题目内容
12．The police needed more evidence they could draw a conclusion．（ ）| A． | since | B． | after | C． | before | D． | until |
分析 警方需要更多的证据才能得出结论．/在警方得出结论之前，他们需要更多的证据．
解答 答案C．
since意思是"自从…以来"时，引导时间状语从句；意思是"既然"时，引导原因状语从句．after"在…之后"，引导时间状语从句．before"在…之前；才…"，引导时间状语从句．until"直到"，引导时间状语从句．这四个从属连词有一个共同点是都可以引导时间状语从句，但从动作发生的时间上来分析可知，needed发生在could draw之前，故答案选C．
点评 本题考查从属连词的用法．连词的用法辨析，要注意分析主从句之间的逻辑关系，再确定相应的连词，同时注意不同的连词的语义及用法区别．

2．An Extension of the Human Brain
Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies （欠缺），much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency．To be exact，other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions．When another person helps us in such ways，he or she is participating in what I've called a"social prosthetic （义肢的）system．"Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face，and it's clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems．It's already a big bank of many minds．Even in its current state，the Internet has extended my memory and judgment．
Regarding memory：Once I look up something on the Internet，I don't need to keep all the details for future use-I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so．More generally，the Internet functions as if it were my memory．This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I'm writing； I'm no longer comfortable writing if I'm not connected to the Internet．It's become natural to check facts as I write，taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed，Wikipedia，or other websites．
Regarding judgment：The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large．For example，when I'm writing a textbook，it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term，which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning．But more than that，I now regularly compare my views with those of many others．If I have a"new idea，"I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it，or something similar-and I then compare what I think with what others have thought．This certainly makes my own views clearer．Moreover，I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet．
These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I've begun using a smartphone．I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact，watch a video，read weibo．Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time （such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting）．
But that's the upside （好处）．The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea．Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between．
