Cloze
 
 
X. Fill in the missing words:

　　(Now, let's come to the Cloze. It is one of the most important methods used to test the students' reading comprehension. So it is quite necessary for the students to do cloze exercise to improve their reading ability. Now you are asked to do the following cloze exercise. In part A, you are required to fill in the blanks of the passage. Though for each blank the first letter of the word is given, which is a clue to the exercise, you should understand the passage well first and then become able to find the correct missing words. In part B, you can only find the first letter of a few words, so you should read the passage carefully first and understand it well. Only a good comprehension of the passage can make you more likely to get the correct missing words. Of course, your rich linguistic knowledge can help you do this exercise quickly and correctly.)


(A)

　　The human brain and its p　 (1) 　for learning is a c　 (2)　 subject which scientists have long sought to understand. The knowledge scientists now possess d 　(3)　 greatly from the theories of a 　(4)　 times; however, even r 　(5)　 study has left many questions unanswered. One question which scientists continue to look into is whether there is a　l 　(6)　 to the brain’s a 　(7)　 to take in(吸收) and r　 (8)　 information. Another is e 　(9)　 how learning takes place in the brain. Though now our knowledge is great as c　 t　 (10)　 earlier times, we have remained u　 (11)　 to completely understand this c 　(12)　 part of the human body.

　　1. You probably know there are two sides to the brain, the left and the right. According 　(1)　 one theory , the right side deals 　(2)　 the senses ( what we see, 　(3)　 , feel and smell). It’s the creative(有创造力的), imaginative 　(4)　 . The left side is concerned 　(5)　 logic. It analyses(分析) information and puts 　(6)　 in order. It’s the ‘educated’ 　(7)　 of the brain.
　　Scientists believe that our brains will 　(8)　 at least 75% more effectively if 　(9)　 sides are exercised. In fact, in some schools, experiments have been 　(10)　 using a 50%—50% syllabus(教学大纲). That is, a syllabus 　(11)　 deals 50% with logic and 50% 　(12)　 creative skills and therefore exercises 　(13)　 sides of the brain. The results of students　　 (14) 　were working from such a syllabus were 　(15)　 　better than the results of students 　(16)　 from the more traditional(传统的) syllabus　 (17)　 concentrates on more ‘logical’ items and 　(18 ) 　only exercises the left side of the brain, without much attention 　(19)　 the right side. 　
　 　2. Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. 　(1)　 hour after studying or learning 　(2) 　new, more than 50% has been 　(3)　 . After one month 80% has been forgotten　 (4) 　so on.
　　 This shows that review is very i 　(5)　 . If you review the material 　(6) 　have just learnt, you remember much more. It’s important to 　(7) 　newly learnt material a little and often. It’s also necessary to　 (8) 　frequent breaks. We best remember　 (9)　 we learn at the beginning 　(10)　 a learning period and at the point 　(11)　 we stop. After the break, it’s necessary to review what was 　(12)　 before the break — and then to c 　(13)　 learning the new material.
　　 Other experiments have s 　(14)　 that the brain needs time to digest(消化)　 (15)　 has been learnt. The time necessary　 (16)　 this is 5 to 10 minutes. After a 　(17)　 of this time the memory 　(18)　 have absorbed(吸收) what it has　 (19) 　learnt, and more will be remembered. 　(20)　 this break it is important to e　 (21)　 the right side of the brain, 　(22)　 the left side is used during a learning period.　 (23)　 you should relax in some way.　 (24)　 to music, breathing in fresh 　(25)　 and looking at a picture, are all ways of using the　(26) 　side of the brain.
