Play video games

Yes, you heard us. Get on that controller and spend a couple of hours playing your favorite video game.3 A recent study illustrated how these pastimes can help improve the functioning of various memory-associated regions in the brain. But don’t go overboard, too much of a good thing can be bad for you.

Eat your vegetables

This is a no-brainer since it’s a well-known fact eating vegetables can help keep you and your body healthy, and that includes your brain. Various research papers state that fruits and vegetables can help lower oxidative (氧化的) stress in your brain. 4

本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了幾種改善記憶力的方法。

1】考查段中句。上文提到:隨著年齡增長,人類大腦的記憶力會逐漸下降,持續(xù)的壓力和不健康的生活方式也會讓你的記憶力提前衰退。如果不懂得給大腦“保鮮”,就算是記憶策略也拯救不了你。下文提到:這些方法可以嘗試一下。由此可知,G 項(一些科學(xué)方法可以有效地改善你的記憶力。)能夠承接上文并與下文連接通順。故選G。

2】考查段中句。上文提到:久坐的生活方式也會導(dǎo)致記憶力喪失。下文提到:這對你的身心健康有益。因此D項(到戶外大汗淋漓地運動吧。)能夠承接上文并與下文連接通順。故選D。

3】考查段中句。上文提到:拿起游戲控制器,花幾個小時玩自己喜歡的視頻游戲。下文提到:打游戲有助于改善大腦中與記憶相關(guān)的各個區(qū)域的功能,對大腦有益。但要把握好度,游戲打多了反而會有壞處。因此A項(有時候這對大腦是有好處的。)能夠承接上文并與下文連接通順。故選A。

4】考查段尾句。上文提到:這是一個明擺著的事實:多吃蔬菜可以使你的身體保持健康,包括你的大腦。多篇研究論文指出,水果和蔬菜可以幫助降低大腦的氧化壓力。因此E項(它們也有助于保持健康的大腦功能。)能夠承接上文。故選E。

5】考查段首句。下文提到:強(qiáng)烈而持久的壓力,尤其是高水平壓力,很容易損害我們的記憶力和破壞我們的認(rèn)知能力。你可以通過冥想、散步或正念減壓療法來減壓。F項(放慢腳步,放松一下自己。)與下文連接通順。故選F

【題目】How to be a Good Listener

Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others. 1 Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone’s situation. If you want to know how to be a good listener, read on to get started.

1. Place yourself in other people’s shoes It’s easy to only consider the impact of the other person’s “telling” on you. But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person’s view. 2

2. Avoid comparing the person’s experiences to your own. You may think that the best thing you can do to really listen is to compare the person’s experiences to your own. But this type of thinking actually makes the person feel like you’re not really listening at all. 3 That means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation.

3. 4 Some people think that, when they’re listening, they should find a quick and easy solution to the person’s problem. According to the research, it is totally wrong to do so. Instead focus on absorbing everything the person is saying to you. Only after that can you really try to help.

4. Know what not to do. Knowing what to avoid when you’re trying to be a good listener can be almost as helpful as knowing what to do. If you want the speaker to take you seriously you’d better not interrupt in the middle of a point. 5 Make eye contact with the person so that he or she realizes that you are listening with interest.

A.Don’t try to help immediately.

B.Avoid saying “I” or “me” a lot.

C.Try to solve the person’s problem quickly.

D.Don’t try to change the subject even if it’s a little uncomfortable.

E.If so, you would see your way through the problems much faster.

F.Therefore you’d better listen to what the person is saying carefully.

G.It enriches your understanding and expands your capacity for empathy (同情).

【題目】 If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?

According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.

The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.

A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.

Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.

“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.

It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.

Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”

The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between two and 34.Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.

1The main subject talked about in this passage is_________.

A.science on learning a second language

B.man’s ability of learning a second language

C.findings that language learning can help brain power

D.language learning and maths study

2The last sentence of the second paragraph is intended to______.

A.say language learning is also a kind of physical labor

B.prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language

C.show the importance of using it when you learn a language

D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well

3We may know from the scientific findings that_______.

A.the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is

B.there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language

C.the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain

D.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time

One of the workers in Africa’s largest wildlife preserve said the last time an elephant in the Niassa Reserve 1 (record) killed by a poacher was on May 17, 2018.

“The drastic decline in poached elephants is owed to a new rapid-intervention police force,” said Joe Walston, 2 local official.

“ Any one of those things alone isn’t going to be 3 (success), which is why it has taken so long to be able to get 4 (we) to a point 5 we’ve been able to get poaching 6 control,” Walston told CNN.

7 (situate) in a remote region of northern Mozambique, the Niassa Reserve has seen thousands of animals killed in recent years. The rapid-intervention police force is 8 (well) armed than the reserved normal rangers and has 9 (right) to arrest suspected poachers. Walston said that the ability to make arrests is important to prevent poachers from 10 (come) to the reserve.

【題目】 A decade ago, colored lights danced around the living room on New Year's Eve and happy music was played. Upstairs, the children were asleep. But I wasn't feeling happy. In mid-December, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die. He had less than a year left, the doctors said.

In the years since that painful season, I have come to look back upon New Year's Eve as an ending and a beginning. New Year's Eve brings a halt to the endless commitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect.

New Year's Eve is full of possibility, and anticipation. What will be the surprising experiences and delightful successes in the coming year? But also, what disappointments are waiting for us in the next twelve months?

In many ways, New Year's Eve and the days that surround it are a line between past and future. That line is made up of a series of moments of transition that take us out of the old and into the new. Transition can be challenging for many of us. It's about letting go of the familiar and diving headlong (迅猛地)into the unfamiliar.

Just as, back then, I had to face letting go of the life I had led with my beloved husband and stepping into a new world as a widowed(喪偶的)mom. I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.

Last year at this time, I sat in a chair in southern France and drank in the stillness and beauty of the countryside around me. The three children and I had brought into this world talked and laughed around the table beside me as we enjoyed a lunch of bread and cheese.

I was filled with a sense of joy and I had a glowing (熱情洋溢的)heart that was full of hope. It was another ending and another beginning. May we all transition into the best of what lies ahead. May we all find happiness in this holiday season.

1What made the author unhappy on New Year's Eve a decade before?

A.The pressure she faced in her work.

B.The health problem her husband faced.

C.The information received from her family.

D.The relationship between her and husband.

2What does the underlined word "halt" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Stop.B.Beginning.C.Meaning.D.Tradition.

3What does the author think people should do at a new year?

A.Set challenging goals for the next year.

B.Break with daily routines and form a new habit.

C.Spend more time with family members.

D.Think about the past and get ready for the future.

4What is the author's attitude toward the future?

A.Calm.B.Indifferent.C.Doubtful.D.Expectant.

5What is the main purpose of the article?

A.To memorialize her husband.

B.To show how she got through a hard time.

C.To share her view of New Year's Eve.

D.To remind us that uncertainty is part of life.
