易错题解析：
Paragraph 3: Three other explanations seem more promising.One involves physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain continues throughout early childhood.And this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be retrieved later. Demonstrations of infants’ and toddlers' long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier，such as reaching in the dark for objects, putting a bottle in a doll’s mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy. The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories，but not ones requiring explicit verbal descriptions.
5. What does paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?
○Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory of motor activities but not verbal descriptions.
○Young children may form long-term memories of actions they see earlier than of things they hear or are told.
○Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long ones.
○Children’s long-term recall of motor activities increases when such activities are accompanied by explicit verbal descriptions
题型：事实信息题。答案是(B)
解析：题干的关键词是long-term memory，可以定位到原文第五句，句子大意为婴幼儿对长期记忆表现可能与之前重复的一些行为动机有关， B选项提到了孩子会对他们之前重复的行为形成长期记忆，与原文对应。A 选项对大脑额叶的描述与原文不符，原文说“Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain continues throughout early childhood”， 但是A选项说Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory，不对;C选项“ short verbal exchanges”原文未提到，D选项与原文最后一句话的意思相反，也不对。
语法点：定语从句的用法。
易错选项：(A)。
Paragraph 5: A third likely explanation for infantile amnesia involves incompatibilities between the ways In which infants encode information and the ways in which older children and adults retrieve it. Whether people can remember an event depends critically on the fit between the way in which they earlier encoded the information and the way in which they later attempt to retrieve it. The better able the person is to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will be successful.
Paragraph 6: This view is supported by a variety of factors that can create mismatches between very young children's encoding and older children's and adults' retrieval efforts. The world looks very different to a person whose head is only two or three feet above the ground than to one whose head is five or six feet above it, 0lder children and adults often try to retrieve the names of things they saw, but infants would not have encoded the information verbally.General knowledge of categories of events such as a birthday party or a visit to the doctor's office helps older individuals encode their experiences, but again, infants and toddlers are unlikely to encode many experiences within such knowledge structures.
10.According to paragraphs 5 and 6，one disadvantage very young children face in processing information is that they cannot
○process a lot of information at one time
○organize experiences according to type
○block out interruptions
○interpret the tone of adult language
题型：事实信息题。答案是(B)
解析：题干关键词是disadvantage，processing information，可以定位到最后一句话，其中“encode their experiences”是关键词。B选项提到了根据类型组织经验，符合最后一句话的意思。Organize对应encode，type对应category。B选项用了同义词替换。A同时处理很多信息，原文没有提到。C挡住阻断，原文也没有提到，D解释成年人语言中的语调原文也没有提到。
语法点：并列句的用法。
