阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
How many phone numbers can you remember by heart? It’s probably fewer than you would like. Actually, you’re not alone. Out of more than 1,000 Americans who were surveyed, more than half said that they couldn’t recall the phone numbers of their friends and neighbours. And 44% said that they couldn’t remember their relatives’ phone numbers. In their eyes, there is no point in filling their heads with phone numbers if they’re all stored in smartphones that are with them almost all the time.
In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia(遗忘症). More than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote memorisation(死记硬背) was once an important part of education, but we just need a click or slide now. That’s making us worse at remembering things.
Researchers found that when people expected to have access to information online, they were less likely to remember actual facts, but more likely to remember how to find them. As a result, we are already becoming one with our computer tools, growing into interconnected systems that remember less by knowing information than by knowing where the information can be found.
However, some believe it isn’t necessarily a bad thing — maybe it gives them more chances to think through things. We certainly have access to more knowledge now than ever, even if it isn’t all stored in our brains.Even so, I still believe that there are more risks to this new world of memory beyond losing our ability to recall some information such as who the 15th president was. That kind of information may always be a click away, but the important things are personal ones, like the way your parents smile at your wedding. It’s harder to recall or find online. If you’re relying on yourself to keep track of those memories, they will be much more meaningful.

3.What can we learn from the text? ( )
A.Over 90% people are suffering from digital amnesia.
B.People can gain knowledge more easily than before.
C.Rote memorisation no longer exists in modern life.

阅读短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you are walking on the road, your phone ring invites you to check it. 1 After texting, your eyes remain glued to the screen, even though you are walking across the street.
2 This behaviour has aroused debates among lawmakers about whether texting while walking should be illegal. Some cities, such as Honolulu and Rexburg, Idaho, have banned distracted(思想不集中的) walking altogether.
E
B
But we shouldn’t let that make us less worried. Last year, pedestrian(行人) deaths in the United States were at their highest point since 1990, with distracted drivers and bigger vehicles being the chief culprits(肇事者). 3
“When you’re busy doing secondary tasks like texting, you don’t judge gap distances in traffic as well. You walk slower. You make poor decisions. 4 That is the main reason of some traffic accidents,” said Mr. Kolosh of the National Safety Council.
C
F
5 I talked to neuroscientists(神经科学家) and psychologists about our conduct. All agreed that texting while walking might be a form of addictive behaviour.
But this article isn’t about pointing fingers. Rather, now is a good time to reflect on why we are so glued to our phones, what we know about the risks and how we can take control of our personal technology rather than let it control us.
A
A.So why do we do it?
B.You type a message.
C.You’re not aware of your surroundings.
D.We don’t ever want to blame the drivers.
E.We all do this kind of distracted walking.
F.So being fixed on a screen while walking can’t be safe.
G.You put your phone in your bag instead of your pocket.
语篇导读:文章介绍了边走路边看手机的危害。
1.根据上下文可知,第一段创设了边走路边发短信这一情境,手机铃响,你会输入消息,然后继续看屏幕,B项(You type a message.)承上启下,符合语境。该项中的type a message对应下文的texting。故选B项。
2.根据空格后两句可知,这种行为引起了立法者对边走路边发短信是否违法的争论。有些城市已经完全禁止走路时分心。E项(We all do this kind of distracted walking.)引出下文,符合语境。该项中的distracted walking对应下文的distracted(思想不集中的) walking,为原词复现。故选E项。
3.根据上文可知,去年,美国行人死亡人数达到1990年以来的最高点,司机分心和大型车辆是罪魁祸首。由此可知,本句应总结上文,说明边走路边看手机是不安全的。F项(So being fixed on a screen while walking can’t be safe.)符合语境。故选F项。
4.根据上文可知,当你忙于做诸如发短信之类的次要任务时,你不会正确判断交通中的间距。你走得会慢一些,会作出错误的决定。本句应总结上文,说明边走路边发短信让人无法注意周围的环境。C项(You’re not aware of your surroundings.)符合语境。故选C项。
5.根据空后两句可知,作者与神经科学家和心理学家讨论了这种行为。所有人都认为边走路边发短信可能是一种成瘾行为。这解释了边走路边发短信的原因。A项(So why do we do it?)引出下文,符合语境。故选A项。
谢谢观看!
