三、阅读理解（共13小题，计26分）
A
People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it everyone is different. I'll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that, once you've started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see some things when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about "How would I say them in English " At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I'm in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It's amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I'd try to hang out with friend who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I'd have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you' re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
（）1. The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about __________.
A. a week B. a month C. a term D.a year
（）2. According to the writer, __________ is a good way to improve your English.
A. thinking in English B. learning English grammar
C. watching English films D. reading English books
（）3. To the writer’s surprise, his English improved quickly __________.
A. in the university B. in the middle school C.in China D. in America
（）4. The best title for this passage should be __________.
A.The Importance of English B. My English Learning Experience
C.My University Life D. My American Friends
B
Researchers in the 1960s found bilingual（双语的）people scored higher on intelligence tests than monolingual people who speak only one language. The latest studies show that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer，but it probably does make you better at certain skills.
Imagine driving down the highway. There're many things that could attract our attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that？
The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function（功能）called the executive control system. It's quite possibly the most important system you have because it's where all of your decisions about what to attend to，what to ignore（忽视）what to process are made.
The best method to measure（测量） the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. Suppose you would have the word "blue" written in red，but you have to say the colour red. But "blue" is so eye-catching，and you really want to say"blue".You need to ignore it so that you can say the colour red. That’s the Stroop Test.
Bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to，because both languages are active in their brains at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other. This exercise might help in other ways too. Researchers say bilingual children are more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimer's disease.
（）5. What did the recent research find about bilingual people
A. They can safely drive their cars
B. They can manage their attention well
C. They can have a better control of imagination
D. They can easily pick out the colours they want
（）6. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Red B. The test C. Blue D. The system
（）7. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Bilingualism may do harm to people's health
B. Bilingualism may help children make more foreign friends
C. People must practice speaking two languages continually
D. People use more active words from their mother languages
（） 8. What might be the best title for the text
A. how does the Stroop Test work
B. What is executive control system
C. Are monolingual people smarter
D. Are bilingual people better at some skills
C
What can children do to succeed in school Here are some tips to help you become an excellent student.
Get a love of learning
It's not enough to know that school is important. You have to learn that learning does not stop with a grade it's a way of life. You can even learn a lot from everyday activities at home-reading，writing，listening to music or talking with your parents. All these activities are a kind of intellectual（智力的）development.
Get yourself planned
Make a work plan and put all the homework on a list. Without a plan students can easily forget what they have to do. Older students especially need such a plan as they have so many kinds of things to do in their lives.
Eat with your parents as a family
Dinner is a valuable chance for the family to spend time together. During dinner time，children have the chance to express their ideas，to argue and to develop their verbal（言语的）skills.
The process（过程）is more important
Many times，all we see is the grade. In fact，the process of learning is much more important than the result，because the result is always the thing of the past but the experience learned from the process can be used again in the future. When in need of help，ask others to give you the tools to find the answers by yourself. For example，instead of asking your parents to tell you where India is，ask them to show you how to use a map.
Keep your expectations（期望）high
Don't be afraid to aim high. You can reach your goals. Set practical（切实可行的）goals and do your best to reach them. If you make one step forward，you'll enjoy making more. In this way，you are building a bright future for yourself.

One possible version:
I have recently done a survey about how students find study partners.
Some students find study partners through the Internet. They believe it's convenient to find partners to study with online. Besides，they can get help from study partners whenever necessary. Some students prefer to join clubs to find study partners so that they can share experience face to face. What's more，they think working out problems together helps learn more easily.
As for me，I'd like to get study partners by going to summer camp because I can learn something new while having fun. Moreover，it's a good way to learn how to get on well with others.
