Now whatever the exact shape of the graph’s curve(曲线), made by joining these points, it must have a high point. Point “X” is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the optimum(最适度), the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time at the books and fatigue(劳累). Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can’t escape it or ignore it. If you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum, you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best – and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.
The skill in being a student consists of getting one’s daily study as near the optimum point as possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own. Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued, if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that’s a pretty good sign you’ve reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find their optimum at five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less – but if you get in five hours’ good work a day, you will be doing well.
Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren’t working? Before examinations some students do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one’s physical energy in order to cut the maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn’t chopping. But the mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning. It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.
When you’ve finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in the chair thinking about the work – that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn’t matter what – anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.
小题1:According to the passage, _______.
A.the longer you study every day, the more you will learn |
B.you’ll achieve better learning results if you work three hours every day |
C.the less work you do, the better you will learn |
D.your work efficiency will decrease once you exceed a certain point of work |
A.loss of memory | B.a need for relaxation |
C.a lot of anxiety | D.loss of concentration |
A.follows a regular pattern with each individual |
B.changes regularly from week to week |
C.can be partly determined by the sort of work he is doing |
D.should be determined before he gets too tired |
A.doing a variety of things in turn |
B.not thinking about anything |
C.turning continuously |
D.getting oneself in a state of fatigue |
A.lie in bed and rest |
B.do something else actively |
C.do some physical labor |
D.stop thinking about your studies |
答案
小题1:D
小题2:D
小题3:C
小题4:A
小题5:B
解析
试题分析:小题1:D 推理题。根据第一段后3行if he tries to do twenty-three and a half hours’ work in a day, he will be so tired that he’ll hardly remember anything: what he learns will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he’d learn more (point 5).说明如果你超过了一定的学习时间,学习的效果会大大下降。故D正确。
小题2:D 细节题。根据第二段最后两句you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best – and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.说明如果一个人过去劳累,那么在注意力集中程度方面会有大的下降,故D正确。
小题3:C 细节题。根据第三段2,3行It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week.说明劳累的时间可能会受工作的种类,受个人情况的影响,故C正确。
小题4:A 细节题。根据文章倒数第二段最后两行It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.说明让思维放松的方法是轮流做一些别的事情,故A正确。
小题5:B 细节题。根据文章最后一段最后两行You must get out and do something. It doesn’t matter what – anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.说明当人到达劳累点的时候,要去做一些另外的活动,故B正确。
点评:文章介绍了每一天一个人的高效学习时间是一定的,超过了这个时间,学习就会变得非常没有效率。同时还介绍了解决的方法。本文和上一篇一样,都特别注重细节的考查,同时要注意理解各段的段落大意。

Radel chose 42 students and each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating on the day of the test. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.
For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, the person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they"d seen -- a food-related word like gateau (cake) or a neutral (中性的) word like bateau (boat).
Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception (直觉), Radel says—it"s not because of some kind of processing happening in the brain after you"ve already figured out what you"re looking at.
"This is something great to me, that humans can really realize what they need or what they hope for, to know that our brain can really arrange for our motives and needs," Radel says. "There is something inside us that selects information in the world to make life easier.”
小题1:The purpose of Radel"s research is to let us know ____.
A.how our thinking has effect on our senses happens |
B.what it is the good time for students to have lunch |
C.whether poorer children think coins are larger than they are |
D.whether hungry people think pictures of food are brighter |
A.boat | B.food | C.mind | D.weather |
A.The students should stare at the words in the book. |
B.Each word appeared slowly in order that the participant could read it exactly. |
C.After each word flashed on the screen, the person was asked to finish two tasks. |
D.On the day of the test, all the students were very hungry because of the delay of their lunch. |
A.Actually our brain can arrange for our motives and needs. |
B.In the experiment the brain was totally controlled by the senses. |
C.People who had just eaten saw all the words more clearly than hungry people. |
D.The participants saw the words look different long after the brain dealt with the information. |
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
小题1:What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.messages | B.ideas | C.connections | D.programs |
A.Companies rely on e-mail for communications. |
B.More people in the world communicate by e-mail. |
C.Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail. |
D.More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam. |
A.The business | B.The advertiser |
C.The employee | D.The consumer |
A.To inform | B.To educate | C.To persuade | D.To instruct |
We had just been to the gym and stopped to 31 at the restaurant.
“No,” I replied, “you don’t need a piece of cake.”
My son 32 15 in a few days. He 33 over 6 feet tall. He is very slim and athletic in shape. It was not always that way. My wife wrote a book about the challenge and 34 of getting him fit. He now takes it 35 and looks as he’s never been overweight in his life.
He had a full plate of 36 and tofu. He didn’t need a piece of cake. Besides, everything in the restaurant is quite 37 . Our dinners could have 38 a family of seven at a fast food restaurant. That cake probably cost $5.
He was 39 as he looked at the delicious cakes. I had forgotten that I had walked over to the cake shelf while he was 40 his food from the buffet (自助餐).
I looked at my 41 . There sitting on the edge was a piece of 42 . I looked at it wondering but also knowing how it got there. “We will divide it,” I said.
A few days later my oldest son was with me again. We stopped at a 43 . He ordered a sandwich. I then 44 two sandwiches. He immediately barked, “Can I have two?” He wanted exactly what Daddy had.
Your kids are very likely to put on their plates, exactly what you have on yours, and I think this applies to more than food. Keep your 45 plate with only what you want your kinds to have.

The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade (阴凉) plantings. He says, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other choices.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours’ direct sunshine a day, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours’ full sun a day. It also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water.
Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better partly in shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticide (农药). Instead, he planted the potatoes in the shade, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Some insects dislike shade, and the hottest part day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, sun intensity (强度), shadows from trees, walls and buildings all influence how much sunlight falls on plants. And people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. It can even mean different things in different parts of the world.
小题1:How many hours of sunshine are enough to keep tomato plants growing in Hoffman’s garden?
A.five hours a day | B.Six hours a day |
C.Eight hours a day | D.Twelve hours a day |
A.plants with wider leaves produce more in full sun. |
B.as a matter of fact, plants don’t need to grow in full sun. |
C.the more sunshine plants get, the more they will produce |
D.plants with wider leaves grow better in shadows |
A.length of day time |
B.brightness of the sun |
C.changes of the season |
D.shadows |
A.Curious | B.Experienced | C.Easy-going | D.Funny |
A.environment | B.travelling | C.agriculture | D.lifestyle |
