【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了人類(lèi)的大腦是十分重要的身體部位，并闡述了大腦是如何運(yùn)作以及人們應(yīng)該怎么保護(hù)大腦。

【1】句意：沒(méi)有人真正了解大腦的一切。

此處作主語(yǔ)，應(yīng)該用名詞或代詞；根據(jù)句意，可知是沒(méi)有人了解；nobody表示“沒(méi)有人”，是復(fù)合不定代詞，故填nobody。

【2】句意：我們保持大腦健康的方法也可以相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)單。

此處作表語(yǔ)，其前被副詞quite修飾，應(yīng)該用形容詞；根據(jù)句意，可知此處是說(shuō)方法簡(jiǎn)單，simple表示“簡(jiǎn)單的”，故填simple。

【3】句意：事實(shí)是，就像你的身體一樣，你也可以改善你的大腦。

此處作主語(yǔ)，其前被定冠詞the修飾，應(yīng)該用名詞單數(shù)；根據(jù)句意，可知是表示“真相，事實(shí)”；truth表示“事實(shí)”，是名詞，故填truth。

【4】句意：我發(fā)現(xiàn)我可以通過(guò)想象我要記住的東西來(lái)改善自己的記憶。

此處在介詞by后作賓語(yǔ)，應(yīng)該用動(dòng)名詞形式；根據(jù)句意，可知此處是說(shuō)要想象要記住的東西；imagine表示“想象”，是動(dòng)詞，故填imagining。

【5】句意：如果你大腦中已經(jīng)有一個(gè)確切事件的記憶，那記住這個(gè)比記住日歷中的一個(gè)數(shù)字簡(jiǎn)單得多。

此處作表語(yǔ)，要用形容詞，構(gòu)成固定句式it’s+adj.+to do sth.表示“做某事是如何的”；又根據(jù)其前表示程度的副詞much，可知此處要用形容詞比較級(jí)；根據(jù)句意，可知此處是說(shuō)簡(jiǎn)單，easy表示“簡(jiǎn)單的”，是形容詞，其比較級(jí)是easier，故填easier。

【6】句意：另一個(gè)改善大腦的方法是確保定期去新的地方，有新的經(jīng)歷。

此處修飾其后動(dòng)詞visit，可知要用副詞；根據(jù)句意，可知是說(shuō)要定期去新的地方，regularly表示“定期地”，是副詞，故填regularly。

【7】句意：對(duì)話(huà)比盯著電腦屏幕或看著電視里的人交談對(duì)大腦更好。

此處作賓語(yǔ)，其前被不定冠詞a修飾，所以用名詞單數(shù)；根據(jù)句意，可知此處表示“對(duì)話(huà)”，conversation表示“對(duì)話(huà)”，是名詞，故填conversation。
