D As Inter users bee more dependent on the Inter to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your puter will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Inter is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Inter is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a puter. The first group of people understood that the puter would save the information. The second group understood that the puter 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 puter. The information was in a specific puter folder(文件夹 ).Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Inter, 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 being people with poor memories as a result of the Inter. Instead, puter users are developing stronger transactive memories。 that is, people are learning how to anize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are being 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 B. show the author’s attitude C. describe how to use the Inter D. explain how to store information 13. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. The Sparrow’s team typed the information into a puter. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the information. D. The second group did not understand the information. 14. In transactive memory, people_______. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. anize information like a puter D. remember how to find the information 15. What is the effect of the Inter according to Sparrow’s research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are being 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】试题分析：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. A 写作意图题。 根据第一段 “Experts are wondering if the Inter is changing what we remember and how.” 可知，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。 13. C 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.” 可知答案。 14. D 细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段 “Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆 )” 可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。 15.
