When we get old, we may forget many things from the past.41. ________
Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK, did a study on this. She invited 121 people to take part in it. They were between 18 and 86 years old. Sarah first asked them to listen to three musical clips (片段).42. ________ They needed to make a note whenever they heard the same clips at the concert.
To her surprise, the older people were just as good at remembering the clips as the younger ones were. “43.________ When we listen to music, the amygdala (杏仁体) in our brain ‘lights up'. This makes our brain think of music as something important. Other parts of the brain also work to keep this ‘important' information. So our memory of the music can last for a long time，” Sarah says.44.________ Doctors may use this to treat illnesses that hurt people's memory. Music may help these people remember things.
45．________ As we all know, music has the power to make us excited or relaxed. Experts believe music can make people, even babies, more creative, smarter and happier. Some experts suggest playing slow music to help us pay attention when we study. It's said that music can also improve listening skills and language abilities.
A．In her eyes, the result is useful. B．Then, she told them to go to a concert. C．But music will probably stay with us forever. D．Besides this, music can help people in other ways. E．This shows our musical memory doesn't change as we grow old.
第二节：(共10小题，计15)
A(跨学科·生物)
Do you have trouble remembering where you put your erasers Doing puzzles may help keep your mind sharp, but diet can make a big difference too. According to many studies, some foods may help to improve your memory. Why not try them
Scientists have found that sufficient (足够的) amounts of vitamin B2 can improve your memory. It's found in common things like milk and dark green vegetables. You can add a banana to your breakfast. It will be easier for you to focus on what the teachers say.
Studies have shown that eating fish once a week produces a 10 percent slower decline (衰退) in memory. Try a cup of tea. Not only does it keep your brain working right, but it also helps to relax and fight against mental tiredness.
We know that eggs are full of vitamin B12 which helps to fight against brain shrinkage (收缩)． To improve your intake of zinc, you can eat more whole grains. Whole grains help your brain work well.
　　If you're really serious about improving your memory, don't forget to make time for a good breakfast. A study found breakfast helped people score better on memory tests. And when kids eat a morning meal, their exam scores improve. “You are what you eat.” A well balanced diet is of course great for your bodies. What's more, junk foods like cola, fried chips and candies are bad for your health and memory. You should try to keep away from them.
46．(　)If Jenny feels sleepy, which food can help her do better in the morning maths class
A．A cup of tea or a banana. B．Milk or vegetables.
C．Whole grains or cola. D．Fish or eggs.
47．(　) What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．A cup of tea can help you relax.
B．Breakfast is also very important.
C．Milk can help improve memory.

B(潮流趋势·哆啦A梦的“记忆面包”)
Do you ever wish for a better memory during the exam season If Doraemon were your friend, he might give you his “Memory Bread”. Wait, do you don't know who Doraemon is
Doraemon is a round, blue and white robotic cat from the 22nd century. He travels back in time from the 22nd century to help Nobita (大雄), a kind but lazy boy. Nobita often has trouble with school and life. Doraemon uses tools from the future to solve the boy's problems.
The robotic cat, created by two Japanese artists, first appeared in a magazine in 1969. Since then, he has won the hearts of millions around the world through TV shows, movies and more.
One big reason for his popularity is the 4D pocket on his belly. This magic pocket holds many amazing tools. The “Anywhere Door” is a pink door. Just think of a place, step through the door and there you are. The “Take copter” is a tiny fan. You can fly as soon as you put it on your head. And if you press “Memory Bread” onto a page and eat it, you'll be able to remember everything on that page. These fun inventions make Doraemon exciting to watch.
But Doraemon is more than fun. It also teaches valuable lessons about life, friendship, and never giving up. In the “Memory Bread” episode (集), for example, Nobita eats too much bread and gets a stomachache. In the end, all the knowledge he ate ends up in the toilet. The message is clear: There's no shortcut (捷径) to learning.
So, kids, though it's fun to dream of magic tools, you already have the power to learn and grow. Even without “Memory Bread”， you can still perform well on your own.
49．(　)The writer mentions the “Memory Bread” at the beginning of the passage to ____．
A．explain one of Doraemon's most powerful tools
B．show that Nobita is a lazy boy with poor study habits
C．attract readers' interest by connecting it with exams
D．prove Doraemon's inventions can be helpful in real life
50．(　)How does the writer introduce Doraemon to readers
A．By telling them that two Japanese artists created Doraemon.
B．By describing what Doraemon looks like and how he helps Nobita.
C．By saying that Doraemon has won the hearts of millions around the world.
D．By explaining how Doraemon uses future tools to solve Nobita's problems.
51．(　) The writer writes the last paragraph mainly to ____．
A．encourage hard work and confidence in learning
B．show that tools like “Memory Bread” could be harmful to users
C．warn readers not to eat too much “Memory Bread” like Nobita did
D．tell readers not to watch cartoons like Doraemon during the exam season
52．(　)(高阶思维·标题归纳) What can be the best title of the passage
A．Fun of Doraemon's stories
B．Power of learning by yourself
C．Doraemon's magic tools
D．The lessons from Doraemon
C
Are you sleeping well One third of a person's life is spent sleeping, so sleep is a very important topic.How much do you know about sleep？Do you know what kind of relationship there is between sleep and memory
In psychology(心理学), memory is learning that has continued over time.Memory is divided into three stages: sensory memory, short term memory, and long term memory.Long term memory is divided into situational memory, semantic memory (语义记忆), and procedural memory related to “how to do”．
After understanding memory, what is a sleep stage Sleep is divided into several different stages as follows: the first stage is just getting ready for sleep, then gently falling asleep, then we go into the deep sleep stage, and finally the rapid eye movement stage.
You might think that your brain(大脑) rests when you sleep, but that's not the case.In fact, our brain is still highly active when we are sleeping.
There are different forms of brain waves that match different stages of sleep.When we are just about to get ready for sleep, our brain waves go into a steady (稳定的) and rhythmic(有节奏的) state, becoming slower.This stage is very important for our long term memory.Besides, it's good for getting rid of tiredness and restoring energy and immunity (免疫力) against disease.Finally in the rapid eye movement stage, this is when we are often dreaming.
Why do we sleep Two very important reasons are that sleep can be very helpful in our health, reducing stress, and that during sleep the brain cleans up waste in the brain and then helps to make those new memories form long term memories.So when we don't get enough sleep, we have mood swings, overeating and other problems.
Obviously, having a goodnight's sleep is important for our memory.
53．(　)The second and third paragraphs are about ____．
A．3 stages of memory and 3 stages of sleep
B．relationship between memory and sleep
C．3 stages of memory and 4 stages of sleep
D．long term memory and stages of sleep
54．(　)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Our brain is in the state of working when we are sleeping.
B．The brain waves become faster when we get ready for sleep.
C．We'll lose our memory and get angry easily with enough sleep.
D．The deep sleep stage is only important for our long term memory.
55．(　)After the last paragraph, the writer may write about “____”．
A．Why sleep is important to us
B．How we have a good memory
C．When we can go to bed
D．How we have a goodnight's sleep

Ⅶ.任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。(共5小题，计10)
Having a good memory is the key to learning effectively.But if you've ever found it hard to remember information even after reading your notes repeatedly, perhaps you're not studying in the best way.
While there are many methods that can help you remember things better, the most effective ones are to make meaningful connections between pieces of information.This idea is called the Baker/baker paradox(贝克悖论), and it was proved in an experiment.
In the experiment, researchers divided people into two groups and showed them a photo of a man's face.The first group knew the man's name was Baker, while the second group knew the man worked as a baker.A few days later, the researchers asked both groups about the man's identity (身份)．
The result was surprising.People remembered the man's job more easily than his name, even though both words were the same.Why did this happen After all, the word “baker” was the same for both people.
Here's the reason: when you hear that someone works as a baker, your mind connects this fact to a network of meaningful ideas.You might picture someone baking bread, wearing a tall white hat, or smelling of freshly baked goods.These connections create a story in your brain, making the information easier to recall.
In fact, the name “Baker” doesn't form the same kind of meaningful connections.It's only linked to the man's face，and it is a weak connection.If you forget the face, you may also forget the name completely.
The Baker/baker paradox shows that memory works best when new information is tied to meaningful stories or images.So, if you want to remember something better, try linking it to a story or something familiar.This simple trick can make all the difference.
71. What did people in the second group know about the man
They knew the __________________ of the man.
72. What was the result of the experiment
People remembered the man's name __________________ than the job.
73. What might you imagine when you hear that someone is a baker (答出一点即可)
You might picture someone is ____________________ and so on.
74. When does the memory work best according to the Baker/baker paradox
Memory works best when you tie the new information to ________________________________．
75.(高阶思维·开放) Give another method you often use to remember things well.
I often use the method of __________________ to remember things well.
