More than 100 million people are expected to buy something online this holiday season. 9 Traditionally, the biggest shopping day of the year was in late November on the day after Thanksgiving. People still
29、call it “Black Friday”. The idea was that it could push businesses “into the black”the traditional color for recording profits. Red is for debts. But now the busiest days are right before Christmas. Many people wait for last-minute price reductions. With the rise of the Internet, the National Retail
30、 Federation came up with a new term. 10 “Cyber Monday” is the Monday after Thanksgiving. The idea is that many people look in stores over the weekend. Then, to save time, they order onlineusing the Internet at their jobs when they return back to work. Cyber Monday is a big day online. But market res
31、earchers at ComScore Networks reported that the biggest day of the holiday season so far was December thirteenth.

Instead, they
34、 type on laptop or tablet computers. But scientists from Princeton University and the University of California say that method is less effective. If you need to remember something, write it. 12 Writing notes by hand is much better for long-term memory of ideas, or conceptual information. That is the
35、 finding of a 2014 study published in the journal Psychological Science. Here is what the research showed. Students who type notes on a keyboard often transcribe, or write down what the professor says word-for-word. They may write without really thinking about what they are writing. These electronic
36、 notes contained more words. But scientists say it leads to “mindless transcription”. 13 Transcription means to record something exactly as you hear it. However, students taking notes long-hand, or by writing them, need to first process the information they hear. Then they record just the main point
37、s, or summarize. They use fewer words. This is because people usually write slower than they type. This process of summarizing information leads to a deeper understanding, say the researchers. In the study, students listened to a teacher and then took a test. Some took notes by typing on a computer.
38、 The others took notes by writing them down. Both groups performed about the same in remembering facts. But students who typed their notes did much worse on conceptual questions. These questions required them to understand an idea. Those who typed also could not stop transcribing even after they wer
39、e told to try to avoid it. So even if you want to stop typing what you hear word-for-word, you might not be able to. Also, researchers found that those who wrote their notes remembered conceptual information better a week later. 14 Researchers believe that the students who wrote notes long-hand had
40、a deeper understanding of ideas and concepts. Scientists know that students probably will still use their laptops and tablets in class. 15 But they suggest using some of the available technologies for writing notes by hand on computer screens. They say this might be a good compromise between old sch
41、ool and new school. Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard. 12.What is the finding of the 2014 research? 13.What does the word “transcription” mean according to the passage? 14.What is the advantage of taking notes by hand? 15.What do the scientists suggest? 12 【正确答案】 B 【知识模

43、orite thing about trees is that they always seem to have a glow around them. I love trees because they always smell so fresh and clean. I like to go to the nursery because 17 I love the smell of trees, its so refreshing. Its a glass of cool water on a hot day, or a damp cloth on a hot forehead. One
44、of my favorite things about trees is that they are fun to climb. I started climbing trees when I was very little. I especially like to climb my grandpas apple tree. I love to wind through the branches, and climb up to a board that has been placed there. Once up, I like to think and relax, or bring a
45、 book up there with me. 18 Its fun to let my imagination run away with me while eating apples. I love trees in the autumn when they display their beautiful colors. In the autumn time, splashes of red, yellow, orange, and green decorate the mountainsides. The maples go red, the oak and aspen go yello
46、w while the evergreens maintain their beautiful shade of green. 19 Trees make life possible because they use the carbon dioxide and release oxygen so that we can breathe. If we exterminate trees, the effects could be fatal. There may be global warming, lack of oxygen, and we would definitely not hav
