Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
Unless you are one of those rare people with an excellent memory, you probably have trouble remembering the names of people you have just met. This problem can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) and embarrassing. L____51____, there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.
Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names, let’s look at the reasons why we are so f____52____ in the first place. Researchers think it’s due to a lack of motivation (动机). People are better at remembering things that they want to learn. To put it simply, you’re just not that i____53____. Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is more complicated (复杂的) than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don’t make an e____54____ to memorize new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.
All of this means that we need to take measures to a____55____ the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name. One good method is to say a person’s name when you greet them and also r____56____ it silently to yourself a few times, which is essential for learning any type of skill. Using a memory method, such as l____57____ individual names with something else, also helps. For example, if someone’s name is Ben and he is tall, you can label him (to yourself, of course) “Big Ben”. In addition, focusing on people and listening more closely when you meet them will assist you in recalling their names. Although forgetting names isn’t a matter of life or death, it’s uncomfortable. Putting these theories into practice will help you better avoid this social discomfort.

55. (a)void
56. (r)epeat
57. (l)inking
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一些如何记住别人名字的方法。
【51题详解】
句意:幸运的是,有很多方法可以克服人类的弱点。根据“This problem can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) and embarrassing.”及“there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.”可知,前面讲问题,后面讲有方法,结合首字母可知,Luckily“幸运地”符合句意。故填(L)uckily。
【52题详解】
句意:首先,让我们来看看我们如此健忘的原因。根据“Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names”可知,此处是remember的反义词forget;根据“we are so”可知,此处填形容词,forgetful“健忘的”符合句意。故填(f)orgetful。
【53题详解】
句意:简单地说,你就是没那么感兴趣。根据“People are better at remembering things that they want to learn.”可知,此处讲的是人们擅长记住想要学的东西,即不容易记住不感兴趣的,interested“感兴趣的”符合句意。故填(i)nterested。
【54题详解】
句意:我们通常不会马上努力去记住新名字。根据“make an ... to”可知,考查make an effort to do sth.“努力做某事”。故填(e)ffort。
【55题详解】
句意:所有这些都意味着我们需要采取措施避免忘记一个人的名字的尴尬。根据“the embarrassment”和首字母可知,此处指“避免尴尬”,avoid“避免”符合句意。故填(a)void。
【56题详解】
句意:一个好方法是打招呼的时候叫一个人的名字,并在心里默念几次,这对学习任何一种技能都是必不可少的。根据“a few times”及首字母可知,此处指“重复几次”,repeat“重复”符合句意;根据“when you greet them and also”可知,此处填动词原形。故填(r)epeat。
【57题详解】
句意:使用记忆方法,比如将个人名字与其他东西联系起来,也会有所帮助。根据例子“For example, if someone’s name is Ben/and he is tall, you can label him (to yourself, of course) ‘Big Ben’.”可知,此处指“把个人名字和其他东西联系起来”,link表示“联系、连接”符合句意;such as表示“比如”,as是介词,后跟动名词,故填(l)inking。

BOOK OF THE WEEK
Heidi
By Johanna Spyri
The novel explores themes (主题) of nature,friendship and kindness. Heidi is a little Swiss girl, whose honesty influences those around her. She goes to live with her grandfather in the Alps. She quickly learns to love her new life with him. But then Heidi must be sent away again to Frankfurt, to be the friend of Clara, a girl who is sick and cannot walk...
Chapter Five
Her first day in Frankfurt was a strange day for Heidi, but even stranger for Ms. Rottenmeier,the housekeeper.
At first Heidi couldn’t think where she was. When she woke up, jumped from the big white bed and ran to the window, she saw neither the snow on high mountains nor the little stream winding below. All she saw was brick walls and houses. There was no sound of the wind in the trees-only the sound of carriages (马车) rattling over the stone streets outside.
Heidi felt as though she had been locked up in a cage. But Ms. Rottenmeier felt that she was locked up with a strange, wild child. The child knew nothing of how to behave in a well-run house. She was late to meals. Her clothes were not correct. She made friends with the servants.
But Clara had become much more cheerful since Heidi’s arrival. She liked talking to Heidi about life in the mountains and about Heidi’s grandfather. For Clara the next few days were much less dull than usual.
Heidi was less happy. Tomorrow, she kept thinking, I really must go home. But one thing pleased her. Every day she took more rolls from the table and hid them in her room. She was saving them for Granny.Granny’s teeth were no longer able to chew the hard, black bread which was all she had, and Heidi planned to take back to her the lovely soft rolls as a present.
At last, one day, she started for home. But at the door she met Ms. Rottenmeier.“Where are you going? I have strictly forbidden (禁止) you to go outside by yourself!” Ms.Rottenmeier said.
“I’m only going home,” said Heidi. “I’ve been away too long. My goats must be missing me and...”
“My goodness!” exclaimed Ms. Rottenmeier. “The child is mad!” And then she ordered the servant to lock Heidi up her room.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了儿童文学经典——《海蒂》,主要介绍了第五章的内容。
【58题详解】
根据“She goes to live with her grandfather in the Alps. She quickly learns to love her new life with him. But then Heidi must be sent away again to Frankfurt, to be the friend of Clara, a girl who is sick and cannot walk...”可推测出,Clara的家在城市里。故答案为In the city.
【59题详解】
根据“But Ms. Rottenmeier felt that she was locked up with a strange, wild child. The child knew nothing of how to behave in a well-run house.”可知,Ms. Rottenmeier认为Heidi是个野孩子的原因是她不知道在一个管理良好的家庭中如何表现。故答案为Because she knew nothing of how to behave in a well-run house.
【60题详解】
根据“But Clara had become much more cheerful since Heidi’s arrival. She liked talking to Heidi about life in the mountains and about Heidi’s grandfather.”Heidi和Clara聊了聊山里的生活和她的祖父使她开心。故答案为She talked to Clara about life in the mountains and about her grandfather.
【61题详解】
根据“But one thing pleased her. Every day she took more rolls from the table and hid them in her room. She was saving them for Granny.”可知,让Heidi开心的事情是她给奶奶留了一些面包卷作为礼物。故答案为She saved some rolls for Granny as a present.
【62题详解】
根据“But at the door she met Ms. Rottenmeier. ‘Where are you going? I have strictly forbidden (禁止) you to go outside by yourself!’Ms.Rottenmeier said…‘My goodness!’ exclaimed Ms. Rottenmeier. ‘The child is mad!’ And then she ordered the servant to lock Heidi up her room.”可推测出,Rottenmeier女士在门口遇到Heidi时感到生气和惊讶。故填angry;surprised.
【63题详解】
根据“The novel explores themes (主题) of nature,friendship and kindness.”和通读Chapter Five以下的内容,结合“Heidi was less happy. Tomorrow, she kept thinking, I really must go home. But one thing pleased her. Every day she took more rolls from the table and hid them in her room. She was saving them for Granny.”可知,Heidi是善良的,此题答案不唯一。故参考答案为The chapter explores the theme of kindness. From the story,I learn that Heidi was kind to think of Granny and took rolls for her.

The brain allows us to experience the outside world. We remember, have feelings, solve problems, and control our bodies in our brain. Nerves (神经) from our senses send signals to the brain to let the brain know what is going on in the outside world.

Muscles(肌肉)

Unless you are one of those rare people with an excellent memory, you probably have trouble remembering the names of people you have just met. This problem can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) and embarrassing. L____51____, there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.
Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names, let’s look at the reasons why we are so f____52____ in the first place. Researchers think it’s due to a lack of motivation (动机). People are better at remembering things that they want to learn. To put it simply, you’re just not that i____53____. Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is more complicated (复杂的) than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don’t make an e____54____ to memorize new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.
All of this means that we need to take measures to a____55____ the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name. One good method is to say a person’s name when you greet them and also r____56____ it silently to yourself a few times, which is essential for learning any type of skill. Using a memory method, such as l____57____ individual names with something else, also helps. For example, if someone’s name is Ben and he is tall, you can label him (to yourself, of course) “Big Ben”. In addition, focusing on people and listening more closely when you meet them will assist you in recalling their names. Although forgetting names isn’t a matter of life or death, it’s uncomfortable. Putting these theories into practice will help you better avoid this social discomfort.
