suggests. the findings, based on performances and selfevaluations by about 275 college students, indicated that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and cant focus on one activity. and “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things，” said david sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the university of utah.sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensationseeking (寻求刺激) or impulsive(冲动)they were. they then evaluated the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. but those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. they also were more likely to admit to sensationseeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted. “people multitask not because its going to lead to greater productivity, but because theyre distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important，” sanbonmatsu said.adam gazzaley, a researcher at the university of california, san francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldnt find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether peoples recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.the findings do suggest, however, why the sensationseekers who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “people who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations，” said paul atchely, another researcher not in the group. “this may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though theyre dangerous.”文章大意：本文为一篇科普短文，介绍了sanbonmastu与他的同事们的一项研究结果：同时干很多事情的人往往有最糟糕的结果，这是因为这些人干事情不专心，他们不能对潜在的危险作出迅速的反应。17the research led by sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask _.aseek high productivity constantlybprefer handling different things when getting boredcare more focused when doing many things at a timedhave the poorest results in doing various things at the same time答案：d细节理解题。由文章第一句话研究结果：people who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once.可知，这样的人在同时干很多事情时往往结果最差，故正确答案为d。18when sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they _.aassessed the multitasking ability of the studentsbevaluated the academic achievements of the studentscanalyzed the effects of the participants tricky mental tasksdmeasured the changes of the students understanding ability答案：a细节理解题。文章第二段提到他们让参与的学生干这干那，然后他们“evaluates the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task.”可知a项正确。19according to sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their _.alimited power in calculationbinterests in doing things differentlycinability to concentrate on one task dimpulsive desire to try new things答案：c细节理解题。由文章第四段sanbonmastu所说的话“people multitask not because its going to lead to greater productivity but because they are distractible and they get sucked into things that are not important.”可知。distractible意为“不专心的，分心的”，因此正确答案为c。20from the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually _.adrive very skillfullybgo in for difficult taskscfail to react quickly to potential dangersdrefuse to explain the reasons for their behavior答案：c推理判断题。文章最后一段提到研究结果表明：这些寻找感觉的人(sensationseekers指的是他们的感觉不灵敏)往往会“multitask the most”但是却有“enjoy risky distractible driving”的结果，这是因为这些人往往“less sensitive to risky situation”，即：对潜在的危险不能迅速作出反应，故c项为正确答案。【2013嘉定区】guided writingdirections: write an english composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in chinese.我国部分省份己经开始了教科书的循环使用（recycling

【参考范文】sample 1 away flows time. there are so many unforgettable things in my school life which are worth mentioning. the most wonderful one, which ill remember for good is taking part in the english speech contest. i used to be a shy boy who lacked confidence. at the beginning of the senior three year my best friend encouraged me to participate in the speech contest. afraid of delivering an address on the stage, i declined. i, in the end, agreed as he insisted. he helped me practice my speech skills as well as gestures and standing position. my skills were improved, modestly but steadily. then came the day of the contest. nervous as i was, i walked onto the stage, smile on face. with so many people seated in the hall, i felt anxious and my speech was not fluent at first. when i saw my friend listening attentively, i remembered the nights we spent together practicing speech. i was inspired and the speech flowed on successfully. the audience applauded with appreciation at the end of the speech while i happily found i was no longer the shy boy. it was the support from my friend that enabled me to gain confidence. while life in senior three is occupied, wonderful things take place every day, the precious friendliness has left such a deep impression on my mind that i will never forget it.
