Locked safely inside our head, it wasn’t easily harmed by germ (病菌) attacks. ②Then, 20 years ago, some researchers began to ask a question: is the brain really so separate? The answer, according to recent studies, is no—and has important effects on both science and health care. ③In science, brain scientists have found that brain problems are connected to changes elsewhere in the body. For example, changes in gut microbiota (肠道菌群) could lead to some brain problems. Also, some researchers think that certain body illness may cause Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) as well. ④Similarly, the brain can also influence the body conditions, as studies show. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of neurons (神经元) that control body temperature. It also surprises scientists that by “touching” a certain area of a mouse’s brain, they can make the mouse’s body show signs of its earlier physical illness. ⑤These findings show that brain and body are closely connected, which could help us improve health care. If a brain problem starts outside the brain, we can deal with it without directly operating on the brain, which is a much easier method than before. ⑥In the opposite direction, how we feel can also help us get better from physical illness. Studies have shown that making our brain feel good can help treat heart disease. Maybe it’s more exciting to learn that changing our brain state, like lowering stress, could similarly help treat some other body illnesses. ⑦In conclusion, for brain scientists, it’s not enough for them to just look at the brain! And for doctors who treat the body, it would be quite mistaken if they think the brain has no effect on body conditions! In fact, the brain and body are closely connected and influence each other! 1．What do we know about the relation between the brain and the body? A．The brain causes the body to become separate. B．The body and the brain don’t influence each other. C．Changes in the gut microbiota won’t harm our brain. D．Neurons in the brain may influence the body temperature. 2．Which of the following would the writer agree with? A．Brain scientists need to operate on the brain to learn more. B．Changing the brain state makes no difference to the body conditions. C．We can expect to reduce stress to fight against some physical illnesses. D．Doctors shouldn’t believe that the brain plays a role in health care. 3．What’s the purpose of writing the passage? A．To explain the relation between the brain and the body. B．To show readers that brain is the safest part of our body. C．To tell doctors that the effect of brain is more important. D．To advise brain scientists to learn from doctors. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了大脑和身体之间的关系。 1．细节理解题。根据“the development of a fever is influenced by a population of neurons (神经元) that control body temperature”可知大脑中的神经元可以影响体温。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“changing our brain state, like lowering stress, could similarly help treat some other body illnesses.”可知通过改变大脑状态（如降低压力）可以帮助治疗一些身体疾病。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据“In fact, the brain and body are closely connected and influence each other!”以及全文可知，本文主要介绍了大脑和身体之间的关系。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，前两段介绍过去科学家对大脑的看法，并引出新的研究发现大脑和身体并非完全独立；第三和第四段介绍大脑和身体之间的关系；第五和第六段介绍大脑和身体之间是关系对科学和医疗保健的重要影响；第七段进行总结。故选项A符合文章结构。故选A。 长难句解析① ①原句：（第四段第三句）It also surprises scientists that by “touching” a certain area of a mouse’s brain, they can make the mouse’s body show signs of its earlier physical illness. 译文：同样让科学家们惊讶的是，通过“触碰”老鼠大脑的某个区域，他们可以让老鼠的身体表现出其早期身体疾病的迹象。 分析：本句中It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。在主语从句中，by “touching” a certain area of a mouse’s brain是方式状语，they是主语，can make是谓语，the mouse’s body是宾语，show signs of its earlier physical illness是宾语补足语。 长难句解析② ①原句：（第五段的第二句）If a brain problem starts outside the brain, we can deal with it without directly operating on the brain, which is a much easier method than before. 译文：如果大脑问题始于大脑外部，我们可以不直接对大脑进行手术来处理它，这是一种比以前容易得多的方法。 分析： 本句包含一个if引导的条件状语从句If a brain problem starts outside the brain，其中a brain problem是从句主语，starts是谓语，outside the brain是地点状语；主句是we can deal with it without directly operating on the brain，主语是we，谓语是can deal with，宾语是it，without directly operating on the brain是方式状语；which is a much easier method than before是非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个主句内容，which在从句中作主语，is是谓语，a much easier method是表语，than before是比较状语。 译文  多年来，科学家们一直认为大脑受到了很好的保护。它安全地锁在我们的头颅内，不易受到病菌的侵袭。 20年前，一些研究人员开始提出一个问题：大脑真的如此独立吗？根据近期的研究，答案是否定的，这一结论对科学和医疗保健都有着重要的影响。 在科学领域，脑科学家发现脑部问题与身体其他部位的变化有关联。例如，肠道菌群的变化可能会导致一些脑部问题。此外，一些研究人员认为，某些身体疾病也可能引发老年痴呆症。 同样，研究表明，大脑也能影响身体状况。例如，发烧的形成会受到一群控制体温的神经元的影响。令科学家们惊讶的是，通过“触碰”小鼠大脑的某个特定区域，他们可以让小鼠的身体表现出其先前身体疾病的症状。 这些发现表明，大脑和身体紧密相连，这有助于我们改善医疗保健。如果脑部问题源于大脑外部，我们可以不直接对大脑进行手术来处理该问题，这比以往的方法要简单得多。 反之，我们的心理状态也有助于身体疾病的康复。研究表明，让大脑保持愉悦有助于治疗心脏病。更令人兴奋的是，改变我们的大脑状态，比如减轻压力，同样有助于治疗其他一些身体疾病。 总之，对于脑科学家来说，仅仅关注大脑是不够的！而对于治疗身体疾病的医生来说，如果他们认为大脑对身体状况没有影响，那就大错特错了！事实上，大脑和身体紧密相连，相互影响！ 核心短语归纳 Passage B You may use your phone to remember some perfect moments in your life. But before you do this, here’s a(n) 1 finding that photo-takers need to know: Taking photos is not the perfect memory-retention (记忆储存) tool you think it is. 2 , taking too many pictures could harm the brain’s 3 to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychological (心理学的) science professor at the University of California. So you may get the photo 4 kind of lose memory. It works in two ways. Loftus explains: We 5 let go of the duty of remembering moments when we take pictures of them, or we’re so distracted (使分心) by the process of taking a photo that we miss the moment. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it at any time 6 your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good until that piece of paper goes missing. But photo-takers don’t need to 7 . Here are some tips on how to make taking photos help not harm your memories. Take a few good pictures, then put down the phone. If your goal is to remember a special trip or event, 8 the time with your camera out is necessary. Have someone else take the photos. Ask a friend or family member to take photos for you at important events so you can 9 enjoy the activity. Focus on details. If you focus on the details of a scene as you prepare to take a photo, that process can help keep memories. 10 your photos regularly. Photos are a useful tool for memory keeping only if we spend time looking through photos, but not every one can do that. 1．A．surprised B．excited C．surprising D．exciting 2．A．In fact B．At first C．In short D．At times 3．A．advantage B．health C．ability D．activity 4．A．and B．but C．however D．so 5．A．either B．whether C．or D．neither 6．A．unless B．until C．because D．although 7．A．think over B．feel down C．take care D．try out 8．A．warning B．regretting C．reducing D．spending 9．A．fully B．angrily C．suddenly D．politely 10．A．Take away B．Check out C．Put away D．Look at 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．C 9．A 10．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个令人惊讶的发现：拍照并不是你认为的完美的记忆储存工具，可能会损害大脑储存记忆的能力。 1．句意：但在你这样做之前，拍照者需要知道一个令人惊讶的发现：拍照并不是你认为的完美的记忆储存工具。 surprised惊讶的；excited兴奋的；surprising令人惊讶的；exciting令人兴奋的。根据“You may use your phone to remember some perfect moments in your life. But before you do this, here’s a(n)…finding that photo-takers need to know: Taking photos is not the perfect memory-retention (记忆储存) tool you think it is.”可知，But表转折，其后陈述的一个发现与传统认知是不一致，所以是一个令人惊讶的发现。故选C。 2．句意：加州大学心理学教授伊丽莎白·洛夫特斯（Elizabeth Loftus）表示，事实上，拍太多照片可能会损害大脑保持记忆的能力。 In fact事实上；At first起初；In short简言之；At times有时。根据“taking too many pictures could harm the brain’s…to keep memories”和“So you may get the photo…kind of lose memory.”可知，此处强调拍太多照片事实上会损害大脑保持记忆的能力。故选A。 3．句意：加州大学心理学教授伊丽莎白·洛夫特斯（Elizabeth Loftus）表示，事实上，拍太多照片可能会损害大脑保持记忆的能力。 advantage优势；health健康；ability能力；activity活动。根据“ taking too many pictures could harm the brain’s…to keep memories”和“So you may get the photo…kind of lose memory.”可知，应该是损害大脑保持记忆的能力。故选C。 4．句意：所以你可能会得到照片，但稍微失去一些记忆。 and和；but但是；however然而；so因此。根据“So you may get the photo…kind of lose memory.”可知，此处表转折关系，使用but。故选B。 5．句意：我们要么在拍照时忘记了记住瞬间的责任，要么在拍照过程中分心而错过了这一时刻。 either要么……要么；whether是否；or或者；neither也不。根据“We…let go of the duty of remembering moments when we take pictures of them, or we’re so distracted (使分心) by the process of taking a photo that we miss the moment.”可知，either…or…“要么……要么……”。故选A。 6．句意：同样，如果你写下某人的电话号码，你就不太可能在任何时候记住它，因为你的大脑告诉你根本没有必要。 unless除非；until直到；because因为；although尽管。根据“you’re less likely to remember it at any time…your brain tells you there’s just no need. ”可知，空后表原因，使用because引导原因状语从句。故选C。 7．句意：但拍照的人不需要感到沮丧。 think over仔细考虑；feel down感到沮丧；take care当心；try out试用。根据“Here are some tips on how to make taking photos help not harm your memories. ”可知，此处是解决这个问题的方法，所以不需要沮丧。故选B。 8．句意：如果你的目标是记住一次特殊的旅行或活动，那么减少带相机的时间是必要的。 warning警告；regretting后悔；reducing减少；spending花费。根据“If your goal is to remember a special trip or event,…the time with your camera out is necessary.”可知，此处建议减少带相机的时间。故选C。 9．句意：请朋友或家人在重要活动中为您拍照，这样您就可以充分享受活动。 fully完全地，充分地；angrily生气地；suddenly突然；politely礼貌地。根据“Ask a friend or family member to take photos for you at important events so you can…enjoy the activity.”可知，让朋友或家人为你拍照，就可以充分享受活动。故选A。 10．句意：定期看你的照片。 Take away拿走；Check out结账离开；Put away收起；Look at看。根据your photos regularly. Photos are a useful tool for memory keeping only if we spend time looking through photos“”可知，此处指看照片。故选D。 长难句解析① ①原句：Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it at any time because your brain tells you there’s just no need. 译文：同样地，如果你写下某人的电话号码，你在任何时候记住它的可能性都会降低，因为你的大脑会告诉你根本没必要记住。 分析：本句是一个复合句。if you write down someone’s phone number是条件状语从句；主句是you’re less likely to remember it at any time；because your brain tells you there’s just no need是原因状语从句，其中there’s just no need是省略了引导词that的宾语从句，作tells的宾语。 译文 你可能会用手机记录生活中的一些美好瞬间。但在你这么做之前，有一个令人惊讶的发现是拍照的人需要了解的：拍照并非你所认为的完美的记忆储存工具。 事实上，拍摄过多照片可能会损害大脑储存记忆的能力，加利福尼亚大学的心理学教授伊丽莎白·洛夫特斯说道。所以你可能拍到了照片，却在某种程度上失去了记忆。 这有两方面的原因。洛夫特斯解释道：当我们给某些瞬间拍照时，我们要么会觉得自己不用再承担记住这些瞬间的责任，要么会因为拍照的过程而分心，从而错过那个瞬间。 同样地，如果你把某人的电话号码写下来，你在任何时候记住它的可能性就会降低，因为你的大脑会告诉你根本没必要去记。在那张纸丢失之前，这一切都还好。 但拍照的人不必沮丧。以下是一些关于如何让拍照有助于而非损害你的记忆的建议。拍几张好照片，然后放下手机。如果你的目标是记住一次特别的旅行或活动，减少拿着相机的时间是有必要的。 让别人来拍照。在重要活动中让朋友或家人帮你拍照，这样你就可以全身心地享受活动了。 关注细节。当你准备拍照时，如果你关注场景的细节，这个过程有助于保存记忆。 定期查看你的照片。只有当我们花时间翻看照片时，照片才是保存记忆的有用工具，但并非每个人都能做到这一点。 核心短语归纳 ①perfect adj. 完美的 ②memory-retention n. 记忆储存 ③harm v. 损害 ④brain n. 大脑 ⑤ability n. 能力 ⑥let go of 放开；放弃 ⑦distracted adj. 分心的 ⑧write down 写下 ⑨likely adj. 可能的 ⑩miss v. 错过 ⑪tip n. 建议 ⑫special adj. 特别的 ⑬event n. 事件 ⑭necessary adj. 必要的 ⑮enjoy v. 享受 ⑯focus on 专注于 ⑰detail n. 细节 ⑱scene n. 场景 ⑲regularly adv. 定期地 ⑳look through 浏览 实战演练 真题示例 Passage A （2025·浙江·中考真题）①Life is full of moments, but some are “special” and stay in our hearts forever. For example, the first time you rode a bike alone, a friend’s hug when you were sad, or in the evening talking with family. These moments aren’t always big, but they change how we feel about ourselves and the world. ②Special moments are like treasures. We don’t need to write them down—our hearts remember them. A teacher might praise a shy student’s drawing, making the child feel important. A parent could bake cookies with you on a rainy day, filling the kitchen with laughter. Even strangers can create them: a barista who knows your coffee order, or a neighbor who helps carry groceries. These small acts stay in our minds because they make us feel loved. ③Businesses also use special moments. A café might play soft music and serve warm cookies on cold days to make customers feel welcome. A bookstore could hold story time for kids every weekend, turning a visit into a happy memory. An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate their own cones (冰激凌蛋筒)—seeing a child smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers. ④In the end, special moments are everywhere. They don’t need money or planning—just a little care. A kind word, a smile, or a small surprise can make life richer. So take time to enjoy these moments—they make life worth living. 1．What does the passage say about special moments? A．They are always big and exciting. B．We can keep the special things in mind. C．We need to write them down to remember. D．They have nothing to do with how we feel. 2．What does the ice-cream shop probably do according to the passage? A．Sells the cheapest ice-cream. B．Closes early on weekends. C．Refuses to let kids enter. D．Creates ice-cream moments for guests. 3．Which is the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to use the power of the moment. B．Why people forget small moments. C．When to plan big and exciting events. D．Where to find the most expensive treasures. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文探讨了生活中“特殊时刻”的意义，这些时刻往往看似微小却能在我们心中留下深刻印记。 1．细节理解题。根据“We don’t need to write them down—our hearts remember them. ”可知，我们将那些特别的事铭记于心，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate their own cones (冰激凌蛋筒)—seeing a child smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers.”可知，冰淇淋店让顾客装饰冰淇淋筒，创造快乐记忆，故选D。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引入主题；第二段和第三段从个人和企业角度阐述特殊时刻；最后一段总结概括，故选D。 4．主旨大意题。全文围绕“特殊瞬间”展开，强调它们带给人的温暖和美好，并说明哪些场合和方式会产生这样的瞬间，核心主旨即在于如何看待并善用这种“瞬间的力量”。故选A。 长难句解析① ①原句：（第一段第3句） These moments aren’t always big, but they change how we feel about ourselves and the world. 译文：句意： 这些时刻并不总是重大的，但它们改变了我们对自己和世界的看法。 分析：本句是由but连接的并列复合句。前一个分句These moments aren’t always big是主系表结构，后一个分句中they是主语，change是谓语，how we feel about ourselves and the world是宾语从句，作change的宾语。 译文 生活中充满了无数瞬间，但有些“特别时刻”会永远留在我们心中。比如，你第一次独自骑自行车，难过时朋友给你的一个拥抱，亦或是晚上和家人促膝长谈。这些时刻不一定惊天动地，但它们会改变我们对自己和世界的看法。 特别时刻宛如珍宝。我们无需将它们记录下来，因为我们的内心会铭记。老师可能会夸赞一个害羞学生的画作，让孩子觉得自己很重要。父母可能会在雨天和你一起烤饼干，让厨房充满欢声笑语。甚至陌生人也能创造这样的时刻：比如记得你常点咖啡的咖啡师，或是帮你提杂货的邻居。这些小小的举动之所以会留在我们的记忆中，是因为它们让我们感受到了被爱。 商家也会营造特别时刻。寒冷的日子里，咖啡馆可能会播放轻柔的音乐，提供热乎乎的饼干，让顾客有宾至如归的感觉。书店可能会在每个周末为孩子们举办故事时间，让每一次光顾都成为美好的回忆。冰淇淋店会让顾客自己装饰冰淇淋蛋筒——看到孩子在添加装饰时露出的笑容，这是每个人都会铭记的时刻。 归根结底，特别时刻无处不在。它们无需花费金钱，也无需精心策划——只需要一点点关怀。一句友善的话语、一个微笑，或是一个小小的惊喜，都能让生活更加丰富多彩。所以，花些时间去享受这些时刻吧——它们让生活变得有意义。 Passage B （2025·四川乐山·中考真题）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 We all need English in our lives: to search on the Internet, to get a good job or to travel around the world.

A new brain study at Norwegian University of Science and Technology shows that choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory. “When you write your shopping list or class notes by hand, you simply remember what you wrote better later,” said Audrey van der Meer, who did the study. 12 young grown-ups and 12 children took part in the study. Special machines were used to follow and record brain wave activities. Each person wore a special cap with over 250 electrodes (极) on the head, and was asked to write by hand and use a keyboard. The sensors in the electrodes picked up the activities that took place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes for each person. The results showed that the brain in both young grown-ups and children was much more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses become active by holding a pen and putting it down on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These build connection between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning. Van der Meer believes that the results let us know the importance of children being asked to draw and write at an early age, “Learning to write by hand is a slower course, but it’s important for children to experience the tiring step of learning to write by hand,” she said. The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are helpful in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand needs control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s important to put the brain in a learning condition as often as possible,” Van der Meer added, For example, you might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should take notes by hand during a class. 1．Which is the correct order of the study? ①Record and study the results.                         ②Put a special cap on each person. ③Find 12 young grown-ups and 12 children. ④Ask the people to write by hand and use a keyboard. A．②④①③ B．③②④① C．③④②① D．②①④③ 2．What is the result of the study? A．The brain is more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard. B．You can remember what you write better if you use a keyboard. C．Fewer people choose handwriting and more people use a keyboard. D．It is easier to put your brain in a learning condition when you use a keyboard. 3．What does the underlined word “These” refer to? A．The letters you are learning to write, B．The skills you use to write an article. C．The sense experiences when you write by hand. D．The different parts of the brain relative to writing. 4．From the passage, we can know that ________. A．Students who only write by hand from an early age will get better grades in the future. B．Students should completely use handwriting instead of using keyboards to finish their tasks. C．Taking regular handwriting exercises will improve students’ learning abilities in the long run. D．The study findings suggest that the earlier students start using keyboards, the more developed their fine motor skills will be. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤⑥ B．①②/③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③/④⑤⑥ D．①②/③④/⑤⑥ 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了选择手写而不是使用键盘可以更好地学习和记忆。 1．细节理解题。研究过程是按照事情发展顺序写的。根据第三段中“12 young grown-ups and 12 children took part in the study.”和“Each person wore a special cap with over 250 electrodes on the head, and was asked to write by hand and use a keyboard.”以及第四段的“The results showed that the brain in both young grown-ups and children was much more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard.”可知，研究过程如下：先找参加研究的人，之后每人戴上特殊的帽子，然后要求学生用键盘和手写，最后记录和研究结果。顺序为③②④①。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The results showed that the brain in both young grown-ups and children was much more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard.”可知，研究结果为用手写字时的大脑比用键盘写字时更活跃。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“plenty of senses become active by holding a pen and putting it down on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. ”可知，用手写字时的感觉体验在大脑的不同部分之间建立联系，打开大脑学习的大门。划线单词they指代前面的用手写字时的感觉体验。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Learning to write by hand is a slower course, but it’s important for children to experience the tiring step of learning to write by hand”可知，从长远来看，定期进行书写练习将提高学生的学习能力。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一、二段主要介绍了选择手写而不是使用键盘可以更好地学习和记忆的；第三、四段介绍了研究此观点的实验；第五、六段介绍了用手书写的重要性及其原因。故选D。 Passage B （24-25八年级上·广东广州·期末）A new study shows that learning math before bedtime helps people remember it better. Researchers from the universities of Leicester and Loughborough found that sleep plays a key role in keeping new information in mind. While many believe that studying in the morning is better because the mind is fresh, this research suggests otherwise. The study invited 184 people in the UK, aged 18 to 40. They had to remember difficult math problems, such as 25×8, without calculating the answers. The goal was to see how quickly they could remember the answers. In the first part of the experiment, people studied the problems between 8:00 pm and 10:45 pm and had a test the next morning. A week later, they studied in the morning, between 7:30 am and 10:00 am, and were tested in the evening. In both cases, testing took place 10 hours after learning. The results showed that those who learned math before bedtime did better, getting the points of about 20.7. But morning learners only got an average of 18.5. This shows that the brain makes memory appear again during sleep, and it is easier for people to remember. While previous (之前的) research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest. It tells the importance of studying challenging material, like math, before going to bed. 1．According to the passage, which of the following can we learn about? A．The longer you sleep, the better memory of math you can get. B．People should always study math before going to bed instead. C．Adults aged 18 to 40 are better at learning difficult math than other age groups. D．Sleep is important in helping the brain remember not only words but also numbers. 2．Which picture best shows the structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． 3．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the last paragraph? A．This study. B．Sleep. C．Word learning. D．Previous research. 4．Where can we read this article? A．In a story book. B．In a travel guide. C．In a science magazine. D．In an encyclopedia. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现——人们在晚上睡觉前学习算数比在早晨学习更有效率。 1．细节理解题。根据“While previous research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest.”可知，睡眠不仅能帮助大脑记住单词，还能记住数字。故选D。 2．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总体介绍一项新的研究结果；第二、三、四段介绍了研究的过程和结果；第五段得出最终结论。文章结构为①/②③④/⑤。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“While previous research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest.”可知，这项研究表明人们在睡觉前学习数学等具有挑战性的材料的重要性。划线单词指代的是前面提到的this study。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“A new study shows that learning math before bedtime helps people remember it better.”可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究，可能会在科学杂志上见到。故选C。 Passage C （24-25八年级上·辽宁沈阳·期末）①Do you want to have a better memory? When we study, we often hope what we learn can stay in our minds. Here are some useful ways to improve our memory. ②According to experts, we can learn things better if we wait for a while before studying them again. After some time of forgetting, trying to recall what we learned will make it easier to remember in the future. ③Studies show that taking a short break and doing nothing after studying can also help us remember things better. We don’t know exactly why this happens. Maybe it has something to do with the relationship between long-term and short-term memory. ④Another study tip is to change between different topics as you study. This can help us connect different ideas. Jonathan Hancock, a former world memory champion, says that imagining pieces of information in different places or connecting them with memorable pictures can make them easier to remember. This can help you make connections between different ideas. ⑤Many other experts also suggest that we should get enough rest and exercise. For example, getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night can help our brains consolidate (巩固) memories. Things like jogging, swimming, and cycling can make more blood (血液) flow to our brains. More blood means more oxygen (氧气) and nutrients (营养) for our brain cells. This can make our brains work better and help us remember things better. ⑥Improving our memory is not easy, but we can do something about it. 1．According to experts, what can help us learn things better? A．Studying continuously without breaks. B．Waiting for a while before studying again. C．Imagining information in memorable pictures only. D．Doing jogging, swimming, and cycling every day. 2．How does the author explain his ideas in paragraph 5? A．By giving examples. B．By comparing facts. C．By listing numbers. D．By telling a story. 3．How is the text organized? (①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2,…) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the main purpose (目的) of the text? A．To explain different kinds of memories. B．To provide advice on how to improve memory. C．To discuss the importance of sleep and exercise. D．To tell us the difficulties in improving memories. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了提高记忆力的方法和技巧。通过引用记忆专家的建议，文章介绍了复习、休息、转换学习主题、图像记忆等多种提高记忆力的策略，并强调了避免压力、充足休息和锻炼的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据“According to experts, we can learn things better if we wait for a while before studying them again.”可知，专家介绍，如果我们等待一段时间再次学习它们，我们可以更好地学习事物。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“For example”以及下文可知，作者举例解释自己的观点，故选A。 3．篇章结构题。文中①作为引言，②③④⑤为并列的不同建议，⑥作出结论，全文是总分总的结构。因此选项C符合文章结构。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文围绕提升记忆力提供了多种建议，故选B。 Passage D The small river behind my grandmother’s house was my childhood paradise. Every day after school, my friends and I would play by its clear water. We loved watching small fish swim near the shore and listening to birds sing in the trees. The river smelled like wet earth and green grass—a smell I can still remember when I close my eyes. One special memory shines brightest. On my tenth birthday, Grandpa taught me to fish using just a bamboo pole and some bread. The sun was warm on our backs as we waited quietly. When I caught my first fish, Grandpa smiled and said, “Good job!” That night, we let the fish go back into the water. Now my hometown has changed greatly. The small and old road is gone. There are completely wide and new roads. Standing by the roads are many tall buildings. It is quite different from the hometown in the past. I feel a little upset, but when I recall (回忆起) my childhood days, I still feel happy and warm. I always think of what my grandpa taught me: Life keeps changing like this river, but happy memories stay with us forever. When I feel sad or worried, I think of those sunny afternoons by the water. The river reminds me to be thankful for the past but keep looking forward to the future. 1．What does “paradise” mean in the first paragraph? A．A very happy place B．A dangerous place C．A school building D．A kind of fish 2．What did the writer and Grandpa do with the fish they caught?

Locked safely inside our head, it wasn’t easily harmed by germ (病菌) attacks. ②Then, 20 years ago, some researchers began to ask a question: is the brain really so separate? The answer, according to recent studies, is no—and has important effects on both science and health care. ③In science, brain scientists have found that brain problems are connected to changes elsewhere in the body. For example, changes in gut microbiota (肠道菌群) could lead to some brain problems. Also, some researchers think that certain body illness may cause Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) as well. ④Similarly, the brain can also influence the body conditions, as studies show. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of neurons (神经元) that control body temperature. It also surprises scientists that by “touching” a certain area of a mouse’s brain, they can make the mouse’s body show signs of its earlier physical illness. ⑤These findings show that brain and body are closely connected, which could help us improve health care. If a brain problem starts outside the brain, we can deal with it without directly operating on the brain, which is a much easier method than before. ⑥In the opposite direction, how we feel can also help us get better from physical illness. Studies have shown that making our brain feel good can help treat heart disease. Maybe it’s more exciting to learn that changing our brain state, like lowering stress, could similarly help treat some other body illnesses. ⑦In conclusion, for brain scientists, it’s not enough for them to just look at the brain! And for doctors who treat the body, it would be quite mistaken if they think the brain has no effect on body conditions! In fact, the brain and body are closely connected and influence each other! 1．What do we know about the relation between the brain and the body? A．The brain causes the body to become separate. B．The body and the brain don’t influence each other. C．Changes in the gut microbiota won’t harm our brain. D．Neurons in the brain may influence the body temperature. 2．Which of the following would the writer agree with? A．Brain scientists need to operate on the brain to learn more. B．Changing the brain state makes no difference to the body conditions. C．We can expect to reduce stress to fight against some physical illnesses. D．Doctors shouldn’t believe that the brain plays a role in health care. 3．What’s the purpose of writing the passage? A．To explain the relation between the brain and the body. B．To show readers that brain is the safest part of our body. C．To tell doctors that the effect of brain is more important. D．To advise brain scientists to learn from doctors. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 长难句解析① ①原句：（第四段第三句）It also surprises scientists that by “touching” a certain area of a mouse’s brain, they can make the mouse’s body show signs of its earlier physical illness. 译文：同样让科学家们惊讶的是，通过“触碰”老鼠大脑的某个区域，他们可以让老鼠的身体表现出其早期身体疾病的迹象。 分析：本句中It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。在主语从句中，by “touching” a certain area of a mouse’s brain是方式状语，they是主语，can make是谓语，the mouse’s body是宾语，show signs of its earlier physical illness是宾语补足语。 长难句解析② ①原句：（第五段的第二句）If a brain problem starts outside the brain, we can deal with it without directly operating on the brain, which is a much easier method than before. 译文：如果大脑问题始于大脑外部，我们可以不直接对大脑进行手术来处理它，这是一种比以前容易得多的方法。 分析： 本句包含一个if引导的条件状语从句If a brain problem starts outside the brain，其中a brain problem是从句主语，starts是谓语，outside the brain是地点状语；主句是we can deal with it without directly operating on the brain，主语是we，谓语是can deal with，宾语是it，without directly operating on the brain是方式状语；which is a much easier method than before是非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个主句内容，which在从句中作主语，is是谓语，a much easier method是表语，than before是比较状语。 译文  多年来，科学家们一直认为大脑受到了很好的保护。它安全地锁在我们的头颅内，不易受到病菌的侵袭。 20年前，一些研究人员开始提出一个问题：大脑真的如此独立吗？根据近期的研究，答案是否定的，这一结论对科学和医疗保健都有着重要的影响。 在科学领域，脑科学家发现脑部问题与身体其他部位的变化有关联。例如，肠道菌群的变化可能会导致一些脑部问题。此外，一些研究人员认为，某些身体疾病也可能引发老年痴呆症。 同样，研究表明，大脑也能影响身体状况。例如，发烧的形成会受到一群控制体温的神经元的影响。令科学家们惊讶的是，通过“触碰”小鼠大脑的某个特定区域，他们可以让小鼠的身体表现出其先前身体疾病的症状。 这些发现表明，大脑和身体紧密相连，这有助于我们改善医疗保健。如果脑部问题源于大脑外部，我们可以不直接对大脑进行手术来处理该问题，这比以往的方法要简单得多。 反之，我们的心理状态也有助于身体疾病的康复。研究表明，让大脑保持愉悦有助于治疗心脏病。更令人兴奋的是，改变我们的大脑状态，比如减轻压力，同样有助于治疗其他一些身体疾病。 总之，对于脑科学家来说，仅仅关注大脑是不够的！而对于治疗身体疾病的医生来说，如果他们认为大脑对身体状况没有影响，那就大错特错了！事实上，大脑和身体紧密相连，相互影响！ 核心短语归纳 Passage B You may use your phone to remember some perfect moments in your life. But before you do this, here’s a(n) 1 finding that photo-takers need to know: Taking photos is not the perfect memory-retention (记忆储存) tool you think it is. 2 , taking too many pictures could harm the brain’s 3 to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychological (心理学的) science professor at the University of California. So you may get the photo 4 kind of lose memory. It works in two ways. Loftus explains: We 5 let go of the duty of remembering moments when we take pictures of them, or we’re so distracted (使分心) by the process of taking a photo that we miss the moment. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it at any time 6 your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good until that piece of paper goes missing. But photo-takers don’t need to 7 . Here are some tips on how to make taking photos help not harm your memories. Take a few good pictures, then put down the phone. If your goal is to remember a special trip or event, 8 the time with your camera out is necessary. Have someone else take the photos. Ask a friend or family member to take photos for you at important events so you can 9 enjoy the activity. Focus on details. If you focus on the details of a scene as you prepare to take a photo, that process can help keep memories. 10 your photos regularly. Photos are a useful tool for memory keeping only if we spend time looking through photos, but not every one can do that. 1．A．surprised B．excited C．surprising D．exciting 2．A．In fact B．At first C．In short D．At times 3．A．advantage B．health C．ability D．activity 4．A．and B．but C．however D．so 5．A．either B．whether C．or D．neither 6．A．unless B．until C．because D．although 7．A．think over B．feel down C．take care D．try out 8．A．warning B．regretting C．reducing D．spending 9．A．fully B．angrily C．suddenly D．politely 10．A．Take away B．Check out C．Put away D．Look at 长难句解析① ①原句：Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it at any time because your brain tells you there’s just no need. 译文：同样地，如果你写下某人的电话号码，你在任何时候记住它的可能性都会降低，因为你的大脑会告诉你根本没必要记住。 分析：本句是一个复合句。if you write down someone’s phone number是条件状语从句；主句是you’re less likely to remember it at any time；because your brain tells you there’s just no need是原因状语从句，其中there’s just no need是省略了引导词that的宾语从句，作tells的宾语。 译文 你可能会用手机记录生活中的一些美好瞬间。但在你这么做之前，有一个令人惊讶的发现是拍照的人需要了解的：拍照并非你所认为的完美的记忆储存工具。 事实上，拍摄过多照片可能会损害大脑储存记忆的能力，加利福尼亚大学的心理学教授伊丽莎白·洛夫特斯说道。所以你可能拍到了照片，却在某种程度上失去了记忆。 这有两方面的原因。洛夫特斯解释道：当我们给某些瞬间拍照时，我们要么会觉得自己不用再承担记住这些瞬间的责任，要么会因为拍照的过程而分心，从而错过那个瞬间。 同样地，如果你把某人的电话号码写下来，你在任何时候记住它的可能性就会降低，因为你的大脑会告诉你根本没必要去记。在那张纸丢失之前，这一切都还好。 但拍照的人不必沮丧。以下是一些关于如何让拍照有助于而非损害你的记忆的建议。拍几张好照片，然后放下手机。如果你的目标是记住一次特别的旅行或活动，减少拿着相机的时间是有必要的。 让别人来拍照。在重要活动中让朋友或家人帮你拍照，这样你就可以全身心地享受活动了。 关注细节。当你准备拍照时，如果你关注场景的细节，这个过程有助于保存记忆。 定期查看你的照片。只有当我们花时间翻看照片时，照片才是保存记忆的有用工具，但并非每个人都能做到这一点。 核心短语归纳 ①perfect adj. 完美的 ②memory-retention n. 记忆储存 ③harm v. 损害 ④brain n. 大脑 ⑤ability n. 能力 ⑥let go of 放开；放弃 ⑦distracted adj. 分心的 ⑧write down 写下 ⑨likely adj. 可能的 ⑩miss v. 错过 ⑪tip n. 建议 ⑫special adj. 特别的 ⑬event n. 事件 ⑭necessary adj. 必要的 ⑮enjoy v. 享受 ⑯focus on 专注于 ⑰detail n. 细节 ⑱scene n. 场景 ⑲regularly adv. 定期地 ⑳look through 浏览 实战演练 真题示例 Passage A （2025·浙江·中考真题）①Life is full of moments, but some are “special” and stay in our hearts forever. For example, the first time you rode a bike alone, a friend’s hug when you were sad, or in the evening talking with family. These moments aren’t always big, but they change how we feel about ourselves and the world. ②Special moments are like treasures. We don’t need to write them down—our hearts remember them. A teacher might praise a shy student’s drawing, making the child feel important. A parent could bake cookies with you on a rainy day, filling the kitchen with laughter. Even strangers can create them: a barista who knows your coffee order, or a neighbor who helps carry groceries. These small acts stay in our minds because they make us feel loved. ③Businesses also use special moments. A café might play soft music and serve warm cookies on cold days to make customers feel welcome. A bookstore could hold story time for kids every weekend, turning a visit into a happy memory. An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate their own cones (冰激凌蛋筒)—seeing a child smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers. ④In the end, special moments are everywhere. They don’t need money or planning—just a little care. A kind word, a smile, or a small surprise can make life richer. So take time to enjoy these moments—they make life worth living. 1．What does the passage say about special moments? A．They are always big and exciting. B．We can keep the special things in mind. C．We need to write them down to remember. D．They have nothing to do with how we feel. 2．What does the ice-cream shop probably do according to the passage? A．Sells the cheapest ice-cream. B．Closes early on weekends. C．Refuses to let kids enter. D．Creates ice-cream moments for guests. 3．Which is the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to use the power of the moment. B．Why people forget small moments. C．When to plan big and exciting events. D．Where to find the most expensive treasures. 长难句解析① ①原句：（第一段第3句） These moments aren’t always big, but they change how we feel about ourselves and the world. 译文：句意： 这些时刻并不总是重大的，但它们改变了我们对自己和世界的看法。 分析：本句是由but连接的并列复合句。前一个分句These moments aren’t always big是主系表结构，后一个分句中they是主语，change是谓语，how we feel about ourselves and the world是宾语从句，作change的宾语。 译文 生活中充满了无数瞬间，但有些“特别时刻”会永远留在我们心中。比如，你第一次独自骑自行车，难过时朋友给你的一个拥抱，亦或是晚上和家人促膝长谈。这些时刻不一定惊天动地，但它们会改变我们对自己和世界的看法。 特别时刻宛如珍宝。我们无需将它们记录下来，因为我们的内心会铭记。老师可能会夸赞一个害羞学生的画作，让孩子觉得自己很重要。父母可能会在雨天和你一起烤饼干，让厨房充满欢声笑语。甚至陌生人也能创造这样的时刻：比如记得你常点咖啡的咖啡师，或是帮你提杂货的邻居。这些小小的举动之所以会留在我们的记忆中，是因为它们让我们感受到了被爱。 商家也会营造特别时刻。寒冷的日子里，咖啡馆可能会播放轻柔的音乐，提供热乎乎的饼干，让顾客有宾至如归的感觉。书店可能会在每个周末为孩子们举办故事时间，让每一次光顾都成为美好的回忆。冰淇淋店会让顾客自己装饰冰淇淋蛋筒——看到孩子在添加装饰时露出的笑容，这是每个人都会铭记的时刻。 归根结底，特别时刻无处不在。它们无需花费金钱，也无需精心策划——只需要一点点关怀。一句友善的话语、一个微笑，或是一个小小的惊喜，都能让生活更加丰富多彩。所以，花些时间去享受这些时刻吧——它们让生活变得有意义。 Passage B （2025·四川乐山·中考真题）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 We all need English in our lives: to search on the Internet, to get a good job or to travel around the world. How do you learn English? 1 Here are some tips for you. ★ 2 When you meet new words, make funny example sentences with the words or draw little pictures next to them. It’s a good way to help you remember them. ★Put yourself in an English-speaking environment. 3 English is everywhere. It’s in online videos, news channels and on the radio. Keep your ears open and listen to real English. ★Be a parrot (鹦鹉). In a conversation, listen closely to how others pronounce certain words and do your best to copy them. You can do it by watching films at home. 4 If you already know the story of a movie, you’ll find its language much easier to understand. ★Speak a little English every day. The best and fastest way to learn any language is just to speak it. It doesn’t matter if you only know five English words. Don’t wait until you feel more comfortable to speak in English. 5 You’ll be surprised at how quickly it improves. At last, one thing you should remember: you must practise every day. You know, practice makes perfect. A．So start speaking English today. B．Find fun ways to learn new words. C．Do you want to learn it in a better and faster way? D．It’s better to choose the movies that you’ve watched.

A new brain study at Norwegian University of Science and Technology shows that choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory. “When you write your shopping list or class notes by hand, you simply remember what you wrote better later,” said Audrey van der Meer, who did the study. 12 young grown-ups and 12 children took part in the study. Special machines were used to follow and record brain wave activities. Each person wore a special cap with over 250 electrodes (极) on the head, and was asked to write by hand and use a keyboard. The sensors in the electrodes picked up the activities that took place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes for each person. The results showed that the brain in both young grown-ups and children was much more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses become active by holding a pen and putting it down on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These build connection between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning. Van der Meer believes that the results let us know the importance of children being asked to draw and write at an early age, “Learning to write by hand is a slower course, but it’s important for children to experience the tiring step of learning to write by hand,” she said. The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are helpful in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand needs control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s important to put the brain in a learning condition as often as possible,” Van der Meer added, For example, you might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should take notes by hand during a class. 1．Which is the correct order of the study? ①Record and study the results.                         ②Put a special cap on each person. ③Find 12 young grown-ups and 12 children. ④Ask the people to write by hand and use a keyboard. A．②④①③ B．③②④① C．③④②① D．②①④③ 2．What is the result of the study? A．The brain is more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard. B．You can remember what you write better if you use a keyboard. C．Fewer people choose handwriting and more people use a keyboard. D．It is easier to put your brain in a learning condition when you use a keyboard. 3．What does the underlined word “These” refer to? A．The letters you are learning to write, B．The skills you use to write an article. C．The sense experiences when you write by hand. D．The different parts of the brain relative to writing. 4．From the passage, we can know that ________. A．Students who only write by hand from an early age will get better grades in the future. B．Students should completely use handwriting instead of using keyboards to finish their tasks. C．Taking regular handwriting exercises will improve students’ learning abilities in the long run. D．The study findings suggest that the earlier students start using keyboards, the more developed their fine motor skills will be. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤⑥ B．①②/③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③/④⑤⑥ D．①②/③④/⑤⑥ Passage B （24-25八年级上·广东广州·期末）A new study shows that learning math before bedtime helps people remember it better. Researchers from the universities of Leicester and Loughborough found that sleep plays a key role in keeping new information in mind. While many believe that studying in the morning is better because the mind is fresh, this research suggests otherwise. The study invited 184 people in the UK, aged 18 to 40. They had to remember difficult math problems, such as 25×8, without calculating the answers. The goal was to see how quickly they could remember the answers. In the first part of the experiment, people studied the problems between 8:00 pm and 10:45 pm and had a test the next morning. A week later, they studied in the morning, between 7:30 am and 10:00 am, and were tested in the evening. In both cases, testing took place 10 hours after learning. The results showed that those who learned math before bedtime did better, getting the points of about 20.7. But morning learners only got an average of 18.5. This shows that the brain makes memory appear again during sleep, and it is easier for people to remember. While previous (之前的) research worked on how sleep improves word learning, this study shows that people can also remember numbers better after a good night’s rest. It tells the importance of studying challenging material, like math, before going to bed. 1．According to the passage, which of the following can we learn about? A．The longer you sleep, the better memory of math you can get. B．People should always study math before going to bed instead. C．Adults aged 18 to 40 are better at learning difficult math than other age groups. D．Sleep is important in helping the brain remember not only words but also numbers. 2．Which picture best shows the structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． 3．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the last paragraph? A．This study. B．Sleep. C．Word learning. D．Previous research. 4．Where can we read this article? A．In a story book. B．In a travel guide. C．In a science magazine. D．In an encyclopedia. Passage C （24-25八年级上·辽宁沈阳·期末）①Do you want to have a better memory? When we study, we often hope what we learn can stay in our minds. Here are some useful ways to improve our memory. ②According to experts, we can learn things better if we wait for a while before studying them again. After some time of forgetting, trying to recall what we learned will make it easier to remember in the future. ③Studies show that taking a short break and doing nothing after studying can also help us remember things better. We don’t know exactly why this happens. Maybe it has something to do with the relationship between long-term and short-term memory. ④Another study tip is to change between different topics as you study. This can help us connect different ideas. Jonathan Hancock, a former world memory champion, says that imagining pieces of information in different places or connecting them with memorable pictures can make them easier to remember. This can help you make connections between different ideas. ⑤Many other experts also suggest that we should get enough rest and exercise. For example, getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night can help our brains consolidate (巩固) memories. Things like jogging, swimming, and cycling can make more blood (血液) flow to our brains. More blood means more oxygen (氧气) and nutrients (营养) for our brain cells. This can make our brains work better and help us remember things better. ⑥Improving our memory is not easy, but we can do something about it. 1．According to experts, what can help us learn things better? A．Studying continuously without breaks. B．Waiting for a while before studying again. C．Imagining information in memorable pictures only. D．Doing jogging, swimming, and cycling every day. 2．How does the author explain his ideas in paragraph 5? A．By giving examples. B．By comparing facts. C．By listing numbers. D．By telling a story. 3．How is the text organized? (①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2,…) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the main purpose (目的) of the text? A．To explain different kinds of memories. B．To provide advice on how to improve memory. C．To discuss the importance of sleep and exercise. D．To tell us the difficulties in improving memories. Passage D The small river behind my grandmother’s house was my childhood paradise. Every day after school, my friends and I would play by its clear water. We loved watching small fish swim near the shore and listening to birds sing in the trees. The river smelled like wet earth and green grass—a smell I can still remember when I close my eyes. One special memory shines brightest. On my tenth birthday, Grandpa taught me to fish using just a bamboo pole and some bread. The sun was warm on our backs as we waited quietly. When I caught my first fish, Grandpa smiled and said, “Good job!” That night, we let the fish go back into the water. Now my hometown has changed greatly. The small and old road is gone. There are completely wide and new roads. Standing by the roads are many tall buildings. It is quite different from the hometown in the past. I feel a little upset, but when I recall (回忆起) my childhood days, I still feel happy and warm. I always think of what my grandpa taught me: Life keeps changing like this river, but happy memories stay with us forever. When I feel sad or worried, I think of those sunny afternoons by the water. The river reminds me to be thankful for the past but keep looking forward to the future. 1．What does “paradise” mean in the first paragraph?
