With the help of expert Ted Dorsey, we’ve got a list of tips to help you learn things faster. 1. Take handwritten notes. If you’re in a class, listen carefully to the lecture and write down the keywords and phrases you hear. Taking handwritten notes helps you remember information better the first time you learn it, so you don’t have to review it over and over again in the future. 2. Say it out loud. Oral repetition cuts down on learning and review time because the information is more ingrained (牢固的) in your brain the first time you learn it. If you’re studying from a book or your notes, read important keywords and sentences aloud to lock them into your memory. 3. Teach the information to others. As you study the information yourself, try to think about how you would teach it to a friend. What key facts and examples would you include? Research shows that studying information by teaching it to someone else helps you remember it better and recall it more easily. 4. Connect the information with something in your life. “Find a way to make it apply to you,” suggests Dorsey. For example, if you’re reading a book in an English class, try relating something that has happened in your life. “The more you personalize the information you're learning, the more likely it’s going to stick,” says Dorsey. 6．Why should you take handwritten notes? A．To keep your hands busy. B．To practise writing faster. C．To show them to the teacher. D．To remember things better. 7．Which tip suggests reading keywords and sentences aloud? A．Tip 1. B．Tip 2. C．Tip 3. D．Tip 4. 8．In Tip 3, what should you think about when studying? A．How to explain it to a friend. B．How to write it correctly. C．How to memorize it word by word. D．How to use it in an exam. 9．Which of the following is the best example of applying Tip 4? A．Copying a paragraph about gravity. B．Repeating historical dates aloud. C．Teaching an English grammar rule to a classmate. D．Linking the friendship in the text to your own feelings. 10．Who is the text most likely written for? A．Teachers. B．Parents. C．Students. D．Scientists. （3） 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. （4） Life always has some precious memories that can be caught by a camera. Here are three photos chosen from thousands of ones with the stories behind them. Click “” to give your favourite one a like before 30 July, 2026. The winner who receives the most likes will get a camera—Canon 4000D． My father was suffering from Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). He kept talking about buying my daughter Anna a new phone as a present! I told him she had already got one, but he would ask several times every day. So I took this photo in the winter holiday. Whenever he asked about it, I would show him the photo. (Bob) At first, Wang Ming didn’t take pride in his job. But every time he sent medicine to sick people, carried necessary things for the elderly upstairs, or brought a dinner to those working overtime (加班), he realized the importance of his job. Gradually, he fell in love with it. I took a photo during his work. See, there’s sunshine in his smile.  (Li Hao) It was really difficult for my wife Zoe to run her first marathon in a wheelchair, but she worked hard to get ready for it.

We would get out a pan, some corn and butter, and wait for the first popcorn to jump with an exciting sound. Then we would shake the pan over the stove to keep the popcorn from burning—shake, shake, shake, and pop, pop, pop—until the pan was full of delicious popcorn! Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some sugar on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa. There was always a lot of popcorn to share. The funny thing is that I have already forgotten the shows we watched, but I still remember the smell of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved, safe and happy. We didn’t have a big house, expensive food or much money, but our love for each other was everything. It’s the little moments like these that matter most. They are magical gifts and memories that last forever. So, remember to enjoy these moments and the love that comes with them. They are what truly make life beautiful. 21．What did the writer and his mom do together on cold winter nights? A．Read books. B．Made popcorn.

A．How to Make Perfect Popcorn B．Warm Memories of Family Love C．Cold Winter Nights at Home （6） Is there a simple and useful way to improve memory before exams? A recent study from the University of Roehampton in the UK offers a surprising answer: walking backward. This easy physical activity might help enhance short-term memory, which is important for students to think back to key knowledge during tests. The experiment included 114 volunteers. First, all of them watched a 5-minute video filled with different information—such as different objects, people’s actions, and the order of events. After watching, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first group walked 10 meters forward at a normal speed and then returned. The second group did the same but walked backward. The third group stood in one place without moving for the same time. Soon after, everyone took a memory test with 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The results showed that the backward-walking group got an average of two more correct answers than the other two groups. Researchers explained that walking backward could change our visual perspective (视角). This new way of seeing things helps the brain connect time and space better, making it easier to think back to past events. Besides improving memory, walking backward is also good for health. It burns more calories than walking forward and puts less stress on knees. 26．What does the underlined word “enhance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Reduce. B．Lose. C．Improve. 27．Why is short-term memory important for students before exams? A．Because it helps them learn new knowledge quickly. B．Because it improves their ability to solve difficult problems. C．Because it allows them to think back to key knowledge during tests. 28．Which group of volunteers kept moving during the experiment? A．The first and the second groups. B．Only the first group. C．Only the third group. 29．What can we infer from the experiment results? A．Walking forward has an influence on short-term memory. B．Changing visual perspective can help improve memory. C．Volunteers in the backward-walking group were cleverer. 30．How does walking backward help improve students’ short-term memory? A．By burning more calories and reducing knee stress. B．By helping volunteers answer more test questions correctly. C．By changing visual perspective to better connect time and space. （7） Do you ever notice how one song can make your day? That’s because music doesn’t just enter your ears, it also works on your brain. It can actually impact both your feelings and your memory. For example, a special gift may make you feel warm and always remember the day you got it. Music can lift your spirits in a great way. This is because music turns on a part of the brain called the amygdala, and it sends out special chemicals known as hormones (荷尔蒙). One powerful hormone is dopamine (多巴胺), which helps people feel happy. Music also encourages the brain to produce another kind of hormone called oxytocin (催产素), which helps people feel close to each other. Music also works on memory because when you listen to music, a memory area called the hippocampus becomes active. It helps store and recall information. Songs with fixed beats or repeated melodies make the hippocampus more active. As a result, the brain can group, repeat and remember information better. Some language courses use this idea. They teach words and sentences with catchy(朗朗上口的) songs. What music does to our brain is very useful. Many people play soft background music while working, because it helps them relax and keep their mind on work. Students can also use music to review words: say them to the beat, or make a new song with the word list. In hospitals, music is sometimes used to help patients with memory problems. Songs from childhood can bring back old memories and help them feel safe. Next time when you feel stressed out or forget what you have just learned, turn to music. Pick a song that matches your purpose, and let your brain reset. 31．According to the first paragraph, what can music influence? A．People’s eyesight and hearing.B．People’s feelings and memory. C．People’s hobbies and habits. 32．Which is the right process from music to feelings according to Paragraph 2? A．music→amygdala→hormones (dopamine)→feel happy B．music→amygdala→hormones (oxytocin)→feel happy C．music→hormones (dopamine)→amygdala→feel close 33．According to Paragraph 3, which kind of songs can help language learners remember words better? A．Songs with simple lyrics. B．Songs full of feelings. C．Songs with repeated melodies. 34．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．How music was created. B．Different kinds of music. C．Real-life uses of music. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Power of Music B．Music Around the World C．Music and Feelings （8） The day before Mother’s Day this year, the police received a call from an old woman because her husband George had gone missing from their home. He has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病). The police found George two blocks away from his home. He couldn’t tell the police where he lived. However, he was able to understand where he was going clearly. He was buying his wife Doris flowers for Mother’s Day falling on Sunday. He has done that since she gave birth to their first child. Three years ago, George was told he had the disease. Since then his illness has become worse and worse. His wife had to look after him. She was sad to see the disease take away her husband’s memories. The police told George’s family they would take him home straight—but George didn’t agree to go with them. “He was pretty adamant,” Officer James Smith told the reporter, “because he wasn’t going home until he got those flowers. He wanted to buy flowers for his wife, because the next day was Mother’s Day,” the officer added. So the police decided to help George achieve his goal. They stopped at a local supermarket and helped him choose a bunch (束) of beautiful roses. “We had to get those flowers. We didn’t have a choice,” the officer said. 36．Who called the police? A．George’s son. B．George’s wife. C．George’s daughter. 37．What did George want to buy for his wife as a Mother’s Day gift? A．Flowers. B．Chocolates. C．Cakes. 38．Why didn’t George agree to go home with the police at once? A．Because he didn’t know the way home. B．Because he hadn’t bought flowers for his wife yet. C．Because he wanted to look after his wife. 39．What does the underlined word “adamant” mean in the third paragraph? A．Serious. B．Determined. C．Sad. 40．What can we infer from the passage? A．George’s illness can be cured easily. B．George always misses his mum. C．George loves his wife very much. （9） Last summer, I needed a real vacation. City life made me feel bored, so I decided to hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains. My best friend, Leo, who is forgetful, joined me. “Remind me to pack my hiking boots (靴子) tomorrow,” he said the night before. I knew I had to remind him about several things. We arrived at the campsite under bright sunshine. The air smelled fresh, and everything felt peaceful. While putting up the tent, I realized Leo hadn’t packed his sleeping bag! “Someone must have moved it from my room,” he said quietly. Nothing ever seemed easy with Leo. I lent him my spare blanket (毯子)—anything was better than nothing on a cool mountain night. The next morning, we started our hike. The landscape was breathtaking, and everybody we passed smiled and said hello. We saw something amazing—a family of deer eating grass quietly. Nobody made a sound, respecting their space. It was magical. Later, as we cooked dinner, Leo finally remembered his boots...left by his front door! We laughed until our sides hurt. Everything about his forgetfulness suddenly seemed funny under the stars. That trip taught me something important. True relaxation doesn’t mean perfect planning. Anything unexpected can become a wonderful memory. 41．Why did the writer decide to go to the Blue Ridge Mountains? A．Because his friend Leo invited him. B．Because he was tired of city life. C．Because he wanted to see deer. 42．What was the first problem they faced during the trip? A．Leo didn’t bring his sleeping bag. B．The weather was too cold. C．Leo forgot his hiking boots. 43．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The tent. B．The sleeping bag. C．The blanket. 44．Where did Leo finally remember his hiking boots were? A．In his car. B．At the campsite. C．By his front door. 45．What did the writer learn from this vacation? A．Unexpected moments can create good memories. B．Perfect planning is necessary for vacations. C．Forgetful friends should not join trips. （10） Positive Outlook Boosts Middle-Aged Memory A 16-year study published in Aging & Mental Health (June 2025) found that a positive outlook protects middle-aged memory. Researchers tracked 10,760 adults over 50 in England. Those with higher well-being — happiness, confidence, and life purpose — scored better on memory tests. The link held even after accounting for depression symptoms. Scientists say mental well-being may strengthen neural pathways linked to memory retention. ______________________________ Yale University researchers (March 2025) discovered why we experience “baby amnesia”. Scanning babies aged 4 months to 2 years, they found memories form in the hippocampus but can’t be accessed later. As our brains grow, we lose the clues to get these memories back. Lead scientist Prof. Turk-Browne said early memories aren’t lost — we just can’t reach them. Specific clues like smells might help bring back these hidden early-life memories. Human Memory Is Reconstructive, Not an Exact Record MIT researchers (April 2026) proved human memory is reconstructive, not a perfect record. FMRI and AI showed each recall rewrites memories by merging old details with new information or emotions. In tests, 78% of subjects recalled false details; suggestive questions pushed error rates to 92%. This explains why eyewitness accounts often conflict. The study changes how we view memory reliability in courts, education, and daily life. 46．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A．SCIENCE. B．SPORTS. C．FASHION. D．CULTURE. 47．What did the 16-year study find about positive outlook? A．It can cure depression completely. B．It helps protect middle-aged memory. C．It changes people’s life purpose. D．It weakens neural pathways in the brain. 48．The best heading for the second piece of news would be ________. A．How to Keep Early Memories Forever B．The Mystery of “Baby Amnesia” Explained C．Yale’s New Study on Baby Growth D．Smells: The Best Memory Clues 49．What did MIT discover about human memory? A．It works like a perfect video record. B．Each recall changes memories by mixing old and new details. C．False memory rate will reach 92% without any questions. D．Eyewitness accounts are always completely reliable. 50．What do the three pieces of news have in common? A．They all talk about ways to improve memory skills. B．They all introduce new medical treatments for memory loss. C．They all present scientific research related to memory. D．They all explain how to protect brain neural pathways. （11） How to Boost Your Memory Would you like to improve your memory? Here are some useful techniques that can help you remember things better. 1. Pay Attention You might fail to remember all the details if you don’t pay attention. Try taking notes and writing down key points. It is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage. 2. Use It or Lose It The more you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember it. But you should not wear out your brain. Try studying for 40 minutes, and then take a break. You can also review information by discussing it with others or by teaching others. 3. Make Use of Senses Create images by using tables, graphs, and mind maps to organize information. You can also create a story with information and view it in your mind like a film. Listening to recorded information can be very effective. 4. Stay Healthy Sleep well. While you sleep, your brain organizes your memories. Bad sleep makes it harder for new information to enter your long-term memory. Eat well. Your brain needs food like an engine needs fuel. 5. Use Memory Techniques Try making up a song, using letters for words (like HOMES for the Great Lakes), or grouping information into categories. These techniques can help you remember things more easily. 51．According to the passage, what is easier to remember? A．Every word in a passage. B．A summary of a passage. C．The first sentence of a passage. D．The last sentence of a passage. 52．How long should you study before taking a break? A．20 minutes. B．30 minutes. C．40 minutes. D．60 minutes. 53．What does the underlined word “organizes” in Tip 4 probably mean? A．创造 B．整理 C．破坏 D．复制 54．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a memory technique? A．Making up a song. B．Using letters for words. C．Grouping information. D．Reading aloud. 55．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain how memory works. B．To give advice on how to improve memory. C．To describe different kinds of memory. D．To tell stories about people with good memory. （12） It was a busy Saturday as usual. Outside, my father and Mr. Patrick were preparing firewood. Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning. Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s eyes nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. We played with the boys and watched the kites flying higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights. The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart. Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying, “Go park, see duck.” “No,” I said. “I have lots of things to do.” My mom, who was visiting us, said, “It’s a warm day with beautiful sunshine. Do you remember the day we flew kites?” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.” Another ten years passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile appeared on his pale face, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t have the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what?” “The day we flew kites.” 56．Who advised the writer to watch the boys fly kites? A．The writer’s mother. B．Mr. Patrick. C．The writer’s father. D．Mrs. Patrick. 57．Mrs. Patrick was laughing in shame because she thought ________. A．she made the room messy B．her girls weren’t good at playing kites C．her husband would laugh at her D．she should do housework rather than play 58．What does the sentence “we were all beside ourselves” (Paragraph 3) most likely mean? A．We were angry with each other. B．We were hard on ourselves. C．We were very excited and happy. D．We were disappointed. 59．What’s the correct order of the events? ①The writer joined the boys in flying kites. ②The writer went to the park with her little girl. ③Some boys were flying kites on a busy Saturday. ④The writer visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A．①②③④ B．②③①④ C．③①②④ D．③②①④ 60．The writer tells the story of the youngest Patrick boy to show that ________. A．flying kites is fun B．childhood friendship lasts forever C．life is full of ups and downs D．people treasure happy memories （13） Not long ago, a photo of the football players in my college showed up on my phone as a “memory”, which was kept through the digital memory. I was surprised to see the photo at first and sweet memories flashed into my mind. In the photo, the players from the football team hugged together in excitement after they won the game. At that time, I took a photo of them with my phone. It recorded the friendship and the happiness. Then, I fell into the habit of taking photos of everything. More and more photos filled my phone so I almost forgot this photo. Thanks to the digital memory, I could enjoy the happy time again. People had to make an effort to record things in the past. But now we can do something like that easily through the digital memory. We put what we want to remember into our smartphones. Most of the photos that I have kept on my phone—and in the cloud now—bring happy memories back to me. However, not all the digital memories are happy. Some are sad. When I see the photos of my lost pet, I am worried. Because they make me recall something I want to forget. Usually, digital memories are sent to me non-stop and without any human-like feelings. That drives me crazy. It’s hard to say clearly when the digital memory spread rapidly. These digital memories, whether happy or sad, break into our lives. In my job as a reporter, I have spent the past five years taking different photos. They will always be there, whatever. 61．How did the writer feel when he saw the photo at first? A．Excited. B．Afraid. C．Bored. D．Surprised. 62．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)? A．The college. B．The photo taken by the writer. C．The football team. D．The game held long ago. 63．How do people record things easily now? A．By using smartphones. B．By valuing time. C．By creating memories with feelings. D．By developing good habits. 64．Why does the writer mention his lost pet? A．To hide some sadness in his life. B．To help people run away from the past. C．To show his dislike of some digital memories. D．To explain the digital memory is very easy to use. 65．Which of the following is RIGHT? A．The photos on phones record the past for people. B．The players in the football team liked taking photos. C．People today have to remember lots of happy times. D．The digital memory started when the writer became a reporter. （14） Train Your Brain: Fun Memory Exercises Do you want to have a sharper memory? Just like your muscles, your brain needs exercise to stay strong. Here are some fun and effective memory exercises you can try every day. The Tray Game Place about 10 small objects on a tray. Look at them for 30 seconds, then cover the tray. Write down as many objects as you can remember. Start with 10 objects, and increase the number each week. This exercise trains your visual memory and attention. The Story Method Take a list of words, such as “apple, dog, bicycle, cloud, river”. Create a story that connects all these words in order. For example: “The apple fell on the dog, who ran after the bicycle under the cloud and fell into the river.” The more unusual the story, the easier you will remember the list. This method uses your imagination to build strong links. The Number Challenge Memorize a random number, then try to say it backwards. Start with 5 digits, then move to 7, 9, and more. This trains your working memory and concentration. Name Game When you meet new people, repeat their names immediately and try to connect the name with a feature, such as “Anna with the red hat” or “Mike who loves basketball”. This helps you move the name from short-term to long-term memory. Do one of these exercises for just 5 minutes each day. Within a few weeks, you will notice that your memory becomes quicker and more reliable. 66．What is the purpose of the Tray Game? A．To improve hearing memory. B．To train visual memory and attention. C．To practice speaking skills. D．To increase reading speed. 67．According to the Story Method, why should the story be unusual? A．Because it is more interesting. B．Because it is easier to remember. C．Because it uses more imagination. D．Because it builds stronger links in memory. 68．What does the Number Challenge train? A．Long-term memory. B．Visual memory. C．Working memory and concentration. D．Storytelling ability. 69．In the Name Game, what should you do when meeting new people? A．Write down their names. B．Ask them to repeat their names. C．Repeat their names and connect with a feature. D．Forget their names on purpose. 70．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Memory cannot be improved. B．Only children need memory exercises. C．There are simple exercises to train your brain. D．The Story Method is the best way to remember. （15） How Does Memory Work? Scientists divide memory into three types: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory lasts for only a few seconds. It is what you see, hear, or feel at the very moment. For example, when you look at a flower, the image stays in your sensory memory for less than a second. Short-term memory can hold about 7 items for around 20 to 30 seconds. That’s why phone numbers are usually 7 digits. If you don’t repeat them, you’ll lose them quickly. To move information into long-term memory, you need to rehearse (复述) it or connect it with something meaningful. Long-term memory is like a huge library. It can store information for days, months, or even a lifetime. Unlike short-term memory, it has no known limit. However, sometimes we have trouble “finding” the information — that’s not forgetting, but failing to retrieve it. The good news is that you can train your memory. Practice, healthy eating, and enough sleep all help your brain store and retrieve information better. 71．How long does sensory memory usually last? A．A few seconds. B．About 30 seconds.

For example, you can easily remember the name of your classmate in Grade One. But you may forget where you put your smartphone a few minutes ago. The main reason is that you are not paying attention. In fact, we can’t focus on all the things around us. 21 Here are some useful methods to help improve your memory. Write the information down by hand. Do you find it hard to remember the information you typed on the computer or entered on your smartphone? There may be a reason for this. 22 One of the simplest ways to improve memory is to make lists by hand. 23 If your biggest memory problem is losing things often, there is an easy solution. Make sure everything has a regular place. 24 For example, you can keep your smartphone on the table next to the sofa. In this way, you will always know where to find it. Play word games and puzzles. If you want to learn how to remember things better, you can pick up a pencil and an eraser to do puzzles. Or you can use a puzzle app on your phone.

Repeating things in chunks is the best way to remember things for a short time. 28 The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in groups or chunks repeatedly and remembering them becomes much easier: 149 217 8919 318 483. ▲   29 To remember long lists, try inventing a story which includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words in this way. When tested later, they could remember about 90% of them. The test result was really amazing. ▲ Take physical exercise. Physical exercise is important for your memory, because it sends more oxygen (氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 30 As we know, too much pressure is very bad for the memory. A．Invent a story. B．Putting numbers in groups may help you remember them. C．Exercise also makes you less stressed. D．In fact, you can do a lot to improve your memory.

She invited 121 people to take part in it. They were between 18 and 86 years old. Sarah first asked them to listen to three musical clips (片段). 37 They needed to make a note whenever they heard the same clips at the concert. To her surprise, the older people were just as good at remembering the clips as the younger ones were. “ 38 When we listen to music, the amygdala (杏仁体) in our brain ‘lights up’. This makes our brain think of music as something important. Other parts of the brain also work to keep this ‘important’ information. So our memory of the music can last for a long time, ” Sarah says. 39 Doctors may use this to treat illnesses that hurt people’s memory. Music may help these people remember things. 40 As we all know, music has the power to make us excited or relaxed. Experts believe music can make people, even babies, more creative, smarter and happier. Some experts suggest playing slow music to help us pay attention when we study. It’s said that music can also improve listening skills and language abilities. A．In her eyes, the result is useful. B．Then, she told them to go to a concert. C．But music will probably stay with us forever. D．Besides this, music can help people in other ways.

He kept talking about buying my daughter Anna a new phone as a present! I told him she had already got one, but he would ask several times every day.”，Bob的父亲身患阿尔茨海默病记忆力衰退，总是遗忘Anna已经拥有手机这件事，才反复想要购入新手机，其余三个选项没有原文支撑。 18．根据第二张照片文字“every time he sent medicine to sick people, carried necessary things for the elderly upstairs, or brought a dinner to those working overtime”，王明日常会送药、搬运必需品、为加班人员送餐，文中不存在他拯救生命的相关描写，D项不属于王明做过的事。 19．根据第三段“It was really difficult for my wife Zoe to run her first marathon in a wheelchair, but she worked hard to get ready for it...Being disabled doesn’t stop her from moving forward and achieving her goals.”，Peter引以为傲的点是妻子克服重重困难坚持备战，顺利跑完马拉松达成自身目标。A单纯拿下冠军不是骄傲的核心缘由，C拍下照片不是自豪的起因，D妻子本身存在残疾，描述有误。 20．三张投稿对应的点赞量分别是Bob：890、Li Hao：1022、Peter：1379，Peter投稿的点赞数值最高，按照活动规则点赞榜首能够收获相机奖品，所以Peter拿下奖项的概率最大。 （5） 21．B 22．A 23．C 24．C 25．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者回忆儿时冬夜和家人制作爆米花的温馨往事，表达亲情才是生活最美的东西。 【详解】21．根据原文第一段“When I was a kid, my mom would let me help her make popcorn on cold winter nights.”直接提取答案。 22．根据原文第一段“We would get out a pan, some corn and butter”可知，制作爆米花需要的物品有平底锅（a pan）、玉米（some corn）和黄油（butter），对应序号①③④。 23．根据原文第三段“I felt so loved, safe and happy. We didn’t have a big house, expensive food or much money, but our love for each other was everything.”作者感到幸福和安全是源于家人之间的爱，而不是大房子或电视节目. 24．根据原文最后一段“It’s the little moments like these that matter most. They are magical gifts and memories that last forever.”可知，随后的“They”指代的是前文提到的“The little moments”（那些微小时刻），强调这些时刻是珍贵的礼物和记忆。 25．文章通过回忆童年与家人制作爆米花的温馨场景，表达了家庭之爱和平凡时刻的珍贵。选项B“家庭爱的温暖回忆”最能概括文章的中心思想。 （6） 26．C 27．C 28．A 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了英国罗汉普顿大学的一项研究表明，倒着走路能够改变人的视觉视角，帮助大脑更好联结时间与空间，从而提升短期记忆力，同时倒走还有益身体健康。 【详解】26．第一段指出研究发现：“This easy physical activity might help enhance short‑term memory”，这直接说明倒着走路有助于提升短期记忆力。 27．第一段说明原因：“which is important for students to think back to key knowledge during tests”，说明短期记忆对学生很重要，是因为它能帮助学生在考试中回想关键知识。 28．第二段说明实验分组：“The first group walked 10 meters forward…The second group did the same but walked backward. The third group stood in one place without moving”，因此第一组和第二组志愿者在实验过程中保持移动。 29．第三段说明实验结论：“walking backward could change our visual perspective. This new way of seeing things helps the brain connect time and space better, making it easier to think back to past events”，由此可推断改变视觉视角有助于改善记忆力。 30．第三段说明原理：“walking backward could change our visual perspective. This new way of seeing things helps the brain connect time and space better”，说明倒走通过改变视觉视角，更好地联结时间与空间，以此提升学生短期记忆。 （7） 31．B 32．A 33．C 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文介绍了音乐对大脑情绪和记忆的影响，解释了多巴胺和催产素的作用，以及音乐在学习与医疗中的实际用途。 【详解】31．根据第一段“It can actually impact both your feelings and your memory.”可知，音乐影响人的情绪和记忆。 32．根据第二段“music turns on a part of the brain called the amygdala, and it sends out special chemicals known as hormones. One powerful hormone is dopamine, which helps people feel happy.”可知，正确过程为音乐→杏仁核→激素（多巴胺）→感到快乐。 33．根据第三段“Songs with fixed beats or repeated melodies make the hippocampus more active.”可知，重复旋律的歌曲有助于语言学习者记住单词。 34．第四段列举了音乐在工作、学习和医疗中的实际应用，因此主旨是音乐的实用性。 35．全文围绕音乐对大脑的影响展开，涵盖情绪、记忆和实际用途，最佳标题为“The Power of Music”。 （8） 36．B 37．A 38．B 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了患有阿尔茨海默病的George在母亲节前夕走失后去买花送给妻子，警察帮助他完成心愿的感人故事。 【详解】36．文章第一段第一句“the police received a call from an old woman because her husband George had gone missing from their home”指出，一位老妇人（George的妻子）报了警。 37．文章第一段倒数第二句“He was buying his wife Doris flowers for Mother’s Day”指出，George想给妻子买花作为母亲节礼物。 38．文章第三段“because he wasn’t going home until he got those flowers”指出，George不同意跟警察回家，因为他还没买到花。 39．根据第三段“He was pretty adamant”以及“he wasn’t going home until he got those flowers”可知，George态度非常坚定，坚持买到鲜花后才回家，因此“adamant”意为“坚定的”。选项B“坚定的”与之相符。 40．文章讲述了George患病后仍记得在母亲节为妻子买花，且坚持要完成这件事，说明他深爱着自己的妻子。 （9） 41．B 42．A 43．B 44．C 45．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者和健忘的朋友Leo去蓝岭山脉徒步旅行的一次难忘经历以及这次旅行带给作者的感悟。 【详解】41．根据第一段中“City life made me feel bored, so I decided to hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains.”可知，城市生活让作者感到厌倦，因此他决定去蓝岭山脉徒步旅行。 42．根据第二段中“While putting up the tent, I realized Leo hadn’t packed his sleeping bag!”可知，两人搭帐篷的时候，作者发现Leo没有带上睡袋，这是旅途中遇到的第一个问题。 43．根据第二段中“While putting up the tent, I realized Leo hadn’t packed his sleeping bag! ‘Someone must have moved it from my room,’ he said quietly.”可知，Leo找不到睡袋，认为有人把睡袋从他的房间拿走了，此处代词it指代前面提到的sleeping bag。 44．根据第三段中“Later, as we cooked dinner, Leo finally remembered his boots…left by his front door!”可知，Leo最后想起来他的徒步靴被落在他家前门旁边了。 45．根据最后一段中“That trip taught me something important. True relaxation doesn’t mean perfect planning. Anything unexpected can become a wonderful memory.”可知，作者从这次假期明白了意想不到的时刻也可以造就美好的回忆。 （10） 46．A 47．B 48．B 49．B 50．C 【导语】本文包含了三则关于记忆的科学新闻：第一则指出积极的心态有助于保护中年人的记忆力；第二则解释了“婴儿期失忆”的原因，即早期记忆虽然形成但随后无法提取；第三则揭示了人类记忆是重构性的而非精确记录，每次回忆都会混合新旧信息。 【详解】46．根据文章内容，三则新闻分别涉及《Aging & Mental Health》期刊的研究、耶鲁大学的大脑扫描研究以及麻省理工学院（MIT）的FMRI和AI研究，均属于科学研究范畴，因此最可能出现在报纸的“科学（SCIENCE）”版块。 47．根据第一则新闻标题“Positive Outlook Boosts Middle-Aged Memory”及正文第一句“...found that a positive outlook protects middle-aged memory”可知，研究发现积极的心态有助于保护中年人的记忆力。 48．第二则新闻主要讲述耶鲁大学研究人员发现了婴儿期失忆（baby amnesia）的原因，即记忆形成但无法访问，并解释了机制。选项B“婴儿期失忆之谜被解开”最能概括该段主旨。选项A过于绝对，选项C太宽泛，选项D只是细节。 49．根据第三则新闻内容“each recall rewrites memories by merging old details with new information or emotions”可知，每次回忆都会通过合并旧细节与新信息或情绪来重写记忆。选项B与此描述一致。选项A、D与文意相反，选项C数据描述错误（92%是在暗示性问题下）。 50．三则新闻分别讨论了积极心态对中年记忆的影响、婴儿期失忆的原因以及人类记忆的重构特性，共同点在于它们都展示了与记忆相关的科学研究成果，故选C。其他选项均不能涵盖全部三则新闻的内容。 （11） 51．B 52．C 53．B 54．D 55．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了五种提高记忆力的实用技巧，包括集中注意力、复习与休息、利用感官、保持健康以及使用记忆技巧，旨在为学生提供改善记忆的建议。 【详解】51．Tip 1中提到：“It is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage.”，表明文章的摘要更容易被记住。 52．Tip 2中提到：“Try studying for 40 minutes, and then take a break.”，表明学习40分钟后应该休息。 53．Tip 4中提到：“While you sleep, your brain organizes your memories.”，结合常识及上下文，睡眠有助于大脑处理和归类信息，因此organizes在此处意为“整理”。 54．Tip 5中提到：“Try making up a song, using letters for words (like HOMES for the Great Lakes), or grouping information into categories. ”，A、B、C选项均有提及，而 D选项“大声朗读”在文中未作为记忆技巧被提及。 55．文章开头提到：“Would you like to improve your memory? Here are some useful techniques…”，随后列出了五条具体建议，因此文章的主要目的是提供关于如何提高记忆力的建议。 （12） 56．A 57．D 58．C 59．C 60．D 【导语】本文讲述作者和邻居们在周六放风筝的美好回忆，说明美好回忆值得珍惜，并能长久影响人们。 【详解】56．第二段指出“Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.”，这直接说明是作者的妈妈提议女孩们去看男孩放风筝。 57．第二段提到“On the way, we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.”，前文交代当时两家原本都在搞春季大扫除，由此表明Patrick夫人羞愧地笑，是因为她觉得自己本该做家务而不是出去玩。 58．第三段说明“At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.”，父母忘却家务责任，孩子忘却日常争吵，大家沉浸在放风筝的欢乐之中，由此推断这句话表达我们十分兴奋开心。 59．全文事件顺序为：第二段提到“Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites...”，对应③；第三段指出“We played with the boys and watched the kites flying higher and higher”，对应①；第六段讲到“Then I told my little...to miss.”，对应②；第七段讲到“I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill”，对应④，所以正确顺序为③①②④。 60．最后一段表明原文“Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t have the influence on you as it did on me.”，病重的Patrick男孩依旧牢牢记得放风筝的往事，这说明人们会格外珍视快乐的回忆。 （13） 61．D 62．B 63．A 64．C 65．A 【导语】本文主要写了数字记忆既有留存美好回忆的好处，也会带来伤感回忆的烦恼，早已融入人们的生活。 【详解】61．根据第一段中“I was surprised to see the photo at first and sweet memories flashed into my mind.”可知，作者最初看到照片时感到惊讶。 62．根据第二段中“At that time, I took a photo of them with my phone. It recorded the friendship and the happiness.”可知，当时作者用手机给他们拍了一张照片。这张照片记录下了他们的友谊以及那份快乐。“It”指代的是作者用手机拍摄的那张照片。 63．根据第三段中“But now we can do something like that easily through the digital memory. We put what we want to remember into our smartphones.”可知，现在人们能通过智能手机轻松记录事物。 64．根据第四段中“However, not all the digital memories are happy. Some are sad. When I see the photos of my lost pet, I am worried. Because they make me recall something I want to forget.”可知，作者提到失去的宠物是为了说明一些数字记忆会带来不愉快的回忆，从而表达他对这类数字记忆的不喜欢。 65．文章第三段指出“People had to make an effort to record things in the past. But now we can do something like that easily through the digital memory.”，说明手机上的照片为人们记录过去。 （14） 66．B 67．B 68．C 69．C 70．C 【导语】本文介绍四种简单有趣、日常可操作的记忆力训练小游戏，讲解每种练习的操作方式与锻炼作用，告诉人们坚持练习能够提升记忆力。 【详解】66．根据“The Tray Game”段落最后一句“This exercise trains your visual memory and attention.”可知，该游戏的目的是训练视觉记忆和注意力。 67．根据“The Story Method”段落中“The more unusual the story, the easier you will remember the list.”可知，故事不寻常是为了更容易记忆。 68．根据“The Number Challenge”段落最后一句“This trains your working memory and concentration.”可知，该挑战训练的是工作记忆和专注力。 69．根据“Name Game”段落中“When you meet new people, repeat their names immediately and try to connect the name with a feature”可知，遇到新人时应重复名字并联想特征。 70．通读全文可知，文章开头提出大脑需要锻炼，随后介绍了四种有趣的记忆练习方法，结尾说明每天练习几分钟即可改善记忆。因此文章主旨是介绍一些训练大脑的简单练习。 （15） 71．A 72．B 73．C 74．B 75．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍三种记忆类型以及锻炼、改善记忆力的方法。 【详解】71．根据第二段中“Sensory memory lasts for only a few seconds.”可知，感官记忆通常只持续几秒钟。 72．根据第三段中“Short‑term memory can hold about 7 items for around 20 to 30 seconds. That’s why phone numbers are usually 7 digits.”可知，短期记忆大约可以储存七条信息，所以电话号码一般设置成七位数字。 73．根据第三段中“To move information into long‑term memory, you need to rehearse it or connect it with something meaningful.”可知，想要把信息转为长期记忆，需要复述或是将它和有意义的事物建立联系。 74．根据第四段中“However, sometimes we have trouble “finding” the information — that’s not forgetting, but failing to retrieve it.”可知，此处表示大脑很难找出储存的信息，因此retrieve意为“检索”。 75．根据第一段介绍记忆分为三类、第二至四段讲解各类记忆特点，最后一段介绍训练记忆的办法，文章主要讲述记忆的三种分类和提升记忆的途径。 阅读还原 （1） 1．F 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述健忘的男孩Billy通过记笔记、列清单的方法，慢慢改善健忘的毛病，明白记忆力是可以后天习得的技能。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段“Billy is a lovely boy, but he is very forgetful.”可推知，此处承接上文，介绍他日常生活总忘事。故选F“He always forgets things in his daily life.”。 2．根据文章第2段“Billy went to the supermarket.
