【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加“丝绸之路”作文比赛的经过和结果。
1. 考查时态。根前文的last week判断为一般过去时,故将bring改为brought。
2. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处是非谓语动词,逻辑主语I和notice(注意)之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语,故将noticed改为noticing。
3. 考查名词的数。Candidate(候选者)是可数名词,根据many判断此处应用名词复数形式,故将candidate改为candidates。
4. 考查冠词。first是序数词,需在前面加定冠词the,the first第一,故在first前加the。
5. 考查代词。结合上下文,此处应是“我”回答问题,故将We改为I。
6. 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词answer(回答),故将correct改为correctly。
7. 考查时间状语从句连接词。结合上下文,此处应译为“在被学校电视台采访时”,“在……时”是when,故将After改为When。
8. 考查介词。Express(表达)是及物动词,其后不需要加介词,故删除expressed后的with。
9. 考查时态。根据下文的encouraged判断此处是一般过去时,故将does改为did。
10. 考查比较级。根据下文的than判断此处应用比较级,much的比较级是more,也可以在much后加more,此时的much用来修饰比较级,故将much改为more或much后加more。
【题目】请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
You can relax if remembering everything is not your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.
Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers Paul Frankland and Blake Richards of the University of Toronto found that the neurobiology(神经生物学) of forgetting can be just as important to our decisionmaking as what our minds choose to remember.
“The goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time. Rather, the goal of memory is to help improve decisionmaking. As such, transience(转瞬即逝) is as important as persistence in memory systems,” their study in Neuron states.
Making intelligent decisions does not mean you need to have all the information at hand, it just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most uptodate information on situations. Our brains do this by generating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus(海马体), which have the power to overwrite existing memories that are influencing our decisionmaking.
“If you're trying to deal with the situation and your brain is constantly bringing up multiple conflicting memories, that makes it harder for you to make a wise decision,” Richards told Science Daily.
If you want to increase the number of new neurons in your brain's learning region, try exercising. Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking, and swimming have been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.
When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs, our brain is making a choice that these details do not matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decisionmaking by stopping us from focusing too much on minor past details. Instead, the brain promotes generalization, helping us remember the most important gist of a conversation.
“One of the things that distinguishes an environment where you're going to want to remember stuff versus an environment where you want to forget stuff is this question of how consistent the environment is and how likely things are to come back into your life,” Richards said.
If you're an analyst who meets with a client weekly, your brain will recognize that this is a client whose name and story you need to remember. If this is someone you may never meet again, your brain will weigh that information accordingly.
These findings show us that total recall can be overrated. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.
