The list is endless. But there’s 　2     that can help you: mnemonics. 　　Mnemonics are techniques(技巧) to help you remember things. There are a variety of them, 　3     rhymes, spelling acronyms (首字母缩略词) and sentence mnemonics. 　　Rhymes are a great way 　4     things.

Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence 　8     on the letters of a target word. For example, the following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word “because”, “Big elephants can always understand small elephants.” Notice how the 　9     letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word “because”. This one 　10     to remind you to include the “h” in the word “which”, “Which house is Cath’s house?” To spell Mississippi, a rhythm mnemonic is combined with a spelling one: “miss iss ippi”. And 　11     you can’t remember the spelling of the word “mnemonics”, use this one “Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he is sick.” Sentence mnemonics are also 　12    .

However, computers don’t forget information, and humans often do. No one remembers everything. Luckily we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions. ◆Try to use new information at once. If you meet someone who says, “Hi! I’m Carlos.” Don’t just answer “Hello”. Repeat (重复) the person’s name. Say “Hello, Carlos.” ◆Break a big number into smaller parts. It’s hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109, 244 and 153, it becomes easier. ◆Always review information. If you bring what you’ve learned back to your mind, it becomes easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to read the new things you’ve learned that day. ◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. ◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. Be confident! You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory can get better if they follow the right ways.  1.How many differences between the human brain and computers can we find in the passage? A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five. 2.When we get new knowledge, we had better 　　　.  A.use it immediately B.repeat it all the day C.write it down and send it to someone D.have a talk with someone 3.How can people memorize a big number more easily according to the passage? A.By keeping it in a computer. B.By breaking it into smaller parts. C.By reading it again and again. D.By reviewing it before sleeping. 4.Which is NOT the right way to help you improve your memory? A.Having discussions with friends. B.Reviewing your new knowledge in time. C.Finding a quiet place to think the unknown question. D.Being confident in your memory. 5.What does the underlined sentence “Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.” in the last paragraph mean? A.You should tell others about your bad memory. B.You should believe in other people all the time. C.You should ask others to improve their memory. D.You should be confident in your memory. B 　　 Many people complain that their memory is bad, especially as they get older. Life would be easier if we could remember things effortlessly. So how can we improve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. This of course helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), but psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it can help you to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers (祈祷文) that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848. According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture connected to a word you want to remember in your mind. Another method is to make up a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In an experiment, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them! For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists think that the best way to remember the information is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease (疾病), you would ask yourself questions like “Do people get it from water?” or “What parts of the body does it influence?” This is said to be far more effective than time-consuming repeating. 1.Which of the following is true about repeating things according to the passage? A.It helps to remember things for long. B.It makes remembering things interesting. C.It helps short-term memory for sure. D.It makes remembering prayers effortless.　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　 2.The underlined word “chunks” in Paragraph 2 probably means “　　　”.  A.groups B.turns C.details D.lines 3.How many ways of remembering things are mentioned in the passage? A.6. B.5. C.4. D.3. 4.What can we infer from the passage? A.Creating a picture is useful in learning math. B.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly. C.Remembering long numbers is easy for people. D.Asking yourself questions helps improve your memory. 5.What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A.To share some ways of improving memory. B.To recognize some memory problems. C.To explain some memory experiments. D.To complain that his memory is bad. C 　　Students often think they have memory problems. They worry that they can’t remember words well. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they remember words. To remember words 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 books. And like a library, it’s organized(有条理的). 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 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 imagine pictures of the word in your mind. 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 remember words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory, allowing you to find a word when you need it. 1.In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because 　　　.  A.they are too worried B.they don’t like to study C.they have memory problems D.they don’t use a proper way 2.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 never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. D.We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. 3.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory 　　　.  A.works like a well-organized library B.keeps many books like a large library C.provides any book you want D.leaves memory anywhere 4.Which is one example of thinking about the word in new ways in Paragraph 3? A.Talking with people that you know. B.Listening to some familiar stories. C.Making sentences with the word. D.Drawing pictures of the word on paper. 5.This passage mainly tells us about 　　　.  A.how memory works and ways to remember words B.how to make the meaning of words stronger C.short-term and long-term memory D.students’ problems in study 九.语法填空（5分） 　　阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内的单词提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。 　　When we become old, we may forget many things from the past. But music will probably stay 1._________ us all our life, said Scientific American magazine. 　　Sarah Sauve, an expert in the UK, did a new study on this.

However, computers don’t forget information, and humans often do. No one remembers everything. Luckily we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions. ◆Try to use new information at once. If you meet someone who says, “Hi! I’m Carlos.” Don’t just answer “Hello”. Repeat (重复) the person’s name. Say “Hello, Carlos.” ◆Break a big number into smaller parts. It’s hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109, 244 and 153, it becomes easier. ◆Always review information. If you bring what you’ve learned back to your mind, it becomes easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to read the new things you’ve learned that day. ◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. ◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. Be confident! You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory can get better if they follow the right ways.  1.How many differences between the human brain and computers can we find in the passage? A.Two. B.Three. C.Four.

Life would be easier if we could remember things effortlessly. So how can we improve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. This of course helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), but psychologists (心理学家) doubt whether it can help you to remember things for very long. The British psychologist Ec Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers (祈祷文) that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848. According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture connected to a word you want to remember in your mind. Another method is to make up a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In an experiment, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them! For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists think that the best way to remember the information is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease (疾病), you would ask yourself questions like “Do people get it from water?” or “What parts of the body does it influence?” This is said to be far more effective than time-consuming repeating. 1.Which of the following is true about repeating things according to the passage? A.It helps to remember things for long. B.It makes remembering things interesting. C.It helps short-term memory for sure. D.It makes remembering prayers effortless.　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　 2.The underlined word “chunks” in Paragraph 2 probably means “　　　”.  A.groups B.turns C.details D.lines 3.How many ways of remembering things are mentioned in the passage? A.6. B.5. C.4. D.3. 4.What can we infer from the passage? A.Creating a picture is useful in learning math. B.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly. C.Remembering long numbers is easy for people. D.Asking yourself questions helps improve your memory. 5.What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A.To share some ways of improving memory. B.To recognize some memory problems. C.To explain some memory experiments. D.To complain that his memory is bad.

So how can we improve our memory?”可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是分享一些提高记忆力的方法。故选A。 C 　　Students often think they have memory problems. They worry that they can’t remember words well. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they remember words. To remember words 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 books. And like a library, it’s organized(有条理的). 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 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 imagine pictures of the word in your mind. 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 remember words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory, allowing you to find a word when you need it. 1.In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because 　　　.  A.they are too worried B.they don’t like to study C.they have memory problems D.they don’t use a proper way 2.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 never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. D.We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. 3.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory 　　　.  A.works like a well-organized library B.keeps many books like a large library C.provides any book you want D.leaves memory anywhere 4.Which is one example of thinking about the word in new ways in Paragraph 3? A.Talking with people that you know. B.Listening to some familiar stories. C.Making sentences with the word. D.Drawing pictures of the word on paper. 5.This passage mainly tells us about 　　　.  A.how memory works and ways to remember words B.how to make the meaning of words stronger C.short-term and long-term memory D.students’ problems in study [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文,主要通过介绍记忆的工作原理告诉我们如何提高记忆力,如何高效记单词。 1.D　推理判断题。根据“In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory.
