【题目】As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your 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 the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type 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 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 computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
【1】The passage begins with two questions to ______.
A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude
C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information
【2】In transactive memory, people ______.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
【3】What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.

Dear Peter,
I'm glad to hear from you. Thank you very much for inviting me to America in this summer. I'd like to accept your warm invitation, and I'm sorry that I can't go to your hometown and visit you.

【题目】Four ways the increasingly mobile workforce is transforming office design
As more and more office employees start working from home full-time or only come into work on certain days of the week, it no longer makes sense for employers to keep the office in the old fashion.【1】 So, be ready to say goodbye to the days of cubicles (隔间) and fixed desk stations and welcome the following changes in modern offices.
Including more resting spaces and leisure areas
While some people tend to work more productively in traditional desk-and-chair environment, others feel better when they’re working from a sofa or bean-bag chair. 【2】 These could range from joined tables for those who want to work in a more relaxed manner and socialize with co-workers, to sound-proof spaces for those who prefer to work alone or in silence.
【3】
Traditional board rooms and conference rooms with tables big enough to host 20 people also fall victim to the remote workforce movement. In the new mobile climate, many employees are starting to come into the physical office merely for face-to-face meetings with co-workers or to bring in clients for presentations. This means that employees are specifically coming into the office for access to these meeting rooms, so these rooms should be sized accordingly.
Using high-tech methods that narrow the gap between office and home
【4】 To do this, some offices are using VoIP phones, which make phone calls through the internet rather than regular landlines, to help employees around the world appear as though they’re calling from the office.
Creating smaller carbon footprint
There are huge benefits, both financially and environmentally, to offices employing more mote workers. Fewer people in the office equal less needed space. 【5】 For employees, the ability to work remotely means an erased commute, which in turn will reduce air pollution and help create a smaller carbon footprint.
A. Building smaller conference rooms.
B. Providing more places for face-to-face communication.
C. In this way, employees can find the spot that best suits them on a given day.
D. Instead, offices are transforming in order to better serve employees floating in and out.
E. Huge amount of money can be saved for employers by using less energy and water, lowering their utility bills.
F. That’s why offices are creating a new mixture of furniture zones that offer both relaxing and traditional seating options.
G. With more employees working from home, it’s critical to have the proper technology to connect people together easily.

科目：高中英语 来源： 题型：
【题目】 There are many gardening tips. Some suggest playing music for your house plants, having conversations with them, or even giving them a gentle touch now and then. Most of these practices are probably more for the benefit of the gardener than the garden, and generally harmless enough but except the last one. Your plants really dislike it when you touch them.
A new study out of the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture and Food has found that most plants are extremely sensitive to touch, and even a light touch can significantly stunt(阻碍) their growth. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, can cause a huge gene response in the plant,” Jim Whelan, who led the new study, said. “Within 30 minutes of being touched, 10% of the plant’s genome(基因组) is changed. This involves a huge expenditure(消耗) of energy which is taken away from plant growth. If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30%.”
Whelan and his team are still trying to find out why plants respond, at the genetic level, so strongly. They do have some theories, however. We know that when an insect lands on a plant, genes are activated(激活) preparing the plant to defend itself against being eaten ,” said Dr. Yan Wang, co-author of the study.
Until more research is done, it’s just a guess at this point. Still, the findings might already lead to new methods for how agriculturalists deal with their crops, to best promote healthier growth.
It’s worth noticing that while the study found that plants often respond to just a single touch in negative ways, it’s really repeated touching that causes lasting stunted growth. That’s because the plants are looking for patterns in the touching, to tell harmful touch from random touch. So it doesn’t matter if you accidently brush up against a bush during a walk through the woods.
【1】How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By comparing
B.By giving examples
C.By listing numbers
D.By showing results of studies
【2】Why can touching stunt a plant growing according to the study?
A.It leads to the plant’s energy expenditure.
B.It makes the plant sensitive to threats.
C.It causes a genetic disorder in the plant.
D.It prevents the plant absorbing nutrients.
【3】What’s the importance of the study by Whelan and his team?
A.It gives us more useful gardening tips.
B.It helps find ways to ensure plants’ healthy growth.
C.It contributes to the further study on genes.
D.It uses data to warn people not to touch plants.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Something is done to help plants grow.
B.Plants’ genome can be changed easily.
C.Plants don’t really like to be touched.
D.What we do every day may destroy plants.
