To use this in study, try to make learning 6 (enjoy). Connect boring lists with funny pictures or stories. The 7 (happy) the brain feels, the better it stores.

Don’t wait three days. Go over your notes after class, then again the next day. This 7 (stop) the knowledge from slipping away. Third, use your senses.

Then it helps you remember information. Last but not least, physical exercise is also important for your memory 7 it increases your heart rate and 8 (offer) more oxygen (氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress which is very 9 (harm) to the memory. So the next time you’re learning new information, you can use the methods above. I’m sure that you 10 (improve) your memory and get more out of it. 【答案】 1．A 2．to improve 3．remembering 4．better 5．easily 6．between 7．because 8．offers 9．harmful 10．will improve 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍提升记忆力的几种实用方法。 1．句意：好的记忆力通常被看作与生俱来的能力，而差的记忆力则被认为无法改变。此处泛指“一种好的记忆力”，good是以辅音音素开头的单词，要用不定冠词a，位于句子开头，需大写，故填A。 2．句意：然而事实上，你可以做很多事情来改善你的记忆力。此处用不定式作目的状语，表示做很多事的目的是改善记忆力，括号所给动词improve要变为to improve，故填to improve。 3．句意：我们都认同，记住我们感兴趣的事物并不难。have difficulty (in) doing sth.意为“做某事有困难”，介词后接动名词，remember的动名词是remembering，故填remembering。 4．句意：你可以通过提问让自己产生更多兴趣——提问越多，效果越好！“the + 比较级，the + 比较级”为常用结构，意为“越……，越……”，good的比较级是better，故填better。 5．句意：此外，研究人员发现，到目前为止，分组整理的信息能够更容易被记住。此处修饰动词remembered需要用副词，easy的副词形式是easily，故填easily。 6．句意：而且，当你学习新资料时，你应该花时间思考现有信息和你已经知道内容之间的联系，而不是不假思索地重复。between...and...意为“在……和……两者之间”，此处用来连接present information与what you’ve already known，故填between。 7．句意：最后但同样重要的一点，体育锻炼对你的记忆力也很重要，因为它可以提高你的心率，为大脑提供更多氧气，这会让你的记忆力运转得更好。后面分句是在解释体育锻炼对记忆力重要的原因，because引导原因状语从句，故填because。 8．句意：最后但同样重要的一点，体育锻炼对你的记忆力也很重要，因为它可以提高你的心率，为大脑提供更多氧气，这会让你的记忆力运转得更好。连词and连接并列谓语，主语it是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，offer使用第三人称单数形式offers，故填offers。 9．句意：运动还可以减轻压力，压力对记忆非常有害。短语be harmful to意为“对……有害”，系动词is后面需要形容词作表语，harm的形容词形式是harmful，故填harmful。 10．句意：我确信你将会提高你的记忆力，从中收获更多。此处为宾语从句，描述将来会发生的结果，要用一般将来时，结构为“will + 动词原形”，故填will improve。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题13 语法填空 (期中复习） 一、人与社会---家乡变化 （一） In the past, it 1 (be) difficult to travel in Guizhou.

She also learns that it’s impolite to talk loudly in public. Her 10 (grow) in both language and confidence really inspires me as a student. （三） Last September, I entered junior high. Everything was new to me, and I couldn’t follow my teachers 1 (quick). I felt worried and didn’t know what 2 (do). My English teacher told me that learning a language needs good methods, and she taught me how to learn 3 (good). First, I made a study plan and spent half an hour 4 (practice) speaking English every morning. Second, I made some word cards and reviewed them in my free time. Little by little, my grades got 5 (high) and higher. Third, I used an app 6 (check) my pronunciation. It 7 (be) hard at first, but now I find it interesting. Practice 8 (make) perfect. Now I do much better than before. 9 (final), I want to thank my teacher, because I believe my dream of becoming a good learner 10 (come) true one day. （四） Li Ming is a good student. He is good at all subjects, but he is especially good at English. How does he learn English so 1 (good)? First, he is not afraid of 2 (make) mistakes. He says that mistakes are part of learning. When he makes a mistake, he tries to learn 3 it. Second, he listens to English songs and watches English movies every day. He thinks this is a good way 4 (improve) his listening and speaking skills. Third, he keeps a diary in English. He writes 5 (careful) and tries to use the new words he has learned. At first, it was difficult, but he kept 6 (write). Now he can write quite well. Fourth, he often asks his teacher and classmates for help 7 he meets difficulties. He thinks discussing with others is 8 useful way to learn. Li Ming says, “The more you use English, the 9 (good) you will learn it. Learning English is not hard if you find the right way. I believe that if you work hard, you 10 (make) progress every day.” 四、人与自我---方法与策略 （一） Emotions and memory are closely 1 (connect). When we feel 2 (excite) or happy, the brain releases (释放) chemicals that help fix memories. That’s why we clearly remember our 3 (win) moments or a surprising birthday party. 4 the other hand, strong fear can also burn events into memory—people often remember 5 (exact) where they were during big surprising news. To use this in study, try to make learning 6 (enjoy). Connect boring lists with funny pictures or stories. The 7 (happy) the brain feels, the better it stores. But too much stress does the 8 (oppose)—it harms memory. So balance is key. A good tip: before memorizing, take three deep 9 (breath) to relax. Then focus. You 10 (sure) improve step by step. （二） Do you ever walk into a room and forget 1 you went there for? Don’t worry—it is normal. Memory is not a single thing. It has different 2 (part). The first step to a better memory is to pay full attention. If your mind is somewhere else, the information never really 3 (enter) your brain. So when you study, put down your phone. Here are some easy 4 (way) to train your memory. First, 5 (active) make connections. Link a new word with a picture, a story or a person you know. The stranger the image, the 6 (easy) it is to remember. Second, review in time. Don’t wait three days. Go over your notes after class, then again the next day. This 7 (stop) the knowledge from slipping away. Third, use your senses. Smell, sound and touch can all become clues (线索). Listening to a poem while 8 (walk) in the park may help you recall it later. A healthy lifestyle also 9 (matter). Enough sleep, regular exercise and less junk food keep your brain sharp. If you keep trying, you 10 (find) that your “bad memory” is not bad at all—it just needed training. （三） Do you often forget new words just after learning them? Don’t worry. It is a common problem, but there are ways to solve it. The key is to move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory 1 (successful). First, don’t try to memorize every single word by 2 (read) it for 100 times. That is a low-efficiency way. Instead, you should use the word. For example, make a sentence with it or tell a story about it. This is called “active learning”. Second, 3 (group) words is a very helpful technique. Our brains like order. If you need to learn the words “apple, banana, carrot, orange, potato”, you can put them into two 4 (group): fruits and vegetables. It is much easier to remember them this way. Third, use your senses. When you learn the word “sweet”, you can not only read it but also imagine the taste of candy. 5 (listen) to English songs is also a good idea because music helps your brain relax and open up. Fourth, review at the right time. Don’t wait until the night before the exam. Review your notes 6 half an hour after class, then again the next day. This 7 (stop) you from forgetting. 8 (final), be confident. If you believe you can remember, your brain will work 9 (well). If you try these methods, you 10 (find) that your memory is not as bad as you thought. （四） You might have a friend or a classmate who remembers every single detail. How can they make it? 1 good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. However, in fact, there are plenty of things that you can do 2 (improve) your memory. First of all, interest is important when remembering things. We all agree that we don’t have difficulty 3 (remember) the things we are interested in. You can make yourself have more interest by asking questions—the more, the 4 (good)! Secondly, researchers have so far found that information which is organized in groups can be 5 (easy) remembered. Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook reading to help group the information. Moreover, when you’re learning new materials, you should spend the time thinking about the relationship 6 the present information and what you’ve already known instead of repeating without thinking. Then it helps you remember information. Last but not least, physical exercise is also important for your memory 7 it increases your heart rate and 8 (offer) more oxygen (氧气) to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress which is very 9 (harm) to the memory. So the next time you’re learning new information, you can use the methods above. I’m sure that you 10 (improve) your memory and get more out of it. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
