The answer lies not in their brain size but in their daily habits. People with good memories usually 1 their brains regularly, just like they exercise their bodies. They understand that memory is a 2 that can be improved with practice. One important habit is getting enough sleep. During sleep, your brain 3 the information you learned during the day. Without enough rest, new information may not 4 your long-term memory. Another useful method is to 5 new information with something you already know. For example, if you learn a new word, try to 6 it with a picture or a story. Stress is another factor that 7 memory. When you are stressed, your brain cannot work at its best. That’s why you might 8 a person’s name during an important conversation. To reduce stress, you can try deep breathing or taking short breaks. Finally, a healthy diet 9 a role in keeping a good memory. Foods like fish, nuts, and vegetables provide nutrients that help your brain function well. As the saying goes, “You are what you eat.” So, if you want to have a better memory, start by 10 small changes to your daily routine. 1．A．exercise B．ignore C．forget D．waste 2．A．gift B．skill C．secret D．problem 3．A．creates B．organizes C．deletes D．hides 4．A．enter B．escape C．leave D．avoid 5．A．compare B．confuse C．connect D．compete 6．A．replace B．associate C．cover D．mix 7．A．improves B．helps C．affects D．creates 8．A．remember B．forget C．recall D．recognize 9．A．plays B．makes C．does D．has 10．A．resisting B．rejecting C．making D．avoiding 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．B 7．C 8．B 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了好记忆力的秘密，包括锻炼大脑、充足睡眠、联想记忆、减轻压力和健康饮食等习惯。 【详解】1．句意：记忆力好的人通常会经常锻炼大脑，就如同锻炼身体一样。 根据后文“just like they exercise their bodies”类比锻炼身体，此处应为锻炼大脑，exercise“锻炼”符合。ignore“忽视”，forget“忘记”，waste“浪费”，均不符合语境。 2．句意：他们明白记忆力是一项可以通过练习提升的技能。 根据定语“that can be improved with practice”可知，能通过练习提高的是技能，skill“技能”匹配。gift“天赋”，secret“秘密”，problem“难题”，不符合文意。 3．句意：在睡眠期间，大脑整理你白天学到的信息。 “your brain...the information”表明，是整理信息。organizes“整理、梳理”，符合睡眠时大脑加工信息的常识。creates“创造”，deletes“删除”，hides“隐藏”，逻辑不通。 4．句意：如果休息不足，新信息可能无法进入长期记忆。 “new information may not...your long-term memory”表明，是新信息可能无法进入长期记忆，enter“进入”，符合记忆形成原理。escape“逃离”，leave“离开”，avoid“避免”，与句意相反。 5．句意：另一个有效的方法是把新信息和已知事物建立联系。 固定搭配connect…with…，意为“把……和……联系起来”。compare“对比”，confuse“使困惑”，compete“竞争”，搭配与含义不符。 6．句意：例如，当你学习新单词，尝试把它和一幅图画或者一个故事关联起来。 根据记忆技巧常识，associate…with是固定搭配，意为“把……和……联系起来”。replace“替换”，cover“覆盖”，mix“混合”，不符合记忆方法的语境。 7．句意：压力是另一个会影响记忆力的因素。 根据下文“brain cannot work at its best”可知，压力有负面影响，affects“影响”，符合语境。improves“提升”，helps“帮助”过于片面；creates“创造”，语义不通。 8．句意：这就是为什么你在重要交谈中可能会忘记别人的名字。 前文说明压力让大脑无法最佳运转，因此会forget“忘记”。remember“记住”，recall“回忆”，recognize“认出”，和语境矛盾。 9．句意：最后，健康饮食对保持良好记忆力起到作用。 固定短语play a role in…，意为“在……方面起作用”。makes、does、has无法构成该短语。 10．句意：所以如果你想要拥有更好的记忆力，可以从对你的日常习惯做出微小改变开始。 “start by...small changes”表明，此处指做出微小改变，固定搭配make changes，意为“做出改变”。resisting“抵抗”，rejecting“拒绝”，avoiding“避免”，语义不匹配。 二、阅读理解 Four students have written these tips for the school newspaper about improving memory. 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. 11．The four students have written these tips for ________. A．a picture book B．the class report C．a story magazine D．the school newspaper 12．Who suggests remembering something by imagining a picture of it? A．Paul. B．Henry. C．Sarah. D．Kate. 13．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. 14．What is Kate’s idea to improve memory? A．Exercising your brain. B．Drawing pictures often. C．Making short sentences. D．Understanding things well. 15．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. 【答案】11．D 12．B 13．B 14．A 15．C 【导语】本文是四位同学为校报撰写了提升记忆力的四条小技巧，分别介绍了图像联想法、造句记忆法、理解记忆法、锻炼大脑四种记忆方式。 【详解】11．根据原文第一段“Four students have written these tips for the school newspaper about improving memory.”，四条记忆技巧是写给校报的。 12．根据Henry的描述“A great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind.”，Henry建议通过在脑海中想象画面来记忆事物。 13．根据Sarah的方法“remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word”，用单词每个字母造句来记忆单词拼写，选项B用“Father and mother, I love you”记忆family符合该方法。 14．根据Kate的描述“It is important to exercise your brain.”，Kate提升记忆力的方法是锻炼大脑。 15．根据Paul的观点“You will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well...remembering the list of steps in the water cycle”，充分理解内容有助于复杂知识点的长期记忆。 三、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Remember to eat fruits and vegetables. They might just improve your memory. Scientists have found out several kinds of products—including vegetables which have green leaves, orange and red vegetables, berries and orange juice, are good for memory. Researchers at Harvard University have found that men who insisted on eating those fruits and vegetables over a period of 20 years were more likely to have better memory skills than those who seldom ate them. The study followed about 27,800 men in health care jobs over 20 years, and surveyed them on their diets and other health-related topics every four years. Toward the end of the study, the researchers started asking them questions about their memory. For example, “Do you have more trouble than usual remembering a short list of things, such as a shopping list?” or “Do you have more trouble than usual following a group conversation or a story in a TV program because of your memory?” “A growing number of ‘yes’ answers to such questions can mean their memory is going down,” the researchers said. The participants (参与者) were divided into five groups, based on how many servings (分量) of vegetables and fruits they got each day, from six servings in the healthiest group to just two servings. The six-serving eaters were 34 percent less likely to be forgetful. And the results were even better if the men happened to eat carotenoid (类胡萝卜素)-rich vegetables, such as carrots and pumpkins. Besides, those who drank orange juice often were 47 percent less likely to become forgetful, compared with those who drank orange juice less than once a month. “Our study provides further evidence that diet choices can be important to keep your brain healthy,” researchers said. 16．How long did the researchers follow the participants in the study? 17．According to the study, what vegetables are good for people’s memory? 18．According to Paragraph 4, what can it mean when a person’s memory is becoming worse? 19．What do the researchers think the study can prove? 20．Would you start drinking orange juice more often? Why or why not? 【答案】16． Over 20 years. 17． Green-leaf vegetables, orange and red vegetables, and carotenoid-rich vegetables like carrots and pumpkins. 18． A growing number of “yes” answers. 19． Diet choices can be important to keep your brain healthy. 20． Yes, because it helps improve memory. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了哈佛大学研究人员通过一项长达20年的研究发现，多吃蔬菜和水果，特别是某些特定种类，有助于改善记忆力，保持大脑健康。 【详解】16．根据文章第3段“The study followed about 27,800 men in health care jobs over 20 years”可知，研究人员跟踪参与者的时间超过了20年。 17．根据第二段整句“including vegetables which have green leaves, orange and red vegetables...”和第五段第三句“eat carotenoid-rich vegetables, such as carrots and pumpkins”，整合关键信息：绿叶蔬菜、橙红色蔬菜以及胡萝卜、南瓜这类富含类胡萝卜素的蔬菜，归纳整合可得出以上蔬菜都对记忆力有益。 18．根据文章第4段“A growing number of ‘yes’ answers to such questions can mean their memory is going down”可知，回答“是”的次数增多意味着记忆力变差。 19．根据文章第6段“Our study provides further evidence that diet choices can be important to keep your brain healthy”可推知，研究证明了饮食选择对大脑健康的重要性。 20．根据文章第5段“those who drank orange juice often were 47 percent less likely to become forgetful”可知，喝橙汁有助于减少健忘，改善记忆，所以此处可做肯定回答，并给出理由。答案不唯一，合理即可。 一、短文填空 （2026山西中考）请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，将适当的单词填入空白处，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。每空一词。    How to Improve Memory                                  You may find it hard to remember what you have learned in class. In fact, it’s quite common to 21 things. Here is some advice. You can use songs to help you. Pick a song 22 interests you. Change what you need to remember into its lyrics. Then you can memorize them as you sing. It is relaxing and easy. A mind map helps you organize information in a visual (视觉的) way. We need several steps to create a mind map. First, write the main idea in the center. For example, write “ 23 ” in the center. Then, write other key ideas around the main idea like “the Mid-Autumn Festival”, “the Spring Festival”, “the Dragon Boat Festival” and so on. Next, write more words about the key ideas like “date”, “food”, “activities” and so on. Now, look 24 the mind map. It’s very helpful, right? No one can remember everything, 25 everybody can learn how to improve their memory. Follow the tips, and you will make progress. 【答案】21．forget 22．that/which 23．festivals 24．at 25．but 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何提高记忆力，并给出了利用歌曲和制作思维导图等实用建议。 【详解】21．句意：事实上，忘记东西是很常见的。空格前为不定式符号to，后面需要接动词原形，不定式短语在句中作真正主语；根据上文“You may find it hard to remember what you have learned in class.”的语境可知，此处表示忘记事情十分普遍，动词forget“忘记”符合文意。 22．句意：选一首你感兴趣的歌曲。本句为定语从句，先行词是“a song”，指代事物，关系代词在从句中充当主语，需要用关系代词that/which引导该定语从句，且在从句中作主语，符合语法规则与语境。 23．句意：例如，在中心位置写上“节日”。根据后文列举的中秋节、春节、端午节这些节日，再结合下方思维导图的中心主题词可知，此处表达各类节日，名词festivals“节日”符合语境。 24．句意：现在看一看这张思维导图。固定短语搭配look at意为“看”，后面接具体的查看对象“the mind map”，介词at符合固定搭配用法与句子语境。 25．句意：没有人能记住所有事情，但是每个人都可以学习如何提升自己的记忆力。前半句表示没有人可以记住一切内容，后半句讲述人人都能学会改善记忆力，两个分句之间是转折逻辑关系，并列连词but表转折，符合句子逻辑与语境。 $Unit 4 Our Memory 课时2 Section A (2a-2d) 分层作业 A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 拓展 链接中考 ( 词汇 _________ 混淆；弄乱 _________ 有效使用(或利用)某物 _________ /brein/n.脑；智力 _________ /tfen/n.链条 _________ /'sterbl/ adj. 稳定的；稳固的 _________ / ri:'tel/v. 复述 _________ /'memərarz/(=memorise) v.记住；记忆 _________ /tik/v.给……打钩 n. 对号；钩号 句型 1.

Scientists have found out several kinds of products—including vegetables which have green leaves, orange and red vegetables, berries and orange juice, are good for memory. Researchers at Harvard University have found that men who insisted on eating those fruits and vegetables over a period of 20 years were more likely to have better memory skills than those who seldom ate them. The study followed about 27,800 men in health care jobs over 20 years, and surveyed them on their diets and other health-related topics every four years. Toward the end of the study, the researchers started asking them questions about their memory. For example, “Do you have more trouble than usual remembering a short list of things, such as a shopping list?” or “Do you have more trouble than usual following a group conversation or a story in a TV program because of your memory?” “A growing number of ‘yes’ answers to such questions can mean their memory is going down,” the researchers said. The participants (参与者) were divided into five groups, based on how many servings (分量) of vegetables and fruits they got each day, from six servings in the healthiest group to just two servings. The six-serving eaters were 34 percent less likely to be forgetful. And the results were even better if the men happened to eat carotenoid (类胡萝卜素)-rich vegetables, such as carrots and pumpkins. Besides, those who drank orange juice often were 47 percent less likely to become forgetful, compared with those who drank orange juice less than once a month. “Our study provides further evidence that diet choices can be important to keep your brain healthy,” researchers said. 16．How long did the researchers follow the participants in the study? 17．According to the study, what vegetables are good for people’s memory? 18．According to Paragraph 4, what can it mean when a person’s memory is becoming worse? 19．What do the researchers think the study can prove? 20．Would you start drinking orange juice more often? Why or why not? 一、短文填空 （2026山西中考）请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，将适当的单词填入空白处，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。每空一词。    How to Improve Memory                                  You may find it hard to remember what you have learned in class.
