（每空一词）Years ago, Linda Henkel, an American scientist was travelling at the Grand Canyon （美国大峡谷）. "When I was at the canyon's edge, someone came to the front, took & picture and walked away, " she recalls as she shares her travelling experience. "He didn't even look at the scenery! It s just like, 'Got it —Done!' "Henkel is surprised by how much people depend on pictures for their memories. These days, people take pictures before dinner, during friends' birthday parties, and so on. They believe taking pictures will help them remember the moment However, according to Henke research, it, s not true that taking pictures will be good for people's memories.In her study, Henke）took a group of college students to visit a museum. She asked them to look at 15 exhibits （展览）carefully and then to take photos of 15 others. The next day, she tested the students, memory of the tour. She found that the students remembered fewer details about the exhibits they had photographed.Henkel explains that when people depend on their cameras, they won't pay more attention to the event themselves. As a result, they often fail to remember their experiences well.So taking pictures may prevent our brains from remembering things and places. But shouldn't looking over the pictures wake up our memories? Henkel says this is true. However, it happens only if we spend enough time doing it." In order to remember, we have to review （回顾）the photos carefully, " Henkel says, Unfortunately, most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures. Why? There are just too many of them!答案：56. Introduction 57. scientist 58. without 59. surprise 60. can't61. showed 62. remembered 63. less 64. pre vent/ stop 65. remind江苏省扬州中学教育集团树人学校2020届九年级第三次模拟考试英语试题五、任务型阅读（共l0空；每空l分，计l0分）阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。

Ferns are expensive but a good choice in a bathroom.33. The webpage is mainly about ________.A. daily life tipsB. room decorationC. gardening tipsD. social problemsBLast summer, after 16 years in America, I travelled to Moscow where I grew up. I was the first in my family to return. Mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of my grandfather’s grave(坟墓). She asked me to visit it. I promised her it would be the first thing I’d do.But it wasn’t until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit.By the entrance to the cemetery(公墓), a lady was selling flowers. She had only seven left. I bought them all, but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found.I could call my mom. It was already morning in New York.But the problem was that I had al ready told her I’d gone to the cemetery. What was I going tosay? That I decided to go again but lost the map?Then I found the office. An old woman searched the records and found two Abraham Pikarskis with no further details.I set off to look for them, hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone.I found the two graves. Both said Abraham Pikarski, no pictures, nothing else.Which grave was mine?I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one. I also put three flowers there.I stood there with the last flower. Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to? Should I just discard it so that each Abraham Pikarski got an equal number? Finally, I put the flower on the grave. If this is really my grandfather’s, he got the most. If not, let this be a respect to the stranger.I flew home to New York the next day. When Mom saw me, she started crying.“Mom, it’s only been a week...”She said, “Son, thank you for visiting Grandfather’s grave. It really means so much to me. When you called and told me you went there, I thought you were just comforting me. But this morning, my cousin called from Moscow, saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa’s grave.”Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw? Three or four?34. Why didn’t the writer call Mom for the location of his grandfather’s grave?A. Because it was midnight in New York.B. Because he found the hand-drawn map.C. Because he didn’t want Mom to know he broke his promise.D. Because his mom didn’t know where Grandfather’s grave was.35. The writer’s mother cried because ________.A. she missed her father so muchB. she hadn’t seen her son for a weekC. the writer visited his grandfather’s grave for herD. the writer put four fl owers on his grandfather’s grave36. In which situation does the writer have no difficulty ma a decision?A. How to deal with the last flower.B. Whether to visit his grandfather’s grave.C. Whether to phone Mom for the grave’s location.D. Whether to ask Mom how many flowers her cousin saw.37. This passage shows the writer’s character mostly through the use of ________.A. description of his thoughts and actionsB. his long dialogues with other peopleC. description of his l ooks and personalityD. other people’s thoughts about himCWilliam Shakespeare died on April the 23rd in 1616. This year’s 400th anniversary of his death is not just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a moment to celebrate his ongoing influence. Just as Ben Jonson, another great English writer of his times, said, “he is not of an age, but for all time.”People like Shakespeare’s plays because the characters show real human feelings. R omeo and Juliet, who are young lovers, they don’t quite know how to get ahead with their lives. And they disagree with their parents. Their story has a sad ending. When we take the characters out of his period, they really speak to almost any time and place.The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern, everyday English. Even if an English-speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare, they will surely know some sayings that come from his plays. When we have problems ma up our m ind, we say “to be or not to be: that is the question” (Hamlet). When a friend eats all the food in the house, we say he’s “eating me out of house and home”(Henry IV).But Shakespeare’s influence is felt far beyond his language and his culture. “Cowards die many times before their death, the valiant (英勇的) never taste of death but once.” This saying from Shakespeare’s historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson Mandela to fight on when he was a prisoner. Shakespeare’s influence is everywhere, from Goethe (a German writer) to Tchaikovsky.As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It, “all the world’s a stage.” More than 400 years later, stages around the world still show his plays.

Shakespeare’s works will have a stronger influence than ever beforeDPicture the scene: It’s midnight. You’re very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldn’t, for many rea sons, including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains —it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that late-night eating may affect (影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,”Dawn Loh, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angele s, said, “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.”For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For twoweeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received the same amount(数量) of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by. The researchers noticed that, when the mice were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didn’t remember.So think twice before the midnight snack —it might be bad for more than your weight.42. What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）?A. Studying for long.B. A nice pie.C. A new study.D. Late-night eating.43. For the study, the researchers need ____________.A. to check the brains of the mice before the test startedB. to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleepC. to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the timeD. to let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories44. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. A recent study shows late eating affects weight.B. What we eat can affect learning and memory.C. The mice that ate during sleeping hours didn’t remember.D. The mice that ate during usual hours didn’t remember.45. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. Eating snacks affects memoryB. Late eating hurts brainC. Never stay up lateD. Keep away from snacks四、词汇运用46. It’s dangerous to drive on ______________ days. (snow)47.

Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start.When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult.Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet — usually clubs meet monthly.Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants —all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make tal hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation.Please don’t forget the most important thing —the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.After all this has been decided, your book club is ready.
