　　A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(筆記本電腦).

　　Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.

　　Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.

　　In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note­taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.

　　The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.

　　The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”

　　In another experiment aimed at testing long­term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.

　　These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.

　　5.More and more students favor laptops for note­taking because they can________.

　　A.write more notes

　　B.digest concepts better

　　C.get higher scores

　　D.understand lectures better

　　6.While taking notes，laptop users tend to be________.

　　A.skillful B.mindless

　　C.thoughtful D.tireless

　　7.The author of the passage aims to________.

　　A.examine the importance of long­term memory

　　B.stress the benefit of taking notes by hand

　　C.explain the process of taking notes

　　D.promote the use of laptops

　　8.The passage is likely to appear in________.

　　A.a newspaper advertisement

　　B.a computer textbook

　　【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。本文揭示實(shí)驗(yàn)研究的結(jié)果，用筆記本電腦記筆記的人記憶和應(yīng)用概念的能力較差，而用手記筆記的人在考試中的表現(xiàn)更好。

　　5.A　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段句“Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)”可知，學(xué)生越來(lái)越多地使用筆記本電腦記筆記是因?yàn)樗�的速度和清晰度，這說(shuō)明用筆記本電腦記筆記速度快、記得多。故選A。

　　6.B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught”可知，研究已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)筆記本電腦的使用者沒(méi)能記住和應(yīng)用教給他們的概念。由此可推知，筆記本電腦的使用者在記筆記時(shí)是不動(dòng)腦子的。故選B。

　　7.B　解析：推理判斷題。本文通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)發(fā)現(xiàn)了用筆記本電腦記筆記的不良效果和用手記筆記的優(yōu)勢(shì)，兩者相比突出了用手記筆記的好處。故選B。

　　8.C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文揭示實(shí)驗(yàn)研究的結(jié)果，用筆記本電腦記筆記的人記憶和應(yīng)用概念的能力較差，而用手記筆記的人在考試中的表現(xiàn)更好。由此可推知，本文應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在科學(xué)雜志里。故選C。

　　C

　　Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert，Dr.Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food，hidden in a box.Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves.To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were，Dr.Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.

　　She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.

　　The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching.

　　This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (認(rèn)知的) tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.

　　The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.

　　9.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

　　A.The design of Dr.Carter's research.

　　B.The results of Dr.Carter's research.

　　C.The purpose of Dr.Carter's research.

　　D.The significance of Dr.Carter's research.

　　10.According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?

　　A.Those that have more experience.

　　B.Those that can avoid potential risks.

　　C.Those that like to work independently.

　　D.Those that feel anxious about learning.

　　11.Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?

　　A.Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.

　　B.Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.

　　C.Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.

　　D.Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.

　　12.Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ________.

　　A.storing information

　　B.learning from each other

　　C.understanding different people

　　D.travelling between social groups

　　答案：

　　【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇科普說(shuō)明文。劍橋大學(xué)的一些研究人員通過(guò)對(duì)狒狒的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，影響狒狒學(xué)習(xí)成效的因素不是它們的智力，而是其性格以及對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的渴望程度。這一研究結(jié)果也適用于人類(lèi)社會(huì)：如果我們不善于與他人溝通或太膽怯而不能利用所得到的信息，那么會(huì)阻礙以社會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)為基礎(chǔ)的文化的形成。

　　9.A　解析：推理判斷題。段描述了研究人員如何開(kāi)展這一研究的具體細(xì)節(jié)：把新奇的食物和熟悉的食物藏在一個(gè)盒子里，有些狒狒有機(jī)會(huì)觀看另外一只狒狒是如何完成任務(wù)的，而另外一些狒狒則不得不自學(xué)完成任務(wù)，因此選A項(xiàng)“卡特博士研究的設(shè)計(jì)”，而非研究的“結(jié)果”“目的”或“重要性”。

　　10.D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段中The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn...及第三段中The anxious individuals learnt...while those who were relaxed did not...這些對(duì)實(shí)驗(yàn)的描述可知D項(xiàng)“那些渴望學(xué)習(xí)的狒狒”符合題意。

　　11.C　解析：推理判斷題。該詞所在上文，即第二、三段提到在觀察了別的狒狒之后，勇敢的、渴望學(xué)習(xí)的狒狒學(xué)到本領(lǐng)，而害羞的狒狒學(xué)了卻不像別的狒狒那樣去做;再根據(jù)between collecting social information and using it可知與“收集”和“使用”對(duì)應(yīng)的是“觀察別人但不跟著做”，即C項(xiàng)。

　　12.B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。最后一段首句The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.意為“研究結(jié)果可能會(huì)影響我們?nèi)绾卫斫馍鐣?huì)文化的形成，該文化的形成是通過(guò)社會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)獲得的”。換言之，作者認(rèn)為我們的文化是通過(guò)social learning而形成的，與B項(xiàng)“互相學(xué)習(xí)”相呼應(yīng)，而非“儲(chǔ)存信息”“理解不同的人”或“在社會(huì)群體間傳播”。
