But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.‎ ‎ Researchers performed experiments 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.‎ ‎31. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can______.‎ ‎ A. take more notes B. understand concepts better ‎ C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better ‎32.

Those are mine！” Gary exclaimed, his eyes glowing with joy.‎ ‎39. According to the passage, Gary thought his buying the gloves to be ________.‎ A. unnecessary 　　 B. wise ‎ C. hotheaded　　 D. adventurous ‎40. What can we infer about Gary?‎ A. He is not well off.‎ B. He is particular about food.‎ C. He holds a pessimistic attitude towards life.‎ D. He doesn't get along well with his neighborhood.‎ ‎41. In Gary’s opinion, why couldn't he recover his gloves at first?‎ A. He was not careful enough.‎ B. Someone picked up his gloves and kept them on purpose.‎ C. A customer took his gloves by mistake.‎ D.The cashier forgot to return his gloves.‎ ‎42. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. Seeking gloves B. The stolen gloves returned C. The low moral standards D. A forgetful but stubborn old man D ‎ The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers say. Here are some shopping tips:‎ ‎ • Consider your type of exercise. Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, or other specialties will give the best support for your feet. ‎ ‎ • Shop when you normally exercise. Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up by as much as a half-size, by nighttime. So don’t shop first ‎ thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening. ‎ ‎ • Try them on. Never buy a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy. Bring the type of socks you’d wear to work out and go for a walk through the store.‎ ‎ • Focus on fit. You should be able to fan your toes out comfortably, with about a 1cm of space between them and the front of the shoe. The back should fit against your heel and not move up and down. If your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one.‎ ‎ • Don't look to “break in” shoes. While shoes may get more flexible with use, they should be comfortable the first time you wear them. ‎ ‎ • Talk to an expert. Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride（步幅）and the shape of your feet and recommend the best shoes to guard against injuries. ‎ ‎ • Replace worn shoes regularly. Many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months, if possible, to keep proper support. ‎ ‎ One tip: If you have to tie your shoes very tightly to get the support you need, they may be ready to go.‎ 43. The passage offers us advice on how to ______. ‎ ‎ A. select good shoes B. prevent exercise injuries ‎ C. replace sports shoes D. buy exercise shoes ‎44. The underlined part "break in" in Paragraph 6 probably means ______. ‎ ‎ A. put something on by force ‎ ‎ B. bend something to test the quality ‎ C. make something comfortable with use ‎ ‎ D. interrupt something when it is happening ‎45. What can be learned from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Allow some space between your toes and the front of the shoe. ‎ ‎ B. Give up the shoes if they can not satisfy the need of your feet. ‎ ‎ C. Buy a tight pair of shoes to give the proper support for your feet. ‎ ‎ D. Prepare yourself to go with tight and comfortable shoes for support. ‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 46 Here is how to make one.‎ ‎ ● 47 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.‎ ‎ ● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 48 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.‎ ‎ ● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 49 ‎ ‎● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 50 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.‎ ‎　　‎ ‎ A. Find the right motivation.‎ ‎　　B. Get a sleep specialist.‎ ‎　　C. A better plan for sleep can help.‎ ‎　　D. And consider setting a second alarm.‎ ‎　　E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.‎ ‎　　F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.‎ ‎　　G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.‎ 第三部分 ‎ 第一节 ‎：完形填空(共20小题；每小题l.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ A few weeks ago, our dog, which we had kept for more than ten years, had to be put down(安乐死).
