Question

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then he paused in horror._ 1._

Barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn't remember where she'd put it.

__2.__ Most people have. But memory can be developed.

First, relax. If you're overanxious about remembering something, you'll forget it._ 3.__ Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.

Second, avoid being negative. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won't remember things. When you forget something, don't say, “Gee, I need to have my brain rewired(重裝電線)．”

To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be strengthened through exercise.__ 4.__ For example, if you're learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.

You may also want to make associations, or links, between what you're trying to remember and things you already know. For example, if you need to catch a plane at 2：00 p．m., you can imagine a plane in your mind and notice that it has two wings.__ 5._

A．Don't worry.

B．He had forgotten her name.

C．Perhaps you've had experiences like these.

D．Look for opportunities to exercise your memory.

E．Jokes like this will have a negative effect on your memory.

F．You are now ten times more likely to remember the take­off time.

G．Relaxing will help improve your awareness and ability to concentrate.

【解析】

試題分析：如果忘事怎么辦呢？第一，放松身心。第二，避免消極。你要積極應對，盡可能要把你想記住的和你已經知道的事情聯系起來。

1.考查上下文的語境理解能力。空前一句的意思是Mark開始向觀眾介紹嘉賓，但是他在恐怖中停頓了一下。后面應該是害怕的原因，所以選B （他忘記了她的名字。）。

2.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據空前介紹的另一個人也是忘了藏起來的珠寶。，后面又說大多數人有過類似的經歷。所以選C（也許你有過這樣的經歷。）。

3.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據空前的意思：第一，放松身心。如果你著急想起什么，你會忘記它。空后提到深呼吸，告訴自己你有的是時間來記住。與G（放松將幫助改善您的認識和集中精力的能力。）所表達的意思前后連貫。

4.考查上下文的語境理解能力。空前的意思是：像你的身體，你的記憶可以通過鍛煉加強。空后面是舉例說明：如果你正在學習一種語言，努力記住不規則動詞。所以選D（尋找機會來鍛煉你的記憶。）。

5.考查上下文的語境理解能力。空前的意思是：聯想飛機有兩個翅膀和兩點結合起來，與F（現在你比以前更容易十倍地記住起飛時間。）前后意思連貫。

考點：信息匹配。
