人的记忆力生来就有差异吗？请阅读下面短文，完成下列任务。
Some people seem to have an extra-ordinary(非凡的) memory. A “memory athlete” on a TV show can memorize 2,660 numbers in just one hour!
You might think people like this memory athlete have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the United States and the Netherlands（荷兰）, the brain structures of ordinary people and 23 of the world's leading memory athletes show no difference.
That's because memory can be trained. Another study suggests that
anyone can become a skilled memorizer（擅长记忆的人） with just six weeks of hard training.
Researchers found that a technique called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks（古希腊人）, can greatly help improve memory.
The loci technique allows you to use your imagination to build your brain's memory networks（网络）. You can link something you need to remember to a familiar place. For example, to memorize a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each item is linked to a number—zero to the front door, five to the painting on the wall.
In one experiment, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to memorize 72 nouns（名词）. At first, they could only recall 26 of them. But after learning the loci technique, they could remember 62 words.
“Not everyone can become a memory champion（冠军）. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level they're at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the noun-memory experiment.
任务一:请根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
1. What did the study by researchers from the United States and the Netherlands find? （
A. Ancient Greeks had a good memory.
B. Memory athletes have different brain structures.

D. Olympic athletes can remember things better than ordinary people.
2. How does the loci technique work according to Paragraph 5? （
A. By connecting things with number.
B. By repeating words again and again.
C. By writing everything down on paper.
D. By linking things to remember to a familiar place.
3. What can we infer from the noun-memory experiment? （
A. Nouns are easy to remember.
B. The loci technique works better than other methods.
C. Twenty minutes is too short to learn the loci technique.
D. Ordinary people can improve their memory with training.
4. What would be the best title for the passage? （

C. An Ancient Way to Train Your Memory
D. The Reasons Why Some People Have Special Brains
任务二:提升题请根据短文内容和你的思考回答以下问题。

本题为任务型阅读，分为任务一的单项选择题和任务二的开放问答题。解题思路：任务一的4道选择题需回到原文定位对应信息，逐一比对选项与原文内容，选出匹配的正确答案；任务二需结合短文提及的记忆方法或自身实际记忆方法作答，表述合理即可。
【解析】
任务一：
1. 定位原文第二段关键句“the brain structures of ordinary people and 23 of the world's leading memory athletes show no difference”，可知美荷研究发现普通人和顶尖记忆运动员大脑结构无差异，对应选项C。
2. 定位原文第五段关键句“You can link something you need to remember to a familiar place”，说明loci技术是将需记忆内容与熟悉地点关联，对应选项D。
3. 定位原文第六段实验数据：普通人初始能回忆26个名词，学习loci技术后能回忆62个，推断出普通人通过训练可提升记忆，对应选项D。
4. 全文围绕古希腊发明的loci技术（训练记忆的方法）展开，核心是介绍训练记忆的古老方法，对应选项C。
任务二：结合自身实际记忆方法，如利用感官、思维导图等组织信息，符合要求即可，参考答案示例为合理表述。
