26、How to take notes

Every student knows the importance of taking notes in class. 【1】 Adults (成年人) need to take notes in meetings or training courses for work. So here are some ways to help you develop this important skill.

♦ Begin with the date and the topic of the class. This may seem obvious, but it’s easy to forget. 【2】

♦ Focus on the most important points. Trying to write down everything the speaker says will only make you angry. 【3】

♦ If the speaker uses a PowerPoint, you may not need to copy the slides. Ask if the PowerPoint will be available afterward. If so, you can focus on writing the things the speaker says instead. Or you can take a picture with a phone. 【4】 If so, print it out so you can write notes on it.

♦ 【5】 This will give you the chance to add any information that you didn’t write down. It’s best to do this as soon as possible, so that you don’t forget anything. This review will also increase your chances of remembering what you wrote.

Note-taking is a useful skill, so it’s important to practice doing it well.

A.Also, the PowerPoint may be available before the class or meeting.

B.Look over your notes again after taking them.

C.It will help you keep your notes organized.

D.Try your best to write down what you want to remember.

E.But the skill of note-taking isn’t only used in school.

F.Consider different note-taking skills.

G.Instead, listen for the key ideas the person wants to communicate.

29、After four silent years, the 27-year-old British singer Adele Adkins has finally introduced herself to the world again with Hello, the opening song from her third album 25, which will come out on Nov. 20.

Although Adele is a very successful singer now, music wasn’t always what she saw herself doing. At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.

"I wanted to fix people’s hearts," she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.

Adele didn’t go to medical school, but many would agree that she still has healing(治愈) powers. "Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele," said The Telegraph. "She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart."

Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label that she would spend "four or five years" making her next album. She told Vogue magazine, "I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21."

Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.

Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. "Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world," Adele told i-D." So I live a low-key life for my fans."

【1】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．The popularity of Adele’s album 25.

B．The healing powers of Adele’s music.

C．The secrets of Adele’s success in music.

D．The reason for Adele’s becoming a singer.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Adele wasn’t interested in music.

B．Adele wasn’t good at music at first.

C．Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.

D．Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.

【3】Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?

A．To live a low-key life.

B．To win the Grammy Award.

C．To guarantee the quality of her music.

D．To share the secrets of her heart as a musician.

【4】What can we know about Adele?

A．Her album Hello will come out on Nov. 20.

B．She has kept a diary since childhood.

C．She moved to the countryside before 2012.

D．Her works are based on real life.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.

For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.

Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.

Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.

Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.

Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.

Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.

This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.

There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
