Do you find it hard to learn math and history A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London, may be of help to you. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoon.
The researchers did a study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored on average (平均) 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon.
In history, students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, it doesn’t work for other subjects such as languages or geography.
Velichka Dimitrova, leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day.
“In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention,” Dimitrova told The Telegraph.
“In the afternoon, it seems that this process (过程) slows down. On the other hand, history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said.
Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and repetition (重复), and they also need people to be creative. This is perhaps why the time of day has no influence on learning.
Time-of-day effects such as those are believed to be connected to the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried out later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults.
Dimitrova believes schools should take this chance to improve students’ performance just by changing their timetables.
49. It is believed that the time-of-day effects have something to do with a student’s _____.
A. age B. hobby C. body clock D. learning habit
50. Dimitrova is sure that ______.
A. it is better to learn history and math in the morning
B. changing timetables properly can improve students’ performance
C. different times of a day have some influence on learning languages
D. it makes no difference for lower-ability students to learn math in the afternoon
51. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The good advice on managing a school.
B. The importance of learning history and math.
C. The good ways to get higher scores in history and math.
D. The influence of timetables on history and math learning.
C
Right now, the biggest source of energy (能源) in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of harm. Another problem is that we’re running out of it.
A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power (核能). Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. A lot of ships also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages (优点). First of all, we can’t run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn’t need to buy as much oil from other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Russia. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011 there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. That was several years ago, but Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
Many people don’t want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it’s not safe. A lot of people in the United States, Russia, France, Japan, India, and many other countries want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity (电力). Sometimes they get together to show their strong disagreement with nuclear energy.
Many people hate nuclear energy, but more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don’t have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.
52. In the second sentence of the fifth paragraph, what does the underlined word “it” mean
A. The country. B. Nuclear power. C. A person. D. The electricity.
53. What can we learn from the passage
A. Nuclear power is a kind of fossil fuels. B. There have been two nuclear accidents by now.
C. Nuclear power is easy enough to make. D. People may run out of fossil fuel one day.
54. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _____________.
That’s why we need new sources of energy.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
55. What would be the best title for the passage
A. A Safe Source of Energy B. The Best Energy Source in the World!
C. Everyone Loves Nuclear Power D. We Should Only Use Fossil Fuel

阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。（本节共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
Do you like to take the train to travel If so, what does taking the train mean to you？Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination（目的地）.In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.
On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service(服务).
Its inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures. Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers(乘客) can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a mobile star hotel because they can enjoy many activities here. It has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong(麻将) room.
Travellers like its luxury service(高档服务) very much. But train travel interests people for other reasons. In the fast-paced(快节奏的) times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery(风景) outside.
It may be surprising for you to meet new people. Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world---the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sheng met a Russian student while taking the train and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds(瓜子).Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice.”
When did China’s first panda-themed tourist train leave Chengdu for Zunyi？

They have trouble communicating with others. The elderly feel lonely because they can’t meet their old friends as often as before. Many hands make light work. We should save our pocket money to help those in need.
