Walking backwards might be a way to solve this problem. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backwardwalking group got two more, answers correct on average than the other groups.This suggests that the relationship between the concepts(概念) of time and space is important considering how our minds form memories. Time is really expressed via(通過）space,Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told The Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different way compared to walking forward. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can ameliorate our health, according to New Scientist, Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.Besides, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could.be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the Unegon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱） strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.（1）In the experiment, the first group was asked to_. A . walk 10 metres forwardB . walk 10 metres backwardC . keep on moving aroundD . stand in one place（2）The experiment shows that walking backward_. A . puts less tress on our kneesB . helps with the rest of our bodyC . uses more energy in a short time.D . improves the short-term memory（3）The underlined word ameliorate in the passage means_.

It reduces pain in peoples knees and backs.D . It allows people to solve problems in different ways（5）What is the best title for this passage? A . Lets exercise our brainB . Lets do an experimentC .

Its an interesting and exciting new improvement in todays world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources.The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a cars engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But thats not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the cars brakes are used. This is referred to as regenerative braking, because it produces electricity.Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldnt happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, I am low on gas. When it completely runs out, the warning reads, YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS! Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage? A . The hybrid car will be put on the market.B . Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars.C . When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning.D . The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution.（2）According to the passage, the word hybrid refers to _. A . a high-tech discoveryB . energy savingC . a new inventionD . a combination of two things（3）Regenerative breaking is an important process of the hybrid car because _. A . it allows the car to come to a quick stopB . it gives the driver a smoother rideC . it produces energy to charge the batteryD . it can control the speed of the car（4）Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars? A . They use less gas than regular cars.B . Theyre safer to drive than most cars.C . Theyre more modern than other cars.D . They cost less than regular cars.二、 根據(jù)首字母、中文提示填空 (共8題；共8分)4. （1分）Hearing someone came in, my younger sister hid h_ behind the door. 5. （1分）Everyone has a r_(角色) to play in making our country more beautiful. 6. （1分）Our head teacher gave a speech to the w_school last weekEverybody listened to him carefully 7. （1分）Please drink lots of water .Its good for your h_.（健康） 8. （1分）Kangkang, please fetch some _(粉筆) for me.OK, here you are.9. （1分）My brother helps me with my _(家庭作業(yè)). 10. （1分）Jack is the only b_(銀行家)in my small village 11. （1分）She told me a secret in a low v_. 三、 用所給詞的正確形式填空 (共10題；共16分)12. （2分）I _ _ (not visit) the Great Wall last summer. 13. （1分）The Kings _ (visit) a friend of theirs next week. 14. （1分）Did you notice the girl _(dance)when you passed by? 15. （1分）They have invited me _ (go) to Paris with them. 16. （5分）Its going to become (dark), and lets go home. 17. （1分）Its not right_(copy)your classmates homework, Wang Tao 18. （1分）The firemen decided to cut the iron fence_ so as to save the girl.(immediate) 19. （2分）I wonder if it _ (rain) tomorrow.
