Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Yellowstone National Park.文章內(nèi)容an easy day hike or boat trip can turn into a battle for survival.
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口訣表) are an exception（例外） to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突擊學(xué)習(xí))for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

（4）A
【解析】本文是一篇議論文。成年人常常驚嘆他們能很好地記著兒時學(xué)過的東西。作者認為這是兒時過度學(xué)習(xí)的結(jié)果，是因為當我們兒時學(xué)會一樣?xùn)|西的時候，我們不是就此停止，而是繼續(xù)練習(xí)，才使我們記憶深刻。文章用例證法說明了過度學(xué)習(xí)的概念。 最后作者談到了過度學(xué)習(xí)的好處和突擊學(xué)習(xí)的弊端。
（1）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.”可知，本文講得是成年人常常驚嘆他們非常好的記著兒時學(xué)過的東西。C、D斷章取義，講得太具體，B項錯誤，因為那是過度學(xué)習(xí)的結(jié)果，不是兒時記憶力好。所以A正確。
（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容，作者講述了自己童年的經(jīng)歷，再根據(jù)最后一段中的“We not only learn but overlearn.”可知作者是解釋過度學(xué)習(xí)理論。故選C。
（3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.”可知，學(xué)會乘法口訣也是過度學(xué)習(xí)的一個結(jié)果。故選B。
（4）考查觀點態(tài)度。根據(jù)最后一段中的“By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.”可知：突擊學(xué)習(xí)只在有限的方面有幫助。所以A正確。
