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 how 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 (文件夾). 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 (交互記憶)”,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 doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 文章大意：文章主要講的是互聯(lián)網給人類的記憶帶來的影響?；ヂ?lián)網使用者越來越依賴互聯(lián)網來儲存信息，人們這樣做是否會喪失記憶事物的能力呢？專家懷疑互聯(lián)網可能正在改變人們的記憶內容和方式。,1The passage begins with two questions to _. Aintroduce the main topic Bshow the authors attitude Cdescribe how to use the Internet Dexplain how to store information 答案：A 寫作意圖題。根據(jù)第一段“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”可知，作者使用兩個問句是為了引出要討論的話題。,2What can we learn about the first experiment? AThe Sparrows team typed the information into a computer. BThe two groups remembered the information equally well. CThe first group did not try to remember the information. DThe second group did not understand the information. 答案：C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.”可知答案。,3In transactive memory，people _. Akeep the information in mind Bchange the quantity of information Corganize information like a computer Dremember how to find the information 答案：D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Rather，they remember how to find it.This is calledtransactive memory(交互記憶)”可知，在交互記憶里，人們記得怎樣找到信息。,4What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? AWe are using memory differently. BWe are becoming more intelligent. CWe have poorer memories than before. DWe need a better way to access information. 答案：A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互聯(lián)網對人們的記憶產生的影響是它改變了我們使用記憶力的方式。,
