完形填空
说明文往往围绕一个问题从不同的侧面来加以说明。说明文往往结构严谨,句子结构复杂,因此也是高考完形填空中较难把握的一种文体。要做好高考完形填空中的说明文,最重要还是要抓住作者说明的中心是什么,说明文话题呈现的方式比较单一,往往是开始就交代说明的对象,然后再从不同的角度加以说明另外因为说明丈针对某一个对象从不同的侧面和角度加以说明,每一段往往就是其中的一个角度或侧面,因此大家应注意概括每一段的中心大意。最后,还要注意文章结尾的段落,因为文章结尾的段落,往往对说明的问题进行总的概括。

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 overlearning, which can be
stated as follows:
4
we have learned somethmg, additlonal learning increases the
5
of time we will remember it.
I 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 not only learn but
7
.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination,
8
it may result in a passing grade,ii 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 overlearning,
10
is usually a good investment toward the future.

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 warning:use it or 7 it.

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
