一、在学习的过程中,好的记忆力会对学习产生重要的影响。阅读下文,一起来了解记忆力的重要性。
(2025·扬州市华君外国语学校期中)① Memory is the ability to remember things. A good memory can help us do better in school, such as language learning. A few people are born with amazing memories, but most people need to improve their memories by practising. Here are some secrets about memories.
② We can still remember things which happened in our childhood but not those last week. In fact, if the things have strong connections with our feelings in our mind, we can remember them longer. When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell them the interesting or funny stories from their childhood again and again. As a result, they remember them much better.
③ It's natural for common people to forget the new words which they learnt yesterday. Hermann Ebbinghaus wrote a book called Memory and showed a famous forgetting curve. According to him, the quickest loss(失去) of memory happens during the first two days after learning. That means going over what we've learnt during this time can help us to remember the information very well.
④ A fifteen-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn't mean his or her memory is getting worse. Our memory gets to the top at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember over 12,000 pieces of information in a minute. But after this age, the brain starts to get smaller. By middle age, our memory is much worse than when we were young.

a. Because the children were special. b. Because they got strong feelings from those things. c. Because those things were helpful. d. Because they heard those things many times.

【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题,需结合原文内容解答3道题目:第1题是细节理解题,需定位原文第二段,找出儿童易记住童年事情的原因;第2题是细节理解题,需定位原文第四段提取关键信息;第3题是篇章结构题,需梳理文章各段落的逻辑关系,判断结构类型。
【解析】
1. 第1题:根据原文第二段“if the things have strong connections with our feelings in our mind, we can remember them longer. When things happen for the first time, children often have strong feelings. Also, parents tell them the interesting or funny stories from their childhood again and again.”可知,儿童记童年事情的原因是有强烈的情感联系(对应b),以及反复听这些故事(对应d),所以选B。
2. 第2题:根据原文第四段“Our memory gets to the top at the age of 25.”可知,人的记忆力在25岁时达到巅峰,对应选项A;B选项错误,第四段提到中年时记忆力比年轻时差,15岁比中年好;C选项错误,大脑变小是记忆力变差的原因之一,并非唯一原因;D选项错误,是25岁时能记住12000条信息,不是儿童。
3. 第3题:文章第一段总领全文,引出记忆力的主题;第二、三、四段分别从儿童记忆、遗忘曲线、年龄与记忆力三个方面并列展开,属于总-分结构,对应选项D的结构(1为总起,2、3、4为分述)。
【答案】
1. B;2. A;3. D
