Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler and dont forget a bottle of water!According to a study held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10%.Scientists in UK did the study on 448 students. The students were studying for different degrees at the University of East London. Only 25% of them entered the exam hall with water.Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought water with them got better grades by 2% to10%.Scientists also predicted the students scores according to their normal schoolwork. They wrote down their possible scores on paper before exams.It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also reduce anxiety (焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances.“Whatever the explanation is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的) with water during exams,” one of the scientists said.So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.

If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry.Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声). It tells you that someone is calling you. Now, there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子铃声)”.Mosquitotone has a special sound. Only children and teenagers can hear it. As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率). As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but someone of 20 or older cant.But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone. One British students phone uses mosquitotone. In class, the students phone rang. The 22-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy. “I heard that. You know the rule：no mobile phone in class. ”Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone. Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, “Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing. I may use it for pleasure, but not in class. Its unfair(不公平的) to the teachers！”What do parents think of mosquitotone？“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters,” says Connie Neeson, 44. “Think about it. Youre watching a film and someones mobile phone rings. Mosquitotone is good because many people dont hear it. However, it also has a bad influence（影响） on their study if students use it in class. ”（1）Mosquitotone works because _. A . it is very loudB . it has no soundC . it has a beautiful soundD . it is mainly for children and teenagers.（2）Which of the following about Jerry Jones is TRUE? A . He likes watching movies.B . He is a high school teacher.C . He thinks mobile phones are helpful.D . He refuses to use mosquitotone in class.（3）The 22-year-old teacher felt unhappy because the student _. A . was late for classB . didnt do his homeworkC . couldnt answer her questionD . was using a mobile phone in class（4）Connie Neeson thinks that mosquitotone _. A . has no bad influenceB . is unfair to the teachersC . has its advantage and disadvantageD . cant be used in any public place（5）The writer wrote this passage mainly to introduce _.

But cities like Shanghai are trying to bring the old phone booths to life.Shanghai will make changes to 263 phone booths in Xuhui District. The Library Booth is one of the six new kinds of booths, offering 60 booths for people to borrow and read. Another kind allows users to listen to audiobooks( 有声书)and even record their own voices.Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. London cares about them even more, because the red booths have long been a special scene in London since the 1930s when they were painted all red. In recent years London has come up with many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. The UK company British Telecom has added screens and free WiFi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and weather reports. The company also allows people to rent(租)some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than 1,500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, mini-cafes, art museums and even shower rooms.In New York City, three phone booths in Time Square are turned into places for immigrant(移民) voices. When visitors pick up the phone, they can listen to oral(口述) histories of immigration from the newest New Yorkers. They can also open the books inside the booth to know more about the storytellers. Or they can share a part of their own stories if they wish.Brazil made phone booths works of art. Sao Paulo paired 100 artists with 100 phone booths. Some artists painted on the booths, others made them sculptures- one was shaped like a brain and another wore a pair of shoes.Phone booths are finding creative ways to live on. Will they succeed? Only time will tell._六、 单词拼写。 (共1题；共5分)24. （5分）根据句意和汉语提示写出单词, 完成句子。（1）He spent five minutes _(描述)what cranes look like.（2）Come to the front, and you can see the words more _ (清晰地).（3）A number of foreign _ (tourist, traveller)come to China to visit the Great Wall every year.（4）She can speak _ ( the best) English after studying in the UK for some time.（5）- Do you know where he lives?- Sorry, I dont know his _, either.七、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)25. （5分）近日，你对本班40名同学就“What will you do during the summer vacation? ”进行了调查（结果见下面图表）。请你据此用英语写一篇短文，在英语课上进行汇报并谈谈你的想法。 注意：文章必须包括图表中的所有要点，可适当增加细节；你的想法至少两条；词数：80-100词；短文首句仅供选择使用，不计入总词数。参考词汇：go to summer school上暑假班Recently, I have done a survey about what activities my classmates will do during this summer vacation.
