Question

“Memorize (記住) these words.” “Learn this spelling rule.” “Don’t forget about the exam tomorrow.” You remember things every day, but how do you do it?

?? When you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term (短暫的) memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about half a minute. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it. This information is in your long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years. The major reason for forgetting something is because you do not learn it well at the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and right away you forget their names. You hear the names but you do not learn them, so you forget them.

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。聯(lián)系原文：you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term (短暫的) memory to remember the number.句意：你看的號(hào)碼電話簿。您撥打的號(hào)碼，然后忘了它！你用你的短期記憶記住號(hào)碼。分析問題每天記住了，不久又忘記了，這就是運(yùn)用了短期記憶，故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)分析題。問題：長(zhǎng)期記憶能持續(xù)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間？原文：Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years. 句意：你的長(zhǎng)期記憶有你記得多年來的一切。表明一點(diǎn)，長(zhǎng)久記憶就是終身記憶，故選 C。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：長(zhǎng)期記憶包括什么？原文：Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years. 句意：你的長(zhǎng)期記憶有你記得多年來的一切。故選C。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：帶下劃線的單詞“dial”的中文意思是什么？原文：When you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it!句意：當(dāng)你想打電話給商店或辦公室，你不經(jīng)常打，你看的號(hào)碼電話簿。您撥打的號(hào)碼，然后忘了它！分析前提到撥打電話，此處提到查閱電話簿，接下的動(dòng)作就是撥打電話了，所以是撥打的意思。故選A。

5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：通過這篇短文，人們忘記事情的主要原因是什么？聯(lián)系原文：The major reason for forgetting something is because you do not learn it well at the beginning.句意：忘記什么東西的主要理由是因?yàn)槟阍陂_始的時(shí)候并沒有理解的好。故選D。
