device(裝置) thats hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub，who has been reporting on the smartphonelike glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.“Its just like smartphones 10 years ago，” Weintraub said.“A few people started getting emails on their phones，and people thought that was crazy.Same kind of thing.We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones，and its unnatural，” he said.“Theres gonna be improvements to that，and this a step

common as smartphonesCare popular among young adultsDwill be improved by a new technologyxk|b|1答案A推理判斷題。由第五段中的“.he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as

may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests.The findings, based on performances and selfevaluations by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and cant focus on one activity.And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things，” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensationseeking (尋求刺激) or impulsive (沖動)they were.They then evaluated the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once.But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test.They also were more likely to admit to sensationseeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.“People multitask not because its going to lead to greater productivity, but because theyre distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important，” Sanbonmatsu said.Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldnt find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether peoples recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.The findings do suggest, however, why the sensationseekers who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving.“People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group.“This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though theyre dangerous.”【解題導(dǎo)語】一項新的研究表明很多人多項任務(wù)同時處理不是出于提高創(chuàng)造性，而是因為他們?nèi)菀追中亩荒軐Ｗ⒂谝豁椈顒又腥?，并且事實證明那些人在處理不同情況方面很糟糕。5The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask _.Aseek high productivity constantlyBprefer handling different things when getting boredCare more focused when doing many things at a timeDhave the poorest results in doing various things at the same time答案D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第一段第二句“And those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things”及文章第四段第二句“But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test.”知選答案D項。6When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they_.Aassessed the multitasking ability of the studentsBevaluated the academic achievements of the studentsCanalyzed the effects of the participants tricky mental tasksDmeasured the changes of the students understanding ability答案A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段第二句“They then evaluated the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that.”，知他們評價學(xué)生的多項任務(wù)處理能力，而不是其它能力，故選A項。7According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their _.Alimited power in calculationBinterests in doing things differentlyCinability to concentrate on one taskDimpulsive desire to try new things答案C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第一段第二句及第四段知人們多項任務(wù)處理是因為他們不能專注于一項任務(wù)之上，故選C項。8From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually_.Adrive very skillfullyBgo in for difficult tasksCfail to react quickly to potential dangersDrefuse to explain the reasons for their behavior答案C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章最后一段第二句“People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.”可知多項任務(wù)處理者們通常對潛在危險不能迅速作出反應(yīng)。故選C項。C體裁：議論文話題：學(xué)習(xí)方法詞數(shù)：306難度：建議用時：7分鐘Grownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins“Twinkle，twinkle，little star”or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as“Twinkle，twinkle，little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but over learn.The multiplication tables(乘法口訣表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突擊學(xué)習(xí))for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for ones future development.【解題導(dǎo)語】有些東西我們學(xué)過之后就永生難忘，而有些東西則恰恰相反。文章解釋了原因，稱這是過度學(xué)習(xí)和突擊學(xué)習(xí)兩種不同學(xué)習(xí)方法所導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果。9What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?APeople remember well what they learned in childhood.BChildren have a better memory than grownups.CPoem reading is a good way to learn words.DStories for children are easy to remember.答案A主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的首句“Grownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since”可知選A項。10The author explains the law of overlearning by _.Apresenting research findings Bsetting down general rules Cmaking a comparisonDusing examples答案D推理判斷題。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可以看出作者通過舉例子的方法來證明自己的觀點，故答案為D項。11According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables is _.w w w .x k b 1.c o mAa result of overlearningBa special case of crammingCa skill to deal with math problemsxkb 1Da basic step towards advanced studies答案A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第4段最后一句話中的“.because they are another
