Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking be

24、cause 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 wo

25、rd 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 note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk , they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well the

26、y 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 no

27、tes 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 long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand perfo

28、rmed 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.51. More and more students prefer laptops to note-taking because they can . A. write mor

29、e notes B. digest concepts better C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better52. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be . A. skillful B. mindless C. thoughtful D. tireless53.

The passage is likely to appear in .A. a newspaper advertisement B. a computer textbookC. a science magazine D. a finance reportB(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty mov

31、ie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesnt realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly arent the first person hes met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situ

32、ation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you dont have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and

33、 you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.

34、Situation INQ: If I remember my friends birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. Happy belated birthday! is short for: Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy bi

35、rthday.Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Dont lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.

What is the passage mainly about? A. Modern ways to mind your manners. B. Different ways to change others manner

38、s. C. Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of usever imagi

39、ned. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition depending on who needs it.Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are

40、 shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌)networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is des

41、troyed, it affects all.Simard talks about mother trees, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down mot

42、her trees with no awareness of these highly complex tree societies or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.We didnt take any notice of it Simard says sadly. Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them

43、chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.59. The underlined sentence the opposite is true in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees . A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wea

44、lthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees60. Mother trees are extremely important because they .A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex tree societies61. The underlined w

45、ord it in the last paragraph refers to .A. how tree societies workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive62. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Astonishing

46、 Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员)and profits (利润) of over $2 million per year. Hes never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at

47、 her, Travis took her away. Your working uniform is your shelter, he told her. Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throu

48、ghout an employees occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-impor

49、tant habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a persons success. And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control arent working hardbut thats because theyve made it automati

50、c, Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it. The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to ma

51、ke willpower a habit in workers lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.63. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must .A. learn to give lecturesB. atten

52、d education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby64. Willpower will become a habit when employees can .A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feeling well65. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large comp

53、any.B. G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.ENo one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of wo

54、rk better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.Lets take a man well call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested an

55、d sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didnt make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.Supp

56、ose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other fa

57、rmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood

58、and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs

59、. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that

60、term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get peoples attention.A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enoug

61、h to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came fro

62、m, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in todays world. 66. What probably led to the start of advertisement?A. The discovery of iron.B. The specialization of labor. C. The appearance of new jobs. D. The development of farming techni

63、ques.67. To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright _. A. praised his plows in public B. placed a sign outside the shop C. hung an arrow pointing to the shop D. showed his products to the customers68. The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to _. A. explain the origi

64、n of advertising B. predict the future of advertising C. expose problems in advertising D. provide suggestions for advertising69. In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who _. A. owned a ship B. had the loudest voice C. ran a shop selling goods to farmers D. functioned like todays TV or radi

73、lize how important it is to keep a healthy diet. Wanghui，my law-in-sister, is a distinguished student. Faced with the pressure of the national college entrance examination, she had been working hard. Sometimes, she even went to school without breakfast or lunch. Day by day, she got weaker and weaker，resulting in her feeling sleepy in class. Yesterday, its a pity that she should fail in the English exam.Form the above example concerning with Wanghui, we may safely draw a conclusion that only if we keep a balanced diet will we have a healthy body to achieve our goals.
