单选题 Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

B、 The preparatory method in exams.
C、 Conscience.
D、 Man"s mind.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
Did you ever have someone"s name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were unable to recall it? When this happens again, do not try to recall it. Do something else for a couple of minutes, and the name may come into your head. The name is there since you have met this person and learned his name. It only has to be dug out. The initial effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious activities that go to work to dig up a dim memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn"t loosen your memory; it only tightens it. Students find the preparatory method helpful in the examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. Meanwhile, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.

What"s the passage about?

[解析] 1．四项均为名词或名词性短语。
2．三项含有与人的意识有关的词汇(recalling，memory，conscience，mind)。
结论：本题可能考查短文的主旨，其内容与意识有关。
不少人都有过这样的经历：当你想叫出某人的名字时，却突然想不起来了。本篇短文以此为引子，介绍了唤醒记忆的方法，并以学生在考试时答题的过程为例进行具体讲解，可见短文主要论述的是如何唤醒记忆。故选A。

A、 From the ones they are familiar with to the difficult ones.
B、 From the short ones to the long ones.
C、 From the complicated ones to the easy ones.
D、 From the ones they are confident of to the more difficult ones.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
According to the passage, what kind of order do students usually follow when they answer questions in exams?

[解析] 1．四项均为from...to...结构。
2．四项均提及ones，其中两项包含一对反义词(short/long，complicated/easy)。
结论：本题可能考查做某事的先后顺序，需注意辨别ones指代何物。
题干问学生在考试答题时往往依照怎样的顺序。短文后半部分提到，学生总是先做那些自己最有把握的题目，等这些比较简单的题目答完了，那些较难题目的答案也就想起来了。可见学生答题的顺序是由易到难，故选D。A项中的familiar表述不够准确，可排除。

A、 When you can"t recall something instantly, you should try your best to do it.
B、 When you can"t recall something instantly, you"d better have an operation on your mind.
C、 The subconscious activities may go to work to dig up a dim memory.
D、 Forcing yourself to recall may loosen your memory.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文]
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

[解析] 1．四项均为成分完整的句子，其中两项以when开头。
2．三项含有第二人称代词(you，yourself)。
3．四项均含有与记忆、回忆相关的词汇(recall，mind，subconscious，memory)。
结论：结合以上三点以及选项的结构来看，本题可能考查说法正误，需结合原文信息一一进行辨别。
短文中间部分提到，最初试图进行回忆的努力使意识准备好开始运转，但是，是潜意识活动负责去挖掘模糊的记忆。强迫自己去回忆几乎从来都不会奏效，因为这样做非但不会使你的意识放松，而且会使其更紧张。故选C。
