閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

A

If you’ve tried studying when you’re tired， you know that it can seem very impossible to do well.

A study of sleep in sparrows suggests the relationship between sleep and the ability to learn may be more complicated （復雜） than people knew.

Niels C · Rattenborg of the University of Wisconsin-Madison wanted to find out how the sparrows were able to deal with getting so much less sleep. He and his team brought eight wild birds into a lab and watched them for one year. They invented a game to check how well the birds could learn. In the game， the sparrows had to peck （啄） three buttons （按鈕） in a right order to get a food treat. The scientists discovered that the birds’ ability to learn the right button order depended on （依靠） two things： the time of year and the amount of sleep the birds had had.

During the migration （遷徙） season， the sparrows were restless at night and got much less sleep than usual. Even so， they were able to understand how to get the food quickly as if they’d had a regular night of sleep. Outside the migration season， they found the sparrows that got less sleep than usual had much more difficulty learning how to get the food treats than birds that had a regular sleep.

The results show that the sparrows can deal with much less sleep during the migration season than usual. If scientists can find out why， they may learn from sparrows and find ways of helping people deal with getting much less sleep. Until scientists fully understand the relationship between sleep and learning， it's better to get plenty of shut-eye when preparing for an exam.

26. What is the best title of the passage？

A. Sparrows Migration B. Sleep Lessons From Sparrows

C. How To Get A Good SleepD. How Sparrows Get A Food Treat

27. Why can sparrows get much less sleep during the migration season？

A. They eat more. B. The climate is better.

C. They can find enough food to eat.D. Scientists still don’t know the reason.

28. What do we learn from the passage？

A. We should sleep as little as sparrows do.

B. We should get enough sleep before an exam.

C. When tired， we should try to focus on（聚焦） our study.

D. When tired， we should check how we can sleep less than usual.

29. Which of the following best shows the structure （結構） of the passage？ （①②③④⑤= Para.（段落） 1，2，3，4，5）

30. The underlined word “shut-eye” in the last paragraph means________.

A. play B. break C. learning D. sleep

B

Do you suppose Darwin， one of the greatest scientists of all time， really did fools’（傻瓜的） experiments？ Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic（基礎的） that other people just thought they were foolish？

Sometimes， people think they already know the answer to a question or a problem. Sometimes， they really do know an answer， but without thinking they are important.

Charles Darwin didn’t just think he knew something. And， he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.

Charles Robert Darwin Suppose you drop pieces of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place， they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other pieces. What happens？ You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.

But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present day understandings of physics（物理學） ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek（古希臘的） physics.

The scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea， which we might think is foolish， can shake the foundations（基礎） of science.

31. “Sometimes， people think they already know the answer to a question or a problem.” This means that

_____ .

A. they have already told the answer

B. the question is so important that everyone should know the answer

C. they are ready to answer such a question or a problem

D. the question is simple enough for them to answer

32. The passage tells us that Charles Darwin _______.

A. was a great English scientist

B. always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult

C. thought even the simplest thing was important

D. didn’t get along well with others

33. The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means _____ .

A. throw away B. receive C. help with D. learn from

34. The writer of the passage tries to ________.

A. show us that Charles Darwin， Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world

B. draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things

C. prove that two sheets of paper， with the same size and shape， will fall at the same speed

D. draw our attention to everyday things around us

35. Which of the following is true？

A. Darwin really did fools’ experiments.

B. According to some people Darwin did some foolish experiments.

C. It is believed by all people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.

D. Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.

閱讀下面短文，根據短文內容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

Maybe you are not excellent at school. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so， however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how：

1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week， you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list， you should make a timetable. First your time for eating， sleeping， dressing， etc. then decide a good， regular time for studying. Don’t forget to give enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems， but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space， which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room， free of everything but school things. No games， radios， or television！ When you sit down to study， concentrate（全神貫注） on the subject.

3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

4. Study regularly. When you get home from school， go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher said in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day， read that material（材料） will become more meaningful， and you will remember it longer.

5. Develop a good attitude（態(tài)度） about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test， so don’t worry too much.

There are other ways that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

Are we ready for the Senior High School Entrance Examination？

How times flies！ It seemed that we began my grade three only a few months ago， but the Senior High School Entrance Examination is coming soon！ I find all the teachers speak more quickly in class now， and we don’t have enough time for after-school activities because of lots of homework and exams. Some students didn’t study hard before， but now they have realized the importance of the exam and have put all their effort into study. In the last month， I’ll listen carefully in class and pay more attention to details， and it’s also important for us to keep a balance between study and rest. I’m sure we will do well in the coming exam if we try our best！
