perform better on exams than those who use laptops (笔记本). students are 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 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. 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 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.31. more and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can_. a. take more notes b. understand concepts better c. get higher scores d. understand lectures better32. while taking notes, laptop users tend to be _. a. skillful b. mindless c. thoughtful d. tireless33. the author of the passage aims to_. a. examine the importance of long-term memory b. explain the process of taking notes c. stress the benefit of taking notes by

trainers say. here are some shopping tips: consider your type of exercise. depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, or other specialties will give the best support for your feet. shop when you normally exercise. feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up by as much as a half-size, by nighttime. so dont shop first thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening. try them on. never buy a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy. bring the type of socks youd wear to work out and go for a walk through the store. focus on fit. you should be able to fan your toes out comfortably, with about a 1cm of space between them and the front of the shoe. the back should fit against your heel and not move up and down. if your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one. dont look to “break in” shoes. while shoes may get more flexible with use, they should be comfortable the first time you wear them. talk to an expert. shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride（步幅）and the shape of your feet and recommend the best shoes to guard against injuries. replace worn shoes regularly. many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months, if possible, to keep proper support. one tip: if you have to tie your shoes very tightly to get the support you need, they may be ready to go.43. the passage offers us advice on how to _. a. select good shoes b. prevent exercise injuries c. replace sports shoes d. buy exercise shoes44. the underlined part break in in paragraph 6 probably means _. a. put something on by force b. bend something to test the quality c. make something comfortable with use d. interrupt something when it is happening45. what can be learned from the last paragraph? a. allow some space between your toes and the front of the shoe. b. give up the shoes if they can not satisfy the need of your feet. c. buy a tight pair of shoes to give the proper support for your feet. d. prepare yourself to go with tight and comfortable shoes for support. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 lots of
