7、cintyre.“If you’re trying to visualize a free throw,and you don’t even know the proper movement,then you’re probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill.” 【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。通過想象的方式進行腦力訓(xùn)練可以提高一個運動員的技能水平。研究表明腦力訓(xùn)練和實踐訓(xùn)練都有明顯的訓(xùn)練效果,腦力訓(xùn)練由于不受地域及時間的限制,有其明顯的優(yōu)勢,但是它并不一定適合每一個人。 1.The author introduces the to

A.Coach. B.Sp

10、ecialist. C.Beginner. D.Judge. 答案C 解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后一段內(nèi)容可知,腦力訓(xùn)練對某些人反而有負(fù)面的效果,因為他們原本就不知道正確的技能運用方式,故可推知,這些人應(yīng)該是初學(xué)者。故選C項。 4.What is the main idea of the text? A.Athletes are likely to win games through imagined practice. B.Practicing a skill properly in mind can produce intended effect. C.Practice wh

11、ether mental or physical has its own characteristics.

17、king helps you remember what you read. F.But other books require a bit more work on your part. G.You can do the same thing when you are reading the text! 答案與解析 【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。怎樣才能更好地記憶閱讀過的內(nèi)容呢?作者就此提出了幾種有助于閱讀記憶的方法。 1.D　根據(jù)下文可知,可能你剛讀完一篇文章,但對文章所表達的思想及概念等已經(jīng)記不起來了,這與D項“記憶有時是一件棘手的事情”相一致。故D項符合文意。 2.A　此處

18、為小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容,尤其是第一句“If the plot,characters,or word usage is confusing for you,you likely won’t be able to remember what you read.”可知,本段主要是圍繞“confused”展開的。故A項符合文意。 3.F　此處承接上下文。對于一些書,你立刻就能與其建立聯(lián)系,而對于另外一些書,則需要你自己去努力了。上文中的“some books”與F項中的“other books”相對應(yīng)。故F項符合文意。 4.G　閱讀需要讀者全身心地投入,狄更斯在閱讀時的一些做法,值得我們借鑒,因此

19、,我們也可以嘗試類似的做法。故G項符合文意。 5.B　根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知,如果你經(jīng)常閱讀,你將會更容易記住閱讀的內(nèi)容,這就是“熟能生巧”。故B項“熟能生巧”符合文意。 Ⅲ.讀后續(xù)寫 閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。 The end of my sophomore year was approaching.Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May.My summer break would be spent with Grandma and Grandpa,helping
