    How to Study Smarter, Not Harder
    Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:
    Recite As You Study
    Reciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.
    Take Fuller Notes
    Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.
    Study the Middle
    The best time to review is soon after you’ve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.
    Sleep On It
    Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It’s easier to remember material you’ve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you’ve fallen asleep.
    Combine Memory and Understanding
    There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.
    The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.
    小题1: You can notice your mistakes by _______.
    A．saying things out aloudB．taking notes
    C．studying the middleD．sleeping on it
    小题2:When taking notes, you should _______ to better help you with reading.
    A．underline important notes
    B．write notes in your own words
    C．take down every detail
    D．write as quickly as possible
    小题3:The writer advises you to _______ as it is easier for you to remember material.
    A．study after a period of activity
    B．do some exercise after studying
    C．study as soon as you get up
    D．study before going to sleep
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?
    A．Thinking about an idea in different ways.
    B．Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.
    C．Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.
    D．Going back to what first made you confused and start again.

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:C

    You do not need every word to understand the meaning of what you read. In fact, too much emphasis (强调) on separate words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension.
    First, any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak or read aloud, is inefficient. If you point to each word as you read, or move your head, or form the words with your lips, you read poorly. Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency (效率). One is "saying" each word silently by moving your tongue or throat; another is "hearing" each word as you read.
    These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago. The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together. Your reading purpose is quite different, which is to understand meaning.
    It has been supposed that up to 75% of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for expressing the meaning. The secret of silent reading is to find out those key words and phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for grammatical completeness.
    An efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud. He takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time. If he “says" or "hears" words to himself, they are selected ones, said for emphasis.
    小题1:This passage is mainly about ______.
    A．improving eye movement
    B．reading more widely
    C．changing poor reading habits
    D．reading as fast as you can
    小题2:Saying each word to yourself as you read _____.
    A．improves comprehension
    B．increases reading speed
    C．gives too much emphasis
    D．reduces reading efficiency
    小题3:Your reading purpose should be _____.
    A．to understand all the words
    B．to make fewer eye movements
    C．to understand meaning
    D．to understand the grammatical structures
    小题4:While reading, efficient readers usually _____.
    A．move their eyes quickly
    B．take in whole phrases or thought units
    C．point at key words
    D．read only important points for speed

    Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Some­times, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the back of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫）on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so be­cause they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
    Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The rela­tionship develops until the two partners cannot do with­out each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚）of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustman”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
    小题1:Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _________.
    A．they can eat its parasites
    B．they consider the sheep as their shelter
    C．they enjoy traveling with the sheep
    D．they find the position most comfortable
    小题2:The underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refers to _______.
    A．birds and parasitesB．sheep, birds and parasites
    C．parasites and sheepD．birds and sheep
    小题3:It can be learnt from the text that the coral depends on the plants for ________.
    A．comfortB．lightC．oxygenD．food
    小题4:What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
    A．Some plants depend on each other for food.
    B．Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
    C．Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.
    D．Some animals live better together.

    In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?
    Locusts （蝗虫）are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies（敌人）. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops （庄稼）. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
    Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies （蝴蝶）and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
    Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts（行为）? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
    小题1:According to the passage, most soil insects ______
    A．do not have bright colors
    B．change their colors with the soil
    C．do not live in a dark and wet environment.
    D．eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees.
    小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the passage?
    A．繁殖B．产卵C．觅食D．生存
    小题3:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Some insects and animals have different skills.
    B．Some insects and animals are cleverer than we think.
    C．Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves.
    D．Some insects and animals can get used to the environment easily.

    A successful scientist is generally a good observer.  He makes full 36  of the facts he observes.  He doesn’t accept ideas which are not  37   on obvious facts,  and therefore refuses to accept authority as the only   38   for truth.  He always  39    ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.
    The rise of    40    science may perhaps be considered to    41   as far back as the    42    of Roger Bacon,  the wonderful philosopher of Oxford,  who live    43    the years 1214 and 1292.  He was probably the first in the Middle    44    to suggest that we must learn science    45    observing and experimenting on the things around us,  and he himself    46   many important discoveries.
    Galileo,  however,  who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642),  was the greatest of several great men,     47    in Italy,  France,  Germany,  or England,  began by    48    to show how many important    49    could be discovered by observation.  Before Galileo,  learned men believed that large bodies fell more    50    towards the earth than small ones,     51    Aristotle said so.  But Galileo,  going to the    52     of the leaning Tower of Pisa,  let fall two  53    stones and proved Aristotle was wrong.  It was Galileo’s    54    of going direct to Nature,  and proving our    55    and theories by experiment,  that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.

    The State Council declared Wednesday it would restart China's nuclear power program, ending the hiatus（中断）in nuclear construction since Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster last year.
    China has been the most courageous country in building nuclear power, with the largest number of plants currently under construction. Nuclear power is facing a tough time in developed countries. The Japanese public is demanding the closure of all the country's nuclear power plants. China is at the forefront of nuclear power development. But it has been forced into this position.
    Rapid economic development coupled with improvements in people's life both demand more electricity. It is impossible to exploit fossil resources forever as the supply of coal, oil and natural gas is limited. China has no choice but to develop nuclear power.
    China must be the safest user of nuclear power. It should become a leading country in developing nuclear power technologies and increasing the world's knowledge of nuclear power. 
    It needs to do at least two things. First, it needs to promote safety in nuclear power plants, based on the technologies of the West. The former Soviet Union, the US and Japan all had severe nuclear accidents, proving there are risks. China should try to remove these risks.
    Second, China should establish effective communication mechanisms（机制）between the government, power plants and the public. It's wrong to think the government can control every aspect of nuclear power plant construction.
    The opposition to nuclear power program in developed countries has prevented them from building new plants, but they already have many. These governments are reluctant to close these plants despite strong opposition, because they cannot find better substitutes. 
    Nuclear power only occupies 1.8 percent of China's current electricity grid（输电网）, much lower than the proportion in many developed countries. China's nuclear power plan should introduce the advantages of the technologies of other countries and also be creative in providing security. Its space technology is not the most advanced, but its launch safety measures have proven to be among the best.
    China's high-profile high-speed railway development has drawn a lot of controversy, as will the active attitude towards developing nuclear power. But China cannot just copy what the developed countries have done. The development of nuclear power must be unique to China and it must be a ground-breaking success. But now, the real test lies ahead.
    小题1:In the third paragraph the writer focuses on ______.
    A．the reason why China is to develop nuclear power
    B．the difficulty China has in developing nuclear power
    C．the measures China will take to develop nuclear power
    D．the benefits China will have by developing nuclear power
    小题2:What attitude do people in developed countries have towards nuclear power program?
    A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Indifferent.D．Objective.
    小题3:. If the Chinese government is to develop nuclear power, it needs to ______.
    A．copy exactly what the developed countries have done
    B．depend entirely on domestic scientists and technologies
    C．avoid people’s involvement in nuclear power plant construction
    D．do everything in its power to guarantee safety in nuclear power plants
    小题4:What is the future of China’s nuclear power program according to the text?
    A．It will be unique but can hardly pass too many tests.
    B．It will be full of controversy but carried out firmly.
    C．It will be on a smooth way to a ground-breaking success.
    D．It will receive much opposition from developed countries.

    Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of years. It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew (肌腱). And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
    Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch (缝合) in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.
    Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
    American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howe’s machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
    Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle (脚踏板) to power his machine. This improvement left the sewer’s hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical. It could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
    However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement (侵犯). Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties (版税). In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.
    小题1:Barthelemy Thimonnier’s garment factory was burned down because __________.
    A．people did not know how to put out the fire
    B．Elias Howe thought Thimonnier had stolen his invention
    C．the sewing machines couldn’t work finally
    D．workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire
    小题2:Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elias Howe a lifetime of royalties?
    A．Because the judge was against Singer for his unfriendly attitude.
    B．Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
    C．Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
    D．Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
    小题3:Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A．A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
    B．The Case between Howe and Singer
    C．Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine
    D．The Early History of the Sewing Machine

    A research found that people shown silent videos of piano competitions could pick out the winners more often than those who could also hear the music. It underlines the importance of our sense of vision, say scientists. Their study concludes that the best predictor of a winner’s musical performance was the visible passion they displayed, followed closely by their uniqueness and creativity.
    Chia-Jung Tsay, from University College London, UK, is the study’s author and herself a concert pianist. She was interested in how music was judged and found that even professional musicians were unaware of how much they were using visual information over sound. “For the last two decades, I’ve taken part in various competitions. Through this experience, I found that depending on what type of evaluations were used, the results might vary widely. This led me to wonder about how much visual information really affects these important decisions,” she explained.
    More than 1,000 participants in the study were given samples of either audio, silent video or video with sound, and asked to rate the top three finalists from 10 international classical music competitions. The actual competition winners were only correctly identified by those who were randomly assigned(分配) the silent videos.
    Dr Tasy said the findings were quite surprising, especially because both trained musicians and those without training had stated that sound was most important for their evaluation. “Regardless of levels of expertise, we still seem to be led primarily by visual information, even in this field of music,” she said. “Classical music training is often focused on improving the quality of the sound, but this research is about getting to the bottom of what is really being evaluated at the highest levels of competitive performance. She added, “We must be more mindful of our inclination(倾向) to depend on visual information at the expense of the content that we actually value as more relevant to our decisions.”
    小题1:According to the study, who would most probably win a piano competition? 
    A．One who plays with great passion.
    B．One who plays unique music.
    C．One who plays creatively.
    D．One who has a sense of vision.
    小题2:The participates in the study were asked to__________.
    A．watch classical music competitions
    B．assign the silent videos
    C．pick out the best three competitors
    D．decide who the winner is
    小题3:What probably led Dr Tsay to carry out the study?
    A．Her love for music.
    B．Her desire to explore.
    C．Her experience as a competitor.
    D．Her curiosity in musical education.
    小题4:Where does this text probably come from?
    A．A text book.B．A sports magazine.
    C．A story book.D．A science website.

    Going green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the tow of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
    On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
    Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
    Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.
    小题1:What might be the best title for the passage?
    A．Going Green.B．Protecting the Planet.
