Ⅲ.阅读理解
A bad Working Memory—the brain’s temporary storage box—may explain，
new research suggests，
why one child cannot read his or her history book and another gets lost in math. As many as 10 percent of schoolage children may suffer from poor working memory. British researchers said in a report last week，
yet the problem is rarely identified.
“You can think of working memory as a pure measure of your child’s potential. Many psychologists consider working memory to be the new IQ (智商)，
because we find that working memory is one of the most important predictors of learning ability，
” said Dr. Tracey Alloway of Britain’s Durham University.
Many children with poor working memory are considered lazy or dull. Working memory allows people to hold in their minds and deal with a few items，
such as telephone numbers，
over a short period of time. Alloway compares working memory to a box. For adults，
the basic box size is thought to be three to five items. It’s important，
therefore，
to put in the right things. Irrelevant (不相关的) information will clutter (混乱) working memory.
The question many researchers are struggling with is how to help children with this problem，
which appears to be closely related to a lack of attention.
“In children with learning difficulties，
it becomes a huge issue，
especially around middle school，
when the demands on working memory really grow，
” said Dr. Mel Levine，
cofounder of All Kinds of Minds，
a nonprofit organization in North Carolina that studies learning difficulties.
Memory training may help improve working memory. Alloway has a tool that allows teachers to assess (评定) the workingmemory capacity of children as young as 4； it has been used in 35 schools across Britain.
Levine’s organization trains teachers through a program called Schools Attuned，
which is working with several thousand schools across the United States，
Canada and Europe. While he is not sure working memory can be expanded，
Levine said children can be taught ways to do better in school.
31．Which of the following is a characteristic of working memory？
A．It has a limited capacity.
B．It is usually better in children than adults.
C．It improves with use.
D．It can cause a lack of attention.
32．According to the new research，
________.
A．the importance of working memory has been long recognized
B．working memory is becoming recognized as a factor in intelligence
C．laziness can weaken working memory
D．working memory helps people remember things forever
33．Which of the following may help improve a child’s working memory？
A．Expanding the brain’s storage box.
B．Remembering more things.
C．Training the memory.
D．Being reminded frequently.
34．According to the passage，
Dr. Mel Levine has ________.
A．invented tools to help improve a child’s working memory
B．founded an organization to train teachers to help students with this problem
C．identified the problem clearly
D．compared working memory to a box

课时作业(十二)
Ⅰ.1.B for good永久地；do
sb good对某人有好处；It is no good doing so.那样做没有用，以上三种表达方式不合语境。good for you“干得好，真棒”，与语境相符。
2．B 考查动词短语辨析。句意：……在我生日的时候，姑姑送给我的，但是我不喜欢那颜色。argue about争论；care for喜欢；care about在意，关注；argue for 据理力争。
3．B 考查形容词辨析。graceful优雅的，得体的。
4．B Tony感到吃惊，应用surprised，不用surprising，排除A、D两项；本句是形容词(短语)在句中作状语，排除C项。
5．C 考查形容词词义辨析。environmentally friendly对环境友好的；无污染的。
6．D 考查副词词义辨析。not necessarily在这里的意思是“不一定”，而不是“不需要”。
7．D 考查动词短语辨析。come across偶然遇到。句意：昨天她在商场购物时偶然遇到了一位老朋友。turn down拒绝；deal with处理；take after 长得像；都不符合语境。
8．B 考查从句引导词。此处说明“……随地都可以检查邮件”，因此用wherever引导让步状语从句。
9．D 考查名词词义辨析。the usual/common practice惯例，其他词不符合题意。
10．D 考查交际用语。根据语境判断，此处是顾客和服务员之间的对话，顾客要看菜单，服务员说：“慢慢看吧”。take one's time慢慢来，不着急。
.本文主要讲述一位妇女在年轻时曾给一个穷困饥饿的孩子一杯牛奶，若干年后，这位妇女患了一种“怪病”，这个男孩(已成为名医)全力救治她的故事。
11．C beg for“要……”，也可以用ask for，其他选项不合语境。

13．D 通过文章内容可以知道the poor boy当时是hungry，上文已经有提示。
14．A slowly 慢慢地；unexpectedly出乎意料地；steadily稳步地，稳定地；sadly悲伤的；根据题意选A。
15．C replied＝answered“回答”。
16．B the young woman在the poor boy需要帮助的时候帮助他，这当然是一个善意的行为。
17．A 上文已经交代Howard Kelly饿了，所以现在是身体上的stronger。
18．D 由下一句得到提示，选D。
19．B 和以前的情况相比，他现在已变得知名了。
20．C 由后面的eyes可以推断。此时，Kelly 马上想起孩提时的那一件印象很深的事。
21．A rose(rise的过去式)在此意为“起身”。
22．D 过去分词作状语，表示“穿着……。”
23．A recognize意思是“认出”，其他选项不能表达这个意思。
24．C determine to do sth下决心做某事。
25．A special attention特殊的照顾，表达Kelly对那个妇女的感激之情。
26．C 由上文的rare disease可以判断，治好这种病经过很长一段时间的“斗争”。
27．B compress(被)压紧，压缩，浓缩；request要求，请求；confuse使糊涂，使迷惑；order命令，指挥，要求。由上下文知B项符合题意。
28．C the woman根据自己的病情推出费用一定昂贵。positive确信的，有把握的。
29．C catch one's attention引起某人的注意。
30．D 由下文的“Thank you, God. ”可以知道答案。
. 新的研究表明，大脑工作记忆力差是某些儿童在某些方面的学习落后的原因。儿童缺乏注意力也与此密切相关。
31．A 细节理解题。根据第三段可知“工作记忆”就像一个盒子，它的容量是有限的。
32．B 推理判断题。根据第二段可知很多心理学家认为working memory是一种新的智商，可以把它看作是预测孩子智力的一个重要因素。
33．C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句Memory training may help improve working memory.可知进行记忆训练会有助于改善 “工作记忆”。
34．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句Levine’s organization trains teachers through a program called Schools Attuned… 可知。
.One possible version：
Ways to get relaxed
With the national college entrance examination drawing near, some students in Senior Three suffer from problems both physically and mentally.The most common ones are learning anxiety and a lack of communication and physical exercise.So it is important for us students to find ways to get relaxed.Taking exercise is not only of great benefit to our health but relaxes us a lot.We can also have a talk with people we trust, for their comfort may relieve us from worries and their experience will help us solve our problems.Moreover, we can read some inspiring stories so that we are full of confidence to overcome any difficulties we encounter.
As for me, the best way to relax is just to maintain my sense of humor, for example, sometimes I read jokes and sometimes I treat myself to funny movies.As we all know, as long as a person is optimistic, there is nothing to be afraid of.
