11、ericans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk , Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology

12、 is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at Facebook puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains , is important for critical (有判断力的)thinking , problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the

13、 brain a rest. And being in naure , Strayer claims , helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15,000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. The

14、y take walks, climb, explore , swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example .He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping . He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another exam

15、ple who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children . She calls it a “regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah , David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature

16、 without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However ,he found , it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset

17、 itself.1、What is David Strayers opinion ?AAmericans dislike outdoor activitiesBElectronic equipment should be quittedCNew technologies are a double-edged swordDElectronic equipment brings great convenience2、Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?ATo try another lifestyleBTo refresh our brainCTo mak

18、e better decisions.DTo play with our family and friends3、What does the underlined word “regenerative” mean?ARebornBMemorableCRemarkableDTiring4、Which is the proper title for the passage?AElectronic Equipment Harms the BrainBGood Rest Develops Good MemoryCTips on Using New TechnologiesDBeing in Natur

19、e Is Good for the Brain22（8分）It is one of the oldest magic tricks in the booka magician locks a woman in a box, with her head and feet sticking out from either end, and saws (锯) it in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box, the woman is unharmed.This trick was introduced nearly a century ag

20、o. It has been around for some time, but it never goes wrong. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled.Our brain processes the world around us based on information that sensory organs, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we see a cow or a horse stand

21、ing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animals body that is hidden from our sight. “So the brain is taking this kind of very sparse (匮乏的) information about the world and its generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik, a scientist at the Barrow Neuro

22、logical Institute in Arizona, US, told Science magazine.But since our brains are filling in the gaps, sometimes they get it wrong. They tend to be driven by our previous experiences and we expect things to go as they have in the past even if sometimes they do not.This tendency explains magicians suc

23、cess in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin thrown to the other hand, you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.Apart from the information gaps, magicians also use the “blind s

24、pots” theory when doing their shows.The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible gorilla (大猩猩)”, in which volunteers watch a video of two basketball teams. They are asked to count how many times the teams wearing white shirts pass the ball. In the meantime, a per

25、son dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, half of the viewers dont notice the gorilla, even when they appear to be looking directly at it.Magicians employ this tactic (招数), what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. They direct our attention somewhere else

26、 using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance.1、The magic trick is mentioned in the first paragraph to _.Aintroduce the steps of the magic trickBprove magic tricks seldom go wrongCreveal how magic tricks are designedDget us to wonder how magicians trick the mind2、We ca

27、n conclude from the passage that the human mind is easily fooled because our brain _.Amay have difficulty remembering what we just sawBfills in information about the magic worldCis influenced by our previous experiencesDprocesses far more information than our sensory organs pick up3、What does the un

28、derlined word “invisible” in paragraph 7 refer to?AUnnoticed. BUnimportant.CUnpleasant. DUnprepared.4、During the “invisible gorilla” experiment, people watching the video ignore the “gorilla” because _.Athey dont look directly at itBthey are not interested in itCthey are too focused on countingDthey

29、 consider it to be a distraction5、Why do magicians usually use comedy and music when they play magic tricks?ATo get viewers to stay focused on the show.BTo make the show more fun and exciting.CTo draw viewers attention away from a secret action.DTo create information gaps between magicians and viewe
