This advertisement is intended for ______.‎ A. parents B. coaches C. staff D. campers B As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do 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 did 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 felt that the computer would save the information. The second group thought that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group believed 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.‎ ‎24. 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 ‎25. 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 formation. ‎ C. The second group did not understand the information.‎ D.The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ ‎26. In transactive memory, people ________.‎ A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. remember how to find the information D.organize information like a computer ‎ ‎27. 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.‎ C Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they are just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.‎ Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.‎ Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称)as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.‎ If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects(预料) an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢)season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird's song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.‎ Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.‎ You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.‎ ‎28. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds' singing is actually ______.‎ A.a way of greeting B.a way of warning C. an expression of anger D.an expression of happiness ‎29. How does the writer explain birds' singing?‎ A.By telling a bird's story. B.By describing birds' daily life.‎ C. By reporting experiment results. D. By comparing birds with human beings.‎ ‎30. What is a bird's "territory"?‎ A. An area which a bird considers to be its own.‎ B. An area for which birds fight against each other.‎ C.A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.‎ D. A place where families of other species are not accepted.‎ ‎31. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?‎ A. Because they want to invite more friends.‎ B.Because they want to find outsiders around.‎ C. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.‎ D. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.‎ D There is a different idea for students and office workers putting in long hours—you ‎ don't need that "refreshment(提神) break" as much as you may think.‎ People believed it was not easy for them to continue their work if they felt the need to have a snack or a rest to make them feel better. They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest, food or entertainment.‎ But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is in your head. They found that a person's mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough or difficult mental exercise. "If you think of willpower as something that's limited, you're more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task," said Professor Veronika Job. "But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily depleted, you can go on and on."‎ The researchers led by Mr. Job designed an experiment to test the students' beliefs about willpower. After a tiring task those who believed or were led to believe that willpower was a limited resource performed worse than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over.‎ Mr. Job said, "Students who may already have trouble with study are being told that their powers of concentration are limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges."‎ The findings could help people who are battling with temptation(诱惑):people following strict diets and doing exercise regularly to lose weight, people trying to overcome addictions, employees facing a tight deadline. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think.‎ ‎32. What opinion did people have in the past?‎ A. It was impossible to regain willpower.‎ B.Hardworking people seldom took breaks. ‎ C. People could easily feel tired when they want to have r a rest .‎ D.We could regain willpower only by supplying rest, food or entertainment.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "depleted" in paragraph 3?‎ A. Given up. B. Recovered. C. Used up. D. Changed.‎ ‎34. What can we learn from the findings of the experiment?‎ A. Students benefit most from the research.‎ B. Frequent breaks are not good for learning.‎ C. The belief in willpower can change a man's behaviour.‎ D. Will power can be regained after people have a good rest.‎ ‎35. Why does the author write the text?‎ A. To explain the power of willpower. B. To show us how to build willpower.‎ C. To tell us the ways of gaining willpower. D. To introduce a new theory on willpower.‎ 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，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。‎ Some kids love handwriting, but others hate it when it's time to put pens to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 36 Here are five steps that really work!‎ ‎ Get a great grasp.‎ ‎ Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil right, writing is much easier. 37 Hold it in place with your thumb, your index finger (食指) and middle finger.‎ ‎ Let the lines be your guide.‎ ‎ Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (比例). 38 ‎ ‎ Slow down.‎ ‎ If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.‎ ‎ Lower the pressure.‎ ‎ 39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ ‎ Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it's not schoolwork, you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.‎ A. Play games.‎ B. Ask for more advice. ‎ C. You've been writing since you were a little kid. ‎ D. So "a" should be half the height of the capital "A".‎ ‎ E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.‎ ‎ F.The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting. ‎ G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and going through hard times.

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。‎ ‎【27题详解】A 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。‎ C【解析】‎ 试题分析：本文是一篇科普类的短文，主要分析了鸟儿唱歌的不同的原因。‎ ‎【28题详解】B细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory可知很多的鸟儿唱歌是警告别的鸟儿。故选D。‎ ‎【29题详解】D细节理解题。从第一段After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason.可知作者解释鸟的歌唱是把它和人相比较。故选A。‎ ‎【30题详解】A细节题。根据文章第三段Do you know what a "territory" is?
