Think of a simple object—a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense. They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something you’re your senses. Then messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short—term memory. It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long—term memory.

Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long—term memory. To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape. Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and vegetables. Laughter also makes your brain more active. Also, don’t forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house. Finally, get plenty of sleep. This will make your memories grow stronger.

When you want to remember new information, you must pay special attention. Use your senses--sight, smell, hearing and touch-and keep repeating the information. To do well in your exams this year, turn off the TV, silence your mobile, and review your work regularly. To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual(視覺(jué)的) connections. For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam. Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal, the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head. Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips. It may sound crazy, but its fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room. Turn a picture upside-down, or tie a sock around the door handle to remind(提醒)yourself of something to remember!

1.At the beginning, the writer gives an example to _________.

A. lead in the topic of the article B. show the importance of chalk

C. let readers remember the word D. make readers know his favorite

2.How many ways are mentioned to have a good memory in Paragraph 2 ?

A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.

3.The main idea of the third paragraph is___________.

A. how to do well in exams B. how to remember new information

C. why to review your work D. what to eat to make memories stronger

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Memory has nothing to do with languages. B. Laughter can help to improve our memory.

C. A picture of eating chips is the most useful. D. Our brain is difficult to keep in good shape.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二維碼）. “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使產(chǎn)生）the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.” Said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep in on WeChat（微信）. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans（掃描）his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative（創(chuàng)新的）, with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “48 It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

1.According to the passage, students can keep their homework on ______.

A. WeChat B. QQ C. email D. blog（博客）

2.Guo’s students think the new way is _______.

A. strange B. boring C. interesting D. Unnecessary

3.What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to（指代）：

A. The paper is not easy to keep.

B. Keeping and sharing the code easily.

C. Trying to use new technology in education.

D. Education itself is a kind of creation.

4.Some parents are worried, because they think their children will _______.

A. talk with teachers face to face

B. spend too much time on computers or phones

C. not like the new way of handing in homework

D. find the QR codes too difficult to use

5.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Teachers needn’t check homework any more.

B. Students needn’t hand in homework any more.

C. Using QR codes makes checking homework easier.

D. Some parents are worried about their children.

閱讀下列短文，在空白處（71-75）填入與短文內(nèi)容相符的信息，完成閱讀摘記。

English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. One is not more correct than the other, but there are important differences between the two.

Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.

American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask “What did you do at the weekend?”, but Americans usually say “on the weekend.” In the United States people usually say “I’ve gotten a new car.”, but in the UK they will say “I’ve just got a new car.”

The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word “tomato”—pronounced “to-mah-to” in British English—is a classic example of this.

Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world. Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.

Nowadays more and more people like to travel, especially when vacations come. A great number of people rush out of their homes or companies to travelling spots. They either drive or take a bus, a train, a ship and so on. Some even ride bikes.

However, there is another way of travelling—poorism. People have a tour in the poorest areas of the world. Some people may take one-day poorest tour, and some even pay to stay in very poor neighborhoods to experience the lowest living standards in the world. Poorism tours take place around the world, and not just in the third world countries. You can, for instance, tour New York neighborhoods in the Bronx, in the Bund of Shanghai. Such tours can take people into the heart of poor areas within large and in some rich cities. These tours may awaken people to pay more attention to long-standing poverty, or the effects of war.

Some suggest that tours in the poor areas can raise social care. And the money from the tour can be donated to help the people there.

1. ______ like to travel when vacations come.

A. Few people B. Poor people C. Lots of people D. Rich people

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “poorism” in the second paragraph?

A. 貧困 B. 窮人 C. 窮游 D. 可憐的人

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：山東省濟(jì)南市2017年中考一模英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn't mean much if I couldn’t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for(競(jìng)選)President: Because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.

I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even though their parents don’t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.

I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of differentcolorsand areas because we are all equal.

I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.

These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.

Love，

Dad
