritious meals each day．
The person who plays well，studies well．Having a lot of schoolwork doesn't mean having to give up other activities．Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself．Time_out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently．
Besides taking the big exam，you have other choices for college．I took the independent enrollment exam held by Peking University and some other students even were preparing to study abroad．Pay attention to any relevant information you can find，whether it's from school，the news media or other sources．
1．What should you do if you want to keep your friendship fresh？D
A．Have frequent talks with them．
B．Always have lunch with them．
C．Remain them at some distance．
D．Keep connection by some ways．
2．The third paragraph is mainly aboutD．
A．study　　　　
B．friendship　　　　
C．relaxation　　　　　　
D．health
3．Which one is the closest meaning to"Time out"in Paragraph 4？D
A．Sleep．          
B．Exercise．             
C．Continuation．            
D．Pause．
4．The passage is mainly written by a（n）B．

1．It's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds．It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been，and they don't recognize you or any of their friends---every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time．
But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them．A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think．In fact，certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12days ago．
In the study，researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food．They then waited for 12days before putting them back in the tank again．
Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish's movements．They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food．This suggested that they could remember their past experiences．
In fact，scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory．An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish，perhaps
because they remembered their past"fights"．But until the latest findings，there was no clear
evidence．
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier，it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild．
"If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food，they will be able to go
back to that area without putting their lives at risks，"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science．

For a long time，fish were placed far below chimpanzees，dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals．But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence．

33．What is the article mainly about？B
A．Fish having very bad memories．
B．Fish being smarter than we thought．
C．How fish improve their memory．
D．What we can learn from fish．
34．According to the article，people used to believe thatD．
A．fish could only remember part of their past experiences
B．fish could remember things that happened 12days ago
C．a fish's memory lasted for only seven minutes
D．fish didn't recognize any of their friends
35．How can fish benefit most from a good memory？They can rememberA．
A．where to get food and survive
B．their enemies and fight
C．where to escape to when in danger
D．their friends and help each other．
2．In Mid-autumn festival，people usually admire the moon and enjoy mooncakes．
19．I returned home the other night，tired．My husband asked me how my evening was，"Great．"I told him．I had spent 90 minutes in a gym with 10 Ping-Pong tables and all kinds of players，all playing a little ball over the net．By 9 pm，I was excited，tired，satisfied．I had beaten two young men half my age and lost battles against other competitors．To an observer，the night was common．To me，it was a lucky thing that I hadn't expected．
I had taken up Ping-Pong during college，and in my 30s took more advanced lessons．However，a serious accident hurt my leg，which made me unable to take exercise．Months later，I tried to play Ping-Pong but my leg pained for a week．I put the game out of my mind．
When I was 53，one day my bad leg was working a little bit better．Could Ping-Pong be possible for me，now---in my condition，at my age？I tried to play Ping-Pong again
Ping-Pong is a sport which requires endurance（耐力）．Players need quick foot work and upper body movements to return balls，requiring faster response time than tennis．
Playing Ping-Pong offers benefits for the brain．A study of 164 women aged 60 and older showed that Ping-Pong improved cognitive（认知）function more than dancing，walking or gymnastics．"The great thing about our sport is that it can be played by anyone，"said Jimmy Butler，a four-time national USA Table Tennis Association winner．"I see 90-year-olds and 10-year-olds．"
Years passed and my endurance improved．People started to praise my shots．I won a game．Then I won agin．These days，I feel wonderful，I believe this sport is the fountain （源泉）of youth．

Once as I was getting ready for school，my mother（43）Ame my father's vest instead of mine．This was around the time when I was going to be larger in （44）Athan my father，so as I put on the vest，I felt like I was being choked in it!I（45）Dthat it was a small oversight（疏忽） on my mother's part，but （46）Bthe feeling of being choked drowned me and I got very angry．

Later，my mother shared her own （49）B with my father："See what your son has done．"
Instead of scolding or abusing me，my father （50）Aresponded by asking my mother to （51）Dthe vest．He then wore it to work the next day．
When my mother told me about my father's response much later，when I had （52）A from my fit，I immediately felt a great sense of（53）Dfor my violent behavior，just（54）Cthat he was spending the entire day wearing a（n）（55）Cvest．At the same time，I was filled with great（56）Dfor my father，whose gentle kindness taught me a life lesson I would treasure forever．
On that day，I made a （57）Bnever to let anger get the better of me．I learn to （58）Dothers when I think that they behave in an unfair，cruel，or unacceptable way，（59）C forgiveness is a tool to turn anger off．And whenever I have difficulty（60）Amy strong emotion，I try to remember my father's vest．

16．Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home？People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs），it is likely that the two pets will get along smoothly．In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship．
    However，it wasn't all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression（侵略，好斗） and fighting were found in 10% of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different．For example，when a cat turns its head away it means aggression，while a dog doing the same means submission（顺从）．
    In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers found a surprising behavior．They are learning how to talk each other's language．It is surprising that cats can learn how to talk"Dog"，and dogs can learn how to talk"Cat"．
    What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter．They can learn to read each other's body languages，suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected．Once familiar with each other's body language，cats and dogs can play together，and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa．
    The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don't get along well，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even countries．If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．
9．The underlined word smoothly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toD．
A．early          
B．mostly          
C．quickly         
D．well
10．What is found surprising about cats and dogs？C
A．They eat and sleep together．
B．They watch each other's behaviors．
C．They learn to speak each other's language．
D．They know something from each other's voices．
11．It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogsB．
A．have common interests                       
B．have appeared to become smarter．
C．have a common body language             
D．are not so smart as was expected
12．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs？A
A．We should learn to get along well with others
B．We should know more about animals．
C．We should live in peace with animals．
D．We should learn more body languages．
3．Recently I had a conversation in Beijing with an adult Chinese friend who was complaining how difficult it was to study English．No surprises there．It is a difficult language to master，just like Chinese．I made a few suggestions based on my experience．One involved a very valuable fact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher，Dr．Smith．He is a gifted linguist （语言学家），and has an amazing ability to remember things，like poetry，essays，speeches，etc．His advice to us students is that for memorization purposes，there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more acceptable than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes．
This 40-minute"super memory"period is divided into two parts：the 20 minutes before we sleep，and the 20 minutes after we first awake．The theory supporting this is pretty simple．First，the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root than information gained during the noisy daytime； and second，our mind is free of disturbance（干扰） when we first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs，like a blank slate（石板）．
I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school years．In my university days，our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary words each day，on which we would be quizzed（测试）the following day．Without the"magic"40-minute technique，there's no way I would have passed those daily quizzes．
As far as language study goes，it's not only useful for memorizing vocabulary．It's also a very useful window of time to listen to the language we're studying even with background noise，and even if it's at a level we find difficult to understand．It might be audio（声音的）language study，aids，or just radio，TV or whatever．
Beyond our years of formal（正式的） education，memory skills are hugely important in any career．How many times have we heard a speaker read their speech from a prepared text，or read the word-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide（投影片）？These are annoying，boring，and less effective ways of communicating．They are almost guaranteed（保证） to lose the audience's close attention and interest，let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything．And yet lots of people still make this mistake．
If we use the 40-minute technique，we may not succeed in memorizing our presentation content on a 100% word-by-word basis，but we'll be familiar enough so that we can spend much more time making eye contact with our audience．We will get them in the process，while looking at our text instead of staring at it．This will also free up our hands and arms to convey some extra messages through gesture．
As you see，the technique really works，but like many things，it takes practice to perfect it．Therefore，we'd better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom，as regularly and frequently as possible．One basic rule of language learning is，"Use it，or lose it•"
Seize the forty-minute learning window and we'll bring in a rich harvest of language learning．

20．电影《山楂树之恋》就是在我们村拍摄的．
It was in our villagethat the film Under the Hawthorn Tree was made．
1．A scanner is recently created by a group of professors．It is believed to predict the perfect job for anyone simply by reading their fingerprints．The group says that in the future，fingerprints could help tell a person's key personalities．
To use the scanner，people place their fingers upon the fingerprint reader and computer technology connected with sensors （传感器） reads back what sort of job could suit the individual．The machine bases its results on a collection of a large amount of information in the computer about how fingerprint shapes connect with job selection．
Local companies help researchers from the city's Kuban University of Physical Education and Sport to test the technology．
Twenty-one-year-old Oscar Galkin，a mathematics graduate，said："I got the result from the scanner that I would suit a job in IT，which is exactly what I want to do．I don't know if it is luck or if it can really read a person's talents，but it worked for me．"
And Zara Tokareva，aged 20，who feels uncomfortable at the sight of blood，said："I want to be a house designer but the machine said I should be a nurse．So，no，I don't think it is as clever as expected．"
Though fingerprint identification has been widely used in crime discovering，it is still a science that has a lot of possibility of being used，say experts，from discovering drug misuse to personality analysis-exactly as hand readers have been saying to do for centuries．
"The basic idea is that although everybody's fingerprints are completely different，there are obvious features that are common on the fingers of certain professionals working in certain jobs，"said researcher Ravil Yudin．
It's not really a new idea because hand readers have been saying for hundreds of years that you can tell a person's future by reading their hands．We want to match that by looking at fingerprints and trying to tell what career path people would choose．

33．From the text we know that the fingerprint scannerA．
A．matches fingerprints with jobs
B．tells people's personality
C．helps collect job information
D．reads individual's mind
34．What can we learn from what Ravil Yudin said？B
A．The fingerprint scanner is based on a new idea．
B．Cerain people's fingers actually have something in common．
C．Telling one's future by reading his hands started a few years ago．
D．The technology of fingerprint identification can be used in many fields．
35．What is the main idea of the passage？C
A．Hand readers are widely used in life．
B．A fingerprint scanner could tell a person's personality．
C．A fingerprint scanner could predict a person's job．
D．A fingerprint scanner could be used in crime discovering．
