Question

A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school．Your child' s hearing ability is normal．Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he' s heard at school． 　　Why should this be?It's because he's not using his hearing ability to help him remember and understand what he's been taught． 　　Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear．They've got good hearing memories．Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see．They've got good seeing memories．Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things．Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing memories．Most children, I'd say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering． 　　But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives(使……不能)the child of the full use of his natural senses． 　　Mrs．Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son' s hearing．“But he never seems to really understand what he hears, that's what his teachers tell me,”she said． 　　“My psychological examination of William shows he's weak in his hearing memory,”I said,“but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school．” 　　“Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy' s hearing was all right．So, that proves you're right on that point,”admitted Mrs．Alien．“So how can we help him?My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr．Dursteln．” 　　“You can do a lot to improve William's hearing memory, but it'll take time．You must be patient and not expect results immediately．”I cautioned． 　　I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home．I told Mrs．Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program． (1) Those who have poor hearing memories ________． [　　] A． can not hear sounds clearly B． are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned C． are poor at learning things by what they have heard D． have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of (2) The author suggested that Mrs．Alien try some ways ________． [　　] A． to train her son' s hearing memory B． to make use of her son' s natural senses C． to make good use of what her son heard D． to understand the trouble in which her son was involved (3) In paragraph 5, the underlined word“incredulous”means ________． [　　] A． unbelieving B． believable C． believing D． incredibly (4) Which of the following is true?

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．A;3．A;4．B;
解析：

(1)	直观题。文章第二段第二句是依据。“这是因为他没有运用听力来帮助理解和记忆所学知识。”
(2)	细节题。倒数第二段第一句话是依据。“你可以通过大量练习来提高William的听力，但需要很长时间。”
(3)	词义判断。根据它后边的一句话可判断，incredulous“难以置信”，形容词。unbelieving是它的同义词。incredibly“难以置信地”，副词。
(4)	细节题。文章第三段，第一句。“有些孩子养成用听力去理解和记忆知识的习惯。”
