脑中与空间记忆相关的部分。说明他们可以更好地运用这些记忆技巧。

故选Co

海里形成更多这样的场景。也就是说会有各种各样的场景，故选A。

31.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“cubbyholes“inthelastparagraph

probablymean?

A.Smallspaces.B.Blacksholes.

C.Technicalskills.D.Differentnumbers.

【解析】选A。猜测词义题。横线前面一句"Anyonewhowishestotrain

themindneedsfirsttocreatefantasticalpalacesintheimagination.”告诉

我们首先要在脑海里创造出幻想出的宫殿，然后再把这些宫殿分隔成

不同的记忆空间来存储不同的记忆内容。所以本句中的"cubbyholes”是

指被分隔出来的小空间。故选A。

D
