问题     Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the song that begins with "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks.
    One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
    In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales. We not only learn but overlearn.
    The multiplication table (乘法表) is an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because it is another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
    The law of overlearning explains why cramming for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
According to the passage, the author thinks that________.

选项 A、cramming leads to failure in college exams
B、cramming is helpful only in a limited way
C、cramming is likely to result in poor memory
D、cramming increases students’ learning interest

答案B

解析 根据最后一段前两句“…though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.”可知,超量学习法则解释了为什么为了考试临时死记硬背虽然可能导致及格分数,但并不是一个意的学习大学课程的方式;通过临时死记硬背,一个学生可能把这门课学得足够好,以至于能通过考试,但他可能很快就会忘记他所学的几乎所有东西。由此可推知,作者认为临时死记硬背也许能应付考试,但却不足以应付大学课程的学习,因为容易忘记,即它的作用是有限的。故选B。
