Question

【题目】If you don’t use your arms or your legs, they become weak; when you start using them again, they 【1】 (slow) become strong again. Everyone knows that. Yet many people don’t seem to know that memory works in 【2】 same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really 【3】 (mean) that he keeps his memory in practice by using 【4】. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance 【5】 (become) strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are 【6】 (blame), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can^ read or write but usually they have 【7】 (good) memories? This is 【8】 they can’t read or write and they have to remember days, names, songs and 【9】 (story), so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from them. Practice 【10】 (remember) things in a way as these people do.

【解析】本文主要讲了记忆要经常练习，人们才会拥有好的记忆力。

【1】考查副词。修饰动词become，用副词，所以填slowly。

【2】考查固定短语。然而，很多人不知道，记忆也是以同样的方式工作的。the same way同样的方式，是固定短语，所以填the。

【3】考查时态。全文都用的一般现在时，所以这里也要用一般现在时，且主语he是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词也用单数，填means。

【4】考查代词。他真正的意思是他一直通过使用它，来锻炼他的记忆。指代his memory，所以用it。

【5】考查不定式。表示“为了变得牢固”，作目的状语，用不定式，所以填to become。

【6】考查固定短语。be to blame该受责备，应承担责任，是固定短语，所以填to blame。

【7】考查比较级。你有没有发现不会读、不会写的人通常会拥有更好的记忆力。表示“更好”，用比较级，所以填better。

【8】考查连词。那是因为他们不会读，不会写。他们就不得不记住日子、名字、歌曲和故事。表示“因为”，所以填because。

【9】考查名词单复数。那是因为他们不会读，不会写。他们就不得不记住日子、名字、歌曲和故事。“故事”是复数意义，所以填stories。

【10】考查固定用法。practice doing练习做某事，是固定用法，所以填remembering。
