In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember word better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something. It goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized. When you put away a book-or memory- you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is “height”, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 14. In the writer's opinion, students can't remember words because_____. A. they have memory problems B. they are too worried C. they don’t use a proper way D. they don't like to study 15. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A. Short-term memory is seldom used B. What we see goes into long-term memory first. C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 16. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to_____. A. everything in life B. something you’ve seen, heard or read C. short-term memory D. long-term memory 17. This passage mainly tells us about_____. A. language students' problems in study B. how to make the meaning of words stronger C. short-term and long-term memory D. how to improve ways to remember words 【答案】14. C 15. C 16. B 17. D 【解析】 【分析】学语言的学生记不住单词经常认为他们有记忆问题，事实上他们是不知道如何学习，不了解记忆是如何工作的。记忆分短期记忆和长期记忆，我们需要把短期记忆变成长期记忆，那就记住了单词。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。A. they have memory problems他们有记忆问题；B. they are too worried他们太担心了；C. they don’t use a proper way他们不使用正确的方法；D. they don't like to study他们不喜欢学习；定位至第一段最后一句“In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.”所以是他们不知道如何学习，没有正确的方法，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。A. Short-term memory is seldom used短期记忆很少使用；B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.我们看到的首先进入长期记忆；C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.如果一个单词进入短期记忆，我们很快就会忘记它；D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.如果一个单词进入长期记忆，我们就永远不会忘记它；A选项文中没有提及；B选项定位至第二段“It goes first into short-term memory. ”首先是短期记忆，所以B错误；D选项never太绝对，文中出现的是“sometimes”，所以D错误；C选项定位至文中第二段“But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds.”但是短期记忆只能持续几秒钟，所以正确。故选C。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。定位至第二段“It goes first into short-term memory.”，联系上文“When you see, hear or read something.”所以此处是你看到、听到或读到的东西，故选B。 【17题详解】 主旨大意题。A. language students' problems in study语言学生的学习问题；B. how to make the meaning of words stronger如何强化单词的意义；C. short-term and long-term memory短期记忆和长期记忆；D. how to improve ways to remember words如何提高记忆单词的方法；全文围绕how to improve ways to remember words展开。A、B、C选项虽然文章也有提及到，但是内容不全面。故选D。 C A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said,“I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps (脚步) and asked,“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.” Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course, both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way! 18. What did the boy do on the street? A. He sold his old hat. B. He begged (乞讨) for money. C. He was busy collecting coins. D. He showed his good handwriting. 19. How did the man help the blind boy? A. He took the boy’s sign away. B. He gave the boy a lot of money. C. He changed the words on the sign. D. He asked other people to help the blind boy. 20 What does the underlined word “recognized” mean? A. 辨认出 B. 看到 C. 承认 D. 注意到 21. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A kind and clever man. B. A blind boy in the street. C. Let’s help the disabled people. D. Different words make a difference. 【答案】18 B 19. C 20. A 21. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一个男人把一个盲人孩子乞讨的标牌上的话进行了修改，得到了不一样的结果的故事。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He held up a sign which said,‘I am blind, please help.’ There were only a few coins in the hat.”可知，男孩坐在街上乞讨。故选B。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.”可知，这个人通过改变标牌上的文字来帮助男孩。故选C。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文男孩问的“The boy recognized his footsteps (脚步) and asked,‘Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?’”可知，男孩通过听脚步声辨认出帮助他的那个人，因此划线词是“辨认出”。故选A。 【21题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，整篇文章强调不同的话语会产生不同的效果，因此最佳标题为“Different words make a difference”。故选D。 D China launched (发射) its Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft at 9:31 a.m. on May 30, 2023. The spacecraft carried three astronauts. About 8. 5 hours later, they entered their “space home”, the Tiangong space station.

On June 4, the Shenzhou-15 astronauts returned to Earth after their own six-month mission (飞行任务). The Shenzhou-16 crew is led by Jing Haipeng. He has become the first Chinese astronaut to go into space for the fourth time. The other two members are flight engineer Zhu Yangzhu and payload expert (载荷专家) Gui Haichao. Both of them are newcomers to space. Zhu is China’s first flight engineer heading to space. Gui, a university professor, is China’s first civilian (平民) astronaut. He’s also the country’s first astronaut to wear glasses. This has come as a surprise to many people. The three astronauts will be staying on the space station for about five months. There will be a lot of work for them to do. They’ll continue to conduct spacewalks and do scientific experiments (实验). They’ll do repair work on the station and install (安装) new payloads outside of it. Teaching activities will also continue during their stay. The Tiangong space station has entered a new stage.

They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember word better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something. It goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized. When you put away a book-or memory- you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is “height”, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 14. In the writer's opinion, students can't remember words because_____. A. they have memory problems B. they are too worried C. they don’t use a proper way D. they don't like to study 15. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A. Short-term memory is seldom used B. What we see goes into long-term memory first. C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 16. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to_____. A. everything in life B. something you’ve seen, heard or read C. short-term memory D. long-term memory 17. This passage mainly tells us about_____. A. language students' problems in study B. how to make the meaning of words stronger C. short-term and long-term memory D. how to improve ways to remember words C A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said,“I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps (脚步) and asked,“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.” Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course, both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way! 18 What did the boy do on the street? A. He sold his old hat. B. He begged (乞讨) for money. C. He was busy collecting coins. D. He showed his good handwriting. 19. How did the man help the blind boy? A. He took the boy’s sign away. B. He gave the boy a lot of money. C. He changed the words on the sign. D. He asked other people to help the blind boy. 20. What does the underlined word “recognized” mean? A. 辨认出 B. 看到 C. 承认 D. 注意到 21. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A kind and clever man. B. A blind boy in the street. C. Let’s help the disabled people. D. Different words make a difference. D China launched (发射) its Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft at 9:31 a.m. on May 30, 2023. The spacecraft carried three astronauts. About 8. 5 hours later, they entered their “space home”, the Tiangong space station. Their arrival marked the first crew rotation (人员轮换) at the space station after its construction was completed at the end of 2022. Before their arrival, China already had three Shenzhou-15 astronauts on Tiangong space station. They were sent to the space station in November, 2022.

There will be a lot of work for them to do. They’ll continue to conduct spacewalks and do scientific experiments (实验). They’ll do repair work on the station and install (安装) new payloads outside of it. Teaching activities will also continue during their stay. The Tiangong space station has entered a new stage.
