than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment,students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual notetaking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk,they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However,the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers report said,“While more notes are beneficial,if the notes are taken mindlessly,as is more likely the case on a laptop,the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory,students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time,the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.5More and more students favor laptops for notetaking because they can_.Awrite more notesBdigest concepts betterCget higher scoresDunderstand lectures better6While taking notes,laptop users tend to be_.Askillful BmindlessCthoughtful Dtireless7The author of the passage aims to_.Aexamine the importance of longterm memoryBstress the benefit of taking notes by handCexplain the process of taking notesDpromote the use of laptops8The passage is likely to appear in_.Aa newspaper advertisementBa puter textbookCa science magazineDa finance report答案:【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文揭示实验研究的结果,用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差,而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。5A解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)”可知,学生越来越多地使用笔记本电脑记笔记是因为它的速度和清晰度,这说明用笔记本电脑记笔记速度快、记得多。故选A。6B解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught”可知,研究已经发现笔记本电脑的使用者没能记住和应用教给他们的概念。由此可推知,笔记本电脑的使用者在记笔记时是不动脑子的。故选B。7B解析:推理判断题。本文通过实验发现了用笔记本电脑记笔记的不良效果和用手记笔记的优势,两者相比突出了用手记笔记的好处。故选B。8C解析:推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,本文揭示实验研究的结果,用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差,而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。由此可推知,本文应该出现在科学杂志里。故选C。CWorking with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert,Dr.Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology,Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food,hidden in a box.Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task,while others had to learn for themselves.To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were,Dr.Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt,but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect,despite being made aware of what to do,they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons pared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not,even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals,something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they arent clever enough to solve them,but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they dont associate with the knowledgeable individuals,or they are too shy to use the information once they have it,information may not travel between all group members,preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.9What is the first paragraph mainly about?AThe design of Dr.Carters research.BThe results of Dr.Carters research.CThe purpose of Dr.Carters research.DThe significance of Dr.Carters research.10According to the research,which baboons are more likely to plete a new learning task?AThose that have more experience.BThose that can avoid potential risks.CThose that like to work independently.DThose that feel anxious about learning.11Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?ASome baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.BSome baboons are shy but active in social activities.CSome baboons observe others but dont follow them.DSome baboons perform new tasks but dont concentrate.12Dr.Carters findings indicate that our culture might be formed through _.Astoring informationBlearning from each otherCunderstanding different peopleDtravelling between social groups答案:【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。剑桥大学的一些研究人员通过对狒狒的研究发现,影响狒狒学习成效的因素不是它们的智力,而是其性格以及对学习的渴望程度。这一研究结果也适用于人类社会:如果我们不善于与他人沟通或太胆怯而不能利用所得到的信息,那么会阻碍以社会学习为基础的文化的形成。9A解析:推理判断题。第一段描述了研究人员如何开展这一研究的具体细节:把新奇的食物和熟悉的食物藏在一个盒子里,有些狒狒有机会观看另外一只狒狒是如何完成任务的,而另外一些狒狒则不得不自学完成任务,因此选A项“卡特博士研究的设计”,而非研究的“结果”“目的”或“重要性”。10D解析:细节理解题。由文章第二段中The braver baboons learnt,but the shy ones did not learn.及第三段中The anxious individuals learnt.while those who were relaxed did not.这些对实验的描述可知D项“那些渴望学习的狒狒”符合题意。11C解析:推理判断题。该词所在上文,即第二、三段提到在观察了别的狒狒之后,勇敢的、渴望学习的狒狒学到本领,而害羞的狒狒学了却不像别的狒狒那样去做;再根据between collecting social information and using it可知与“收集”和“使用”对应的是“观察别人但不跟着做”,即C项。12B解析:细节理解题。最后一段首句The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.意为“研究结果可能会影响我们如何理解社会文化的形成,该文化的形成是通过社会学习获得的”。换言之,作者认为我们的文化是通过social learning而形成的,与B项“互相学习”相呼应,而非“储存信息”“理解不同的人”或“在社会群体间传播”。DClose your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if

pletely changed the appearance of London.However,not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designing the Shard for London,Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶)He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building arent regular.So the building has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name:the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors.At the top,there is an observatory.At the moment the building is empty,but eventually there will be a fivestar hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants,apartments and offices.Before building work began,a lot of people didnt want the Shard though the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York,but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration,only flat surfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago.They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows how London is being more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not certain,however,that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.18Londons newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of _.Aits cost Bits sizeCits shape Dits height19When he designed the Shard,Piano wanted it to _.Achange Londons skylineBinherit Londons traditionCimitate the Egyptian styleDattract potential visitors20The critics who refer to social division think the Shard _.Ais only preferred by the richBis intended for wealthy peopleCis far away from the poor areaDis popular only with Londoners21Which would be the best title for the passage?AThe Shard:Cheers and ClapsBThe Shard:Work of a Great ArchitectCThe Shard:New Symbol of London?DThe Shard:A Change for the Better?答案:【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英国伦敦的地标性建筑约310米高的欧洲第一高楼“碎片大厦”。有人说这栋摩天大楼使伦敦看起来更漂亮,但更有批评意见一直伴随着大楼的诞生。18C解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name:the Shard.”可知,这栋楼的名字的由来是其外形像一块很薄、很锋利的碎玻璃片,因此选C项“它的形状”,而非它的“花费、尺寸或高度”。19B解析:细节理解题。第二段中的Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.(Piano说“碎片大厦”的尖顶外形是伦敦伟大传统的一部分。)解释了设计师的想法,与B项“继承伦敦的传统”相吻合。A项“改变伦敦的天际线”是结果而不是设计初衷,C项“模仿埃及风格”及D项“吸引潜在的游客”文中均未涉及。20B解析:细节理解题。由第五段中的“Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.”可知,谈到社会分化的批评家认为“碎片大厦”是“专为有钱人设计的(is intended for wealthy people)”。21D解析:主旨大意题。全文介绍了欧洲第一高楼英国伦敦的“碎片大厦”。由第一段的最后一句“However,not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.”可知,对于这个改变,毁誉参半,故D项“碎片大厦:更好的改变?”作为标题最为合适。A项“碎片大厦:欢呼与掌声”只关注了支持者,不够全面。FSamuel Osmond is a 19yearold law student from Cornwall,England.He never studied the piano.However,he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.Then he thinks about the notes in his head.Two

only a teenager.He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future.For now,he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.22What is special about Samuel Osmond?AHe has a gift for

teachers.24Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he_.Areceived a good early education in musicBplayed the guitar and the piano perfectlyCcould play the piano without reading musicDcould play

Osmond是一个音乐天才。以前他从没有学过音乐,但是他可以弹钢琴,并且经常弹奏名家名曲,人们对此很吃惊。是什么造就了这一传奇?赶快来阅读一下吧。22D解析:细节理解题。由第一段中However,he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.可以知道,他的特别之处在于他听了曲子之后就能演奏出来,故选D项。文章没有说他有创作音乐的天赋,也没有说他能写下他听到的音符(只是说“记住”),更没有提到他是法学院的优等生,因此可以排除其他选项。23B解析:细节理解题。由Samuel wanted to bee a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents.可以知道,他想成为一名律师(也是他父母的愿望),而不是一名音乐家,故选B项,可排除A项;由.but music teachers told him he should study music instead.可以知道,音乐老师想让他放弃法律专业,学习音乐,因此排除D项;由.but Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special.可以知道,他并不认为自己是音乐天才,因此排除C项。24C解析:细节理解题。由第三段中.without being able to read music and without
