试题详情及答案解析

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don’t forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and 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 immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “Hi! I’m Carlos,” don’t just say “Hello.” Repeat the person’s name. Say “_________”
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it’s hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆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 review 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. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

试题分析：短文大意：人类的大脑只有1.4千克重，但是它能容纳的信息量比电脑还要多。只不过我们记忆的东西很容易遗忘掉。该文介绍了六种改善记忆力的方法——重复别人的名字、将很长的数字分段记忆、反复书写要记忆的公式或数据、经常复习回忆、与人一起讨论、不暗示自己记忆力差而是主动训练记忆力。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据该文介绍了六种改善记忆力的方法——重复别人的名字、将很长的数字分段记忆、反复书写要记忆的公式或数据、经常复习回忆、与人一起讨论、不暗示自己记忆力差而是主动训练记忆力。可知该选D。
【小题2】推理判断题。根据前句的“Repeat the person's name”可以得知答案选Hello, Carlos.所以选A。
【小题3】段落大意题。根据第三段Break a big number into smaller parts.后面举例将一大数分成三段记忆更容易。A项意为：把它储存在电脑里； B项意为：把它拆成小的片段C项意为：与朋友一起讨论；D项意为：睡觉前复习。所以选B。
【小题4】段落大意题。题目的意思是“千万不要对自己说你的记忆力不好。”该段的后文说记忆力是可以改善的，常用就能更好，所以要有信心。选项A的意思是你应该告诉别人你的记忆力不好；选项B的意思是你应该始终相信别人；选项C的意思是你应该请别人改善他们的记忆力；选项D的意思是你应该对你的记忆能力有信心。总结这一段的段落大意可知该选D。
