完形填空
Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportuni ty to go swimming for years can 1 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades(十年) and still 2 away. A mother who has not 3 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: 4 we have learned something, additional learning increase the 5 of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 6 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 7 .
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, 8 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 9 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, 10 , is usually a good investment(投资) toward the future.

解析:
1.C 解析:根据句意“许多年没有机会游泳的人仍然能够像以往一样游泳”…as well as ever…为选此项提供了依据,另外从下文…and still…也可知晓,故选C。 2.D 解析:与上文结合起来构成并列例子,前者以游泳为例,后者以骑自行车为例,当然得选ride。 3.A 解析:此题主要从词组辨析出发。think about意为“考虑”、“思考”、“回想”、“想起”;care for意为“关心”;show up意为“揭穿,露出,显出”;bring up意为“培育、教育、培养”。根据文义选A。 4.B 解析:once意为“一旦”表条件意味,此项符合文义。 5.D 解析:从文义来看,额外的学习能使我们学到的东西记得更牢,能够增长我们记住某件事的时间长度,故选D项。 6.A 解析:remind sb. of sth.意为“使某人想起……”或“提醒某人想起……” 7.B 解析:根据文义,此句意为“我们不仅要学习,而且还要进行额外学习”,故选B项。 8.A 解析:though表示让步,“尽管、虽然”。 9.C 解析:此空应与35题联系起来,与前句构成转折关系,“尽管它可以导致通过一定级别的考试,但对于学习学校课程来说并不是一种令人满意的方法”,故选C。 10.C 解析:最后一段中最后两个句子讲了超负荷的这种突击性学习有其弊端,即学习可能很快地忘掉所学的东西,另外少量的突击性学习通常是一种好的投资,优劣对比,故选C项,on the other hand有“另外一方面”之意。 |
