AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lecturesperform better on exams than those who use laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because ofspeed and legibility. But the research has found laptop users are less ableto remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether usinga laptop increased th e tendency to make notes ”mindlessly ”by taking downword 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 examined on their abilityand to remember facts and on how well they understood concept.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those wrote by hand. However, the type is performed worse at remembering andapplying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it comes tomemorizing 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, thebenefit disappears.In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, thestudents 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 superiorrevision in the future.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can___.A write more notesB digest concepts betterC get higher scoresD understand lectures better22.

The passage is likely to appear in ___.A a newspaper advertisementB a computer textbookC a science magazineD a finance reportB(Q=Question; A=Answer)Situation 1Q:If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is itrude to moveA： Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it.Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. Youundoubtedly aren ’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation 2Q:If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy somethingA: Consider frequently and urgency.Is this a one-time thing or an emergency If so, you don’t have to buy anything,but it would be kind if you did.However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer,and you should act like one.Situation 3Q:If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to askhim to keep it downA:No. Try other means:1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quietsdown. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion and smile. 3) Put on earphonesand ignore him.Situation 4Q: If I remember my friend ’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or j ust wish her a happy birthday like nothing happenedA: This is the reason why the word belated was invented.“ Happy belatedbirthday!” is short for:“Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered.Forgive me and happy birthday.”Situation 5Q:Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy torespond to itA:Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Whywaste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve“Yes,”you can say ifever asked,“ I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to why you don’trespond.25.You will get annoyed in a theater when___.A a person is too activeB a person is too rude to youC a person talks too loudlyD a person sits too close to you26.How will you quiet someone down in a public placeA.

What is the passage mainly aboutA Modern ways to mind your manners.B Different ways to change others’ mannersC Proper manners to offer help to othersD Good manners to talk to peopleCWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicatewith each other and pass on their wealth to the next generationUBCProfessor Simard explained how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined.Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact,the opposite is true:trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition“depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen and carbon are shared through miles of underground funginetworks, making sure that all tress in the forest ecological system giveand receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy.This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons in our brains, andwhen one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about“mother trees”, usually the largest and oldestplants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees passon the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals toyoung tress so they may continue to grow. W hen humans cut down“mother trees ” with no awareness of these highly complex“tree societies” of the networks on which they feed,we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“ Wedidn’t take any notice of it . ” Simard says sadly.“ Dyin g trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give themchance. ” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, wecould make a huge difference towards our environmental protection effortsfor the future.29. The underlined sentence“ the opposite is true ” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees___.A compete for survival30.“Mother trees” are extremely important because they ___.Alook the largest in size in the forestB pass on nutrition to young treesC seem more likely to be cut down by humansD know more about the complex“tree societies”31. The underlined word“it” in the last paragraph refers to ___.A how “tree societies” wo rkB how trees grow oldC how forestry industry developsD how young trees survive32.What would be the best title for the passageA Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC Trees Are More Awesome That YouThink D Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&Gwhere he is responsible for forty employees and profits of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He doesnot get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after acustomer screamed at her, Travis took her away.“Your working uniform isyour shelter,” he told her,“ Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. Youwill always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, aneducation program that began on his first day and continue throughout anemployee’s occupation.The training has Travis says,changed his life.G&G has taught him how to live. how to focus, how to get to work on time, andhow to master his emotions. Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-importanthabit willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single mostimportant habit for a person’s success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit.“sometimes it looks like people with great self- control aren’t workinghard —but that’s because they’ve made it automatic.” Angela Duckworth,one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said,“ Their willpo wer occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study totrain employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve asguides to how to make willpower a habit in workers’ lives.Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one withmore than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more $ 10 billion year.33.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must___.A learn to give lecturesB attend education programsC design a working uniformD develop a common hobby34.Willpower will become a habit when employees can___.A focus on the profitsB benefit from the jobC protect themselves wellD control their feelings well35.What can we infer from the passageA G&G has grow into a large companyB G&G will spend half its profits training employeesC G&G may become more successful in the futureD G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers第二节（共 5 题；每题 2 分，满分10 分）选项中有两项为多依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔录本电脑).Students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed andlegibility(清楚度 ).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 increasedthe 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 .Theylistened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirtyminutes after the talk , they were examined on their ability to remember facts and onhow well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote byhand. 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 takenmindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears."In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before butwere 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 immediatelearning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21.

Chances are that close sitter doesn't realizehe disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance.You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy somethingA: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency If so, you don't haveto buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However,if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it downA: No. Try other Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2)Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作 )and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation INQ: If I remember my friend's birthday a day late,should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happenedA:This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" isshort for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复 ) to it A: Don't lie.Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve"Yes,"you can say if ever asked,"I saw it." No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.25． You will get annoyed in a theater when.A. a person is too activeB. a person is too rude to youC. a person talks too loudlyD. a person sits too close to you26.

Different ways to change others' manners.C. Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with on their wealth to the next generationUBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (each other and pass for survival of the "depending on who真菌 )networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive justthe right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar wayto the networks of neurons( 神经元 ) in our brains,and when one tree is destroyed,it affects all.Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all othertrees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation,transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.When humans cut down "mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into theyoung trees before dying,but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry,we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means thattrees.A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees30. "Mother trees" are extremely important because they.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex "tree societies"31. The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to.A. how "tree societies" workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32.What would be the best title for the passageA. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than YouThink D. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员 )and profits ( 利润 ) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on thejob. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis tookher away. "Your working uniform is your shelter,"he told her."Nothing anyone says w ill ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program thatbegan on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has,Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get towork on time,and how to master his emotions ( 情绪 ).Most importantly,it taught him willpower. At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower.Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit."Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard —but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvaniaresearchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to trainemployees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to makewillpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from asleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.33. We loam from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feeling well35.What can we infer from the passageA. G&G has grown into a large company.B. G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节(共 5小题;每题 2分,满分10分)依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，并在答题卡大将该项涂黑。

However , if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one .Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means :1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened ?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for : “Well, I know I forgot , but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond (回复) to it ?A: Don’t lie .Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.

Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change other’s manners.C. Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it.”Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees,” usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29.The underlined sentence “the opposite is true”in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees__________ .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees.30. “ Mother trees” are extremely important because they_______.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_______.A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society.3DTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员) and profits (利润) of over &2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her. Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter, ”he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard---–but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than &10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large companyB. G&G will spend half its profits training employeesC. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

[2014·辽宁卷]AA 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 “mindlessl y” 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 note-taking 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 long-term 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.21．More and more students favour laptops for note­taking because they can ________.A．write more notes B．digest concepts betterC．get higher scores D．understand lectures better22．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be ________.A．skilful B．mindlessC．thoughtful D．tireless23．The author of the passage aims to ________.A．examine the importance of long­term memoryB．stress the benefit of taking notes by handC．explain the process of taking notesD．promote the use of laptops24．The passage is likely to appear in ________.A．a newspaper advertisementB．a computer textbookC．a science magazineD．a finance report【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论用笔记本电脑记笔记和手写记笔记的优劣。
