have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books; be sure you understand what you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing, first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing; check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.Don’t try to spend a lot of time researching learning methods.There are many students who know many good learning methods but don’t study well.They forget that the most useful learning method is to study hard.60.The main purpose of the article is______.A.to prove that learning is not difficultB.to make the readers be interested in studyC.to tell the importance of self teachingD.to tell the students how to study well61.The first thing to remember in studying is that ______.A.you must like the subjectB.you must follow the teacherC.you must enjoy learningD.you must study hard62.Among the following statements, ______is true.A.The more learning methods we have, the better we will study.B.Finding the best learning method is the most important in learning.C.Knowing good methods, you can’t be good at study without working hard.D.Once we have mastered a good learning method, we can improve our study greatly.CThe time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on in later life, a new study has suggested.Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the possibility of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.A child born in December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots.Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist.The study was gained by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported.Although these trends may be difficult to explain, relations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and autism.They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.( does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to?A.land onB.keep in touch withC.be engaged inD.break from64.According to the researchers, a child born in March is likely to become_______.A.a debt collectorB.a pilotC.a dentistD.an artist65.We can learn from the text that______.A.the month babies are born could only affect his intelligence and length of lifeB.People born in the summer months are more likely to get highly paidC.Spring babies may have the bigger chance to get illD.the choice of profession for April and May is very narrow66.What can be included from the passage?A.There exist connections between birth date and occupationsB.The fate has been already decided when people are bornC.People born in Autumn would be more successful than those born in SpringD.The time of year one is born decides which specific health problems one hasD“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the news of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same.I think there will be more news of scientific research, though.It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineer1月份百题精练(1)英语Word版含答案
