Question

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then he paused in horror._ 1._

Barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn't remember where she'd put it.

__2.__ Most people have. But memory can be developed.

First, relax. If you're overanxious about remembering something, you'll forget it._ 3.__ Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.

Second, avoid being negative. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won't remember things. When you forget something, don't say, “Gee, I need to have my brain rewired(重装电线)．”

To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be strengthened through exercise.__ 4.__ For example, if you're learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.

You may also want to make associations, or links, between what you're trying to remember and things you already know. For example, if you need to catch a plane at 2：00 p．m., you can imagine a plane in your mind and notice that it has two wings.__ 5._

B．He had forgotten her name.

C．Perhaps you've had experiences like these.

D．Look for opportunities to exercise your memory.

E．Jokes like this will have a negative effect on your memory.

F．You are now ten times more likely to remember the take­off time.

G．Relaxing will help improve your awareness and ability to concentrate.

5.F

【解析】

试题分析：如果忘事怎么办呢？第一，放松身心。第二，避免消极。你要积极应对，尽可能要把你想记住的和你已经知道的事情联系起来。

1.考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前一句的意思是Mark开始向观众介绍嘉宾，但是他在恐怖中停顿了一下。后面应该是害怕的原因，所以选B （他忘记了她的名字。）。

2.考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据空前介绍的另一个人也是忘了藏起来的珠宝。，后面又说大多数人有过类似的经历。所以选C（也许你有过这样的经历。）。

3.考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据空前的意思：第一，放松身心。如果你着急想起什么，你会忘记它。空后提到深呼吸，告诉自己你有的是时间来记住。与G（放松将帮助改善您的认识和集中精力的能力。）所表达的意思前后连贯。

4.考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前的意思是：像你的身体，你的记忆可以通过锻炼加强。空后面是举例说明：如果你正在学习一种语言，努力记住不规则动词。所以选D（寻找机会来锻炼你的记忆。）。

5.考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前的意思是：联想飞机有两个翅膀和两点结合起来，与F（现在你比以前更容易十倍地记住起飞时间。）前后意思连贯。

考点：信息匹配。
