Multitasking shrinks(萎縮) the brain, research suggests.A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain.University of Sussex researchers said:“simultaneously using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices could be changing the structure of our brains.” Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion.The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span (持續(xù)時(shí)間),depression, anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking email, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the web. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingulate cortex(ACC)The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, is the first to make a link between multitasking and the structure of the brain.Researcher Kep Kee Loh said:“Media multitasking is being more prevalent in our lives today and there is increasing concern about its impacts on our cognition and socialemotional wellbeing.” “He added that more research is needed to prove that multitasking shrinks the brain. This is because it is also possible that people with less grey matter in the ACC are more drawn to using lots of gadgets simultaneously.” Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team missioned a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99 and found 20 percent had problems with memory. Researchers were taken aback by the 14 percent of 18 to 39yearolds who also worried about their memories.Multitasking with gadgets may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.1What's the main idea of this passage?AMultitasking shortens attention span.BMultitasking makes your brain smaller.CMultitasking has harmful effects on our memory.DMultitasking is being more and more popular.2What does the underlined word “simultaneously” (in Paragraph 3) mean?AfrequentlyBnow and thenCin the meantime Dfor a long time3What's the opinion of Kep Kee Loh on media multitasking?Apeople with less grey matter are more willing to use gadgets lots.BWhether multitasking shrinks the brain remains to be studied further.CMultitasking with gadgets makes it harder to focus and form memories.DMedia multitasking affects on our cognition and socialemotional wellbeing.4Researchers believe that multitasking may cause people to be _.Aattentive BaddictedCabsentminded Dintelligent答案與解析1B主旨大意題。從全文內(nèi)容歸納可知B項(xiàng)正確。2C詞義猜測(cè)題。從畫線后的using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices.可知simultaneously 的含義為in the meantime(與此同時(shí))。3B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從倒數(shù)第二段中He added that more research is needed to prove that multitasking shrinks the brain. 可知B項(xiàng)正確。4C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從最后一段中Multitasking with gadgets may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories.可知C項(xiàng)正確。.閱讀填句(xx·遼寧省沈陽二中月考)Britain's High Streets are Dying SlowlyTwenty years ago, the prosperous high street (繁華商業(yè)區(qū)) was the heart of most cities. It was crowded with customers. _1_ Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain's high streets are dying little by little._2_ It's fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recession (衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either. _3_ Finally, there are the outoftown retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain's high streets. She's talked about creating “magnets (磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. _4_ In one town, a bicycle rickshaw (人力車) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. _5_, where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.Members of the public have also voiced their opinions.“My ideal shopping center is one where there's a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28yearold man.“I'd like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm. or later,” said a 22yearold girl.AThey have to pay increasing high rents.BBut he is not the only one to solve the problem.CBut that's all changed.DIn another town, they set up night shopping centers.EIn another town, they set up a nursery.FThey can make a fortune overnight.GWhy are high streets in such a desperate situation?答案與解析本文講述的是英國(guó)繁華的商業(yè)區(qū)正走向衰落。1C根據(jù)上文提到It was crowded with customers. 充滿了顧客,再根據(jù)下文提到Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. 沒有幾個(gè)人和商店可知已經(jīng)發(fā)生改變,故選C項(xiàng)。2G根據(jù)下文提到To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recession(衰退). 可知在問為什么如此蕭條,故選G項(xiàng)。3A根據(jù)上文提到And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either 對(duì)于店主來說也不容易,故選A,他們不得不支付高額的租金。4B根據(jù)上文提到She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. 她提到創(chuàng)造磁石來吸引人們回來,故選B,但這不是唯一的需要解決的問題。5E根據(jù)上文提到In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力車) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes 一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn),用人力車把人們送回來,故選E,另外一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)建立了幼兒園。.語法填空(xx·山西大學(xué)附中月考)Scientists have found that pesticides(農(nóng)藥) harm the ability of bees to find food. Bees must learn which flowers contain their food from the smells of the flowers. _1_ the bees do not learn which smells mean food, they will starve. Researchers in Britain found that pesticides _2_(use) by farmers and gardeners can switch off the part of a bee's brain that is responsible _3_ associating smells with food. Lead researcher Dr. Geraldine Wright said pesticides could seriously impact the _4_ (survive) of honeybee colonies. She said, “Bees that cannot learn will not be able to find food.” This also _5_(mean) beens will not pollinate(給授粉) crops and wild plants.Bee populations around the world have been declining. Scientists have searched for a long time for a reason _6_ so many bees are disappearing. This new research may be _7_ important clue. However, the British government does not want to stop the use of the pesticides that may prevent bees from learning. _8_ wants to carry out more tests to make sure pesticides are the real reason for the decrease in the number of bees. A spokeswoman from the Friends of The Earth charity said the government must act _9_(soon) rather than later. “Bee health is far too urgent to wait _10_ more research has been pleted. Controls should be placed on these pesticides until bee safety can be guaranteed,” she said.答案與解析1Ifif 引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句,意為“如果”。2usedpesticides 與 use 之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系,故用過去分詞作定語。3forbe responsible for 對(duì)負(fù)責(zé)。4survival名詞作賓語。5means根據(jù)上下文時(shí)態(tài)可知用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。6why先行詞為reason,定語從句中缺狀語,故用why 引導(dǎo)。7an表示“數(shù)量一”,用不定冠詞。8Itit 代替the British government.9sooner根據(jù)than 可知用比較級(jí)。10untiluntil 引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句,意為“直到為止”。.短文改錯(cuò)My name is Julie.

I'm writing to share my views about online shopping.On the one hand, I believe it's convenient and economical. With the help of online shopping, we can buy things we want at home with a click of the mouse instead of going to the shopping mall. Besides, we might save money by paring the price of goods sold in different online shops.On the other hand, it might lead to many problems. For one thing, your package can't always reach you on time due to various unexpected reasons. For another, you can't try on the clothes to see if they fit you or not like you do when shopping in a real shop.All in all, I hold that high school students should have a cautious attitude towards online shopping in order to avoid wasting money or buying things of poor quality.Yours_sincerely,Mike
