lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking 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 saidin 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 note-taking 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 long-term 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.56. more and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can_ .a. write more notes b. digest concepts betterc. get higher scores d. understand lectures better57. while taking notes, laptop users tend to be _ .a. skillful b. mindless c. thoughtful d. tireless58. the author of the passage aims to _.a. examine the importance of long-term memoryb. stress the benefit of taking notes by handc. explain the process of taking notesd. promote

had been out drinkingone told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra moneyfemale students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were

eighty-four days now without taking a fish. in the first forty days a boy had been with him. but after forty days without a fish the boys parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. it made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff (鱼钩) and harpoon (鱼叉) and the sail that was furled around the mast (桅杆). the sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat. the old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. the brown blotches（斑点）of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. the blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. but none of these scars were fresh. they were as old as erosions in a fishless desert. everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated. “santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the skiff was pulled up. “i could go with you again. weve made some money.” the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “no,” the old man said. “youre with a lucky boat. stay with them.” “but remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.” “i remember,” the old man said. “i know you did not leave me because you doubted.” “it was papa who made me leave. i am a boy and i must obey him.” “i know,” the old man said. “it is quite normal.”“he hasnt much faith.” “no,” the old man said. “but we have. havent we?” “yes,” the boy said. “can i offer you a beer on the terrace and then well take the stuff home.” “why not?” the old man said. “between fishermen.” 68. the boy left the old man and went in another boat to fish because .a. the old man preferred to fish alone b. the old man was unluckyc. the boys parents ordered him tod. the old mans sail suggested a permanent defeat69. after reading this passage, we may safely conclude that .a. the old man was insistent and not afraid of failureb. the boys papa had confidence in everythingc. the old man caught big fishes during eighty-seven daysd. the boy obeyed his father because he had some doubts about the old man70. what might happen after the last paragraph? a. the old man and the boy might go to fish with other fishermen.b. the old man might go to have a drink with the boy.c. the old man and the boy might go to enjoy beer at the old mans home.d. the old man might go to tell the boys papa about the secrets between fishermen.第四节：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一
