15、　　Could Google, the world' s largest search engine, be causing our memory banks to be weak? Maybe, say four Columbia University researchers, who believe Google's instant search mechanics could be training our brains to get rid of information we’re sure of quickly finding again with a few taps on a keyboard. 　　Times certainly have changed. I can still remember having to memorize stuff back in grade school like linking verbs-"is, am, are, was, were, have, has, had, etc. "-as if reciting a ritual chant, or the precise sequence of northeastern states, left to fight, top to bottom. Nowadays，I just look up Google Maps if I can' t remember whether it's Vermont before New Hampshire, or whether to answer "this is he"or"this is him"when someone asks for me on the phone. 　　But we ve heard this tune before right? I' m looking at a book on my shelf, The Shallows, by author Nicholas Carr, whose article "Is Google Making Us Stupid? "set off all kinds of cultural and scientific discussions in 2008. The shallows elaborated on points in that article and brought in actual neurological research to support Carr' s thesis that the Internet may be dramatically rewiring our brains. 　　And with the Columbia research, the evidence that something’s up is growing. In the study, titled "Google Effects on Memory: Cognitive Consequences of Having Information at Our Fingertips, "the Columbia University researchers claim that when we’re sure of access to information in the future, our ability to summon that information from memory drops. Conversely, our ability to recall how to access the information goes up. Thus，the researchers argue, “The Internet has become a primary form of external memory, where information is stored collectively outside ourselves.” According to Betsy Sparrow, the study' s lead, "Since the coming of search engines, we are reorganizing the way we remember things. Our brains rely on the Internet for memory in much the same way they rely on the memory of a of a friend, family member or co-worker. We remember less through knowing information itself than by knowing where the information can be found." 　Is Google really wrecking our memory? The answer is “it depends. "The Columbia University report doesn’t offer evidence of actual memory diminishing. Instead, the suggestion is that, influenced by Internet and search engine use, our memories are switching job hats and becoming more external. Instead of remembering “ends,” we’re remembering “means."Search engines like Google are simply becoming extensions of our brains, sort of like wireless electronic devices. And it's not unacceptable to consider ways in which such a memory shift might actually benefit us."Perhaps those who teach in any context, be they college professors, doctors or business leaders, will become increasingly focused on teaching greater understanding of ideas and ways of thinking, and less focused on memorization, "suggests Sparrow. 　　Would that be such a bad thing? After all, I' ve always thought the popular notion that memorizing precisely where something is on a map as a sign of"intelligence"was pretty dumb.

19、　　Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful(有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal (人际间的)ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression (抑郁症）to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. 　　Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of (尽管) our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship(同伴)supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移注意力） us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental (手段的)support-money aid, material resources， and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems. 1.The researches show that people's physical and mental health （ ）. 单选题 2分

21、　　Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human- resources expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day. "It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves, he says. "Resumes(简历) arrive with stains. While other candidates don' t bother to spell the company’s things at the cost of something larger they work toward. To keep from losing the forest for the trees,"says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don' t fit well, we should drop them and move to something else.” We can’t always be perfectionists. 　　Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo ll moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time," says Garfield."But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates(相配之物) of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary." Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake. Too often we believe what accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break(机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow. 1.According to the passage， some job applicants were rejected （ ）. 单选题 2分

23、　　Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement.We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop-the duration of the fixation--varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness. 　　Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say， a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it' s one thing to improve a person' s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text. 1.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except （ ）. 单选题 2分

As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say， a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it' s one thing to improve a person' s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text. 3.Which of the following is not true? 单选题 2分
