十、阅读理解
A
Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized（有条理的）. When you put away a book-or memory-you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
1. In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________.
A. they are too worried B. they don’t like to study
C. they have memory problems D. they don’t use a proper way
2. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage
A. Short-term memory is seldom used.
B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.
C. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.
D. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.
3.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________.
A. works like a well-organized library B. keeps many books like a large library
C. provides any book you want D. leaves memory anywhere
4. Which is one example of “thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3
A. Talking with people that you know. B. Listening to some familiar stories.
C. Making sentences with the word. D. Drawing pictures of the word on paper.
5. This passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. how to improve ways to remember words B. how to make the meaning of words stronger
C. short-term and long-term memory D. language students’ problems in study

B
Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding—most of us go to school by bus or by subway. But whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking. This is strange. In many other cases, our memories let us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, don’t we So why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding a long time ago
There are many types of memories. Memories of experiences (e.g., our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e.g., the capital of France) are declarative memories. These memories can be communicated to others. Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are procedural memories. These memories are responsible for our performance.
Scientists have done many experiments on different memory types. Perhaps the most famous of them was carried out on Henry Gustav Molaison, an epileptic (癫痫患者). In an operation in the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, the man suffered less from epilepsy. But there was a new problem! Molaison’s memory system went wrong. Through tests, scientists found he could learn new skills (slowly, though). However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. In other words, Molaison could develop new procedural, but not declarative, memories.
Scientists have concluded that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last much longer. However, they haven’t yet found out why. Some say procedural memories are more lasting because they are stored in the brain’s center.
Now, “It is just like riding a bicycle” has been used as an idiom (习语) in our daily life.
1．In the first paragraph, the writer leads into the topic by ________.
A．listing numbers B．giving examples
C．describing scenes D．explaining reasons
2．Which of the following is about a procedural memory
A．The climate of Asia. B．A birthday party with friends.
C．A trip to the USA． D．Swimming.
3．What might be Henry Gustav Molaison’s new problem after the operation in the 1950s
A．He couldn’t remember anything.
B．He couldn’t learn a new skill.
C．He couldn’t remember factual knowledge.
D．He suffered more from epilepsy.
4．The idiom “It is just like riding a bicycle” probably means “________.”
A．Once learned, it is never forgotten B．It’s never too late to learn
C．You should learn with all your heart D．People can learn from their mistakes
【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A
【知识点】科普知识、说明文
【导语】本文主要讲述了不同类型的记忆及其在大脑中的存储方式。
1．推理判断题。根据“Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding—most of us go to school by bus or by subway. But whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking...”可知第一段以“骑自行车”为例，引出本文主题，故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据“Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are procedural memories” 可知程序性记忆与技能相关，游泳是一种技能，属于程序性记忆。故选D。
3．细节理解题。根据“Memories of experiences (e.g., our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e.g., the capital of France) are declarative memories.”以及“However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. In other words, Molaison could develop new procedural, but not declarative, memories.” 以及陈述性记忆包括 factual knowledge 可知术后他无法形成新的陈述性记忆，即记不住事实知识。故选C。
4．词句猜测题。根据“It is just like riding a bicycle”可知，这句话是与第一段的举例骑自行车的事实相呼应，在第一段中提到只要学会了自行车，哪怕是很久不骑，但每当骑上自行车，就好像从未停止过骑车，也就是说“一旦学会，就永远不会忘记”，故选A。中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台

十、阅读理解
A
Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized（有条理的）. When you put away a book-or memory-you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
1. In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________.
A. they are too worried B. they don’t like to study
C. they have memory problems D. they don’t use a proper way
2. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage
A. Short-term memory is seldom used.
B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.
C. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.
D. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.
3.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________.
A. works like a well-organized library B. keeps many books like a large library
C. provides any book you want D. leaves memory anywhere
4. Which is one example of “thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3
A. Talking with people that you know. B. Listening to some familiar stories.
C. Making sentences with the word. D. Drawing pictures of the word on paper.
5. This passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. how to improve ways to remember words B. how to make the meaning of words stronger
C. short-term and long-term memory D. language students’ problems in study
B
Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding—most of us go to school by bus or by subway. But whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking. This is strange. In many other cases, our memories let us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, don’t we So why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding a long time ago
There are many types of memories. Memories of experiences (e.g., our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e.g., the capital of France) are declarative memories. These memories can be communicated to others. Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are procedural memories. These memories are responsible for our performance.
Scientists have done many experiments on different memory types. Perhaps the most famous of them was carried out on Henry Gustav Molaison, an epileptic (癫痫患者). In an operation in the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, the man suffered less from epilepsy. But there was a new problem! Molaison’s memory system went wrong. Through tests, scientists found he could learn new skills (slowly, though). However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. In other words, Molaison could develop new procedural, but not declarative, memories.
Scientists have concluded that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last much longer. However, they haven’t yet found out why. Some say procedural memories are more lasting because they are stored in the brain’s center.
Now, “It is just like riding a bicycle” has been used as an idiom (习语) in our daily life.
1．In the first paragraph, the writer leads into the topic by ________.
A．listing numbers B．giving examples
C．describing scenes D．explaining reasons
2．Which of the following is about a procedural memory
A．The climate of Asia. B．A birthday party with friends.
C．A trip to the USA． D．Swimming.
3．What might be Henry Gustav Molaison’s new problem after the operation in the 1950s
A．He couldn’t remember anything.
B．He couldn’t learn a new skill.
C．He couldn’t remember factual knowledge.
D．He suffered more from epilepsy.
4．The idiom “It is just like riding a bicycle” probably means “________.”
A．Once learned, it is never forgotten B．It’s never too late to learn
C．You should learn with all your heart D．People can learn from their mistakes
