Question

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then he paused in horror._ 1._

Barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn't remember where she'd put it.

__2.__ Most people have. But memory can be developed.

First, relax. If you're overanxious about remembering something, you'll forget it._ 3.__ Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.

Second, avoid being negative. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won't remember things. When you forget something, don't say, “Gee, I need to have my brain rewired(重裝電線)．”

To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be strengthened through exercise.__ 4.__ For example, if you're learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.

You may also want to make associations, or links, between what you're trying to remember and things you already know. For example, if you need to catch a plane at 2：00 p．m., you can imagine a plane in your mind and notice that it has two wings.__ 5._

【解析】

試題分析：如果忘事怎么辦呢？第一，放松身心。第二，避免消極。你要積極應(yīng)對(duì)，盡可能要把你想記住的和你已經(jīng)知道的事情聯(lián)系起來(lái)。

1.考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。空前一句的意思是Mark開(kāi)始向觀眾介紹嘉賓，但是他在恐怖中停頓了一下。后面應(yīng)該是害怕的原因，所以選B （他忘記了她的名字。）。

2.考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。根據(jù)空前介紹的另一個(gè)人也是忘了藏起來(lái)的珠寶。，后面又說(shuō)大多數(shù)人有過(guò)類(lèi)似的經(jīng)歷。所以選C（也許你有過(guò)這樣的經(jīng)歷。）。

3.考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。根據(jù)空前的意思：第一，放松身心。如果你著急想起什么，你會(huì)忘記它。空后提到深呼吸，告訴自己你有的是時(shí)間來(lái)記住。與G（放松將幫助改善您的認(rèn)識(shí)和集中精力的能力。）所表達(dá)的意思前后連貫。

4.考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力�？涨暗囊馑际牵合衲愕纳眢w，你的記憶可以通過(guò)鍛煉加強(qiáng)�？蘸竺媸桥e例說(shuō)明：如果你正在學(xué)習(xí)一種語(yǔ)言，努力記住不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞。所以選D（尋找機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)鍛煉你的記憶。）。

5.考查上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力。空前的意思是：聯(lián)想飛機(jī)有兩個(gè)翅膀和兩點(diǎn)結(jié)合起來(lái)，與F（現(xiàn)在你比以前更容易十倍地記住起飛時(shí)間。）前后意思連貫。

考點(diǎn)：信息匹配。
