三、阅读理解
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 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 whether 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 remembered 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 (交互) memory".
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memory as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memory; 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.
1.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
2.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.
3.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
4.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 memory than before. D.We need a better way to access information.

解析：语篇解读本文是一篇说明文,介绍了普通的书和电子书的优缺点。
①根据本空前的"Castles(城堡) and temples wear away after hundreds of years, but the symbols and e-books came from the development of words on the stone often survive."可知,数百年之后,城堡和寺庙会磨损,但是符号和电子书往往来源于石头上幸存下来的文字的发展,此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句,既与前面提到的情况相关联,又要引出下文普通书和电子书的比较,故D项(这类似于书中的单词是如何生存下去的)符合语境。故选D。
②根据本空前的"Books and e-books share lots of similarities. They are both items created by great minds."可知,此处介绍普通书和电子书的相似之处,故E项(它们都有一个索引来介绍每本书的主题)符合语境。故选E。
③根据本空后的"Firstly, books don't have to be charged, while e-books need electricity if we want to read them."可知,普通书不需要充电,而电子书设备需要充电,由此可知本段讲的是普通书和电子书的不同之处,故A项(但是,它们也有不同之处)符合语境。故选A。
④根据本空前的"However, e-book devices are easy to carry."可知,电子书更方便携带,此处承接上文,说的是电子书的另一个优点,故B项(它们比普通书占用空间少)符合语境。故选B。

三、阅读理解
答案：1-4.ACDA
解析：1.推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.可知,作者开头使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的主要话题。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.可知第一组没有努力记住信息。又根据第二段的Later, the second group remembered the information better.可知第二组比第一组记得更好,但未提第二组是否理解这些信息,因此可以判断D项错误。结合以上两点又可以判断B项错误。把信息录入电脑是参与实验者做的,而不是研究团队,因此A项错误。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive(交互)memory".可知,在交互记忆里,人们记得怎样找到信息。A、B、C三项信息与原文不符。故选D。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,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,而不是我们正变得更聪明,也不是我们记忆力比以前差了,因此可以排除B、C两项,而D项与实验目的和结果不符。故选A。
