When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆 )  works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it.  When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错).  But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (责备 ) , and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook.  They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
小题1: Someone can’t have a good memory if _

D.A good memory comes from less practice.
小题4: Few people know that it is only _     if a friend has a poor memory.
A.his grandmother's faultB.his parents fault
C.his teachers’ faultD.his own fault

A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.
We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world. They don’t move; they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.
Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation(虫害), so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.
In this week’s Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.
The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害虫). To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子). One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.
They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.
It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.
小题1:The underlined “traced” in the fourth paragraph probably means _________ here.
A.reportedB.followed
C.doubtedD.developed
小题2:For scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?
①  Place the infested plant upwind.
②  Place the uninfested plant downwind.
③  Expose the downwind plants to the pest.
④  Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.
A.③①②④B.①④③②
C.④①②③D.④②①③
小题3:You can put the sentence “The researches also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants.” At the beginning of
A.Paragraph 3B.Paragraph 4
C.Paragraph 5D.Paragraph 6
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Communicating Plants and Terrible Diseases
B.Talking Plants and Friendly Warnings
C.Protecting Plants and Clear Information
D.Growing Plants and Mysterious Chemicals

The police find most criminals (罪犯) because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery (抢劫), the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison (监狱). They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.
Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crimes like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.
Everyone’s DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them his hair or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences .
根据上文内容判断正 ( T ) 误( F )
小题1:Usually the police find criminals because they use their computer.
小题2:The police do not usually ask criminals who are in prison about a crime because these criminals could not have done it.
小题3:The most useful evidences that criminals leave at the places of their crimes are things with their DNA in them.
小题4:Many criminals usually take something away only on their shoes after the crimes.
小题5:The story is about a bank robbery.

  Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.
Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.
One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.
The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.
Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.
Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (消沉).
The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.
These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.
小题1: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?
A.The environment.B.Mother’s sensitivity.
C.Education before birth.D.Their peers (同龄人)
小题2: What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?
A.To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.
B.To prove that babies can learn before they are born.
C.To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.
D.To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.
小题3: Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?
A.The children of women who did not suffer from depression.
B.The children of depressed but caring mothers.
C.The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.
D.The children with high communication abilities.
小题4: What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.
B.Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies’ intelligence.
C.A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.
D.Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.

  How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?
The sun is probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人) live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun as a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you can still know that when the sun shines, it’s day and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.
Some people live near the sea from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on the ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again
小题1: From the passage we can know there are _______ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.
A.3B.4C.5D.7
小题2:. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because________
A.they know very little about the sun
B.the sun there never goes down in winter
C.it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun
D.it has long dark winters and long light summers
小题3:. What does the underlined word “tides” mean in the passage?
A.洋流B.潮汐C.海啸D.波浪
小题4: In which page of newspaper can you probably read this passage?
A.NewsB.ScienceC.AdvertisementD.Sports
小题5: What is the best title for the passage?
A.Different Ways to Tell TimeB.How the Clock Was Invented
C.The Development of the ClockD.A Useful Machine to Tell Time
