2019-2020学年 河北省石家庄实验中学 高二10月月考英语试题（解析版）

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know 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 Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember 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 (交互记忆)”

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 doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

12. The passage begins with two questions to ________. A. introduce the main topic C. describe how to use the Internet information

13. What can we learn about the first experiment?

A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. D. The second group did not understand the information.

B. show the author’s attitude D. explain how to store

14. In transactive memory, people ________. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information

15. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】

本文是议论文。文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联网来储存信息，人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢？专家怀疑互联网可能正在改变人们的记忆内容和方式。 【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知第一组没有试着记住队形。故选C。 【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called \交互记忆)\”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。故选D。

【15题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。

Kids' health：Four steps for fighting stress

Everybody gets stressed from time to time. ___16___ Some ways of dealing with stress — like screaming or hitting someone — don't solve (解决) much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed：

(1)Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives. ___17___ They might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2)Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh dear，that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. ___18___

(3)Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends，it's time to get down to business. ___19___ Even if you can't solve all of it，you can solve a piece of it.

(4)Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren't magic，but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster. ___20___

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them. C. Different people feel stress in different ways. D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone. E. You need to figure out what the problem is. F. And don't forget about your friends. G. Then, find a way to calm down. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。主要关注孩子健康：如何排解压力 【16题详解】

C根据下文的Some ways of…和But other ways…说明人们处理压力有多种方法，故C项符合上下文 【17题详解】

F本段讲述的是向别人寻求支持，除了你的父母和亲戚，也不要忘记你的朋友。故F项符合上下文。 【18题详解】

A根据前一句Don't take it out on yourself不要总是独自承担一切，要寻求别人的帮助，故A项符合上下文串联。 【19题详解】

E根据上一句it's time to get down to business.说明是时候解决问题了，首先你要知道你要解决的问题是什么。故E项符合上下文。 20题详解】

D根据上一句And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster.说明如果我们能够保持积极向上的态度，就会感觉很好。故D项符合上下文的含义。 考点：考查教育类短文阅读
