Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strengthin 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 found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesn't 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 up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元)in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写)existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brain's learning region,try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains. When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs,the brain is making a choice that these details don't 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 decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead,the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation. We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall(记忆)can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.1.How can we help our brains produce more neurons?A.By having deep sleep frequently.B.By practicing swimming regularly.C.By doing mental labor repeatedly.D.By learning new skills constantly.2.Which of the following can best replace “facilitate” underlined in Paragraph 5?A.Postpone.B.Repeat.C.Promote.D.Abuse.3.What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A.Memory loss is well worth noticing.B.Decisions can't be made without memories.C.We shouldn't stress total recall too much.D.Forgetting is even more important than remembering.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Caution:do remember to forgetB.Why and how people choose to forgetC.Want to become smarter? Learn to forgetD.Being forgetful might mean you are smarter答案语篇解读本文为说明文。最新的研究表明:健忘可能是一种优势,事实上,选择性记忆甚至可能是高智商的标志。1.B 细节理解题。本题题干意为:我们如何帮助我们的大脑产生更多的神经元?根据文章第四段中的“Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons.”(已经发现诸如慢跑、劲走、游泳之类的有氧运动可增加神经元的数量)可知答案为B项。A:通过时常深睡眠;C:通过反复做脑力劳动;D:通过不断学习新技能。2.C猜测词义题。本题题干意为:下面哪个词可以最好地替代第五段中的画线词“facilitate”?根据画线词前面的(偶尔忘记细节可能表明记忆系统是非常健康的)可推知画线句应为:研究人员发现我们的大脑通过阻止我们过分关注过去的一些不重要的细节而推动(promote)决策。综上所述,本题答案为C项。A:推迟;B:重复;D:滥用。3.C推理判断题。 本题题干意为:我们可从文中做出什么结论?根据题干中的conclusion可推知本题答案区间在最后一段。根据文章最后一段中的“These findings show us that total recall can be overvalued.”(这些发现向我们表明:完全记忆的能力可能会被高估。)可知答案为C项(我们不应该太强调完全记忆)。4.D主旨要义题。 通读全文尤其是根据文章第一段中的“.being forgetful can be a strengthin fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.”可知答案为D项。本文主要是告诉我们:健忘可能意味着你更聪明,而并没有告诉我们要学会忘记,故排除C项。Passage 2Semi-retired advertising agency owner Stephen Thomas, 58, has been investing on and off for the past 30 years. He made money in the dotcom boom but got his fingers burnt when the bubble burst in March 2000. When he got access to his pension he decided to start investing again, this time with the help of his son Sam.Now the two meet up most afternoons at Stephen's home in Sandbach, Cheshire to talk about investments. The day starts at 7 am when Sam looks at company announcements online. These regulatory announcements can include a firm's accounts, general updates or news of mergers(合并) or acquisitions(收购). Sam flags up companies that he thinks look interesting to his dad who then does some more research. Each has an ISA (Individual Savings Account) with AJ Bell, which they use to buy individual stocks and shares. It is a risky way to invest but the two like doing their own research on companies and Stephen makes an effort to go to investor presentations(报告) and try to meet the CEO and directors of the firms they invest in and to speak to other investors in the companies.They have invested in oil companies and pet care businesses, to name just a few. But while the investments of the two men are similar, they do have different approaches. While Sam likes to hold shares for the long term as he is saving money for his future retirement, Stephe
