Passage D
（2019中考科普环保类选练）
Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn't be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. "Your brain is a learning machine," says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that's required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.
Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process（过程） in which the brain deals with information (positscience.com). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy （准确性）.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to tell sounds (between "dog" and "bog", for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It's a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long you're pretty quick.
The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process. To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you：playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language.... "When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do 'use it or lose it'," says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.
1. According to the new studies, what will happen to our brains?
A. They will not start slowing down until the age of 30
B. They will start working slowly after the age of 30
C. They can work as well as at a young age through certain exercises
D. They can not be improved once they start to slow down
8
2. The writer mentioned many ways to speed up your brain, EXCEPT_____
A. doing a million new activities
B. sleeping as much as possible
C. playing some intelligent games
D. playing table tennis
3. What can we learn from the text?
A. Using right tools is important for brains’ work.
B. Brain research deals with information from the Internet
C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer,
D. Many activities can keep our brains young.
4. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?
A. The train methods work better for the old.
B. People should train the brain to stop it from aging.
C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.
D. It is necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.
5. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If you are 71 years old, your brain is too old to train.
B. You can eat the food to keep your brain young and plastic.
C. Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to train brains.
D. You will feel younger when you train your brain.

Passage E
（2019中考选练）
If you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that
8
you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
1. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A. Reading and writing. B. Reading and listening.
C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening.
2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".
A. meet by accident B. discover
C. find on purpose D. look for
3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.
A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
8
B. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day
C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.
A. choose suitable listening materials
B. deal with new words in reading
C. read as many English books as possible
D. become fluent in speaking and writing English
