【題目】How to Study Smarter, Not Harder

Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:

Recite As You Study

Reciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.

Take Fuller Notes

Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.

Study the Middle

The best time to review is soon after you’ve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.

Sleep On It

Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It’s easier to remember material you’ve just learned before sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you’ve fallen asleep.

Combine Memory and Understanding

There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.

The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了幾條關(guān)于幫助學(xué)生更快更輕松學(xué)習(xí)的建議：邊學(xué)邊朗讀；做好筆記；注意學(xué)習(xí)中間部分的材料；睡覺前學(xué)習(xí)效率高；理解與記憶相結(jié)合。

【1】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的It will also help you to notice your mistakes（它將幫助你注意你的錯誤）。It指的是reciting，即saying aloud。故選A。

【2】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear.(做筆記應(yīng)用自己的話，要簡明清晰)，這樣有助于幫助你閱讀。故選B。

【3】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)Sleep On It部分的內(nèi)容Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It’s easier to remember material you’ve just learned before sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you’ve fallen asleep.可知，睡覺之前看的東西會更容易記住，因?yàn)槟愕拇竽X會在你睡覺之后繼續(xù)思考這些內(nèi)容，所以要在睡覺前學(xué)習(xí)，故選D。

【4】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)常識可知，從頭到尾不停地閱讀無助于理解，故選C。

【名師點(diǎn)撥】

如何做好推理判斷題？做題時(shí)一定要從整體上把握語篇內(nèi)容，在語篇的表面意義與隱含意義、已知信息與未知信息間架起橋梁，透過字里行間，去體會作者的弦外之音�？忌�在閱讀時(shí)，要抓住文章的主題和細(xì)節(jié)，分析文章結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，挖掘文章的深層含義。在進(jìn)行推理時(shí)，考生一定要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，千萬不可脫離原文而僅憑個人的看法，主觀臆斷。47.【3】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的It’s easier to remember material you’ve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity,從中可知睡醒后更容易記住所學(xué)材料，所以應(yīng)一起來就學(xué)習(xí)。故選D。
