D As Inter users bee more dependent on the Inter to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your puter will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Inter 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 how the Inter is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a puter. The first group of people understood that the puter would save the information. The second group understood that the puter 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 puter. The information was in a specific puter folder(文件夾 ).Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Inter, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory”( 交互記憶 ). According to Sparrow, we are not being people with poor memories as a result of the Inter. Instead, puter users are developing stronger transactive memories??焖偻ㄆx,全文掃視,找到細(xì)節(jié)出處,待找到含細(xì)節(jié)句 子時(shí),放慢速度,仔細(xì)核對(duì)比較內(nèi)容,直至找到答案。 做細(xì)節(jié)理解題具體方法與步驟如下: ① 略讀材料,大概了解原文,掌握中心或主旨; ② 按文章的體裁,作者寫作的組織模式及有關(guān)的信息詞。事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)題的命 題特點(diǎn)是:對(duì)文章或某一段落中的一些特定細(xì)節(jié)或文章重要事實(shí)的理解,一般包括直接理解題和語(yǔ)義轉(zhuǎn)化題。 【名師點(diǎn)睛】 做好細(xì)節(jié)理解題的幾點(diǎn)建議: 細(xì)節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問題,是閱讀理解題中最簡(jiǎn)單的一種,多數(shù)屬中低難度的題。根據(jù)最后一段 adventuring was even then a thoroughly mercial start a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography” 可知 Alexander 認(rèn)為他的這次航行是商業(yè)行為,就是為了掙錢。故選 D. 10.
