新素材 大脑的隐形记忆（2026·九江月考）
What is your earliest memory? Perhaps pictures of a birthday party come to mind, or maybe a long-ago family trip. Now think about how old you were when it happened. You may find that your earliest memory comes no further back than your third birthday. For most people, anything that happened before they were 3.5 years old is a blank slate(白板).
As scientists continue to learn more and more about the brain, the questions of how far back we can remember and how those memories influence us as adults are coming into focus. Every experience is put into memory and seems to have a lasting influence. Our feelings when we were babies influence us for the long term.
Besides the childhood stories we can remember, there are many different kinds of "memories". We all know the terms "short-term memory" and "long-term memory". But have you heard the terms "explicit memory" and "implicit memory"?
Explicit memory is the kind of memory that is conscious(有意识的) and gives us the ability to tell a story that makes sense of what happened. This type of memory only develops fully in most people around the age of three. Implicit memory starts in our brain from birth, or possibly even earlier. However, it is not conscious. While we may not remember the events of those earliest memories, they have left a lasting impression on our thinking, feelings, and behavior.
Because of the ability our brain has to store and hold information from a very early age,
scientists today are paying more and more attention to creating good early childhood memories. We might not remember learning to walk, but our legs and feet seem to do this perfectly now. Just like this, some of our most important lessons were learned at a time that our bodies, not our minds, can remember.
1. What does "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A painting.
B. A family.
C. The third birthday.
D. The earliest memory.
2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. It's useless to learn a baby's memory.
B. Happy experiences are easy to remember.
C. Anything in our memory may influence our adult life.
D. People have no interest in their feelings as babies.
3. What's the difference between explicit memory and implicit memory?
A. Whether people like them.
B. Whether people record them.
C. Whether people are aware of them.
D. Whether people are influenced by them.
4. 新考法 写作手法 How does the writer explain the influence of early childhood memories?
A. By asking a question.
B. By giving an example.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By making a comparison.
5. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. The latest news on memories
B. Advice on improving memories
C. The importance of a good memory
D. Childhood memories and their influence

答案
1.D 2.C 3.C 4.B 5.D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人类最早记忆的年龄限制，区分了外显记忆和内隐记忆的概念，并指出早期经历即使不被有意识地记住，也会对成年后产生深远影响。
1 D 解析:代词指代题。根据第一段“What is your earliest memory? Perhaps pictures ... Now think about how old you were when it happened.”可知,it 指代的是前文提到的“earliest memory”。故选 D。
2 C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段“Every experience is put into memory and seems to have a lasting influence. Our feelings when we were babies influence us for the long term.”可知,任何记忆中的经历都可能影响成年生活。故选 C。
3 C 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段“Explicit memory is the kind of memory that is conscious ... Implicit memory starts in our brain from birth ... it is not conscious.”可知,两者的区别在于是否“有意识地”被记住。故选 C。
4 B 解析:写作手法题。根据最后一段“We might not remember learning to walk, but our legs and feet seem to do this perfectly now.”可知,作者通过举身体记住走路而大脑不记得的例子,来说明早期经历的影响方式。故选 B。
5 D 解析:标题归纳题。全文围绕童年早期记忆的年龄界限、记忆类型及其对成年后的影响展开,D项“童年记忆及其影响”最能概括文章主旨。故选 D。
