You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to.

4、Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Heres how:1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, r

5、egular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldnt occupy all of the free time on the schedule. Its important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not

6、 solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at h

7、ome or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the

8、material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well.4. Make good use of your time in class

9、. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you rema

10、in confused about. Read about these points in your textbook. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This will help you understand the next class. If you review your notes and textbooks regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will

11、remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, b

12、ut they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your new knowledge permanent.There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Only a few have been mentioned here. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. Talk with yo

13、ur classmates about their study techniques. Share with them some of the techniques you have found to be helpful.

32、eather, may be forming again.A satellite (卫星) orbiting 600 miles above the Pacific Ocean picked up a streak (条, 带) of warm water forming along the equator (赤道) an early sign of the phenomenon felt around the world when it last appeared, just four years ago.It is more than 3,000 miles long. The water

33、 in it is nine degrees warmer than in surrounding areas a substantial (相当大的) number to oceanographers (海洋学家), the warm pool is growing and has caused government forecasters to put out an advisory (气象报告).“Its a heads-up in advance so that people can properly be prepared for this event.” Said Vernon K

34、ousky of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Climate Prediction Center.If a full-blown El Nino does form, Americans would most likely start to feel its effects next fall and winter.The government called the forecast very preliminary (初步的) but the warning allows emergency agencies to

35、 make plans.“Right now, we cant predict whether it will be weak, moderate (中等的) or strong in intensity (强度),” said Kousky.Some Scientists say its too early to predict anything at all. “Id be very careful,” said one who asked not to be named. “There is indeed a very large anomaly (反常状态) in the Pacifi

36、c right now, and we need to watch it. But these things are very difficult to forecast.”El Ninos can be both good and bad, depending on where you are. Even a relatively small one can bring about significant changes by shifting the wind patterns from the Pacific Ocean that pass over the United States.

37、During the last El Nino, in 1997 and 1998, rainfall doubled in California, causing a $ 1 billion in storm damage. On the other hand, in Florida, forest fires were put out by the extra rain.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。41. What can be regarded as an early sign of El Nino?A) A 3,000-mile long water streak. B) A

39、Why is it necessary to forecast the coming El Nino?A) Because it would affect Americans next fall and winter.B) Because scientists will be able to know whether it will be weak, moderate or strong in intensity.C) Because emergency agencies will be able to make plans to prepare for it.D) Because scien

40、tists will be able to observe the formation of the El Nino.44. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?A) El Nino can be both beneficial and harmful to us, depending on where it happens.B) Even a small El Nino can bring about great changes.C) An El Nino caused one billion dollars worth of d

42、he wind is blowing, we dont usually pay much attention to the atmosphere, the blanket of ai that surrounds the Earth. Yet, without the atmosphere, the Earth would be a desolate (荒芜的) planet with no sign of life!The atmosphere plays several roles in helping to make life possible. First, the atmospher

43、e provides the three gases necessary for life: oxygen (氧气), nitrogen (氮气), and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). All animals, including ourselves, breathe oxygen. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are both needed for plant growth. Less important atmospheric gases include argon (氩), neon (氖), helium (氦), and hydrogen

44、 (氢).Second, the atmosphere also protects us from most of the suns high-energy ultraviolet light rays (紫外线), which are harmful to life. Although these rays are only a small part of the sunlight striking the Earth, they are known to be very dangerous. However, 99 percent of all ultraviolet rays are a

45、bsorbed before they reach the Earths surface. They are absorbed by an atmospheric gas, called ozone (臭氧), a type of oxygen gas. The ozone layer surrounds the Earth but is much thinner over the North and South Poles than over other regions of the Earth.The one percent of the ultraviolet light in the

46、atmosphere that does reach the Earths surface is known to cause sunburn and is now believed to also cause skin cancer in many people. Because of this, doctors recommend that people limit the amount of time the spend in direct sunlight and wear a suntan lotion (防晒油) that blocks the ultraviolet rays w

47、hen they do sunbathe.Finally, the atmosphere generates all types of weather such as clear blue skies and storms. It acts as a huge energy machine, changing sunlight into other forms of energy such as heat and wind. As part of this role, the atmosphere regulates the temperature at the Earths surface.

48、 First it allows only 46 percent of the sunlight striking it to pass through and actually reach the Earths surface. Second, carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere controls the amount of warmth on the Earths surface that it allowed to radiate (发散) back into space. By these two controlling devices, the

49、atmosphere regulates the Earths surface temperature.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。46. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A) The ozone layer is much thicker over North America than over the North Pole. B) Ozone is a type of nitrogen gas. C) Ozone can absorb some ultraviolet rays before they

50、 reach the Earths surface.D) Ozone can protect us from anything harmful to our life.47. The main idea of the third passage is that _.A) the Earth is surrounded by a layer of ozone B) 99 percent of all ultraviolet light rays that reach the Earths surface are absorbed by the ozone layerC) the ozone la

51、yer protects people from the suns high-energy ultraviolet light raysD) ozone is an atmosphere gas which surrounds the earth 48. According to the article, carbon dioxide _. A) is a less important atmospheric gas B) controls the amount of warmth on the Earths surface C) allow only 46 percent of sunlig

52、ht to reach the Earths surface D) acts like a huge energy machine49. Doctor suggest that _. A) People should stay away from the sunlight to protect themselves form sunburnB) people should block the ultraviolet rays when they do sunbatheC) people should wear suntan lotion under direct sunlightD) peop

53、le should know that skin cancer results from sunbathing50. The Earth would be a desolate planet without the atmosphere because _. A) the atmosphere is mainly composed of oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, which are indispensable to our life B) The atmosphere plays several roles in making life possible C

54、) the atmosphere allow only harmless rays to reach the Earth D) the atmosphere controls the amount of warmth on the Earths surfacePart VCloze(15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the pa
