Question

11．As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，are people remember less？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 （文件夾）．Surprisingly，people later remember the folder location 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 （交互記憶）"．
    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 doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing．
32．The passage begins with two questions toA．

D．The second group did not understand the information．
34．In transactive memory，peopleD．
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
35．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research？A
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．

Answer 1

分析 文章主要講的是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)給人的記憶帶來(lái)的影響．互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用者越來(lái)越依賴互聯(lián)網(wǎng)來(lái)儲(chǔ)存信息，這樣人們是否會(huì)喪失失去記憶的能力，專家懷疑互聯(lián)網(wǎng)真的可能會(huì)改變?nèi)藗冇洃浀哪芰�和方式�?/p>

解答 A C D A
32．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段的句子"Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how．"可知這篇文章用兩個(gè)問題開始來(lái)介紹主題．故選A．
33．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段的句子"People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it．"可知第一組的人沒有努力去記這些信息．故選C．
34．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第三段的句子"When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information．Rather，they remember how to find it．This is called"transactive memory （交互記憶）""可知在交互記憶中人們記住怎么找到信息．故選D．
35．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一段的句子"This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing．"可知Sparrow研究中表明互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的影響是我們使用記憶的方法不同了．故選A．
