Unit 4 Our Memory 单元能力提升练2026-2027学年九年级上册人教版 第一部分　听力（略） 第二部分　阅读（共两节） 第一节　阅读选择 A Memory is like a treasure box. We store names, faces, events and knowledge in it every day. But sometimes we forget things easily. Why? Scientists say it has much to do with attention. When we don't focus on something carefully, the brain won't save it well. There are easy ways to train memory. First, repeat information several times. Second, connect new things with old knowledge. Third, get enough sleep, because the brain sorts（整理）and stores memories during sleep. （　）16. What does the passage compare memory to? A. A computer. B. A treasure box. C. A library card. （　）17. According to the passage, what mainly causes easy forgetting? A. Lack（缺乏）of attention. B. Too much sleep. C. Too many books. （　）18. How many ways to train memory are mentioned? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. B A 13-year-old girl called Emma has an unusual memory. She can remember almost every date and detail of things that happened years ago. Her teachers are amazed. However, having a “super memory” is not always easy. She remembers sad moments as clearly as happy ones, which sometimes makes her feel upset. Emma says she doesn't try hard to remember—things just stay in her mind automatically（自动地）. Her parents found this when she was only three, repeating whole conversations word for word. Doctors tested her and found her memory works like a camera. She advises others: “Don’t worry if you forget small things. Memory is a gift, not a burden（负担）when you learn to use it well.” （　）19. What is special about Emma? A. She never sleeps well. B. She has an unusually strong memory. C. She forgets everything quickly. （　）20. Why is her super memory sometimes not easy? A. Because it makes her tired of studying. B. Because sad moments are also kept clearly. C. Because doctors ask her to test often. （　）21. When did her parents first notice her ability? A. At age thirteen. B. At about age three. C. When she entered middle school. （　）22. What suggestion does Emma give? A. Never forget anything. B. Don't worry about forgetting small things. C. Try to be a camera-like person. C Can music help memory? A recent study shows listening to certain music while learning can improve later recall. Researchers divided students into two groups. Group A learned words while soft classical music played; Group B learned in silence. The next day, Group A recalled more words. But the type of music matters. Loud or lyric-heavy（歌词多的）music distracts（分散注意力）the brain, making memory worse. The best is gentle, wordless music. Also, singing what you need to remember turns information into rhythm（节奏）, which the brain loves. That’s why many people remember song lyrics easily but forget textbook pages. （　）23. Which group remembered more words the next day? A. Group A (with soft music). B. Group B (in silence). C. Both equally. （　）24. What kind of music is the best for memory? A. Loud pop songs. B. Gentle wordless music. C. Songs with many lyrics. （　）25. Why do people remember lyrics easily? A. Lyrics are short. B. Information turns into rhythm, which the brain likes. C. Music is louder than books. （　）26. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Music is harmful to study. B. Proper music can help improve memory. C. Silence is the best way to learn. D Our brain has two important jobs for memory: storing and retrieving（提取）. Storing means putting information in; retrieving means finding it again when needed. Forgetting usually happens not because storage fails, but because retrieval fails—we just can’t “find the key”. Good retrieval practice: test yourself often instead of re-reading. Each time you recall, the memory path gets stronger. This is called the testing effect（测试效应）. Stress and anxiety block retrieval. So before an exam, staying calm helps you “open the door” to memories. （　）27. Forgetting is usually caused by failure in ____. A. storing information B. retrieving information C. sleeping enough （　）28. What strengthens memory according to the testing effect? A. Re-reading notes many times. B. Recalling by self-testing. C. Listening to teachers again. （　）29. What blocks retrieval? A. Calm feelings. B. Stress and anxiety. C. Enough sleep. （　）30. The word “retrieving” in the passage means ____. A. putting information into the brain B. finding stored information again C. deleting useless data 第二节　阅读还原 How to remember what you read Do you finish a page and forget what it said? Here are useful tips. 31. ______ Reading in a quiet, comfortable place helps your brain focus, which is the first step of memory. 32. ______ Before reading, ask yourself: “What do I want to learn?” A clear goal makes the brain pick up key points. 33. ______ After each paragraph, pause and say in your own words what you just read. This is active recalling. 34. ______ Connect new ideas to things you already know. The more connections, the easier to remember. 35. ______ Review the material the next day and again after a week. Spaced review fights forgetting effectively. A. Set a clear purpose before reading. B. Choose a good reading environment. C. Always read as fast as possible. D. Summarize（总结）actively after reading each part. E. Link new knowledge to what you already know. F. Review at proper intervals（间隔）. 第三部分　语言运用 第一节　完形填空 Mr. Lee, a 70-year-old retired teacher, started losing his memory. His wife tried to help him 36____ things.

He can memorize a 50-digit number in under a minute. His secret? He turns numbers into vivid pictures. For example, “34” becomes “a cat (3 looks like ear, 4 like a flag)” and links them into a crazy story. He practises 30 minutes daily, not for prizes only, but because it builds confidence. “Memory is a muscle（肌肉）,” he says. “Train it, and it grows.” His advice to students: start small—memorize a shopping list or a poem, and turn boring data into funny images. 56.

First, connect each word with a picture or a short funny story—our brain remembers images far better than plain letters. Second, don’t cram（死记）; review a few words each day and repeat them often, because repetition builds memory paths. Third, use new words in your own sentences, so they gain real meaning. Finally, keep a good mood and get enough sleep, since a relaxed brain remembers much better. Try these and you’ll see progress soon! Yours, Li Hua 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
