A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London, may be of help to you. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoon.The researchers did a study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored on average (平均) 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon.In history, students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, it doesnt work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day.In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention, Dimitrova told The Telegraph.In the afternoon, it seems that this process (过程) slows down. On the other hand, history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion, she said.Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and repetition (重复), and they also need people to be creative. This is perhaps why the time of day has no influence on learning.Time-of-day effects such as those are believed to be connected to the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried out later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults.Dimitrova believes schools should take this chance to improve students performance just by changing their timetables.（1）History is better suitable for the afternoon because _. A . it is an easy subject for students to learnB . we are more creative and open to discussionC . our brains are better and fresher in the afternoonD . its easier to pay more attention to the work we are doing（2）It is believed that the time-of-day effects have something to do with a students _. A . ageB . hobbyC . body clockD . learning habit（3）Dimitrova is sure that _. A . it is better to learn history and math in the morningB . changing timetables properly can improve students performanceC . different times of a day have some influence on learning languagesD . it makes no difference for lower-ability students to learn math in the afternoon（4）What is the main idea of the passage? A . The good advice on managing a school.B . The importance of learning history and math.C . The good ways to get higher scores in history and math.D . The influence of timetables on history and math learning.4. （10分） Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today-a person who is new in a job.About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didnt have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.（1）According to the passage, a greenhorn means_ now.A . a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developedB . a soldier who has not had any experience in warC . a person who is new in a jobD . a man who doesnt have the skills to live in the country（2）The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is _.A . 未完成的B . 成熟的C . 青涩的D . 老练的（3）Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?A . If there werent the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.B . The expression “the Green Revolution” appeared several years agoC . Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grainsD . Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.（4）We can know from the passage that _.A . all growing plants is greenB . green is the most important color in natureC . a person with a green thumb can make plants grow wellD . the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years（5）The main idea of the passage is _.A . a greenhornB . a green thumbC . the Green RevolutionD . the word “green” and its story5. （8分）阅读下列短文，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。(B)Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of November in the U.S. and on the second Monday in October in Canada.For many Americans it is the most important (重要的) holiday apart from (除了) Christmas.

Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were no bigger than the cats. These small horses lived in the forest. The toes helped the horses run on the soft, wet ground.At first, it was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became very cold. Many trees could not live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Open fields took the place of forests. The sun made the ground dry and hard.Horses began to change, too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry, hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time, horses had only one hard toe on each foot.
