Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2019·大连市一模)In a study recently published in the journal Neuron, researchers found that super memorizers don't have unusually large brain regions that allow them to remember a lot of information. 1 . Here are a few of their favorite tricks that can help you to remember things in your everyday life.
To Remember: New words Technique: Change routine
In a study, a group of students studied a list of words in two separate sessions. Some studied in a messy room and some in a neat space. One group of students spent both sessions in the same room, while the other split the sessions between the two environments. During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more. 2 . That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc.
To Remember: Your PIN Technique: Count it out
You could use your birthday, or your phone number, but identity thieves have a way of figuring those numbers out. 3 Write a four-word sentence, then count the number of letters in each word. For instance, “This is my PIN”=4223.
To Remember: Faces Technique: Focus on noses
While some super memorizers specialize in associating names with faces, the
7
memory palace technique doesn't work as well if the image of the face is changed in any way. Rather than focusing on eyes, as most people do, focus on the centre or to the left of a person's nose. 4 .
To Remember: Facts & figures Technique: 5 To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one. If your exam is in a week, study today and then again in a day or two. If it's a month away, study today and then wait a week before your second session.
A.Value exams B.Give yourself time
C.This allows you to take in their whole face D.This brain structures are in fact the same as ours
E.Instead, try this tip from Dominic O'Brien, an eight-time World Memory Champion
F.The theory is that your brain links the words to the environment around you
G.Studies showed that varying other aspects of your environment can also help

1.sunny [考查词形转换。修饰名词一般用形容词,故用形容词sunny修饰其后的名词weekends。]
2.buried [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,bury和其逻辑主语cigarette butts 构成动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式作宾语补足语。]
3.tourists [考查词形转换。结合定语从句的关系词who可知,此处的先行词为表示人的名词,且定语从句中的谓语动词为复数,故用名词复数形式。]
4.where [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,在从句中作地点状语,修饰先行词the place,故填where。]
5.but [考查连词。根据语境可知,空处前后存在逻辑上的转折关系,故用连词but。]
6.for [考查介词。此处考查固定词组be to blame for sth.“对某事负有责任”,故用介词for。]
7.ourselves [考查代词。与句子主语we呼应,此处应用反身代词ourselves作动词blame的宾语。]
8.to solve [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用动词不定式,表目的。]
9.importantly [考查副词。副词一般修饰形容词、副词、动词,甚至整个句子,在句子中作状语。故用副词importantly,修饰整个句子。]
