题目

阅读下列短文。从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When leaning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture(做手势) with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain ares responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning. This is the conclusion a research team reached after using magnetic pulses(磁脉冲) to disturb these areas in language learners. As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults lea a total of90 invented words (such as "lamube" for "camera "and" atesi" for" thought" )over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary they are also shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the wood was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a test. At the same time, they had equipment tied to their heads that sent weak magnetic pulses to their motor cortex-the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed (有助于) to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the test subjects were only presented with matching picture instead of gestures when leaning vocabulary. In contrast, children-unlike adults-seem to benefit from pictures as much as gestures in the long run. In an experiment published in 2020 the Leipzig research group had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, sometimes paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still tied. But after six months. the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both. （1） Which method might be the best in memorizing words? A . Watching videos. B . Using magnetic tapes. C . Reading the words repeatedly. D . Making hand movements. （2） What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A . The design of the research. B . The purpose of the research C . The subjects of the research D . The result of the research. （3） What played a key role in remembering the meanings of the new words? A . The best questions. B . The equipment. C . The word type. D . The motor cortex （4） What do the underlined words "were still tied" mean in the last paragraph? A . Achieved the same results. B . Did not help the adults equally. C . Failed to have beneficial effects. D . Were connected with each other. 答案： D A D A
