Question

【題目】Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 【1】(help) if you say the words aloud. But this often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.

Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have come up 【2】a new idea. They suggest 【3】(draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!

The researchers did a study 【4】(base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 【5】the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.

When the time 【6】(be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 【7】they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 【8】(good) job than those who wrote them.

So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 【9】(draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 【10】(research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.

【解析】單詞難記是一個(gè)普遍的問題，研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)把你所要記的東西用圖畫的形式畫出來會(huì)大大提高你的記憶能力。

【1】考查形容詞。句意：如果你大聲說單詞可能有用。此處用形容詞作表語，故填helpful。

【2】考查介詞。此處為固定搭配，come up with“提出，想出”。

【3】考查動(dòng)名詞。此處為suggest的用法，suggest doing sth建議做某事，后接動(dòng)名詞，故填drawing。

【4】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。此處為非謂語動(dòng)詞，base的邏輯主語是study，且兩者是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填based。

【5】考查連詞。此處為非限制性定語從句，此處指代前文中的40秒，前面又有during這個(gè)介詞，故用which。

【6】考查時(shí)態(tài)。此處是前文提到的實(shí)驗(yàn)研究，用過去時(shí)描述的，故此處也為過去時(shí)，主語是單數(shù)，故填was。

【7】考查固定短語。此處前面有一個(gè)as，是固定短語：as many as和……一樣多。

【8】考查比較級(jí)。此處為比較級(jí)，因?yàn)橛衪han這個(gè)詞的提示，故填better。

【9】考查祈使句。句意：因此下次你很難記住單詞的時(shí)候，把它畫下來。此處根據(jù)意思是祈使句，為作者的建議，故填動(dòng)詞原形，draw。

【10】考查名詞。此處作主語，表示人，故填researchers，意為“研究者”。
