18、start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory（
19、记忆力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错 ). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备 ), and few of us know that
20、it is just his own fault.

23、 true A Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs. B Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you dont give it enough chance for practice. C Dont learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. D A good memory comes from more practice. 【小题 4】 Some people can

25、 Using Your Arms or Legs B How to Have a Good Memory C Strong Arms and Good Memories D Learn From the People 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 C 【小题 5】 B 试题分析： 【小题 1】细节题。第一段 When someone else says that his memory（记忆力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become stro
26、ng.当另一个人说他的记忆力是差的时，实际上，他并没有给它足够多的机会来使它变得强大。可知，一个人的记忆力差，是因为记忆没有被经常使用。故选 C 【小题 2】细节题。第一段 If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again.如果你一段时间不使用你的胳膊或腿，他们会变得很乏力；当你再开始使用它们的时候，它们会慢慢变得强壮起来。故选 C 【小题 3】判断题。你的记忆力的使用原

28、ings they cannot write down in a little notebook.这是因为他们不能读或写，所以不得不记住他们不能记在笔记本上的事情。可知，他们不得不一直使用他们的记忆力。故选 C 【小题 5】主旨题。本文主要讲的是，正如胳膊和腿，人的记忆力如果长时间不使用，就会变得很差。因此，如果一个人要想拥有好的记忆力，就必须更多的使用它。可知，本文的标题最好是：如何拥有好的记忆力。故选 B 考点：说明文 点评：本文着重介绍了如何增强记忆力，并通过和自己的手臂、腿进行类比进一步形象的说明如何来提高记忆力。文章意思明朗，所出的题目也不难，答题时学生牢记紧扣文章，将答案：在文章中

39、 meters in 24 hours!一个日本科学家记录出竹子每天能生长 1.5米，可知，竹子 3天能成长 4.5米。故 B是正确的。 从第一段 Many people call this plant a tree可知，许多的人将这种植物称为树，而不是不是所有人，夸大其词，故 A错误。 竹子也有不同的颜色，有黄色、黑色和绿色。 C选项讲竹子生长时会改变颜色，与原文不符 ,故 C错误。第四段 As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索 ) hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are ma
