Toronto is a city of neighborhoods, thus wherever you are in Toronto, you’re bound to find yourself surrounded by shopping, dining and culture experiences unique to that specific area.
Toronto’s CN Tower
It’s one of the world’s tallest structures at 1,815 feet and the glassed-in elevators offer visitors a sense of just how high that is. In the tower’s 360 Restaurant diners sit on a floor that performs a full cycle every 72 minutes, guaranteeing (确保) different views of the city with each bite of meal. Plus, if you order dishes at the restaurant, your entry to the CN Tower is free.
The Fairmont Royal York Hotel
It is one of Toronto’s oldest and most storied hotels. Since opening in 1929, it’s stood as one of the largest hotels in the British Commonwealth with 1,600 rooms. It’s also home to more than 300,000 bees, who live on the hotel’s roof top and produce honey for the Fairmont Royal York’s dining facilities(设施).
The Toronto Islands
North America’s largest urban car-free community offers plenty of green space and beaches for visitors of all ages. Those looking for exercise can explore the islands by bike while checking out the breathtaking views of Toronto’s skyline; visit the rental facility near the Centre Island ferry dock.
St. Lawrence Market
Voted the world’s best food market in 2012, the St. Lawrence Market complex consists of two buildings. The north building plays host to weekly Saturday, fanner’s markets, while in the south building, open every day except Sunday and Monday, meat, baked goods, jewelry... are on offer. One of Toronto’s most iconic (标志性的) breakfasts —the pea-meal bacon sandwich is considered a signature dish.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Toronto’s CN Tower部分“In the tower’s 360 Restaurant diners sit on a floor that performs a full cycle every 72 minutes, guaranteeing(确保) different views of the city with each bite of meal.(在摩天大楼的360餐厅里，食客们每72分钟进行一次完整的循环，保证每吃一口饭都能看到不同的城市景观)”可知，在Toronto’s CN Tower用餐可以鸟瞰多伦多。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Toronto Islands部分“North America’s largest urban car-free community offers plenty of green space and beaches for visitors of all ages.(北美最大的城市无车社区为各个年龄段的游客提供了充足的绿地和海滩)”可知，多伦多岛是无车社区，故岛上看不见任何的小车和卡车。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Toronto’s CN Tower部分“It’s one of the world’s tallest structures(是世界上最高的建筑楼之一)”、The Fairmont Royal York Hotel部分“It is one of Toronto’s oldest and most storied hotels. (多伦多最古老，故事最多的宾馆)”、The Toronto Islands部分“North America’s largest urban car-free community(北美最大的城市无车社区)”和St. Lawrence Market部分“Voted the world’s best food market in 2012(被誉为2012年世界上最大的食物市场)”可知，这四个旅游景点的共同点在于它们都很出名。故选A。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段画线短语consists of后的内容“The north building plays host to weekly Saturday, fanner’s markets, while in the south building, open every day except Sunday and Monday, meat, baked goods, jewelry... are on offer.(北楼每周举办周六农贸市场，而南楼除了周一和周日外，每天都开放，肉类、烘焙食物和珠宝都可以购买)”可知，划线短语consists of后分别介绍了北楼和南楼的营业时间以及所卖的商品，故此处的画线短语与B项“由……组成”意思相近，圣劳伦斯市场在2012年被评为世界最佳食品市场，由两栋楼组成。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Toronto is a city of neighborhoods, thus wherever you are in Toronto, you’re bound to find yourself surrounded by shopping, dining and culture experiences unique to that specific area.(多伦多是一个充满社区的城市，所以无论你在多伦多的哪个地方，你一定会发现自己被那个特定区域特有的购物、餐饮和文化体验包围着)”和下文分别介绍的四个景点可知，这篇文章主要介绍了多伦多的四个有名的旅游景点，故可能取自一个旅游指南。故选B。

“Life is about daring to carry out your ideas,” said Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner.
One of the best-known living mountaineers, now 74, Messner became the first person to climb Mount Qomolangma alone and without the help of bottled oxygen (氧气) in 1980.
He also became, in 1986, the first to reach the world’s 14 mountain tops of over 8,000 meters, again without bottled oxygen.
Along the way, he has practiced a special style of mountaineering known as alpinism, in which climbers try to reach the top with as little material (材料) and outside help as possible.
But it is an art that is increasingly getting lost — today’s climbers depend on Sherpas (local guides for climbers in the Himalayas) and ready-made routes to reach the top, Messner said.
“The true alpinist doesn’t want such help. He wants to go into the wild,” he said.
His achievements have made him a great hero, but Messner says he has gotten into plenty of dangerous situations along the way，too.
“Around half of the top alpinists have died climbing,” he said.
“Of course, if I turn back more often than the others, I can increase my chances of survival,” he added. “But if I hadn’t been lucky a few times, I wouldn’t be here.”
Messner later moved on to different challenges (挑战), crossing the Gobi Desert and Antarctica.
He is also a writer and was in Frankfurt to present his latest book, “Wild”, telling the true story of a 1916 Antarctic expedition (探险).
Today, Messner spends his time making films and talks excitedly about his present one, which is set in Kenya, Africa, and tells the story of two climbers who run into trouble and are faced with life-changing situations.
After a lifetime of following his next dream, he believes film-making will be his final project.
“I was always at my best when I was learning, when I was curious (求知的),” he said.
6. What is special about true alpinists
A. They can reach the top quickly.
B. They try to depend on themselves.
C. They follow ready-made routes.
D. They often work with local guides.
7. What helped Messner survive dangerous situations
A. Good luck. B. Belief.
C. Good skills. D. Courage.
8. What does Messner tell us about the story of his new film
A. It is very interesting.
B. It happens in Africa.
C. It is based on his latest book.
D. It records his true experiences.
9. What is the text mainly about
A. A new film. B. A new book.
C. A great alpinist. D. A great expedition.
【答案】6. B 7. A 8. B 9. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了国际著名登山运动员梅斯纳尔和他的主要成就。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段的alpinism, in which climbers try to reach the top with as little material (材料) and outside help as possible.和第六段的The true alpinist doesn’t want such help. He wants to go into the wild可知真正的登山者尽量凭借自己的力量登上顶峰。B. They try to depend on themselves.（他们尽量依靠自己）符合以上说法，故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第九段的“But if I hadn’t been lucky a few times, I wouldn’t be here.”可知梅斯纳尔认为自己可以幸存是因为他很幸运。故选A项。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段的Today, Messner spends his time making films and talks excitedly about his present one, which is set in Kenya, Africa,可知梅纳尔斯的电影讲述发生在非洲肯尼亚的故事。B. It happens in Africa.（故事发生在非洲）符合以上说法，故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。本文的每一段几乎都提到了Reinhold Messner，而他是一个伟大的登山者，故本文主要讲述了一个伟大登山者的故事。 C. A great alpinist.（一个伟大的登山者）符合以上说法，故选C项。
C
By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi (茶百戏), an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern coffee art. However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing. Zhang Zhifeng, a practician of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (碾碎)tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth, and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the surface of whipped tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only that this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble what we have now, ”Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was listed as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng. He started researching the origins of chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of trials and practice. Zhang spent nearly 30 years studying and researching the origins and making of tea, but for him it was all worthwhile.
“This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history, ” Zhang said.
10. What do the underlined words “gone viral” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Become popular quickly.
B. Received good protection.
C. Started declining gradually.
D. Maintained highly competitive.
11. What do we know about chabaixi
A. It develops based on coffee art.
B. It is painted with whipped milk.
C. It mainly describes beautiful scenery.
D. It involves complicated tea-making skills.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The origin of chabaixi.
B. The significance of chabaixi.
C. The uniqueness of chabaixi.
D. The development of chabaixi.
13. What can be the best title for this passage
A. Zhang Zhifeng - A Practician of Chabaixi
B. Chabaixi - A Famous Tea-making Technique
C. Ancient Chinese Tea Trick Starting New Trends
D. Ancient Tea Technique Finds New Popular Recognition
【答案】10. A 11. D 12. B 13. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了中国古代茶艺“茶百戏”，因一部电视剧走红。这项技术于2017年被列入中国非物质文化遗产，并介绍了这项非遗技艺传承人张志峰为此所做的努力。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama(最近一部电视剧中展示的中国古代茶艺“茶百戏”)”及下文“However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing.(然而，十年前，这种独特的技术几近消失)”可知，一项古老的茶艺几乎失传，应该是很多人不知道的，但是在一部电视剧中展示这项技艺，应该是更多的观众对这项古老技艺有了了解。由此推断，划线部分的意思是由于这部电视剧“茶百戏”再次为人熟知，流行开来。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (碾碎)tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth, and finally drawing the patterns.(茶百戏可以创造出无数的图案，如竹子和山脉，甚至书法。从磨成细粉，到倒开水，搅拌成浓沫，最后画出图案，总共有十几道工序)”及“ The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.(画之前的泡茶过程被称为点茶。点茶的质量是以后能否成功制作出图案的关键)”可知，茶百戏涉及非常复杂的泡茶艺术。故选D项。
【12题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only that this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble what we have now.(茶百戏是中国无数种制茶技术中的一种。茶百戏的重要性不仅在于它的技术在世界上是独一无二的，还在于它让我们得以一窥宋代人们的生活方式，当时的休闲活动在某些方面与我们现在的生活方式很相似)”可知，该段落主要介绍这种古老技艺对于我们现代人具有重要意义。significance与importance意思一致。故选B项。
【13题详解】
标题判断题。根据第一段“By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi (茶百戏), an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern coffee art. However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing.( 最近一部电视剧中展示的中国古代茶艺“茶百戏”，通过在茶杯表面画图案，因其与现代咖啡艺术的明显相似而走红。然而，十年前，这种独特的技术几近消失)”可知，文章主要介绍一种古老几乎失传的一种中国茶艺因一部电视剧而重又被人了解认识，后面全文主要向读者介绍这种茶艺及其价值。故选D项。
D
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 neighbors. 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 smart phones that are with them almost all the time.
In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia. More than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote memorization was once an important part of modern 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 smiled 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.
14. Paragraph 1 is mainly used to________.
A. serve as the background B. introduce the topic
C. explain new research D. attract readers’ attention
15. What’s the main cause of people’s suffering from digital amnesia
A. Dealing with too many things. B. Seldom thinking about questions.
C. Relying on the Internet too much. D. The changes of their memories.
16. What can be learned from paragrpahs 3&4
A. People can receive less information using internet.
B. People can gain knowledge more easily than before.
C. It’s a bad thing to have a chance to think through things.
D. People find it hard to remember how to find information.
17. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s memories now
A. Worried. B. Optimistic. C. Disappointed. D. Confident.
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. B 17. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了很多人因依赖网络或手机来存储、记忆信息导致其对基本信息的记忆力下降，作者对此现象表示担忧。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“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 neighbors. 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 smart phones that are with them almost all the time.(你能记住多少个电话号码 可能比你想要的要少。 事实上，你并不孤单。在接受调查的1000多名美国人中，超过一半的人说他们想不起朋友和邻居的电话号码。44%的人说他们记不住亲戚的电话号码。在他们看来，如果手机号码几乎一直都存在他们身边，那么在他们的脑袋里塞满手机号码就没有意义了)”以及第二段“In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia. More than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote memorization was once an important part of modern education, but we just need a click or slide now. That’s making us worse at remembering things.(事实上，大多数人都患有某种数字健忘症。 超过90%的受访者认为他们把互联网当成了大脑的在线延伸。死记硬背曾经是现代教育的重要组成部分，但现在我们只需要点击或幻灯片。 这让我们的记忆力变差了)”可知，第一段提到了目前一种常见的现象：很多人都不能清楚地记住手机号码，因为他们认为有手机存储电话，大脑就没有必要记忆电话号码。第二段则指出了对网络的依赖削弱了人们的记忆力。即第一段是作为引子，引出了本文讨论的话题。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia. More than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote memorization was once an important part of modern education, but we just need a click or slide now. That’s making us worse at remembering things.(事实上，大多数人都患有某种数字健忘症。超过90%的受访者同意他们将互联网作为大脑的在线延伸。死记硬背曾经是现代教育的重要组成部分，但我们现在只需要点击或滑动一下。这让我们的记忆力变差了)”可知，是人们对网络依赖太多导致了健忘症。故选C。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.(研究人员发现，当人们希望从网上获取信息时，他们不太可能记住实际信息，但更可能记住如何找到这些信息)”以及第四段中“We certainly have access to more knowledge now than ever, even if it isn’t all stored in our brains.(我们现在接触到的知识肯定比以往任何时候都多，即使这些知识并没有全部储存在我们的大脑中)”可知，人们可以比以前更容易获得知识。故选B。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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.(即便如此，我仍然相信这个新的记忆世界存在更多的风险，而不仅仅是丧失回忆一些信息的能力，比如第15任总统是谁)”可知，作者认为人们记忆力减退有一定的风险性，可推测作者对这一现象是担忧的。故选A。

That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her cellphone.”Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But his parents had told him, “You don’t need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother, “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it ”
After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling (颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his own cellphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this He will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest ”
Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her cellphone,” she was trying to talk some sense into him.

However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her cellphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after a long and restless night, he was determined to return the cellphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.”
Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Kevin asked, “Are you the owner of the cellphone I’m Keith. I have your cellphone. Can you come and get it ” The girl replied “Yes” excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith. Handing back the cellphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy.

“Life is about daring to carry out your ideas,” said Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner.
One of the best-known living mountaineers, now 74, Messner became the first person to climb Mount Qomolangma alone and without the help of bottled oxygen (氧气) in 1980.
He also became, in 1986, the first to reach the world’s 14 mountain tops of over 8,000 meters, again without bottled oxygen.
Along the way, he has practiced a special style of mountaineering known as alpinism, in which climbers try to reach the top with as little material (材料) and outside help as possible.
But it is an art that is increasingly getting lost — today’s climbers depend on Sherpas (local guides for climbers in the Himalayas) and ready-made routes to reach the top, Messner said.
“The true alpinist doesn’t want such help. He wants to go into the wild,” he said.
His achievements have made him a great hero, but Messner says he has gotten into plenty of dangerous situations along the way，too.
“Around half of the top alpinists have died climbing,” he said.
“Of course, if I turn back more often than the others, I can increase my chances of survival,” he added. “But if I hadn’t been lucky a few times, I wouldn’t be here.”
Messner later moved on to different challenges (挑战), crossing the Gobi Desert and Antarctica.
He is also a writer and was in Frankfurt to present his latest book, “Wild”, telling the true story of a 1916 Antarctic expedition (探险).
Today, Messner spends his time making films and talks excitedly about his present one, which is set in Kenya, Africa, and tells the story of two climbers who run into trouble and are faced with life-changing situations.
After a lifetime of following his next dream, he believes film-making will be his final project.
“I was always at my best when I was learning, when I was curious (求知的),” he said.

By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi (茶百戏), an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern coffee art. However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing. Zhang Zhifeng, a practician of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (碾碎)tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth, and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the surface of whipped tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only that this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble what we have now, ”Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was listed as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng. He started researching the origins of chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of trials and practice. Zhang spent nearly 30 years studying and researching the origins and making of tea, but for him it was all worthwhile.
“This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history, ” Zhang said.
10. What do the underlined words “gone viral” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Become popular quickly.
B. Received good protection.
C. Started declining gradually.
D. Maintained highly competitive.
11. What do we know about chabaixi
A. It develops based on coffee art.
B It is painted with whipped milk.
C. It mainly describes beautiful scenery.
D. It involves complicated tea-making skills.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The origin of chabaixi.
B. The significance of chabaixi.
C. The uniqueness of chabaixi.
D. The development of chabaixi.
13. What can be the best title for this passage
A. Zhang Zhifeng - A Practician of Chabaixi
B. Chabaixi - A Famous Tea-making Technique
C. Ancient Chinese Tea Trick Starting New Trends
D. Ancient Tea Technique Finds New Popular Recognition

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 neighbors. 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 smart phones that are with them almost all the time.
In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia. More than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote memorization was once an important part of modern 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 smiled 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.
14. Paragraph 1 is mainly used to________.
A. serve as the background B. introduce the topic
C. explain new research D. attract readers’ attention
15. What’s the main cause of people’s suffering from digital amnesia
A. Dealing with too many things. B. Seldom thinking about questions.
C. Relying on the Internet too much. D. The changes of their memories.
16. What can be learned from paragrpahs 3&4
A. People can receive less information using internet.
B. People can gain knowledge more easily than before.
C. It’s a bad thing to have a chance to think through things.
D People find it hard to remember how to find information.
17. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s memories now
A. Worried. B. Optimistic. C. Disappointed. D. Confident.
