Our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30.1. used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped,but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster.“Your brain is a learning machine,”says Dr.Merzenich from University of California.2.

Dr.Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process in5. the brain deals with information.Since much of the data we receive comes through speech,the Bain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to improve speed and accuracy.
Over the course of the training,the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds-between“dog” and “bog”,for example-6.an increasingly faster speed.It’s a bit like a tennis instructor,says Dr.Merzenich,hitting balls at you faster and 7.(fast) to keep you challenged.You may start out slow,but before long you’re pretty quick.
The biggest finding in brain research in the last decade is that the brain at any age is highly plastic.8. you ask your brain to learn,it will learn.And it may speed up in the process.

For most of my 20 years as a teacher, summer vacation was my time to relax. So why was I standing in the schoolyard of an unfamiliar school, wearing myself out for a summer teaching job? The extra paychecks were nice, but I lacked the energy of my younger colleagues. Like Stella. She was in her early twenties, and made keeping up with the kids look effortless. She reminded me of myself, back when I was a bright-eyed student teacher at Ramona Elementary…
I’d never forget my first day. I was too full of energy. Nervous energy. My supervising teacher was watching, and I wanted to make a good impression. I asked my third graders to take out their crayons for the day’s lesson. All of them obeyed. Except one. A girl with two long, dark braids(辮子). Everyone called her Estrellita, or “l(fā)ittle star.” Why was she unprepared for class? I demanded to know.
“My sister has my crayons,” she said.
“You should each have your own crayons,” I told her. “That’s no excuse.”
“There are 10 children in my family,” Estrellita said quietly, her big brown eyes never leaving my face. “We have to take turns.”
I was taken aback. I’d completely misjudged the situation. All day Estrellita’s words played on my mind. The next morning I bought a pack of crayons to leave on Estrellita’s desk. She was so happy! That experience taught me an important lesson. Every student had a unique set of challenges—it was my mission to help my students overcome them. That mission used to energize(激勵 )me.
Rest was almost over. Stella turned to me and we started chatting. “How long have you been teaching?” she asked. I told her I’d started twenty years before, at Ramona Elementary.
“I went to school there twenty years ago!” Stella said. I looked at her again, this time really seeing her. Those big brown eyes. That long, dark hair...
“Did you use to have two long braids?” I said. “We called you Estrellita… ”
Stella shouted. “ You ! You gave me the crayons!”
She’d become a teacher. To help students like I did. Even doing something that small mattered.
That summer, I threw myself into teaching with a renewed sense of purpose. Estrellita had taught me a lesson once again.
1.How did the author feel according to Paragraph 1?
A. She felt relaxed. B. She felt very tired.
C. She was still excited. D. She was proud of herself.
2.Why didn’t Estrellita take out her crayons?
A. She had to share them. B. She was being naughty.
C. She forgot to bring them. D. She lost them before the class.
3.Which can replace the underlined part “taken aback” in Paragraph 6?
A. fairly serious. B. quite pleased.
C. very surprised. D. extremely angry.
4.What did the author learn through Stella?
A. Never make excuses. B. Why her job mattered.
C. How to be a good teacher. D. To be a giver, not a receiver.

Recently, the TV show “Where are we going, Dad?” produced by Hunan SatelliteTelevision is a big hit across nation. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered（觸發(fā)）a lot of people’s emotional resonance（共鳴）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.
In the real life, on the one hand, the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand, they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.
It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.
1.To raise a child in modern society, parents should ________.
A. break down the barrier between children and teachers
B. play computer games with their children
C. balance well between family and career
D. keep their children at home to avoid socializing
2.Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?
A. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.
B. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.
C. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.
D. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.
3.What does the underlined word “participation” probably mean?
A. taking responsibility B. understanding
C. taking part D. keeping company
4.Which one is the best title of the passage?
A. New problems in Modern Children’s Education
B. Modern Education is Important
C. Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”
D. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids

The Today I learned–The New York Times’ fun column always highlights some surprising and interesting facts. In that spirit,The New York Times lists some of the most eye-catching things out of the column and edits them into What I Learned This Year.Following are some facts out of What I Learned in 2016.
The world’s most-used natural resource (apart from water,listed at the second place and air,as the champion) is sand,which consists of extremely small pieces of stone-and it’s disappearing.
A team’s success (at work) is often driven by 3 factors (with the importance from high to low) —its culture,the interpersonal relationship and the IQ or talent of its individuals.
Giraffes have been keeping a secret from most of us for a long time: They’ really four different species,not one. The Greenland Shark lives at least 272 years and it could live as long as 512 years,which makes it the oldest living thing with a backbone（脊椎）on Earth.
More that 70 percent of Americans think Granola Bars (格拉諾拉燕麥棒)are healthy.Interesting,less than 30 percent of nutritionists（營養(yǎng)學(xué)家）agree.
Nearly 80 percent of teenagers say they don’t like to eat cereal porridge（燕麥粥）for breakfast,because they have to clean up the bowls after eating it.
It’s myth that closing unused apps on your smartphone will prolong battery life.And turning off Wi-Fi doesn’t help,either.
Annual percentage of highway death had been going down for the last four decades till it last year recorded the largest increase in 50 years.Blame Snapchat and other smarphone apps.
Death from gun-shooting is as enough as from car accidents in the United Stated and as scarce as from lightning strikes in Japan,which owns the reputation of one of the safest countries.
1.According to the passage,the world’s most-used natural resource is______.
A. water B. air C. sand D. stone

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆高三普通高等學(xué)校招生全國統(tǒng)一考試（新課標Ⅰ）猜題卷（一）英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解
Morocco has a lot of sun, a lot of deserts and a high demand for imported fuel. And that's why the Moroccan government is moving ahead with a huge concentrated solar power plant near the desert city of Ouarzazate — one of four plants in total which, when completed, will have generating capacity(發(fā)電量) of 580MW. Combined with the country’s wind and hydro-power (水力發(fā)電) efforts, Morocco’s ambitious solar push will mean the country will get close to 50% of its electricity from renewable generation as early as 2020.
Phase I of the project, the 160MW Noor l, is going to start generating electricity next month and includes a capacity for molten sand energy storage which will allow up to 3 hours of electricity generation after the sun goes down. Phases 2 and 3 will have the capacity for up to eight hours of storage, meaning that solar energy really could be used to power homes around the clock.
Besides the scale of such plans, what’s impressive to me is how quickly the renewable energy can be developed. What other forms of energy could so greatly change a country’s energy composition in just a few short years? Not only should this be an encouraging sign for those of us who favor renewable energy, but it also should give reason for would-be investors in traditional fossil fuel generating industry.
If renewable energy costs continue to fall, even existing(現(xiàn)有的) coal and gas plants will find themselves limited by newer, cleaner forms of energy that can be increased rapidly.
Interestingly, some analysts suggest this is happening already. In the US, for example, coal power plants are being retired earlier than expected due to a combination of increased competition from gas and renewable energy, as well as tighter regulations of emissions (排放). Also, increasing amounts of solar and wind cause gas and coal plants not to use, significantly reducing their profits and further giving an edge to the clean energy competition.
If this proves to be the case in North Africa too, Morocco's solar ambitions could help transform the energy system well beyond its own borders.
1.What's the main theme of the passage?
A. Solar energy is fully developed in Morocco.
B. There are advantages of developing solar energy.
C. Morocco is a country with quantities of deserts.
D. Morocco's efforts to generate renewable electricity.
2.What is the advantage of Phase l?
A. Its energy storage can last up to three hours.
B. It has the capacity for as many as eight hours.
C. It continues producing electricity after the sun sets.
D. It is going to begin generating electricity in a month.
3.What does the author think of the renewable energy development?
A. Upset. B. Striking. C. Sensitive. D. Doubtful.
4.Coal power plants in the US are being retired earlier than expected because of ________.
A. various reasons B. heavy pollution
C. fierce competition D. the government's limitation

A
Ten years ago I went into the studio and recorded a 56-minute video for teenagers called “Three keys to greatness.” Although my focus was for teenagers, the principles I shared certainly apply to adults as well. Recently I was asked to list these three things. Now for your benefit here they are again.
Firstly, set goals. I call it the view of the future. Most people, including kids, will pay the price if they can see the promise of the future. So we need to help our kids see a clear future, and they will be ready to pay the price today to attain the rewards of tomorrow. Goals help them do this.
Secondly, pay attention to personal development. Simply making consistent investments in our education and knowledge we will benefit throughout our lives. I suggest having an amount of time set aside for reading books, listening to recording, attending discussion, keeping a journal and spending time with other successful people. Mr Jones recommends reading a lot as a good method of improving yourself. The simple fact is that you need to change your outlook on life and on yourself, as it will have a positive influence on your personality and outlook. You should learn something new about your profession every single day until you’re an expert in the field.
Thirdly, make a financial plan. I call it the 70/30 plan. After receiving your salary, simply setting aside 10% for saving, 10% for investing and 10% for giving, the rest for your life. And over time when you have your own family this will guarantee financial independence for you.
If people focus on doing these three simple things over a long period of time, I believe they will be surely successful!
1.The advantage of setting goals is that ______.
A. you’ll know the future of the world
B. you’ll know what kind of person you will become
C. you’ll be willing to work hard for your future
D. you’ll be satisfied with what you have achieved
2.The author lays the most stress on ______.
A. gaining knowledge
B. making good friends
C. attending discussions
D. listening to recordings
3.According to the passage, one picture of reading a lot is to ______.
A. lead a better life
B. have a good personality and outlook
C. change your position
D. become an expert in many fields
4.Whom does the author mainly advise to make a financial plan?
A. All kinds of people.
B. The young people.
C. The middle-aged people.
D. The rich people.
