If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location(位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.1. The passage begins with two questions to . A.introduce the main topic B.show the authors attitudeC.describe how to use the InternetD.explain how to store information解析：A推理判断题。本文通过“are people remembering less”以及“why store it in your own personal memory, your brain”这样的问题来导入下文两个实验要论证的主题。2.What can we learn about the first experiment?A.The Sparrows team typed the information into a computer. B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.C.The first group did not try to remember the information. D.The second group did not understand the information.解析：C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it”可知，C项正确。3.In transactive memory, people .A.keep the information in mind B.change the quantity of information C.organize information like a computer D.remember how to find the information解析：D细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句话“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory(交互记忆)”可知，答案为D项。4.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A.We are using memory differently. B.We are becoming more intelligent.C.We have poorer memories than before. D.We need a better way to access information.解析：A推理判断题。从文中可知，由于人们现在知道因特网是可以存储信息的，故现在的人们不像过去那样记忆信息本身，而是记忆存储信息的位置。即现在人们在记忆的使用方面是不同的。.完形填空 My previous home had a stand of woods behind it and many animals in the backyard.
