Passage 1
In the waters off Brisbane, Australia, a seven-foot-long sand tiger shark swims in pain. A
two-foot-long spike sticks out of her side. It's a piece of fishing equipment that the shark ate
carelessly. After traveling into her body, the spike punctured(刺) through the shark's stomach.
A man swimming in the water notices the shark. Then, he warns Sea World Marine Park in the nearby
town of Gold Coast. Sea World sends a 12-person team from its rescue center to where the shark was
discovered in Moreton Bay Marine Park. Soon, they find her lying on the seafloor. “She'll die without
help,”says Trevor Long, leader of the rescue center.
Using an onboard crane(吊车), the rescuers move the shark into their boat's 13-foot-long
tank(缸). Then Dr. David Blyde gives the shark pain medicine and performs an operation to remove
2
the spike. After that, the team sails with the shark to Sea World 33 miles away. They place the
fish in a 49-foot-long tank and wait to see if she gets better.
To give the shark's stomach time to get better, she isn't fed for the first few days. A week
after her operation, Long offers the shark a small, dead fish. The animal refuses to eat. But days
later when he drops another fish into her tank, the shark enjoys her meal. By now the shark's wounds
are getting better.
Two weeks after her rescue, they take the shark back to the boat and return her to Moreton Bay
Marine Park. As the fish is lowered by the crane to the water's surface, two rescuers jump into
the ocean and guide her into the sea. From the boat, Long watches her swim away.“The shark has
another chance,” Long says.

Passage 2
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people
remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal
3
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 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.
5.The passage begins with two questions to . ( )
A.show the author's attitude
B.introduce the main topic
C.describe how to use the Internet
D.explain how to store information
6.What can we learn about the first experiment? ( )
A.Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B.The first group did not try to remember the information.
C.The two groups remembered the information equally well.
D.The second group did not understand the information.
7.In transactive memory, people . ( )
A.keep the information in mind
B.change the quantity of information
C.remember how to find the information
4
D.organize information like a computer
8.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ( )
A.We are becoming more intelligent.
B.We are using memory differently.
C.We have poorer memories than before.
D.We need a better way to access information.

be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship.
