2018年9月公共英語三級閱讀試題及答案

　　A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(筆記本電腦).

　　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 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. 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.

　　試題分析：文章介紹通過實驗發(fā)現(xiàn)手寫記筆記比用筆記本記筆記好處更多，學生更容易記住記的材料。這樣可以督促學生多用手記筆記。

　　小題1:細節(jié)題：根據(jù)文章第二段第一行的句子：Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).可知越來越多的學生喜歡用筆記本記筆記，因為這樣他們可以記更多的筆記。所以選A。

　　小題2:細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第三段的句子，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可知使用筆記本記筆記的學生往往是無意識的。所以選B。

　　小題3:寫作意圖題：文章介紹通過實驗發(fā)現(xiàn)手寫記筆記比用筆記本記筆記好處更多，學生更容易記住記的材料，所以作者是想強調(diào)用手記筆記的重要性。所以選B。

　　小題4:文章出處題：作者介紹手寫記筆記和用筆記本記筆記好處相比，學生更容易記住記的材料。這個結(jié)果是通過兩個實驗得出的，所以應該是出現(xiàn)在科學雜志上，而不是：報紙廣告，電腦課文，和財經(jīng)報道，所以選C.
