Passage 7
Most adults find it hard to remember the things that happened when they were children. Now scientists have found exactly when these memories 1 (appear).
2 new study has found that most three-year-old children can remember a lot of what happened to them a year 3 (early), and these memories are still clear when they are 5 and 6, but by the time they are over 7, these memories become weak quickly.
Most children by the age of 8 or 9 can only remember 35% of their experiences from under the age of 3 according 4 the new study.
Scientists say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of 7, children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. 5, for older children, the early things they can remember become more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a much faster rate of 6 (forget) than adults. The discoveries also help to explain 7 children can often have clear memories of what they have done, but then forget them just several years later.
The children were organized to the laboratory for the first time at the age of 3 and 8 (recall) 6 impressed things from their past, such as the 9 (one) relaxing trip with their family. The children then returned for a second period between the ages of 5 and 9 10 (discuss) the same things. Here are the 11 (view). Between the ages of 5 and 7, the amount of memories that the children could remember was between 63% and 72%. However, between the ages of 8 and 9, the amount of
memories that the children could remember fell to between 35% and 36%.

解析
【分析】
本题为英语语法填空题，需结合上下文语境、语法规则（冠词、介词、连词、非谓语动词、时态、名词形式等）逐个分析填空。解题思路：先通读全文理解大意，再针对每个空的句子结构、所需词性、固定搭配及逻辑关系逐一推导：1. 结合前文成年人难记童年事，推断记忆“消失”的时间；2. 泛指一项研究用不定冠词；3. 表示“一年前”用固定搭配；4. 固定短语“according to”；5. 前后句转折关系选连词；6. 介词后接动名词；7. 宾语从句表原因用引导词；8. 被动语态并列过去分词；9. 序数词表“第一次”；10. 不定式作目的状语；11. 谓语复数对应主语用名词复数。
【解析】
1. 第1空：前文提到成年人难记童年事，可知此处指科学家发现这些记忆“消失”的时间，故填disappear。
2. 第2空：此处泛指“一项新研究”，new以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词A。
3. 第3空：“a year earlier”是固定表达，意为“一年前”，符合语境，故填earlier。
4. 第4空：“according to”是固定短语，意为“根据”，故填to。
5. 第5空：前文说七岁前孩子无时间地点感，后文说大孩子的记忆更像成人，前后为转折关系且空格后有逗号，故填However。
6. 第6空：of是介词，后接动名词作宾语，forget的动名词形式为forgetting，故填forgetting。
7. 第7空：此处宾语从句解释原因，用why引导表“为什么”，故填why。
8. 第8空：此处为被动语态，and连接并列过去分词，与organized并列，故填recalled。
9. 第9空：此处表示“第一次放松的旅行”，用序数词first，故填first。
10. 第10空：不定式作目的状语，说明返回的目的，故填to discuss。
11. 第11空：谓语动词为are，主语需用复数形式，view的复数为views，故填views。
【答案】
1. disappear；2. A；3. earlier；4. to；5. However；6. forgetting；7. why；8. recalled；9. first；10. to discuss；11. views
