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 how 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 remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Instead, 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.
24. Why does the author start the passage with two questions
A. To show his/her attitude. B. To introduce the main topic.
C. To describe how to use the Internet. D. To 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 two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The second group did not understand the information.
D. The first group did not try to remember the information.
26. What would people do in transactive memory
A. Keep the information in mind. B. Remember how to find the information.
C. Change the quantity of information. D. Organise information like a computer.
27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research
A. We need a better way to access information.
B. We have poorer memories than before.
C. We are becoming more intelligent.
D. We are using memory differently.
C
Rehan Staton recently found out he was accepted to Harvard Law School. For him, the sky has the limit, but it wasn't always that way.
The young college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs, breaking his back. But, despite his father's best efforts, financial burdens steadily mounted. Staton's study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forwards. He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.
But with help from a free tutor, Staton's grades improved. He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school. However, his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports. He was rejected from every school he applied to.
So to help support his family, Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company, which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined. "It caught me by surprise how much the people in the company uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself," he told the reporter. "They encouraged me to reapply to college. They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future."
Through persistence, he took the LSAT (法学院入学考试) and applied to nine schools — getting accepted to five. Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School — and he'll never forget all the people who helped him get there. "Throughout this time, people ask me, 'How did you do it '. It's more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win," Staton said. "When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you're investing into yourself, you have others investing into you too."
28. What can we know about Staton from Paragraph 2
A. He received special care from his teacher.
B. He used to have poor academic performance.
C. He worked three jobs to help support his family.
D. He lost sight of his goal due to family difficulties.
29. What does the underlined word "dwindled" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Became fewer. B. Remained the same.
C. Increased a bit. D. Changed at last.
30. What made Staton surprised while working as a trash collector
A. The mixed backgrounds of his co-workers.
B. The misunderstanding about garbage men.
C. The encouragement from his co-workers.
D. The misfortune of the people in the company.
31. What can we infer from the passage
A. Courage is resistance to fear and pain.
B. Success comes from sweat and support.
C. Achievements are going from failure to failure.
D. Progress takes place outside the comfort zone.
D
A European Union programme is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses 3D printing to recreate famous paintings so they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt's The Kiss. It is a popular attraction at the Upper Belvedere in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a couple standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting around 1907. In the past, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3D versions of artwork years ago. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple's robes are so detailed.
Dominika Raditsch was a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said, "Exactly, can you see these There are so many details." Raditsch said she could imagine what the original painting looks like when she touched the reproduction. "It's somehow round. You can feel it. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it's so smooth. And then I think to myself: It probably shines too!" Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado Museum, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
32. What is The Kiss
A. A European Union project. B. A popular painting.
C. A 3D technology. D. A famous museum.
33. Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish
A. The painting was reproduced detailedly. B. The original artwork was made in 1908.
C. Blind art fans can't download the source. D. The 3D technology is not available.
34. How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction
A. Embarrassed. B. Puzzled. C. Excited. D. Upset.
35. What can be the best title for the passage
A. A European Union programme for museum visitors
B. 3D printing lets the blind experience famous paintings
C. How to reproduce the world-famous paintings
D. A special museum for art fans in Vienna, Austria

In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important. 36 While I have only listed two of them, there are obviously many other situations that can arise. Students should be able to extend the logic (逻辑) of each to their particular circumstance.
Do's
● 37 Questions about the subject content are generally welcomed. Before asking questions about the course design, read the syllabus (课程大纲) and learning management system information to be sure the answer isn't hiding in plain sight.
● Participate in discussion forums (论坛), blogs and other open-ended forums for dialogue. 38 Be sure to stay on topic and not to offer irrelevant information. Make a point, and make it safe for others to do the same.
Don'ts
● Don't share personal information or stories. Professors are not trained nurses, financial aid experts or your best friends. If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor. 39
● Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class. 40 When a student attacks a professor on the social media, the language used actually says more about the student. If there is truly a concern about a professor's professionalism or ability, be sure to use online course evaluations to calmly offer your comments.
A. That's what they are for.
B. Turn to an online instructor for help.
C. If more information is needed, they will ask.
D. Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.
E. Below are some common do's and don'ts for online learners.
F. Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.
G. Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The transformer (变压器) blew up just a few feet away from where I stood. One second, I was on the roof of a restaurant kitchen, cleaning exhaust vents (排气口). The next, I was lying on the ground, my body badly burnt.
Before that terrible day, music had been the very centre of my world. My father was a famous guitarist, and I grew up watching him perform. When I turned 14, I fell in love with drumming at once. By 22, I was playing for two bands and getting ready to apply to the famous university — Atlanta Institute of Music and Media. Then the electric shock (触电) changed everything.
I woke up in a hospital bed. The doctors told me that I had to have my arm amputated (截肢), which broke my heart. I lost my job, spending endless days watching TV, trapped in sadness. I kept thinking about one thing I would never do again — playing the drums. Even with a common prosthesis (假肢), I could not picture myself holding a drumstick ever again.
Days turned into weeks, and I slowly sank into hopelessness. Then one afternoon, a documentary came on. It told the story of a musician who had lost an arm in an accident, yet never stopped performing. For the first time since the accident, I didn't feel sorry for myself — I felt inspired. At that moment, I was jolted awake: I could not let this accident destroy my life.
Without hesitation, I pulled my drum kit (架子鼓) out, and tied a drumstick tightly to my prosthetic arm with tape. Playing the drums caused great pain, but I could still keep a steady beat. This was when I decided to fight back, not to waste away in sadness any longer.
With that fresh resolve, I began designing my own drumming prosthesis. The first version was simple and rough, which caused great pain. Later, I made an improved one with springs and bearings, which worked well enough for me to play confidently again.

One possible version:
Dear Kenton,
I've received your letter. I know that you are worried about your exam scores. However, even the best student will make mistakes sometimes, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. And here is some advice that may help you a bit.
Firstly, you'd better make a good plan to use your time wisely during the exams. Secondly, leave a few minutes in the end to check your answers in the exams. Finally, learning from your mistakes in the past exams is a quick way to stop making the same mistakes next time. If there are questions, you should turn to your teachers or classmates for help.
I believe with my advice and a good learning habit, you will finally gain success in your exams.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
What made me feel relieved was that months of practice finally paid off. My modified prosthetic arm grew more flexible with every beat, and my skills gradually returned to what they once were. No longer limited by pain or frustration, I could play complex rhythms smoothly and even create my own simple beats. A year later, I felt I had recovered enough to reapply to the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media. When I walked into the audition room, my heart beat fast not with fear, but with strong determination. Finally, I was accepted. I cherished the chance more and practised even harder,. determined to realise my musical dream.
Paragraph 2:
Shortly before graduation, I stepped onto the stage for my first public performance. Holding the drumstick firmly attached to my arm, I closed my eyes and started playing. As the music started, I lost myself in the beats. The powerful rhythm echoed through the room, and the audience cheered loudly as soon as I finished my performance. At that moment, I realised the accident had not stolen my dream; it had only made my love for music stronger. I would keep drumming, proving that hope and determination could overcome any hardship.

M: Good morning, everyone. Thanks for listening to the Weather Channel on your local TV station. We are the best place to hear important weather news. I hope you are having a great Monday morning. It's going to be a beautiful day today — sunny with temperatures around seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to wear your sunglasses and a hat. It will get hotter in the middle of the day and cooler at night. There will be no rain today, but there might be a little bit of rain tomorrow. It will stay warm, though. There may be very bad weather later in the week, on Friday and Saturday. We could have a lot of lightning and storms. So, you should stay inside as much as you can on those days. But today, the sun will be strong, and you should go outside! Maybe go to the park with the kids. Thanks for listening, and be safe in the bad weather this weekend!
