Question

【題目】 The human brain is very small and light only two percent of our total body weight, but it needs about 20% of the oxygen(氧氣) that our body takes in. We can't think well if our brain isn't getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something. No one can remember everything. but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some suggestions ---none of them can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful.

When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will remind you of the information you wanted to remember.

Don't over-train your brain. When you've remembered a list of new words, stop studying. It's better to study a lot of material for a small amount of time than a small amount of material for a lot of time! But remember you do have to practice your new words regularly!

Our memory works well when we are asleep. If you want to remember something, go to bed and go to sleep right now after learning it.

If you have to remember something big, divide it into small parts. It's easier to remember 198756430387 if you divide it into four smaller bits:198-756-430-387.

If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can't, don't get angry. Relax and tell yourself, "If it's important, I will remember it later.”

One of the best ways of remembering is to make pictures on the movie-screen of your mind and it's fun, too! Scientists say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes, if we want to remember new information, it helps to make a picture story. Anyone can learn to do this.

【5】C

【解析】

沒有人能記住一切。但是每個人都可以學習如何提高記憶力。文章介紹了如何提供記憶力的幾種方法：把想記住的東西告訴你的朋友；不要過度訓練你的大腦；學習完就上床睡覺；把 一些大的東西分成小的部分來記；記不住信息時不能著急要放松；在你腦海形成類似電影屏幕上圖片。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“The human brain is very small and light only two percent of our total body weight,”，可知“人腦很小，只只占我們體重的百分之二”，如果體重50公斤大腦的重量是50公斤*2%=1公斤；故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù) 文中“第二段When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it.；第三段Don't over-train your brain；第四段go to bed and go to sleep right now after learning it；.第五段 If you have to remember something big, divide it into small parts；第六段If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can't, don't get angry. Relax and tell yourself；第七段One of the best ways of remembering is to make pictures on the movie-screen of your mind and it's fun "”，可知提高記憶的方法有“把想記住的東西告訴你的朋友；不要過度訓練你的大腦；學習完就上床睡覺；把 一些大的東西分成小的部分來記；記不住信息時不能著急要放松；在你腦海形成類似電影屏幕上圖片”等六種，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“When you've remembered a list of new words, stop studying. …But remember you do have to practice your new words regularly!”，可知“當記了很多的新詞后應該休息，然后定期練習。”，故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Our memory works well when we are asleep.”，可知“我們睡覺時記憶力很好。”，所以A表述錯誤；根據(jù)第五段“If you have to remember something big, divide it into small parts.”，可知“如果你必須記住一些大的東西，把它分成小的部分。”所以B表述正確；根據(jù)第七段“7One of the best ways of remembering is to make pictures on the movie-screen of your mind”，可知“把詞變成圖片更容易記住”，所以C表述錯誤；故選B。

【5】主旨大意題。本篇介紹了如何提供記憶力的幾種方法：把想記住的東西告訴你的朋友；不要過度訓練你的大腦；學習完就上床睡覺；把 一些大的東西分成小的部分來記；記不住信息時不能著急要放松；在你腦海形成類似電影屏幕上圖片；故選C。

本篇閱讀單選考查細節(jié)理解、推理判斷和主旨歸納能力。題1根據(jù)文本的信息“only two percent of our total body weight,”推算大腦的重量；題4要根據(jù)文本信息排除表述錯誤的選項；題2解答時要注意每一個段首的句子就是一個“提高記憶力的方法”。
