However,the study also brings good news.Memory can be improved with simple daily habits.For example,trying to memorize a phone number for 10 minutes before saving it,or describing your day to a friend without checking your phone.Another useful method is “association(联想)”一connecting new information with something you already know.For instance,to remember the name "Mr.Green",you might picture a green apple. Interestingly,the study found that physical exercise helps memory too.Running for 20 minutes a day increases blood flow to the brain,which helps form new memory cells."You don't need to be a genius to have a good memory,"said Dr.Harris."Just like cleaning your room regularly,you need to 'clean up'your memory by reviewing information often." So,next time you want to search for an answer immediately,pause and try to remember it first.Your brain will thank you! 13.What is "digital amnesia"according to the passage? A.A disease that makes people forget their names. B.Forgetting things because of relying too much on phones. C.A study about memory loss among old people. D.The ability to remember things online easily. 14.How much lower were the memory scores of teens who relied on phones? A.By 10%. B.By20%. C.By 30% D.By40%. 15.Which of the following is NOT a way to improve memory mentioned in the passage? A.Doing physical exercise like running. B.Using association to connect new information C.Saving all information on smartphones immediately D.Reviewing information regularly 16.What is the main idea of the passage?

This learning way is called“cramming(临时抱佛脚)”一trying to leam everything at the last minute.Dr.Robert Bjork,a psychologist(心理学家)，explains that cramming works only for short-term memory."You remember just enough for an easy exam,"he says,"and 第6页，共7页 you quickly forget most of what you 'learned'that night."This is especially bad for subjects like maths or languages.If you forget the basic knowledge.it will be much harder to understand new lessons later. What are better learning ways?A study shows that two ways-spaced-out learning 隔学习)and interleaving(交.义学y)-are much more helpful than cramming. Spaced-out learning means studying the same thing several times with breaks.For example,instcad of studying history for three hours the night before a test,you can study for one hour on Monday.Wednesday and Friday.This improves long-term memory.A study found that 90%of students remembered more by spaced-out learning than cramming. Interleaving is also a smart learning way.This means trying to leam diflerent things every time you study.For example.you can spend 30 minutes on maths.practise English for 20 minutes,and then write a short article.After that.go back to maths.Then you can remember the information better and for a longer time. Next time you have an exam,start studying early.space out study time.and mix up subjects.Remember:studying wiscly is better than studying hard at the last minutc. 41.How many learning ways does the passage talk about in total? 42.What does Dr.Robert Bjork think of cramming? 43.What does spaced-out learning mean? 44.hich learning way do you prefer?Why?(至少30个词) 五、书面表达：共20分。 假设你是My,最近知道了你的笔友李华在英语学习中常常因为记忆力不佳感到 苦恼，新学的单词很快就忘记，背诵课文效泽很低。而你掌握了很老科学的记忆方法， 学习效果很好。请你根据以下捉示，给李华写·封电子邮件，提供一些提高记忆力的实 用方法。 提示要点：表明写信月的，给李华提供23条具体、可操作的记忆方法。 要求：词数80100：可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯：邮件的开头和结尾已给出. 不计入总词数。 Dear Li Hua I'm sorry to hear that you have difficulty with your English study because of poor memory.
