句意：我们都知道中国学生通常很努力地学习很长时间。
days天；time时间；hours小时；weeks周。根据“We all know that Chinese students usually study very hard for long…”（我们都知道中国学生通常很努力学习很长）以及生活常识，可知中国学生通常很努力学习很长时间。故选B。
【2题分析】

help帮助；give给；make制作；take带。根据“This is very good, but it doesn’t…”结合选项，推测意思是这很好，但不是很有作用。故选A。

yet然而；and并且；or否则；but但是。根据空前“your mind will be refreshed(清醒) and you’ll learn more”（你的头脑清醒并且学得更多）及空格后“study better”（学得更好），可知空格前后构成顺承并列关系，所以用and来连接。故选B。
【5题分析】
句意：心理学家发现学习是以这种方式进行的。
have found已经发现；have taught已经教学；have feared已经害怕；have protected已经保护。根据“learning takes place in this way”及选项，可推知心理学家已经发现学习就是用这种方法的。可知用have found符合句意。故选A。

to have有；to make使；to take带；to stay停留。根据“and you may give up”（你可能会放弃），可知此处是你的语言学习似乎停滞不前所以才可能放弃，因此选to stay符合句意。故选D。
【8题分析】
句意：所以你会认为你什么都没学到，你可能会放弃。
something某物；anything任何东西；nothing没有什么；everything每件事情。根据“and you may give up”（你可能会放弃），可知你会认为没有学到东西。故选C。
【9题分析】
句意：在某种程度上，你的语言学习将再次大幅提升。
work工作；jump跳跃，飞跃；walk散步；result结果。根据“yet you needn’t give up”（然而你不必放弃），因此此处指你语言学习将再次取得巨大的飞跃，所以不必放弃。故选B。

Few students like it, but homework is an important part of middle school life in the UK. The UK has these government guidelines（指导方针）for homework: Years 7 and 8 (ages 11 to 13): 25 to 90 minutes a day; Year 9 (ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day.
Today, students in the UK do most of the tasks（任务）on a computer — for example, preparing reports, searching for information or making posters online. So schools are usually open before and after classes. This way, students without computers or Internet at home can use the schools’ computers.
Sometimes teachers ask students to do “extended learning tasks”. This means they need to do more research and studies, such as working on a history or art study. Although some tasks need a lot of work, teachers will always give feedback（反馈）. They help students find the areas to improve.
Some schools send students home with a homework letter. They allow parents to check their children’s progress（进步情况）. Other schools have websites（网站）that parents can use to track（追踪）their children’s progress every day.
Sadly, not every parent cares much about their children. Some students said that they had no space at home to do homework. And some students said that their family did not give much help to them.
1. In the UK, a 7th grader might spend ________ on their homework every day.
A. 25 to 90 minutes B. 5 to 100 minutes C. 5 to 120 minutes D. 90 to120 minutes

A. Preparing reports. B. Making model planes.

4. In the UK, parents usually check their children’s progress by ________.
A. asking the teachers B. visiting their children’s schools
C. asking their children D. reading their homework letters
5. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Homework for middle school students in the UK is difficult.
B. Computers are useful for middle school students in the UK.
C. Homework is important for middle school students in the UK.
D. Parents are important in helping students with their homework.

【2题分析】
细节理解题。根据“Today, students in the UK do most of the tasks（任务）on a computer — for example, preparing reports, searching for information or making posters online”可知，在电脑上准备报告，寻找信息或制作广告，不包括“制造模型飞机”，故选B。

First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. And the time for rest. A weekly schedule can make you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner（角落）of your room. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, you should pay attention on the study.

【答案】例文
Dear Cindy,
I’m happy that you can come to see me during the winter holiday Let me tell you some Chinese table manners.
We usually eat with chopsticks. When we eat, we need to hold the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. While eating chicken legs, we can either use our hands or chopsticks. When chopsticks are not in use, we can put them on the table, but we cannot play with them or point them at others. In addition, we should try to finish the food in the bowl, but it is acceptable to leave some food on the plate on the table.
I’m looking forward to meeting you soon. And I’ll tell you more about Chinese table manners.
Yours,
Zhang Lin

C篇
Few students like it, but homework is an important part of middle school life in the UK. The UK has these government guidelines（指导方针）for homework: Years 7 and 8 (ages 11 to 13): 25 to 90 minutes a day; Year 9 (ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day.
Today, students in the UK do most of the tasks（任务）on a computer — for example, preparing reports, searching for information or making posters online. So schools are usually open before and after classes. This way, students without computers or Internet at home can use the schools’ computers.
Sometimes teachers ask students to do “extended learning tasks”. This means they need to do more research and studies, such as working on a history or art study. Although some tasks need a lot of work, teachers will always give feedback（反馈）. They help students find the areas to improve.
Some schools send students home with a homework letter. They allow parents to check their children’s progress（进步情况）. Other schools have websites（网站）that parents can use to track（追踪）their children’s progress every day.
Sadly, not every parent cares much about their children. Some students said that they had no space at home to do homework. And some students said that their family did not give much help to them.
1. In the UK, a 7th grader might spend ________ on their homework every day.
A. 25 to 90 minutes B. 5 to 100 minutes C. 5 to 120 minutes D. 90 to120 minutes
2. What kind of homework the students in the UK don’t need to do on computers
A. Preparing reports. B. Making model planes.
C. Searching for information. D. Making posters online.
3. How can the students finish their online homework without computers or Internet at home in the UK according to the passage
A. They can finish it at school. B. They don’t need to finish it.
C. They can finish it on paper. D. Their classmates can finish it for them.
4. In the UK, parents usually check their children’s progress by ________.
A. asking the teachers B. visiting their children’s schools
C. asking their children D. reading their homework letters
5. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Homework for middle school students in the UK is difficult.
B. Computers are useful for middle school students in the UK.
C. Homework is important for middle school students in the UK.
D. Parents are important in helping students with their homework.

Maybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. However, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule（计划）of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. And the time for rest. A weekly schedule can make you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner（角落）of your room. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, you should pay attention on the study.
Make good use of your time in class. Listen to everything the teachers say carefully. Really listening in class means less work after class. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher taught in class. Review the knowledge can make you remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you learn about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be too worried.
