A
Do you sometimes forget where you put your keys or what you ate for breakfast yesterday? Don't worry. It's normal to forget things sometimes. However, if you want to have a better memory, there are some simple ways to help you.
First, connect new information with something you already know. For example, if you meet a new person named Rose, you can imagine a rose flower. This makes it easier to remember the name.
Second, review what you have learned regularly. The more you review, the longer you can keep things in mind. Spend a few minutes each day going over what you studied. This helps move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory.
Third, get enough sleep and exercise. When you sleep, your brain organizes and stores memories. Exercise increases oxygen to your brain and helps it work better.
Fourth, don't feel too stressed. Stress can make it hard to remember things. Try to relax and stay positive.
Remember: Good memory doesn't come from talent alone—it comes from good habits and scientific methods.
( ) 16. What does the writer think about forgetting things?
A. It is always a serious problem. B. It is normal sometimes.
C. It only happens to old people. D. It cannot be improved.
( ) 17. How can we remember a new person's name according to the passage?
A. By writing it down many times.
B. By connecting it with something we know.
C. By asking the person to repeat it.
D. By forgetting other things first.
( ) 18. What happens when we sleep?
A. Our brain stops working.
B. Our brain organizes and stores memories.
C. We forget everything we learned.
D. Our memory becomes worse.
( ) 19. The underlined word "stress" in the passage probably means ______.
A. 兴奋 B. 压力 C. 快乐 D. 惊讶
( ) 20. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Forgetting things is a big problem.
B. Only talented people have good memory.

D. Sleep is the only way to improve memory.
B
My grandfather, Mr. Johnson, is 82 years old. He has a wonderful memory for things that happened a long time ago, but he often forgets what he did just a few minutes earlier. This is called short-term memory loss, and it's common among elderly people.
Last week, I visited him. He told me the same story about his childhood three times in one afternoon! Each time, he laughed as if he were telling it for the first time. "When I was your age," he said, "I could remember every word my teacher said in class. I never needed to take notes. But now..." He shook his head and smiled.
My grandmother told me that Grandfather still remembers the day they first met 60 years ago. He can describe exactly what she was wearing—a blue dress with white flowers—and what the weather was like. "It was a sunny spring day," he always says. "I knew she was the one the moment I saw her."
Scientists say that emotional memories are often stronger than ordinary ones. Things that make us happy, sad, or excited are easier to remember. That's why Grandfather can recall his first meeting with Grandmother so clearly, but can't remember what he had for breakfast.
I asked Grandfather if he felt sad about his memory problems. He smiled and said, "I may forget small things, but I never forget the important ones—my family, my love, and the happy times we shared."
( ) 21. What is the main problem with Grandfather's memory?
A. He forgets everything from his childhood.
B. He has short-term memory loss.
C. He cannot recognize his family members.
D. He never remembers any happy moments.
( ) 22. How many times did Grandfather tell the same story during the visit?
A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times.
( ) 23. Why does Grandfather remember his first meeting with Grandmother so clearly?
A. Because it happened recently. B. Because it was an emotional experience.
C. Because he wrote it down. D. Because Grandmother reminds him every day.
( ) 24. What was Grandmother wearing when they first met?
A. A red dress. B. A blue dress with white flowers.
C. A white dress. D. A yellow skirt.
( ) 25. What can we learn from Grandfather's words at the end of the passage?
A. He is very sad about his memory loss.
B. He values important things in life more than small details.
C. He wants to see a doctor.
D. He has given up trying to remember things.
C
Memory Fact What It Means
The average person can hold about 7 items in their short-term memory at once. Don't try to remember too many things at the same time. Break information into smaller groups.
Our brain forgets about 50% of new information within one hour if we don't review it. Review what you learn within the first hour. This helps move it to long-term memory.
Sleep plays a key role in memory consolidation(巩固). Get 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Your brain processes and stores memories while you sleep.
Stress can damage the part of the brain responsible for memory. Find ways to relax—listen to music, exercise, or talk to friends.
Physical exercise increases blood flow to the brain. Do at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. It helps your brain work better.
Linking new information with old knowledge makes it easier to remember. When you learn something new, ask yourself: "What does this remind me of?"
( ) 26. How many items can a person usually hold in short-term memory?
A. About 3. B. About 7. C. About 10. D. About 15.
( ) 27. What percentage of new information does our brain forget within one hour without review?
A. About 20%. B. About 30%. C. About 50%. D. About 70%.
( ) 28. According to the table, how can sleep help our memory?
A. It makes us dream more. B. It helps process and store memories.

七、阅读表达 (共5小题,满分10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成1-5题。
Many students ask: "Why do I forget what I learned so quickly?" The answer lies in how our brain works.
The Forgetting Curve(遗忘曲线)was discovered by a scientist named Hermann Ebbinghaus. He found that we forget about 50% of new information within one hour if we don't review it. After one day, we forget about 70%. After one week, we forget about 80%. This shows that reviewing is very important.
So how should we review? Here are some suggestions :
· Review within one hour after learning something new. This is the most important time.
· Review again the next day. This helps move information to long-term memory.
· Review once a week to keep the information fresh.
· Use different ways to review—read, write, speak, or even teach someone else.
Another useful method is spaced repetition(间隔重复). Instead of reviewing everything at once, review a little bit each day. For example, if you have 20 new words to learn, learn 5 each day and review yesterday's words too. This method is much more effective than cramming(突击学习)all at once.
Remember: Quality is more important than quantity. It's better to spend 10 minutes reviewing carefully than 30 minutes reviewing without focus.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
1. Who discovered the Forgetting Curve?
_________________________________________________________________
2. What percentage(比例) of new information do we forget within one hour without review?
__________________________________________________________________
3. What is "spaced repetition"?
__________________________________________________________________
4.把划线部分翻译成汉语。
___________________________________________________________________
5.拟定恰当的英文标题
___________________________________________________________________
