  PART V READING COMPREHENSION [35 MIN]

  SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

In this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

  PASSAGE ONE

Inundated by more information than we can possibly hold in our heads, we're increasingly handing off the job of remembering to search engines and smart phones. Google is even reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about whoever you're looking at But new research shows that outsourcing our memory — and expecting that information will be continually and instantaneously available — is changing our cognitive habits.

Research conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University,has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet age. First, her experiments showed that when we don't know the answer to a question, we now think about where we can find the nearest Web connection instead of the subject of the question itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find information again later on, we don't remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the researchers' final observation: the expectation that we'll be able to locate information down the line leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we'll be able to find it.

But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these facts can't be Googled as we go; they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long-term memory. Especially in the case of children, “factual knowledge must precede skill”,says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology,at the University of Virginia — meaning that the days of drilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren't over quite yet Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new information they encounter. You can't Google context.

41. Google's eyeglasses are supposed to ____.

A. improve our memory

B. function like memory

C. help us see faces better

D. work like smart phones

42. Which of the following statements about Sparrow's research is CORRECT?

A. We remember people and things as much as before.

B. We remember more Internet connections than before.

C. We pay equal attention to location and content of information.

D. We tend to remember location rather than the core of facts.

43. What is the implied message of the author?

A. Web connections aid our memory.

B. People differ in what to remember.

C. People need to exercise their memory.

D. People keep memory on smart phones.
