"I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old",she said."That's my earliest memory.I have remembered every day since then.I can't tell all the dates because I was too young to understand calendars,but I remember what I did that day,what the weather was like and so on.” Rebecca can also reexperience taste."When I was five years old,I ate my favorite food,Black Forest cake.The memory is so strong that every time I think of it, I can nearly taste it..” However,sometimes her memories prove (to be painful because they're not just events that she remembers."When I relive memories,the feelings return,too," Rebecca said."For example,I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents'house and hurting my left knee.Talking about it now,I feel painful in my left knee.” "Last Halloween,I got very scared because of my classmate's costume () At night,I have to sleep with the music and a soft light on,"she added."If it's too dark or quiet,my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep."

Scientists aren't exactly sure how it works,but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours. In one experiment（实验)，researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn.Then,they divided them into three groups.The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep,without telling these German speakers what they were doing.The sound was low so it didn't wake them up,and only the newly introduced words were used. Another group listened to the same words while they were awake.The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify (and translate the words later.This was true only for the words that were played while they slept.The third group listened to the words when they walked.The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group. The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activities all over the night.They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words. )16.When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment? A.Before they went for a walk. B.Before they went to bed. C.When they were asleep. D.When they were having dinner. )17.What does the underlined word "them"refer to in Paragraph 3? A.Dutch words. B.German speakers. C.Dutch speakers. D.German words. )18.What aspect of the experiment do the last two paragraphs tell us? A.The purpose. B.The reason. C.The influence. D.The result. )19.What can we learn from the passage? A.Scientists think people can't learn during sleeping hours. B.German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words. C.Slow-wave brain activities can help people have a good sleep. D.People in Group 3 didn't remember the words as well as those in Group 1. )20.Where is the passage most probably from? A.A history textbook. B.A science magazine. C.A travel newspaper. D.A modern novel. 单元测试卷Unit7第3页（共6页） C Memory is a wonderful and complex function of our brain.There are two main types of memory:short-term and long-term.Short-term memory is like a temporary storage.It can hold a small amount of information for a short time,such as a phone number you just heard.Long-term memory,on the other hand,can store information for a long time,even a lifetime.To improve memory,we can use several strategies. First,pay full attention to new information.If you don't focus,you won't remember it. Second,repeat the information.Repeating helps move it from short-term to long-term memory.Third,connect new information to something you already know.This makes it easier to remember.Also,getting enough sleep is crucial because sleep helps strengthen memories. ( )21.What are the two main types of memory? A.Good and bad. B.Big and small. C.Fast and slow. D.Short-term and long-term. ( )22.What is short-term memory like? A.A permanent storage. B.A temporary storage. C.Store a lot of information. D.None of the above. )23.How can we move information from short-term to long-term memory? A.By paying attention. B.By repeating. C.By connecting to known information. D.By sleeping. )24.Why is sleep important for memory? A.Because it helps strengthen memories. B.Because it makes us forget. C.Because it increases short-term memory. D.None of the above. )25.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The types of memory and ways to improve it. B.How to have a good sleep. C.What long-term memory is. D.None of the above. 第二节请阅读下面的短文，并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原 到原文中，使原文意思完整、连贯。（共5小题，每小题2分） A.It can even help sick people get better. B.Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. C.This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. D.The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin. E.In his study,two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. F.Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. 单元测试卷Unit7第4页（共6页） Is there a relation between music and language?According to recent studies,the answer is yes.26.Here,we look at two examples. A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.27.The people in the first group were musicians,while those in the second group had no musical training.The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. 28.When the violinists play with the group,they hear their own instrument and many others,too.But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds.In this way,musicians are able to hear certain sounds,even with lots of noise. Schlaug,a doctor,works with stroke (patients.Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names,addresses,or other information normally. However,they can still sing.Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped them to speak.Why does this work?Music seems to make different parts of the brain work,including the damaged（损坏的)parts..29. Music improves memories,listening skills,and our language abilities.30. Music is not only enjoyable,but it's also good for us in many other ways. 第三节信息匹配。（共5小题，每小题1.5分) 下面的材料A一F是围绕提升记忆力的不同技巧展开的，请根据五位学生的 不同记忆学习习惯，将其一一匹配。 A.It is difficult to memorize completely new knowledge.However,linking it with familiar things can make memorization simple. B.People are more likely to remember things well if they check their study regularly. Good daily review is a useful way to improve memory. C.Our brain needs rest to work well.Proper breaks during study can stop our brain from being tired and improve learning efficiency. D.Visual ways of learning are helpful for memory.Simple pictures can help students understand and remember more easily. E.Doing enough exercise every day can relax our brain and make our memory much better. F.Explaining knowledge to others is a good learning method.It helps people deepen their understanding and memory. )31.Tom always goes over what he has learned in the morning or at night.In this way,he can remember things for a long time. )32.Lily usually uses mind maps when she studies.The clear pictures help her remember knowledge better and faster. )33.Jack chooses to connect new knowledge with his life.He finds it easier to memorize something by linking it with familiar things. )34.Anna believes too long study is tiring.She rests for a short time while studying to make her brain work better. )35.Leo often shares and explains what he has learned to his classmates.He can keep information in mind longer in this way. 单元测试卷Unit7第5页（共6页） 第二部分非选择题(25分) Ⅲ.语法填空(10分) 阅读下面短文，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中所给词语的正确 形式填空。（共10小题，每小题1分) Nearly all students want to have a good memory so that they can study well.Yan Jiashuo,a young girl,is quite lucky.She 36.
