题目内容
【题目】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 computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive 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(获取) 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.

【3】In transactive memory, people ________.
A. keep the information in mind

C. remember how to find the information
D. organize information like a computer
【4】What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A. We are becoming more intelligent.
B. We are using memory differently.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to get information.
【答案】

【解析】
试题分析:文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖局联网储存信息,人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢?专家研究认为互联网只改变了人们使用记忆的方式。
【1】A细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.可知,作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。故选A。
【2】C细节理解题。根据第二段中People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.可知,C项是正确的,故选C。
【3】C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)可知,在交互记忆力,人们记得怎样找到信息,故选C。
【4】B细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句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.可知,按照Sparrow的研究,因特网改变了我们使用记忆的方式,故选B。
