Last term, I was always the boy who 2 his homework, his keys and even what the teacher said five minutes ago. My grades dropped and I felt 3 . One day, Ms. Lin, our science teacher, noticed this. After class she said, "Your brain isn't broken. You just haven't found the 4 that work for you." She told me there are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term memory holds a phone number for a few seconds, while long-term memory can keep a childhood story for a 5 . "To move things from short-term to long-term," she went on, "you need to 6 often. The more you review, the more likely you'll remember." She also asked me to 7 new words with old pictures in my mind. "If you want to remember the word 'bridge'," she said, "picture the bridge where we had our school picnic." Another tip was to 8 key points instead of trying to keep every word. "Make a mind map," she advised. "Divide information into groups. It stops your brain from getting 9 ." She warned me not to 10 my brain out by studying for hours without a break. "Sleep is when your brain 11 memories," she explained. I decided to try. I wrote a small to-do list every morning, linked English words with funny images, and reviewed notes for ten minutes before sleep. Within a month, I could 12 long passages without looking at the book. My brain felt clearer, and I was no longer the 13 boy in class. Now I understand: memory isn't about being smart — it's about using the right 14 . Anyone can boost their memory if they stay 15 and train their brain a little every day. 1.A. use　　　 B. cut　　　 C. hate　　　 D. sell 2.A. finished　 B. copied　 C. enjoyed　 D. forgot 3.A. proud　　 B. angry　 C. upset　　 D. surprised 4.A. games　　 B. techniques　 C. toys　　 D. meals 5.A. week　　 B. month　 C. lifetime　 D. moment 6.A. guess　　 B. review　 C. waste　　 D. hide 7.A. compare　 B. cover　　 C. fight　　 D. link 8.A. write down　 B. give up　 C. put off　 D. take away 9.A. strong　　 B. happy　 C. tired　　 D. young 10.A. wear　　 B. find　　 C. turn　　 D. work 11.A. loses　　 B. throws　 C. burns　 D. organizes 12.A. retell　　 B. draw　 C. sing　　 D. cook 13.A. lazy　　 B. forgetful　 C. brave　 D. noisy 14.A. colors　 B. excuses　 C. methods　 D. languages 15.A. confident　 B. silent　 C. afraid　 D. lonely 三、阅读理解 Do you ever walk into a room and forget why you went there? Or struggle to remember the name of someone you met last week? Most people think memory loss only happens to the old, but scientists now say everyday lifestyle choices affect how well your memory works at any age. A recent study from Cambridge University followed 2000 adults aged 18 to 60 for 5 years. The results showed people who walked for just 30 minutes a day scored 20% higher on memory tests than those who sat for more than 8 hours a day. Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, and even light activity helps grow new brain cells related to memory storage. Diet also plays a big role. The study found people who ate 2 handfuls of blueberries a week were less likely to mix up words or forget recent events. Blueberries contain antioxidants that protect brain cells from damage. On the other hand, people who drank more than 2 sugary drinks a day had 15% faster memory decline over the research period. Another surprising finding: people who spent 10 minutes a day learning a new small skill (like a new word, a short tune, or how to fold an origami animal) kept their memory far sharper than those who only did routine tasks. The researchers explain that learning new things forces the brain to build new connections, instead of repeating the same paths it already knows. Professor Lee, who led the study, said: "Most people don't need special memory pills. Small daily habits add up: move every day, eat fruit regularly, learn one tiny new thing, and get 7 hours of sleep. Sleep is when the brain sorts out the day's information and stores important parts into long-term memory. If you cut sleep to 5 hours a night for a month, your memory works as poorly as someone who stayed awake for 24 hours straight." The study also noted that stress is the biggest hidden enemy of memory: people under high stress for long periods produced too much cortisol, a chemical that damages the part of the brain responsible for forming new memories. 1.What is the main finding of the Cambridge study? A. Memory loss only happens to people over 60. B. Only heavy exercise can improve memory performance. C. Special memory pills are the best way to boost memory. D. Daily lifestyle choices influence memory at all ages. 2.According to the study, which of the following is good for memory? A. Drinking 3 sugary drinks every day. B. Sitting for 10 hours a day to finish work faster. C. Eating blueberries twice a week. D. Learning only routine skills you already know well. 3.Why does learning a new small skill help memory? A. It reduces stress immediately. B. It helps the brain build new connections. C. It replaces the need for sleep. D. It lets you eat more sugary food without harm. 4.What does the underlined word "cortisol" in the last paragraph refer to? A. A harmful chemical produced when people are stressed. B. A kind of antioxidant found in blueberries. C. A new brain cell that stores long-term memories. D. A type of medicine that treats memory loss. 5.What would be the best title for this passage? A. Why Old People Always Forget Things B. Small Daily Habits to Keep Your Memory Sharp C. The History of Human Memory Research D. Why Sleep Is More Important Than Exercise 四、阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯、意思完整。选项中有一项为多余选项。 People often believe a good memory means never forgetting anything. In fact, forgetting is a normal and even useful part of how the brain works. 1 First, forgetting helps the brain stay clean. Every day we see thousands of small details—street noises, old ads, the color of a stranger’s shoes. If we kept all of them, our heads would be full of useless trash. 2 Second, forgetting the unimportant makes space for what really matters. Scientists found that when we sleep, the brain keeps important knowledge like maths rules or a friend’s name, but throws away meaningless information. 3 Third, a little forgetting can actually make learning better. After we forget a small part of what we read, we have to work harder to recall it next time. 4 That extra effort builds a stronger memory path in the brain. So instead of feeling sad every time you forget something, try to see it another way. 5 Forgetting isn’t the enemy of memory—it is part of how memory stays healthy. A. This is why you can still remember your homework but not what you ate for lunch last Tuesday. B. It is not always a problem; sometimes it is the brain’s smart way of sorting things out. C. The brain is like a library that sends old books to the basement so new ones can sit on the table. D. That process is called “active forgetting”, and it helps us focus on the future, not the past. E. This small struggle trains the brain to hold the knowledge more firmly. F. Many students think they should never eat blueberries if they want a better memory. 1.__________2. __________3. __________ 4. __________5. ___________ 五、补全对话 阅读下面的对话，根据上下文，从方框内选择恰当的选项补全对话，使对话的意思连贯、完整。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Li Hua: Chen Ming, I'm going crazy. I can't remember the historical dates for tomorrow's test. Chen Ming: 1 I used to mix up 1860 and 1894 every time. Li Hua: Really? So how did you fix it? Chen Ming: I stopped reading the dates again and again. 2 Li Hua: A timeline? You mean drawing a line with years on it? Chen Ming: Exactly. And next to each year I write a tiny story—like "1894: Li Hongzhang built the navy, think of ships on the sea". 3 Li Hua: That sounds like connecting new information with pictures in your mind. Chen Ming: Yes! Our teacher says that's active recall. 4 The brain keeps what is meaningful, not what is repeated blindly. Li Hua: I never thought of that. 5 Chen Ming: Sure. We can draw one together for Chapter 3 after dinner. A. Don't worry, you're not alone. B. I just made a simple timeline on paper. C. Can you help me make one tonight? D. The funny story makes the year stick in my head. E. I think copying the book ten times is the best way. F. It forces your brain to build new paths instead of reciting by rote. 1.__________2. __________3. __________ 4. __________5. ___________ 六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you ever wish you could remember things more easily? There is an old trick called the “memory palace”. People have used it for thousands of years. Even great speakers in ancient times used it to remember long speeches without looking at any notes. Here is how it works. First, picture a place you know very well, like your own bedroom or your classroom. Next, imagine putting the things you want to remember in different corners of that place. For example, you can put a new word on your bed, a friend’s birthday on the desk, and a shopping item on your chair. When you need to remember these things later, just walk through that place in your mind. The things will come back to you one by one. A recent study shows that students using this method can remember about forty percent more words than those who only read the words again and again. After a few days of practice, even younger students can see clear improvement in their daily study. The best part is that this skill is like riding a bike. Once you get good at it, you can use it for many different things, such as learning English words, remembering a to-do list, or even preparing for a class speech. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个单词。 1.What is the old trick called? 2.Where do you first picture in your mind? 3.How can you recall things later? 4.How much more can users remember? 5.What is the skill like after you learn it? 七、词汇题 1. 根据句意和汉语提示写出单词，完成句子。 1.When we heard the bad news, everyone could feel the deep ______ (悲伤) in the room. 2.Please tell me the ______ (位置) of the nearest hospital, my grandma feels sick. 3.I can still clearly ______ (回忆起) the taste of my grandma's homemade cookies from my childhood. 4.After the heavy rain, the old house finally fell down, it wasn't ______ (稳定的) enough. 5. We need to learn how to put all the old donated clothes to good ______ (利用) instead of throwing them away. （二）用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 6.When the fire alarm went off, all the students ______ (reaction) quickly and ran out of the classroom. 7.I used to ______ (mix) up "accept" and "except" when I first learned English. 8.It took me half an hour to ______ (memory) all the key points for today's history class. 9.To get better grades, you need to ______ (discussion) your problems with your teachers in time. 10.Our monitor ______ (divide) us into 4 teams to finish the group project just now. 八、选词填空，从方框中选出正确的词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整，每词限用一次。sleep memory turn connect repeat easy note importance brain use Many students ask: “Why can't I remember what I learned?” The answer lies in how our 1 works. When you learn new facts, they first go to short-term memory. To 2 them into long-term memory, you need to act smartly. First, don't just 3 words over and over. 4 new knowledge with things you already know. For example, when learning a new word, link it to a picture or a personal story. It makes the word stick much 5. Second, taking messy 6 is not enough. Summarizing key points in your own words helps a lot. Studies show this method improves exam scores by nearly 30%, because it forces you to think about the 7 of the material, not just copy it. Third, don't pull all-nighters before tests. Getting 8 hours of 8 lets your brain sort information properly. Without enough sleep, your 9 ability drops by half the next day. Finally, review what you learned 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month later. This is the most 10 way to never forget what you studied. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 九、书面表达 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友 Tom 来信说，他最近总记不住英语单词，感到很苦恼，向你求助。请你给他回一封邮件，内容包括： 表示理解并安慰； 分享至少两条你认为有效的记忆方法（如联想、复习、睡眠等，任选角度，不要与前面练习中的“记忆宫殿”“时间轴”重复）； 表达祝福。 注意： 词数 80～100；开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；文中不得出现真实校名和人名；语言得体，建议具体可行。 Dear Tom, I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble Yours, Li Hua 参考答案 一、单项选择 1-5 AABDC 6-10 ADCDB 二、完形填空 1-5 ADCBC 6-10 BDACA 11-15 DABCA 三、阅读理解 1-5 DCBAB 四、阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯、意思完整。选项中有一项为多余选项。 1-5 BCAED 五、补全对话 1-5 ABDFC 六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 1.Memory palace. 2.

Don’t worry—it happens to many learners, and there are easy ways to fix it. First, try grouping words by topic, like “food” or “school life”. This helps your brain keep them in order. Second, review new words regularly. A quick look after class, then again before bed, works much better than cramming. Also, get enough sleep. A well-rested brain remembers more. I hope these ideas help you. Wish you good progress in English! Yours, Li Hua 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
