Question

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever ever since. A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star"。remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of over learning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(嘗試)increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overleam.
The multinlicatinn tables(乘法口訣表)are an excention to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overleaming explains why cramming(突擊學習)for an examination. though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college 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 overlearning. on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

Answer 1

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:B

試題分析:本篇短文講述什么是超量學習及超量學習（學習到熟記的地步）的法則。超量學習就是我們曾經學習的一些東西，額外學習如何增加記憶的時間。額外學習法則表現在考試前的突擊學習。
小題1:段落大意題。第一段主要講述大人們在兒時學會的東西，即使多年不復習還是可以記得很清楚。故選A，人們在兒時學習的知識記得很好。
小題2:推理判斷題。作者在解釋超量學習法則的時候，運用了乘法口訣和考試前突擊學習的例子。故選D，舉例。
小題3:細節理解題。根據because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.“因為這是我們兒時超量學習的另一個結果。”故選A，超量學習的而結果。
小題4:細節理解題。最后一段解釋考試之前的突擊學習。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.“通過突擊學習，學生可以通過考試，但是很快就會忘記所學。”這種方式僅適用于考前，故選B，突擊學習在限定的方式下有用。
