A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑). 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. 小题1:More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .A.write more notesB.digest concepts better C.get higher scoresD.understand lectures better 小题2:While taking notes, laptop users tend to be .A.skillfulB.mindless C.thoughtfulD.tireless 小题3:The author of the passage aims to .A.examine the importance of long-term memory B.stress the benefit of taking notes by hand C.explain the process of taking notes D.promote the use of laptops 小题4:The passage is likely to appear in .A.a newspaper advertisementB.a computer textbook C.a science magazineD.a finance report 参考答案及解析 小题1:A 小题2:B 小题3:B 小题4:C 试题分析：文章介绍通过实验发现手写记笔记比用笔记本记笔记好处更多，学生更容易记住记的材料。这样可以督促学生多用手记笔记。 小题1:细节题：根据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).可知越来越多的学生喜欢用笔记本记笔记，因为这样他们可以记更多的笔记。所以选A。 小题2:细节题：根据第三段的句子，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可知使用笔记本记笔记的学生往往是无意识的。所以选B。 小题3:写作意图题：文章介绍通过实验发现手写记笔记比用笔记本记笔记好处更多，学生更容易记住记的材料，所以作者是想强调用手记笔记的重要性。所以选B。 小题4:文章出处题：作者介绍手写记笔记和用笔记本记笔记好处相比，学生更容易记住记的材料。这个结果是通过两个实验得出的，所以应该是出现在科学杂志上，而不是：报纸广告，电脑课文，和财经报道，所以选C. 相关资料 |
