北京市部分区 2024届高三下学期一模英语试题分类汇编 阅读理解 2024届北京市朝阳区高三下学期一模考试英语试题 第一节 （共 14 小题； 每小题2分， 共28分） 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， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A You’ve raced to the supermarket only to realise you’ve left the shopping list home. You need to memorise which groceries to pick up before you forget. Thankfully, there’s a memory aid that’s perfect for the job: the peg-word method. What is the peg-word method It employs a set of pre-determined words, regarded as peg words, for the to-be-remembered information. Peg words act as a structure to help you remember particular items. Essentially, you’re hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily. Initially, to use this method, you will have to remember the peg words as well as the numbers: one=bun two= shoe three=tree four= door five= hive six= sticks seven= heaven eight= gate nine =vine ten= hen The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun(小圆面包) together. The more unusual you can make your image, the more likely you are to remember it. In this case, you could imagine a bun drinking a glass of milk. Why is it useful As the case shows, it is most useful when it comes to remembering lists and you can recall the listed items easily in order. Another way to use this memory aid is to memorise important numbers, like phone numbers or dates. For instance, you need to remember that William Shakespeare was born in the year 1564. First, change that number to bun-hive-sticks-door. Then imagine a story to help you remember the series: William Shakespeare put a bun in a beehive to coat it in honey, but he didn’t like how sticky it became so he threw it at a door. The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information, please visit https://jojomemory.com/. 21. How can we apply the peg-word method to recall an item A.
