What percentage of seniors in the UK would talk with three people a week at most? A. About 55%. B. Just 26%. C. Over 20%. 19. What were more than half of seniors afraid of? A. Leaving their homes. B. Parting from their children. C. Taking early retirement. 20. What did the survey of 2,000 British aged 16 — 45 show? A. Only a small number of them worried about their elder years. B. One-third of them wanted to help seniors. C. 30% of them felt too shy to talk with seniors. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: According to the survey of 1896 seniors in the United Kingdom, more than one in five would have a conversation with no more than three people over the span of an entire week. That translated to nearly 2~6 million elderly folks who didn’t enjoy regular human contact on a daily basis. Perhaps the most alarming is that researchers said an alarming 225,000 individuals would go a week without talking to anyone face to face. The survey also revealed that over half of seniors were willing to take early retirement. They said they knew they could be taken good care of if they took their children’s advice moving into the nursing homes, but they were unable to accept this idea. They were so scared of leaving their only homes they had lived for most of their lives. Meanwhile, another survey of 2000 people aged 16 to 45 in the UK showed that 55% of younger folks admitted to worrying about being lonely in their elder years. With that in mind, two thirds of those people said they wanted to do something to help boost the confidence of a lonely senior. But 37 per cent worried that such a gesture wouldn’t be well received. Another 30 per cent felt too shy to spark up a conversation with seniors, 27 per cent admitted they were not sure how to help, and a quarter said they were simply too busy themselves. 第二部分阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A A Guide to New York City’s Best Bookstores In the hot and crowded summer city, there’s nothing better than finding a cool and quiet bookstore to get lost in.

(切尔西市场的波斯曼书店是书籍爱好者的一个愉悦之地，它隐藏在纽约市最受欢迎的一个食品市场内)”可知，Posman Books的独特之处在于它位于一个食品市场内。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合文章标题“A Guide to New York City’s Best Bookstores(纽约市最佳书店指南)”以及第一段中的“Here are the must-visit bookstores in New York City: (以下是纽约市必去的书店)”可知，文章主要介绍了纽约市最好的几家书店，故文章的主要目的是为读者推荐一些书店。故选B项。 B Many of us spend a considerable part of our lives working — with many of us, these days, working from home. While there are many benefits offered by not going to the office — not commuting (通勤), avoiding the rat race, and not having to worry about getting a seat if you hot-desk — there are also some disadvantages. No more coffees with colleagues, daily chats by the water cooler or going out for team-bonding meals. Actually, it is important to be friends with those we work with. Firstly, working with like-minded people can make those hours at work more fruitful and positive. Various situations are commonplace in the job you do, so having people to talk to about the difficulties of tasks could make your life easier. It’s also nice knowing that you can have jokes or a chat with people at work — and some of your colleagues may become your lifelong friends. Besides, it’s also good for the company you work for. According to Dr Emma Seppala, people who said they had friends at work were more productive, and were more satisfied with their jobs than those who didn’t. And what can happen if you don’t connect — if you don’t stimulate (促进) your relationships with those who do the same job as you? While it can be easy to avoid them physically, Dr Adam Hickman says that feelings of loneliness may come slowly, which makes sense. According to Maslow’s levels of needs, a psychological (心理的) theory which tries to explain human behaviour and motivation based on necessities, a feeling of belonging is one of the strongest psychological needs. No one wants to be where they feel unwanted, which is why many companies try to encourage workplace interaction — be it ping pong tables in the office, or online parties. And finally, even though we’re working more from home now, we may one day see our colleagues once again. Having a good relationship with them would make that meeting much more pleasant. So, if you’ve had a rupture in your relationship with your workmates, it might be time to start fixing it. 24. What do you know about working from home according to Paragraph 1? A. There are no coffees. B. There are no outside meals. C. There are no daily chats. D. There are no worries about traffic. 25. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The benefits of making lifelong friends. B. The way of befriending with colleagues. C. The necessity of making lifelong friends. D. The importance of befriending with colleagues. 26. What might happen if you don’t connect with your colleagues? A You will gain motivation. B. You will have more psychological needs. C. You will lack a sense of belonging. D. You will experience immediate loneliness. 27. What do the underlined words “a rupture” in the last paragraph mean? A. A breakdown. B. A battle. C. An emergency. D. A balance. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了与同事交朋友的重要性。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While there are many benefits offered by not going to the office — not commuting (通勤), avoiding the rat race, and not having to worry about getting a seat if you hot-desk — there are also some disadvantages.(虽然不用去办公室有很多好处——不用通勤，避免激烈的竞争，如果你使用办公桌轮用制的话，也不用担心没有座位——但也有一些缺点)”可知，在家办公就不用去办公室，不用通勤，即不用担心交通问题。故选D项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Firstly, working with like-minded people can make those hours at work more fruitful and positive.(首先，与志同道合的人一起工作可以让工作时间更有成效、更积极)”和“Besides, it’s also good for the company you work for. According to Dr Emma Seppala, people who said they had friends at work were more productive, and were more satisfied with their jobs than those who didn’t.(此外，这对你工作的公司也有好处。Emma Seppala博士表示，在工作中有朋友的人比没有朋友的人工作效率更高，对工作也更满意)”可知，本段主要通过举例和引证专家的观点来说明与同事成为朋友的重要性。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And what can happen if you don’t connect — if you don’t stimulate (促进) your relationships with those who do the same job as you? While it can be easy to avoid them physically, Dr Adam Hickman says that feelings of loneliness may come slowly, which makes sense. According to Maslow’s levels of needs, a psychological (心理的) theory which tries to explain human behaviour and motivation based on necessities, a feeling of belonging is one of the strongest psychological needs.(如果你不与同事联系——如果你不促进与同事的关系会怎样？虽然从身体上避免他们很容易，但Adam Hickman博士说，孤独感可能会慢慢袭来，这是有道理的。根据马斯洛的需求层次理论，这是一个基于需求来解释人类行为和动机的心理理论，归属感是最强烈的心理需求之一)”可知，如果你不与同事联系，你可能会缺乏归属感。故选C项。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“So, if you’ve had a rupture in your relationship with your workmates, it might be time to start fixing it.(所以，如果你和同事的关系______，也许是时候开始修复它了)”中“start fixing it”可推知，条件状语从句中假设了你与同事的关系出现了“破裂”，所以需要修复它，划线短语a rupture意思是“（关系的）破裂”，与A breakdown同义。故选A项。 C If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness. It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking. Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise. In this way, exercise raises our moods (情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember. However, creativity is an abstract (抽象的) thinking skill, whose relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking. To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods. The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised properly. They are also likely to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities, rather than average ones. However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods. But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives. 28. How does physical activity change our brains? A. By making more brain cells. B. By responding to thinking. C. By supplying more nutrients. D. By increasing blood pressure. 29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The purpose of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The subjects of the study. 30. What do we know from Paragraph 5? A. Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative. B. People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity. C. Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity. D. Effortless physical activities make people more creative. 31. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health? B. Can Exercise Make You More Creative? C. What Makes You More Imaginative? D How Exercise Improves Your Mood? 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，介绍了体育活动如何影响我们的大脑以及创造力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise.( 许多研究表明，我们的大脑会对体育活动做出反应而发生变化，因为在锻炼过程中，我们的大脑会吸收更多的血液、氧气和营养，从而产生比不锻炼的人更多的新脑细胞)”可知，体育活动通过产生更多的脑细胞来改变我们的大脑。故选A项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods.(为了进一步了解活跃如何影响创造力，格拉茨大学的研究人员追踪了一组健康成年人的正常活动。他们给这些志愿者配备了5天的活动追踪器。然后他们请他们参观实验室。然后，研究人员根据他们的创造力和其他指标对他们的产出进行评级。志愿者还完成了关于他们情绪的标准化问卷)”可知，本段详细描述了研究过程，包括给志愿者配备活动追踪器、让他们访问实验室、对创造力和其他指标进行评分以及完成标准化情绪问卷等。因此，本段重点介绍了研究的过程。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. (然而，活动、创造力和情绪之间的联系并不紧密。这表明，对创造力有更大影响的不是情绪的改善，而是体育活动)”可推知，运动在塑造创造力方面发挥着更重要的作用。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. (根据一项关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，如果你经常锻炼，你很有可能变得更有创造力)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕体育活动与创造力之间的关系进行阐述，介绍了相关研究及其发现。因此，B项“运动能让你更有创造力吗？”最能概括文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选B项。 D 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 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 to ________. A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information 33. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow’s 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. 34. 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 35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's 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. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文。文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联网来储存信息，人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢？专家怀疑互联网可能正在改变人们的记忆内容和方式。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”专家们想知道，互联网是否正在改变我们的记忆，以及如何改变我们的记忆？这是本文的中心话题。因此推断，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知第一组没有试着记住信息。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。 第二节七选五(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___36___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. So, how do you find a workout partner? First of all, decide what you want from that person. ___37___ Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner. You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. ___38___ If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. ___39___ You and your partner will probably have different skills. ___40___ Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C. You’ll work harder if you train with someone else. D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice? F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. G. Any notice for a training partner should include such information. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。 【点睛】 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分 25 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) Dean’s son Jeff was on the autism spectrum (自闭症).

Undoubtedly, a great bookstore can provide both relaxation and inspiration. Here are the must-visit bookstores in New York City: McNally Jackson McNally Jackson is a beloved independent bookstore with multiple locations, known for its good selection and welcoming atmosphere. Besides offering a wide range of genres, many locations feature a cozy café where you can enjoy coffee, pastries, and light snacks while browsing or reading. The Mysterious Bookshop As the name suggests, The Mysterious Bookshop specializes in mystery, crime, and detective fiction, offering a wide range of related books. The store regularly hosts book signings and readings with well-known authors in the mystery genre, providing fans with opportunities to meet their favorite writers. The knowledgeable staff is passionate about mystery fiction and can provide personalized recommendations. Dashwood Books For those who love photography, Dashwood Books is a hidden paradise on Bond Street. Here you can find rare, limited, and out-of-print photo books. Some days, you’ll ever find bargain bins (柜) located near the back of the store, with options for less than＄5 a pop. Fashion designers, such as Simone Rocha, have been known to wander to the store for inspiration. Chelsea Market’s Posman Books Posman Books at Chelsea Market is a delightful spot for book lovers, hidden in one of NYC’s most popular food markets. The store offers a good selection of bestsellers, children’s books, and unique gifts, making it a great place to pick up something special while exploring the market. 21. Which bookstore can provide some advice? A. McNally Jackson B. Dashwood Books C. The Mysterious Bookshop D. Chelsea Market’s Posman Books 22. What unique feature does Posman Books have? A. A large selection of rare books. B. A location within a food market. C. Special events with famous authors. D. A wide collection of mystery novels. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To promote online book shopping. B To offer recommendations for bookstores. C. To compare the service of some bookstores. D. To discuss the history of some bookstores. B Many of us spend a considerable part of our lives working — with many of us, these days, working from home. While there are many benefits offered by not going to the office — not commuting (通勤), avoiding the rat race, and not having to worry about getting a seat if you hot-desk — there are also some disadvantages. No more coffees with colleagues, daily chats by the water cooler or going out for team-bonding meals. Actually, it is important to be friends with those we work with. Firstly, working with like-minded people can make those hours at work more fruitful and positive. Various situations are commonplace in the job you do, so having people to talk to about the difficulties of tasks could make your life easier. It’s also nice knowing that you can have jokes or a chat with people at work — and some of your colleagues may become your lifelong friends. Besides, it’s also good for the company you work for. According to Dr Emma Seppala, people who said they had friends at work were more productive, and were more satisfied with their jobs than those who didn’t. And what can happen if you don’t connect — if you don’t stimulate (促进) your relationships with those who do the same job as you? While it can be easy to avoid them physically, Dr Adam Hickman says that feelings of loneliness may come slowly, which makes sense. According to Maslow’s levels of needs, a psychological (心理的) theory which tries to explain human behaviour and motivation based on necessities, a feeling of belonging is one of the strongest psychological needs. No one wants to be where they feel unwanted, which is why many companies try to encourage workplace interaction — be it ping pong tables in the office, or online parties. And finally, even though we’re working more from home now, we may one day see our colleagues once again. Having a good relationship with them would make that meeting much more pleasant. So, if you’ve had a rupture in your relationship with your workmates, it might be time to start fixing it. 24. What do you know about working from home according to Paragraph 1? A. There are no coffees. B. There are no outside meals. C. There are no daily chats. D. There are no worries about traffic. 25. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The benefits of making lifelong friends. B. The way of befriending with colleagues. C. The necessity of making lifelong friends. D. The importance of befriending with colleagues. 26. What might happen if you don’t connect with your colleagues? A. You will gain motivation. B. You will have more psychological needs. C. You will lack a sense of belonging. D. You will experience immediate loneliness. 27. What do the underlined words “a rupture” in the last paragraph mean? A. A breakdown. B. A battle. C. An emergency. D. A balance. C If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness. It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking. Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise. In this way, exercise raises our moods (情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember. However, creativity is an abstract (抽象的) thinking skill, whose relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking. To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods. The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised properly. They are also likely to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities, rather than average ones. However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods. But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives. 28. How does physical activity change our brains? A. By making more brain cells. B. By responding to thinking. C.

Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health? B. Can Exercise Make You More Creative? C. What Makes You More Imaginative? D. How Exercise Improves Your Mood? D 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 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 to ________. A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information 33. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow’s 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. 34. 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 35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's 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. 第二节七选五(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___36___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.
