2 . We did a survey about study in our school. 73% of the students prefer hands-on (动手的) projects while the rest think tests are better for learning. Here are four students’ ideas.

Hands-on projects require time and hard work to complete. It teaches kids not to put things off. Some kids might get bored and be less interested in studying for a test. Studying also doesn’t prepare you as much for the future, since jobs at times will have more difficult tasks than simply studying for a test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family. —Bruno With a hands-on project you can be creative while you learn. It’s also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flash cards, memorizing information they’ll forget about after the test. Besides, with a hands-on project you can learn more than you expected, like problem solving, creativity, and different ways of thinking. —David When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they will most likely take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better. —Alice I think kids learn better studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn, you will remember it. Hands-on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time, and if you are stressed, you might not learn as much. —Matt

3 . 阅读下面短文，并从文后的六个选项中选择五个还原到原文，使原文的意思完整、连贯。

Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits.     1    

Create an interest in what they learn.

Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active.

    2     Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. 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.

    3    

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. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.

Develop their study skills.

It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study.     4     For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned.

Ask questions.

Good learners often ask questions during or after class.     5     Knowledge comes from questioning.

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．Practise and learn from mistakes.

C．Good learners find out the best ways to learn well.

D．They even ask each other and try to find out the answers.

E．And it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time.

F．Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.

4 . A. 回答问题
请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。

When you are learning English, reading can be important and helpful. When you read, you cannot only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When you read, the sentences in the reading materials (素材) can give you good examples of writing. Here are some good reading tips.

Try to read something at the right level. Read something that you can more or less understand. If you always have to stop and use a dictionary every time you read a few new words, the book may be too difficult for you.

Try to improve your vocabulary. When there are four or five new words in a passage, don’t look them up at once. You should try to guess their meanings as you read first. Then you should write them down in the notebook and try to memorise them.

Try to read regularly (有规律的). Read for a short time every day. Reading for fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday.

Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about the subject that you like because you are going to spend money and time buying and reading it.

7 . Students learn their lessons in class. They sit in the classroom and     1     to the teacher. This is a way of learning. Is this the only way for students to learn? Of course not. There is     2     way to learn. That is students can teach themselves. For     3    , if you cannot remember something     4     you are doing your homework, what will you do? You can look at your book to find the answer.

How to teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are     5     in or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions.
