5.If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time,they become weak.When you start using them again,they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows this.Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one's memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak,we know that it is his own fault.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,many of us think that his parents are to blame,or that he is just unlucky,and few of us realize that it is really his own fault.Not all of us can become very strong or very clever,but all of us can improve our memory by the same means-practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can?Why is this?Of course,because people who can't read or write have to rO5emember things:they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember dates,prices,names,songs and stories,so their memory is exercised all the time.
So if you want a good memory,learn from those who cannot read or write:practise remembering.

分析 本文把人的記憶力和身體部位的使用作比較,把自稱記憶力差的人和不會讀寫如何學習作比較,主要討論的是如何提高我們的記憶力.
解答 25.C,細節(jié)理解題,從本文的第一段When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong可知,當一個人有一段時間不使用他的胳膊和腿,他會變得渾身無力,當他們再次使用胳膊和腿的時候,他們會再次變得強健,如果他們的胳膊和腿虛弱的話,人們知道是他們自身的過錯,但很少的人知道人的記憶也是按照這樣的模式運行的,故本題選C.
26.A,細節(jié)理解題,本文第二段中提到and few of us realize that it is really his own fault,當一個人記憶力差的時候,許多人認為是父母的原因,是自身的不幸,很少的人知道是他們自身的過錯,其實記憶力經(jīng)常使用就會強,不使用就會弱,記憶力差是人們自身的過錯,故本題選A.
27.D,細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子They have to remember dates,prices,names,songs and stories,so their memory is exercised all the time可知,通過不斷的有規(guī)則的記憶就可以擁有一個更好的記憶力,故本題選D.
28.B,主旨大意題,本文把人的記憶力和身體部位的使用作比較,把自稱記憶力差的人和不會讀寫如何學習作比較,主要討論的是如何提高我們的記憶力,故本題選B.
點評 解答任務型閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認真分析,仔細推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準.
