W: Sounds great! Then who's your favorite scientist?
M: Copernicus! He discovered the sun was the center of the universe, and all the planets went around it. He also discovered the earth was spinning while it was travelling around the sun. Our ideas of the universe are all based on his theory. And his theory even influenced the work of the great scientists, like Newton and Einstein afterwards.
W: Wow! I wonder how he made his discoveries.
M: Well, at his time, people believed the earth was the center of the universe. But if that was the case, some things didn't make sense. So, Copernicus tried to find an answer. He collected observations of the stars, and used all his mathematical knowledge to analyse them. That finally led to his theory.
W: Copernicus was great indeed!
M: Absolutely! But unfortunately, he didn't publish his theory until he was dying.
W: How come?
M: At that time, the Christian Church was extremely strict about ideas. If Copernicus put forward his theory, the theory would certainly have been rejected. And he himself would have been attacked and punished, too.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering 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 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. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is
c alle
d “transactiv
e 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 organize 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. What can we learn about the first experiment?
A. S parrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
25. In transactive memory, people ___.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
26. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.
『答案』24. C 25. D 26. A
『解析』
这是一篇说明文。

【25题详解】
细节理解题。

故选A。

C
Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.
I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the messy caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!
Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you’re back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.
Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain(抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.
And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?! Luckily, I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.
For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored. Until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.
Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10: 30 on a school night.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it’s also a lot more. It’s taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It’s remember ing that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
27. The underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.
A. unknown.
B. uncertain.
C. unexpected.
D. unusual.
28. According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that .
A. they both cause financial trouble and pain.
B. they are both hard as well as rewarding.
C. childhood memories come flooding back when they travel.
D. both of them need many preparations.
29. By saying “I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5, the author means that_ .
A. she tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.
B. she turns those annoying complaints into a means to educate kids.
C. she has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.
D. she has succeeded in escaping kids’ fighting thanks to the armor.
30. From the author’s experience in the passage, we can NOT learn that.
A. family vacation benefits her kids as well as her.
B. joy and memories should be created rather than discovered.
C. the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints.
D. she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation.
『答案』27. D 28. B 29. A 30. C
『解析』
本文是夹叙夹议文。

A. unknown.未知的；B. uncertain.不确定的；C. unexpected.出乎意料的；D. unusual 不同寻常的。

作者这样比喻是表示他们都很难却又有回报，故选B。

故选A。

【30题详解】
细节理解题。
