2014年職稱英語綜合類概括大意練習(xí)(1)
Memory test
1 “I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school，”promised lecturer Ian Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren. He slapped his hand down on the table. “When I‘ve finished in two hours’ time ，your work will be far more effective and productive. Anyone not interested，leave now.” The entire room sat still.
2 Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician(魔術(shù)師).He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible，and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery(騙術(shù)).“I have always been interested in tricks involving memory-being able to reel off(一口氣說出)the order of cards in a pack，that sort of thing，”he explains.
3 Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable. “It wasn't a difficult area to move into，as the stuff's all there in books.” So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques.
4 “You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand ?No problem，”says Robinson. The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life. The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant. “I wish I'd been told this earlier，”commented Mark，after Robinson had shown them to construct “mental journeys”.
5 Essentially，you visualize(想象)a walk down a street ，or a trip round a room，and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember——the lamppost，the fruit bowl. Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list——phrasal verbs，historical dates，whatever——making them as strange as possible. It is that simple ，and it works.
6 The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic.“The pupils benefited enormously from Ian's presentation，”says Dr Johnston，head of the school where Robinson was speaking，“Ideally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually.”

參考答案：D E A F C E A B
答案解析：
23. D 文章第二段主要介紹羅賓遜其人其事.他稱自己為魔術(shù)師，擅長表演大家看起來一點(diǎn)都不可能的魔術(shù)，他覺得魔術(shù)就跟舊時(shí)的騙術(shù)一樣神奇，他可以一口氣說出一沓撲克牌的順序.因此這段的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是memory tricks。
24. E 第三段提到，但羅賓遜感覺記憶訣竅對學(xué)生很重要時(shí)他去給學(xué)生做了有關(guān)他的魔術(shù)的技巧的講座.他感覺魔術(shù)并非難事，并總結(jié)了五個(gè)技巧，做為兩小時(shí)的講座.所以這段的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是a lecture on memory techniques。
25. A 第四段主要講了羅賓遜教授講座的結(jié)果：觀看他表演的學(xué)生都覺得非常精彩，Mark 還說真希望自己早點(diǎn)被告知進(jìn)行心智旅行mental journey 的方法.所以這段的標(biāo)題應(yīng)給是good results。
26. F 第五段詳細(xì)描述了心智旅行的過程：想象自己走上大街，或者繞著房間走，挑選地方以后把自己想要記住的東西放在那里，比如街燈柱，水果缽等.然后在每個(gè)地方放一個(gè)自己所列詞匯的形象表達(dá)——短語動(dòng)詞，歷史日期等——越奇怪越好.這個(gè)方法非常簡單，但是非常有用.這樣看來，本段描述心智旅行是為了幫助學(xué)生提高記憶力，因此最好的標(biāo)題是ways to improve memory。
27. C 本題答案可以在第二段第二句話找到：???they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery.題目中complex與這句話中的.mysterious同義，原句中trickery是騙術(shù)的意思，選項(xiàng)C的tricks即有欺騙，魔術(shù)的意思。
28. E 本題答案比較明確，通過對26題的分析可以得知羅賓遜交給孩子們心智旅行的方法是為了幫助他們提高記憶力。
29. A 第三段講述羅賓遜為小學(xué)生作講座的事情.羅賓遜提到：記憶訣竅并非難事，所有的素材都在書本里面，所以本題答案為books。
30. B 本題答案顯而易見，小學(xué)生門從魔術(shù)師的講座學(xué)到很多東西。
