(2025扬州仪征期中)How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship(关系) between music and remembering a foreign language.
“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brains(大脑) like to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way. For example, kids can learn difficult words quickly when they are put in a song，” said Dr Karen. The findings may help those who have trouble learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr Karen writes, “A listen and repeat singing way can support foreign language learning and open the door for future research in this area.”
Many language teachers know the importance of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in the USA, uses songs to teach Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids we usually use music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for kids.”
“Sometimes I think if I had learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak much better English than now，” Hua Zhuying adds.
Our brain likes music, especially(尤其) for remembering. So if you are still having trouble learning a language, why not try singing it out
1 According to the passage, the best way to remember a foreign language is to ________．
A. remember the words in a song B. read more and write more
C. copy the words many times D. listen to the teacher carefully
2 The underlined word “catchy” probably means “________”．
A. 困难的 B. 无聊的 C. 放松的 D. 容易记住的
3 Dr Karen believes that one can learn a foreign language by ________．
A. reading the words again and again
B. using a listen and repeat singing way
C. writing songs with the language
D. listening to all kinds of famous music
4 The passage mainly tells us that ________．
A. many researchers realize the importance of language learning
B. many language teachers know the importance of famous music
C. our brain remembers a language better if we sing it
D. we will never learn a language well if we can not sing

My name is Christine and I'd like to tell you how I learned English.
Here in Brazil(巴西) we started to have English classes in high school. When I finished school, I wasn't good at English, but later, I found it interesting to listen to English songs and watch English movies. So I decided to study English at Fisk School when I was thirty five years old. I had classes with sixty teenagers in a big classroom at that time.
Because I had to look after my son, I stopped studying at the school after seven months. But I kept studying by myself. I improved my English by listening to English songs and watching English movies. When I had problems, I tried to find answers on the internet. During that time, my friends helped me a lot.
Now, I have no problem with speaking or reading. Most of my friends are surprised when I speak in English now.

(2025镇江外国语学校期中)Chemistry(化学) is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, at least for the beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing, Chemistry has a very specialized vocabulary(专用词汇). At first, studying Chemistry is like learning a new language. Also, some concepts(概念) are hard to understand. However, with hard work and careful study, you can finish this subject and get to enjoy it. Here is some advice to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book.
Firstly, attend classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible, always look back at the topics you learned in class, and read your notes carefully again on the same day.
Secondly, think carefully whether you really understand the meaning of a term or the use of an equation(方程式). A good way to test yourself is to explain(解释) a concept to a classmate or a friend in need.
Thirdly, be careful with the things which have something to do with Chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments in class carefully.
Fourthly, question often and don't be afraid to ask your teacher or classmates for help.
You will find that Chemistry is much more than numbers, formulas(分子式) and equations. It's often used in daily life just like Maths and Physics. Once you fall in love with it, you'll get lots of fun from it.

A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

(2025无锡天一实验中学期中)American and British people both speak English. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.
__1__ Often, Americans don't say each word separately(单独地). They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don't know”. However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not the only difference. Words for the same thing can also differ. __2__ Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
__3__ In England, if you are going to call your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”．
There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a pen？” But the British often leave out the helping verb. __4__
Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. __5__ Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.

How Can You Become a Successful Learner
Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.
Creating an interest in what they learn
Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programmes in English. This way they will not get bored.
Practising and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practise more. Remember, “Use it or lose it.” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners will keep practising what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. The Wright brothers did not invent the plane overnight. They succeeded by trying many times and learning from their mistakes.
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.
1 What do you depend on if you want to learn well
______________________________________________________________________
2 Why should you be interested in what you learn
______________________________________________________________________
3 Do you think learning a lifelong journey Why

(2025南京玄武期中)①A tree has roots. People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It's the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar(不熟悉的) word and you will understand where it comes from.
②As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives(侦探) who are just looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge(判断) the situation—look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
③As you know, prefixes(前缀) and suffixes(后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these and then put them in your memory.
④Let's look at one common root word used in English. “Alter”， from the Latin word, means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it

How I Learnt to Learn English
Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. __1__
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! __2__ Although I could not understand everything the characters(角色) said in the movies, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. __3__ My pronunciation got better by listening to the conversations in English movies too. I found that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It's a piece of cake” or “You have my word”. __4__ But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.
__5__ I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.
A. Now I really enjoy my English class.
B. I could also get the meaning by listening for just the key words.
C. I just hid behind my book and never said anything.
D. So I began to watch other English movies too.
E. I did not understand these sentences at first.
F. You should understand more than you think.
G. Finally I can say I love English.

How_to_Improve_Learning_Efficiency
In my class, some students can recite a passage within five minutes, while others spend much more time doing it. What makes the difference It has a lot to do with learning efficiency.
In my opinion, it's because some students are lack of good habits. It's hard for them to concentrate on the things they are doing. What's more, many students don't make good use of their time at home. As soon as they get home, they start playing games instead of studying.
Here are my suggestions. First of all, we should understand the importance of learning. Second, we should be clear about what we want and develop good learning habits. If you follow these suggestions and take action, I believe your learning efficiency will be greatly improved.
