AJ and EP are extremes on the spectrum of human memory. And their cases say more than any brain scan about the extent to which our memories make us who we are. Though the rest of us are somewhere between those two poles of remembering everything and nothing, we've all experienced some small taste of the promise of AJ and dreaded the fate of EP. Those three pounds or so of wrinkled flesh balanced atop our spines can retain the most trivial details about childhood experiences for a lifetime but often can't hold on to even the most important telephone number for just two minutes. Memory is strange like that.
如果题目所在句子里出现了“逻辑关系”，那么文章中相对应的句子里也会出现同样的“逻辑关系”。

标题配对题（List of headings）是雅思阅读中的一种重要题型，要求给段落找小标题。它一般位于文章之前，由两部分组成：一部分是选项，另一部分是段落编号，要求给各个段落找到与它对应的选项，即表达了该段中心思想的选项，有时还会举一个例子。当然，例子中的选项是不会作为答案的。

文章内容回顾
文章介绍了电视广告对于儿童的各种影响和各种不同的商业广告是如何通过各种方法来实现推销产品的目的的。文中两次提到了Macdonald's的广告，还提到了其他的广告；其次文章引用了多位学者对于电视广告的不同理论观点，用科学方法表明4-5岁以下的儿童，对广告只是停留在欣赏其中的画面的层面，他们是无法区分广告和电视节目的区别的，所以成年人最好能告诉孩子关于广告的事实真相。Summary题目主要集中在文章后半部分，其中最后一个空格有些跨度，但答案可以显然推出是shorter。
What is a memory? The best that neuroscientists can do for the moment is this: A memory is a stored pattern of connections between neurons in the brain. There are about a hundred billion of those neurons, each of which can make perhaps 5,000 to 10,000 synaptic connections with other neurons, which makes a total of about five hundred trillion to a thousand trillion synapses in the average adult brain. By comparison there are only about 32 trillion bytes of information in the entire Library of Congress's print collection. Every sensation we remember, every thought we think, alters the connections within that vast network. Synapses are strengthened or weakened or formed anew. Our physical substance changes. Indeed, it is always changing, every moment, even as we sleep.
相关英文原文阅读
There is a 41-year-old woman, an administrative assistant from California known in the medical literature only as "AJ," who remembers almost every day of her lifesince age 11. There is an 85-year-ol man, a retired lab technician called "EP," who remembers only his most recent thought. She might have the best memory in the world. He could very well have the worst.
Most scientists now agree that the strange recollections triggered by Penfield were closer to fantasies or hallucinations than to memories, but the sudden reappearance of long-lost episodes from one's past is an experience surely familiar to everyone. Still, as a recorder, the brain does a notoriously wretched job. Tragedies and humiliations seem to be etched most sharply, often with the most unbearable exactitude, while those memories we think we really need—the name of the acquaintance, the time of the appointment, the location of the car keys—have a habit of evaporating.
文章中给出的研究，是基于AJ, EP两位患者有关记忆的两个极端案例：一个人的记忆力好到超乎想象，他几乎可以记得生命中发生的每一件事；而另外一个人的记忆力非常差，差到甚至连刚刚发生的事情都记不起来。介绍了一位神经外科医生相关的research,还有现代医药在人类记忆领域方面所作出的研究和努力。三大题型中，summary多集中在文章前几段落；选择题从文章第八段开始，遵循每段一题的原则，定位明确，语言简单，答案显见。
A Canadian neurosurgeon named Wilder Penfield thought he'd proved that theory by the 1940s after using electrical probes to stimulate the brains of epileptic patients while they were lying conscious on the operating table. He was trying topinpoint the source of their epilepsy, but he found that when his probe touched certain parts of the temporal lobe, the patients started describing vivid experiences. When he touched the same spot again, he often elicited the same descriptions. Penfield came to believe that the brain records everything to which it pays any degree of conscious attention, and that this recording is permanent.
Michael Anderson, a memory researcher at the University of Oregon in Eugene, has tried to estimate the cost of all that evaporation. According to a decade's worth of "forgetting diaries" kept by his undergraduate students (the amount of time it takes to find the car keys, for example), Anderson calculates that people squander more than a month of every year just compensating for things they've forgotten.
题型难度分析
第一篇的题型包括4道段落信息配对，4道TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN和5道4选1的选择题，从难度上来讲，有一定难度，因为段落信息配对题的题目顺序与文章顺序不一致，需要对全文通读，后面两题的难度一般。
题型技巧分析
对于词汇量大和阅读理解速度较快的同学，建议先做第一题，然后再做后面两道题，这样做的目的是：做完第一题可以对整篇文章有一个较清晰的认识，再做后面两道题时会比较轻松。

Reading Passage 1
Title:
Listening To The Ocean
Question types:
4道段落信息配对；4道是非无判断；5道选择题（4选1）；
文章内容回顾
文章主要讲通过声音测海洋深度，制造了一个仪器可以听鲸鱼的动静，可以观察海水温度变化，测定海洋的深度，因为很早的时候就能通过肉眼观测月亮，后来是通过望远镜来观测月亮，但是光线却难以穿透海水，使得人们对海洋的了解十分有限，后来xx开始用声音来探测海洋，并介绍了声音和光在物理性质上的相似性。海洋的温度、盐度等都会影响声音在海洋中的传播速度。长声波在海洋中可以传播得更远；xx组织发明了声纳用于探测海洋，这个声纳从船上发出和接收声波，科学家们在不同位置接收声波来探测海洋的各方面指数，可以用来追踪鲸鱼，而且可以同时追踪多个，Fine whale在不同季节会发出不同calls,海洋可以影响气候，比如El Nino.
解题思路：
1.将例子所对应的选项及段落标号划去
2.划出选项中的关键词及概念性名词
3.浏览文章，抓住各段的主题句和核心词（尤其是反复出现的核心词），重点关注段落首句、第二句与末句
4.与段落主题句同义或包含段落核心词的选项为正确答案
Summary填空题有几个特别重要的技巧：
做题之前先判断所填词的词性，如果空格前面出现了“the, a, an”,那么文章中需要填的词前面一般也会出现这三个冠词。
对于词汇量不大、阅读理解速度较慢的同学，建议先做后面两道题，不要在第一道题目上花费太多时间，这样会得不偿失，花了大量的时间却得不到好的结果。
