Here are some useful tips from scientists. First, you should use 1 (memory) methods to help you remember things. For example, you can create 2 picture in your mind to remember a new word. You can also make up a story with the information you need 3 (remember). These methods work because our brains remember images and stories 4 (easy) than facts alone. Second, connect new information to something you 5 (know) already. This helps your brain store the new information more 6 (deep). Third, 7 you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember it. However, you should not study for too long without a break. Try 8 (study) for 40 minutes, and then take a 10-minute break. During the break, you can walk around or drink some water. Do not check 9 (you) phone—that is not a real break! Finally, 10 (get) enough sleep is crucial because your brain organizes memories while you rest. 【答案】 1．memory 2．a 3．to remember 4．more easily 5．know 6．deeply 7．the more 8．studying 9．your 10．getting 【导语】本文介绍了科学家给出的几种提升记忆力的实用方法，告诉我们如何更好地记住事物。 1．句意：首先，你应该运用记忆方法帮助你记忆东西。此处使用名词memory作定语修饰methods。 2．句意：例如，你可以在脑海中构建一幅画面来记住新单词。picture是可数名词单数，辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。 3．句意：你也可以利用你需要记住的信息编一个故事。此处不定式作后置定语，修饰前面的名词information，表示“需要去记住的信息”。 4．句意：这些方法有效，因为我们的大脑比起单纯的事实，更容易记住图像和故事。后面有than，要用副词比较级修饰动词 remember，easy的副词形式为easily，比较级是more easily。 5．句意：第二，把新信息和你已经知道的事物联系起来。此处陈述客观情况，用一般现在时，主语是you，谓语填动词原形know。 6．句意：这有助于你的大脑更深地储存新信息。此处用副词修饰动词store，deep的副词形式为deeply。 7．句意：第三，你复习所学知识越多，记住它的可能性就越大。固定句型the + 比较级，the + 比较级，表示“越……就越……”，后半句出现the more likely，因此前半句对应填入the more，构成完整句型结构。 8．句意：试着学习40分钟，然后休息10分钟。此处是建议尝试这种学习方式，try doing sth.“尝试做某事”，study的动名词形式是studying。 9．句意：不要查看你的手机 —— 那算不上真正的休息。此处用形容词性物主代词修饰名词phone，you的形容词性物主代词是your。 10．句意：最后，充足睡眠十分重要，因为在你休息时大脑整理记忆。动名词放在句首作主语，get的动名词是getting。 二、选词填空。 请从方框内选择适当的词，并根据需要用其正确形式填空，使文章语法正确、完整连贯。注意：每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余项。 care  while  we  achieve   by   ago   how   method   for   instruct  else  learn I passed my junior high school life happily. Looking back at the past three years, I had a really good life and it gave me a lot of wonderful memories. A year 1 , I found my schoolbag was missing. I couldn’t remember where I lost it. My schoolbag was very important because my keys and ID card were in it. Then my roommates helped me look 2 it everywhere. Finally, we found it in the dining hall. I also remembered my English teacher, Miss Zhang. She was a beautiful young woman. She spent most of her time teaching us 3 to be a better person. She was very strict about 4 study. What’s more, she always had a good 5 to make her class interesting. All of us tried our best to 6 English and meet her standard. She often taught us to play games 7 we were taking a break between two classes. I 8 better grades because of her. I also remembered my deskmate. She was a kind and 9 girl. She was good at English and playing the keyboard. She also helped me with my English. She usually gave me correct 10 . Thanks to them, I improved my English quickly at that time. My junior high school days were surely the best time in my life and I enjoyed every moment of it. 【答案】 1．ago 2．for 3．how 4．our 5．method 6．learn 7．while 8．achieved 9．caring 10．instructions 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者回忆初中生活的美好时光，包括室友帮忙找回丢失的书包、英语老师的悉心教导和同桌的帮助等经历。 1．句意：一年前，我发现我的书包不见了。此处需要一个副词，在句中作时间状语。因为“A year”后需要表示“以前”的时间副词，构成“一段时间+ago”的结构，所以选择ago。 2．句意：然后我的室友们帮助我到处寻找它。此处需要一个介词，与“look”构成固定搭配。因为“look for”意为“寻找”，是固定短语，所以选择for。 3．句意：她花费大部分时间教我们如何成为一个更好的人。此处需要一个疑问副词，引导“to be a better person”作宾语。因为“how to do sth.”表示“如何做某事”，是常用结构，所以选择how。 4．句意：她对我们的学习非常严格。此处需要一个代词，在句中作定语修饰“study”。因为“about”后需要接名词或代词，表示“关于……”，且根据上下文指“我们的”学习，所以用we的形容词性物主代词形式our。 5．句意：而且，她总是有好的方法让她的课有趣。此处需要一个名词，在句中作宾语。因为“a good”后接名词，且“to make her class interesting”表示目的，需要表示“方法”的名词，所以选择method。 6．句意：我们都尽力学习英语并达到她的标准。此处需要一个动词，在句中作谓语。因为“to”后接动词原形，且根据语境“英语”需要“学习”的动作，所以选择learn。 7．句意：她经常教我们在两节课之间休息时玩游戏。此处需要一个连词，引导时间状语从句。因为“we were taking a break”是一个时间状语从句，需要表示“当……时候”的连词，所以选择while。 8．句意：因为她，我取得了更好的成绩。此处需要一个动词，在句中作谓语。因为主语“I”后需要谓语动词，且“better grades”是宾语，需要表示“取得”的动词，时态是一般过去时，所以用achieve的过去式。 9．句意：她是一个善良且关心人的女孩。此处需要一个形容词，与“kind”并列作表语。因为“and”连接两个并列形容词，描述同桌的品质，且根据上下文她乐于助人，所以用care的形容词形式caring。 10．句意：她通常给我正确的指导。此处需要一个名词，在句中作宾语。因为“correct”后接名词，且根据上下文她帮助我英语，所以需要表示“指导”的名词，空前无限定词，所以用instruct的名词形式instructions。 一、完形填空 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Spaced Repetition—A Breakthrough in Scientific Memory Methods For decades, students have stayed up late cramming for exams, only to forget most of what they learned within days. But what if there was a better way? In 2025, a landmark study published in “Nature Neuroscience” confirmed 1 spaced repetition is one of the most effective ways to move information from short-term to long-term memory. Spaced repetition works by reviewing information at 2 increasing intervals. Instead of studying the same material many times in one day, you review it after one day, then three days, then a week, then two weeks. Each time you successfully recall the information, the interval 3 . Dr. Robert Bjork, a leading memory researcher at UCLA, explains 4 spaced repetition works so well. “Each time you retrieve a memory, you strengthen the neural pathways connected to it. The act of 5 itself is what makes the memory stronger.” Many students think that re-reading textbooks is the best way to study. 6 research shows that re-reading is actually one of the least effective methods. It gives learners a false sense of 7 because the material feels familiar. But familiarity is not the same as being able to recall information when you need it. 8 is important for learners to understand that forgetting is a natural part of the learning process. In fact, a certain amount of forgetting can be helpful. When you struggle to recall something, the brain works harder to find that information, which makes the memory stronger for the next time. To use spaced repetition effectively, students should create a study schedule and stick to it. They should also test 9 regularly instead of just re-reading notes. Digital tools like Anki and Quizlet have built-in spaced repetition algorithms that make 10 easier than ever. The key takeaway is simple: don’t cram. Instead, study a little bit every day and review what you’ve learned at increasing intervals. Your brain will thank you, and you’ll remember what you’ve learned for years to come. 1．A．what B．that C．if D．whether 2．A．slowly B．gradually C．quickly D．suddenly 3．A．shortens B．stays C．increases D．disappears 4．A．why B．when C．where D．how 5．A．reading B．writing C．recalling D．sleeping 6．A．Because B．Although C．So D．But 7．A．security B．confidence C．progress D．achievement 8．A．It B．This C．That D．What 9．A．themselves B．ourselves C．itself D．yourselves 10．A．it B．this C．them D．that 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．C 6．D 7．B 8．A 9．A 10．A 【导语】本文介绍了间隔重复这一科学记忆方法，解释其原理及优势，对比重读法的不足，建议学生制定计划并利用工具高效学习。 1．句意：2025年，一项发表在《自然・神经科学》的里程碑研究证实，间隔重复法是将短期记忆转化为长期记忆最有效的方式之一。 根据“confirmed”后接确定性事实陈述且从句语意完整、不缺成分，可知用that引导宾语从句，无实义。if/whether“是否”表不确定，what“什么”需在从句中作成分，均不符。 2．句意：间隔重复通过在逐渐增加的间隔复习信息来起作用。 根据“increasing intervals”及后文天数递增逻辑“1天→3天→一周→两周”，gradually“逐渐地”契合这个变化过程。slowly“缓慢地”，quickly“快速地”，suddenly“突然地”，均不符合循序渐进的过程。 3．句意：每次成功回忆信息，间隔就会增加。 根据前文“increasing intervals”及记忆规律，回忆成功则间隔变长，increases“增加”符合这套记忆规则。shortens“缩短”，stays“保持”，disappears“消失”，不符合间隔重复原理。 4．句意：加州大学洛杉矶分校顶尖记忆研究员Robert Bjork博士解释了为什么间隔重复效果这么好。 根据后文解释原理（加强神经通路），可知是解释原因，因此用why引导宾语从句表原因。when“何时”、where“何地”不符合语境，how“如何”侧重过程而非效果好的原因。 5．句意：回忆的行为本身使记忆更强。 根据前文“retrieve a memory”，可知指回忆行为，对应本空recalling“回忆”。reading“阅读”，writing“书写”，sleeping“睡觉”均不符合“提取记忆”的上下文逻辑。 6．句意：但研究表明重读实际上是效果最差的方法之一。 根据前后观点相反（学生认为最好vs研究证明最差），可知表转折，But“但是”表转折逻辑。Because“因为”表原因，So“所以”表结果，Although“虽然”需搭配主句转折，均不符。 7．句意：它给学习者一种错误的自信感，因为材料感觉很熟悉。 根据“feels familiar”及学习心理，熟悉感带来虚假自信，confidence“信心”贴合语境。security“安全”，progress“进步”，achievement“成就”，不能对应“自以为学习变好”的错觉。 8．句意：学习者理解遗忘是学习过程的自然部分很重要。 根据“It is+adj+for sb. to do”固定句型，可知用It作形式主语。This/That/What均不符合该语法结构。 9．句意：他们也应定期测试自己而不是只重读笔记。 根据主语“They”，可知对应反身代词themselves“他们自己”。ourselves“我们自己”，itself“它自己”，yourselves“你们自己”，人称与主语不一致。 10．句意：Anki、Quizlet这类软件内置了间隔重复算法，让这件事变得前所未有的简单。 根据“make it+adj”结构指代前文提到的学习过程，可知用it。this/that/them不符合“make it easier”的习惯搭配。 二、阅读理解。 These days, making “memory books” is becoming a popular trend among Chinese teenagers. Many teens make handwritten books to record their daily life, friendship and family moments. A 14-year-old girl named Li Meng from Shanghai made a 30-page memory book for her best friend’s birthday. The book has photos of them going to the amusement park, eating ice cream on the way home, and studying for exams together. There are also little doodles (涂鸦) and notes next to each photo. “We have been friends for 6 years. I spent two months making this book to record all our happy moments together. When my friend saw it, she cried and said it was the best birthday gift she had ever received,” Li said. Many teens also make memory books for their families. 15-year-old Zhang Wei from Chengdu made a memory book for his parents on their 20th wedding anniversary. The book has old family photos, his parents’ love letters when they were young, and little notes about every warm moment of the family. Some people say that in the digital age, most people keep their memories on phones and computers, but handwritten memory books have a special warmth. They carry not just photos and words, but also the love and care of the person who makes them. “When you open a memory book many years later, you can feel the same warmth as when the moments happened,” a teenage blogger wrote on her Weibo. 1．What is the popular trend among Chinese teenagers these days? A．Collecting old photos. B．Making handwritten memory books. C．Travelling with friends. D．Writing blogs about daily life. 2．Who did Li Meng make the memory book for? A．Her mother. B．Her teacher. C．Her best friend. D．Her cousin. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Memory books are only popular with girls. B．Zhang Wei’s parents didn’t like his gift. C．Handwritten memory books carry special warmth. D．People don’t keep memories on phones anymore. 4．What can we infer about memory books from the last paragraph? A．They are less popular than digital photos. B．They can help people relive warm old moments. C．They are very expensive to make. D．They only have photos inside. 5．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A science fiction novel. B．A teen lifestyle magazine. C．A history textbook. D．A weather report. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了在中国青少年中流行的制作“记忆书”的趋势，通过两个具体案例展示了这种手写书籍如何记录友谊和亲情，并强调了其相比数字存储所特有的温暖和情感价值。 1．第一段明确指出：“These days, making ‘memory books’ is becoming a popular trend among Chinese teenagers”，说明当前中国青少年的流行趋势是制作手写的记忆书。 2．第二段明确指出：“A 14-year-old girl named Li Meng from Shanghai made a 30-page memory book for her best friend’s birthday”，说明李萌为她最好的朋友制作了记忆书。 3．最后一段明确指出：“handwritten memory books have a special warmth. They carry not just photos and words, but also the love and care...”，说明手写记忆书承载着特殊的温暖；A项错误，文中也提到了男生张伟；B项错误，文中未提及父母不喜欢；D项错误，文中最后一段说“most people keep their memories on phones”，并非不再使用手机。 4．最后一段引用博主的话：“When you open a memory book many years later, you can feel the same warmth as when the moments happened”，说明记忆书能帮助人们重温那些温暖的旧时光。 5．全文话题围绕青少年的生活潮流、手工制作和情感表达展开，语言风格轻松且贴近青少年生活，因此最可能出自一本青少年生活方式杂志。 （2026·天津·中考真题）My mother was strict with me when I was young. She made lots of family rules to let me know what to do and not to do. As I grew older, I began to realise how wise my mother was. She kept telling me different ways to solve my daily problems. At the same time, she would always stand behind me in order to offer help to me when necessary. For me, a home filled with love was built by her. I could grow up happily to explore (探索) the unknown, learn from mistakes and become truly mature (成熟的). When I failed my first job interview, I made a phone call to my mother. She answered it and stayed silent to let me cry aloud first. After I calmed down, she said, “Tom, I’m always with you. Just face the problem because it’s no use crying.” She was so encouraging (令人鼓舞的) that I became confident to be successful next time. At that moment, there was only my dear mother and me. Forever. My mother lets me know what a mother is. A mother is the person who makes the world a better place to live in and spends her lifetime helping me grow up. 1．What did Tom’s mother make when he was young? A．Travel lists. B．Family rules. C．Model planes. D．Delicious cakes. 2．Why would Tom’s mother always stand behind him? A．To give him help. B．To buy him gifts. C．To tell jokes. D．To watch matches. 3．What did Tom do when he failed his first job interview? A．He had a meal. B．He met his friends. C．He called his mother.

A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 5．What could be the best title of the passage? A．Promises: When to Be Mature B．Advice: Where a Family Lives C．Difficulty: How to Grow Up D．Thanks: What a Mother Is 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述作者回忆年少时母亲对自己严格立家规，长大后体会到母亲的睿智与支持，求职失败时母亲给予鼓励，抒发对母亲的感恩，理解了母爱的含义。 1．第一段指出原文信息：“She made lots of family rules to let me know what to do and not to do.”，这直接说明Tom小时候母亲制定了许多家规。 2．第二段说明原文信息：“At the same time, she would always stand behind me in order to offer help to me when necessary.”，这直接说明母亲一直支持他是为了给他提供帮助。 3．第三段说明原文信息：“When I failed my first job interview, I made a phone call to my mother.”，这直接说明Tom面试失败后给妈妈打了电话。 4．通读全文，第一段提到母亲strict（严格的），第二段提到母亲wise（睿智的），第三段提到母亲encouraging（鼓舞人心的）；文中没有出现honest（诚实的）相关描述，因此①③④符合。 5．最后一段点明主旨：“My mother lets me know what a mother is.”，全文围绕母亲带给自己的成长与感动、表达对母亲的感恩展开，D选项最贴合文章中心。 $Unit 4 Our Memory 课时6 Section B (3a-3c) 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 stress v. 使焦虑；使紧张 memorize v. 记住；熟记 outline n. 提纲；概要 link v. 连接；联系 section n. 部分；段落 recall v. 回忆起；记起 confidence n. 信心 panic v. 惊慌；慌张 success n. 成功 句型 1.

As I grew older, I began to realise how wise my mother was. She kept telling me different ways to solve my daily problems. At the same time, she would always stand behind me in order to offer help to me when necessary. For me, a home filled with love was built by her. I could grow up happily to explore (探索) the unknown, learn from mistakes and become truly mature (成熟的). When I failed my first job interview, I made a phone call to my mother. She answered it and stayed silent to let me cry aloud first. After I calmed down, she said, “Tom, I’m always with you. Just face the problem because it’s no use crying.” She was so encouraging (令人鼓舞的) that I became confident to be successful next time. At that moment, there was only my dear mother and me. Forever. My mother lets me know what a mother is. A mother is the person who makes the world a better place to live in and spends her lifetime helping me grow up. 1．What did Tom’s mother make when he was young? A．Travel lists. B．Family rules.
