Ⅲ.阅读理解
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 conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know if 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.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 organise 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.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了互联网是否正在改变我们的记忆方式并介绍了相关的实验及研究。
1．Why does the passage begin with two questions
A．To introduce the main topic.
B．To show the author's attitude.
C．To describe how to use the Internet.
D．To explain how to store information.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，专家们想知道，互联网是否正在改变我们的记忆，以及如何改变我们的记忆。这是本文的中心话题。因此推断，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。
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.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知，第一组没有记信息。
√
3．In transactive memory, people .
A．keep the information in mind
B．change the quantity of information
C．organise information like a computer
D．remember how to find the information
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Rather，they remember how to find it.This is called ‘transactive memory’．”可知，交互记忆引导人们记住怎样找到信息。
√
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 memories than before.
D．We need a better way to access information.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ 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。

Ⅳ.语法填空

On the other hand, scientists also warn us about the loss of privacy. No matter what, don't spend your whole day in front of the screen, said the founder of the Web.“We need to see green stuff, to be in the open, and to see 10 sun，” said Berners-Lee.
