一、完形填空
Do you remember the first time you rode a bike? Most people do. Memories like these are stored in our long-term memory. But how does our brain decide what to keep and what to throw away?
Scientists say that emotions (情感) play a big role. We are more likely to remember things that made us feel very happy, very scared, or very 1 . For example, you probably remember your first day at school clearly because you felt nervous and excited. On the other hand, you might 2 what you ate for lunch last Tuesday because it wasn’t very special.
Another factor is repetition (重复). If you hear a piece of information once, it might stay in your short-term memory for a few seconds. But if you review it again and again, it moves into your long-term memory. That’s why 3 the same vocabulary words every day helps you remember them for a test.
Sleep is also important for memory. While we sleep, our brain 4 the day’s events and decides what to keep. Studies show that students who get enough sleep before an exam often get 5 grades than those who stay up late studying. Their brains have had time to “save” the information properly.
Interestingly, our senses can trigger (触发) memories. A certain smell, like freshly baked bread, might suddenly remind you of your grandmother’s kitchen. This is because the parts of the brain that handle smell and memory are closely 6 .
However, memory isn’t perfect. Sometimes we remember things that didn’t actually happen, or we mix up details. This is called a false memory. For example, if someone tells you a story about your childhood often enough, you might start to “remember” it, even if you weren’t really there.
Understanding how memory works can help us improve it. By staying organized, getting enough rest, and connecting new information to things we already know, we can make our memories 7 and more reliable. After all, our memories make us who we are—they are our personal history books.

The Power of Childhood Memories
Childhood memories are more than just stories from the past—they are the building blocks of our identity. Research has shown that the experiences we have in our early years can shape our values, beliefs, and even our future choices.
Dr. Emily Chen, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, conducted a study on the role of childhood memories in adult life. She found that people who had positive childhood memories were more likely to have strong relationships and better mental health. “Our early experiences create a foundation for how we see the world and ourselves,” she explained.
One of the study’s participants, Michael, grew up in a small town. He recalls spending long summers exploring the woods with his cousins. “Those experiences taught me about teamwork and adventure,” he said. “They gave me a sense of freedom and curiosity that I still carry with me today.”
The study also found that sharing childhood memories with others can strengthen social connections. When people talk about their past, they build bridges of understanding and empathy. It reminds us that despite our differences, we all share the universal experience of growing up.
Dr. Chen encourages everyone to take time to reflect on their childhood. “Your memories are a gift,” she says. “They connect you to who you are and who you want to become.”
8.What can childhood memories do according to the passage?
A.They can only bring sadness. B.They can shape our values and beliefs.
C.They are not important. D.They can cause mental health problems.
9.Who conducted the study mentioned in the passage?
A.Michael. B.Dr. Emily Chen. C.A university student. D.A teacher.
10.What did Michael learn from his childhood experiences?
A.How to make money. B.Teamwork and adventure.
C.How to become a doctor. D.The importance of studying.
11.What does sharing childhood memories do?
A.It makes people feel lonely. B.It strengthens social connections.
C.It causes arguments. D.It makes people forget the past.
12.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Childhood memories are not useful in adult life. B.Childhood memories are powerful and shape our identity.
C.Only positive childhood memories are important. D.People should forget their childhood and focus on the future.

Useful Ways to Improve Your Memory
Poor memory troubles plenty of students. However, memory can be improved with easy daily methods. 13
First, form regular review habits. It’s normal to forget things, but repeated review can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. 14 Don’t wait until the night before exams to review all knowledge.
Second, use the power of your senses. When you memorize poems or rules, you can draw simple graphs or listen to recorded reading. 15 Pictures and sounds leave deeper marks in your brain.
Third, do not push your brain too hard. After studying for about forty minutes, take a short break. 16 If your brain gets worn out, you will hardly take in new information.
Fourth, keep healthy daily lifestyles. Do sports often and get enough sleep every night. 17 A healthy body offers good support for your brain and memory.
A.These multi-sense methods make memorization easier.
B.Review small knowledge points every few days.
C.Here are four practical suggestions for you.
D.Never stop reviewing once you finish learning.
E.Healthy bodies help our brains work well.
F.Don’t keep studying without any rest all day long.
一、任务型阅读
根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。每空不超过三个词。
Everyone sleeps. Good sleep helps you get enough rest and stay energetic. While you sleep, your brain processes the information it has received during the day and forms memories. Also, your body does lots of repair work—refreshing tired body parts, reducing pains and cleaning up waste in your body.
Today, people sleep for a whole night. However, diaries, books and other records from the 15th to 17th centuries suggest people used to sleep differently. People would go to sleep between 9 pm and 11 pm for a couple of hours. They would wake up for a while, and during this period they might read a book, visit a neighbor or do some chores. Afterwards, they would lie down for the second sleep, which lasted until morning. Researchers think it was the invention of the light bulb in 1879 that changed this. Electric lights meant people started staying up later, so when they finally went to bed, they slept until morning.
The Industrial Revolution (工业革命) also changed how people slept. Starting in the 18th century, people moved from the countryside to the city to work in the factories. People had to get up and start their job at a certain time. To make sure people didn’t oversleep, knocker-uppers also known as wake-up helpers appeared. They made money by waking people up. Every morning, they would walk down the street knocking on doors or windows with sticks. As alarm clocks grew popular in the 1930s and 1940s, knocker-uppers weren’t needed any more.
Today, our sleep is mainly influenced by both social pressure and electronic products. Falling asleep becomes hard and sleeping quality goes down. Put screens away 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Keep a comfortable bedroom temperature, avoid bright light and reduce the nearby noise. These will help you relax and wind down. If you have lots of thoughts or worries, writing them down before bedtime can help you put them aside for the night.

【答案】1.grandson 2.go through 3.happen to 4.keep; in mind 5.In your case
【解析】
1.grandson 句意:这位老奶奶想要把饼干留给她的孙子。形容词性物主代词her后接名词,grandson意为“孙子;外孙”,使用单数形式。故填grandson。
2.go through 句意:许多老年人上了年纪都会遭遇记忆力方面的问题。句子主语people为复数,时态为一般现在时,go through表示“经历”,谓语动词用原形。故填go through。
3.happen to 句意:别担心,不会有坏事降临到你身上。will后面需要接动词原形,happen to意为“发生于;使遭遇”。故填happen to。
4.keep; in mind 句意:学习新单词的时候,你应当牢记这些实用方法。情态动词should后接动词原形,固定搭配keep...in mind意为“记在心中;记住”。故填keep; in mind。
5.In your case 句意:每个人情况各不相同。就你的情况而言,你可以耐心和奶奶沟通。in sb’s case意为“就某人的情况而言”,结合语境代词使用your,句首首字母大写。故填In your case。

【答案】
1.treasure 2.activities 3.spending 4.surprise 5.improve 6.positive 7.figure out 8.key 9.mainly 10.likely
【导语】本文介绍了“记忆守护者”这类人的特点、习惯及科学家对其记忆能力成因的探讨,说明反思过去有助于保护记忆,但记忆能力主要源于长期养成的习惯。
【详解】1.句意:他们是那些深深珍视过去经历并总是珍惜自己所经历时刻的人。treasure“珍惜”,动词,本句描述一般性习惯,用一般现在时,主语they为复数,谓语动词用原形,故填treasure。
2.句意:他们并非都有相同的背景或做同样的活动。activity为可数名词,前有same修饰,此处指相同的各类“活动”,故填复数形式activities。
3.句意:大多数记忆守护者也是喜欢独处思考的有思想的人。spend“花费时间”,动词,enjoy后接动名词作宾语,故填spend的动名词形式spending。
4.句意:这一发现对心理学家来说并不令人惊讶。surprise“令人惊讶的事”,可数名词,因为前有a修饰,故填单数形式surprise。
5.句意:这能提高他们储存和提取信息的能力。improve“提高”为动词,can后接动词原形,故填improve。
6.句意:研究健康老龄化的科学家说,他们也是善于反思的,并且对生活持积极的态度。positive“积极的”,形容词,此处要作定语修饰outlook,所以无需变化,直接填positive。
7.句意:科学家们仍在试图找出答案。figure out为动词短语,意为“弄清楚”,try to do sth.后接动词原形,故填figure out。
8.句意:科学家认为遗传和环境是成为记忆守护者的关键原因。key此处为形容词,意为“关键的”,修饰reasons,故填key。
9.句意:回忆能力似乎主要来自你长期养成的习惯。main“主要的”,形容词,此处需用副词修饰动词comes,故填main的副词形式mainly。
10.句意:那些将记忆放在首位的人更有可能保留他们珍贵的经历。like“像”,介词,根据句意和语境,此处表示“有可能”,短语be likely to do意为“有可能做某事”,故填likely。

7.A.shorter B.weaker C.stranger D.stronger
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.B 6.B 7.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了影响记忆力的因素,如情感、重复、睡眠等,并提出了改善记忆的建议。
【详解】1.句意:我们更可能记住那些让我们感到非常快乐、非常害怕或非常生气的事情。
根据“happy, scared”可知,此处需填入一个能引发强烈情绪反应的形容词,与前后文构成并列关系。angry“愤怒”是典型的强烈负面情绪,和恐惧、喜悦并列,是情绪维度的常规并列搭配,符合语境。bored“无聊的”,通常导致遗忘;interested“感兴趣的”,程度较弱;surprised“惊讶的”持续时间短,很少用来作为能够长期留存记忆的标志性强烈情绪。
2.句意:另一方面,你可能会忘记上周二午餐吃了什么,因为它没什么特别的。
根据“On the other hand”及“wasn’t very special”可知,此处与前文“remember... clearly”形成对比,表示不特别的事情容易遗忘。forget“忘记”符合逻辑。remember“记得”,与语境相反;enjoy“享受”、mind“介意”均不符合记忆存留的语境。
3.句意:这就是为什么每天复习相同的词汇有助于你记住它们以备考试。
根据上文“review it again and again”可知,此处指重复学习的过程。going over意为“复习、重温”,与“review”同义。looking up “查阅”、making up“编造”、taking over“接管”均不符合语境。
4.句意:当我们睡觉时,我们的大脑处理白天的事件并决定保留什么。
根据科学常识及下文“decides what to keep”可知,睡眠时大脑会对信息进行整理加工。processes意为“处理”,符合大脑巩固记忆的功能。collects“收集”、changes“改变”、ignores“忽视”均不符合语境。
5.句意:研究表明,考试前睡眠充足的学生通常比熬夜学习的学生成绩更高。
根据“get enough sleep”及常识可知,充足睡眠有助于记忆,从而带来更好的成绩。higher“更高”,修饰grades表示分数更高,符合语境。lower“更低”、worse“更差”、fewer“更少”均不符合。
6.句意:这是因为处理嗅觉和记忆的大脑部分是紧密连接的。
根据上文“trigger memories”可知,嗅觉能触发记忆是因为大脑相关区域有关联。connected意为“连接”,符合大脑神经结构的描述。compared“比较”、covered“覆盖”、competed“竞争”均无法解释嗅觉与记忆的关系。
7.句意:通过保持条理,得到足够的休息,并将新信息与我们已知的事物联系起来,我们可以使我们的记忆更牢固且更可靠。
根据“improve it”及“more reliable”可知,此处需填入一个表示记忆变好的形容词。stronger意为“更牢固、更强”,符合改善记忆的目标。shorter“更短”、weaker“更弱”、stranger“更奇怪”均不符合。

The Power of Childhood Memories
Childhood memories are more than just stories from the past—they are the building blocks of our identity. Research has shown that the experiences we have in our early years can shape our values, beliefs, and even our future choices.
Dr. Emily Chen, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, conducted a study on the role of childhood memories in adult life. She found that people who had positive childhood memories were more likely to have strong relationships and better mental health. “Our early experiences create a foundation for how we see the world and ourselves,” she explained.
One of the study’s participants, Michael, grew up in a small town. He recalls spending long summers exploring the woods with his cousins. “Those experiences taught me about teamwork and adventure,” he said. “They gave me a sense of freedom and curiosity that I still carry with me today.”
The study also found that sharing childhood memories with others can strengthen social connections. When people talk about their past, they build bridges of understanding and empathy. It reminds us that despite our differences, we all share the universal experience of growing up.
Dr. Chen encourages everyone to take time to reflect on their childhood. “Your memories are a gift,” she says. “They connect you to who you are and who you want to become.”

Useful Ways to Improve Your Memory
Poor memory troubles plenty of students. However, memory can be improved with easy daily methods. 13
First, form regular review habits. It’s normal to forget things, but repeated review can turn short-term memory into long-term memory. 14 Don’t wait until the night before exams to review all knowledge.
Second, use the power of your senses. When you memorize poems or rules, you can draw simple graphs or listen to recorded reading. 15 Pictures and sounds leave deeper marks in your brain.
Third, do not push your brain too hard. After studying for about forty minutes, take a short break. 16 If your brain gets worn out, you will hardly take in new information.
Fourth, keep healthy daily lifestyles. Do sports often and get enough sleep every night. 17 A healthy body offers good support for your brain and memory.
A.These multi-sense methods make memorization easier.
B.Review small knowledge points every few days.

一、任务型阅读
根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。每空不超过三个词。
Everyone sleeps. Good sleep helps you get enough rest and stay energetic. While you sleep, your brain processes the information it has received during the day and forms memories. Also, your body does lots of repair work—refreshing tired body parts, reducing pains and cleaning up waste in your body.
Today, people sleep for a whole night. However, diaries, books and other records from the 15th to 17th centuries suggest people used to sleep differently. People would go to sleep between 9 pm and 11 pm for a couple of hours. They would wake up for a while, and during this period they might read a book, visit a neighbor or do some chores. Afterwards, they would lie down for the second sleep, which lasted until morning. Researchers think it was the invention of the light bulb in 1879 that changed this. Electric lights meant people started staying up later, so when they finally went to bed, they slept until morning.
The Industrial Revolution (工业革命) also changed how people slept. Starting in the 18th century, people moved from the countryside to the city to work in the factories. People had to get up and start their job at a certain time. To make sure people didn’t oversleep, knocker-uppers also known as wake-up helpers appeared. They made money by waking people up. Every morning, they would walk down the street knocking on doors or windows with sticks. As alarm clocks grew popular in the 1930s and 1940s, knocker-uppers weren’t needed any more.
Today, our sleep is mainly influenced by both social pressure and electronic products. Falling asleep becomes hard and sleeping quality goes down. Put screens away 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Keep a comfortable bedroom temperature, avoid bright light and reduce the nearby noise. These will help you relax and wind down. If you have lots of thoughts or worries, writing them down before bedtime can help you put them aside for the night.

【详解】18.原文第一段指出“your body does lots of repair work—refreshing tired body parts, reducing pains and cleaning up waste in your body”,“does lots of repair work”说明睡眠时身体会进行修复,题干中用“get+过去分词”的被动结构表达“被修复”,因此应填repaired。
19.表格该部分介绍的是睡眠方式随时间的变化,对应全文核心内容:从15-17世纪的分段睡眠,到电灯发明后的整夜睡眠,再到工业革命时期的叫醒服务,以及现代受电子产品影响的睡眠方式,这些都属于睡眠习惯的变化,因此应填sleep habits/sleeping habits。
20.原文第二段指出“People would go to sleep between 9 pm and 11 pm for a couple of hours. They would wake up for a while...Afterwards, they would lie down for the second sleep”,即15至17世纪的人们一晚有两次睡眠,分为两个时段,因此应填two periods
21.原文第三段指出“To make sure people didn’t oversleep, knocker-uppers also known as wake-up helpers appeared. They made money by waking people up”,即工业革命时期人们需要为敲窗人的服务付费,“pay for”表示“为……付费”,因此应填paid。
22.原文第四段指出“Put screens away 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Keep a comfortable bedroom temperature, avoid bright light and reduce the nearby noise”,这些措施都是为了创造一个合适的睡眠环境,因此应填environment。
