【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文閱讀，記憶是可以通過練習(xí)改善的，但很多時(shí)候記憶也會(huì)出錯(cuò)。文章中列舉了多個(gè)記憶出錯(cuò)的現(xiàn)象。

【1】C 根據(jù)橫線前句Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise.記憶是可以通過不斷地練習(xí)來提高的。也就是說如果你很努力，你就可以提高你記住事情的能力。這是對(duì)前一句的強(qiáng)化說明。故C項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】G 根據(jù)橫線后句One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before早晨起來的時(shí)候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)前門沒有關(guān)閉，而我清楚地記得我把門關(guān)了起來。這是記憶出錯(cuò)的問題，我們會(huì)記住一些實(shí)際上并沒有發(fā)生的事情。故G項(xiàng)正確。

【3】B 第二段告訴我們我們記住了一些實(shí)際上并沒有發(fā)生的事情。再根據(jù)橫線后句Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did.我們卻會(huì)忘記之前記得的事情。所以B項(xiàng)“Memory “trick” work the other way as well.”符合上下文串聯(lián)，尤其與第二段一致。

【4】A 根據(jù)橫線前句We always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness.可知我們總是能發(fā)現(xiàn)一些由人們的健忘而導(dǎo)致的有趣的事情。因?yàn)檫@些事情總是很有意思，人們從不厭煩。故A項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】F 根據(jù)橫線前句Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny.可知這些記憶出錯(cuò)的事情并不總是有趣的，也會(huì)帶來很多的麻煩。故F項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。
