  (A)
  Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can ___1___ swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still    2    away. A mother who has not    3  the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.

  One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:    4    we have learned something, additional learning increases the    5    of time we will remember it.
  In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and    6    ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We no only learn but  __7  .
  The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,    8    it may result in a passing grade, is not a    9    way to learn a school 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 over learning,    10  , is usually a good investment toward the future.
  1. A. only          B. hardly        C. still            D. even
  2. A. move        B. drive          C. travel          D. ride
  3. A. thought about  B. cared for      C. showed up      D. brought up
  4. A. Before        B. Once          C. Until            D. Unless

  1 C 词义比较常识运用前后照应 大人们都经常感到吃惊，小时候他们所学的东西，虽然其间从来没有操练过，也能够完好地记住。一个好些年里没有机会去游泳的人当他有回到水里的时候，他会仍然(still)象往常一样地游泳。only仅仅, 只不过；hardly几乎不；still依然，仍然，还，表示原有状态的持续；even甚至，表示过分程度。注意后句中的still，此句与后句结构相仿。

  5 D 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 一旦我们学习了某样东西，额外的、附加的学习就会提高我们记忆它的时间长度(length)。常识告诉我们，时间久了，记忆会变得模糊，其精确性(accuracy)无法保证。length长度，时间的长短；accuracy精确性, 正确度；unit个体，单位；limit 界限, 限度。
  6 A 词义辨析 小时候，我们只是不停地听，不停地去想起并记住(remind)那些小诗和孩提的童谣。remind使人想起，使人记起，提醒，使某人不忘记；inform通知, 告知；warn警告，通知；recall回忆, 回想。

  10 C 逻辑推理语句连贯 突击学习
可以让学生学得好以便能够通过考试，但学生很可能不久就会忘得一干二净。而(on the other hand)附加学习则是对未来的良好的投资。at most至多，顶多；by the way在途中, 顺便；on the other hand另一方面，表示对立关系。in the end最终，终于。

    The birthrate in Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.
    Affairs Ministry concluded last year that,    11    cash encouragement, some women just don't want to be    12    holding the baby. "What we know is that it's good for the    13___ if men and women share the burden of having children," says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry.    14    Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n)    15 _  day off work.
    Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers    16    to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (产假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months' paid leave, with a warming: use it or    17    it.
    Kindlund admits that men are under  18    to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. "It's not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace," he says. "But it's good for the father and for the child if they can    19    a relationship."
    In Norway, a(n)  20    policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.

  12 B 词义辨析句法结构 一些妇女就是不想被丈夫留(leave)在家里带孩子，而他们却不在家里。这四个词均可用于动词+宾语(人)+宾语补语(现在分词)的结构，send sb. doing sth.通常强调使/驱使/迫使/打发某人做某事；leave sb. doing sth. 表示使/让/撇下某人做某事，并含有"不再理会"的意义；catch sb. doing sth.突然抓住某人正在做某事；see sb. doing sth.看见某人正在做某事。

  14 C 语句连贯词义比较 即便是瑞典的父母亲可以随意地带工资休假，但也只有12%的男人只有做。just as就象……一样；only if只有，只要，表示条件关系；even though即便，纵使，表示让步关系；now that既然，表示因果关系。
  15 D 逻辑推理词义辨析 60%的做父亲的人就连一(single)天的工作也不想耽误。one通常不直接用在a之后，除非其前有形容词；mere仅仅的, 只不过的，纯粹的；only唯一的，单独的，其前通常不用不定冠词，而用定冠词；single唯一的，单一的，其前可用不定冠词或定冠词。

；severe严厉的, 严格的；global全球的, 全世界的。
