When I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies, something happened a couple of
years ago suddenly hit me.
I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You
might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But
what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.
The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free
movies for a year meant. All of the tickets were valid(有效的) for one year from the day I received them.
So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to
see.
But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 20 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the
local Women’s Transition House, a place where women and children could go when avoiding a bad
situation in general and get help to make a new start.
My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular
New Year’s Day. I knew that the Women’s Transition House provided some childcare for the women so
they could go for job interviews and things like that.
I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women’s Transition House
staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their
children, which made me really happy.
24. How did the author get the tickets?
A. By visiting a website by chance. B. By using some Cokes to get them.
C. By getting a code at the bottom of a bottle. D. By winning the prize for drinking Cokes.
25. How many tickets did the author and his friends use?
A. About 22. B. About 32. C. About 52. D. About 365.
26. Which of the following best describe the author ?
A. Lucky and caring. B. Creative and careful.
C. Responsible and cheerful. D. Thankful and generous.
27. Which of the following proverb can best explain the main idea of this article?
A. The roses in their hands, the flavor in mine.
B. Good luck favors those who are always ready.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. God helps those who help themselves.第 6 页 共 12 页

Recently, the organizers of the 2024 Paris Olympics have suggested that breakdancing be included
in 2024, making it closer to becoming an Olympic sport. The other 3 sports—surfing, skateboarding and

had the chance to prove our value as an Olympic sport.”

Will people remember less with Internet users becoming more and more dependent on the Internet
to store information? If you know your computer will save information, why do you store it in your own
personal memory, your brain?
Professor Betsy Sparrow, together with her research team, has carried out some experiments in a
recent study, wanting to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they offered
people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the
computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer 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 computer. The information was in a specific computer folder( 文 件 夹 ).
Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder locations better than the facts. When people use the
Internet, 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 becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.
Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to
organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean
we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is
changing.
32. Why does the text begin with two questions?
A. To make a comparison. B. To introduce the main topic.
C. To show the author’s attitude. D. To list some examples.第 8 页 共 12 页
33. What can we learn about the first experiment?
A. The Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
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.
34. What do people usually do in transactive memory?
A. They remember how to find the information.
B. They organize information like a computer.
C. They change the quantity of information.
D. They bear the information in mind.
35. What is Sparrow’s attitude towards the influence the Internet has on people’s memory ?
A. Negative. B. Passive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
