2.In a development that would have seemed hardly possible just over a decade ago,many of us have gained constant access to information.If we need to find out the score of a ballgame,learn how to perform a complicated mathematical task,or simply remember the name of the actress in the movie we are viewing,we need only turn to our laptops or smart phones and we can find the answers immediately.It has become such an ordinary practice to look up the answer to any question the moment it occurs.It can feel like going through withdrawal when we can't find out something immediately.We are seldom offline unless by choice and the Internet,with its search engines like Baidu and Google and the information stored there,has become an external (外部的)memory source that we can access at any time.
Storing information externally is nothing particularly new,even before the invention of computers.In any group relationship,people typically develop a transactive (交换式)memory,which is a combination of memory stores held directly by individuals and the memory stores they can access because they are in touch with someone who knows that information.Like linked computers that can address each other's memories,people in groups form transactive memory systems.
In a recent research led by Besty Sparrow of Columbia University,researchers have explored whether having online access to search engines has become a primary transactive memory source in itself.If asked the question whether there are any countries with only one color in their flag,for example,do we think about flags一or immediately think to go online to find out the answer?
In one experiment,the participants were asked to read 40memorable unimportant statements of the type that they could look up online (e.g.,an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain).Then they were asked to type the statements into computer to assure memory.Half the participants believed the computer would save what was typed and the other half believed the item would be erased.After the reading and typing task,participants wrote down as many of the statements as they could remember.
It turned out that participants who believed the computer would erase what they had typed had better recall than those who regarded the computer as the memory source.
The Internet has become a primary form of transactive memory,and processes of human memory are adapting to the new computing and communication technology.Just as we learn through transactive memory
5
who knows what in our families and offices,we are learning what the computer"knows"and when we should attend to where we have stored information in our computer-based memories.The importance of the information from the Internet is almost equal to that of all the knowledge we gain from our friends and coworkers-and lose if they are out of touch.The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend.We must always remain plugged in to know what the Internet knows.

50.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part of the first paragraphB?
A.It is only too common.
B.It is very painful.
C.It gives us pleasure.

C.transactive memory exists long before the invention of the computer
D.transactive memory systems can be developed by an individual independently
52.Which of following is NOT correct about the experiment mentioned in the fourth paragraphD?
A."The fifth American president is James Monroe"is a statement fit for the experiment.
B.Reading and typing the statement are both intended for strengthening participants'memory.
C.Were the typing to be erased,the computer wouldn't be a reliable memory source for participants any longer.
D.The experiment suggests whether or not to type the information has little effect on our memory.
53.What can we infer from the last paragraphA?
A.We are becoming more and more dependent on the Internet for information.
B.The Internet is causing our brain to function less efficiently.
C.The Internet gives us access to a wide range of information without any disadvantages.
D.The author uses losing the access to the Internet to stress the sadness of losing a friend.
54.What is the author's tone in the last paragraphC?
A.Approving.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Optimistic.
55.What can we learn from the passageD?
A.Transactive memory is essential to the development of mankind.
B.Search engines make us more curious and enthusiastic about new information.
C.The Internet is the most important form of transactive memory.
D.Changes in our memory processes serve as an adaptation to new technology.

20.For years we have been told that encouraging a child's self-respect is important to his or her success in life.But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.
The implication(含义) of saying"You are the prettiest girl in class,"or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort,is that you love her only when she looks the best,scores the highest,achieves the most.And this carries over to the classroom.
Social psychologist Carol Dweck,PHD,tested the effects of over-praise on 400fifth graders while she was at Columbia University.She found that kids praised for"trying hard"did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being"smart".
"Praising attributes(品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality,and it devalues effort,so children are afraid to take on challenges,"says Dweck,now at Stanford University,"They figure they'd better quit while they're ahead."

48.The underlined words"Praise-aholic kids"refer to kids who areD.
A.tired of being praised           B.worthy of being praised
C.very proud of being praised      D.extremely fond of being praised
49.The author quoted Dr.Dweck's words in the last paragraph in order to make the articleC.
A.better-known                 B.better-organized
C.more persuasive               D.more interesting
50.We can infer from the passage thatA.
A.praise for efforts should be more encouraged
B.praise for results works better than praise for efforts
C.praising a child's achievements benefits his or her success in life
D.praising a child's abilities encourages him or her to take on challenges.

4.____________
Technology means different things to different people.A physician might think of technology as a way to produce a new medicine.To a space engineer,it might mean making better rocket engines.Technology is so widespread that it is part of everyone's life.Originally,the word technology comes from the Greek word techne,which means"art".You might think that art means only paintings or sculpture.But the Greeks believed an artist could make useful products from natural materials such as trees,rocks,and plants.
What school subjects are related to technology?
Though people's opinions vary on what groups of technology should be broken down to,you,when in school,may have the question:Why should you study technology?That question is easy to answer.Technology is fun,rewarding,and exciting.It is fun because you get to work with your hands.It is rewarding because you get to see the results of your work.Each day it brings new ideas and new challenges,which make technology exciting.Studying technology will also help you develop your problem-solving skills.You can learn to identify a problem and come up with a solution.You will also find that technology is related to other subjects that you study in school such as:
Mathematics
Science
Social studies
English language arts
Art
You might enjoy all of your classes more after you begin to see the relationships between technology and other subjects.
Do you know what"technologically literate"means?
Technology is often in the news.A journalist might report on a particular electrical power plant,a food additive,or a safety device on an automobile.It is important that you understand the importance of technology.Every day in many ways,technology affects the lives of people around the world.For example,automobile air bags have saved many lives in collisions.However,they inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases.As a result,the federal government allows car owners to install an on/off switch for the air bags.Do you think the government should let people do this?To answer this question,you first need to know something about the technology being discussed.
Does working on a small engine sound difficult to you?With a basic understanding of technology,it might not be as hard as you think.Being technologically literate means understanding technology and feeling comfortable with it.Sometimes there is no one correct answer to a problem.You need to think about and evaluate each situation,and then make a decision.When you can do this,you will be technologically literate.

78.What can the title of the first paragraph be to match the other two?WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD TECHNOLODY?.
79.You can haveexcitement,since when studying technology,every day you work with your hands,see the results of your work,and have new ideas and new challenges.
80.Why are car owners allowed to switch off their air bags?Because airbags inflate so quickly that they have caused injury and death in some cases.
81.A technological literate can be a person whoUnderstands technology and feels comfortable with technology.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Fifteen Words.)
