18.How to Improve Your Memory
Wouldn't it be nice to just look at a page and never forget what was on there?What if you could never again forget a friend's birthday?(36)DThe good news,however,is that everyone can take steps to improve their memory.(37)G
Exercise your brain.(38)C By developing new mental skills,especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument,and challenging your brain with puzzles and games you can keep your brain active.
(39)BThere are a lot of products on the market that claim to improve memory,but none have yet been shown to be effective in clinical tests.A healthy diet,however,contributes to a healthy brain,and foods containing antioxidants like broccoli,spinach,and berries,for example--and omega-3fatty acids appear to promote healthy brain functioning.
Take better pictures.Often we forget things not because our memory is bad,but rather because our observation skills need work.(40)EOften we don't really learn people's names at first because we aren't really concentrating on remembering them.You'll find that if you make a conscious effort to remember such things,you'll do much better.

A.Organize your life.
B.Eat well and eat right.
C.Regularly exercising the brain can help improve memory.
D.The bad news is that not everyone has such a good memory.
E.One common situation where this happens is meeting new people.
F.Most people are not very good at remembering abstract information.
G.Most people can gain the ability to memorize amounts of information.

解答 DGCBE
36.D承上启下题.根据前文Wouldn't it be nice to just look at a page and never forget what was on there?What if you could never again forget a friend's birthday?问了两个问题:只看着一页,就永远不会忘记写的什么吗?倘若你再也不会忘记朋友的生日?根据后文The good news,however,is that everyone can take steps to improve their memory.可知好消息是,每个人都可以采取措施提高记忆力.故D项:坏消息是不是每个人都有这么好的记忆力,符合上下文.故选D.
37.G联系上文题.根据前文The good news,however,is that everyone can take steps to improve their memory.可知好消息是,每个人都可以采取措施提高记忆力.故G项:大多数人能获得记忆大量信息的能力,符合上下文.故选G.
38.C主旨归纳题.根据本段的小标题Exercise your brain.锻炼你的大脑.由此可知,C项:定期锻炼大脑有助于改善记忆.故选C.
39.B小标题选择题.根据本段的内容可知,健康的饮食有助于促进大脑的功能.故B项:吃的好,吃的对,符合上下文.故选B.
40.E承上启下题.根据前文Often we forget things not because our memory is bad,but rather because our observation skills need work.我们经常忘记事情不是因为我们的记忆力不好,而是因为我们的观察能力有待提高;根据后文Often we don't really learn people's names at first because we aren't really concentrating on remembering them.可知通常我们一开始并不真正了解别人的名字,因为我们并不是真的专注于记住他们的名字.故E项:在结识新的朋友是,这是一种很常见的情况,符合上下文.故选E.

点评 完成七选五阅读时,我们可以从关联词上查找答案.由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.

10.Modern zoos are very different from zoos built fifty years ago.At that time,zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world.The animals lived in cages with iron bars,which were easy to keep clean.However,for the animals,the cages were small and impossible to hide in.Although the zoo keepers took good care of them,many of the animals did not feel comfortable,and they often became ill.
In modern zoos,people can see animals in more natural conditions.The animals are given more freedom in larger places so that they can live more as they would in nature.Even the appearance of zoos has changed.Trees and grass grow in the cages,and water flows through the places that the animals live in.There are few bars; instead,there is often a deep ditch filled with water,which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live together as they would naturally.In an American zoo,the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees,some small animals and many birds,and the cage is large enough for the birds to live naturally.In a zoo in New York,because of special night,people can observe certain animals that are active only at night,when most zoos are closed.Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert,or under water.Some other zoos have special places for animals that live in cold conditions like the bear from the Arctic.
Modern zoos not only show animals for visitors,but also keep and save rare animals.For this reason,fifty years from now,the grandchildren of today's visitors will still be able to enjoy watching these animals.

26.Fifty years ago,animals in zoos often became ill because theyD.
A.were from different countries
B.lived in dirty cages
C.were not taken good care of
D.lived in unnatural conditions
27.According to the passage,in modern zoosD feel more comfortable than in old ones.
A.the animals,not the visitors
B.the visitors,not the animals
C.neither the animals nor the visitors
D.the animals and the visitors
28.The main idea of this passage is thatA.
A.zoos are now places where animals can live naturally
B.zoos are places where people can see animals from all over the world
C.there are different kinds of modern zoos
D.rare animals are also kept in modern zoos.
7.If you have a watch,don't repair it!I know it(41)D.Once I had a beautiful watch.And this watch  (42)Bperfect time.But one night it happened that I forgot to(43)C  it up.Next morning I went to a watchmaker as I wanted my perfect watch to (44)B by the exact time.The watchmaker examined my watch and said:"The regulator (校准器) is to be pushed up (45)Cyour watch is four minutes (46)A".
I tried to stop him,tried to (47)C him understand that my watch kept perfect time,but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.
My beautiful watch began to gain time.It (48)Dfaster and faster day by day.By the end of the second month it(49)Aall the clocks and watches of the town far behind.
What did I have to do?To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated.I expected him to regulate the watch immediately(50)A he asked me to come in a week's time.When at last I took my watch from him it began to(51)D down.And I began to be late for trains,business appointments and even missed my dinners.
Now I went to (52)B watchmaker.While I waited for him to repair my poor watch,he (53)C  it to pieces and said that he could finish this work(54)B three or four days.I could do nothing but(55)A.That time my watch went for half a day and then stopped.
So I kept (56)B my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable period of time.
And as a result of it the cleverest man in the world could not (57)C the time by my watch.The thing was getting (58)A.My watch had  (59)D two hundred dollars originally but I paid for repairs more than two hundred.At last I decided to buy(60)D watch,which I did.
