能力提升
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了过度拍照可能损害大脑记忆能力，并给出了合理拍照的建议。
1．C　解析：句意：但在你这样做之前，这里有一个拍照者需要知道的惊人发现…… surprised感到惊讶的；excited兴奋的；surprising令人惊讶的；exciting令人兴奋的。根据“here's a(n)...finding that photo-takers need to know”并结合语境可知，这是一个令人惊讶的发现。故选C。
2．A　解析：句意：事实上，拍太多照片可能会损害大脑保存记忆的能力…… In fact事实上；At first起初；In short简而言之；At times有时。根据上下文逻辑关系可知，此处表示转折。故选A。
3．C　解析：句意同上。advantage优势；health健康；ability能力；activity活动。根据“to keep memories”可知，此处指大脑的记忆能力。故选C。
4．B　解析：句意：所以你可能会得到照片，但会失去一些记忆。or或者；but但是；however然而；so因此。“get the photo”和“lose some memories”是转折关系。故选B。
5．A　解析：句意：Loftus解释说：“我们要么放弃了记住时刻的责任，要么被拍照过程分散了注意力。”either要么；whether是否；none没有；neither两者都不。根据“or”可知，此处是either...or...结构。故选A。
6．C　解析：句意：……你不太可能随时记住它，因为你的大脑告诉你这没有必要。unless除非；until直到；because因为；although虽然。空处前后句是因果关系。故选C。
7．B　解析：句意：但拍照者不需要感到沮丧。think over仔细考虑；feel down感到沮丧；take care小心；try out尝试。根据“But”表转折和下文建议可知，此处指不需要感到沮丧。故选B。
8．C　解析：句意：如果你的目标是记住一次特别的旅行或活动，那么减少使用相机的时间是很有必要的。warning警告；regretting后悔；reducing减少；spending花费。根据“Take a few good pictures, then put down the phone.”可知，此处指要减少使用相机的时间。故选C。
9．A　解析：句意：让一位朋友或家人在重要活动中为你拍照，这样你就可以充分享受活动了。fully充分地，完全地；angrily生气地；suddenly突然；politely礼貌地。根据“enjoy the activity”可知，此处指充分享受活动。故选A。
10．D　解析：句意：只有当我们花时间浏览照片时，照片才是保存记忆的有用工具，但并非每个人都能做到这一点。final最终的，最后的；harmful有害的；popular流行的，受欢迎的；useful有用的，实用的。句子通过“only if”构建条件关系，强调照片在“保存记忆”方面的功能性，因此“useful”最能体现其工具属性和积极意义。故选 D。
