Ⅰ.阅读理解
Babies can seem pretty helpless. They can't talk or use a spoon properly. They can't go to the bathroom by themselves.
A long time ago, you were a baby yourself. But you've made the transition from a crying infant (婴儿) to an independent kid. As you've grown, your brain has undergone major changes. As a result, you know the difference between a cow and a car, an orange and a tennis ball. You can read, spell, and do maths.
For years, scientists have been intrigued (激起兴趣) by how a baby's brain develops. They've been trying to figure out how and when babies become learning machines and begin to make sense of the world.
Some researchers suggest that babies start off early. “The ‘smart baby’ camp believes that babies learn quickly，” says David Rakison, a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “They do maths — (simple) addition and subtraction — within the first 6 months.”
Other researchers argue that babies take their time, slowly learning what they need to know.
Scientists who specialize in brain development do agree on one thing: the ways in which babies sort (给……分类) objects into groups is a key sign of brain development.
And after years of studying how babies sort toys and other objects, Rakison has concluded that babies are “smart” in some ways and “dumb” in others. Babies are particularly good, he says, at learning things that are essential for survival, such as recognizing
faces or dangerous animals.

考试做题技巧
会学习,还要会考试
时间分配法：决定考场胜利的重要因素科学分配答题时间,是决定考场能否胜利的重要因素。

有了时间上的合理安排,同学们紧张的心情就可以得到舒缓与放松,考试水平也就能最大限度的得到发挥。

下面,我们为同
学们介绍一个应对的好办法时间分配法。

第一,考前分配好时间。

从发试卷到正式开考前有几分钟的阅卷时间拿到试卷并填好卷头以后,要浏览整张试卷,查看试卷的容量、试题的难易程度。

然后,根据题目、题量、分值和难易程度分配做题时间,易题和少分题少用时间,难题和多分题多用时间。

比如数学,按分值分配,选择题大约应安排在50~55分钟左右完成,非选择题大约安排90~95分钟左右完成为宜。

同学们平时做题时,可以先测试自己每一部分题目的做题时间,定下一个标准,然后考试时根据试卷题目情况,在原来的基础上调整。

看到哪一部分有较难的题目,可适当多匀一点时间。

第二,每个题目有一个时间标准。

如果遇到一道题目,思考了3~5分钟仍然理不清解题的思路时,应视为难题可暂时放弃,等到后面有了思路或答完卷之后再回头来做。

这样一来就不会出现不能控制时间而影响答后面题目
况。

同时,要注意虽然每个题目有一定的时间限制,但也不要每题都看否则会弄得自己很紧张
第三,考试最后的15分钟。

不管还有多少题目没有完成,考试的最后15分钟一定要先将答题卡涂好,避免答题无效。

答题六注意：规范答题不丢分
提高考分的另一个有效方法是减少或避免不规范答题等非智力因素造成的失分,具体来说考场答题要注意以下六点：
第一,考前做好准备工作。

做题前要做好准备工作,包括认真检查答题卡页数和条形码上的姓名、考号与本人的姓名、准考证上的号是否相符等。

此外,还要准确填写答题卡的相关信息,正确粘贴条形码,注意不能超出框外。

第二,使用规定的笔作答。

答选择题时,考生必须用2B型
铅笔在答题卡上的“选择题答题区”内将对应题目的选项字母点涂黑
第三,答题不要超出规定范围。

考生必须在答题卡各题目规定的答题区域内作答(包括画表及作辅助线)。

在各题目指定答题区域外的地方,或超越试卷上标出的边界作答,或者自己编题号,其答案都是无效的。

第四,若题中有图,答题前应规划好“布局”,合理安排空间。

例如几何题,图形多在左边。

这种情况下建议大家从图下方开始写起,书写规范字迹清晰,避免“箭头”“地图”等出现。

第五,答题卡千万别折叠。

考生答题时,要注意保持答题卡的清洁,不能折叠、弄皱和损坏答题卡,以免影响计算机扫描
第六,书写要整洁。

有的学生的答案“布局”很乱,还用箭头标注下一句的位置,加上字迹潦草、卷面不整洁等情况,阅卷老师很难辨认,甚至对考生的学习态度、学习习惯和知识
基础产生怀疑,由此分数也将大受影响。
