However, computers don’t forget information, and humans often do. No one remembers everything. Luckily we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions. ◆ Try to use new information at once. If you meet someone who says, “Hi! I’m Carlos.” Don’t just answer, “Hello”. Repeat the person’s name. Say, “Hello, Carlos.” ◆ Break a big number into smaller parts. It’s hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109, 244 and 153. It becomes easier. ◆ Always review information. If you bring what you’ve learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to read the new things you learned that day. ◆ Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. ◆ Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. Be confident! You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory can get better if they follow the right ways. 1. How many differences between the human brain and computers can we find in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 2. When we get new knowledge, we had better ________. A. use it immediately B. repeat it all day C. write it down and send it to someone D. have a talk with someone 3. How can people memorize a big number more easily according to the passage? A. By keeping it in a computer. B. By breaking it into smaller parts. C. By reading it again and again. D. By reviewing it before you sleep. 4. What does the underlined sentence “Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory” mean? A. You should tell others about your bad memory. B. You should believe in other people all the time. C. You should ask others to improve their memory. D. You should be confident in your memory ability. B How is your memory? Remembering things is an important job of our brain. If we can’t recall how to do something, we can’t survive. Memory allows the brain to store and retrieve (检索) information when required. Our short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a short time, while our long-term memory can hold an unlimited (无限的) amount of information for a long time. Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things? It’s possible we don’t always store information in our memory effectively, maybe because we are in a rush or we consider it irrelevant (不相关的) at the time. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. Writing for the BBC Science Focus magazine, Luis Villazon says, “It is also possible that memories decay (衰退) over time. As they have not been revisited, their biological’ trace’ becomes weak.” It’s true that if you don’t perform a task for a long period of time, it can be difficult to recall how to do it. But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down. Have you ever gone into a room to get something only to forget what you wanted when you got there? This is called “The Doorway Effect”. Writing for the BBC Future website, Tom Stafford explains that this occurs because we change both the physical and mental (精神的) environments, moving to a different room and thinking about different things. So, if you always forget things, it could be because you have too much on your mind. But we do need to keep our memory sharp by continually using it. 5. What is the function of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph? A. Explaining a question B. Expressing strong feelings. C. Leading into the following text. D. Giving the main idea of the first paragraph. 6. What can we know from the second paragraph? A. Different things are hard to remember at one time. B. Making connections helps you remember things better. C. Things will not be forgotten as you consider them important. D. The biological “trace” becomes weak as one grows older. 7. How does the writer explain what “The Doorway Effect” is? A. By listing numbers. B. By doing research. C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples. 8. How can you remember information better according to the text? A. Write the words again and again on the paper. B. Memorize words by repeating them 100 times. C. Connect things to other things and often use them. D. Memorize all the words in a day and not use them again. C Do you have a good memory? Scientists still study what it is. We know memory isn’t stored in one place but consists (存在于) of small pieces all over the brain. The brain is small but needs 20% of our body’s oxygen. Without enough oxygen, we can’t think well. So, ensure fresh air when learning! Why do we forget? Usually, because we didn’t learn well initially (一开始). For example, forgetting names happens if you didn’t record them when hearing them. No one remembers everything, but everyone can improve. Here are ways: ◆ Tell a friend. Discussing makes information memorable. Review the conversation later. ◆ Don’t over-train. Stop after learning a vocabulary list. Study much material briefly rather than little material for long. But practise new words immediately! ◆ Break big things down. Remembering 198756430387 is easier as 198-756-430-387. ◆ Relax. Don’t get angry if you forget. Enjoy learning. Happiness helps memory. None of these make memory 100% perfect, but all help. 9. Memory is stored in ________. A. left brain B. all over the brain C. right brain D. only some parts 10. 新考向 How to improve memory? ①Relax while studying. ②Over-train the brain. ③Break things into smaller parts. ④Talk with friends. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④ 11. The writer agrees with ________. A. learning 100 words at once B. writing long numbers to remember C. getting angry when forgetting D. getting enough oxygen when learning 12. What is the main idea? A. What the brain is and memory storage. B. When we think well and remember everything. C. Why we forget and how to improve memory. D. What memory consists of and who has good memory. D ①I looked at the row of bottles full of my parents’ handmade tomato sauce (酱). I have been saving them like the valuable treasures. Though I try to find something like them, nothing can take the place of the bottles. Shall I buy one in stores or could I make another one by myself? But it doesn’t taste like home. It will never taste the same. ②Making tomato sauce was a tradition in my family. My parents would collect the tomatoes each September. When the tomatoes were ready, we would take them to the factory to have them cleaned and boiled. Once cooked, whole tomatoes were put into a homemade machine so that the sauce was separated from the skins. After that, bottles at the ready, we filled them with sauce. The bottles would be hot for a few days, closing themselves and keeping their own heat. Then they would be ready to use anytime. ③However, my father got ill in 2019 when the tradition was hard to pass on. It took my parents a lot of time in hospital. But in September that year, they wanted to continue the tradition. Never will I forget the beautiful memories of that day. Sadly, my father passed away soon after. ④I can’t keep these bottles forever. For a girl who grew up with her parents’ love in every jar, it’s a silent goodbye. But it doesn’t make it any easier. Every time I go to reach for one, something stops me. What will it feel like to use that last bottle? It would mean the end of an era. Who knows? Maybe it’s time to bring new traditions to life. 13. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The writer was very good at making tomato sauce. B. The writer often bought tomato sauce in the store. C. The writer ran out of her parents’ handmade tomato sauce. D. The writer valued her parents’ handmade tomato sauce. 14. Which of the following shows the right order to make tomato sauce? a. collect tomatoes in September b. take tomatoes to the factory c. fill the bottle with sauce d. separate sauce from skins e. clean and boil the tomatoes A. a→b→c→d→e B. a→b→e→d→c C. a→d→b→c→e D. a→c→b→d→e 15. What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. A bottle. B. A day. C. A tradition. D. A store. 16. What can we learn from the writer’s family tradition? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Home is where the heart is. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Two heads are better than one. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 Sometimes we may forget something easily. Don’t worry. If you want to have a good memory, please follow me. ____17____. My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly (有规律地).

Scientists have found out several kinds of products—____31____ (include) vegetables which have green leaves, orange and red vegetables—are good for memory. Researchers at Harvard University have found that men who insist on eating those fruits and vegetables over a period of 20 years were more ____32____ (like) to have better memory skills than those who seldom eat them. The study followed about 27, 800 men in health care jobs over 20years, and surveyed them on their diets and other health-related topics every four years. Toward the end of the study, the ____33____ (research) started asking them questions about their memory. For example, “Do you have more trouble than usual remembering a short list of things, such as ____34____ shopping list?” or “Do you have more trouble than usual following a group conversation or a story in a TV program because ____35____ your memory?” “A growing number of “yes” answers to such questions can mean their memory ____36____ (go) down,” the researchers said. The participants (参与者) were divided into five groups, based on how many servings (分量) of vegetables and fruits they got each day, from six servings in the healthiest group to just two servings. The six-serving eaters were 34 percent less likely to be ____37____ (forget). And the results were even ____38____ (good) if the men happened to eat carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)—rich vegetables, such as carrots and pumpkins. Besides, those who drank orange juice often were 47 percent less likely to become forgetful, compared with those ____39____ drank orange juice less than once a month. “Our studies provide further evidence (证据) that diet choices can be important ____40____ (keep) your brain healthy,” researchers said. 四、阅读与表达 (共4小题，41~43小题，每小题2分，44小题4分；满分10分) 阅读下面的材料，根据内容回答问题。 Researchers found memory champions aren’t unique. Ordinary people can improve memory using the “mind palace” method, Sherlock Holmes’ secret weapon (武器). To use it, picture a familiar place like your living room. Remember its details to build your palace. To memorize a shopping list, mentally place each item in specific spots within this room. Recall the list by mentally walking through these spots. Researchers studied 51 volunteers with average memory. After 40 days of 30-minute daily training, they doubled their word recall. Four months later, performance remained high without further training. “Once learned, you keep good memory without much extra training,” said Professor Martin Dresler. Brain scans showed that after training, volunteers’ brain cell connections resembled (与……相似) those of memory champions. This structural change likely caused the improvement. Crucially (至关重要地), the study suggests superior memory isn’t genetic. Dresler found no brain structure differences between champions and ordinary people, meaning champions aren’t born with special brains. 41. What is the secret weapon of the novel character Sherlock Holmes? ______________________________________________________ 42. How many volunteers did researchers get together to research the influence of this method on the brain? ______________________________________________________ 43.
