It can be used ‎ wisely in many other ways. Here are some useful tips that can save us time and money. If you follow them, you will have a fresh smell of using toothpaste!‎ Clean a dirty mirror If you want to clean a dirty bathroom mirror, try to put a bit of toothpaste on the mirror and wipe it dry. The glass can be cleaned up beautifully. And doing this can also stop the mirror from fogging. Then you can still see yourself in the mirror after taking a shower.‎ Remove the unpleasant food smell Have some bad food smell, like the smell of onions or fish, on your hands? You can remove it by washing your hands with toothpaste. You'll be freshsmelling in no time.‎ Make your sports shoes whiter This time, clean your sports shoes by yourself, not by your mother. Wipe some toothpaste around your shoes and then clean it with a wet cloth. See? Your shoes are white as new！‎ ‎21.What does the passage mainly tell us about?‎ A．How to buy the toothpaste. B．How to choose the toothpaste.‎ C．How to use toothpaste wisely. D．How to sell the toothpaste.‎ ‎22．How many ways can you save your time and money by using toothpaste?‎ A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.‎ ‎23．If there is some smell of fish on your hands, what can you do?‎ A．Wash your hands with soap.　 B．Wash your hands with toothpaste.‎ C．Eat some onions.　　 D．Brush your teeth with toothpaste.‎ ‎24．The passage doesn't tell us that ．‎ A．toothpaste can clean a dirty mirror B．toothpaste can remove the food smell C．toothpaste can make your ring become new again D．toothpaste can remove fish smell ‎25．Where can we probably find the passage?‎ A．In a science magazine.　　B．In an amusement magazine.‎ C．In a history book. D．In a math book.‎ B It sounds almost too good to be true，but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them．‎ For the study，researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep，a stage when a person has 1ittle consciousness of their environment．To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language ‎ words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives，researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words．‎ When the subjects woke up，they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations．The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger．This vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory．‎ Unbelievably，the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance．That’s not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue，but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level，even during sleep．‎ Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory，but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness．This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep．‎ In other words，our brains are listening to the world，and learning about it，even when our conscious selves are not present．‎ The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be 1earned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep．If so，it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things．Sleep learning might become a widespread practice．‎ ‎26．Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study?‎ A. To guarantee the accuracy of the test result．‎ B. To increase the difficulty of testing information．‎ C. To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment．‎ D. To test if our brain are good at learning something new．‎ ‎27．What were the subjects asked to do in the study?‎ A. Classify what they heard by size．‎ B. Make up a word to represent “large” or “small”．‎ C. Repeat the words they heard in the sleep．‎ D. Imagine the meanings of the made-up words．‎ ‎28．What conclusion did researchers draw from this study?‎ A. Sleep is necessary for a good memory．‎ B. Memory formation goes on during sleep．‎ C. Listening during sleep is good for our brain．‎ D. Learning languages in sleep has better effects．‎ ‎ C Is there an important exam right around the corner? You might be starting to fear, thinking that there's no way for you to get a good grade ‎ because of the little time left to study. This is something all students may worry about. ‎ But you should accept the fact that you have to take the exam no matter how ‎ much you want to avoid it.‎ Thankfully, there are several ways to help you get at least a passing grade. You ‎ may have a try.‎ Get yourself together.‎ This might sound like silly advice, but it's actually the most important. When you ‎ fear, you may lose control over your thoughts and actions even if you try to study, ‎ perhaps you won't get anything in your head.‎ Enjoy enough sleep.‎ It's unbelievable many students have little sleep each night. That's not something ‎ to be proud of, especially if you're sleeping so little and still failing to do all the ‎ things. Sleep isn't for the weak, but for the wise. Your brain needs enough rest. After ‎ a good night's sleep, you'll perform much better in the morning.‎ Don't fear.‎ Once the test paper is in front of you don't be afraid. Take a deep breath and start ‎ the exam with confidence. Just like when you were reviewing, put away the ‎ problems you're having difficulty in and come back to them later. If you have time ‎ left, go over everything to make sure you haven't made any careless mistakes.‎ ‎29．In the writer's opinion, whenever there's an important exam, ．‎ A．students might experience a period of fear B．students will have little time to worry C．students should try everything possible to avoid it D．students have to ask teachers for more help ‎30．The writer describes “get yourself together” as silly advice because ．‎ A．it won't influence your thoughts B．it is one of the common senses C．it is not the most important suggestion D．it won't help you get anything in your head ‎31．When you meet with difficult problems in the exam, you can ．‎ A．give them up and take a deep breath B．think hard and review them once again C．put them away first and come back later D．just trust yourself and look through the paper ‎32．According to the passage, you may get at least the passing grade if ．‎ A．you fear nothing B．you follow the writer's advice C．the problems are not difficult D．the preparation time lasts longer D According to a recent study，there are about 70，000 blind children in Indonesia. Among them, 60 percent were not born blind.Iyehezkiel Parudani is one of them, who lost his eyesight by an accident at age six. He now teaches English to blind students at the Pajajaran Special School. Iyehezkiel Parudani says learning English can help blind people feel better about themselves.“By learning English，they can be an English teacher，a translator，and a tour guide.” Students read using Braille(盲文)．To write，they use special tools too.‎ Iyehezkiel Parudani says blind people should not let their physical disability influence their dreams. In 2008, he got a chance to study at University of Texas. Two years later, he got a master's degree in course development there.‎ ‎“In the US, if I go to the university to study, everything is available—like ebooks, Braille books.Here in Indonesia, you know, it's difficult to find a reference book in ebook or in Braille. We have to make it ourselves. In the US, I can move wherever I want because everything designed is really accessible for people with blindness.”‎ Eha Lestari，one of his star students，says learning English has changed her life. She has already traveled to the US with the help of an IndonesiaUS programme. “I study English because I love English very much. I want to be a translator because I want to go to the other countries and then I want to meet some people from around the world.”‎ Like her classmates, Eha loves to sing. Here, music is part of daily life. Even the ‎ students who do not study English can sing some American pop songs，such as ‎ Stand by Me，“Stand by me. Please stand, stand by me. Stand by me...”‎ Iyehezkiel Parudani says the song has a special meaning to the students.“In our ‎ life, we need other persons. You have to stand by me. Without you standing by me，‎ I'm meaningless.”‎ ‎33．According to what Iyehezkiel says，learning English can help blind students ‎ to . ‎ A．have more chances to get jobs B．visit Englishspeaking countries C．get a master's degree easily D．read Braille books quickly ‎34．From the last two paragraphs, we can infer(推断) that the students . ‎ A．sang songs side by side B．achieved their dreams C．had a meaningless life D．needed help from others ‎35．The best title for the passage may be . ‎ A．Blind Girl Learning English B．Blind Children Singing Songs C．A Blind Man Teaching English D．Blind Teachers Living by Me 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ 36．You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:‎ Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 37． A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.‎ Find a good place to study.
