2017北京卷七选五Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 71 One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 72 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强)connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元)in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 73 Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 74 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s sleep, we fin d it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 75 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.71-75CEFGB。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Secret codes (密码)keep messages private.Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 1 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. 2 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”3 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each let ter, the message “Meet me” would read “135520135.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences.To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 4 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.”The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 5 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long.So codes must be changed frequently.A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book.B.In any language, some letters are used more than others.C.Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D.As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.F．With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G．Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.Passage 2 (2016·全国Ⅱ)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

These can be in a lined pattern,for a specific sound, or placed at random for a more varied effect. It isthen filled with a variety of different things, like small stones, orbeads( 珠子 ), or even rice, and the ends are capped to provide a seal.__1_____The origins of rainsticks are not really known and so the stories arequite varied. Some people say that the ancient peoples of Chile createdrainsticks from dried cactus(仙人掌 ), with the sharp points taken off,pushed back inside and then filled with small stones. __2_____The Deaguita Indians survive even today, and they are still using them inmany of their rain ceremonies. They also make them as musicalinstruments.___3____ Turning the stick over quickly will produce a higher sound,while turning it slowly will produce a deeper effect. How long the effectlasts depends on how long the instrument is. The tube also affects thequality of the rain sound as well. If you make them from some kind ofabsorbent material, like cactus or bamboo, you will hear it better thanif you were to make it from cardboard tubing.A rainstick can be made from almost any kind of material and thetypes of things that you can use as fillings can be even more varied.__4____ Usually, these school projects are made using a cardboard tube,like the center from a roll of toilet paper or a paper towel tube.Tooth picks are then inserted, with the exposed ends cut off andglued in place. ___5____A.You can even make your own rainsticks, and they are often part ofschool projects where they are used to help children learn the history of Indian peoples.B.When turned upside down, these materials fall down throughthe tube, bouncing off of the barriers to produce a calming rain-like sound.C.These were then capped with pieces of wood on the ends andused in ceremonies to bring rain to their crops.D.One end is capped off with poster board and filled with rice or beans, and thenthe other end is sealed.E.You can get different rain sounds, depending on how fast youturn the rainstick itself.F.This rainstick can never be opened according to the scaredwritings of the ancients.G.They can be three feet or longer depending on what the tube itselfis made from.5.Tips on Young Adult LifeAs you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experiencea lot of changes.

The people who made thisinitial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food.Eventually,the oceans rose and the land bridge between the continents disappeared.The set tlers,who I shall call the“ First Americans ” , could not return to their homeland.1For the next few thousand years,the First Americans migratedsouth and east throughout North and South America.They made thejourney all the way from Alaska to the southern tip of South America, adistance of more than 10,000 miles.2In the far north, above the Arctic Circle, the First Americans becamehunters of the ocean.3In the brief summer,they gathered berriesand other plants. In the winter, they stayed in lodges much of the timepreparing for the next summer. It was a hard life,but they learned tosurvive in these harsh conditions.Farther south,in what is now Arizona,Utah,Colorado,and New Mexico, the First Americans became cliff dwellers(悬崖居民 ). They beganby living in caves that already existed in the cliffs.4The dwellingsthey constructed in many ways resembled today’ s apartment buildings.5They built a system of dams and canals so they could store and usewater almost any time of the year. They were so successful thatthey could raise fruits and vegetables that were not found naturallyin the desert.In Mexico and South America, the First Americans founded civilizations thatwere among the greatest in the world. They built hugepyramids, lived in fabulous cities, and made great advances in science andmathematics long before the Europeans arrived.A. They also discovered foods like corn and potatoes.B. Along the way, they established many different civilizations.C. The First Americans of the Southwest learned to irrigate the desert.D.

They discovered how to add to the caves by building structures ofwood and stone.7.Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking?To a certain degree,it’ sa matter of logic — of being able to spot weakness in other people’ arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas.___1____ The greatest thinkers, scientists and inventors have often taken informationthat was readily available and put it together differently to produce newideas. That, too, is critical thinking.___2___ As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend agreat deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like apurely mechanical(机械的 ) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chancesare that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the otherhand, the structure is clear, there is good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. __3____What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking.___4___ As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language,you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately.___5___ As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class,you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances.This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfectspeech.D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, onlyreorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speakingclass, the answer is quite a lot.F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a moreeffective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication.8.ShopaholismThe word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs.1Some people are compulsive shoppers. Others find it impossibleto pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.2Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it’ s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics.They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things thatthey don ’ t need. Even though they don’ t have enough money, they buy everything they want.The question is: why do they have this addic tion?There isn’ ta specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried,upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as away to forget their problems.Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something.3Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring outproblems. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, peopleaddicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them breakthis habit.However,the process, like for most addictions,is long,and they suffer a lot.4They just think about satisfyingtheir feelings, so they spend money they don’5 t have.A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.C.

People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways toamuse themselves.F. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and getsent to prison.G. It can also cause financial problems.9.FlavoringMost drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) containno fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, accordingto a study carried by the British Food Commission.“ Shoppers need to check the labels ( 标签) before buying drinks,though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove.“ Food production is highly competitive.1It will increase profits,and consumers won ’ talways realize they are being tricked.”Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products suchas fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products thatdo not have the desired flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of28strawberry-flavored products sold in stores.2Of the11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less thanone percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearlyeight teaspoons of sugar.3Let ’ stake jam as an example. Some strawberry -flavored jamwas labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners,but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.4Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what theyhave bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial fl avoring.“ Describing aproduct as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet withpictures of strawberries is misleading.5Unfortunately,it is alsolegal and widespread,” Tokelove said.“ It’ s time to take measures to protect the consu mers ’ rights.”A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.C.

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water.Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.

Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.24.

She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children’s book series. She knew as early as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science.

2017高考英语阅读7选5命题思路

2017高考英语七选五阅读理解（辽、琼、宁、京）【特点分析】该类题型要求从短文后的七个选项中（均为完整的句子）选出五个能填入文章空处的最佳选项，主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。

其命题形式深受英语四六级和考研阅读多项选择题的影响，体现了《新课标》“用英语获取、处理和运用信息的能力；逐步获取用英语思维的能力。

”的阅读学习和教学理念。

该题型命题形式仍然具有客观题的特点，又与完形填空具有异曲同工之妙，只是选项少，以句子形式出现，考查目的和侧重点不完全相同而已。

从《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。

”可以得出以下判断：该题备选项可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。

其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设置，例如主旨概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。

【题型分析】分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键，英语的语篇（discourse）通常是由句子和语段（sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓的“积句而成章，积章而成篇。

”就是这个道理。

分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种是分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落，另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。

语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式，段落（paragraph）是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。

构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。

If so, you are not alone. Actually, it’s a common occurrence for many of us to feel empty in various ways. For instance, you might feel empty as something is missing in your life. Or the emptiness might stem from sl owly abandoning yourselves, and not listening to your own hopes and d esires. Abandoning yourselves can also spark anxiety, depression, guilt and shame. 26．Here are several suggestions to help you out.Acknowl edge the emptiness. If you’re experiencing emptiness that’s more like a gaping hole, acknowl edge it, and be gentle with yourself. 27．If this emptiness is because of a l oved one’s passing, d on’t get angry with yourself for grieving years later.

Instead of trying to fill the emptiness with drugs, alcohol, TV, computer games or anything else, l ook within, and spend time with yourself. It may feel uncomfortabl e at first, but the more you practise devoting time and energy to yourself and caring for yourself, the l ess present those empty feelings will be.30．Whether you are experiencing difficult relationships, l osses, or feeling a lack of purpose or meaning, you are worthy of a fulfilling and meaningful life.A．Control your current feelings.B．Spend time with yourself every day.C．How do you handle your emptiness?D．Don’t beat yourself up for feeling this way.E.Have I been judging myself or comparing myself to others?F.It’s important to acknowl edge and accept your feelings of emptiness.G.Do you spend too much time on filling your emptiness?Can you move 11 minutes a day? You’ll live longer if you d o There is no d enying that 2020 has reduced activity levels. Between the Zoom meetings, Netflix binges and virtual cocktail hours, increased sitting is a pandemic-driven reality for many.31．But there is good news! Despite all that sed entary time, with as little as 11 minutes of movement a day, you can increase your life span, a recent study has found.32．It's true; past studies, including a popular study from 2016, had originally put the daily exercise target at 60 to 75 minutes for mortality benefits. However, that study was based on self-reported data, which this latest study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found to be flawed due to people misremembering their actual activity levels.Taking a more objective approach, scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their research on the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time. The results showed that participants who exercised 35 minutes per day saw the biggest statistical difference on life span. Yet just 11 minutes of moderate exercise — equivalent to a brisk walk — still had a noticeabl e positive impact. 33．Here is a way to consider—4 sets of a 3-minute body-weight exercise sequence. Depending on the exercises you use, you may go at a slightly different pace during each round, making it about 11 minutes. When sel ecting your exercises, try to pick a sequence of movements that will equate to a full-body workout of mod erate effort. 34．Ideally, do a combo, determining the number of repetitions for each exercise based on your fitness level and maintaining a three-minute sequence for the time frame.See how easy it is to fit in 11 minutes of daily exercise? You can do it. 35．Although no one can give you a do-over of 2020, you can make up for lost time by adding a littl e more to your life span.A．In fact, you owe it to yourself after getting through this past year.B．And studies have reveal ed the great health risks of prol onged sitting.C．The simpl est way is with a walk outside or on the treadmill at your local gym.D．A l ower barrier makes it easier to get even the most inactive among us moving.E.You might wond er about the hour-per-day measurement you've been hearing about for years.F.What's more, both time frames were positively impactful, regardl ess of the amount of sitting.G.Avoid d oing only upper-body movements unless you do l ower-body movements the next day.Go on the Safest TripWhil e travelling, there are many safety measures that all travellers should take, even if they’re heading out a nearby mountain for a camping trip, renting a seaside Airbnb, or choosing any other d estination. Advice is highly needed on everything from what to pack to how to protect yourself. 36．Don’t take the unfamiliar road. Whil e part of the joy of exploring nature is seeing new and beautiful views, if your road trip includes a hike, stay on the marked path. Never give in to your curiosity to hike off-trail and in unfamiliar or unmarked areas. “ 37．” Warned by Dr. Velimir Petkov.Pack cl othing. In the morning, when you set out on your adventure, your temperature will likely be comfortable. As the sun reaches its highest point, you’ll start to sweat inside your car. 38．That’s why experts reco mmend packing everything you need to stay comfortable, including clothing for different temperatures.Make sure you get enough sleep. While many people have difficulty sleeping, plenty rest is necessary before a long car ride. “Do not drive while you are f eeling sleepy. 39．” Petkov recommended. He also noted that even if you get the benefits of seven to eight hours of sl eep, a little coffee can never hurt.Protect your skin. You may not consid er the sun whil e sitting in the car. The sunlight can go right through wind ow glass and cause you to burn. 40．Bahar Schmidt, found er of Eluxit Travel Agency, recommends making more efforts to protect your skin with sunscreen anddrugs against insects.A．You could get l ost, injured or both.B．It is a wise choice to wear strong shoes.C．You woul d never enjoy the views without the tips.D．If you feel like a rest, pull over and take a short break.E.And at night, certain areas experience a sharp drop in degrees.F.And mosquitoes are also drawn when you’re outd oors at night.G.We spoke with travel experts for safety guide to getting on the road.When you go to a new school, you might worry that you d on't know anyone or that you won't fit in. 41．Learn how to introduce yourself. Starting a conversation with someone new can be difficult, especially if you feel shy. Once you break the ice, however, you may find yourself in the middle of a bunch of friends. Choose someone to introduce yourself to. 42．And then talk about something related to school, such as, “When is the homework due?”43．Go to a park in the school neighborhood before school starts and maybe you can meet someone from your new school. If you make a new friend or two in advance, you won't feel so alone when you go to the first day of school.Participate in activities. Sign up for activities like sports or chess club. This will put you into smaller groups with peopl e who have similar interests as yours. 44．You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.Set goals for yourself.

Some even feel unprepared and approach these days with a sense of dread. This feeling is often made worse by all those wishing you luck and insisting that you enter the arena fill ed with confidence and positive thinking. 46．In fact, it’s a sign of intelligence.You may notice that stud ents with the l owest expectations often got the best results and vice versa. This makes total sense. Because you will focus on the subject when you have l ow expectation. 47．Conversely, if yo u d on’t know a lot about a subject, you might think it’s easier than it is, only to be struck dumb in panic when the questions actually are hard.Nancy Cantor is a researcher that rejects this culture of unbridled optimism. She believes defensive pessimism is a good strategy, for people with low expectations prepare themselves for possible failure and are therefore motivated to work hard to avoid that failure.48．In 1991, the great footballing nation of Austria was humiliated in the European Cup by amateurs from the Faroe Islands—a group of fishermen who had never played football before. Before kickoff, the Austrian manager was on TV predicting that they woul d win the game 15:0. But they l ost. 49．This actually fired them up, giving them the courage to charge at their professional opponents, who were l eft dumb.Great football managers never underestimate the opposition and neither shoul d you. If you’re feeling anxious going into the exams, that’s a good sign, not a bad one. 50．A．The history of sport bears this out.B．Pessimism is often seen as a negative trait in sports.C．The fishermen had zero expectation of winning, and they had nothing to l ose. D．Actually, it’s OK to feel pessimistic going into a big exam or other difficult situations.E.The more you know about a subject, the l ess likely you are to over-estimate your ability.F.So, just believe the confid ence for success comes from accepting the possibility of failure.G.Pessimism can drive someone to make full use of their stress to help them become optimistic.Who shoul d you be friends with?For International students, if you are going to the USA for the next four years, acad emics (学术水平) should not be the only thing you think about. To quote(引述) Hamlet: “To be, or not to be (surrounded by people from your home country): that is the question.To BEInstant friendshipThere is nothing like the instant connection with friends from your country while abroad.You d on’t have to explain cultural references, and that makes everything easier. 51．Why woul d you come to a compl etely different country if you are going to just hang out with the exact same people?Sense of communityIn some universities, if you have friends from your country, you can organise events to celebrate some of your country’s festivities. 52．NOT TO BEYou’re learning EnglishOne of the main reasons to study abroad is to l earn a language through complete immersion(沉浸). 53．Learning from different culturesLearning from different cultures will give you a new way of seeing the world. 54．No matter where they come from, students have similar questions and d oubts, so you won’t be alone.55．Who should you be friends with?

And we know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is trulyunique. Usually we judge a person from his personal facial features. 61．Governments, empl oyers and security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technol ogy. 62．Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a cr owd of thousands of people. All that’s required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.63．It is convenient, easy to operate and it also relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in the rare event that it doesn’t, for whatever reason, recognize the user’s face.There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. 64．The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go. Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding(守法的) citizens under constant watch is disturbing too many.In the age of the coronavirus and the wid espread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a person’s id entity. 65．That could affect how d ependable it is.A．The major concern is that it threatens privacy.B．The cameras may need to be replaced frequently.C．This all ows them to quickly confirm an individual’s identity.D．Personal facial recognition protection has strengths and weaknesses.E.In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data.F.And now we’ve invented machines used to recognize faces for different purposes.G.In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion.Your education is very important. 66．By working on making a good impression each day, you can enjoy a positive relationship with your teacher.Greet your teacher with a smile.

Though you may see some of your classmates being disrespectful (不尊敬的) to your teacher, try very hard not to become one of these people. Your teacher has been hired to guid e your education and to help you learn important knowledge that will be useful to you in life. Respect this and d o not argue with them. 69．Foll ow instructions.

Instead, try to build your own story. For exampl e, you can be driven to a store 20 times and still not know the road. 71．.Go over a piece of information repeatedly. Most of the information we absorb in a typical day is not only forgettable. 72．. Do you really want to remember forever what all the strangers you passed today on the sid ewalk were wearing? So how does your brain know whether something should be put into your l ong-term memory or not? Repeat it over a period of time!73．. If you try to go over it too late, the original memory will be nowhere to be found. Butif you wait only a few minutes to review it, it's too quick for you to signal your brain to put it into long-term memory.74．. Flashcards, whether they're physical or virtual, are a great way to do memory practice because they help space out attempts to remember, and you can come back to them easily periodically(周期性地).But you have to foll ow certain rules in order to make better use of the flashcards. The No.1 rule is that you need to guess the answer before l ooking at the card. Even if you think it is hopeless for you to remember, try.75．.Wait l ong enough between practice sessions. You have to make it a struggle to remember.A．Actually, it should be quickly forgottenB．The second rule is that you need to make it hardC．Used in the right way, flashcards can be of great helpD．Therefore, repetition is very important for l ong-term memoryE.But once or twice you try to drive there and you'll know the road by heartF.Burning an idea into memory by going over it again and again in a single sessionG.The key for repetition is that you can neither wait too long nor try to review it too fastUseful Memory StrategiesForm associations between new and remembered information. If you can link new ideas with previously established ones, then you can increase the chance that new memories will be formed. Try coming up with a familiar picture, song, joke, or rhyme that you can associate with the new material. 76．Repeat new facts as soon as you come across them. It may be boring, but simply repeating new information over and over in different ways will help it stick in your brain better, especially if you space out the repetition over time.77．Then speak the d efinition out loud a coupl e times, and try writing it down once or twice.Teach someone else the information you’re trying to learn. 78．Find a classmate orco-worker who needs to l earn the same information, form a study group, and take turns teaching each other different concepts. Alternately, ask your friends if they’re willing to learn。

七选五名校题目专练Passage 1(2017·河北省“五个一名校联盟”高三教学质量监测)How to Be CreativeMost of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. __1__ The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.1．Get out of your comfort zoneWe eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. __2__ In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.2．Try different thingsIf you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. __3__ Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.3．__4__Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. __5__ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.A. Take actionB. Seek several optionsC. Think from the other person's point of view.D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.E. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.F.

Upon graduation, Tom considered positions in business, but the world didn't excite him. Instead, he went back to an idea that was inspired by his brother Andrew, who has autism (自闭症). So Tom built Rising Tide Car Wash, which employs people with autism. The family business provides people of all ability levels with an independent life.__4__Skills often get people hired. Research has shown that people who find fulfilling work are good at what they do and have mastered a particular craft or talent. __5__ This was the case for Deepa Subramaniam, who worked as a product manager for 10 years. During her 10th year, she was eager for a career change. She realized many organizations could use her particular skills.

A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.__3__ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. __4__ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.

Placing a piece of paper under the line helps you to move smoothly from one line to the next.Read aloud.__3__ If you must remain silent, whisper the words to yourself, or mouth the words, and say them in your head. It is important that you actually hear the sounds, even if you only hear them in your imagination. This multisensory approach allows you to see, hear, and feel what you are reading. Reading aloud should help you stay focused, understand better and remember what you are reading.__4__If you are thinking about what is important enough to write down, you will pay more attention to the reading. __5__ It will also help you process the main point of the passage and improve the possibility that you will remember things. In addition, the notes you take are a record of the passage that you can refer back to if you do forget elements.A. Take notes.B. Highlight text.C. Trace your place.D.
