Question

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that 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 using it. When someone else says that his memory（記憶力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過錯). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

試題分析：
小題1:細節(jié)題。第一段When someone else says that his memory（記憶力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.當另一個人說他的記憶力是差的時，實際上，他并沒有給它足夠多的機會來使它變得強大�？芍�，一個人的記憶力差，是因為記憶沒有被經(jīng)常使用。故選C
小題2:細節(jié)題。第一段If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again.如果你一段時間不使用你的胳膊或腿，他們會變得很乏力；當你再開始使用它們的時候，它們會慢慢變得強壯起來。故選C
小題3:判斷題。你的記憶力的使用原理和你的胳膊、腿的使用原理是同樣的。從Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.可知，A正確。
像胳膊和腿一樣，如果你不給記憶力足夠多的機會去使用，你的記憶力會變得很差，B正確。如果你想要擁有一個更好的記憶力，就不要學習如何去讀寫，從最后兩句可知，C錯誤。一個好的記憶力來自于更多的練習。從文章最后一句可知，D正確。故選C
小題4:細節(jié)題。從This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they cannot write down in a little notebook.這是因為他們不能讀或?qū)�，所以不得不記住他們不能記在筆記本上的事情�？芍�，他們不得不一直使用他們的記憶力。故選C
小題5:主旨題。本文主要講的是，正如胳膊和腿，人的記憶力如果長時間不使用，就會變得很差。因此，如果一個人要想擁有好的記憶力，就必須更多的使用它�？芍�，本文的標題最好是：如何擁有好的記憶力。故選B
點評：本文著重介紹了如何增強記憶力，并通過和自己的手臂、腿進行類比進一步形象的說明如何來提高記憶力。文章意思明朗，所出的題目也不難，答題時學生牢記緊扣文章，將答案在文章中畫出來再一一作答，定能夠答得很好。
