Question

閱讀理解 　　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 that．Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way． 　　When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it．When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong． 　　If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過錯)．But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault． 　　Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write them down in a little notebook．They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised． 　　So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people：practice remembering． (1) The main reason for one’s poor memory is that ________． [　　] A． his father or mother may have a poor memory B． he does not use his arms or legs for some time C． his memory is not often used D． he can’t read or write (2) If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________． [　　] A． you can’t use them any more B． they will become stronger C． they become weak but they slowly become strong again D． they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again (3) Which of the following in NOT true?

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．A;4．C;5．B;
解析：

(1)	答案就在“…h(huán)e really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong．”中．
(2)	“…when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again．”一句是解題的依據(jù)．
(3)	B、C、D三個選項的意思在文中都有明確的說明．
(4)	根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的論述，可知那些不會讀和寫的人只好去記諸如日期、名字、故事等之類的東西．他們的記憶力自然是始終能得到鍛煉．
(5)	整篇文章都是圍繞如何有一個好的記憶力來寫的．結(jié)尾一段，點明主旨，也是本題的題眼． 　　如果某個人的記憶力不好，大部分人會認為這是受其父母遺傳的影響．其實這是他自己的過錯．他應該拿出更多的機會鍛煉自己的記憶力．本文告訴我們這樣一個道理：“用則進，不用則廢．”
