三、补全短文
The sun is going down while children laugh and run through the waves. You lift your phone to catch this beautiful moment. A photo seems like the best way to keep the memory. 1
Elizabeth Loftus, a famous scientist, points out that too many photos can lower the brain's ability to remember. We may keep the picture but lose the feeling of the moment itself. 2 When they know a picture is saved, they make less effort to remember. It is like writing down a phone number and then forgetting it because you believe the paper will always stay safe. Another reason is the attention we give to the act of taking a photo. While trying to find the perfect smile and a clear background, our minds are busy with these small things. 3 As a result, the action that seems to protect the memory can steal the chance to experience it fully.
4 If a person takes a picture carefully and focuses on the small things, like the colour of the sky, the shapes of the clouds, it can actually make his memory stronger. Later, when we look at those pictures, they can help us recall events more correctly and even bring back feelings that might be less bright.
So, the next time you raise your phone, stop for a moment. 5 A photo can be a powerful tool to help memory, but only when it is taken with care and purpose.

本题为英语补全短文题，需结合上下文的逻辑关系（转折、因果等）匹配选项。解题思路：先通读全文把握主旨（拍照对记忆的影响），再逐个分析每个空前后内容，根据逻辑衔接选择合适的句子。第1空需承接前文“照片是保存记忆的好方式”并引出后文科学家的转折观点；第2空需匹配后文“依赖照片就不努力记忆”的原因；第3空需对应前文“注意力在拍照细节”的结果；第4空需转折引出后文“认真拍照有益”的内容；第5空需承接前文“停下”的动作，引出思考拍照目的的内容。
【解析】
1. 第1空：前文提到“照片似乎是保存记忆的最佳方式”，后文转折阐述科学家的观点（过多照片降低记忆能力），需转折引出该观点的句子，对应选项F。
2. 第2空：后文说明“人们知道照片被保存后就不努力记忆”，原因是依赖相机，对应选项A。
3. 第3空：前文提到“注意力在拍照的小细节”，后文是结果“没注意周围的声音、气味等”，对应选项C。
4. 第4空：后文阐述认真拍照的好处，需转折说明拍照不总是有问题，对应选项B。

四、阅读理解
New research coming out of Tohoku University says that wasabi（芥末）is good for the ability to remember. Wasabi, a spicy green paste, is widely used in Japanese dishes.
A recent study tested people between the ages of sixty and eighty. Some of the test members took a certain amount of wasabi every night before going to bed. The others were given a placebo（无效对照剂）. After three months, the people who took the wasabi had much better results in memory tests. The placebo-takers did not show any improvement.
Wasabi was already known to have an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory called 6-MSITC that is rare（稀少）in other plants. Scientists believe 6-MSITC might change how the brain's memory centre—hippocampus（海马体）works. They will continue researching with the hope that wasabi can help people that are experiencing dementia（痴呆症）.
This new research seems to be good news for sushi-eaters. However, ▲. Instead, it is white horseradish（辣根酱）that has been coloured green. Real wasabi is difficult to grow and, as a result, is very expensive. It also needs to be made and served fresh at once before being eaten.
