Question

With the new school year quickly coming near (or perhaps, for your early-starters, already under way), it’s time to get ready for a successful term(学期). And while you may be cleaning your wardrobe(壁柜), it’s equally important to freshen up(更新) your study skills, too.

Have you ever noticed that your study habits are different from those of your friends? Or how you seem to learn faster in certain classes? Some people are quick to blame(责备) the teacher or subject(学科) for their difficulties, but that isn’t always the cause(原因). One thing that many people seem to ignore(忽视) is their learning type.

Now, you may be wondering what a learning type is and how to find yours. There are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination of learning types, but most people have one main type.

1. Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily get information from pictures, graphs, and videos, you are likely a visual learner.

2. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, whether listening to a lecture or repeating information out loud, then you are likely an auditory learner.

3. Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.

So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick (窍门) is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you in your classes.

【解析】

试题分析：

1.细节题，由第二段的最后一句One thing that many people seem to ignore(忽视) is their learning type.可以知道他们不知道学习方法，所以选D

2.细节题，由前面说了视觉、听觉、动觉几中学习方法，你也可以是它们的综合，所以选B

3.细节题，由倒数第四行If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner可以知道是动觉，所以选C

4.推理题，由前面提到了视觉、听觉、动觉几中学习方法，后面肯定是说对于不同的学习方法有不同的学习技能，所以选D
