Question

【題目】A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally， while a bad memory as something that cannot be changed.In fact， there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.Here are some tips(貼士) for you.

◆【1】

We all remember the things we are interested in， and always forget the ones that bore us.This explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results easily but struggle(掙扎) with dates from their history lessons! Develop an active interest in what you want to remember.One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more， the better!

◆ Repeat things in chunks(塊).

Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time， for example， remembering a phone number for a few seconds.【2】 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483.But look at them in "groups" or "chunks" repeatedly， and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 19318483.

◆Invent a story.

To remember long lists， try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember.In experiments， people were asked to remember up to 120words using this way.When they were tested later， they could remember about 90% of them.【3】

◆Take physical exercise.

Physical exercise is important for your memory， because it increases your heart rate(心率) and sends more oxygen(氧氣) to your brain， and that makes your memory work better.【4】 As we know， too much pressure is very bad for the memory.

A.Take an interest.

B.Exercise also lowers stress.

C.The test result was really amazing!

D.Another way to improve memory is to get enough rest.

E.Grouping numbers may help you to remember them.

【解析】

我們總是認(rèn)為好的記憶力是天生的，而記憶力不好就無法改變。其實(shí)這是不對(duì)的，我們可以做一些事情來提高我們的記憶力。這篇短文中給我們介紹了一些提高記憶力的方法。

【1】根據(jù)這一段中We all remember the things we are interested in…Develop an active interest in what you want to remember.可知，這里作者介紹的第一個(gè)提高記憶力的方法是：對(duì)我們想要記住的東西產(chǎn)生興趣，我們感興趣的事情就會(huì)比較容易記住。因此這一段的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是Take an interest感興趣，故選A。

【2】根據(jù)上句話for example， remembering a phone number for a few seconds可知，這里是拿記住一個(gè)電話號(hào)碼做例子。再根據(jù)下文But look at them in "groups" or "chunks" repeatedly， and it becomes much easier可知，這里作者建議我們給數(shù)字分組，這樣記起來就比較容易了。故應(yīng)選E，意為：給數(shù)字分組可以幫助你記住他們。

【3】根據(jù)空前When they were tested later, they could remember about 90% of them可知，利用作者介紹的方法，實(shí)驗(yàn)的結(jié)果有90%的人們可以記住這些單詞。由句意可知，這個(gè)結(jié)果是驚人的。故應(yīng)選C。

【4】這一段的標(biāo)題是Take physical exercise進(jìn)行身體鍛煉，這是提高記憶力的又一種方法，下面的內(nèi)容講述了鍛煉的好處，這個(gè)空應(yīng)與上文內(nèi)容一致，也來闡述鍛煉的好處，故應(yīng)選B，意為：鍛煉還能降低壓力。

這篇短文給我們介紹了幾個(gè)提高記憶力的方法。文章主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，第一段引出話題—如何提高記憶力，下面分成四段，分別介紹了四個(gè)方法。通讀短文可知，第一段為全文的中心段；下面的四段中每一段都有一個(gè)小標(biāo)題，分別是各段的主題句。了解這些可以幫助我們更好、更快地完成題目。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文，掌握大意，理清文章脈絡(luò)；然后閱讀后面給出的選項(xiàng)，注意五個(gè)選項(xiàng)中有一個(gè)是多余的，這也增加了題目的難度。接下來根據(jù)文意，尋找線索做題。例如第2小題，根據(jù)上句話for example， remembering a phone number for a few seconds可知，這里是拿記住一個(gè)電話號(hào)碼做例子。再根據(jù)下文But look at them in "groups" or "chunks" repeatedly， and it becomes much easier可知，這里作者建議我們給數(shù)字分組，這樣記起來就比較容易了，故E選項(xiàng)符合這一段的意思。再如第4小題，這一段的標(biāo)題是Take physical exercise進(jìn)行身體鍛煉，這是提高記憶力的又一種方法，下面的內(nèi)容講述了鍛煉的好處，這個(gè)空應(yīng)與上文內(nèi)容一致，也來闡述鍛煉的好處，故B選項(xiàng)合適，意為：鍛煉還能降低壓力。
