Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overleaming explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning. on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

A. a result of overlearning

D. a basic step towards advanced studies
70. What does the word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

Franz Kafka wrote that "a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. " I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn't seem to require any explanation.
We’d just finished John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. "Are you crying?" one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. "I am," I told her, "and the funny thing is I've read it many times. "
But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I've taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn't always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, "it’s about being a man, it’s about manliness. " I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth's soliloquies (独白)read as raps (说唱) , but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck's writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that "all these people hate each other, and they're all white. " His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.
Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do no. amaze but confuse. We mav succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.
66. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to_______
A. realize our dreams B. give support to our life '
C. smooth away difficulties D. awake our emolions
67. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?
A. Because they spent much time reading it.
B. Because they had read the novel before
C. Because they came from a public school. ,
D. Because they had similar life experiences.
68. The girl left the selective high school possibly because_______.
A. she was a literary-minded girl B. her parents were immigrants
C. she couldn't fit in with her class D. her father was then in prison
69. To the author's surprise, the students read the novels ________.
A. creatively B. passively C. repeatedly D. carelessly

A. introduce classic works of literature

So you think your teacher hates you? You're not the only one. Teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes, just like any two people who don't get along. After all, teachers aren't perfect.
However, most of the time, there are lots of reasons why you and your teacher might not be getting along. So try to figure out if your teacher really dislikes you, or if something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
* Is your teacher's anger aimed at you personally, or at something specific you've been doing ?
All teachers have something that they strongly dislike. Maybe your teacher hates it when people whisper in class. If you try hard not to do these things, the situation might get better.

4. A。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了什么才是真正的聪明这一话题。故答案为A。B、C、D项过于片面。
5. D。推理判断题。文章已经探讨了聪明的含义以及什么样的人是聪明的，故排除A项、C项；文章的中心思想并未涉及教育问题，故排除B项；故D项（如何教导不聪明的人）很可能是作者接下来要讨论的话题。
B篇：1. B。理解推断题。根据第二段的As children have conversations with caring adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows. 可知家长多和孩子谈话可以帮助他们扩大词汇量。
2. A。理解推断题。根据第三段中所举的例子可以判断作者认为和孩子交谈的机会就在平时的日常生活中。
3. A。理解推断题。 根据第一段和第五段的When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. 可知孩子在读和写的过程中总是模仿大人们的行为。
4. D。细节理解题。根据第四段的 He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters. 可知当孩子看到字母，并且把它们和熟悉的词汇联系起来的时候，他们就会想动手去写字了。
5. C。作者意图题。根据文章末句可知文章的目的是告诉家长要培养孩子成为好的读者，应该把读书的行为贯穿在日常生活中，使之成为孩子们每天例行要做的事情。
C篇：1.C。 第一段说如果你觉得老师不喜欢你，你可不是唯一的一个，师生之间有时候会有个性冲突，就像任何两个人关系处不好一样；毕竟，老师也有缺点。由此判断，作者认为师生之间处不好关系是一件很自然也是经常会有的事情。
2．A。 本题首先要从全文判断出作者是为学生所写。第二段作者说绝大多数时候，师生之间处不好关系的原因会有所不同，多种多样，因此你需要弄清到底是老师真地不喜欢你呢还是其它原因。接下来说这儿有几个问题，问问你自己吧，由行文逻辑可知作者提供这些问①Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. 有保证的薪水，史密斯认为，是努力工作的敌人，在那个时刻，学院很懒，没有竞争力，学生们也很懒。
②Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education. 因此，是个人而不是政府，应该向大学教育买单。
③Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.双方都想和平，但是哪一方都感觉没有能力来制止这场冲突。
④Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress .不幸的是，只要父母和孩子认为自己知道得比对方多得话，他们就永远为战斗下去，不会取得任何进展。
⑤The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. 孩子接触谈话，阅读，读书和写作越多，对于他们来说成为主动的读书人就越容易。
⑥There's nothing wrong with being sensitive, but if you react to criticism differently than most kids, this could be a factor in which you think your teacher doesn’t like you. 敏感没什么，但是如果你对批评表现得比别人格外不同的话，这可能就是老师不喜欢你的一个因素了。
