Ⅱ.任务型阅读

For better grades — use your brain!

If you're like most students, you probably started this new school year with an air of determination to study harder. Now science can help you. Recent discoveries in brain research point to better ways to learn.

Think of the last time you looked up a number in the telephone book and dialed it. Could you remember that number five minutes later? Probably not! 1. But if you can put the phone number into long-term memory, you'll remember that same phone number next week.

When you study, you transfer (转移) new information into long-term memory. Every time we learn something new, the structure of the brain actually changes, as we build new connections to information that we already know. 2.

Brain researchers have discovered three key points for better study.

◆3. Your brain can process only a limited amount of information at one time, so don't try to remember every detail. When studying a textbook, look for titles and headings to show you the main ideas.

◆Make the new brain connections stronger. 4. This is the most powerful way to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory. Another way is drawing a picture of the information, to make the visual (视觉的) part of the brain active.

◆Give the new material time to soak in (渗入) — your brain has to build new physical connections. 5. And cramming (突击式学习) the night before a big test doesn't help.

A．Try to make an effort.

B．That's because it's in your short-term memory.

C．We know we will need the information in the future. D．Find the most important information and organize it. E．One method is to recite the ideas out loud in your own words.

F．For this reason, it's better to study for several short periods than a long one. G．When there are more connections to the new information, it's easier to find it again. 语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了如何使用大脑更好地学习。

1．解析：选B 根据上文的“Probably not！”可知，五分钟以后你忘记了刚拨过的电话号码，那是因为这组号码是以短期记忆的形式被储存的。

2．解析：选G G项中的“more connections to the new information”与上文中的“we learn something new ... we build new connections to information that we already know”相呼应。

3．解析：选D 根据下文中的“don't try to remember every detail”可知，学习时应该是寻找最重要的信息。

4．解析：选E 根据下文的“This is the most powerful way”和“Another way”可知，本段是大脑研究者提供的“Make the new brain connections stronger.”的两种方法。

5．解析：选F 本段的“Give the new material time to soak in (渗入)”是对F项中的“better to study for several short periods than a long one”的解释。
