Question

It often seems that people have a hard time in speaking a seemingly familiar name. Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it? When this happened，what did you do? Next time this happens again，what should you do?
You should not try to recall it. Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head. Why? The name is just there, since you have met this person and learned his name. It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial(最初的) effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious (下意識(shí)的) activities that go to work to dig up a dim（模糊的）memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.
That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. At the same time, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.
You see, forcing ourselves to think hard to recall something usually doesn’t help. Chances are that the harder we think, the more difficulty we face in thinking of what we want to. Offering our mind time to work is what we are expected to do.

試題分析: 你有沒有遇到這種情況，一個(gè)熟悉的名字就在嘴邊然而卻叫不出來，而且越是使勁想就越想不出呢？在文中作者針對(duì)這種情況從科學(xué)角度進(jìn)行了分析，也提出了應(yīng)對(duì)方法，即 ：想不起來時(shí)就不要刻意去想，要讓大腦有個(gè)準(zhǔn)備過程，然后你要想的東西自然就出現(xiàn)了。
小題1: fail 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章首句Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it?可知人們有時(shí)候就在嘴邊的名字卻叫不上來。所以填fail。
小題2: supposed 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章第二段You should not try to recall it.可知當(dāng)這種情況發(fā)生時(shí)，不應(yīng)該努力去想，所以填supposed。Be supposed to do意思是“應(yīng)該做某事”。
小題3: instead 信息查找題。從文中Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head可知此處填instead。
小題4:Reason/Cause 信息歸納題。從文中Why? It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious activities that go to work to dig up a dimmemory.可以知道此處指出了原因。所以填Reason/Cause.
小題5: tight 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。從第二段Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it. 可知強(qiáng)迫自己去想會(huì)讓大腦緊張。所以填tight。
小題6: help 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。從文章第三段That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations.可知help為正確答案。
小題7: Meanwhile 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)文章第三段At the same time,可知此處是指“同時(shí)”所以填Meanwhile。
小題8:happening 信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。從文章中deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place可以知道潛意識(shí)在進(jìn)行著，所以填happening。
小題9: Conclusion /Summary 信息歸納題。根據(jù)以上對(duì)這種情況的分析，此處作者做出總結(jié)，所以填conclusion /Summary。
小題10: dug 信息查找題。根據(jù)文中第二段It, waiting there, only has to be dug out.可知填dug。
