Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time，they become weak；when you start using them again，they slowly become strong again．Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact. 【1】 When someone says that he has a good memory，he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously．When someone else says that his memory is poor，he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong． 【2】 One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. 【3】 , many of us think that his parents are to blame，or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak．Not all of us can become extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.

Have you ever found that some people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? 【4】 Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things；they cannot write them down in a little notebook．They have to remember dates，time and prices, names，songs and stories；so their memory is the whole tme being exercised．

【5】 ，learn from the poor：practise remembering．

A. What do you think of it? B. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way． C. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory D. So if you want a good memory E. When someone else says that he is poor in the health F. Why is this? G. The position is exactly the same as that of two people.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】G

【3】C

【4】F

【5】D

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】B考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据后文When someone says that he has a good memory，he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously．可知，当有人说他的记忆力很好时，他意思是说他通过有规律的训练来让他有意识或者无意识地坚持练习记忆。这和B相一致。故选B。

【2】G 考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据后文One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.可知，他们中的一个通过打网球来锻炼手脚，然而另一个整天坐在椅子上或者车上。句中的One of them和the other与选项G中的two people相一致。故选G。

【3】C考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据前文If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. 和后文many of us think that his parents are to blame，or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak．可知，C选项是连接了人们对于手脚虚弱和记忆力低的原因的不同看法。故选C。

【4】F考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据后文Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things，可知，当然，因为那些不会看和写的人不得不记忆东西。此句与选项F构成了自问自答的因果关系。故选F。

【5】D考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据后文learn from the poor：practise remembering．可知，跟穷人学习，练习记忆东西。此句是选项D的方法。故选D。
