英语听力文章：记忆与糖的关系
It’s long been understood that there is a connection between memory problems and diabetes, a disorder characterized by excessively high blood sugar. Sugar provides the body with fuel for various processes, including memory processing. In fact, glucose carried in the blood stream supplies the brain with 90 percent of the energy it requires to function properly.
In order to fuel those processes glucose has to get from the blood to the tissues, where it can be broken down and put to work. High blood sugar levels, such as in diabetes, are an indicator that a body is experiencing difficulty moving sugar from the blood to the tissues.
However, some non-diabetics have a less severe form of high blood sugar, a condition called impaired glucose tolerance. And it is this condition that seems to be the cause of memory problems in a significant number of non-diabetic elderly people who experience memory difficulties.
Sweet Nothings
Subjects were given glucose intravenously, and then researchers measured how quickly glucose moved from the blood to the tissues. Next the subjects were tested for overall cognitive functioning and the ability to recall short paragraphs. The results? Subjects who scored lowest on memory recall tests also showed impaired glucose tolerance.
In addition, brain scans demonstrated that these same subjects each had a significantly smaller hippocampus, a
brain area important to learning and memory. The researchers hypothesize that impaired glucose tolerance may over time cause damage and atrophy to the hippocampus.
What can a body do to prevent this? A healthy diet and exercise can help maintain good glucose tolerance, perhaps preventing gradual memory decline.

写作技巧 一、了解高分作文的特点 要想作文获得高分，必须了解高分作文具有的特点，才有助于我们朝之而努力。高分作文一般具有以下特点： 1、书写工整，书面整洁，很少有涂改痕迹。 2、分段合理。全文分段一般不止一个自然段，让阅卷老师很容易就能找到作文所要求写的要点和重要句子。 3、要点齐全，不缺要点。 4、首尾呼应，自然成一体。 5、使用了大量的高级词汇和句型。阅卷老师一看就知道这个同学的功底非不一般，自然就给打高分了。 6、开头言简意赅，不啰嗦，不偏题，迅速引入主题。 7、段与段之间，自然过渡。有合适的连接词。 8、句与句之间，有恰当的连接词，使之自然成一体。 9、全文中同一个意思，基本没有重复使用某一个词、短语或者句型等，说明这个同学的词汇量不同寻常。老师自然就对该作文有好感了。 10、能够恰当使用谚语、格言等给文章添彩。 二、勤积累，巧准备 要想作文得高分，除了了解以上的特点外，还要在平时的学习中注意一下方面： 1、牢记课标词汇是基础 一篇作文多数是由积极词汇写出来的，这些词汇主要来源于课标。因此，牢记课标词汇是写好作文的基础。 2、掌握课标词汇和短语的用法 要想作文不扣分或者少扣分，有个要作文的语病少。怎么能够减少语病呢？这就要求我们在平时的学习过程中反复通过练习，掌握课标词汇和短语等的用法。例如，对于as soon as 、stop some body from doing something 、other 、another等的用法很多学生就经常出错。 3、高度重视同一个意思的多种表达方式 高分作文有个特点是：让老师发现你拥有丰富的词汇量，你的水平高人一筹。这由何而来？靠我们在平时学习过程中，逐步积累起来的。比如：今年的中考作文，谈的就是帮助他人的问题。同一个意思“帮助”，假如你就用一个动词“help”，岂不显得你词汇贫乏？假如你在作文中不断地变换方式，用help、give somebody a hand、 give a hand to somebody 、be in need of 等以表达“帮助”同一个意思，岂不更好呢？ 像这样的例子很多，比如：大家都觉得很简单又很基础的“表示的方式”就有：My name is Jim. I’m Jim. I’m called/named Jim. I’m a boy called /named /with the name of Jim. 等等。 表达年龄的方式有：She is 12. She is 12 years old. She is aged 12. She is a girl of 12(years old) . She is a girl aged 12.等等。 很显然，使用高级一点的更好。 4、加强练习，积累经验 学习语言最好的方法是运用，作文也不例外。我们要想作文得高分，必须经常练习，才能提高水平。 5、充分利用作文文 很多资料书上都有作文文。诚然，他们有很多值得借鉴的地方。 我们怎么利用它们呢？首先，我们先不要看文章，自己先思考一下：假如你来写，你会怎么去写，会用到哪些词或者句子等。然后去比较，勾出其中的好词佳句，并且把它摘录在专门的作文册子上。供写作时选用。 另外，背一些文也是很有必要的。 6、背诵一些谚语和警句 作文中如果出现恰当的谚语和警句，会有锦上添花的效果。 三、精心审题，沉着写初稿 很多同学看到作文后，下笔就写。这是不对的。一则很容易写偏题、写出病句，涂改后书面又不整洁，影响得分。 其实，会写作文的同学都知道，审题非常的重要，可以防止很多毛病，提高得分。那么我们审题要做些什么呢？

关于英语六级必背范文3篇 英语六级范文：一 Health and Life As the saying goes, you don‘t know what happiness is until you lose it‘ you don‘t know what health is until you are ill. "Health is of vital importance to life" sounds like a cliche to everyone, but it is absolutely true. The negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul, the harmful habits such as smoking, excessive drinking and burning mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plans are interrupted by bad health! Even a normal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health. How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy. Regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of sources, one should do at least two things for him/herself. First, hold an active and optimistic attitude toward life and maintain a mental well-being. Second, live a regular life and keep a balanced diet. Anyway, a healthy life is within reach when you begin to adjust your mind and body. 英语六级范文：二 Hopefully these essays include the topic in the writing

Passage One 【听力原文】 [26] I first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old, which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends.If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each oth er. Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student. We haven’t been in the same classes, sports or extracurricular activities. [27] Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house, and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests. In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn’t take the time to get to know. [28] Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is, for the social divisions that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places. 26. Why does the speaker say Joe Gumps became one of his best friends? 27. Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends? 28. What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe? Passage Two 【听力原文】 It was a bad night for Louis. His research in the neighboring town had taken longer than he expected. [29] It was late and he was very tired when he drove home. He turned into his building’s parking lot, but all the spaces were full. He drove back out onto the street looking for a parking space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty. Louis didn’t see a no-parking sign, but he suspected that if parking were allowed there, most of the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. He was so glad to see them that he didn’t even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in, parked, and hurried home to go to bed. [30] The next morning he went back to the lot to get his car. It was gone. He ran home and telephoned the city police to say that his ear had been stolen. It took the police only a minute to tell him what had happened. His car had been on a private lot. It had been taken away by the police. [31] Louis had to take a taxi to the city garage far from the center of town. He had to pay a fee of $40 to get his car back. In addition, he got a parking ticket—his first one ever in Greenville. 29. Where did Louis intend to park his car when he came back from work one night? 30. What did Louis think had happened to his car the next morning? 31. Where did Louis finally get his car back? Passage Three 【听力原文】 [32] Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed the creativity is a mysterious idea.It’s one of those things we all recognize when we see it. But we don’t really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don’t know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks? Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. [33]The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts. But we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. [34] Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is what creativity is all about:imagining the world in a new way. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. [35] In fact, you were born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what’s more, you use it every day almost every moment of your life.Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. It’s your creative mind that gets the meaning from the chaos of your experiences and brings order to your world.

中考英语之听力专题（一） ——整体分析 一、中考英语听力之考情分析 听力在“听、说、读、写”四项基本技能中，“听”占有举足轻重的地位，“说”的能力要在听的基础上培养和提高，而“听、说”能力的形成又有助于巩固所学知识和提高“读、写”能力。因此，要想真正掌握英语这门语言，必须从听力水平入手。 听力在整个的语言交际活动中约占50%左右。听力部分在近年的上海市中考卷中已占总成绩的四分之一，可见听力在英语中的重要性。 《九年制义务教育全日制初中英语教学大纲》明确指出，“按照语言学习规律，学生必须吸收相当数量的语言材料和经过一定的语言实践，才能获得运用英语进行交流的能力。因而，从一开始就应加强“听”的训练。 《2011年版义务教育英语课程标准》对初中阶段的英语听力标准做了详细的分级目标描述。听力目标共五级，听力五级目标具体描述如下： 1.能根据语调和重音理解说话者的意图； 2.能听懂有关熟悉话题的谈话，并能从中提取信息和观点； 3.能借助语境，克服生词障碍，理解大意； 4.能听懂接近正常语速的故事和叙述，理解故事的因果关系；
5.能在听的过程中用适当方式作出反应；能针对所听语段的内容记录简单信息。 初中阶段的听力主要考查学生对所听语言材料的理解能力。听力部分共有五个部分组成：选图片、快速应答、对话、短文和表格。学生对语言基础知识的掌握程度决定了听力理解以及反应速度的差异。取得听力部分高分的诀窍首先在于注重日常生活中听力的不断积累，因为语言是长期积累的结果。注重精听和泛听有效的结合；其次学会在平时用英语思维，排除母语的干扰。再次要学会在听力中“领先一步”。即拿到试卷后，快速预览听力部分的全部内容。做到听前已了解考题的大致趋势，听时胸有成竹、有的放矢抓住每小题的关键词。平时良好的心理素质的培养也是必不可少的。为了提高准确率，建议做到以下几点：1.答题时先做在试卷上。2.学会必要的放弃，不要因为一小题没听清楚而影响整个听力部分。3.听力部分结束后不要轻易改动答案。 二、中考英语听力之考点分析 一、考查的方式。中考英语听力测试的目的在于考查考生从有声材料中获取语言信息并处理信息的能力。考查的方式主要包括捕捉句子中的关键信息；理解和应答日常交际用语；对对话中的人物、时间、地点、事件、季节、价格等做出简单判断；理解、归纳、概括语段、对话等听力材料的主旨大意；根据所听语篇的内容进行推断以及记录相关的信息等。该部分题型设计由浅入深，由易到难，布局合理，情

2019英语六级考前背诵作文范文12篇(10) 10、Directions： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “Military Training” and you’re your article on the following outline. 1. 有些人赞成学生参加军训 2. 有些人反对 3. 你的观点 范文： Should College Students Be Allowed to Get Married? There is no denying the fact that it is a hotly debated topic today whether college students should be allowed to get married. Some time ago, the ban was lifted by some universities on student s getting married. To this people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that most college students are adults and that it is a basic right for those who have reached the appropriate ages to get married. Besides, they argue that with their biological and emotional needs met, these students will study better. // The ban on this means a severe violation of human rights. Many others, however, hold the negative/opposite view. They claim that the university or college is a place to study instead of a community to lead family life. Allowing college students to get married would adversely affect their study.
