①Have you ever been asked to remember a list of words? If so, you might find that it's easier to remember the very first words and the very last words on the list, but you cannot remember the middle part very clearly. This is because the "primacy effect(首因效应)" is at work. The primacy effect means that you tend(倾向) to remember the very first and very last things on a list better than the things in the middle.
② ______ The big reason is that people tend to rehearse(默诵) things to remember them. This means people find it easier to remember what is shown early because they have practised the beginning more than things in the middle. In one piece of study, when people are told not to rehearse or are not given enough time to rehearse, the primacy effect disappears.
③Another reason is to do with attention span. People tend to pay attention to the beginning and the end of the presentation, so things in the beginning are more likely to be remembered. Thinking back to the last conversation you had, the paragraph you read, or the show you watched, you probably paid attention to both the beginning and the end, but in the middlezoned out at some point.
④Knowing the power of the primacy effect might help you a lot in life. If there is something that you want to stress: say it first, say it last, or both! This is when it is most likely to be remembered. As a student, you can change the order of the words on a list so that you can store everything in your long-term memory. Also, try paying attention to the difficult point at the beginning of your study and summarize each time span with another quick review of that point.
⑤So the next time you want to make a good impression, or prepare for an exam, remember to put the above to good use.

答案
训练5 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了产生首因效应的两个原因和首因效应对人们的帮助。1. A 【解析】补全文章题。根据第二段“The big reason is that people tend to rehearse things to remember them.”可知重要原因是人们为了记住事物倾向于默诵,由此可推知上文应询问产生首因效应的原因。故选A。2. B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据语境“you probably paid attention to both the beginning and the end, but in the middle zoned out at some point”中的转折关系可知你可能会关注开头和结尾,但是中间的信息可能不会关注,即对中间的信息关注度低。故选B。3. B 【解析】篇章结构题。结合文章内容可知,第一段举例介绍首因效应的含义;第二、三段介绍产生首因效应的两个原因;第四段介绍首因效应对人们的帮助;最后一段概括全文。故选B。4. D 【解析】标题归纳题。结合文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了产生首因效应的两个原因和首因效应对人们的帮助,首因效应是一个好的记忆方法,D项作为标题最合适。故选D。
