While it is expected that students come to university with the ability to take a good set of notes, this is not always the case. High school may not have demanded it, so good listening and note-taking skills may need to be developed. TRY Being a positive, active listener. Sit down front and do not read or talk. Pay particular attention during the second 20 minutes (when you tend to lose it) and to the last minutes when a summary(总结) might be given or conclusions drawn. HOW? TRY Being a positive, active learner. HOW? Come to class with an interest in the material and with questions to be answered. You can develop these by anticipating the lecture and by pre-reading the text (the second is especially helpful if you find yourself having difficulty keeping up with the material). TRY WHY? Getting accurate notes, with special attention to the main ideas. Look for main points---from the prof’s verbal language, body language, or careful reading of his notes. If you still feel you’re missing the main points, try showing your notes to a classmate or the prof. TRY WHY? Going over new notes---10 minutes for each class---within 24 hours Because you lose 50—80% of the material if you don’t. 1. During a listening lesson __________.
A. the students might lose interest after 20 minutes B. most students might be absent-minded C. students prefer to talk to each other
D. students don’t have to pay attention to the last part of the lesson 2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Pre-reading what you read might help you understand the material better. B. Taking notes in class can help you master the main idea better. C. The writer of the passage is quite satisfied with high school education. D. One should learn to go over one’s lessons within 24 hours. 3. The article is probably written for __________.
A. high school students B. grown-ups C. university students
B
Long, long ago, people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’ t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole in a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
Years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fire. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.

On April 26, 2017, a big Chinese ship caught the eyes of the whole world. China’s first homemade aircraft carrier(航空母舰)hit the water in Dalian, Liaoning.
The new big ship is China’s second aircraft carrier. It was designed in China and built in China, too. It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide. That is a bit larger than three soccer fields.
An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea. It can carry planes and troops to war. Planes fly from the carrier and land back on it, and soldiers work and live on it, too. But building an aircraft carrier is so hard and expensive. It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials. For example, a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60，000 tons of steel. It also uses complex(复杂的)technologies, including radar, electrics, mechanics and weapons. Finally, it takes years to build one. Today, not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one. China has become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft
carrier by itself, after the USA, Russia, England, France, Italy and Spain. 8. In which year did China’s first homemade aircraft carrier hit the water?
A. In 2017.
B. In 2016.
C. In 2024.
D. In 2024.
9. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. An Airport on the Sea
B. China Has Bought the Second Aircraft Carrier C. China’s Homemade Aircraft Carrier
D. The Sixth Country to Build an Aircraft Carrier 10. What is not needed to build the aircraft carrier?
A. Special materials. B. Technologies.
C. Steel.
D. Wood.
11. How many aircraft carriers does China have according to the passage?
A. One.
B. Two.
C. Three. D
The baby is just one day old and has not left hospital yet. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. The researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face. She stares at it carefully.
A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus until a third card is presented. The third card has three black spots on it. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?
The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again.
Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats（鼓声）than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
12. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is mainly about the baby’s ______________. A. sense of hearing
B. sense of sight
C. sense of touch
D. sense of smell
D. Four.
13. What does the underlined word ＂it＂ in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. the card
B. the baby
C. the comb
D. the key
14. According to the passage, babies have a strong sense of changing in ______________. A. the size of cards C. the shape of patterns
B. the colour of pictures D. the number of objects
15. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats? A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment. C. To carry their experiment further. 第二节
