Students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking 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 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 .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（观念）. 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（有效地） 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 favor laptops for note-taking because they can . A. write more notes B. digest concepts better C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be . A. skillful B. mindless C. thoughtful D. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to .A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress（强调） the benefit of taking notes by hand. C. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops B.We arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. One last hug and a final good-bye, I would be on my way to a new life abroad. “Youd better go or youll miss your flight”, she said.“Ill miss you,” I replied, and with those words I was off. By the time I reached the customs I was sobbing. While boarding the plane I was still crying.Born only fifteen months apart, we not only looked alike, but also we were alike. We both had the same mix of curiosity and fear of all things unknown to us. One sunny summer day I was playing outside when she came up to me and said, “Want to come to the attic(阁楼）”？ The answer was always “Yes”. We were frightened of the attic but also attracted by its smells and sounds. Together we would flight many spiders and battle through many boxes until we found what we needed.The plane shook heavily and my bag fell on the floor. My aspirin(阿司匹林）, hairbrush, a map and some other things were spread on the floor. I bent over to gather them up when I saw an unfamiliar little book in the middle of my belongings. It was a diary.Immediately I recognized my sisters handwriting. “ Hi Sis. What a day it has been today. You let me know that you are moving abroad.” Only then did I realize that my sister had been keeping a diary for the past month.I read about my sisters comings and goings during the flight. Even though a large ocean separated us, at some point it felt like she was actually there. 24.Why did the writers sister come to the airport? A. To see her off. B.To buy a ticket.C. To take a plane. D. To meet her. 25.Why did the writer cry?A. Because she had to leave her sister.B. Because nobody would accompany her abroad.C. Because nobody could carry luggage for her.D. Because her sister wouldnt go abroad with her. 26.What does the third paragraph tell us?A. The writer and her sister look alike.B. The writer often played with her sister.C. The writer often fought with her sister.D. The writer and her sister had much in common.27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Though there was a large ocean between us, I felt as if she still stayed with me.B. Though a large ocean separated us, I could still see her.C. Though there was a large ocean between us, she could still come to see me.D. Though a large ocean separated us, she still wished me good luck. C Chinese basketball fans sit down in front of their TVs to watch NBA games usually for one reason; They have Yao Ming in them.

DChinas giant pandas shows the achievement of the international effort to save animals that are now in danger.In television program we often see pandas playing funny games. Children have panda toys and beautiful cards with pictures of lovely pandas in them.They often visit the giant pandas in the zoo on their holiday and have a good time there.However, scientists are worried about the future of giant pandas.They know only about1,000 giant pandas remain alive today. They think the giant panda will die out in 30 years if the present conditions are not improved.Its reported that the giant pandas have a very low birthrate. About 115 pandas live in zoos and research centers mainly in China, but during the past ten years, they produced only 34 young pandas that are still alive. The survival rate for giant pandas in the wild is probably the same or lower. There are several reasons for the low birthrate. The main reason is that male pandas can make love with females in a short season,only a few days a year. When they do have babies, females often produce two pandas, but the mother is usually not able to care for both of them.The new-born pandas weigh only a few grams each.They are too weak to live without special care. In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers care for the young pandas, but those living in the wild do not get enough help. It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas.Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years. Pandas in China continue to reduce in number. We know pandas live on bamboos. But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die. The pandas there have nothing to eat and die of danger.Giant pandas now live in thirteen separate protected areas in China. Several years ago the Chinese government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed on a project of protect-ing giant pandas in the wild. We hope it could be helpful.30. What does the writer think of the giant pandas?A.They are naughty. B.they are lovely. C.They are dirty. D.They are funny.31. According to this passage we know most of the giant pandas live_.A,in the thirteen separate protected areas in our country.B,in the wild all over the world.C,in zoos and research centers.D, in the area where there are plenty of bamboos for them to eat.32. Scientists are worried about the future of the giant pandas because_.A. sometimes all the bamboos die in the area where the giant pandas live and have nothing to eat.B. giant pandas that still live in the wild can not get enough help from humans.C. male and female pandas often refuse to have babies in the right time.D. Only a small number of giant pandas remain alive today and their birthrate is too low.33. The low survival rate of young giant pandas has much to do with the fact that_.A. mother pandas are usually unable to take care of both of the young pandas.B. female pandas are able to have baby pandas only in a special time.C. young pandas weigh only a few grams each and they are too weak.D. male and female pandas often refuse to have babies in the right time.34.
