一、詞匯。

　　根據短文內容和所給中文提示在空白處寫出單詞的正確形式，每空限填一詞。

　　A different kind of education

　　Last year，I 1.got/won/had(得到) a chance to be an exchange student in the UK.I found many differences between schools in the UK and those in China.

　　In the UK，the students have 2.six(六) lessons every day.Students can choose to take part in different activities.In China，kids are 3.under(在……下面) too much pressure.In the UK，kids seem to be more 4.relaxed(放松的) than us，yet they have their own difficulties as well.Every 5.week(星期)they need to write about two essays.Every unit they still need to write a big essay to build their opinions.It takes them a long time to 6.study(學習) in the library，sometimes 7.maybe/perhaps/probably/possibly(可能) the whole morning.

　　Life in the UK is really different.Children have more 8.free/spare(自由的) time to develop their interests.They can choose to do things they like at an 9.earlier(早的) age than us.But it also means that children should make their own decision and take good care of themselves.

　　Please send me an 10.email/e-mail(電子郵件)，telling your life as an exchange student in Australia.

　　二、語法填空。

　　閱讀下面短文，按照句子結構的語法性和上下文連貫的要求，在空格處填入一個適當的詞或使用括號中詞語的正確形式填空。

　　Remembering is important when we learn.Some of us remember best by __11__(listen);by re-reading;and __12__ learn best by using pictures and diagrams(圖表).Teachers try many of these different ways to help __13__ learn new information.

　　But a recent study says that successful learning means being able to recall(回憶) information at any moment.

　　The lead researcher said，“__14__ (learn) is about recalling.So it is important to make recalling practice an important part of learning.”

　　The research studied __15__ groups of students.Both groups learned something from a text.One group made diagrams about the text.The other group put the text away after learning it and tried recalling from memory.

　　Then，both groups __16__(test) on the information they had learned.Both groups scored well at recalling the learned information.__17__，when they were asked to return one week __18__(late)，the group who made diagrams scored better __19__ the other group.So by drawing pictures and diagrams，we are able to recall information __20__(much) better，which will help us to study.

　　Our mind，just like our body，has to practise too much to become good at them.
