Testing is good way of 【8】 (make) yourself remember new information. In 2018, researchers found that students who took a test before learning a new material did much better after studying the material.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学习小技巧：学习前做这3件事可以有效提高记忆力和学习能力。

【1】

考查形容词。句意：我们会探究一些有用的，无成本的事情。修饰名词things，前用形容词形式。故填useful。

【2】

考查非谓语动词。句意：在学习前要考虑三个重要的事情：运动、学习地点和学前测试。修饰抽象名词ideas，常用不定式作后置定语。故填to think。

【3】

考查冠词。句意：到目前为止，研究人员建议结合这两种方法来达到最佳的记忆效果。这里用定冠词the，特指上文中提到的cardiovascular exercise和violent exercise这两种运动。故填the。

【4】

考查主谓一致和时态。名词exercise作“锻炼”是不可数名词，且陈述客观事实，所以后用一般现在时的单数形式。故填is。

【5】

考查名词。句意：研究人员发现，环境对人们记忆单词的能力起着很大的作用。宾语从句中，从句缺少主语，所以用名词作主语。surroundings表示“环境”。故填surroundings。

【6】

考查代词。句中用it作形式主语，真正的主语为不定式to have a desk or a special study area。故填it。

【7】

考查比较级。句意：一些研究表明，改变学习地点可以帮助你记住更多所学内容。结合句意可知，这里用比较级形式。故填more。

【8】

考查非谓语动词。介词of后接动名词形式。故填making。

【9】

考查语态。此句为定语从句，先行词为students在定语从句中作主语，与从句中动词ask之间为被动关系，所以用被动形式。结合主句可知，用一般过去式。故填were asked。

【10】

考查副词。句意：虽然你可能不知道答案，但当你以后学习的时候，你可能会更好地学习和记住答案。这里用副词later作时间状语，表示“以后”。故填later。
