　　二、阅读理解

　　A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops (笔记本电脑)．

　　Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility (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 professors 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 note­taking 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 researchers' 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 long­term 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.

　　本文揭示实验研究的结果，用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。

　　1．More and more students favor laptops for note­taking because they can

　　.

　　A. write more notes

　　B. digest concepts better

　　C. get higher scores

　　D. understand lectures better

　　答案　A

　　解析　根据文章第二段可知，越来越多的学生喜欢用笔记本电脑记笔记，因为这样他们可以记更多的笔记，所以A合题意。

　　2．While taking notes, laptop users tend to be

　　.

　　A. skillful

　　B. mindless

　　C. thoughtful

　　D. tireless

　　答案　B

　　解析　根据第三段But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught可知，使用笔记本电脑记笔记的学生往往会无意识的，故B合题意。

　　3．The author of the passage aims to

　　.

　　A. examine the importance of long­term memory

　　B. stress the benefit of taking notes by hand

　　C. explain the process of taking notes

　　D. promote the use of laptops

　　答案　B

　　解析　文章通过实验发现手写比用笔记本电脑记笔记好处更多，学生更容易记住说的材料，所以作者是想强调用笔记笔记的重要性。

　　4．The passage is likely to appear in

　　.

　　A. a newspaper advertisement

　　B. a computer textbook

　　C. a science magazine

　　D. a finance report

　　答案　C

　　解析　作者介绍手写记笔记和用笔记本电脑记笔记相比，学生更容易记住所说材料，这个结果是通过两个实验得出的，所以应该出现在科学杂志上。
