AMeg, Rudy and Hayley have some problems with their learning. They ask E-teacher for help. Read and match the problems with the advice given by E-teacher.Several years ago when I was in Grade Seven, I was very excited to be selected for a district level basketball tournament(锦标赛). I thought I would score the most points and everyone would praise me. I thought that I would score the last basket for my team, winning the game, and then everyone would praise me. I thought about many situations like that, and I thought that I would be famous because of my act of heroism. I was very overconfident.There was one week left until the tournament and I trained hard. The day before the tournament, there was a practice game between our team members. It was just a practice in which I helped my team win by scoring most of our points. Now everyone had faith in me that I would help my team win.The next day it came time for the game to begin. All my team members passed the ball to me again and again, but I only scored two baskets. The game was coming to an end and, as one of our opponents(对手) was trying to shoot the ball, Ted, my teammate, jumped high in the air and stopped the ball. He passed me the ball, and I thought my dream was about to come true－thewinning of the game was in my hands. I was not able to contain(抑制) my excitement and ran down the court to shoot the ball. Because of my carelessness, I fell down and an opposing(对方的) player took the ball. We lost the game. Everybody looked at me with sharp eyes and I was unable to show my face to anyone.On that day, I realized that sometimes what we thought would not get done in real. We want to be heroes, but our overconfidence can cause failure.24. When I played basketball for my team like a hero, I would be ______.A. luckyB. famousC. e xcitedD. o verconfident25. I trained ______ when there was one week left until the tournament.A. hardB. aloneC. earlyD. carefully26. We lost the game because of my ______.A. h eroismB. d ifficultyC. n ervousnessD. carelessnessCso much done and achieving their purposes? We all want success, but what are we doing wrong? Here are a few habits you really need to avoid if you want to be highly productive.Not seeing the bigger pictureStarting with the end in mind can help you to imagine what you are trying to create. When you can see the bigger picture, you can begin to break the course down in steps to see exactly how you’re going to get ther e. Thinking of the end helps you keep your eye on the prize, especially when you get less confident.Working without priorities (优先事项)When deciding what steps to take to reach the end, highly productive people don’t waste time on details that influence the course. Make your path simple. Pay attention to what is important.Procrastination (拖延症)Though it is true, it can be the hardest thing. If we wait for the right time, it may take us a very long time to finally feel confident to begin something. Many things can pull us away from starting our project.Working long hours without breaksYou can’t do your best job if you’re very tired. If you take care of yourself, you are betterprepared to be in top form to do the job at hand. According to studies, the ability to give attention becomes weaker after about an hour, and then you will become less productive. So if you’re tired, don’t work harder. You need at least a 15-minute break to give your brain a rest and be ready to do more of your best work.Listenin g to people who say “no”Never be limited by other people. Highly productive people are not prevented by difficulty and other people’s ideas about what they’re doing. They find a way to get started, and they find a way not to give up.27. What does the un derlined word “productive” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. 实际的B. 繁忙的C. 乐观的D. 高效的28. To be productive, you should avoid ________.A. starting with the end in your mindB. keeping your eye on important thingsC. waiting for the right time to get startedD. paying no attention to what others think29. Which can help do your best work when you are tired?A. Try the hardest project.B. Spend a quarter resting.C. Work harder than before.D. Spend more time on details.DWant to fall asleep fast? Read a book before going to bed. It is at the top of most lists if you ask the Internet for tips for falling asleep. But why does reading make us so sleepy?“For many people, reading can be relaxing and enjoyable. It can put your mind and body in the right mood(状态) to go to sleep, ” says Raman Malhotra. He is an expert(专家) at the Washington University Sleep Center. Of course, that’s if you’re reading something relaxing. According to Dr. Malhotra, reading anything that could make you too e xcited probably isn’t good for relaxing.Making it a habit to read every night before bed might make reading even more helpful for your sleep. This is because having a regular “relaxing time” before bed can help improve your sleep. “Adding a bedtime routi ne(惯例) of 15 to 30 minutes can separate your ‘sleep time’ fromactivities that can cause excitement, ” says Dr. Malhotra.Moreover, reading tires your eyes out. This happens with both paper books and e-books, but Dr. Malhotra recommends(推荐) paper books.“Most of the digital(数码的) readers send out blue light, and this light can cause our body’s internal clocks (生物钟) to not work correctly, ” he says. “This will make it more difficult for us to fall asleep. ”That blue light is why doctors advise you not to spend time using your phone too close to your bedtime. Besides, if you’re reading on a phone, you may easily end up opening up other apps and staying up late.On the other hand, sometimes you’re trying to finish a book but are having a hard time staying awake through it. In this case, Dr. Malhotra suggests trying a brighter light. You can also sit straight, or make sure the room isn’t too warm. If you do get really tired, though, it’s probably a sign that you need some rest.Reading might not be the best sleep aid (辅助物) for everyone, but if you’ve been experiencing some trouble recently, it might be worth having a try.30. According to Malhotra, what may be the result of reading exciting books before bed?A. Being awake.B. Being hungry.C. Being tired.D. Being Angry.31. Why are paper books recommended by Dr. Malhotra?A. To advise people to stay up reading.B. To encourage people to love reading.C. To get more money by selling paper books.D. To stop people being influenced by blue lights.32. What does Dr. Malhotra advise people to do when they are trying to finish a book but arehaving a hard time staying awake through it?A. Build a big room.B. Lie down to read.C. Put in a brighter light.D. Stop to have some snacks.33. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Read for FunB. Read to SleepC. Sleeping HabitsD.

But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio. It made Sara think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them. Ever since then she has been a fan of American country music.Country music is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. However, country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. It reminds us that the best things in life are free—laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside.Sarah hasn’t been to Nashville yet but it is her dream to go there one day. She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it. She knows that there is a Country Music Hall of Fame Museum in Nashville. There are also always a lot of great country music concerts with famous musicians and singers like Garth Brooks. Sarah has already listened to most of his songs. “Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history. He’s sold more than 120 million re cords. I hope to see him sing live one day!”24．Where did country music come from?A．The eastern states of America.B．The western states of America.C．The southern states of America.D．The northern states of America.25．The country music will remind us the best things in life like ________.A．the importance of moneyB．friends and familyC．great country music concertsD．the hope for success26．Sarah’s dream is to ________.A．learn country musicB．be a famous country music singerC．go to Nashville one dayD．see a famous country music singer（2022·北京门头沟·统考二模）Each year, you’ll spend a total of about 24 hours brushing your teeth. You’ve got to make sure you’re doing it right, day in, and day out — unless you want to have fewer teeth than your great-great-grandparents.Brush for the right length of time: The best advice for top toothbrushing technique (技术) are the best-practice guidelines from both the American Dental Association and the British Dental Association. They suggest almost the same length of time that you should brush your teeth. You have to brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day, every day.And it’s important to hit each and every one of your teeth. It is a good way to set a timer and don’t stop until it goes off. You can use the one on your phone, or even get a special sand t imer with smiling teeth to remind you that happy teeth mean no visits to the doctor. You can also get an electric toothbrush with a built-in timer that will keep you brushing for two minutes.When you brush, it is important, too. It is advised that you wait at least 60 minutes after eating, especially if you’ve had fruits. Brush too soon and you’re not letting your body’s natural tooth protection do its work.Use proper brushing technique: It’s also about how you do it. To make the most of your brushing t ime, you’ll want to make sure you’re using the correct technique. Use a soft toothbrush that feels comfortable and fits your mouth—a hard toothbrush can harm your teeth.Once you’ve got your brush all pasted (涂牙膏) up, hold it at a 45-degree angle (角度) to your teeth and brush gently. One big mistake people make is brushing too hard, believing this will be more effective and get their teeth cleaner, faster. Instead, think of the toothbrush as a broom —the harder you press, the less dirt it can sweep. So brush gently, if you want your toothbrush to do its job properly.Once you’ve thoroughly (彻底地) cleaned every surface of your teeth, don’t forget about your tongue (舌头). Research shows just brushing your tongue is effective at reducing bad breath. 27．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．When you should brush your teeth.B．How long you should brush your teeth.C．How often you should brush your teeth.D．How you can brush for the right length of time.28．Why does the writer talk about a broom in Paragraph 6?A．To show how you should hold your toothbrush.B．To stress the importance of brushing technique.C．To explain why you should brush teeth gently.D．To suggest some possible ways of brushing teeth.29．The word “sweep” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.A．clear B．spend C．stop D．hold30．Which of the following would be the best title for passage?A．Don’t Worry about Your TeethB．How to Brush Your Teeth ProperlyC．Brush for the Right Length of TimeD．It’s Important to Brush Your Teeth（2022·北京门头沟·统考二模）Can Training Your Working Memory Make You Smarter?We would all like to increase our cognitive (认知的) ability beyond the limits set by Mother Nature. So it’s no wonder that brain-training programs — which focus on training our working memory — are a multibillion-dollar industry. But can this kind of training really make us smarter?Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle (肌肉) that can be made stronger withthe right kind of practice. Although people did much research, there has been no agreement about its effectiveness. Some think that cognitive training increases some cognitive abilities, while others are less hopeful.Yet we do know that some cognitive skills probably go together and are predictors of real-life skills such as work performance. Thus, training one cognitive skill might lead to an improvement in many other cognitive and non-cognitive skills. That is the key hypothesis (假设) on which working-memory training is based.To test this hypothesis, we examined all the studies about working-memory training. The results were very clear. Working-memory training did not show any effect on children’s fluid intelligence (流体智力), a person’s ability to solve new problems and get used to new situations. It didn’t influence their educational achieveme nt or other cognitive abilities, either. The only dependable effect was that children got better at what they were trained to do. So performing working memory tasks does seem to make you better at doing them. However, the fact that participants (参与者) got better at such tasks does not necessarily mean that their working memory ability increased. They may just have learnt how to perform that type of task.The results do show that the use of working-memory training programs as an educational tool is useless. Beyond working-memory training, other recent studies have shown the limitations of different types of cognitive training.However, these negative (负面的) results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skills. We just have to realize the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it — the most efficient way to develop a skill is, after all, to train that skill.31．According to the passage, cognitive training probably ________.A．benefit the training companiesB．balance the learning skillsC．make us stronger through practiceD．help the children get good results32．Children taking part in the experiments were able to ________.A．be familiar with new situations quicklyB．get greater educational achievementsC．succeed when they solve real life problemsD．do better in the field that they were trained in33．What is the writer’s opinion on the cognitive training?A．The cognitive training is a useful experiment.B．The cognitive training can’t make us smarter.C．The cognitive training challenge the children’s skills.D．The experiment is helpful to children’s cognitive skills.2021年北京市门头沟区中考二模英语试卷三、阅读单选Our school will hold a book review meeting next month.

One day, he saw a magazine article that interested him. It was about prosthetics (假肢), which can be used to replace a missing body part, like a hand, armor leg.The article said people are using 3-D printers to build these devices (装置). Anderson thought this was very cool. He wanted to learn more about it. So Anderson talked to his science teacher, Dr. Holly Martin, about building a prosthetic together. The timing was perfect. Martin had just heard about a group called Enabling the Future. This group asks volunteers to help build robotic arms and legs. The volunteers build them for people who share their stories on the website.Anderson and Martin looked through the website together. They decided to help a man from the country of Romania. His name is Comel Crismaru, who lost his leg, hand and part of his arm.In February, Anderson and Martin got to work. Building the robotic arm was not easy. Anderson had some problems. He had hoped to use a 3-D printer at his school. One of the pieces for the arm was bigger than the size of the printer, though.Soon Anderson had an idea to solve this problem. He reached out to a 3-D printing company in Woodstock, Georgia. The company agreed to help. Anderson and Martin could use their big 3-Dprinters.

Songs and tunes fill our lives, influencing our emotions, bringing back memories and sometimes making us dance. There is a song for everyone and for every moment, but it seems that it’s sad music that moves us most.Sad music certainly does its job in making us upset, causing us to feel strong emotions –it’s something we might listen to after a break-up, for example. And a recent study has shown why some people are interested in sad music. Professor David Huron from Ohio State University conducted the research and found the differences between people who love to listen to sad music and those who can’t stand it.He told the BBC radio programme The Why Factor that it comes down to a natural hormone called prolactin. He says, “As you might have guessed from the name, it’s connected with‘lactation(哺乳期)’ from breast-feeding. When people cry, they also release prolactin. And, there are circumstances in which prolactin seems to have this comforting effect.” It seems that peo ple who like sad music are maybe getting too much prolactin, or more than is normal, and when they hear sad, downbeat music, it gives them a good feeling. But if prolactin isn’t released,or there isn’t enough of it, some people find that sad sounds don’t help to cheer them up.Previous research by Durham University has also suggested that listening to sad music can lead to pain and sadness; but it can also provide comfort and even enjoyment. A high number of people they surveyed were cheered up by listening to sad songs. Though the feeling may not be exactly the same as happiness, it may be the ability to deal with the sadness that gives the feeling of comfort.So, reacting to sad music on the radio may have nothing to do with the melancholic sound of a piece of music, but rather a natural chemical reaction taking place in our bodies. Maybe that explanation is music to your ears if you’re wondering why you’ve been listening to Billie on repeat!27．The writer thinks ________ can touch people a lot.A．soft music B．sad music C．rock music D．metal music 28．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．The way to enjoy sad music.B．The audience who prefer sad music.C．The reason why sad music touches people.D．The researchers who participated in the study.29．What does the underlined word “melancholic” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Awful. B．Blue. C．Magic. D．Soft.Teens’ behavior is difficult to change because they are very sensitive to anything they regard as a danger to their autonomy(自主). And, as many parents know, many problematic behaviors come about because teens aren’t motivated by thinking about long-term results and they won’t be willing to listen when you point out they are doing silly things.Among other things, these attitudes make it hard to make teens eat healthily. However, a recent study published in PNAS shows that it’s possible to use teens’ social values to motivate them to accept a better diet. The method makes sense, considering that teens are known to place a high value on their social environments.The study showed teens’ tendency to develop social justice(公正) goals during their adolescent(青春期) years — they often do this as a reaction to authority figures(权威人物) whomthey regard as unjust. The researchers designed an intervention(干预) to show the teens howhigh-calorie/low-nutritional value foods are misleadingly marketed as healthy choices. They also educated teens about poor people and young children were often misled into eating the unhealthiest foods. The intervention framed healthy eating as a way of “sticking it to the man”.The researchers found that teens who received the intervention were less likely to make unhealthy choices than teens who didn’t. After the intervention, they were more likely to pick snacks like carrots or fruit than they were to pick cookies or chips. They were also less likely to choose sugary drinks and food with low nutritional value.This study shows that it isn’t necessary to cause long-term results in order to encourage teens to make healthier choices. Instead, educating teens about the symbolic meaning behind the choices that they make seems to be enough to motivate them to make better choices.This finding has a lot of practical value. Public health professionals are often looking for ways to encourage people to make better food choices, and many food-based habits are developed in childhood and adolescence. If more young people are motivated to make good food choices, those decisions are likely to keep into adulthood and have a lifelong positive effect. 30．According to the passage, how does the study help teens have a better diet?A．By showing teens the long-term effect.B．By learning about teens’ food-based habits.C．By guiding teens to have a positive attitude.D．By using teens’ social values to motivate them.31．What do you know about the study from the passage?A．Teens are willing to listen to the scientists.B．Teens’ decisions are likely to have an effect.C．Teens learn about the influences of the study.D．The intervention helps teens make healthy choices.32．The writer probably agrees that ________.A．teens always choose sugary drinks and foodB．making healthy choices has a positive effectC．it’s easy to develop teens’ social justice goalsD．it’s necessary to have a lot of practical value33．What is the write r’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To guide people to improve teens’ diet.B．To introduce the study about motivation.C．To explain why the teens are very sensitive.D．To discuss what is the best choice for teens.答案：2023年北京市门头沟区中考二模英语试题21．D 22．C 23．A【导语】本文主要介绍了三名学生遇到的学习问题以及一些建议。
