Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

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, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. 【1】 When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. 【2】 One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.

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 just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. 【3】 But all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means— practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? 【4】 It’s because those who cannot read or write have to remember things. They cannot write them down in a little notebook and they have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time 【5】 .

A. What do you think of it?

B. Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.

C. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever.

D. So if you want a good memory, practice remembering.

E. Someone else says that he is poor in health.

F. Why is this?

G. The position is exactly the same as that of two people.

【1】B考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly記憶力好的人也是因?yàn)槎嘤昧擞洃�，B選項(xiàng)Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.記憶力也是一樣的，符合，故選B。

【2】G考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下文One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.講到了打乒乓鍛煉和開車的兩個人的區(qū)別，G選項(xiàng)The position is exactly the same as that of two people.涉及到兩個人，符合，故選G。

【3】C考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)But all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means— practice.但是所有人都能通過鍛煉來增強(qiáng)力量和加強(qiáng)記憶，C選項(xiàng)Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever.不是所有人都能變得超級強(qiáng)壯和聰明，符合，故選C。

【4】F考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)It’s because those who cannot read or write have to remember things.這是因?yàn)槟切┎粫�寫和讀的人需要記住東西，F(xiàn)選項(xiàng)Why is this?為什么會這樣，符合，故選F。

【5】D考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)so their memory is being exercised the whole time 所以他們的記憶力是一直在被鍛煉的，D選項(xiàng)So if you want a good memory, practice remembering.如果你想要有個好的記憶力，鍛煉記憶，符合，故選D。
