A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 1 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 2number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to3 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to4on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate5into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 6message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 7.

It is difficult to measure the productivity8by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The9is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and10time before they returned to their main tasks.

【解析】

本文為說明文。文章用紐約新的法律禁止人們在步行、開車的同時接電話或聽音樂,來說明人們一般不能同時專心做好兩件事。否則會付出相應的代價。

1考查被動語態(tài)。句意:好吧,紐約的新法律規(guī)定你不能這樣做。如果你在紐約的街道上這樣做,你將被罰款1000美元。根據上文你根據新法律規(guī)定你不能這樣做,如果這樣做了,那么你一定會被罰款的。因此要填罰款(fine)的被動形式,填fined。故選I。

2考查形容詞做定語。句意:這項法律于上月生效,此前有研究表明,(交通)事故數量讓人觸目驚心,這與人們在過馬路時使用這些電子玩意兒有關。分析句子可知,有那么多的事故與過馬路時用電子設備有關,可知(交通)事故數量讓人觸目驚心,填shocking。故選E

3考查語境及固定搭配。句意:這是誰的責任?分析上下文可知,此處是說這些事故的發(fā)生是誰的責任?“be to blame ”為固定搭配,意為應負責任,填blame,故選D。

4考查固定搭配。句意:但一個主要的限制是不能同時專注于兩件事。根據上文科學家說我們的多任務處理能力是有限的。以及我們的大腦能做的比平時更多。結合轉折連詞but,可知,是指我們不能同時專注于兩件事?芍,此處是指固定搭配“concentrate on…”意思為專注于……”,填concentrate,故選G。

5考查名詞作賓語。句意:一組1821歲的年輕人和一組3539歲的年輕人被給予90秒的時間,用一個簡單的代碼將圖像轉換成數字。根據語境可知,此處是指把圖像轉化為數字,填images,故選B。

6考查語境及形容詞做定語。句意:但當兩組人都被電話或即時消息打斷時,年長的一組在速度和準確度上與年輕一組相當。根據語境可知,此處是指被電話或即時消息(instant message)所打斷,填instant,故選C。

7考查名詞。句意:但當兩組人都被電話或即時消息打斷時,年長的一組在速度和準確度上與年輕一組相當。根據語境可知,此處是指在速度和準確度(accuracy)上是一致的,填accuracy,故選F。

8考查過去分詞做后置定語。句意:很難衡量多任務處理者因為錯誤而導致的生產力損失。分析句子可知,空格處在句中做名詞the productivity的后置定語,根據下文一家商業(yè)研究公司估計,中斷美國經濟的代價每年接近6500億美元。,可知,此處是指損失的生產力,the productivity與動詞lost是被動關系,填lost,故選J。

9考查語境及名詞做主語。句意:這一估計是根據對上班族的調查得出的。分析句子可知,空格處在句中做主語,要用名詞。上一段最后一句“a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year. ”這是一家商業(yè)研究公司估計得出的結論,此處是承接上文的,因此可知,本空格說的是上文的估計,填名詞估計,即“estimate”,故選K。

10考查名詞做介詞賓語。句意:調查得出的結論是,28%的員工時間都花在了中斷和恢復上,然后才回到他們的主要工作上。分析句子可知,空格處在句中作介詞on的賓語。根據后文“before they returned to their main tasks.”在他們重返主要的工作崗位前,可知,此處是指重返崗位的恢復,即recovery,故選A。

【題目】Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did foolish experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?

Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.

Charles Darwin didn’t settle for(滿足于)just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.

Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.

But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.

It’s true that the job market is much more harder these days. Therefore, there are certainly some ways to make living on our own. Even if our parents is nice enough to pay for our college, we shouldn’t burden them with our problems. We should be financial responsible adults, made our parents proud of us.
