30、，腦中有數(shù)億個(gè)神經(jīng)細(xì)胞在不停地進(jìn)行著繁重的活動(dòng)，大腦 細(xì)胞活動(dòng)需要大量能量?？茖W(xué)研究證實(shí)，雖然大腦的重量只占人體重量的2%-3%,但大腦消耗的能量卻占食物所產(chǎn)生的總能量的20%,它的能量來源靠葡萄糖氧化過程產(chǎn)生。據(jù)醫(yī)學(xué)文獻(xiàn)記載，一個(gè)健康的青少年學(xué)生 30分鐘用腦，血糖濃度在120毫克 /100毫升，大腦反應(yīng)快，記憶力強(qiáng)；90分鐘用腦，血糖濃度降至80毫克/100毫 升，大腦功能尚正常；連續(xù)120分鐘用腦，血糖濃度降至60毫克/100毫升， 大腦反應(yīng)遲鈍，思維能力較差。我們中考、高考每一科考試時(shí)間都在 2小時(shí)或2小時(shí)以上且用腦強(qiáng)度大，這 樣可引起低血糖并造成大腦疲勞，從而影響大腦的正常發(fā)揮，對考

31、試成績產(chǎn) 生重大影響。因此建議考生，在用腦60分鐘時(shí)，開始補(bǔ)飲25%濃度的葡萄糖 水100毫升左右，為一個(gè)高效果的考試 加油。二、考場記憶“短路”怎么辦呢？對于考生來說，掌握有效的應(yīng)試技巧比再做題突擊更為有效。1 .草稿紙也要逐題順序?qū)懖莞逡麧?，草稿紙使用要便于檢查。不要在一大 張紙上亂寫亂畫，東寫一些，西寫一些。打草稿也要像解題一樣，一題一題 順著序號往下寫。最好在草稿紙題號前注上符號，以確定檢查側(cè)重點(diǎn)。為了 便于做完試卷后的復(fù)查，草稿紙一般可以折成 4-8塊的小方格，標(biāo)注題號以 便核查，保留清晰的分析和計(jì)算過程。2 .答題要按先易后難順序不要考慮考試難度與結(jié)果，可以先用 5分鐘熟悉 試卷，合理安排考試進(jìn)度，先易后難，先熟后生，排除干擾。考試中很可能 遇到一些沒有見過或復(fù)習(xí)過的難題，不要 蒙了。一般中考試卷的題型難度 分布基本上是從易到難排列的，或者交替排列。3 .遇到容易試題不能浮躁遇到容易題，審
