[2026 辽宁沈阳期末]It's a common belief that fish can't remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.
In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African Cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African Cichlids might have a good memory. But there was no clear evidence until the latest findings.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them—they may remember who you are.

14. A 细节理解题。根据“It's a... It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them.”可知,人们为鱼感到难过是因为认为它们的记忆只有7秒,记忆力很差。故选 A 项。
15. D 细节理解题。根据“A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.”和第二段的实验描述可知,研究目的是验证鱼类的记忆力是否比人们认为的更好。故选 D 项。
16. D 推理判断题。本文介绍了关于鱼类记忆力的科学研究,属于科普类文章,最可能出现在科学杂志上。故选 D 项。

Ⅲ.阅读还原(10分)
答案 17—21 | | | | |
Maybe you are an ordinary student. 17
However, anyone can become a better student if
he or she wants to. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully.
When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule (进度表) of your time. First, arrange (安排) your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good regular time for studying. 18 It's also important to relax. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will help you realize what is happening to your time.
Make good use of your time in class.
19 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.
When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, and read that material. 20 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
21
The purpose of a test is to show what you have learnt about a subject. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overworried.
These are some ways that might help you with your study. You will probably discover many others after you have tried them.
A. These will help you understand the next class.
B. Develop a good attitude (态度) towards tests.
C. You probably think you will never be a top student.
D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment (娱乐).
F. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.

17—21 C E F A B
17. C 根据语境可知,C 项(你可能认为你永远不会成为一名顶尖的学生。)符合语境。
18. E 根据“It's also important to relax.”可知,空处应是有关放松。E 项(别忘了留出足够的时间娱乐。)符合语境。
19. F 根据“Make good use of your time in class.”可知,空处应是与课堂相关。F 项(利用上课时间听老师说的每一句话。)符合语境。
20. A 根据“go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, and read that material”并结合选项可知,空处应是这样做的意义。A 项(这些将帮助你理解下一节课。)符合语境。
21. B 根据“The purpose of a test is to show what you have learnt about a subject.”可知,此处的建议应是与测试有关。B 项(培养对测试的良好态度。)符合语境。
