问题     There are three kinds of memory: sense memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Think of them as three connected rooms in which you store different kinds of memories.
   The first kind of memory is sense memory. Everything you are sensing right now is stored here. Perhaps you feel the sun on your face or smell the aroma(香味) of food. Sense memories last only a few seconds, but they connect one moment to the next. They give your life a flow, even though they are quickly forgotten.
   You keep a few items(条目) in working memory. These are memories you need for what you are doing. Suppose you look up a friend’s telephone number in the phone book. You’ll probably remember the number for a little while. But if you get distracted(分神), you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working memory for just a few days at most. Working memory has another limit, too. Only a small number of items fit into it at any given time.
   Memories you want to keep for a long time go into your long-term memory. They can stay with you all your life. In long-term memory, you can store a huge number of items. Can you remember how to play your favorite game? Do you recall your first birthday party? If so, you are bringing up memories that are stored in your long-term memory. Sometimes, people have trouble finding a particular long-term memory. Have you ever struggled to remember a familiar name or fact? When this happens, people sometimes say the information is "on the tip of the tongue".
Which of the following best describes the sense memory?
选项 A、It’s your preference for certain food.
B、It’s something you did a while ago.
C、It’s a memory of the distant past.
D、It’s an immediate memory.
答案D
解析 分析推理题。短文介绍的是记忆的三种形式，属于科普性质。短文第一段说明的是第一种记忆：sense memory(感觉记忆)。作者指出，感觉记忆储存的是感官所带来的记忆，它们只能持续几秒钟，但它们将这一刻与下一刻联系起来；尽管它们很快就会被忘记，但它们让生命得以连贯起来。由其中的Sense memories last only a few seconds和they are quickly forgotten两句即可推知，这是一种瞬时记忆，故选[D]。
