Multitasking
People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once,a new research suggests.The findings,based on performances and self-evaluations by about 275 college students,indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity,but because they are easily distracted(分心) and can’t focus on one activity.And“those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu,a psychologist at the University of Utah.
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked,how good they thought they were at it,and how sensation-seeking(寻求刺激) or impulsive(冲动) they were.They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.
Not surprisingly,the scientists said,most people thought they were better than average at multitasking,and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once.But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test.They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior,which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.
“People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity,but beca use they’re distractible,and they get sucked into things that are not as important.”Sanbonmatsu said.
Adam Gazzaley,a researcher at the University of California,San Francisco,who was not a member of the research group,said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.
The findings do suggest,however,why the sensation-seekers who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving.“People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations,”said Paul Atchley,another researcher not in the group.“This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.”
1.The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask .
A.seek high productivity constantly
B.prefer handling different things when getting bored
C.are more focused when doing many things at a time
D.have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
2.When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research,they .
A.assessed the multitasking ability of the students
B.evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C.analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks
D.measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability
3.According to Sanbonmatsu,people multitask because of their .
A.limited power in calculation
B.interests in doing things differently
C.inability to concentrate on one task
D.impulsive desire to try new things
4.From the last paragraph,we can learn that multitaskers usually .
A.drive very skillfully
B.go in for different tasks
C.fail to react quickly to potential dangers
D.refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior
语篇解读:本文为一篇科普文,介绍了Sanbonmatsu与他的同事们的一项研究结果:同时做很多事情的人往往会有最糟糕的结果,这是因为这些人做事情不专心,他们不能对潜在的危险作出迅速的反应。
答案及剖析:1.D 细节理解题。由文章第一段的“People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once...”可知,这样的人在同时做很多事情时
往往会有最差的结果,故正确答案为D项。
2.A细节理解题。文章第二段提到他们让参与测试的学生做这做那,然后他们“evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task...”,由此可知,Sanbonmatsu和他的同事们在测试中评估了学生们的多任务处理能力。
3.C细节理解题。根据第一段后半部分中的“but because they are easily distracted(分心) and can’t focus on one activity.”可知,人们进行多任务化的原因是他们不具备专注于一项任务的能力。此外,倒数第三段的内容也有提示。故选C项。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.”可知,喜欢多任务化的人一般对危险情况不太敏感,由此可推断他们通常不能对潜在的危险做出快速的反应。故C项正确。
【疑难词汇解读】
1.multitask vt.承担多项任务,做多项工作
Those who often multitask may face more pressures.
那些经常承担多项任务的人,可能要面对更多的压力。
2.distractible adj.注意力分散的;心烦意乱的。
It is dangerous if you are distractible while driving
如果你开车时精力不集中,那是很危险的。

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent，stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.
The 57-year-old，father-of-three，revealed on The Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.
“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone，” the self-made billionaire explained.

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(2014·鹰潭市高三第二次模拟考试)
There are many older people in the world and there will be many more.A lime-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries.According
to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.
It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries.For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent.It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.
What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.
Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society.In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge.Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people.As society changes，attitudes will change.
Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment.Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.
Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people.Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.
To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort.One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.
1．The proportion of older people________.
A．is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries
B．is one-seve nth of the population in developing countries
C．will increase much faster in China than in France
D．will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020
2. According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about? A．The diseases and disability of older people.
B．The longer life and good health of people.
C．The loss of taxes on older people.
D．The increasing respect for older people.
3．It is stated directly in the passage that older people should________.
A．be treated differently in different cultures
B．enjoy a similar lifestyle
C．be ignored as society changes
D．be valued by the younger generations
4．Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?
A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.
B．Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.
C．Providing free health care for sick older people.
D．Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.
5．The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.
A．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem B．population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently C．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem
D．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem
语篇解读本文为一篇说明文。老年人口的比例在发展中国家猛增，这无疑会带来很多问题，尽管这一问题很棘手，但解决这一问题势在必行、刻不容缓。
1．解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知，在法国，115年里老年人口的比例从7%增长到了14%，而在中国仅仅用于23年的时间就达到了这个增长幅度。因此可推知，将来中国老龄人口比例的增长速度要比法国快得多。
答案： C
2．解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.”可知，政府担心，人们活的寿命越长，人们的健康压力会越大。
答案： A
3．解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations...society.”可知，年轻人应该理解和尊重老年人，D项为文章中直接陈述的观点。
答案： D
4．解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句可知，A项表述正确；根据倒数第二段第一句可知，B项表述正确；根据倒数第三段第二句可知，D项表述正确。
答案： C
5．解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段中“there is no time to be lost”可知，作者认为，尽管人口老龄化这一问题很棘手，但解决它已经是刻不容缓了。

2020届高考英语一轮阅读理解热门话题针对训练-科教科普类(1)
科教科普类 1、You can remember the face, but can‘t put a name to it. Many of us have been caught in this embarrassing situation. But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone's name than what they look like. Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的) names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which they thought they had seen before. The participants could remember up to 85 per cent of the names but only 73 per cent of the faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could recall only 64 per cent of faces, according to the study, led by the University of York. That may be because faces are only recognized visually, while names can be both spoken and written down so appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs. Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university's psychology department, said, "Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds work." Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into acquaintances. But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a “fair test” where the participants were presented with strangers’ names and faces. 1.What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3? A.It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces. B.Remembering names is more easily than remembering faces.

高考英语二轮复习策略
高考英语二轮复习策略 英语卷无论是考试形式、试题结构，坚持稳定为主，注重基础考查，重点考查考生“在特定语境中语言运用能力”，即运用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。始终不变的重点知识，考生应该将其列为复习内容，同时抓牢基础知识，不要一味做偏、难、怪题。现提供以下三大点备考建议供参考： 一、回归基础，突出对主干知识的复习 高考英语改革虽然从强调知识考查向注重综合语言运用能力转变，但是还应认识到能力要有扎实的基础作为依托。尤其是到最后冲刺阶段更要重视基础知识的复习。一模后，一些考生普遍都有这样的感觉：很多题目“一看就会，一做就错”。造成这种现象的根本原因在于对基础知识的掌握不牢固。只有扎扎实实地从基础做起，才能“一看就会，一做就对”。英语基础知识包括词汇、语法、句型等。词汇复习应做到从不间断、反复巩固。除了记忆和理解之外，尤其要注意常用词汇的使用和辨析，以及一词多义的掌握。语法复习要理清基本概念，着重复习主干知识。比如，动词的时态、语态、语气，非谓语动词、情态动词等都是高考常涉及的知识点。但切记不要在钻研语法的难点上花过多时间，
英语语法不是数学公式，在不同的语境中用法就不同。 二、查漏补缺，强化专题训练 一模结束后，复习的重点要放在查漏补缺上。将做过的试卷整理后，建立错题档案，弥补知识漏洞，进行强化记忆和训练。比如，在建立错题档案时发现在非谓语动词、从句方面出错率比较高，就应该重点复习这方面的知识。不要注重记多少题，重要的是记住老师在课堂上对这些题的分析过程。抄录资料或刊物上的讲解也是值得推荐的方法。到考试前再回顾、反思、比较、消化，以期达到遇到同类试题不再出错的目的。复习中要加强题型专项训练，在训练中提高解题能力和解题速度；尤其要重视听力训练，所选听力材料不宜过难，语速要适中。复习中应适当加强对重点内容的强化训练和题后分析，提高“考点识别、寻找已知条件、排错求证”的思维能力。训练快速阅读的能力，提高带着问题快速搜索信息，根据上下文提示进行逻辑推断的能力。多读一些原汁原味的文章，通过广泛涉猎，培养英语语感，提高对词、句、篇的理解速度和准确度。专项训练要多、模拟测试要适当。 强调阅读语速是语言实际运用的主要特征之一，一般应保持在60wpm左右，按照“高中英语课程标准”要求，高中毕业时甚至应该达到70―80wpm.在平时训练中一定要注意 坚持阅读速度的要求。在真实语言环境中，所接触材料的篇

（英语）高考英语阅读理解(科普环保)解题技巧讲解及练习题(含答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解科普环保类 1．犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. While faking and fierce looks are among animals great defenses, many species know that everyone runs from a big stink (臭气) too. Vulture (秃鸳) Vultures, are street sweepers that feast on the rotting flesh of dead animals, which benefits us by ridding our highways and landscapes of animal bodies and the bacteria they might carry. When vultures feel threatened they vomit, and the smell of vomited-on dead bodies puts of most predators. Throwing up allows the vulture to fly away more quickly-and the vomit can hurt the aggressor's eyes and face. Opossum (负鼠) In some ways opossums have it easy. In order to become "dead", they don't have to fax anyone a death certificate. They just lie there with their tongues hanging out with the smell of dead flesh, sometimes for hours, effectively convincing potential predators they can find a much fresher meal elsewhere. Even if they keep getting attacked, they won't move any more than a human statue until the threat has passed. Hoatzin (磨雉) Hold your nose and meet the hoatzin, a bird of distinctions, not the least of which is that it smells like fresh cow shit. The animal mostly eats leaves and it's the only bird known to digest by fermentation, like a cow. This process is what causes its smell and has earned it the nickname the "stink bird Millipedes (千足虫) Millipedes are tricky. For starters they look wormy. Their name is deceptive, too: Their legs number about 750. Their major defense is to curl up into a ball. They, though, also release a harm eyes, and leave a horrible smell on their attackers. Sea Hare (海兔) The graceful sea hare is plain in taste in the first place, so it's not the most popular dish in the seafood chain. Nonetheless this type of sea creature has a pretty creative smell-related defense that is almost the opposite of its smelly companions on this list. The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators. Researchers using lobsters (2-f) as model predators found that the sea blocks the lobsters receptive mechanism. In other words, the sea hare gives its attacker the equivalent of a stuffy nose so they don't know how appealing it is. （1）The sea hare defends itself from predators by ________. A. becoming plain in taste at the discovery of a predator B. giving out purple ink to make itself invisible to predators C. releasing substance to make predators unable to smell it D. giving off smelly gas to try to drive predators away

2. The underlined sentence in the passage means that you’d better ask for a raise ______. A. when the employer has a normal pulse rate B. when the employer is in a good mood C. when the company has a good financial situation D. when the company’s practices are more flexible 3. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The employer will give you a raise because of your personal reasons. B. You should show them that you’re worthy of a salary increase. C. You can tell your boss the exact number of salary increase you want D. Schedule a meeting with your boss but don’t push too hard. 4. It can be inferred in the last paragraph that ______. A. If your boss won’t give you a raise, you’d better take fewer responsibilities. B. It is a wise way to get a raise by letting your boss know you are doing more. C. Only if you find a proper time to talk with your boss will you get a raise. D. You should schedule a meeting within a few months to discuss the matter again. B Here’s one number to keep in mind during your next cell phone conversation: 50. A new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ear increases activity in the brain. This brain activity probably doesn't make you smarter. When cell phones are on, they emit (发出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. Scientists don't know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. Studies like this one are attempting to find it out. The 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. Each one had two Samsung cell phones attached to his or her head — one on each ear. The phone on the left ear was off. The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldn't hear it because the sound was off. With this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. After 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the participants were given PET scans. The PET scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participant's brain hadn't changed during the experiment. The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. These right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests th at the brain cells there were active ― even without the person hearing anything. That activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiation from the phone. Henry Lai, who works at the University of Washington in Seattle, is uncomfortable with the data related to cell phones. Holding a cell phone to your ear during a conversation is “not really safe,” Lai told Science News. Lai is a bioengineer at the University of Washington in Seattle. He wrote an article about the new study for a journal, but he did not work on the study. Bioengineers bring together ideas from engineering and biology. For those who don't want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely. You can have short and sweet conversations, use a
高考英语 第二轮复习策略
2012高考英语第二轮复习策略 2011年，全国很多地区进入了新课改，新课改高考英语究竟怎么考？试卷结构如何？同学们该如何备考才能达到最佳效果？这些都是学校、英语教师、学生和家长都比较关注的一个热点话题。 整体上看，2011年各地新课改高考英语试卷都严格按照考试大纲和各省考试说明的要求编制，试题有较高的区分度。 试卷保持了“稳中有变，变中求新”的基本命题思路，始终坚持了“突出语篇，强调应用，注重交际”这一命题原则。单项填空题着重考查在语境中的语法运用和对词义的正确理解，不拘泥于单纯的知识点，而加强了对知识点综合运用能力的考查；完形填空更加注重篇章结构能力的考查，加强对“预阅”能力的考查，要从前后句和前后段的综合理解、推断中才能作出选择；阅读理解直接从文章中找答案的题目逐渐少了，主观推测的题目逐渐变了，出现“推测作者意图”的题目；改错题逐步弱化语法，增强篇章综合分析能力；书面表达从几种日常写作题型格式逐渐注重实际运用。 除此之外，部分省市的试卷中采用了新题型或在原有的题型上做了一些新的调整，从命题上更加“注重基础、强调应用、突出语篇、注重交际”，试题越来越注意题目设置的巧妙、灵活性、通用性、应用性、社会性。越来越注意对学生能力的考查，渗透着新课改的思想。 变化篇：重基础→考点考查，稳中求进，尝试新题型。 通过认真分析2011年新课改后全国各省（市、区）的高考英语试题，新课改后各省（市、区）的高考英语试题有一些共性，也有一些差异。 基础知识：英语知识运用测试的内容基本为单项填空（语法和词汇知识）和完形填空。差异性比较大的是广东省和陕西省。广东省测试的方向为语言知识及运用，内容分为完形填空测试和语法填空测试两个板块。陕西省在英语知识运用方面测试的方向为语音知识（满分5分）、情景对话（满分5分）、单项填空（满分15分）和完形填空（满分30分）。 阅读理解：在阅读理解方面大部分地区测试的形式相同。安徽、福建、浙江等3个地区阅读篇数为5篇；宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、山东、陕西、北京、江苏、天津、辽宁等10个地区阅读篇数为4篇；广东、湖南、上海等3地区阅读理解只有3篇。广东省在阅读方面增加了信息匹配试题，即阅读一篇应用文及相关信息，按照要求匹配信息。湖南省在写作中增加了任务型阅读和阅读表达。上海市把阅读分为四个板块来测试，包括完形填空、阅读理解、选择标题和读写阅读。

【英语】高三英语阅读理解(科普环保)题20套(带答案)
【英语】高三英语阅读理解(科普环保)题20套(带答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解科普环保类 1．犇犇阅读理解 A single dose(剂量) of an experimental vaccine(疫苗) can protect mice against the Zika(寨卡) virus, raising renewed hope of a vaccine for humans, say scientists. The US team say the results, published in Nature, are "striking" and should encourage research efforts. Tests in humans could begin in months. But even if these go well, a licensed vaccine for widespread use to protect those at most risk -such as pregnant women -would still be years away, experts advise. Zika has been spreading across Central and South America and, most recently, Africa. More than 60 countries and territories now have continuing transmission(传播) of the disease, which is carried by mosquitoes. The virus causes serious birth damages during pregnancy and has been declared a global public health emergency. Now, developing a vaccine for pregnant women to protect their unborn babies is an international research priority(优先事项). US scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School tested two types of Zika vaccine in mice – one based on bits of genetic(基因的) code from the virus and another that is an inactive (and therefore harmless) copy of Zika. Both worked well, protecting every mouse that was immunised against the virus. In comparison, all of the mice not given the vaccine caught Zika after they were exposed to it. Researchers say they will push ahead with developing the needed virus vaccine. There are many existing vaccines for other disease that use this type of technology, while there are relatively few DNA-based vaccines. Of course, future tests will need to check the vaccine is safe and effective in humans, as well as how long the immunity might last. （1）If the tests in humans go smoothly, . A. a vaccine for use in the laboratory will be still be years away. B. pregnant women in Africa will be the first to benefit from the vaccine. C. a licensed vaccine will still not be accessible in a short term. D. The Zika virus will cause less serious birth defects during pregnancy in months. （2）Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. many countries are actively involved in the research of the Zika vaccine. B. US scientists have tested more than two types of Zika vaccine in mice. C. None of the mice given the vaccine caught Zika. D. It is still unknown whether the vaccine is safe and effective. （3）Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Zika vaccine 'works very well' in mice B. Zika vaccine still has a long way to go C. International researches into Zika have paid off D. More attention has been paid to Zika vaccine 【答案】（1）C （2）B
高考英语二轮复习策略
高考英语二轮复习策略 高三英语复习在如火如荼的进行着，同学们的复习效果可谓是冰火两重天，有的同学掌握了英语的学习规律，复习的十分轻松，有的同学因为不得法，整天向我抱怨英语难学，有的甚至因为英语的瘸腿而与名牌大学失之交臂，许多家长也对孩子的英语是忧心忡忡。小编的八个必方法供同学们参考。 一、多听老师的，少自作主张 虽然同学们之前经历过很多考试，但高考对于我们来讲还是有些陌生。就算有些学生在高一、高二已经做过高考题，对于自己的知识缺陷到底有哪些，高考的重点是什么也不一定有非常清晰的了解。而高三的英语第一轮复习主要就是从语法和词法两个方面帮助大家梳理知识，并对应试策略加以指导。教高三的教师大都有着非常丰富的高考经验，也都会制定详细的教学计划，因此我们在安排自己的复习内容时要尽量和老师同步，把当天复习的内容彻底搞清楚，并辅以相应的练习加以巩固。遇到不会的，应该第一时间请教老师，千万不要留到最后甚至弃置不管。 二、多用碎时间，少搞大突击 英语学科是非常适合利用零碎时间来学习的。五分钟的时间能干什么?也许别的学科可以安排的复习活动并不多，但是英语却有很多。比如我们可以背单词，可以做一篇速读，
可以朗读一篇文章，可以做若干个单项选择，可以听听力，可以翻看任何英语的杂志、报刊甚至小说等。总而言之，时间是海绵里的水，挤挤总是有的。当然，如果我们要复习一个比较重要的语法项目，或者做一套英语试题的时候，我们也需要相对完整的时间，但基于语言学习的灵活性，同学们要培养语言学习的意识。Learning is anytime, anywhere with anyone。(学习无处不在)有些学生在制定自己的复习计划时，把一个星期中的七天分别给了不同的科目，这样做是不太科学的。正确的做法是每天复习两至三科为宜，而英语虽然持续时间不需要很长，但每天都接触确实十分必要的。A little bit every day makes perfect(点滴铸就完美)。 三、多接触英语，少钻研语法 近几年的高考越来越重视同学们运用英语的能力，逐渐削弱了对于语法的考察。纵观一份高考英语试卷，单纯考察语法的题目几乎没有。善于观察的学生更会发现，即使是在语法聚集的单项选择题中，也是强调语境的理解。此外，还逐渐加大了词义、词语辨析的考察。完形填空的四个选项是没有语法的错误的，考察大家是否能够根据文章的意思，选择用法上最恰当的词。阅读理解更是考察大家对于篇章的理解。当然，语法并不是不重要，有很多重点的项目是需要同学们掌握的。只是提醒大家在复习的时候，要做到从语言的
