11、representing a family.She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks.This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California.However,when Helene and her husband left their home in Vietnam in 1975,t

12、hey didnt have much money.They moved their family to San Francisco.There they joined Dannys mother,Diana,who 高二英语试卷第 4 页 共 12 页 owned a small Italian sandwich shop.Soon afterwards,Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant.The five daughters helped in the restauran

13、t when they were young.However,Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves,but one by one,the daughters returned to work in the family business.They op

19、our 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 how the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment,they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type

20、 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

21、 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 Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remembered the folder location better than the facts.When people us

22、e the Internet,they do not remember the information.Rather,they remember how to find it.This is called“transactive memory”.According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the computer.Instead,computer users are developing stronger transactive memories;that is,people

23、 are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date.This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24.Why does the passage begin with two questions?A.To introduc

26、Remembering how to find the information.C Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid,making it much easier to store.Carbon capture isnt new,but previous methods call for

27、the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground.Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks.Instead,in a study published in Nature Communications,the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for tr

28、ansforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化剂)that is efficient in conducting electricity.CO2 gas is dissolved in a container with some liquid.Once electricity charge is introduced,the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon,which can be collected and stored.W

29、hat makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature.Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature,which made it impossible on a large scale.Now,the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create eve

30、n further when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit,the solid carbon also works as an electrode(焊条),which opens up a world of possibilities.“A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge,becoming a super battery,so it could potentially be used as a

34、 for the passage?A.How to change carbon into CO2.B.A new carbon capture technology.C.A new technology to get useful carbon.D.Australia makes the world cleaner than before.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Americans use the term“college students”to mean students eith
