In fact, there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory. Here are some tips(贴士)for you. 1. We all remember the things we are interested in, and always forget the ones that bore us. This ex- plains the reason why schoolboys remember football results easily but struggle(挣扎)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 questionsthe more, the better! Repeat things in chunks(块). Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time, for example, re- membering a phone number for a few seconds. 2. The following numbers would be impos- sible for most of us to remember:1492178919318483. But look at them in “groups”or “chunks”repeatedly, and it becomes much easier:1492 1789 1931 8483.,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 120 words 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(氧气)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.,答案 语篇解读 本文为说明文,介绍了形成良好记忆力的方法。 1.A A选项意为“发展一个兴趣爱好。”设空处后提示:我们会记得我们感兴趣的东西,为了 你想记住的东西,积极发展一个兴趣爱好。所以答案为A。 2.E E选项意为“组合数字能帮助你记住它们。”设空处后是一个数字分组记忆的事例,所 以答案选E。 3.C C选项意为“测验结果真令人惊叹!”设空处前讲的实验取得了可喜的结果,且该设空处 位于该段结尾应是总结性的句子。所以答案为C。 4.B B选项意为“锻炼也可以减压。”设空处前提示锻炼身体能让记忆力更好,其后提示压 力太大,记忆力就不好。所以答案为B。,Passage 2(2018长沙) 阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。,In Hebei, there is a small village called Yeli. Through the village, you can see green trees along the riverbank. However, you can hardly imagine that, about 16 years ago, this area was covered with,rocks and weeds(杂草). The big change is all because of years of hard work by two best friends:Jia Haixia, who is blind, and Jia Wenqi, who has no arms. The two friends decided to plant trees to make a living back in 2002. Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each others eyes and hands. With little money to buy young trees, they had to collect and plant cuttings(插枝,插条). Every morning, they went to the riverbank together. Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friends empty sleeves(衣袖). After they arrived at the riverbank, Jia Haixia would climb on his friends shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best. After that, they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together. They planted 800 trees in the first year, but only two survived(存活). They didnt give up. Instead, they continued to plant more in the next few years. The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees. Today, the two friends no longer need to make a living by planting trees, but they have no plans to stop. They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flood-,ing(洪水)and to improve the local environment. 1.Where did the story take place? 2.Could people see many green trees there 16 years ago? 3.How did these two disabled men work together?(No more than 12 words) 4.How many trees are there along the riverbank nowadays? 5.Whats the purpose of their planting trees now?,答案 语篇解读 本文为记叙文,讲述了两个人身残志坚,不离不弃,互为手眼,将荒滩变成绿洲,努 力为环境做出贡献的故事。 1.In Yeli, Hebei. 由第一段第一句可知。 2.No. 由第一段第三句However, you can hardly imagine that, about 16 years ago, this area was covered with rocks and weeds(杂草).可知大约十六年前,这片地区被岩石和杂草覆盖。 3.They worked together by becoming each others eyes and hands. 由第二段第二句Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each others eyes and hands.可知。 4.Over ten thousand. 由第三段最后一句The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees. 可知。 5.To protect the village from flooding and to improve the local environment. 由第四段最后一 句They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding (洪水)and to improve the local environment.可知。,Passage 3(2018郴州,第二节) 阅读短文,然后根据短文内容简要回答问题。 Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰) from his son.
