30、，腦中有數億個神經細胞在不停地進行著繁重的活動，大腦 細胞活動需要大量能量?？茖W研究證實，雖然大腦的重量只占人體重量的2%-3%,但大腦消耗的能量卻占食物所產生的總能量的20%,它的能量來源靠葡萄糖氧化過程產生。據醫(yī)學文獻記載，一個健康的青少年學生 30分鐘用腦，血糖濃度在120毫克 /100毫升，大腦反應快，記憶力強；90分鐘用腦，血糖濃度降至80毫克/100毫 升，大腦功能尚正常；連續(xù)120分鐘用腦，血糖濃度降至60毫克/100毫升， 大腦反應遲鈍，思維能力較差。我們中考、高考每一科考試時間都在 2小時或2小時以上且用腦強度大，這 樣可引起低血糖并造成大腦疲勞，從而影響大腦的正常發(fā)揮，對考

31、試成績產 生重大影響。因此建議考生，在用腦60分鐘時，開始補飲25%濃度的葡萄糖 水100毫升左右，為一個高效果的考試 加油。二、考場記憶“短路”怎么辦呢？對于考生來說，掌握有效的應試技巧比再做題突擊更為有效。1 .草稿紙也要逐題順序寫草稿要整潔，草稿紙使用要便于檢查。不要在一大 張紙上亂寫亂畫，東寫一些，西寫一些。打草稿也要像解題一樣，一題一題 順著序號往下寫。最好在草稿紙題號前注上符號，以確定檢查側重點。為了 便于做完試卷后的復查，草稿紙一般可以折成 4-8塊的小方格，標注題號以 便核查，保留清晰的分析和計算過程。2 .答題要按先易后難順序不要考慮考試難度與結果，可以先用 5分鐘熟悉 試卷，合理安排考試進度，先易后難，先熟后生，排除干擾。考試中很可能 遇到一些沒有見過或復習過的難題，不要 蒙了。一般中考試卷的題型難度 分布基本上是從易到難排列的，或者交替排列。3 .遇到容易試題不能浮躁遇到容易題，審
