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 (机会) 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 to us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be to blame (责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write, they have to remember the things. Since they cannot write them down in a small notebook, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories. Therefore, their memory is being exercised the whole time. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people：practise remembering things as other people do. （1）Someone cant have a good memory if _. A . he cant read or writeB . he doesnt use his memoryC . his parents dont have a good memoryD . he doesnt use his arms or legs for some time（2）If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _. A . you cant use them any moreB . they will become strongerC . they become weak but they will slowly become strong againD . they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again（3）Which of the following is TRUE? A . Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs.B . A good memory comes from less practice.C . Dont learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory.D . Your memory becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.（4）The writer wants to tell us _. A . how to use our arms or legsB . how to read and writeC . how to have a good memoryD . how to learn from the people18. （8分）阅读理解 Picture the scene: Its midnight. Youre very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldnt, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late night eating can also have a bad influence on our brainsit might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that latenight eating may affect(影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory, DawnLon, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles said, we believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans for two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep.The mice received the same amount of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that when the mice were put in the room again hose mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didnt remember.So think twice before the midnight snack it might be bad for more than your weight.（1）What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to? A . Studying for long.B . A nice pie.C . A new stud.D . Latenight eating.（2）For the study, the researchers need to _. A . check the brains of the mice before the test startedB . feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleepC . keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the timeD . let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories（3）According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE? A . a recent study shows late eating affects weight.B . What we eat can affect learning and memory.C . The mice that ate during sleeping hours didnt remember.D . The mice that ate during usual hours didnt remember.（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A . Eating snacks affects memoryB . Late eating hurts brainC . Never stay up lateD . Keep away from snacks19. （8分）阅读理解 How do you light up the night sky? The answer is by using electricity. But did you know that nature can glow (发光), too?Scientists have found many glowing living things. Most of them live in the ocean. Some use their lights to talk to each other. Others use them to hunt, to mate (交配) or to protect themselves. The vampire squid (幽灵蛸), for example, uses a cloud of light to scare enemies.Scientists around the world are looking at this kind of light for new ideas. In 2013, the US company Gleaux said it has created the worlds first light-producing plant, the Daily Mail reported. It is a genetically-modified (转基因的) plant. It can glow like a firefly.Alexander Krichevsky, the companys founder (创始人), and other scientists hope that in the future, glowing plants could replace lamps and glowing trees could light up highways. Krichevsky also hopes the technology could be used in farming. Farmers could know when their crops need water or are ready to be picked if they glow.While Gleaux is working on glowing plants, the French company Glowee is trying to use glowing bacteria (细菌) to light up shop windows and street signs. Its the same type of bacteria that cause a type of squid to light up, New Scientist Online reported.Our goal is to change the way we produce and use light, said Glowee founder Sandra Rey. We want to help reduce the 19 percent of electricity consumption (消耗量) that is used to produce light.（1）Which of the following is TRUE about glowing animals? A . They use electricity to light up the night sky.B . Some of them use their light to talk to each other.C . They only live in the deep ocean.D . They can collect light from nature.（2）According to Krichevsky, _ in the future. A . the worlds first light-producing plant will be createdB . glowing plants will be used as lampsC . crops will be able to talk to farmers by glowingD . electricity could light up shop windows（3）Whats the purpose of Glowees research on glowing bacteria? A . To compete with the US company Gleaux.B . To create the brightest light in the world.C . To change the way we produce and use light.D . To help produce more electricity in the future.（4）What is the best title of the passage? A . How to light up the skyB . Plants light our livesC . The reason for saving electricityD . The way to produce light20. （8分）阅读理解 Learn English in New ZealandLearn English in New Zealand at Language Schools New Zealand (LSNZ).
