Unit 4 Making the news.阅读理解(2017安徽省六安市第一中学月考)A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual notetaking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears. ”In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.1More and more students favor laptops for notetaking because they can _.Awrite more notes Bdigest concepts betterCget higher scores Dunderstand lecture better2While taking notes，laptop users tend to be _.AskillfulBtirelessCthoughtful Dmindless3The author of the passage aims to _.Aexamine the importance of longterm memoryBstress the benefit of taking notes by handCexplain the process of taking notes Dpromote the use of laptops4The passage is likely to appear in _.Aa finance report Ba computer textbook Ca science magazine Da newspaper advertisement答案与解析本文是一篇说明文。本文揭示实验研究的结果，用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。1A细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)”可知，学生越来越多地使用笔记本电脑记笔记是因为它的速度和清晰度，这说明用笔记本电脑记笔记速度快记得多。故选A。2D推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught”可知，研究已经发现笔记本电脑的使用者没能记住和应用教给他们的概念。由此可推知，笔记本电脑的使用者在记笔记时是不动脑子的。故选D。3B推理判断题。本文通过实验发现了用笔记本电脑记笔记的不良效果和用手记笔记的优势，两者相比突出了用手记笔记的好处。故选B。4C推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，本文揭示实验研究的结果，用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。由此可推知，本文应该出现在科学杂志里。故选C。.七选五(2016北京高考)The Science of RiskSeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. _1_ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risktakers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. _2_ As the quality of risktaking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risktaking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stayinthecave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. _3_No matter where you are on the riskseeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. _4_ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well._5_ For the riskseekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of riskseeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.AIt all depends on your character.BThose are the risks you should jump to take.CBeing better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.DThus, these wellequipped people survived because they were the fittest.EThis is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.FHowever, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.GNew brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.答案与解析本文是一篇说明文。早期，人类为了生存，需要冒险精神。这样，人类喜欢冒险的性格特点就延续下来，然而有一部分人可能不喜欢冒险。专家说这可能与我们的大脑活动有关系。1F根据上文“when we weigh the risk and the reward”可知，本段围绕危险的衡量标准展开；根据下文“Some of us enjoy.scare the rest of us.”可知，衡量风险和奖赏的标准因人而异。F项“不是所有人都用相同的标准衡量风险和奖赏”与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选F。2C根据上文可知，冒险家更擅长狩猎、打斗和探险。根据下文可知，冒险精神被一代又一代的人传承下来，即擅长冒险的人生存下来了，并传承了这些精神。C项“擅长这些事情意味着有较大的生存机会”符合语境。故选C。3A根据上文“humans developed a range of character types.hate it”可知，人类形成的一系列的性格类型延续至今。所以你可能喜欢或者讨厌赛车。A项“这由你的性格决定”与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选A。4EE项“青少年时期正是你走出家庭、走向更广阔的世界的时候”与上文中的“during your teenage years”相照应，符合语境。故选E。5G根据下文可知，对于冒险者来说，与兴奋有关联的那部分大脑会变得活跃；而对于我们其余的人来说，与恐惧有关联的大脑部分会变得活跃。由此可知，G项“新的大脑研究表明，我们面对紧张的情况时，大脑反应也不同”是对下文的总结，符合语境。故选G。.语法填空(2017长沙市望城区第一中学月考)Have you ever seen the TV show “where are we going, Dad？” It is now without doubt the most popular TV show in China, attracting over 600 million viewers each week.
