题型：不详难度：来源：

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don"t forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don"t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new informati6n immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I"m Carlos," don"t just say "Hello." Repeat the person"s name. Say"___________"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it"s hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember ever and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you"ve learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what"s right and what"s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone"s memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

解析

试题分析：这篇文章告诉我们人类的大脑只有1.4千克重，但是它能容纳的信息量比电脑还要多。只不过我们记忆的东西很容易遗忘掉。文章给我们介绍了六种改善记忆力的方法——重复别人的名字、将很长的数字分段记忆、反复书写要记忆的公式或数据、经常复习回忆、与人一起讨论、不暗示自己记忆力差而是主动训练记忆力。只要遵照这些执行，就能改善记忆力。
小题1:A推理判断题。根据前句的“Repeat the person"s name”可以得知答案选Hello, Carlos.选A。
小题2:B段落大意题。第三段Break a big number into smaller parts.后面举例将一大数分成三段记忆更容易。A. To store it in a computer.把它储存在电脑里； B. To break it into smaller parts.把它拆成小的片段C. To discuss it with a friend. 与朋友一起讨论；D. To review it before you sleep.睡觉前复习。故选B。
小题3:A主旨大意题。这题考查全文的主要意思，根据全文来判断哪一句符合文章内容。A. Discussing with friends can help you remember things.与朋友讨论可以帮助你记住事情；B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep.总是复习知识能帮你入睡；C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain.公式和事实能帮助你了解你的大脑；D. Human beings can improve their memory by computer.人类能通过计算机改善他们的记忆。A答案符合文章意思。故选A。
小题4:D段落大意题。题目的意思是“千万不要对自己说你的记忆力不好。”该段的后文说记忆力是可以改善的，常用就能更好，所以要有信心。选项A的意思是 You should tell others about your bad memory.你应该告诉别人你的记忆力不好；选项B的意思是 You should believe in other people all the time.你应该始终相信别人；选项C的意思是 You should ask others to improve their memory.你应该请别人改善他们的记忆力；选项D的意思是 You should have confidence in your memory ability.你应该对你的教育能力有信心。总结这一段的段落大意可知答案是D。

We’ve talked about snails（蜗牛） and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells —sleeping.
　　Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.
　　In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers, are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.
　　A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin. Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
