Why are more and more people choosing audio books? Is listening to an audio book just as helpful as reading a book?Reading needs us to find time and places to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audio books anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too.But the big question is, can we learn as much from listening to a book as we do from reading one? People did an experiment to find the answer. They asked volunteers in group I to listen to an audio book and volunteers in group 2 to read a book. It showed that they remembered the same amount（量）of information, when they listened to it and read it.Another study further supported the result above. In the study, they scanned people's brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates（激活）almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audio books, we need to finish more work. “If you're trying to learn while doing two things, you' re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham said.37. What are the audio book users freer in than paper book users?A. age and placeB. time and placeC. price and timeD. price and age38. What can we know about the audio books?A. They are very popular these days.B. Everybody should buy an audio book.C. We need to find a place to read the audio book.D. We should always listen to the audio book at school.39.

Which is the best title of this article?A. The History of Audio BooksB. The Advantages（优点）of Audio BooksC. The Future of Audio BooksD. The Introduction（介绍）of Audio BooksE从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项. （共5 小题；每小题1分，满分 5 分）Now, more middle school students go to the farm to know more about crops.

He decided to take ten servants with him. They would carry the things to sell and the food to eat on the journey.He was a kind man. He said to one of his servants, "You are the smallest, the thinnest and the weakest of all my servants. You can't carry a heavy load. You may choose the lightest load to carry." The servant thanked his master. He pointed to the biggest load. This was bread for them to eat on the journey."You are foolish," said his master. "That is the biggest and heaviest load." But the servant lifted up the load cheerfully and the journey began. They walked for four hours, and they stopped for a rest and ate some of the bread every time.

Today very few people—less than 2% of the people are farmers and farm workers.England has the most people in the United Kingdom. About 46 million live in England.

Direct questions are either yes/no questions such as "Are you married?" or information questions such as "Where do you live?".It's OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem impolite at times, especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask "What time is it?" or "Can you move?", he/she may refuse to help you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it's very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" to begin your questions. "Excuse me, when does the bus leave?" or "Pardon me, may I sit here?" sounds more polite.It's also possible to use "can" in more informal（非正式）situations. In the past, "can" was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge Universityhelp me?""Would" can also be used to make questions more polite. "Would you let me borrow your pencil?" is also polite.Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add "please" at the end of the questions. We can say "Could you help me, please?" "Please" should not appear at the beginning of the questions.（1）According to the passage, the writer thinks ________.A.we shouldn't ask direct questions in daily lifeB.it's OK to ask strangers direct questionsC.it's not enough to ask questions correctlyD.we must know someone well before asking questions（2）From the third paragraph, we can know ________.A."can" was only used to ask for abilities beforeB.people in America like using "can" betterC.questions with "can" are more polite in written EnglishD.questions with "can" are not polite in informal situations（3）Which of the following is WRONG?A.Yes/No questions are also direct questions.B.Questions with "please" at the beginning are more polite.C.Questions with "would" at the beginning are more polite.D."Excuse me" can be used at the beginning of questions.（4）What does the passage mainly tell us?A.How to make direct questions more polite.B.How to use some phrases correctly.C.How to make requests correctly.D.How to change the ways we speak.18.All students need to have good study habits.
