Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can ___21___ swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still    22   away. A mother who has not    23  the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
  One explanation is the    24    of over learning, which can be stated as following: Once we have learned something, additional learning increases the    25   of time we will remember it.
  In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and    26   ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but  __27  .
  The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a(an)    28    grade, is not a    29   way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,    30  , is usually a good investment toward the future.

  22. A. move              B. drive             C. travel             D. ride

  21 C 词义比较常识运用前后照应 大人们都经常感到吃惊,小时候他们所学的东西,虽然其间从来没有操练过,也能够完好地记住。一个好些年里没有机会去游泳的人当他有回到水里的时候,他会仍然(still)象往常一样地游泳。only仅仅, 只不过;hardly几乎不;still依然,仍然,还,表示原有状态的持续;even甚至,表示过分程度。注意后句中的still,此句与后句结构相仿。
  22 D 词义比较词汇用法常识运用 几十年后他仍然可以蹬上自行车把车子骑(ride)走。drive开车,驾驶,通常指驾驶马车、和机动车辆(如汽车等);travel旅行,游历,移动;ride骑(自行车),乘坐(汽车、公共汽车,马背等);move动, 移动,
  意义太笼统,不具体。
  23 A 词义比较逻辑推理 当母亲的好些年里没有回想(think about)那些词语了,能够教女儿"Twinkle, twinkle, little star"开头的小诗,也能够背诵灰姑娘或白雪公主的故事。think about 考虑, 回想;care for关怀, 照顾;show up揭露, 露出, 露面;bring up教育, 培养。
   25 D 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 一旦我们学习了某样东西,额外的、附加的学习就会提高我们记忆它的时间长度(length)。常识告诉我们,时间久了,记忆会变得模糊,其精确性(accuracy)无法保证。length长度,时间的长短;accuracy精确性, 正确度;unit个体,单位;limit 界限, 限度。
  26 A 词义辨析 小时候,我们只是不停地听,不停地去想起并记住(remind)那些小诗和孩提的童谣。remind使人想起,使人记起,提醒,使某人不忘记;inform通知, 告知;warn警告,通知;recall回忆, 回想。
  27 C 前后照应词义比较 我们不仅仅在学习,而且同时也在附加学习(overlearn)着。通过前面的分析,这里点题。recite(背诵)也是一种学习,它包括在learn之中。research研究, 调查)和improve(改善, 改进)文意不符。
   29 C 逻辑推理词义比较 附加学习的规律告诉我们,突击学习是学习学校课程中便利的(convenient),有时也需要的(demanding),且快速的(swift)的方法,但他不是令人满意的(satisfactory)方法。
  30 C 逻辑推理语句连贯 突击学习可以让学生学得好以便能够通过考试,但学生很可能不久就会忘得一干二净。而(on the other hand)附加学习则是对未来的良好的投资。at most至多,顶多;by the way在途中, 顺便;on the other hand另一方面,表示对立关系。in the end最终,终于。

One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total.  21  the faults already found out in the education system as a whole — such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious  22  which have a direct effect on language teaching.
The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English  23 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.
Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so  24  that the most able groups are  25  and are bored while the least able are lost and  26  bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.
Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 27  lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have  28  it a few years later. Because they never need it, they do not practice it.
Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and  29  modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop  30  resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.
21. A. Due to                 B. In addition to       C. Instead of            D. In spite of
22. A. errors                  B. situations             C. systems               D. methods
23. A. vocabulary           B. culture                C. grammar             D. literature
24. A. wide                    B. similar                C. separate               D. unique
25. A. kept out               B. turned down        C. held back            D. left behind
26. A. surprisingly          B. individually         C. equally                D. hardly
27. A. extra                   B. traditional           C. basic                   D. regular
28. A. needed                 B. forgotten             C. practised             D. left
29. A. restored               B. absorbed             C. prohibited           D. withdrawn
30. A. wasting                B. focusing              C. exploiting            D. sharing
