My memory started to become shockingly complete in 1974, when I was eight years old. From 1980 on, it has been near perfect. Give me a date from that year forward, and I can immediately tell you what day of the week it was, what I did on that day, and what happened on that day. I can recall memories at will. But my remembering, in fact, is not under my control. My memories automatically (自动地) flash forward and backward in my head through the years of my life. What does it feel like? Well, just imagine this: Someone started to make videos of you when you were a child, and has been continuously following you around all day, every day. This person has placed all of these videos onto a single DVD, and you are being forced to watch it over and over again. There you are as a ten-year-old in your living room watching your favorite TV program. Then, suddenly, you’re on the beach during a family vacation when you were twelve. I never know what I might remember next. As I grew up, a great many new memories were being stored in my brain, with more and more of them endlessly flashing through my mind. I became a prisoner to my own memory. My mother would tell me not to care so much about the past. I’d try to explain that I didn’t really care about the past. The memories just flooded my mind. But nobody could understand me. My greatest hope now is that scientists will discover something about my brain in the near future. I hope their findings will help them learn more about the human mind. 29. The writer’s special ability became almost perfect when she was ________ years old. A. 8 B. 10 C. 12 D. 14 30.

While traditional rote memorization (死记硬背) plays a role, storytelling memory methods are increasingly recognized. Storytelling is not just an art, but a science deeply connected to our brain’s functioning (运行). It has a significant impact (重大影响) on memory, deeply rooted in our history. Our ancestors (祖先) used stories to pass on wisdom, culture, and survival skills, which shaped our brains to prefer storytelling forms. When we tell a story, many brain parts are activated, especially those related to emotions, senses, and social interactions. Stories full of emotion help give off dopamine (多巴胺), which helps remember stories better. Moreover, the structured stories, with a beginning, middle, and an end, mirror how our brains organize information, making it easier to remember complex (复杂) data. Also, stories that contain relatable elements are more memorable. To create effective stories for better memory, several skills can be used. Picture the information as a vivid story, imagine characters, settings, and actions to turn it into a mental movie that is easier to recall. Adding emotional depth and personal meaning to the story can greatly improve people’s memory. And try to link them to familiar experiences. Dividing information into smaller parts can help in organization and recall. Creating a story timeline which provides a clear order of events can also raise memory performance. When describing clearly about how things look, sound, smell, taste, and feel in the story, it strengthens (加强) memory connections. If you relate the story’s content to personal experiences, it creates a stronger memory. Finally, regular repeating and reviewing of these stories can help remember the information better. Storytelling can be used in various areas. When studying for exams, turning study material into stories makes complex subjects more understandable and memorable. In language learning, using new vocabularies in storytelling makes the process more interesting. For remembering names and faces, one could associate them with stories. When mastering new skills, narrating (叙述) the learning steps as a journey may simplify (简化) the process. In conclusion, storytelling is a powerful tool for raising memory apart from traditional memorization methods. Whether for learning new subjects, professional development, or personal growth, storytelling. offers a path to a stronger memory and a more enriched learning experience. 33. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Rote memorization helps remember complex data easily. B. Many brain parts are activated when telling a story. C. Our brains prefer rote memorization when learning new words. D. Storytelling is a new learning method for people to practice. 34. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________. A. how to create a story timeline when telling a story B. why people need to provide a clear order of events C. how to use storytelling to improve memory performance D. why describing personal experiences is important when telling stories 35. What does the word “associate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Communicate. B. Compare. C. Agree. D. Connect. 36. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain how storytelling improves our brain function. B. To discuss why we should link experiences to storytelling. C. To encourage people to use the storytelling methods for better memory. D. To tell the differences between rote memorization and storytelling methods. 【答案】33. B 34. C 35. D 36.

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. 37. 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 38. 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. 39. 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. 40. 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】37. B 38. A 39. C 40. D 【知识点】科普知识、说明文 【解析】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。 37. 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。 38. 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。 39. 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。 40. 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。 第二节、阅读填空（5分） Ancient poems, English words, and history lessons... you have a lot to learn at school.

Forget those things and try to improve your memory. Here is some advice. Exercise Your Brain ·Learning a new language is always helpful. You can also learn to play a musical instrument and try some crossword puzzles(填字游戏). Another way to exercise is the more times you see, hear and think about it, the more surely you’ll remember it. Picture Memory Method ·Look at a photo you have never seen before for a few seconds; then put it away and write down as many things as you remember about it as possible. When you try to remember something, think hard about it and try to paint pictures about it in your mind. Improve Your Lifestyle(生活方式) ·Do exercise every day. Even just walking for 30 minutes a day is a good way to exercise your brain. Eat well and eat right. Some studies show that drinking at least 2 glasses of purple grape juice a day can improve your memory. Keep Things in Organization(条理) ·You can keep things that you often need in your notebook or enter them into your computer or mobile phone, such as your friends’ phone numbers or the time a train leaves. 26 To keep your brain active you can _______.

A. there are many ways to improve your memory B. you can never improve your memory because it was born with your life C. crossword puzzles are not good for improving memory D. you can remember all the things if you don’t think about anything else B I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain. My memory started to become shockingly complete in 1974, when I was eight years old. From 1980 on, it has been near perfect. Give me a date from that year forward, and I can immediately tell you what day of the week it was, what I did on that day, and what happened on that day. I can recall memories at will. But my remembering, in fact, is not under my control. My memories automatically (自动地) flash forward and backward in my head through the years of my life. What does it feel like? Well, just imagine this: Someone started to make videos of you when you were a child, and has been continuously following you around all day, every day. This person has placed all of these videos onto a single DVD, and you are being forced to watch it over and over again. There you are as a ten-year-old in your living room watching your favorite TV program. Then, suddenly, you’re on the beach during a family vacation when you were twelve. I never know what I might remember next. As I grew up, a great many new memories were being stored in my brain, with more and more of them endlessly flashing through my mind. I became a prisoner to my own memory. My mother would tell me not to care so much about the past. I’d try to explain that I didn’t really care about the past. The memories just flooded my mind. But nobody could understand me. My greatest hope now is that scientists will discover something about my brain in the near future. I hope their findings will help them learn more about the human mind. 29. The writer’s special ability became almost perfect when she was ________ years old. A. 8 B. 10 C. 12 D. 14 30. We can learn from the text that the writer ________. A. cannot tell one person from another B. cannot remember anything about the past. C. can say what will happen in the near future D. can recall what exactly happened on each past day 31. How did the writer feel about her special ability? A. Proud. B. Warm. C. Painful. D. Shameful. 32. The writer now hopes scientists will ________. A. discover her amazing ability B. help her become a normal person C. explain the mystery and control her memories D. research her brain to learn more about the human mind C Memory is important to learning, and it is a shared goal for all students to improve it. While traditional rote memorization (死记硬背) plays a role, storytelling memory methods are increasingly recognized. Storytelling is not just an art, but a science deeply connected to our brain’s functioning (运行). It has a significant impact (重大影响) on memory, deeply rooted in our history. Our ancestors (祖先) used stories to pass on wisdom, culture, and survival skills, which shaped our brains to prefer storytelling forms. When we tell a story, many brain parts are activated, especially those related to emotions, senses, and social interactions. Stories full of emotion help give off dopamine (多巴胺), which helps remember stories better. Moreover, the structured stories, with a beginning, middle, and an end, mirror how our brains organize information, making it easier to remember complex (复杂) data. Also, stories that contain relatable elements are more memorable. To create effective stories for better memory, several skills can be used. Picture the information as a vivid story, imagine characters, settings, and actions to turn it into a mental movie that is easier to recall. Adding emotional depth and personal meaning to the story can greatly improve people’s memory. And try to link them to familiar experiences. Dividing information into smaller parts can help in organization and recall. Creating a story timeline which provides a clear order of events can also raise memory performance. When describing clearly about how things look, sound, smell, taste, and feel in the story, it strengthens (加强) memory connections. If you relate the story’s content to personal experiences, it creates a stronger memory. Finally, regular repeating and reviewing of these stories can help remember the information better. Storytelling can be used in various areas. When studying for exams, turning study material into stories makes complex subjects more understandable and memorable. In language learning, using new vocabularies in storytelling makes the process more interesting. For remembering names and faces, one could associate them with stories. When mastering new skills, narrating (叙述) the learning steps as a journey may simplify (简化) the process. In conclusion, storytelling is a powerful tool for raising memory apart from traditional memorization methods. Whether for learning new subjects, professional development, or personal growth, storytelling. offers a path to a stronger memory and a more enriched learning experience. 33. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Rote memorization helps remember complex data easily. B. Many brain parts are activated when telling a story. C. Our brains prefer rote memorization when learning new words. D. Storytelling is a new learning method for people to practice. 34. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________. A. how to create a story timeline when telling a story B. why people need to provide a clear order of events C. how to use storytelling to improve memory performance D. why describing personal experiences is important when telling stories 35. What does the word “associate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Communicate. B. Compare. C. Agree. D. Connect. 36. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain how storytelling improves our brain function. B. To discuss why we should link experiences to storytelling. C. To encourage people to use the storytelling methods for better memory. D. To tell the differences between rote memorization and storytelling methods. D Do you like writing by hand or with a keyboard? 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. 37. 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 38. 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. 39. 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. 40. 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 第二节、阅读填空（5分） Ancient poems, English words, and history lessons... you have a lot to learn at school. Imagine if you could remember everything you see just once, like taking a photo. 41 Here are some tips from their work. Having an intense (剧烈的) workout. Scientists asked people to either ride a bike slowly for 90 minutes or do it really fast for 6 minutes. The fast riders made their brains produce more of a chemical called BDNE (脑源性神经营养因子). 42 Its amount is the highest after six minutes of intense workout.     Swaying (摇晃的) sleep. 43 Scientists have found that if we sleep in a bed that gently sways back and forth, we can have a deeper sleep, which improves our memory as well. Feeling all the feels. Feelings can affect memories. 44 A part of the brain called the amygdala (杏仁核) takes care of feelings and memories. So, if you want to remember something, first, try to get yourself excited or angry. 45 These easy tips can help you remember what you learn at school. Give them a try and see if they work for you. A. Then, just take out your book to learn new things! B. This chemical helps people remember things quickly. C. Remember how good it felt to be rocked to sleep as a baby? D. When you’re happy or sad, your brain wants to keep the memory. E. Scientists have done tests to find ways to make our memories better. 第2卷 非选择题（共40分） 第1节、 短文填词（5分） There are several great 46. m_________ to remember English words.
