Many of us often complain that we cannot remember things or easily forget things, however, (32)memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort to remember things, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember them. (35)But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you. It often happens that we remember things that did not really happen. (33)One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before. What’s more, memory "tricks" work the other way as well. Once in a while, we remember not doing something and then find out that we did it. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I got a haircut two days ago at the barber shop across the street from my office. Frequently, we seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. (34)Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. (35)Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when "tricks" of our memory can cause us great trouble.
32. What should we do if we want to have a good memory?
33. What can we learn about the speaker?
34. What can we infer about absent-mindedness from this passage?
35. What can be concluded from this passage?
选项
A、One night he forgot to lock the front door.
B、One night he forgot locking the front door.
C、One night he remembered to lock the front door.
D、One night he remembered unlocking the front door.
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。短文中提到,人们有时会记得不曾发生的事情,并讲了自己的亲身经历一一有一天他醒来时发现自己没有关门,而他记得睡觉前仔细地关了门。解答本题要注意forget to do sth.与forget doing sth.的区别,前者意为“忘记将要做的事”,后者意为“忘记已做过的事”。
