A
Do you have trouble remembering where you put your eraser? Doing puzzles may help keep your mind sharp, but diet can make a big difference too.
According to many studies, some food and drinks may help to improve your memory. Why not try them? Scientists have found that sufficient (足够的) amounts of vitamin B2 can improve your memory. It’s found in common things like milk and dark green vegetables.
You can add a banana to your breakfast. It will be easier for you to focus on what the teachers say.
Studies have shown that eating fish once a week produces a 10 percent slower decline (衰退) in memory.
Try a cup of tea. Not only does it keep your brain working right, it also helps to relax and fight against mental tiredness.
We know that eggs are full of vitamin B12, which helps to fight against brain shrinkage (收缩) that is bad for the memory.
To improve your intake of zinc (锌), you can eat more wholegrains. Wholegrains help your brain work well.
If you’re really serious about improving your memory, don’t forget to make time for a good breakfast. A study found breakfast helped people score better on memory tests. And when kids eat a morning meal, their exam scores improve. “You are what you eat.” A well-balanced diet is of course great for your body. What’s more, junk food like hamburgers, chips and candies is bad for your health and memory. You should try to keep away from it.
11.How many healthy foods are mentioned in the article?
A.Six. B.Seven. C.Eight. D.Ten.
12.If Jenny feels sleepy, which can help her focus on the morning Maths class?
A.Fish or eggs. B.Milk or vegetables.
C.Wholegrains or cola. D.A cup of tea or a banana.
13.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.A cup of tea can help you relax. B.Breakfast is also very important.
C.Milk can help improve your memory. D.A balanced diet includes chips and candies.
14.What’s the purpose of this article?
A.To tell students how to exercise their brains. B.To solve students’ problems of bad grades.
C.To introduce students to some healthy foods. D.To encourage students to have morning meals.
15.The passage may come from ________.
A.morning news reports B.Chinese storybooks C.science fiction D.food magazines
B
Most of us have a valuable early memory of our childhood, but can we really believe those memories? Did those special moments really happen or did we just make them up?
These questions may sound strange, but according to research, about four out of ten of us invent our first childhood memories. Rather than having experienced something, we could have made up a fake (假的) memory from videos or photos we saw. We could have been influenced by a story told to us and then we could have used someone else’s memory as our own. What it means is that memories of our younger years, especially before the age of two, may be untrue. So don’t always believe them.
But why don’t we have clear memories from that age? According to Catherine Loveday, an expert at the University of Westminster, the memories that newborn babies have are not long-lasting. This is possibly because of the fast creation of brain cells (细胞) in our early years.
So why do we create fake memories? Some experts believe that there is a clear wish for a sense of self and a story of our existence (存在). Creating memories can give us a more complete picture of our early lives. As we get older, we want to have a complete picture of our whole lives. So, the next time someone says they have a clear memory from when they were one, or even before, just remember that while it could be true, there’s a chance that they just invented it at some point in their lives.
16.How did the writer bring out the topic?
A.By giving an answer. B.By telling a real story.
C.By giving an example. D.By asking questions.
17.What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A.Someone’s memories. B.Videos or photos.
C.Stories told to us. D.Memories of our younger years.
18.Why do babies’ memories only last for a short time?
A.Babies don’t experience much in life.
B.Babies’ brain cells are created quickly.
C.Babies have smaller brains than adults.
D.Babies don’t like to keep memories.
19.According to the last paragraph, when a friend tells you about his memory from when he was one, you should ________.
A.be tired of it B.question it
C.be happy with it D.completely believe it
20.What would be the best title of the passage?
A.Why do we lose our memories?
B.Can we believe in other people?
C.Are our first childhood memories real?
D.How do people get childhood amnesia (记忆缺失)?
C
If you’ve ever found yourself forgetting where you left your keys or forgetting information on important tests, you’ve probably wondered how to improve memory. There are a lot of things for you to do to improve your memory.
Focus your attention
Attention is one of the most important parts of memory. In order to move information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory, you need to actively attend to the information. Try to study in a place without television, music, and games. Remember, set aside a period of time to be alone. Ask your roommates to give you some space so you can focus on your work.
Remember important information
Have you ever noticed how it is sometimes easier to remember the information at the beginning or the end of a passage? Researchers have found that the order of information can play a role in recalling (回忆起) things. But recalling the middle information can be difficult. You can solve this problem by spending more time remembering this information.
Read out loud
Researchers have found that reading materials (材料) out loud can improve your memory for the materials. Students can use this way to remember words, sentences and passages. When using this way, you’d better ask others around you for permission or do together.
Get a good sleep
Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory and learning. Research has shown that taking a short rest after you learn something new can actually help you learn faster and remember better. So the next time you want to learn new information, consider getting a good sleep after your study.
21.Why does the writer say “Ask your roommates to give you some space so you can focus on your work.” in Paragraph 2?
A.Because roommates can help to work. B.Because you must finish the work on time.
C.Because more space can offer chances. D.Because the quiet place is good for work.
22.If you read a book with five parts, which part is the most difficult for you to recall?
A.The first part. B.The third part. C.The first two parts. D.The fifth part.
23.What do the underlined words “this way” refer to?
A.Reading out loud. B.Choosing good materials.
C.Asking for permission. D.Improving your memory.
24.What do we know from the fifth paragraph?
A.You need more time to remember information. B.Learning some new things needs more time.
C.A good sleep can help you remember better. D.A short rest is not helpful in learning new things.
25.What is the structure of this passage?
A. B. C. D.

For example, you will exercise your brain if you learn to play a new instrument or learn a foreign language. 27 In memory linking, you make mental connections to help you remember things. For example, you can make up a story to link items in a list so that you will remember them. You will be exercising your brain as well as improving your memory!
Second, if you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. Healthy eating habits are especially important, and a healthy diet helps maintain a good memory. 28 What’s more, regular physical exercise and getting enough sleep also help improve your memory.
Last but not least, it is important to get plenty of rest. Unless you take time to relax, your brain will find it hard to remember things. 29
Everyone has moments of forgetfulness and memory tends to decline with age. 30 However, you can maintain and even improve your memory if you exercise your brain, live a healthy life and make time to relax!
A.Besides, if you get too stressed or worried, your memory will become less sharp.
B.For example, eating green vegetables, nuts, berries and oily fish can improve your ability to remember things.
C.So, how can you improve your memory?
D.You can also improve your memory with brain games, such as crosswords, word games and maths puzzles.
E.In this way, you are not only training your brain but also having fun.
F.Therefore, it is quite normal for people to experience memory loss as they get older.

下面的材料A - F是几种记忆方法的介绍。请根据下面对几位同学的描述,帮他们找出适合他们的记忆方法。
A.Repeat things many times
Read the information aloud or think about it in your mind many times. This helps your brain remember things through repetition and makes memory last longer.
B.Make a mind map
Draw a mind map by putting the main idea in the center and adding key information around it. It connects ideas to make memorizing easier.
C. Use pictures
Turn words into pictures in your mind. For example, imagine a lovely “cat” when remembering the word “cat”. This method can help you recall information faster and make learning more fun.

1.A 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.A 6.A 7.B 8.C 9.B 10.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主题是记忆的秘诀,介绍了提升记忆力的几种有效方法。
【详解】1.句意:他们总是抱怨自己记不住学过的东西。
根据前文一些学生健忘,remember表示“记住”,符合语境;forget“忘记”,不符合学生想要记住知识的诉求,change“改变”,choose“选择”,均不符合句意。
2.句意:主要的问题是他们没有良好的学习习惯。
根据前文说他们记忆力不差,problem表示“问题”,符合语境;secret“秘诀”,不符合前后文逻辑,result“结果”,ability“能力”,均不符合句意。
3.句意:复习是改善记忆力最重要的方法。
根据句意,method表示“方法”,符合语境;story“故事”,和提升记忆无关,subject“科目”,mistake“错误”,均不符合句意。
4.句意:如果我们学习新知识却从不复习,我们很快就会丢失大部分知识。
根据人脑会慢慢遗忘事物,lose表示“丢失”,符合语境;recall“回忆”,master“掌握”,keep“保留”,均表达不会遗忘的含义,不符合句意。
5.句意:但是如果我们定期复习功课,我们就能把知识牢牢记住。
固定搭配hold…in our mind表示“把……记在脑海中”,hold表示“持有、保存”,符合语境;place“放置”,take“拿取”,bring“带来”,均不能和in our mind构成固定搭配。
6.句意:除了复习,专注也很重要。
根据后文讲述专注的好处,matters表示“要紧,有重大影响”,符合语境;costs“花费”,harms“伤害”,hurts“使疼痛”,均不符合句意。
7.句意:专注的大脑可以更清晰、更快地记住事物。
根据语境,clearly表示“清晰地”,符合语境;slowly“缓慢地”,和记忆效果好相悖,quietly“安静地”,bravely“勇敢地”,均不符合句意。
8.句意:此外,充足的睡眠和适当的锻炼可以让我们的大脑活跃起来。
