【题目】阅读表达 阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Some people seem to have extraordinary (非凡的) memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain (《最强大脑》), can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!
You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the United States and the Netherlands (荷兰), the brain structure (结构) of ordinary(普通的) people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes shows no difference.
That’s because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron (《神经元》) suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training, reported The Guardian.
Researchers found that a technique (技巧) called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.
By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain’s memory networks. You can link (关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be the handle (把手) on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.
“Not everyone can become a (memory) champion. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level they’re at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.

【题目】 There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets(桶). One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very dilapidated one, which had been used for many years, but was now past its best.
Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the road, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop coming out. The old bucket felt very ashamed (惭愧的) because of its holes; before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏) along the road.
Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how helpful I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"
And all that the old bucket could say was, "I know I'm not very useful, but I can only do my best. I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”
One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said," You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the road.”
Then the two buckets did so. All along the road, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

A.肮脏的B.光鲜的C.破旧的D.普通的
【2】Why did the old bucket feel ashamed of itself?
A.Because it leaked a lot.B.Because it was too old.

A.the old bucket completely agreed with what the new bucket said.

C.the new bucket thought it a waste to keep using the old one.
D.the old bucket felt unlucky that the gardener still used it.

【题目】 What time of day do you feel most alert(清醒的)? Are you more of a morning person? Or does your brain need a few hours to get going? A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal.
When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.
But everyone’s body clock is different. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.
Research show that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3pm and 6pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.
Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted (思想不集中的). This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.
Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.
【1】Many people perform best later in the morning because________.
A.they can’t get up very early.B.they have to take a shower first.
C.the body’s temperature needs time to rise.D.that’s when the brain wakes up.
【2】Evening people had better _________.
A.rise early and work in the morning.B.wake later and work better in the evening.
C.rise late and work in the morningD.wake later and work after midnight.
【3】According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?
A.It’s better to do exercise in the afternoon.B.We perform better after eating a big meal.
C.Sleeping at 2 pm is not good for our health.D.Our body burns calories better at night.
【4】What would be the best title for the story?
A.Research about time.B.The best time to do things.
C.Brain performance.D.Different periods of a day.
