One New Year’s Day, as I was taking out the apples from the shopping bag 6 as usual, he looked at me and said, “Sophia, what are you doing?” I was 7 .

Henry A great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world. Sarah A good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants.” Paul You will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works. Kate It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can also try a word puzzle (字谜) or learn new skills. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 16．The four students have written these tips for ________. A．a picture book B．the class report C．a story magazine D．the school newspaper 17．Who suggests remembering something by imagining a picture of it? A．Paul. B．Henry. C．Sarah. D．Kate. 18．Which example fits Sarah’s memory tip? A．Imagine a red apple to remember “apple”. B．Use the sentence “Father and mother, I love you” for “family”. C．Understand the planet movement to remember the solar system. D．Walk a new way home while you are repeating phone numbers. 19．What is Kate’s idea to improve memory? A．Exercising your brain. B．Drawing pictures often. C．Making short sentences. D．Understanding things well. 20．Which of the following is TRUE according to the four tips? A．Henry’s tip works best for understanding processes. B．Sarah’s tip is only useful for remembering long words. C．Paul’s tip helps with long-term memory of complex ideas. D．Kate’s tip focuses on changing daily habits to relax the brain. B Everyone forgets things sometimes. But if you find yourself always forgetting where you put your keys or what your homework is, it might be time to change some habits. Here are some science-backed ways to improve your memory. ▲ Use your senses. When you are trying to remember something new, try to connect it with your senses. For example, if you meet a new person named Daisy, picture a daisy flower (雏菊) in your mind. If you are trying to remember to buy milk, imagine the cold feeling of the milk bottle. The more senses you use, the stronger the memory will be. Don’t multitask. Many students like to listen to music, chat online, and do homework at the same time. But scientists say multitasking is bad for memory. When your attention is divided, your brain can’t process information deeply. It is better to focus on one thing at a time. Teach someone else. This is a powerful method. If you want to remember a piece of knowledge firmly, try explaining it to your deskmate. When you teach, you have to organize the information clearly in your mind. This process helps move the information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Change your environment. Studying in the same quiet room is good, but sometimes a change of scene helps. A study showed that students who studied the same material in two different rooms remembered 20% more than those who stayed in one room. This is because different environments provide different “cues” (线索) for your brain. Remember, improving memory is like building muscles. It takes time and practice. Start with one tip today! 21．Which sentence should be put in “ ▲ ” in the paragraph about using senses? A．Milk is white and good for health. B．Daisy smells sweet and grows in spring. C．Hello, Daisy! Nice to meet you. D．I like flowers very much. 22．According to the passage, why is multitasking bad for memory? A．Because it makes us feel tired quickly. B．Because it divides our attention. C．Because it makes the environment noisy. D．Because it takes too much time. 23．What can we learn from the passage? A．Studying in different rooms can help us remember more. B．Listening to music while studying is always helpful. C．Teaching others is the easiest way to learn. D．We should focus on three things at a time. 24．Which shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A．P1: Introduction → P2-P5: Methods → P6: Conclusion B．P1: Problem → P2-P5: Reasons → P6: Solution C．P1: Question → P2-P5: Examples → P6: Summary D．P1: Fact → P2-P5: Arguments → P6: Opinion 25．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To tell us why we forget things. B．To introduce some ways to improve memory. C．To advise us to study in different rooms. D．To explain how our brain works. C Do you know why you can still remember your childhood phone number but forget where you put your keys five minutes ago? Scientists say this is because of the difference between “automatic memory” and “active memory”. Automatic memory stores information we use very often, like our home address, parents’ names, or how to ride a bike. We don’t need to try to remember these things—our brain keeps them forever because we use them again and again. That’s why you can still sing the alphabet song (字母歌) even if you haven’t sung it for years. Active memory, however, needs attention. It holds new information for a short time, like a shopping list or a new classmate’s name. If we don’t focus on it or repeat it, it disappears quickly. For example, if someone tells you a phone number and you don’t write it down or say it aloud, you’ll probably forget it in 20 seconds. A study at Harvard University found that active memory can hold about 7 pieces of information at a time. But this changes if we use “chunking” (组块法). Chunking means grouping small bits of information into larger units. For example, remembering a 10-digit number like 13812345678 is hard. But if you break it into chunks—138-1234-5678—it becomes much easier. This is why memory champions often use chunking to remember long lists of words or numbers. Interestingly, stress and lack of sleep can hurt active memory. When we are worried or tired, our brain can’t process new information well. So, if you want to remember something important, stay calm and get enough rest! Understanding how these two types of memory work can help us study smarter and avoid forgetting things in our daily lives. 26．What is the main difference between automatic memory and active memory? A．Automatic memory lasts long, while active memory is short-lived. B．Active memory stores phone numbers, while automatic memory stores names. C．Automatic memory needs attention, while active memory doesn’t. D．Active memory is used for riding bikes, while automatic memory is not. 27．Why can we still remember our childhood phone number? A．Because it is stored in active memory. B．Because we use it very often. C．Because it is easy to remember. D．Because we wrote it down many times. 28．What does the underlined word “disappears” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．出现 B．储存 C．消失 D．重复 29．According to the passage, what is “chunking”? A．Repeating information again and again. B．Breaking large units into small bits. C．Grouping small bits into larger units. D．Writing down information quickly. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Remember Phone Numbers Quickly B．The Importance of Sleep for Memory C．Automatic Memory vs. Active Memory D．A Study on Memory Champions D 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Memory is an important ability that supports our study and daily life. It helps us store knowledge and remember precious life experiences. 31 Many people think that memory is a born ability. In fact, this is not true. 32 No matter what kind of memory you have now, you can make it better with scientific training. Focus is the first rule of memory training. 33 If your mind is full of other things, your brain cannot record information clearly, and you will forget it soon. Besides, repeating and reviewing are necessary. Forgetting is natural, but timely review can slow down forgetting speed. 34 Continuous repetition can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. In addition, healthy living habits are essential. Enough sleep, a balanced diet and proper exercise can keep our brain active. 35 A．Good focus is the basis of memory. B．This makes our memory work better. C．Memory can be improved by hard training. D．So we should review knowledge regularly. E．A good memory brings us many advantages. F．Few people have naturally perfect memory 三、选词填空（10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 ride   information   think   long-term    them    never    why   part    play   easily It’s said that using certain skills is “just like riding a bike.” In other words, once they’ve been learned, you never forget 36 . And it’s true that while we often forget facts, we can usually jump on a bike and ride away without 37 about it. But why are you generally still able to ride a bike even after having not 38 one for years? The answer is that certain skills, such as how to drive or 39 an instrument, are part of our procedural (程序性的) memory. It is a kind of 40 memory that performs different procedures. And while these procedures may be difficult to learn, once learned completely, they’re 41 forgotten. This happens because procedural memory and declarative (陈述性的) memory are stored in different 42 of the brain. To tell the difference, declarative memory is responsible for remembering 43 like names, dates, and events from your life. Studies say that the cells (细胞) in the part storing procedural memory can not 44 die or get hurt. So procedural memories aren’t erased very often. Now you know 45 we don’t forget how to ride a bicycle. Can you name other skills that you’re also unlikely to ever forget? 四、任务型阅读（10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题 。(请注意每小题的词数要求) People who have dementia (痴呆) often forget what to say, what happened or who people around them are. Thanks to three teenage girls and their teacher Nomayo, there’s a new app to help these people. The name of the app is Memory Haven. The app can help with the main problems that those people have. For example, there is a photo wallet. It lets users look through the pictures, and helps them remember important people in their lives. When asked about the app, Nomayo talked about her mom. She died in March this year. “The first time I found something wrong was three or four years ago. She started having an unreal feeling. She lived in America, but she’d think that she was in Nigeria. Another time when I gave her something to sew (缝补), she looked sad because she forgot how to do it,” Nomayo said. “I should do something to help her.” The teenagers just want to help as many people as possible. They hope that the app can become well-known one day, reach lots of people who have dementia, and just make their lives a little easier. 1. Three girls and their teacher Nomayo made a new 46 to help people with dementia. (仅填1词) 2. Nomayo told a story about 47 to show why she wanted to invent (发明) the app. (不超过5词） 3&4.

A．To tell us why we forget things. B．To introduce some ways to improve memory. C．To advise us to study in different rooms. D．To explain how our brain works. 【答案】21．C 22．B 23．A 24．A 25．B 【解析】文章介绍了四种改善记忆力的方法。 21．该段主题是“Use your senses运用感官”，因此见到Daisy应联想到雏菊并称呼对方名字，选项C的情景与段中举例人名对应，符合语境。 22．根据第三段内容“When your attention is divided, your brain can’t process information deeply.”可知它分散我们的注意力，选项B符合题意。 23．根据第五段“A study showed that students who studied the same material in two different rooms remembered 20% more than those who stayed in one room.”可知在不同房间学习可以帮助我们记住更多东西，选项A符合题意。 24．根据文章内容可知，P1引出话题（总起，介绍下文提高记忆的方法）；P2‑P5介绍四种改善记忆的方法；P6最后总结，属于“总—分—总”结构，选项A符合题意。 25．根据第一段内容“Here are some science-backed ways to improve your memory.”和后文介绍四种改善记忆的方法，可知文章主要目的是介绍几种科学的提高记忆力的方法。选项B符合题意。 C Do you know why you can still remember your childhood phone number but forget where you put your keys five minutes ago? Scientists say this is because of the difference between “automatic memory” and “active memory”. Automatic memory stores information we use very often, like our home address, parents’ names, or how to ride a bike. We don’t need to try to remember these things—our brain keeps them forever because we use them again and again. That’s why you can still sing the alphabet song (字母歌) even if you haven’t sung it for years. Active memory, however, needs attention. It holds new information for a short time, like a shopping list or a new classmate’s name. If we don’t focus on it or repeat it, it disappears quickly. For example, if someone tells you a phone number and you don’t write it down or say it aloud, you’ll probably forget it in 20 seconds. A study at Harvard University found that active memory can hold about 7 pieces of information at a time. But this changes if we use “chunking” (组块法). Chunking means grouping small bits of information into larger units. For example, remembering a 10-digit number like 13812345678 is hard. But if you break it into chunks—138-1234-5678—it becomes much easier. This is why memory champions often use chunking to remember long lists of words or numbers. Interestingly, stress and lack of sleep can hurt active memory. When we are worried or tired, our brain can’t process new information well. So, if you want to remember something important, stay calm and get enough rest! Understanding how these two types of memory work can help us study smarter and avoid forgetting things in our daily lives. 26．What is the main difference between automatic memory and active memory? A．Automatic memory lasts long, while active memory is short-lived. B．Active memory stores phone numbers, while automatic memory stores names. C．Automatic memory needs attention, while active memory doesn’t. D．Active memory is used for riding bikes, while automatic memory is not. 27．Why can we still remember our childhood phone number? A．Because it is stored in active memory. B．Because we use it very often. C．Because it is easy to remember. D．Because we wrote it down many times. 28．What does the underlined word “disappears” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．出现 B．储存 C．消失 D．重复 29．According to the passage, what is “chunking”? A．Repeating information again and again. B．Breaking large units into small bits. C．Grouping small bits into larger units. D．Writing down information quickly. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Remember Phone Numbers Quickly B．The Importance of Sleep for Memory C．Automatic Memory vs. Active Memory D．A Study on Memory Champions 【答案】26．A 27．B 28．C 29．C 30．C 【解析】本文主要介绍了两种记忆：自动记忆与主动记忆，对比二者的存储特点、区别，讲解提升主动记忆的组块法，以及影响主动记忆的因素。 26．文章第2段“Automatic memory stores information we use very often...our brain keeps them forever”与第3段“Active memory...It holds new information for a short time”表明自动记忆留存时间长，主动记忆留存时间短。 27．文章第2段“Automatic memory stores information we use very often...our brain keeps them forever because we use them again and again.”表明自动记忆存储的是我们经常使用的信息。童年电话号码属于此类，是因为过去经常使用。 28．文章第3段“If we don’t focus on it or repeat it, it disappears quickly...you’ll probably forget it in 20 seconds.”表明如果不关注、不重复信息，它会快速……，二十秒内就会忘记，可推断disappears意为“消失”。 29．文章第4段“Chunking means grouping small bits of information into larger units.”表明组块法是把零散小信息归成更大的信息单元，与C选项匹配。 30．文章第一段引出话题，第二、三段分别详细介绍了“automatic memory”和“active memory”的特点，第四、五段进一步说明相关技巧和建议。通篇主要围绕这两种记忆方式展开对比和说明，故C选项最适合作标题。 D 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Memory is an important ability that supports our study and daily life. It helps us store knowledge and remember precious life experiences. 31 Many people think that memory is a born ability. In fact, this is not true. 32 No matter what kind of memory you have now, you can make it better with scientific training. Focus is the first rule of memory training. 33 If your mind is full of other things, your brain cannot record information clearly, and you will forget it soon. Besides, repeating and reviewing are necessary. Forgetting is natural, but timely review can slow down forgetting speed. 34 Continuous repetition can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. In addition, healthy living habits are essential. Enough sleep, a balanced diet and proper exercise can keep our brain active. 35 A．Good focus is the basis of memory. B．This makes our memory work better. C．Memory can be improved by hard training. D．So we should review knowledge regularly. E．A good memory brings us many advantages. F．Few people have naturally perfect memory 【答案】31．E 32．C 33．A 34．D 35．B 【解析】本文主要介绍了记忆的重要性，纠正了“记忆是天生的”这一误解，并提出了通过专注、复习巩固和健康习惯来提升记忆力的具体方法。 31．第一段主要阐述记忆力对学习和支持日常生活的重要性。E项“好的记忆力给我们带来很多优势”是对前文所述作用的概括总结，符合段意。 32．第二段前文“Many people think that memory is a born ability. In fact, this is not true.”指出“记忆力并非天生”，后文提到“you can make it better with scientific training”可以通过科学训练变得更好。C项“记忆力可以通过刻苦训练得到提高”承上启下，与后文的“scientific training”直接呼应。 33．第三段首句提出“专注是记忆训练的第一规则”，并解释若心思杂乱则无法清晰记录，说明专注是记忆的基础。A项“良好的专注力是记忆的基础”进一步强调了专注的重要性，与段首主题句逻辑一致。 34．第四段主要讲复习的必要性，前文提到“Forgetting is natural, but timely review can slow down forgetting speed.”遗忘是自然的，但及时复习可以减缓遗忘速度，后文又说“continuous repetition can turn short-term memory into long-term memory.”持续重复能将短期记忆转为长期记忆，因此中间应提出具体行动建议。D项“所以我们应该定期复习知识”是基于前文原因得出的结论，逻辑通顺。 35．第五段讲述健康的生活习惯能保持大脑活跃。前文“Enough sleep, a balanced diet and proper exercise can keep our brain active.”列举了充足睡眠、均衡饮食和适当锻炼等健康习惯，指出它们能保持大脑活跃，因此本空应总结这些习惯对记忆的积极作用。B项“这使我们的记忆力工作得更好”说明了其带来的积极结果，符合逻辑。 三、选词填空（10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 ride   information   think   long-term    them    never    why   part    play   easily It’s said that using certain skills is “just like riding a bike.” In other words, once they’ve been learned, you never forget 36 . And it’s true that while we often forget facts, we can usually jump on a bike and ride away without 37 about it. But why are you generally still able to ride a bike even after having not 38 one for years? The answer is that certain skills, such as how to drive or 39 an instrument, are part of our procedural (程序性的) memory. It is a kind of 40 memory that performs different procedures. And while these procedures may be difficult to learn, once learned completely, they’re 41 forgotten. This happens because procedural memory and declarative (陈述性的) memory are stored in different 42 of the brain. To tell the difference, declarative memory is responsible for remembering 43 like names, dates, and events from your life. Studies say that the cells (细胞) in the part storing procedural memory can not 44 die or get hurt. So procedural memories aren’t erased very often. Now you know 45 we don’t forget how to ride a bicycle. Can you name other skills that you’re also unlikely to ever forget? 【答案】 36．them 37．thinking 38．ridden 39．play 40．long-term 41．never 42．parts 43．information 44．easily 45．why 【解析】本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍程序性记忆、陈述性记忆两类记忆的储存特点，解释学会骑车这类技能很难被遗忘的内在原理。 36．句意：换句话说，一旦掌握这类技能，你就永远不会忘记它们。此处需要人称代词宾格，在句中作forget的宾语，指代前文的“certain skills”；skills是复数，用宾格them指代，所以选择them。 37．句意：虽然我们常会遗忘事实，但大多时候可以直接骑上自行车出发，不需要思考这件事。此处需要动名词，作介词without的宾语；结合句意“不用思考”，固定搭配think about表示“思考”，所以选择think，变为动名词thinking。 38．句意：为什么多年没有骑过自行车，你通常依旧会骑车呢？此处需要动词过去分词，搭配现在完成时否定结构have not done；结合语境 “多年没有骑过自行车”，所以选择ride，过去分词是ridden。 39．句意：答案是部分技能，比如开车、演奏乐器，都属于我们的程序性记忆。此处需要动词原形，和前面的drive并列，由how to引导不定式结构；play an instrument是固定搭配演奏乐器，所以选择play。 40．句意：这是一种用于执行不同操作的长期记忆。此处需要形容词修饰名词memory；long-term意为“长期的”，贴合程序性记忆留存时间久的特点，所以选择long-term。 41．句意：尽管这类操作学习难度大，但一旦完全掌握，就永远不会被遗忘。此处需要副词修饰被动语态的谓语forgotten；never表“从不、永不”，契合技能记忆难以丢失的特点，所以选择never。 42．句意：出现这种情况是因为程序性记忆、陈述性记忆储存在大脑不同区域。此处需要一个名词，作介词in的宾语。different后必须搭配可数名词复数，语境为“大脑不同区域”，所以选择part变形为复数形式parts。 43．句意：简单来说，陈述性记忆负责储存姓名、日期、人生经历这类信息。此处需要一个不可数名词，作remembering的宾语。后文“names, dates, events”都属于各类信息，information表信息且无复数变形，所以选择information。 44．句意：研究表明储存程序性记忆的脑细胞不容易受损、消亡。此处需要一个副词，在句中修饰动词lose，语境为“不容易丢失受损”，所以选择easily。 45．句意：现在你已经明白我们不会忘记怎么骑自行车的原因了。此处需要一个宾语从句引导词，引导know后的宾语从句。前文整段都在解释不会忘骑车的原因，所以用表原因的连接词why。 四、任务型阅读（10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题 。(请注意每小题的词数要求) People who have dementia (痴呆) often forget what to say, what happened or who people around them are.

Henry A great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world. Sarah A good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants.” Paul You will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works. Kate It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can also try a word puzzle (字谜) or learn new skills. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 16．The four students have written these tips for ________. A．a picture book B．the class report C．a story magazine D．the school newspaper 17．Who suggests remembering something by imagining a picture of it? A．Paul. B．Henry. C．Sarah. D．Kate. 18．Which example fits Sarah’s memory tip? A．Imagine a red apple to remember “apple”. B．Use the sentence “Father and mother, I love you” for “family”. C．Understand the planet movement to remember the solar system. D．Walk a new way home while you are repeating phone numbers. 19．What is Kate’s idea to improve memory? A．Exercising your brain. B．Drawing pictures often. C．Making short sentences. D．Understanding things well. 20．Which of the following is TRUE according to the four tips? A．Henry’s tip works best for understanding processes. B．Sarah’s tip is only useful for remembering long words. C．Paul’s tip helps with long-term memory of complex ideas. D．Kate’s tip focuses on changing daily habits to relax the brain. B Everyone forgets things sometimes. But if you find yourself always forgetting where you put your keys or what your homework is, it might be time to change some habits. Here are some science-backed ways to improve your memory. ▲ Use your senses. When you are trying to remember something new, try to connect it with your senses. For example, if you meet a new person named Daisy, picture a daisy flower (雏菊) in your mind. If you are trying to remember to buy milk, imagine the cold feeling of the milk bottle. The more senses you use, the stronger the memory will be. Don’t multitask. Many students like to listen to music, chat online, and do homework at the same time. But scientists say multitasking is bad for memory. When your attention is divided, your brain can’t process information deeply. It is better to focus on one thing at a time. Teach someone else. This is a powerful method. If you want to remember a piece of knowledge firmly, try explaining it to your deskmate. When you teach, you have to organize the information clearly in your mind. This process helps move the information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Change your environment. Studying in the same quiet room is good, but sometimes a change of scene helps. A study showed that students who studied the same material in two different rooms remembered 20% more than those who stayed in one room. This is because different environments provide different “cues” (线索) for your brain. Remember, improving memory is like building muscles. It takes time and practice. Start with one tip today! 21．Which sentence should be put in “ ▲ ” in the paragraph about using senses? A．Milk is white and good for health. B．Daisy smells sweet and grows in spring. C．Hello, Daisy! Nice to meet you. D．I like flowers very much. 22．According to the passage, why is multitasking bad for memory? A．Because it makes us feel tired quickly. B．Because it divides our attention. C．Because it makes the environment noisy. D．Because it takes too much time. 23．What can we learn from the passage? A．Studying in different rooms can help us remember more. B．Listening to music while studying is always helpful. C．Teaching others is the easiest way to learn. D．We should focus on three things at a time. 24．Which shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A．P1: Introduction → P2-P5: Methods → P6: Conclusion B．P1: Problem → P2-P5: Reasons → P6: Solution C．P1: Question → P2-P5: Examples → P6: Summary D．P1: Fact → P2-P5: Arguments → P6: Opinion 25．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To tell us why we forget things. B．To introduce some ways to improve memory. C．To advise us to study in different rooms. D．To explain how our brain works. C Do you know why you can still remember your childhood phone number but forget where you put your keys five minutes ago? Scientists say this is because of the difference between “automatic memory” and “active memory”. Automatic memory stores information we use very often, like our home address, parents’ names, or how to ride a bike. We don’t need to try to remember these things—our brain keeps them forever because we use them again and again. That’s why you can still sing the alphabet song (字母歌) even if you haven’t sung it for years. Active memory, however, needs attention. It holds new information for a short time, like a shopping list or a new classmate’s name. If we don’t focus on it or repeat it, it disappears quickly. For example, if someone tells you a phone number and you don’t write it down or say it aloud, you’ll probably forget it in 20 seconds. A study at Harvard University found that active memory can hold about 7 pieces of information at a time. But this changes if we use “chunking” (组块法). Chunking means grouping small bits of information into larger units. For example, remembering a 10-digit number like 13812345678 is hard. But if you break it into chunks—138-1234-5678—it becomes much easier. This is why memory champions often use chunking to remember long lists of words or numbers.

So, if you want to remember something important, stay calm and get enough rest! Understanding how these two types of memory work can help us study smarter and avoid forgetting things in our daily lives. 26．What is the main difference between automatic memory and active memory? A．Automatic memory lasts long, while active memory is short-lived. B．Active memory stores phone numbers, while automatic memory stores names. C．Automatic memory needs attention, while active memory doesn’t. D．Active memory is used for riding bikes, while automatic memory is not. 27．Why can we still remember our childhood phone number? A．Because it is stored in active memory. B．Because we use it very often. C．Because it is easy to remember. D．Because we wrote it down many times. 28．What does the underlined word “disappears” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．出现 B．储存 C．消失 D．重复 29．According to the passage, what is “chunking”? A．Repeating information again and again. B．Breaking large units into small bits. C．Grouping small bits into larger units. D．Writing down information quickly. 30．What is the best title for the passage?

And it’s true that while we often forget facts, we can usually jump on a bike and ride away without 37 about it. But why are you generally still able to ride a bike even after having not 38 one for years? The answer is that certain skills, such as how to drive or 39 an instrument, are part of our procedural (程序性的) memory. It is a kind of 40 memory that performs different procedures. And while these procedures may be difficult to learn, once learned completely, they’re 41 forgotten. This happens because procedural memory and declarative (陈述性的) memory are stored in different 42 of the brain. To tell the difference, declarative memory is responsible for remembering 43 like names, dates, and events from your life. Studies say that the cells (细胞) in the part storing procedural memory can not 44 die or get hurt. So procedural memories aren’t erased very often. Now you know 45 we don’t forget how to ride a bicycle. Can you name other skills that you’re also unlikely to ever forget? 四、任务型阅读（10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题 。(请注意每小题的词数要求) People who have dementia (痴呆) often forget what to say, what happened or who people around them are.

For example, there is a photo wallet. It lets users look through the pictures, and helps them remember important people in their lives. When asked about the app, Nomayo talked about her mom. She died in March this year. “The first time I found something wrong was three or four years ago. She started having an unreal feeling. She lived in America, but she’d think that she was in Nigeria. Another time when I gave her something to sew (缝补), she looked sad because she forgot how to do it,” Nomayo said. “I should do something to help her.” The teenagers just want to help as many people as possible.
