宁夏银川九中高三下学期第四次模拟考试——英语英语

If you are like most English learners, you may be familiar with this: You think you understand a topic. Yet when asked to use what you have learned, you are not able to remember the information. Not being able to retrieve(数据检索)new ideas could happen on a test or even in a conversation.

Sarah Lynn, an educational consultant and teacher, thinks English learners can improve their ability to remember and use new words by testing themselves. She adds that self-testing improves retrieval—the ability to use and remember new words.

Lynn is not the only expert who recommends self-testing. A paper in Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition says one benefit of testing practice is that it improves retrieval. Retrieving information once makes retrieving that information easier in the future. In addition, the paper says, when students test themselves as part of studying, they learn what they do not know. When students know what they do not understand, they can pay more attention to overcoming their weaknesses. Lynn recommends that learners test themselves by getting away from what they are studying. Then, they should test

themselves by thinking about what they have learned. She recommends that learners make themselves write or speak something. Lynn suggests reading something or watching a video on the topic, then getting rid of the reading or video material and summarizing it. This will allow learners to test what they know. Next time you are studying English, try to test yourself. But do not just assume that you can read something once or twice and fully understand it. Even if you highlight important points or take notes in a class, you probably do not fully understand what you learned. After all, Olympic athletes cannot learn how to swim or run just from reading a book. They have to practice swimming or running every day for years. They often compete in races to test their skills.

33. What’ s the common situation faced by English learners? A. They fail to come up with new ideas B. They are not familiar with a certain topic C. They don’t learn as well as they think

D. They don’t know how to improve their test-taking skills. 34. Which is the advice given by Lynn about self-testing? A. Recall what’s learned with the book closed B. Remember what’s learned by repetitive reciting C. To warn English learners not to be proud. D. Challenge yourself to learn from videos 35. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Learning actually takes effort most B. Improve English by self-testing C. Memorize more new words D. What is self-testing? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
