多少个电话号码？可能比你想要的要少。事实上，你并不孤单。在接受调查的1000多

名美国人中，超过一半的人说他们想不起朋友和邻居的电话号码。44%的人说他们记不

的脑袋里塞满手机号码就没有意义了）''以及第二段“Infact,mostpeoplearesufferingfrom

为他们把互联网当成了大脑的在线延伸。死记硬背曾经是现代教育的重要组成部分，但

现在我们只需要点击或幻灯片。这让我们的记忆力变差了）“可知，第一段提到了目前

一种常见的现象：很多人都不能清楚地记住手机号码，因为他们认为有手机存储电话，

大脑就没有必要记忆电话号码。第二段则指出了对网络的依赖削弱了人们的记忆力。即

第一段是作为引子，引出了本文讨论的话题。故选B。

29.细节理解题。根据第二段“Infact,mostpeoplearesufferingfromasortofdigital

30.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchersfoundthatwhenpeopleexpectedtohave

accesstoinformationonline,theywerelesslikelytorememberactualfacts,butmorelikely

torememberhowtofindthem.（研究人员发现，当人们希望从网上获取信息时，他们不太
