题文
If you do not use your arm 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（记忆力） 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(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), 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 and they have to remember things they cannot write 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.小题1:The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _______.

答案
小题1:C
小题2:C
小题3:C
小题4:C
小题5:B
解析
小题1:细节题。第一段When someone else says that his memory（记忆力） is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.当另一个人说他的记忆力是差的时，实际上，他并没有给它足够多的机会来使它变得强大。可知，一个人的记忆力差，是因为记忆没有被经常使用。故选C
小题2:细节题。第一段If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again.如果你一段时间不使用你的胳膊或腿，他们会变得很乏力；当你再开始使用它们的时候，它们会慢慢变得强壮起来。故选C
小题3:判断题。你的记忆力的使用原理和你的胳膊、腿的使用原理是同样的。从Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.可知，A正确。
像胳膊和腿一样，如果你不给记忆力足够多的机会去使用，你的记忆力会变得很差，B正确。如果你想要拥有一个更好的记忆力，就不要学习如何去读写，从最后两句可知，C错误。一个好的记忆力来自于更多的练习。从文章最后一句可知，D正确。故选C
小题4:细节题。从This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they cannot write down in a little notebook.这是因为他们不能读或写，所以不得不记住他们不能记在笔记本上的事情。可知，他们不得不一直使用他们的记忆力。故选C
小题5:主旨题。本文主要讲的是，正如胳膊和腿，人的记忆力如果长时间不使用，就会变得很差。因此，如果一个人要想拥有好的记忆力，就必须更多的使用它。可知，本文的标题最好是：如何拥有好的记忆力。故选B
点评：本文着重介绍了如何增强记忆力，并通过和自己的手臂、腿进行类比进一步形象的说明如何来提高记忆力。文章意思明朗，所出的题目也不难，答题时学生牢记紧扣文章，将答案在文章中画出来再一一作答，定能够答得很好。
