　　A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(筆記本電腦).

　　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.

　　5.More and more students favor laptops for note­taking because they can________.

　　A.write more notes

　　B.digest concepts better

　　C.get higher scores

　　D.understand lectures better

　　6.While taking notes，laptop users tend to be________.

　　A.skillful B.mindless

　　C.thoughtful D.tireless

　　7.The author of the passage aims to________.

　　A.examine the importance of long­term memory

　　B.stress the benefit of taking notes by hand

　　C.explain the process of taking notes

　　D.promote the use of laptops

　　8.The passage is likely to appear in________.

　　A.a newspaper advertisement

　　B.a computer textbook

　　C.a science magazine

　　D.a finance report

　　答案：

　　【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。本文揭示實(shí)驗(yàn)研究的結(jié)果，用筆記本電腦記筆記的人記憶和應(yīng)用概念的能力較差，而用手記筆記的人在考試中的表現(xiàn)更好。

　　5.A　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)”可知，學(xué)生越來越多地使用筆記本電腦記筆記是因?yàn)樗乃俣群颓逦?，這說明用筆記本電腦記筆記速度快、記得多。故選A。

　　6.B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)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，研究已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)筆記本電腦的使用者沒能記住和應(yīng)用教給他們的概念。由此可推知，筆記本電腦的使用者在記筆記時(shí)是不動(dòng)腦子的。故選B。

　　7.B　解析：推理判斷題。本文通過實(shí)驗(yàn)發(fā)現(xiàn)了用筆記本電腦記筆記的不良效果和用手記筆記的優(yōu)勢(shì)，兩者相比突出了用手記筆記的好處。故選B。

　　8.C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文揭示實(shí)驗(yàn)研究的結(jié)果，用筆記本電腦記筆記的人記憶和應(yīng)用概念的能力較差，而用手記筆記的人在考試中的表現(xiàn)更好。由此可推知，本文應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在科學(xué)雜志里。故選C。

　　C

　　Working 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 compared with calm ones.The anxious inpiduals 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 (認(rèn)知的) tasks not because they aren't 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 inpiduals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable inpiduals，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.

　　9.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

　　A.The design of Dr.Carter's research.

　　B.The results of Dr.Carter's research.

　　C.The purpose of Dr.Carter's research.

　　D.The significance of Dr.Carter's research.

　　10.According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?

　　A.Those that have more experience.

　　B.Those that can avoid potential risks.

　　C.Those that like to work independently.

　　D.Those that feel anxious about learning.

　　11.Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?

　　A.Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.

　　B.Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.

　　C.Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.

　　D.Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.

　　12.Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ________.

　　A.storing information

　　B.learning from each other

　　C.understanding different people

　　D.travelling between social groups

　　答案：

　　【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇科普說明文。劍橋大學(xué)的一些研究人員通過對(duì)狒狒的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，影響狒狒學(xué)習(xí)成效的因素不是它們的智力，而是其性格以及對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的渴望程度。這一研究結(jié)果也適用于人類社會(huì)：如果我們不善于與他人溝通或太膽怯而不能利用所得到的信息，那么會(huì)阻礙以社會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)為基礎(chǔ)的文化的形成。

　　9.A　解析：推理判斷題。第一段描述了研究人員如何開展這一研究的具體細(xì)節(jié)：把新奇的食物和熟悉的食物藏在一個(gè)盒子里，有些狒狒有機(jī)會(huì)觀看另外一只狒狒是如何完成任務(wù)的，而另外一些狒狒則不得不自學(xué)完成任務(wù)，因此選A項(xiàng)“卡特博士研究的設(shè)計(jì)”，而非研究的“結(jié)果”“目的”或“重要性”。

　　10.D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。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 inpiduals learnt...while those who were relaxed did not...這些對(duì)實(shí)驗(yàn)的描述可知D項(xiàng)“那些渴望學(xué)習(xí)的狒狒”符合題意。

　　11.C　解析：推理判斷題。該詞所在上文，即第二、三段提到在觀察了別的狒狒之后，勇敢的、渴望學(xué)習(xí)的狒狒學(xué)到本領(lǐng)，而害羞的狒狒學(xué)了卻不像別的狒狒那樣去做;再根據(jù)between collecting social information and using it可知與“收集”和“使用”對(duì)應(yīng)的是“觀察別人但不跟著做”，即C項(xiàng)。

　　12.B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。最后一段首句The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.意為“研究結(jié)果可能會(huì)影響我們?nèi)绾卫斫馍鐣?huì)文化的形成，該文化的形成是通過社會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)獲得的”。換言之，作者認(rèn)為我們的文化是通過social learning而形成的，與B項(xiàng)“互相學(xué)習(xí)”相呼應(yīng)，而非“儲(chǔ)存信息”“理解不同的人”或“在社會(huì)群體間傳播”。

　　D

　　Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less.Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed.Imagine having to read this page，not with your eyes but with your finger­tips.

　　13.C　解析：考查寫作意圖。綜觀全文，作者希望大眾通過想象失明人士的生活，以此引起人們對(duì)失明人士的關(guān)注，故選C。

　　14.C　解析：考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段最后一句話可知目前的醫(yī)療知識(shí)和技術(shù)分配不均衡。

　　15.B　解析：考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第三段和第四段首句可知ORBIS通過培訓(xùn)醫(yī)務(wù)人員來幫助失明人士。

　　London's newest skyscraper (摩天大樓) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build.At a height of almost 310 metres，it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely 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(尖頂).He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building aren't 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(桅桿) 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 didn't 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 don't like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming 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 pision 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.

　　18.London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of ________.

　　A.its cost B.its size

　　C.its shape D.its height

　　19.When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it to ________.

　　A.change London's skyline

　　B.inherit London's tradition

　　C.imitate the Egyptian style

　　D.attract potential visitors

　　20.The critics who refer to social pision think the Shard ________.

　　A.is only preferred by the rich

　　B.is intended for wealthy people

　　C.is far away from the poor area

　　D.is popular only with Londoners

　　21.Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A.The Shard：Cheers and Claps

　　B.The Shard：Work of a Great Architect

　　C.The Shard：New Symbol of London?

　　D.The Shard：A Change for the Better?

　　答案：

　　【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。介紹了英國倫敦的地標(biāo)性建筑——約310米高的歐洲第一高樓——“碎片大廈”。有人說這棟摩天大樓使倫敦看起來更漂亮，但更有批評(píng)意見一直伴隨著大樓的誕生。

　　18.C　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。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，這棟樓的名字的由來是其外形像一塊很薄、很鋒利的碎玻璃片，因此選C項(xiàng)“它的形狀”，而非它的“花費(fèi)、尺寸或高度”。

　　19.B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段中的Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.(Piano說“碎片大廈”的尖頂外形是倫敦偉大傳統(tǒng)的一部分。)解釋了設(shè)計(jì)師的想法，與B項(xiàng)“繼承倫敦的傳統(tǒng)”相吻合。A項(xiàng)“改變倫敦的天際線”是結(jié)果而不是設(shè)計(jì)初衷，C項(xiàng)“模仿埃及風(fēng)格”及D項(xiàng)“吸引潛在的游客”文中均未涉及。

　　20.B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。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，談到社會(huì)分化的批評(píng)家認(rèn)為“碎片大廈”是“專為有錢人設(shè)計(jì)的(is intended for wealthy people)”。

　　21.D　解析：主旨大意題。全文介紹了歐洲第一高樓——英國倫敦的“碎片大廈”。由第一段的最后一句“However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.”可知，對(duì)于這個(gè)改變，毀譽(yù)參半，故D項(xiàng)“碎片大廈：更好的改變?”作為標(biāo)題最為合適。A項(xiàng)“碎片大廈：歡呼與掌聲”只關(guān)注了支持者，不夠全面。
