Question

【題目】閱讀下文并回答問(wèn)題。
Some people seem to have extraordinary (非凡的）memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!
You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the US and the Netherlands, the brain structures（結(jié)構(gòu)）of ordinary people and 23 of the world's leading memory athletes show no difference.
That's because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron (神經(jīng)元期刊) suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training.
Researchers found that technique (技巧）called loci, invented by ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory. By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain's memory networks. You can link（關(guān)聯(lián)）something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be handle（把手）on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.
In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 words. First they could only remember 26 of them. But when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.
“Not everyone can become a memory champion. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level they're at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.
（1）Is Super Brain a TV show?

（2）Who was loci invented by?

（3）How can you remember more words in twenty minutes according to Paragraph 5?

（4）Is loci helpful to you? Why or why not?

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）Yes. / Yes, it is.
（2）By (the) ancient Greeks./Ancient Greeks./ The ancient Greeks.
（3）By using loci. I can remember more words by using loci. I can remember more words by being taught loci.
（4）Yes. Because it can help me remember more words. Yes. Because it can improve my memory./....No. Because I have some better ways to improve my memory./.....
【解析】有些人有著超凡的記憶力。參加過(guò)《最強(qiáng)大腦》電視節(jié)目的鄭愛(ài)強(qiáng)，一個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)能記住2660個(gè)數(shù)字。研究表明，人的大腦差異并不明顯，他們是經(jīng)過(guò)專(zhuān)門(mén)的訓(xùn)練而獲得超凡的記憶力的。古希臘人發(fā)明的位置記憶法可以大大提高人的記憶能力。并非每個(gè)人都能成為記憶冠軍，但使用這種技術(shù)每個(gè)人都能從他們?cè)�有的水平上提高很多�?/span>
（1）根據(jù)短文中的句子“Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!”可知，《最強(qiáng)大腦》是一檔電視節(jié)目。所以答案是Yes. / Yes, it is.
（2）根據(jù)短文的第四段開(kāi)頭的句子“Researchers found that technique (技巧）called loci, invented by ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.”可知，位置記憶法是古希臘人發(fā)明的，所以答案是By (the) ancient Greeks./Ancient Greeks./ The ancient Greeks.
（3）根據(jù)短文第五段最后的句子“But when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.”可知，運(yùn)用位置記憶法可以在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)記住更多地單詞。所以答案是By using loci. I can remember more words by using loci. I can remember more words by being taught loci.
（4）答案不唯一，只要給出合理的解釋即可。
