Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自覺的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber（理發(fā)師）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.

Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny.

【答案】
（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）C
（5）B
【解析】本文介紹了我們的記憶經(jīng)常會(huì)捉弄我們，并列舉了這一類的很多具體事例。

（1）B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章前兩句Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自覺的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things.可知如果我們希望提高自己的記憶力并為之付出努力，我們可以很容易就記得事情的。故B項(xiàng)正確。

（2）A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before可知我以為我把前門關(guān)好了，但實(shí)際上并沒有關(guān)好。故A正確。

（3）D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones.可知我們經(jīng)常聽說粗心教授們的故事，我們也經(jīng)常能夠聽到一些新的故事。也就是說其他人也會(huì)發(fā)生與記憶有關(guān)的有趣的事情。故D正確。

（4）C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.可知即使你很成功，你的記憶也可能會(huì)作弄你。下文中列舉了很多人都會(huì)有記憶出錯(cuò)的事情。所以記憶出問題是一個(gè)普遍現(xiàn)象。故C項(xiàng)正確。

（5）B 標(biāo)題概括題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.可知即使你很成功，你的記憶也可能會(huì)作弄你。下文中列舉了很多人都會(huì)有記憶出錯(cuò)的事情。全文敘述的都是記憶出問題的內(nèi)容，所以B項(xiàng)““Tricks” of Memory”是文章恰當(dāng)標(biāo)題。
