Question

【題目】閱讀表達 閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

Some people seem to have extraordinary (非凡的) memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain (《最強大腦》), can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!

You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the United States and the Netherlands (荷蘭), the brain structure (結(jié)構(gòu)) of ordinary(普通的) people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes shows no difference.

That’s because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron (《神經(jīng)元》) suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training, reported The Guardian.

Researchers found that a technique (技巧) called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.

By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain’s memory networks. You can link (關(guān)聯(lián)) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be the handle (把手) on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.

“Not everyone can become a (memory) champion. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level they’re at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.

社會文化類閱讀。本文講述的是通過刻苦訓(xùn)練，可以使人成為超級記憶者。通過使用記憶技巧，可以提升記憶力。

【1】根據(jù)“Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!”可知鄭愛強在一小時內(nèi)就能記住2660個數(shù)字，故答案為2, 660。

【2】根據(jù)“But according to a recent study by researchers from the United States and the Netherlands, the brain structure of ordinary people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes shows no difference.但根據(jù)來自美國和荷蘭的研究人員最近的一項研究，普通人和23名世界領(lǐng)先的記憶運動員的大腦結(jié)構(gòu)沒有什么不同。”，可知是相同的，故答案為Similar。

【3】根據(jù)“You can link something you need to remember with a place that you know very well”可知，當(dāng)使用該方法來記住某件事時，你需要把它和一個地方聯(lián)系起來。故答案為A place that you know very well。

【4】根據(jù)“New research in the journal Neuron suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training, reported The Guardian.據(jù)英國“衛(wèi)報”報道，“神經(jīng)元”雜志的最新研究表明，只要經(jīng)過6周的刻苦訓(xùn)練，你就能成為一名超級記憶者。”，可知時間是6周，故答案為Six weeks。

【5】根據(jù)“Researchers found that technique技巧） called loci nvented by ancient Greeks， can greatly help improve memory"可知位置記憶法是古希臘人發(fā)明的，故答案為The ancient Greeks。
