　　4. Information that doesn't make any sense to you is difficult to remember.

　　that引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾information; 主句是Information is difficult to remember.

　　不定式to remember 用在做表語用的形容詞后面作狀語。請看下面的句子：

　　7. Chunking consists of grouping separate bits of information.

　　在第一單元的Text B中我們已經(jīng)對consist of有所了解。這一詞組的意思是“由…組成”，它與be made up of;be composed of 的意思相近，但consist of 不用被動語態(tài)。請看例句：
