But our obsession with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember them, according to new research. A study has shown that taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.Dr. Linda Henkel, from Fairfield University, Connecticut, described it as the photo-taking impairment effect. She said: People so often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them. When people rely on technology to remember for themcounting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselvesit can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences.Dr Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum, to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or try and remember objects on display. The next day their memory was tested. The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.Henkels lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo, such as whether you are in it, affects later memory. She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember the objects, but only if we take the time.Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them, said Dr Henkel.31. What does the word “them”, in the first paragraph, refer to? A. Gifts at a birthday. B. People who go to parties.C. Photos taken at a wedding.D. Details of the happiest moments.32. What is the “photo-taking impairment effect”?A. Some unhappy events may impair the effects of photos.B. Taking photographs of objects ruins ones memory of them.C. The effects of photos are strongly affected by bad cameras.D. Memories last forever when people take the photos they like most.33. What can we learn about Dr. Linda Henkels study?A. A group of high school students were involved.B. The memory of participants was tested the following week.C. People who just looked at the objects remembered fewer details.D. People who photographed objects were worse at recognizing them.34. With which of the following may Dr. Linda Henkel agree?A. Reviewing photos improves memories of objects.B. Focusing on people at events is the best way to remember.C. Relying on technology to remember affects the memory.D. Counting on cameras to record events is always reliable.35. The passage is probably taken from_.A. a health magazineB. a cultural overviewC. an economics reportD. an entertainment website第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Sleep BetterIf youre having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful nights sleep. 1Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 36 For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because thats when you start to feel sleepy，and its also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 am，you probably wont be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am. 2. 37 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns. 3 38 Exposure to light during the time when youre supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your bodys internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light. 39 They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes. 4Change your sleeping position. You may think that its impossible to control what position you sleep in since you arent fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 40 A. Try to avoid all sources of light . .B. Keep the room as dark as possible. .C Make note of unusual circumstances. D Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed. bed. ESleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.FIn other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”GIf you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.第三部分: 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。Once upon a time, there was a great fakir(苦行者) who lived a simple life.
