Question

4．A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legib ility（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 professor 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 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 researcher's 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 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 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．
 
24．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they canA．
A．write more notes                         
B．digest concepts better．
C．get higher scores                          
D．understand lectures better
25．While taking notes，laptop users tend to beB．
A．skillful．
B．mindless．
C．thoughtful．
D．tireless．
26．The author of the passage aims toC．
A．examine the importance of long-term memory．
B．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C．explain the process of taking notes
D．promote the use of lap tops．
27．The passage is likely to appear inC．
A．a newspaper advertisement                
B．a computer textbook．
C．a science magazine                      
D．a finance report．

Answer 1

分析 文章介绍通过实验发现手写记笔记比用笔记本记笔记好处更多，学生更容易记住记的材料．这样可以督促学生多用手记笔记．

解答 24．A  细节理解题：根据文章第二段第一行的句子：Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility（清晰度）．可知越来越多的学生喜欢用笔记本记笔记，因为这样他们可以记更多的笔记．所以选A．
25．B  细节理解题：根据第三段的句子，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可知使用笔记本记笔记的学生往往是无意识的．所以选B．
26．C  写作意图题：文章介绍通过实验发现手写记笔记比用笔记本记笔记好处更多，学生更容易记住记的材料，所以作者是想强调用手记笔记的重要性．所以选C．
27．C   推理判断题：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．作者介绍手写记笔记和用笔记本记笔记好处相比，学生更容易记住记的材料．这个结果是通过两个实验得出的，所以应该是出现在科学杂志上，而不是：报纸广告，电脑课文，和财经报道，所以选C．
