Some people have a very good memory(记忆) and can easily learn quite long poems(诗) by heart. O 1 have poor memory and can only remember things when they have said again and a 2 .
The famous English writer, Charles Dickens, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the n 3 of every shop on both sides of the street. Many great men of the world have a w 4 memory.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by r 5 what he hears when he is a small child. Some children live with their parents in foreign countries and they seem to l 6 two languages as easily as one. In school it is not so e 7 to learn a foreign language because students have little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects too. A man’s mind is quite like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we f 8 , hear, smell and taste. When we take real photos with cameras, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to s 9 to our friends. In the s 10 way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

Can memory be i 1 ? Most people hope to have a better memory that helps them succeed in study, work and life. Luckily, t 2 of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Doing exercise is also one of the most helpful m 3 which can keep your brain alive.

But do not expect a r 5 change—it takes a long time to make a difference.
Memory skills help you remember things better. Chunking(分拆) is a way of remembering a piece of i 6 by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a telephone number 2127983630, you can d 7 it into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630.
What’s more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are a 8 to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as much as p 9 .

Passage 5
Improving Memory
In many ways, our memories shape who we are. They make up our internal biographies (传记)—the stories we tell o 1 about what we’ve done with our lives. They tell us who we’re connected to, who we’ve touched during our lives, and who has touched us. In short, our memories are i 2 to the essence (本质) of who we are as human beings.
That means age-related memory loss can represent (代表) a l 3 of self. It also affects the practical side of life, like getting around the neighborhood or remembering h 4 to contact a loved one. It’s not surprising, then, that people are concerned about decreasing thinking and memory skills as they age.
What c 5 some people to lose their memory while others stay sharp? Genes play a r 6 , but so do choices. Ways to improve memory i 7 following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, and keeping blood pressure and blood sugar in check. Living a m 8 active life is important, too. Just as muscles grow stronger with use, mental exercise helps keep mental skills and memory in tone.
Are certain kinds of “brain work” more effective t 9 others? Any brain exercise is better than being a mental couch potato. Watching the latest marathon on the History Channel may not be enough. L 10 a new language, volunteering, and other activities that strain your brain are better.

【导语】本文主要讲述了记忆力是什么以及如何提高我们的记忆力。
【详解】
1.句意:它们组成了我们的内在传记——我们告诉自己关于在生活中做了什么的故事。根据“the stories we tell…about what we’ve done with our lives.”以及首字母提示,此处指告诉“我们自己”,ourselves“我们自己”符合语境,为反身代词。故填(o)urselves。

5.句意:是什么导致一些人失去记忆,而另一些人保持敏锐?根据“some people to lose their memory”可知,此处指“导致”记忆丧失的原因,动词cause符合语境,该句是一般现在时,主语是“What”,动词填三单形式。故填(c)auses。
6.句意:基因起了一定作用,但选择也是如此。固定搭配play a role“起作用”符合语境。故填(r)ole。

Passage 6
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词。
You might have found a friend or classmate who remembers every single detail. How can they make it? A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a b 1 memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there are plenty of things that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are i 2 in and forget the ones that make us feel bored. This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results w 3 difficulty but make a very great effort to remember dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and pay close a 4 . One way to “make” yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more the better! Moreover, researchers have found that information organized in groups can be easy to remember. You can use this by organizing the materials you are s 5 . Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook readings to help group the information. Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Be sure things are clear in your m 6 . If not, ask questions until you understand! What’s more, when you’re learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship b 7 the present information and what you’ve already known. Then it can help you remember the information. Physical exercise is also important for your memory, b 8 it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also r 9 stress, which is very bad for the memory.
So the next time you’re learning new information, you can use the m 10 above. I’m sure that you will improve your memory and get more out of it.
【答案】
1.bad/ad 2.interested/nterested 3.without/ithout 4.attention/ttention 5.studying/tudying 6.mind/ind 7.between/etween 8.because/ecause 9.reduces/educes 10.methods/ethods
【导语】本文主要介绍了围绕“记忆力可通过刻意行动改善”展开,首先打破“好记性天生、差记性不可改变”的固有认知,随后给出5个具体可操作的记忆力提升方法。
【详解】
1.句意:好记性通常被认为是天生的,而差记性则被认为是无法改变的。根据“A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a...memory as something that cannot be changed”结合首字母提示可知,此处指“不好的记忆”,bad“坏的,不好的”,形容词。故填bad。
2.句意:我们都会记住自己感兴趣的事情,而忘记那些让我们感到无聊的事情。根据“We all remember the things we are...in and forget the ones that make us feel bored.”结合首字母提示可知,be interested in“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。
3.句意:这无疑解释了为什么男生能毫不费力地记住足球比赛结果,却要费很大劲才能记住历史课上的日期!根据“This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results...difficulty”结合首字母提示可知,without difficulty“毫不费力地,容易地”。故填without。
4.句意:对想要记住的内容产生主动兴趣,并密切关注它。根据“and pay close...”结合首字母提示可知,pay close attention“密切注意”。故填attention。
5.句意:你可以通过整理正在学习的材料来利用这一方法。根据“You can use this by organizing the materials you are...”结合首字母提示可知,此处指正在学习的材料,study“学习”,动词,放于are之后,应用现在分词形式。故填studying。
6.句意:确保事情在你的脑海中是清晰的。根据“Be sure things are clear in your...”结合首字母提示可知,in one’s mind“在某人脑海中”。故填mind。
7.句意:当你学习新材料时,花时间思考当前信息与你已知信息之间的关联。根据“take the time to think about the relationship...the present information and what you’ve already known.”结合首字母提示可知,between...and...“在……之间”。故填between。
8.句意:体育锻炼对记忆力也很重要,因为它能提高心率,向大脑输送更多氧气,让你的记忆工作更好。根据“...it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain”结合首字母提示可知,体育锻炼对记忆力也很重要的原因在于它能提高心率,向大脑输送更多氧气,让你的记忆工作更好,because“因为”,引导原因状语从句。故填because。
9.句意:锻炼还能减少压力,而压力对记忆力是非常有害的。根据“Exercise also...stress”结合首字母提示可知,此处指锻炼能减少压力,主语Exercise为不可数名词,动词用第三人称单数形式,reduce“减少”,动词。故填reduces。
10.句意:所以下次你学习新信息时,可以使用上面提到的这些方法。根据“you can use the...above.”结合首字母提示可知,此处指以上的方法,method“方法”,可数名词,应用复数形式。故填methods。

Unit 4 Our Memory
短文填空题型专练(话题:人与自我——记忆)
热点题型概览
题型夯基提升
巩固基础·专项突破
Passage 1
阅读短文,并根据首字母提示补全短文,每空一词。
Some people have a very good memory(记忆) and can easily learn quite long poems(诗) by heart. O 1 have poor memory and can only remember things when they have said again and a 2 .
The famous English writer, Charles Dickens, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the n 3 of every shop on both sides of the street. Many great men of the world have a w 4 memory.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by r 5 what he hears when he is a small child. Some children live with their parents in foreign countries and they seem to l 6 two languages as easily as one. In school it is not so e 7 to learn a foreign language because students have little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects too. A man’s mind is quite like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we f 8 , hear, smell and taste. When we take real photos with cameras, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to s 9 to our friends. In the s 10 way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Passage 2
阅读下面短文,根据括号内所给汉语注释写出单词的正确形式(每空一词)。
Memory is a fascinating and complex 1 (现象). Scientists have been studying it for 2 (几十年), yet many 3 (方面) remain mysterious. One of the most interesting areas is how memories are 4 (影响) by emotions. When we experience strong emotions, the brain releases chemicals that 5 (强化) the memory.
Another important finding is that memory is not a 6 (完美的) recording of the past. It is a 7 (重构) of events, influenced by our beliefs and 8 (期望). This means that two people can 9 (记得) the same event very differently. Understanding this can help us be more 10 (宽容) of others’ perspectives.
Passage 3
阅读下面短文,根据括号内所给汉语注释写出单词的正确形式 (每空一词)。
Do you want to improve your memory? If so, it’s 1 (必要) to know how memory works. There are two 2 (基本) types: short-term memory and long-term memory. Short-term memory helps you keep things in mind for a short 3 (一段时间). Long-term memory lets you remember information like the password to your online bank 4 (账户) for days, years or even forever. The key is to move what you learn into long-term memory, and you can do this with smart memory 5 (技巧) and a healthy lifestyle.
First, focus carefully and take notes of key points. It's always easier to remember a summary than a long 6 (段落). Second, review what you've learnt often. Study for 40 minutes and then take a 7 (休息). You can also 8 (讨论) or teach the knowledge to others. Third, use your senses. You can create 9 (图像) like mind maps or listen to recorded information. Finally, sleeping well, eating healthily and exercising often can also 10 (促进) your memory. Try different methods to find what works for you.
Passage 4
Memory is a precious ability that helps us hold onto happy moments and important knowledge. But some people struggle to m 1 things easily. Here are some useful tips to i 2 your memory.
First, get enough sleep. When you sleep, your brain organizes the information you received during the day, so a good night’s sleep can make your memory s 3 . Second, do more brain exercises, like playing chess or solving logic puzzles. These activities can t 4 your brain to work more efficiently. Third, pay a 5 to what you want to remember. If you don’t focus, it’s hard for your brain to s 6 the information properly.
Another tip is to connect new things with something you already know. For e 7 , if you want to remember a new word, you can link it to a familiar picture or story. Also, r 8 things regularly is necessary—review the information every few days to keep it in your long-term memory.
Don’t w 9 if you forget something sometimes; it’s totally normal. Just keep practicing these tips, and you will find your memory becomes b 10 day by day.
培优拔高·挑战攻坚
Passage 1
Memory is a treasure for everyone, but sometimes we find it hard to r 1 things. Here are some tips to help improve your memory.
First, pay a 2 to what you want to remember. If you’re not listening carefully, it’s easy to f 3 information quickly. Second, connect new things with something you already know. For example, if you want to remember a new word, you can link it to a funny s 4 . Third, r 5 the information regularly. Reviewing what you've learned every day helps keep it in your mind.
Also, having a healthy lifestyle is important. Eating more fruit and vegetables can i 6 your brain function. Getting enough sleep is also n 7 ; when you’re tired, your memory doesn’t work well. Don’t forget to do some e 8 too. Exercise helps keep your brain active.
Many people think only old people have memory p 9 , but even students may have trouble remembering things. Following these tips, you can make your memory s 10 than before.
Passage 2
阅读下面短文,根据括号内所给汉语注释写出单词的正确形式(每空一词)。
My grandmother has a 1 (宝贵的) box of memories. In it, she keeps letters from my grandfather, 2 (照片) of her children, and 3 (票根) from places she has visited. She often takes out the box and 4 (分享) stories with me.
One day, she showed me a 5 (日记) she kept when she was a teenager. In it, she wrote about her dreams, her 6 (朋友), and her first day at school. I was 7 (惊讶的) to see that she had the same worries and hopes as I do. She said, “Memories are the 8 (财富) of life. They 9 (帮助) us understand who we are.”
Now, I have started my own box of memories. I want to 10 (保存) these moments for the future.
Passage 3
Sometimes, children can’t keep a single bit of information in their mind while they are doing something else. If so, they may have p 1 with their working memory. It is an important skill for children. Here are some t 2 to help improve children’s working memory.
Read actively. They may form long-term (长时间的) memories more e 3 when children take part in active reading. Active reading i 4 not only asking notes, but also speaking aloud and asking questions about the material that they are reading.
Use visualization (形象化) skills. When reading something, ask children to imagine the scene of the story and d 5 it. For example, ask them to set a table for a few people and have a picture in their m 6 , and then have a description.
Ask them to teach others. Teaching a 7 person means being able to understand the information well before saying it aloud. When children are learning a new skill, ask them to show others h 8 to do it. They should be able to explain it to others.
M 9 , there are lots of matching games that can be played to improve their working memory, or you can use something simple like a m 10 or a newspaper. Have them find a certain word as many times as they can in one minute.
Passage 4
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,使短文意思完整,每空限填一词。
Can memory be i 1 ? Most people hope to have a better memory that helps them succeed in study, work and life. Luckily, t 2 of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Doing exercise is also one of the most helpful m 3 which can keep your brain alive. That is because exercise provides much oxygen(氧气) for the brain. The h 4 your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become. But do not expect a r 5 change—it takes a long time to make a difference.
Memory skills help you remember things better. Chunking(分拆) is a way of remembering a piece of i 6 by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a telephone number 2127983630, you can d 7 it into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630.
What’s more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are a 8 to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as much as p 9 .
Human brains are like persons w 10 need exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.
Passage 5
Improving Memory
In many ways, our memories shape who we are. They make up our internal biographies (传记)—the stories we tell o 1 about what we’ve done with our lives. They tell us who we’re connected to, who we’ve touched during our lives, and who has touched us. In short, our memories are i 2 to the essence (本质) of who we are as human beings.
That means age-related memory loss can represent (代表) a l 3 of self. It also affects the practical side of life, like getting around the neighborhood or remembering h 4 to contact a loved one. It’s not surprising, then, that people are concerned about decreasing thinking and memory skills as they age.
What c 5 some people to lose their memory while others stay sharp? Genes play a r 6 , but so do choices. Ways to improve memory i 7 following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, and keeping blood pressure and blood sugar in check. Living a m 8 active life is important, too. Just as muscles grow stronger with use, mental exercise helps keep mental skills and memory in tone.
Are certain kinds of “brain work” more effective t 9 others? Any brain exercise is better than being a mental couch potato. Watching the latest marathon on the History Channel may not be enough. L 10 a new language, volunteering, and other activities that strain your brain are better.
Passage 6
根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词。
