Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can  1    swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still   2    away. A mother who has not   3   the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.

  One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:   4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the   5    of time we will remember it.

  In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and   6    ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but __7   .

  The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,   8    it may result in a passing grade, is not a   9    way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,   10   , is usually a good investment toward the future.

【解析】

试题分析:为什么你小时候学的儿歌、童谣到你长大了还不会忘记?那是因为overlearn的缘故。他有什么好处?突击学习法有什么不好?看完这篇文章,你就知道了。

1.B 词义比较常识运用前后照应 大人们都经常感到吃惊,小时候他们所学的东西,虽然其间从来没有操练过,也能够完好地记住。一个好些年里没有机会去游泳的人当他有回到水里的时候,他会仍然(still)象往常一样地游泳。only仅仅, 只不过;hardly几乎不;still依然,仍然,还,表示原有状态的持续;even甚至,表示过分程度。注意后句中的still,此句与后句结构相仿。

2.B 词义比较词汇用法常识运用 几十年后他仍然可以蹬上自行车把车子骑(ride)走。drive开车,驾驶,通常指驾驶马车、和机动车辆(如汽车等);travel旅行,游历,移动;ride骑(自行车),乘坐(汽车、公共汽车,马背等);move动, 移动,

3.C 词义比较逻辑推理 当母亲的好些年里没有回想(think about)那些词语了,能够教女儿"Twinkle, twinkle, little star"开头的小诗,也能够背诵灰姑娘或白雪公主的故事。think about 考虑, 回想;care for关怀, 照顾;show up揭露, 露出, 露面;bring up教育, 培养。

4. A 语句连贯词义比较 before在...之前,表示时间关系;once一旦,如果……就,表示条件关系;until到...为止,直到...才,表示时间关系;unless如果不, 除非,表示条件关系。

5.C 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 一旦我们学习了某样东西,额外的、附加的学习就会提高我们记忆它的时间长度(length)。常识告诉我们,时间久了,记忆会变得模糊,其精确性(accuracy)无法保证。length长度,时间的长短;accuracy精确性, 正确度;unit个体,单位;limit 界限, 限度。

6.C 词义辨析 小时候,我们只是不停地听,不停地去想起并记住(remind)那些小诗和孩提的童谣。remind使人想起,使人记起,提醒,使某人不忘记;inform通知, 告知;warn警告,通知;recall回忆, 回想。

7. C 前后照应词义比较 我们不仅仅在学习,而且同时也在附加学习(overlearn)着。通过前面的分析,这里点题。recite(背诵)也是一种学习,它包括在learn之中。research研究, 调查)和improve(改善, 改进)文意不符。

8.B 逻辑推理语句连贯 虽然(though)突击学习可能使你通过考试。though(虽然,即使)表示让步关系;so因而,所以,表示因果关系;if如果,表示条件关系;after在……之后,表示时间关系。

9.A 逻辑推理词义比较 附加学习的规律告诉我们,突击学习是学习学校课程中便利的(convenient),有时也需要的(demanding),且快速的(swift)的方法,但他不是令人满意的(satisfactory)方法。

10. B 逻辑推理语句连贯 突击学习可以让学生学得好以便能够通过考试,但学生很可能不久就会忘得一干二净。而(on the other hand)附加学习则是对未来的良好的投资。at most至多,顶多;by the way在途中, 顺便;on the other hand另一方面,表示对立关系。in the end最终,终于。

考点:考查科普类完型填空

点评:本文分析了突击学习的优点和缺点。从本篇完型我们可以看出完形的考查趋势。突出考察学生词汇与结构,词汇与结构这部分既是整个考试的基础,也是本题考察的重点部分,在以后的复习中,要特别重视词汇与语法的复习,重视自己基础的夯实与提高,只有这样,才能以不变应万变,在高考中中立于不败之地。另外在答题注意上下文理解,同时结合逻辑推理进行答题,题目就能迎刃而解了。

What can be found in the two recent studies?
One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards.Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study, which appeared last month in the journal Science.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma.The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group.The students played in groups of four.Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally.But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation (合作).The groups that rewarded most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded least.And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings.The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment.
The other study referred to children, which was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse.Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups.More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested.More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine.The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test.Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.The study says the IQs ?or intelligence quotients—of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were.In the older group, the difference was almost three points.Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire' worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation.Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children.He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.
72.We can learn from the passage that ____.
A.the first study began last month at Harvard University in America
B.the Prisoner's Dilemma is a game that can teach you how to be cooperative
C.the study on the IQs of children was carried out by Professor Murray Strauss
D.Professor Mallie has done lots of researches on family violence
73.What study method was adopted in the two recent studies according to the passage?

Almost 50 percent of older adults were introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild. "Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet," according to the report.

Parents who feel disappointed at their teenagers’ failure to pay attention in class, and inability to sit quietly long enough to finish homework or plan ahead, should take solace. Their children are not being lazy or careless, according to new research.

The research has found that teenagers’ brains continue developing far longer into adulthood than we used to think. Teens may look like young adults but their brain structure is similar to that of much younger children.

“It is not always easy for teens to pay attention in class without letting their minds wander, or to ignore distractions from their younger brothers or sisters when trying to solve a maths   problem,” said Dr Iroise Dumon-theil. “But it’s not the fault of teenagers that they can’t pay attention and are easily distracted. It’s to do with the structure of their brains. Teens simply can’t think as well as an adult.”

The research showed that the brain of a teenager works less effectively than that of an adult. “We knew that the front of the brain of teens functioned in a chaotic  (混乱的) way but we  didn’ t realize it continued until the late 20s or early 30s,” said Dr Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, who led the research.

Chaotic thought patterns are a result of teenagers’ brains containing too much grey matter — the cell bodies and connections which carry messages within the brain. As we age, the amount of grey matter in our brain reduces.

“What our research has shown is that there is simply too much going on in the brains of teens,” said Blakemore. “The result is that their brain energy and resources are wasted and their decision-making process is badly influenced. Adults, on the other hand, have less grey matter. This means that the brain works far more effectively.”

1.The underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 1 may mean _____.

A. notice           B.medicine          C. comfort          D.action

2.When making decisions, _____.

A. teens’ brains continue to do much needless work

B. the grey matter in young children’s front brain becomes active

C. people are not likely to be distracted until their late 30s

D. adults are more independent than teens

3.What is the effect of having too much grey matter?

A. It makes us always feel disappointed.

B. It makes us more intelligent.

C. It had a bad effect on the growth of teens.

D. It had a bad effect on decision-making.

4.What’s the text mainly about?

A. Teens have different brains from those of children.

B. Adults work more effectively than teens.

C. Grey matter makes teens unable to pay attention.

D. Brain energy is wasted in the brain’s activity.

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?

       A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

       Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity.The results were astonishing.

       About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

       More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

       This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.

       Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.

       "If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks."

       And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

       The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

1.What causes children in the UK to be obese?

       A.Eating ready meal                               B.Watching TV

       C.Doing Internet shopping                       D.Being lazy

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

       A.British people are too lazy to do anything.

       B.Internet shopping will do harm to your health.

       C.Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.

       D.People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.

3.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

       A.One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.

       B.People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.

       C.Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

       D.More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.

4.What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?

       A.basic                   B.serious                C.vital                    D.hard

5.All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except         

       A.Glasgow             B.Birmingham        C.Nuffield              D.Southampton

This is the age of being busy. Many of us live in busy places and have busy lives. Even the roads are busy as we try to get from here to there. Adults are busy going to jobs and taking care of their families. Kids are busy, too, going to school and doing a lot of homework after school and on weekends.

Busy isn’t bad, necessarily. If you are not busy enough you might be bored. But if you are too busy, you might break down. For example, if you have a soccer game that runs late on a school night and you haven’t eaten dinner or done your homework, that’s a not-so-fun kind of busy. We wanted to know what kids thought, so we did a kidsPoll about being busy with 882girls and boys aged 9 to 13.

Almost all of them said they felt stressed because they were too busy. About half said they felt this way once in a while or some of the time. But 17% said they felt this way most of the time and 24% said they felt this all the time! Oh dear, that’s no fun.

Only 4% of kids said they wanted less free time and 18% said they already had just the right amount. But, no big surprise, 61% of kids wish they had a lot more free time. If they had more time, most would spend it hanging out or playing with friends.

Often, adults plan large parts of a kid ’s day, especially during the school year. kids can’t tell their parents they’ll be skipping school(逃学) today to get more free time! But they can tell their parents they’d like to play a game or read a book during their free time instead of watching TV.

1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to _____.

A.Introduce the topic

B.Support the main idea

C.Raise the topic sentence

D.Attract the readers’ attention

2.By giving the example of a late soccer game, the writer intends to tell us______.

A.Being too busy is bad for the kids

B.It is no fun to be busy for the kids

C.Homework should go before gam.

D.Being busy may cause the kids to feel bored

3.According to the passage, the KidsPoll is done to carry out research on _____.

A.How kids arrange their free time

B.What kids think of being busy

C.How many kids felt stressed

D.What kids do with their study

4.From the passage, we can infer that the writer agrees kids can_____.

A.Spend their free time hanging or playing out

B.Get a lot more free time from their parents

C.Have a right amount of free time with permission

D.Get more free time from school work sometimes
