But she just said, “Do it 1 (you), dear.” I would get angry. I thought she was the 2 (lazy) mother in the world! For example, one day, I 3 (decide) to invite some friends to my home. But my bedroom was in a mess. My 4 (toy) were everywhere. The floor was dirty. I asked my mother to help me clean my bedroom. But she said 5 (serious), “It’s your bedroom. You should clean it on your own.” Because 6 my “lazy” mother, I had to clean my own bedroom. I also had to help my mother do some housework. Sometimes I was 7 (ask) to go to the dentist by myself. It was really hard 8 (do) something on my own, but I learned a lot. As time goes by, I understand my mother. Her “laziness” makes me diligent (勤奋的) and clever. Just as my mother always says, “A lady can’t be lazy, or she’ll be crazy. Work can make you sunny!” 9 a great mother! A good mother is worth a hundred teachers! Don’t you think 10 ? 二、选词填空。 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空, 使短文完整正确。(每个单词限用一次, 每空限填一个单词。) have   you  improve  easy  memory   effect   material   harm   increase   be You might have a friend or a classmate who remembers every single detail. How can they make it? In fact, there 1 plenty of things that you can do to improve your memory. First of all, interest is important when we remember things. We all agree that we don’t have difficulty 2 the things which we are interested in. You can make 3 have more interest by asking questions—the more, the better! Secondly, the researcher 4 found that information which is organized in groups can be 5 remembered so far. Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook reading to help group the information. Moreover, when you’re learning new 6 , you should spend the time thinking about the relationship between the present information and what you’ve already known instead of repeating without thinking. Then it helps you remember the materials. Last but not least, physical exercise is also important for memory because it 7 your heart rate and offers more oxygen (氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress which is very 8 to the memory. So the next time you’re learning new information, you can use the 9 methods above. I’m sure that you will 10 your memory and get more from it. 一、完形填空 Our brain stores all kinds of memories, but many students struggle to remember knowledge well. To start 1 , we need to tell short-term memory and long-term memory apart. Short-term memory is weak. Once you run 2 of energy or feel anxiety, your mind will wear 3 easily. When we learn many new words and passages, it’s easy to mix facts 4 without useful memory skills. There are many practical techniques to boost our memory. We can divide long passages 5 several small parts. Drawing graphs and outlines helps organize messy images in our heads. When you go 6 a text, tick key sentences to deepen your memory. In your 7 , happy moments like family picnics form a stable memory chain and make it simpler to recall information later. One-size-fits-all methods never suit everyone. Some people remember images quickly, while others rely on written outlines. Heavy pressure will break your stable memory and bring sadness. We should keep all these useful skills 8 mind and practice them daily. If you fill your brain with too much fuel of information at once, you will feel tired and your memory will fail. Small daily practice builds a steady memory system and stops you from being worn 9 . We often mix up similar knowledge without clear plans. If you divide information into groups, you won’t get confused. Every time you finish a lecture, spend minutes making simple graphs to record key points. All these small ways work together to make your memory effective. Never feel sad about weak memory. As long as you practice properly, you can store more things in your brain and recall them fully 10 needed. 1．A．with B．to C．for D．off 2．A．in B．out C．up D．away 3．A．out B．off C．down D．over 4．A．up B．in C．into D．through 5．A．into B．in C．to D．for 6．A．over B．through C．out D．across 7．A．mind B．view C．case D．chain 8．A．on B．at C．in D．for 9．A．out B．down C．off D．away 10．A．when B．what C．why D．where 二、阅读理解。 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. 1．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. 2．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. 3．What does the Number Challenge train? A．Long-term memory. B．Visual memory. C．Working memory and concentration. D．Storytelling ability. 4．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. 5．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. （2025·江苏无锡·中考真题）“Did you even hear my question, Lucho?” asked Mr Parra. The students at the front of the class turned round to watch the show. They were all smiling. Eva Villa had turned to watch too, but she wasn’t smiling. For a moment Eva looked straight into Lucho’s dark sad eyes and he could feel his face turning bright red. Then she turned back to the front and said something to the girl sitting next to her. The girl laughed. Mr Parra walked towards Lucho’s desk. Lucho liked Mr Parra, although he didn’t like history class. There was too much information to remember. “Maybe you could tell us what I have been talking about for the last twenty minutes, Lucho, while you were looking out of the window,” said Mr Parra. Lucho’s heart felt heavy. He had no idea what to say. He looked down at his history textbook. The page was about “The stolen past” and there was a photograph of a gold object that looked very old. Next, he looked quickly at the board and saw one of Mr Parra’s favourite things: a mind map. Every time they had to write about something for homework, Mr Parra asked them to make a mind map. The mind map had four empty circles joined by four lines to a bigger circle in the centre. In the centre circle Mr Parra had written the word “guaca”. Lucho tried to remember where he had heard the word before. They were all waiting. Lucho looked out of the window for a second and saw a little yellow bird. Yes, that was it! Guaca was a word that his grandmother had used, but what did it mean? The class was still waiting for him to speak. Suddenly he heard the little yellow bird singing in the tree outside and he opened his mouth. “We were talking about guaca, sir,” he answered. “And what is guaca, Lucho?” Mr Parra asked. “Guaca means ‘special object’. An antique object that was made by South American tribes, usually from gold, sir.” Mr Parra looked surprised. He hadn’t expected Lucho to know the answer. The girl next to Eva turned to look at Lucho again. The rest of Lucho’s classmates had lost interest. Lucho felt better, but Mr Parra hadn’t finished with him yet. “That’s correct, Lucho,” said Mr Parra. “And what is today’s homework?” Homework? Lucho hadn’t heard Mr Parra talk about homework. He looked at the mind map on the blackboard again. Outside, the bird had stopped singing. 1．What did Mr Parra draw on the blackboard? A． B． C． D． 2．When Lucho’s heart felt heavy, he probably felt a sense of ________. A．peace B．pity C．hope D．shame 3．What is the best title for this story? A．A Strict Teacher B．The Yellow Bird C．A Special Object D．The Mind Map ( 1 / 6 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Our Memory 课时2 Section A (2a-3d) 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 link v. 联系；连接 knowledge n. 知识 mix v.（使）混合 stable adj. 稳定的 detail n. 细节 develop v. 发展；开发 reduce v. 减少 stress n. 压力 confident adj. 有信心的 creative adj. 有创造力的 memory n. 记忆力 older adj. 年长的 句型 1.

The girl next to Eva turned to look at Lucho again. The rest of Lucho’s classmates had lost interest. Lucho felt better, but Mr Parra hadn’t finished with him yet. “That’s correct, Lucho,” said Mr Parra. “And what is today’s homework?” Homework? Lucho hadn’t heard Mr Parra talk about homework. He looked at the mind map on the blackboard again. Outside, the bird had stopped singing. 1．What did Mr Parra draw on the blackboard? A． B． C． D． 2．When Lucho’s heart felt heavy, he probably felt a sense of ________. A．peace B．pity C．hope D．shame 3．What is the best title for this story? A．A Strict Teacher B．The Yellow Bird C．A Special Object D．The Mind Map 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 【导语】本文讲述了在课堂上发生的一段小插曲：历史课上，Lucho因走神没听老师讲课，被老师提问过去二十分钟所讲的内容。Lucho起初不知如何回答，在看到黑板上的思维导图中心词“guaca”后，想起祖母曾用过这个词，结合历史课本上“被盗的过去”中关于古老金器的照片，他猜出“guaca”指的是由南美部落制作的特殊古物，通常由黄金制成，并给出了正确回答。然而，老师接着又问当天的作业是什么，Lucho因之前没听讲又看向了黑板上的思维导图。 1．细节理解题。根据“The mind map had four empty circles joined by four lines to a bigger circle in the centre.”可知，思维导图有四个空的圆圈，中间有一个更大的圆圈，由四条线连接在一起。与选项C相符。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“Maybe you could tell us what I have been talking about for the last twenty minutes, Lucho, while you were looking out of the window,”及“Lucho’s heart felt heavy. He had no idea what to say.”可知，Lucho在老师讲课的时候，一直看着窗外，因此老师提问的时候，他感到很羞愧。故选D。 3．最佳标题题。本文讲述了一个名叫Lucho的学生在历史课上走神被老师提问后，如何通过黑板上的思维导图找到关键词“guaca”，并结合历史课本上“被盗的过去”中关于古老金器的照片，他猜出“guaca”指的是由南美部落制作的特殊古物，从而成功化解课堂尴尬的经历。因此“思维导图”作为贯穿全文的核心线索和叙事工具，不仅是Lucho找到答案的路线图，也是故事结尾处悬念（关于家庭作业）的焦点。故选D。 ( 1 / 6 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
