He would study hard the night before a test, but by the next morning, he had 26 most of the words. His teacher, Ms Wang, noticed his 27 and decided to help him. She had read about memory techniques and wanted to share 28 with her student. Ms Wang told Li Ming about the memory palace technique. "If you 29 this method, your memory will improve greatly," she said. The memory palace is a method that has been used for thousands of years. You imagine a 30 place, like your house, and then put the things you want to remember in different 31 of that place. The key is to create 32 mental images that connect the information to the locations. Li Ming was sceptical at first. However, he 33 to try it. He imagined walking through his apartment. At the door, he placed the word "abandon"—he imagined a baby left at the door. In the living room, he put "brilliant"—a bright lamp shining on the sofa. In the kitchen, he placed "courage"—a lion sitting by the stove. Each image was vivid and unusual, which made it easier for his brain to remember. To his surprise, when Li Ming walked through his memory palace the next day, he could remember all 30 words perfectly. He continued to 34 this technique for a month. His English test score rose from 65 to 92. "If I don't use this method, I will 35 be struggling with vocabulary," Li Ming said with a smile. "Unless you try something new, you will never know what works for you." 26. A. remembered B. forgotten C. kept D. learned 27. A. problem B. success C. progress D. habit 28.

B 改编自2025年《神经科学前沿》睡眠与记忆研究） Have you ever stayed up late studying, only to forget everything the next day? You are not alone. Scientists have discovered that sleep plays a key role in how our brains save memories. Without enough rest, your brain simply cannot store new information properly. When you learn something new, your brain first keeps it in a temporary（暂时的） area. Think of it like a notepad（记事本）—it can only hold a little information at a time. If you want to remember it for a long time, your brain must move it to a "hard drive" for permanent（永久的） storage. This process mainly happens while you sleep. During deep sleep, your brain replays the day's events and strengthens the connections between brain cells（脑细胞）. The more strongly these connections are built, the easier it is to recall（回忆） the memory later. That is why a good night's sleep can help you remember facts better than hours of last-minute cramming（临时死记硬背）. A 2025 study followed 200 high school students over three months. Half of them were asked to get at least eight hours of sleep each night, while the other half followed their usual sleep habits. The results were clear: the well-rested group scored 25% higher on memory tests and reported feeling less stressed during exams. However, many students believe that sacrificing（牺牲） sleep for extra study time is a good idea. In fact, this habit does more harm than good. If you don't get enough sleep, your brain cannot move information into long-term storage. As a result, everything you studied may simply disappear from your mind by morning. So what should you do? First, try to go to bed at the same time every night. Second, avoid using your phone for at least an hour before bedtime—the blue light from screens can disrupt（扰乱） your sleep cycle. Finally, if you feel tired during the day, a short 20-minute nap（小睡） can help refresh your brain. Remember: studying smart is better than studying long. If you take care of your sleep, your memory will take care of the rest. 41. What happens to new information if you don\'t get enough sleep? A. It moves to permanent storage immediately. B. It stays in a temporary area and may be lost. C. It becomes stronger and easier to recall. D. It is stored in the brain\'s "hard drive". 42. What does the underlined word "recall" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Forget. B. Remember. C. Write. D. Learn. 43. How much higher did the well-rested group score on memory tests? A. 15%. B. 20%. C. 25%. D. 30%. 44. What does the writer say about staying up late to study? A. It is a good way to improve grades. B. It does more harm than good. C. It helps the brain store information. D. It is better than sleeping early. 45. What can we infer from the passage? A. Phones should be used more often before bedtime. B. Naps are useless for refreshing the brain. C. Getting enough sleep helps both memory and stress. D. Studying long hours is always the best way to learn. C （改编自2025-2026年数字健忘症研究） Do you sometimes walk into a room and forget why you went there? Or perhaps you can no longer remember your best friend's phone number? If so, you are not alone. Researchers are increasingly concerned about a phenomenon they call "digital amnesia"—the loss of memory caused by our reliance on smartphones and other digital devices. A study by Singapore Management University found that frequently checking your phone fragments your attention and makes it harder for your brain to consolidate memories. Every time you unlock your phone to check a notification, your brain has to switch tasks. This constant switching reduces your ability to concentrate deeply and weakens your memory over time. The study revealed a worrying statistic: if a person unlocks their phone more than 110 times a day, they are at "high risk" of digital addiction and memory problems. Another problem is that we are outsourcing our memory to our devices. Instead of memorising phone numbers, addresses, or birthdays, we store them in our phones. If you always rely on your phone to remember things, your brain gets less practice, and your memory muscles, so to speak, become weaker. Neuroscientist Michel Tardieu compares this to a vicious cycle: "Using the phone activates the same brain circuits as addictive drugs. Each notification triggers dopamine, creating a cycle of dependence that worsens the problem." However, there are steps you can take to protect your memory. Unless you set limits on your phone use, digital amnesia will continue to get worse. Experts suggest practising "cognitive hygiene"—training your memory five or six times a day without using your phone. For example, try to remember a phone number or an address before looking it up. If you turn off unnecessary notifications and put your phone away during meals and before bedtime, you will give your brain the quiet time it needs to process and store memories. Remember: if you don't use your memory, you will lose it. But if you exercise it regularly, your memory can remain strong throughout your life. 46. What is "digital amnesia" according to the passage? A. A disease that destroys brain cells. B. Memory loss caused by relying on digital devices. C. Forgetting to bring your phone. D. A type of smartphone brand. 47. What does the word "fragments" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Improves. B. Breaks into pieces. C. Protects. D. Collects together. 48. Why does the author mention "110 times" in Paragraph 2? A. To show how popular smartphones are. B. To suggest people should use phones more. C. To give a warning level for digital addiction. D. To compare different phone brands. 49. What does Michel Tardieu compare smartphone use to? A. Physical exercise. B. Reading books. C. Addictive drugs. D. Healthy eating. 50. What is the main message of the passage? A. Smartphones are completely bad for us. B. We should stop using all digital devices. C. We need to use our memory actively to keep it strong. D. Digital amnesia cannot be prevented. 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) The human brain is an amazing organ（器官）. It can store a huge amount of information—from the name of your first teacher to the taste of your favourite food. 51 Scientists have discovered that the brain does not store memories like a computer stores files. Instead, memories are formed through connections between neurons. If you learn something new, your brain creates new connections. 52 This is why repetition is so important for learning. If you review information regularly, the connections become stronger. 53 The hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped structure deep in the brain, plays a key role in this process. It acts like a bridge, moving new memories from short-term storage to long-term storage. 54 During sleep, the brain replays the day's experiences and strengthens the neural connections. If you don't get enough sleep, this process is disrupted and memories may be lost. So, if you want to remember things better, here are some tips: review new information within 24 hours, connect new knowledge to things you already know, and make sure you get enough sleep every night. 55 A. But how exactly does this incredible process work? B. If you don't review, these connections will weaken over time. C. Without good sleep, even the best memory techniques will not work well. D. Sleep is another crucial factor in memory formation. E. However, some memories are stronger than others. F. The stronger the connections, the easier it is to recall the memory. 第三节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 下面的材料A-F分别介绍了六种改善记忆的方法。请根据五位同学的需求，选择最适合他们的方法。 (56)___________ Tom often forgets people's names right after meeting them. (57)___________ Linda wants to memorise a list of 20 English words for tomorrow's test. (58)___________ David can't remember the order of planets in the solar system. (59)___________ Jane needs to prepare for a history exam with many dates and events. (60)___________ Mike finds it hard to concentrate because his phone keeps sending notifications. A. Try the memory palace technique—imagine a familiar place and put each person's name at a specific location. If you walk through this palace in your mind, you will remember all the names. B. Use spaced repetition—review the words after 1 hour, then 2 hours, then 3 hours. If you follow this schedule, you will remember them much longer. C. Create a mnemonic sentence—use the first letter of each planet to make a funny sentence. For example, "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles" stands for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. D. Draw a mind map—put the main topic in the centre and connect related events to it. If you use different colours for different time periods, it will be easier to remember. E. Turn off notifications—unless you reduce distractions, you will not be able to focus. If you put your phone in another room while studying, your concentration will improve. F. Take more notes—write down everything the teacher says. If you write more, you will remember more. 五、语篇填词 (本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) Memory is like a (61)m________ that needs regular exercise. If you don't use your memory, it will become weaker over time. One of the best ways to (62)i________ your memory is through regular practice. For example, if you try to remember new words every day, your brain will form stronger (63)c________ between neurons. Another important factor is sleep. Unless you get (64)e________ sleep, your brain won't be able to move information from short-term to long-term memory. Finally, if you want to remember something well, you should (65)r________ it within 24 hours of learning it. 六、语法填空 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 （主题：记忆技巧与睡眠对记忆的影响） If you want to remember things better, there are several strategies you can try.

He would study hard the night before a test, but by the next morning, he had 26 most of the words. His teacher, Ms Wang, noticed his 27 and decided to help him. She had read about memory techniques and wanted to share 28 with her student. Ms Wang told Li Ming about the memory palace technique. "If you 29 this method, your memory will improve greatly," she said. The memory palace is a method that has been used for thousands of years. You imagine a 30 place, like your house, and then put the things you want to remember in different 31 of that place. The key is to create 32 mental images that connect the information to the locations. Li Ming was sceptical at first. However, he 33 to try it. He imagined walking through his apartment. At the door, he placed the word "abandon"—he imagined a baby left at the door. In the living room, he put "brilliant"—a bright lamp shining on the sofa. In the kitchen, he placed "courage"—a lion sitting by the stove. Each image was vivid and unusual, which made it easier for his brain to remember. To his surprise, when Li Ming walked through his memory palace the next day, he could remember all 30 words perfectly. He continued to 34 this technique for a month. His English test score rose from 65 to 92. "If I don't use this method, I will 35 be struggling with vocabulary," Li Ming said with a smile.

You are not alone. Scientists have discovered that sleep plays a key role in how our brains save memories. Without enough rest, your brain simply cannot store new information properly. When you learn something new, your brain first keeps it in a temporary（暂时的） area. Think of it like a notepad（记事本）—it can only hold a little information at a time. If you want to remember it for a long time, your brain must move it to a "hard drive" for permanent（永久的） storage. This process mainly happens while you sleep. During deep sleep, your brain replays the day's events and strengthens the connections between brain cells（脑细胞）. The more strongly these connections are built, the easier it is to recall（回忆） the memory later. That is why a good night's sleep can help you remember facts better than hours of last-minute cramming（临时死记硬背）. A 2025 study followed 200 high school students over three months. Half of them were asked to get at least eight hours of sleep each night, while the other half followed their usual sleep habits. The results were clear: the well-rested group scored 25% higher on memory tests and reported feeling less stressed during exams. However, many students believe that sacrificing（牺牲） sleep for extra study time is a good idea. In fact, this habit does more harm than good. If you don't get enough sleep, your brain cannot move information into long-term storage. As a result, everything you studied may simply disappear from your mind by morning. So what should you do? First, try to go to bed at the same time every night. Second, avoid using your phone for at least an hour before bedtime—the blue light from screens can disrupt（扰乱） your sleep cycle. Finally, if you feel tired during the day, a short 20-minute nap（小睡） can help refresh your brain. Remember: studying smart is better than studying long. If you take care of your sleep, your memory will take care of the rest. 41. What happens to new information if you don\'t get enough sleep? A. It moves to permanent storage immediately. B. It stays in a temporary area and may be lost. C. It becomes stronger and easier to recall. D. It is stored in the brain\'s "hard drive". 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段，新信息先存放在临时区域（记事本），需要通过睡眠才能转移到永久存储。如果睡眠不足，这一转移过程无法完成，信息可能丢失。A项"立即转移到永久存储"与原文"主要通过睡眠完成"矛盾；C项"变得更强"需要睡眠支持；D项"存入硬盘"需要睡眠过程。故选B。 42. What does the underlined word "recall" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Forget. B. Remember. C. Write. D. Learn. 【答案】B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段上下文"strengthens the connections...the easier it is to recall the memory later"，连接越强，以后越容易"回忆"起记忆。recall意为"回忆/记起"，与remember同义。A项"忘记"、C项"写"、D项"学习"均不符合语境。故选B。 43. How much higher did the well-rested group score on memory tests? A. 15%. B. 20%. C. 25%. D. 30%. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段"the well-rested group scored 25% higher on memory tests"。A/B/D数据均与原文不符。故选C。 44. What does the writer say about staying up late to study? A. It is a good way to improve grades. B. It does more harm than good. C. It helps the brain store information. D. It is better than sleeping early. 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段"this habit does more harm than good"，熬夜学习的坏处大于好处。A/D项与原文"does more harm"矛盾；C项与原文"不能将信息转入长期存储"矛盾。故选B。 45. What can we infer from the passage? A. Phones should be used more often before bedtime. B. Naps are useless for refreshing the brain. C. Getting enough sleep helps both memory and stress. D. Studying long hours is always the best way to learn. 【答案】C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段"well-rested group scored 25% higher...feeling less stressed"，充足的睡眠既提高记忆成绩又减轻压力。A项与"avoid using your phone for at least an hour before bedtime"矛盾；B项与"nap can help refresh your brain"矛盾；D项与"studying smart is better than studying long"矛盾。故选C。 C （改编自2025-2026年数字健忘症研究） Do you sometimes walk into a room and forget why you went there? Or perhaps you can no longer remember your best friend's phone number? If so, you are not alone. Researchers are increasingly concerned about a phenomenon they call "digital amnesia"—the loss of memory caused by our reliance on smartphones and other digital devices. A study by Singapore Management University found that frequently checking your phone fragments your attention and makes it harder for your brain to consolidate memories. Every time you unlock your phone to check a notification, your brain has to switch tasks. This constant switching reduces your ability to concentrate deeply and weakens your memory over time. The study revealed a worrying statistic: if a person unlocks their phone more than 110 times a day, they are at "high risk" of digital addiction and memory problems. Another problem is that we are outsourcing our memory to our devices. Instead of memorising phone numbers, addresses, or birthdays, we store them in our phones. If you always rely on your phone to remember things, your brain gets less practice, and your memory muscles, so to speak, become weaker. Neuroscientist Michel Tardieu compares this to a vicious cycle: "Using the phone activates the same brain circuits as addictive drugs. Each notification triggers dopamine, creating a cycle of dependence that worsens the problem." However, there are steps you can take to protect your memory. Unless you set limits on your phone use, digital amnesia will continue to get worse. Experts suggest practising "cognitive hygiene"—training your memory five or six times a day without using your phone. For example, try to remember a phone number or an address before looking it up. If you turn off unnecessary notifications and put your phone away during meals and before bedtime, you will give your brain the quiet time it needs to process and store memories. Remember: if you don't use your memory, you will lose it. But if you exercise it regularly, your memory can remain strong throughout your life. 【导语】本文介绍了"数字健忘症"现象——过度依赖智能手机导致记忆力下降，包括新加坡管理大学的研究发现、大脑任务切换的负面影响、神经科学家Tardieu对手机成瘾的分析，以及改善记忆力的建议。改编自2025-2026年多项研究。 46. What is "digital amnesia" according to the passage? A. A disease that destroys brain cells. B. Memory loss caused by relying on digital devices. C. Forgetting to bring your phone. D. A type of smartphone brand. 【答案】B 【解析】根据第一段"the loss of memory caused by our reliance on smartphones and other digital devices"。故选B。 47. What does the word "fragments" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Improves. B. Breaks into pieces. C. Protects. D. Collects together. 【答案】B 【解析】fragments意为"使破碎/使分裂"，此处指频繁查看手机使注意力碎片化，即"打碎成片段"。Improves改善；Breaks into pieces打碎；Protects保护；Collects together收集。故选B。 48. Why does the author mention "110 times" in Paragraph 2? A. To show how popular smartphones are. B. To suggest people should use phones more. C. To give a warning level for digital addiction. D. To compare different phone brands. 【答案】C 【解析】根据第二段"if a person unlocks their phone more than 110 times a day, they are at 'high risk' of digital addiction and memory problems"，110次是一个风险警告线。故选C。 49. What does Michel Tardieu compare smartphone use to? A. Physical exercise. B. Reading books. C. Addictive drugs. D. Healthy eating. 【答案】C 【解析】根据第三段"Using the phone activates the same brain circuits as addictive drugs"。故选C。 50. What is the main message of the passage? A. Smartphones are completely bad for us. B. We should stop using all digital devices. C. We need to use our memory actively to keep it strong. D. Digital amnesia cannot be prevented. 【答案】C 【解析】主旨大意题。文章先指出过度依赖手机导致数字健忘症(Digital Amnesia)，然后通过研究数据和专家建议说明：如果我们主动锻炼记忆、限制手机使用，记忆力就能保持强健。全文核心论点是"主动使用记忆才能保持其强健"，C项最准确概括了这一主旨。A项过于绝对，B项仅涉及问题未涉及对策，D项片面。故选C。 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) The human brain is an amazing organ（器官）. It can store a huge amount of information—from the name of your first teacher to the taste of your favourite food. 51 Scientists have discovered that the brain does not store memories like a computer stores files. Instead, memories are formed through connections between neurons. If you learn something new, your brain creates new connections. 52 This is why repetition is so important for learning. If you review information regularly, the connections become stronger. 53 The hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped structure deep in the brain, plays a key role in this process. It acts like a bridge, moving new memories from short-term storage to long-term storage. 54 During sleep, the brain replays the day's experiences and strengthens the neural connections. If you don't get enough sleep, this process is disrupted and memories may be lost. So, if you want to remember things better, here are some tips: review new information within 24 hours, connect new knowledge to things you already know, and make sure you get enough sleep every night. 55 A. But how exactly does this incredible process work? B. If you don't review, these connections will weaken over time. C. Without good sleep, even the best memory techniques will not work well. D. Sleep is another crucial factor in memory formation. E. However, some memories are stronger than others. F. The stronger the connections, the easier it is to recall the memory. 【答案】51 E 52. B 53. F 54. D 55. C 【导语】本文介绍了大脑如何形成和存储记忆，包括神经元连接、海马体的作用、睡眠对记忆巩固的重要性，以及改善记忆的建议。 51. 前文说大脑能存储大量信息，E选项"但这令人难以置信的过程究竟是如何运作的？"以转折词But开头，承接前文的赞叹，引出下文对记忆机制的科学解释。A选项讲brain connections与后文不衔接；C选项讲sleep过早引入新话题；D选项直接讲睡眠也嫌突兀。E的疑问句恰好过渡到机理说明。故选E。 52 前文说学习新东西时大脑创建新连接，B选项"如果你不复习，这些连接会随时间减弱"以if条件句呼应后文"This is why repetition is so important"，形成因果衔接：不复习→连接减弱→所以复习很重要。A选项过早引入special role；D选项讲sleep偏离当前话题。故选B。 53. 前文说复习使连接更强，F选项"连接越强，越容易回忆"用the+比较级结构进一步解释连接强度与回忆难度的关系，与后文介绍海马体(hippocampus)的功能衔接。A选项讲each part与海马体无关；C选项讲sleep在此处过早出现；E选项是疑问句不符合承接逻辑。故选F。 54. 后文说睡眠时大脑重放经历并强化神经连接，D选项"睡眠是记忆形成的另一个关键因素"以Another crucial factor引出新的分论点，与后文"During sleep, the brain replays"完美衔接。A选项讲each part是总起而非分论点；E选项是疑问句不符合此处语境。故选D。 55. 前文给出改善记忆的三条建议(review、connect、sleep)，C选项"没有好的睡眠，即使最好的记忆技巧也不会很好地起作用"以even the best...will not条件句总结，强调睡眠的基础性地位——其他技巧都需要好睡眠做保障。A选项讲each part已过时；E选项是疑问句不适合结尾。故选C。 第三节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 下面的材料A-F分别介绍了六种改善记忆的方法。请根据五位同学的需求，选择最适合他们的方法。 (56) Tom often forgets people's names right after meeting them. (57) Linda wants to memorise a list of 20 English words for tomorrow's test. (58) David can't remember the order of planets in the solar system. (59) Jane needs to prepare for a history exam with many dates and events. (60) Mike finds it hard to concentrate because his phone keeps sending notifications. A. Try the memory palace technique—imagine a familiar place and put each person's name at a specific location. If you walk through this palace in your mind, you will remember all the names. B. Use spaced repetition—review the words after 1 hour, then 2 hours, then 3 hours. If you follow this schedule, you will remember them much longer. C. Create a mnemonic sentence—use the first letter of each planet to make a funny sentence. For example, "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles" stands for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. D. Draw a mind map—put the main topic in the centre and connect related events to it. If you use different colours for different time periods, it will be easier to remember. E. Turn off notifications—unless you reduce distractions, you will not be able to focus. If you put your phone in another room while studying, your concentration will improve. F. Take more notes—write down everything the teacher says. If you write more, you will remember more. 【答案】56. A 57. B 58. C 59 D 60. E 【导语】本文介绍了五位同学的记忆问题和六种改善记忆的方法，需要根据个人需求匹配合适的记忆技巧。 56. Tom的问题是often forgets peoples names，Memory Palace(A)将名字放在特定位置帮助记忆，直接对应Tom的需求。匹配A。 57. Linda的需求是为明天考试记20个单词，需要在短时间内高效记忆。Spaced Repetition(B)的核心是"按间隔复习(1小时、2小时、3小时)"，最适合考前突击记忆词汇。A项Memory Palace适合长期记忆人名和清单；C项Mnemonic适合顺序记忆；E项关通知与背单词无关。故匹配B。 58. David的问题是记不住行星顺序，需要按特定顺序记忆。Mnemonic Devices(C)的核心是"创建首字母缩写或句子(如ROYGBIV)"，专门用于记忆有顺序的列表。A项Memory Palace适合位置记忆而非顺序；B项Spaced Repetition适合词汇而非顺序；D项Mind Mapping不适合简单排序。故匹配C。 59. Jane的需求是准备有很多日期和事件的历史考试，需要理清事件之间的关联。Mind Mapping(D)的核心是"画图连接相关想法"，用不同颜色标注不同时期，最适合整理复杂的日期和事件关系。A项Memory Palace适合清单而非关系网；B项Spaced Repetition适合单词而非事件关联。故匹配D。 60. Mike的问题是手机不断发通知导致分心，需要减少干扰来提高专注力。Turn off notifications(E)的核心是"除非减少干扰否则无法专注"，用if条件句说明关掉通知能改善注意力。A项Memory Palace解决记忆方法而非注意力；B项Spaced Repetition解决复习效率而非分心问题；F项记笔记不能解决通知干扰。故匹配E。 五、语篇填词 (本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) Memory is like a (61)m________ that needs regular exercise. If you don't use your memory, it will become weaker over time. One of the best ways to (62)i________ your memory is through regular practice. For example, if you try to remember new words every day, your brain will form stronger (63)c________ between neurons. Another important factor is sleep. Unless you get (64)e________ sleep, your brain won't be able to move information from short-term to long-term memory. Finally, if you want to remember something well, you should (65)r________ it within 24 hours of learning it. 【答案】61. muscle 62. improve 63. connections 64 enough 65. review 【导语】本文介绍记忆如同需要锻炼的肌肉，通过日常练习、充足睡眠和及时复习可以改善记忆力。贴合Unit 7 Memory词汇。 61. 根据首字母m及语境，记忆像需要锻炼的肌肉，muscle(肌肉)是最佳填词。metabolism不符合比喻；mind不是可锻炼的实体。填muscle。 62. 根据首字母i及语境，应填表示改善/提高的动词，improve(改善)最恰当。increase不与memory搭配；intensify过于正式。填improve。 63. 根据首字母c及语境，大脑在神经元之间形成更强的连接，connections(连接)最恰当。circuits不如connections直接；cells不符合between neurons。填connections。 64. 考查上下文语境与形容词辨析。首字母e及语境"Unless you get ___ sleep"中，unless = if...not，即"如果没有充足的睡眠"，enough(充足的)最恰当，enough sleep表示"充足的睡眠"。early(早的)修饰sleep侧重时间而非量；extra(额外的)语义偏离，不一定是"额外"而是"充足"。故填enough。 65. 根据首字母r及语境，学后24小时内应复习，review(复习)最恰当。remember是目标而非动作；repeat不如review精确。填review。 六、语法填空 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 （主题：记忆技巧与睡眠对记忆的影响） If you want to remember things better, there are several strategies you can try. First, the memory palace technique is one of ___66___ (old) memory methods in the world. It works by linking information to familiar locations. If you imagine ___67___ (walk) through your house and placing items in different rooms, you will find ___68___ much easier to recall them later. Second, spaced repetition is a ___69___ （power ）tool for learning. Instead ___70___ studying everything at once, you review the material at increasing intervals. If you review a word after one day, three days, and seven days, you will remember it for a very long time. Finally, sleep plays ___71__ important role in memory. If you don't get enough sleep, your brain will not be able to store new information ___72___ (proper). Research ___73___ (show) that deep sleep is the time when memories ___74___ (move) from short-term to long-term storage. Therefore, unless you take care of your sleep habits, even the best memory techniques ___75___ (will not) help you much. 【答案】66. the oldest 67. walking 68. it 69. powerful 70. of 71. an 72 properly 73. shows 74. are moved 75. won't 【导语】本文介绍了记忆宫殿、间隔重复和充足睡眠三种改善记忆的方法，大量使用if条件句和unless。贴合Unit 7 Memory主题和语法。 66. 考查最高级结构。"one of the + 最高级 + 可数名词复数"是固定结构，old的最高级为the oldest，故填the oldest。注意必须包含定冠词the。 67. 考查非谓语动词——动名词作宾语。imagine后必须接动名词(v.-ing)作宾语，imagine doing sth.意为"想象做某事"，这是固定用法，imagine后不能接不定式to do。此处imagine walking through your house表示"想象走过你的房子"，walking为walk的动名词形式。故填walking。 68. 考查形式宾语。find it + adj. + to do sth.中it为形式宾语，adj.为宾语补足语，to do sth.为真正宾语。此处find it much easier to recall them later中it代替to recall them later。 69. 考查词性转换。修饰名词tool需用形容词而非名词，power的形容词形式为powerful，意为"强大的"，a powerful tool表示"一个强大的工具"。 70. 考查介词固定搭配。instead of意为"代替/而不是"，后接名词或动名词，是固定介词短语。此处"Instead of studying everything at once"表示"不是一次学完所有内容(而是分次复习)"，of后接动名词studying。instead of与rather than含义相似，但instead of是介词短语后接名词/动名词，rather than是连词后接动词原形。此处为介词填空，填of。 71. 考查冠词用法。play an important role是固定搭配，意为"发挥重要作用"。important以元音音素/ɪ/开头，根据冠词使用规则，元音音素开头的单词前用an而非a。the表特指，此处泛指"一个重要作用"不用the；零冠词/不适用，因为role是可数名词不能省略冠词。故填an。 72. 考查词性转换——形容词变副词。修饰动词store需用副词形式，proper(适当的)的副词为properly，意为"适当地/正确地"。store new information properly表示"正确地存储新信息"。若用形容词proper则语法错误，因为形容词不能直接修饰动词。形容词变副词的规则：一般加-ly，以辅音字母+y结尾的变y为i加-ly。故填properly。 73. 考查主谓一致与时态选择。Research(研究)为不可数名词，作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。此处陈述科学研究发现，用一般现在时表客观事实，show加s变为shows。注意：researches可作可数名词(指多项研究)，但此处Research为泛指的不可数概念，谓语用单数。故填shows。 74. 考查语态与时态。memories(记忆)与move(转移)之间为被动关系——记忆被转移，而非主动转移，故用被动语态。描述一般性科学事实用一般现在时被动are moved。 75. 考查unless条件句的"主将从现"原则。unless = if...not，引导否定条件从句。此处unless you take care of your sleep habits为从句(一般现在时)，主句需用一般将来时。won't help = will not help，表示"将不会有什么帮助"。unless从句用肯定形式，主句用否定形式won't help，符合"除非...否则不"的逻辑。故填won't。 七、完成句子。(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 76. 如果你每天复习英语单词，你就会记住它们。 【答案】If you review English words every day, you will remember them. 【解析】考查if条件句"主将从现"原则。中文"如果你每天复习英语单词"为条件从句，用一般现在时If you review English words every day；"你就会记住它们"为主句，用一般将来时you will remember them。注意：them指代English words，不能用it。 77. 除非你早点起床，否则你会迟到。 【答案】You will be late unless you get up early. 【解析】考查unless条件句的用法。unless = if...not，中文"除非你早点起床"转为肯定条件从句unless you get up early，"否则你会迟到"为主句You will be late。也可写成If you don't get up early, you will be late。注意unless从句用肯定形式，主句用一般将来时。 78. 如果你不注意健康，你的记忆力会变差。 【答案】If you don't pay attention to your health, your memory will get worse. 【解析】考查if条件句"主将从现"和pay attention to固定搭配。中文"如果你不注意健康"为条件从句，主语you，否定用don't pay attention to your health；"你的记忆力会变差"为主句，用一般将来时your memory will get worse。if从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，符合主将从现原则。 79. 这位老人在事故后失去了记忆。 【答案】The old man lost his memory after the accident. 【解析】考查lose one's memory固定搭配。"失去记忆"表达为lose one's memory，one's需与主语保持一致。主语是the old man(第三人称单数男性)，故用his代替one's，完整翻译为The old man lost his memory after the accident。注意lose的过去式为lost。 80. 除非我们保护大脑，否则记忆力将会下降。 【答案】Unless we protect our brain, our memory will decline. 【解析】考查unless条件句"主将从现"原则。中文"除非我们保护大脑"转为unless we protect our brain，从句用一般现在时肯定形式protect；"记忆力将会下降"为主句，用our memory will decline。decline意为"下降/衰退"。unless = if we don't protect our brain。 八、书面表达。(共15分) 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom写信告诉你他最近记忆力下降，经常忘记要做的事情。请你给他写一封回信，提出至少三条改善记忆力的建议。 内容包括： 1. 表示理解与关心； 2. 提出至少三条改善记忆力的建议（如：保证充足睡眠、使用记忆技巧、减少手机使用等）； 3. 用if或unless条件句表达建议的结果； 4. 表达美好祝愿。 要求： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear Tom, I'm sorry to hear that your memory has been getting worse recently. Don't worry—this is a common problem, and there are ways to improve it. First, if you get enough sleep every night, your brain will have time to store memories properly. Second, unless you reduce the time you spend on your phone, you will keep getting distracted. Try turning off notifications while studying. Third, if you use memory techniques like the memory palace or spaced repetition, you will remember things much more easily. For example, if you review new information within 24 hours, you won't forget it quickly. I hope these tips will help you. If you follow them, your memory will certainly improve!

He would study hard the night before a test, but by the next morning, he had 26 most of the words. His teacher, Ms Wang, noticed his 27 and decided to help him. She had read about memory techniques and wanted to share 28 with her student. Ms Wang told Li Ming about the memory palace technique. "If you 29 this method, your memory will improve greatly," she said. The memory palace is a method that has been used for thousands of years. You imagine a 30 place, like your house, and then put the things you want to remember in different 31 of that place. The key is to create 32 mental images that connect the information to the locations. Li Ming was sceptical at first. However, he 33 to try it. He imagined walking through his apartment. At the door, he placed the word "abandon"—he imagined a baby left at the door. In the living room, he put "brilliant"—a bright lamp shining on the sofa. In the kitchen, he placed "courage"—a lion sitting by the stove. Each image was vivid and unusual, which made it easier for his brain to remember. To his surprise, when Li Ming walked through his memory palace the next day, he could remember all 30 words perfectly. He continued to 34 this technique for a month. His English test score rose from 65 to 92. "If I don't use this method, I will 35 be struggling with vocabulary," Li Ming said with a smile.

B 改编自2025年《神经科学前沿》睡眠与记忆研究） Have you ever stayed up late studying, only to forget everything the next day? You are not alone. Scientists have discovered that sleep plays a key role in how our brains save memories. Without enough rest, your brain simply cannot store new information properly. When you learn something new, your brain first keeps it in a temporary（暂时的） area. Think of it like a notepad（记事本）—it can only hold a little information at a time. If you want to remember it for a long time, your brain must move it to a "hard drive" for permanent（永久的） storage. This process mainly happens while you sleep. During deep sleep, your brain replays the day's events and strengthens the connections between brain cells（脑细胞）. The more strongly these connections are built, the easier it is to recall（回忆） the memory later. That is why a good night's sleep can help you remember facts better than hours of last-minute cramming（临时死记硬背）. A 2025 study followed 200 high school students over three months. Half of them were asked to get at least eight hours of sleep each night, while the other half followed their usual sleep habits. The results were clear: the well-rested group scored 25% higher on memory tests and reported feeling less stressed during exams. However, many students believe that sacrificing（牺牲） sleep for extra study time is a good idea. In fact, this habit does more harm than good. If you don't get enough sleep, your brain cannot move information into long-term storage. As a result, everything you studied may simply disappear from your mind by morning. So what should you do? First, try to go to bed at the same time every night. Second, avoid using your phone for at least an hour before bedtime—the blue light from screens can disrupt（扰乱） your sleep cycle. Finally, if you feel tired during the day, a short 20-minute nap（小睡） can help refresh your brain. Remember: studying smart is better than studying long. If you take care of your sleep, your memory will take care of the rest. 41. What happens to new information if you don\'t get enough sleep? A. It moves to permanent storage immediately. B. It stays in a temporary area and may be lost. C. It becomes stronger and easier to recall. D. It is stored in the brain\'s "hard drive". 42. What does the underlined word "recall" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Forget. B. Remember. C. Write. D. Learn. 43. How much higher did the well-rested group score on memory tests? A. 15%. B. 20%. C. 25%. D. 30%. 44. What does the writer say about staying up late to study? A. It is a good way to improve grades. B. It does more harm than good. C. It helps the brain store information. D. It is better than sleeping early. 45. What can we infer from the passage? A. Phones should be used more often before bedtime. B. Naps are useless for refreshing the brain. C. Getting enough sleep helps both memory and stress. D. Studying long hours is always the best way to learn. C （改编自2025-2026年数字健忘症研究） Do you sometimes walk into a room and forget why you went there? Or perhaps you can no longer remember your best friend's phone number? If so, you are not alone. Researchers are increasingly concerned about a phenomenon they call "digital amnesia"—the loss of memory caused by our reliance on smartphones and other digital devices. A study by Singapore Management University found that frequently checking your phone fragments your attention and makes it harder for your brain to consolidate memories. Every time you unlock your phone to check a notification, your brain has to switch tasks. This constant switching reduces your ability to concentrate deeply and weakens your memory over time. The study revealed a worrying statistic: if a person unlocks their phone more than 110 times a day, they are at "high risk" of digital addiction and memory problems. Another problem is that we are outsourcing our memory to our devices. Instead of memorising phone numbers, addresses, or birthdays, we store them in our phones. If you always rely on your phone to remember things, your brain gets less practice, and your memory muscles, so to speak, become weaker. Neuroscientist Michel Tardieu compares this to a vicious cycle: "Using the phone activates the same brain circuits as addictive drugs. Each notification triggers dopamine, creating a cycle of dependence that worsens the problem." However, there are steps you can take to protect your memory. Unless you set limits on your phone use, digital amnesia will continue to get worse. Experts suggest practising "cognitive hygiene"—training your memory five or six times a day without using your phone. For example, try to remember a phone number or an address before looking it up. If you turn off unnecessary notifications and put your phone away during meals and before bedtime, you will give your brain the quiet time it needs to process and store memories. Remember: if you don't use your memory, you will lose it. But if you exercise it regularly, your memory can remain strong throughout your life. 46. What is "digital amnesia" according to the passage? A. A disease that destroys brain cells. B. Memory loss caused by relying on digital devices. C. Forgetting to bring your phone. D. A type of smartphone brand. 47. What does the word "fragments" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Improves. B. Breaks into pieces. C. Protects. D. Collects together. 48. Why does the author mention "110 times" in Paragraph 2? A. To show how popular smartphones are. B. To suggest people should use phones more. C. To give a warning level for digital addiction. D. To compare different phone brands. 49. What does Michel Tardieu compare smartphone use to? A. Physical exercise. B. Reading books. C. Addictive drugs. D. Healthy eating. 50. What is the main message of the passage? A. Smartphones are completely bad for us. B. We should stop using all digital devices. C. We need to use our memory actively to keep it strong. D. Digital amnesia cannot be prevented. 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) The human brain is an amazing organ（器官）. It can store a huge amount of information—from the name of your first teacher to the taste of your favourite food. 51 Scientists have discovered that the brain does not store memories like a computer stores files. Instead, memories are formed through connections between neurons. If you learn something new, your brain creates new connections. 52 This is why repetition is so important for learning. If you review information regularly, the connections become stronger. 53 The hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped structure deep in the brain, plays a key role in this process. It acts like a bridge, moving new memories from short-term storage to long-term storage. 54 During sleep, the brain replays the day's experiences and strengthens the neural connections. If you don't get enough sleep, this process is disrupted and memories may be lost. So, if you want to remember things better, here are some tips: review new information within 24 hours, connect new knowledge to things you already know, and make sure you get enough sleep every night. 55 A. But how exactly does this incredible process work? B. If you don't review, these connections will weaken over time. C. Without good sleep, even the best memory techniques will not work well. D. Sleep is another crucial factor in memory formation. E. However, some memories are stronger than others. F. The stronger the connections, the easier it is to recall the memory. 第三节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 下面的材料A-F分别介绍了六种改善记忆的方法。请根据五位同学的需求，选择最适合他们的方法。 (56)___________ Tom often forgets people's names right after meeting them. (57)___________ Linda wants to memorise a list of 20 English words for tomorrow's test. (58)___________ David can't remember the order of planets in the solar system. (59)___________ Jane needs to prepare for a history exam with many dates and events. (60)___________ Mike finds it hard to concentrate because his phone keeps sending notifications. A. Try the memory palace technique—imagine a familiar place and put each person's name at a specific location. If you walk through this palace in your mind, you will remember all the names. B. Use spaced repetition—review the words after 1 hour, then 2 hours, then 3 hours. If you follow this schedule, you will remember them much longer. C. Create a mnemonic sentence—use the first letter of each planet to make a funny sentence. For example, "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles" stands for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. D. Draw a mind map—put the main topic in the centre and connect related events to it. If you use different colours for different time periods, it will be easier to remember. E. Turn off notifications—unless you reduce distractions, you will not be able to focus. If you put your phone in another room while studying, your concentration will improve. F. Take more notes—write down everything the teacher says. If you write more, you will remember more. 五、语篇填词 (本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) Memory is like a (61)m________ that needs regular exercise.

Don't worry—this is a common problem, and there are ways to improve it. First, if you get enough sleep every night, your brain will have time to store memories properly. Second, unless you reduce the time you spend on your phone, you will keep getting distracted. Try turning off notifications while studying. Third, if you use memory techniques like the memory palace or spaced repetition, you will remember things much more easily. For example, if you review new information within 24 hours, you won't forget it quickly. I hope these tips will help you. If you follow them, your memory will certainly improve!
