1山西应县 2017 高考英语阅读理解一轮选编（1）【2016 年沈阳市高中三年级教学质量监测（一）】阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。DWhen going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people don’t make these choices consciously (意识到地) though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately. There’s no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don’t get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty (忠诚)? Shouldn’t you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn’t you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best self as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I’m sorry, but I can’t have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it’s often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it’s also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently. 1、When experiencing major life changes, people may _______. A. join a new social communityB. influence their friends aroundC. choose their friendships purposely D. have their people environment changed2、. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Everyone has at least one friend.B. It is unnecessary to make new friends.C. Friendship still exists though there’s less connection. D. You ought to treat your old and new friends equally.3. What is the author’s opinion on the loyalty to friends?A. Never betray your close friends whatever happens. 2B. Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C. Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you. D. Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke. 4. How should we behave when employed by a violent boss? A. We should accept what we are told to do.B. We should stay silent and be in favor of it. C. We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong. D. We should give our boss courage to continue. 参考答案 1—4、DCBC【2013】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。We've considered several ways of paying to cut in line：hiring line standers, buying tickets from scalpers(票贩子)，or purchasing line－cutting privileges directly from，say，an airline or an amusement park.Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue(waiting your turn)with the morals of the market(paying a price for faster service)．Markets and queues—paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating things，and each is appropriate to different activities.The morals of the queue， “First come, first served， ” have an egalitarian(平等主义的)appeal.They tell us to ignore privilege，power，and deep pockets.The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops.But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions.If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, simply because it's the first.Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities，properly governed by different standards.Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply.Think of the recorded message you hear，played over and over，as you wait on hold when calling your bank：“Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.”This is essential for the morals of the queue.It's as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.But don't take the recorded message too seriously.Today, some people's calls are answered faster than others.Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places.You might call this telephonic queue jumping.Of course，markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things.Some goods we 3distribute by merit，others by need，still others by chance.However，the tendency of markets to replace queues，and other non－market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore.It is striking that most of the paid queue－jumping schemes we've considered—at airports and amusement parks，in call centers，doctors' offices，and national parks—are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago.The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern，but these are not the only places that markets have entered.58．According to the author，which of the following seems governed by the principle “First come，first served”？A．Taking buses. B．Buying houses.C．Flying with an airline. D．Visiting amusement parks.59．The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates ________．A．the necessity of patience in queuing B．the advantage of modern technologyC．the uncertainty of allocation principle D．the fairness of telephonic services60．The passage is meant to ________．A．justify paying for faster services B．discuss the morals of allocating thingsC．analyze the reason for standing in line D．criticize the behavior of queue jumping【要点综述】 本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述的是生活中购物买票等的插队问题。作者通过举例、道理分析来解读道德和市场的平衡问题，要想得到快速的服务，就要额外付出更多的费用，由此对在道德和市场竞争之间产生的矛盾进行探讨。58．A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“First come, first served…”和第三段“The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops.But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions.”可知选 A 项。59．C 细节判断题。根据第四段“Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply.”和第五段可知，有时分配的原则是不断变化的，也就是说分配原则的不确定4性，故选 C 项。60．B 作者意图题。本文主要阐述了如何进行分配，讨论了基于分配原则的可变性的道德标准，故选 B 项。【2013】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保) that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give_me_a_fish_and_I_eat_for_a_day,_teach_me_to_fish_and_I_eat_for_a_lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometime what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the 5countries concerned, there is also the build－up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.61．According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A. By solving the cost problems.B. By solving the transportation problems.C. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.62．What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence? A. Providing food is vital. B. Learning to fish is helpful.C. Teaching skills is essential. D. Looking after others is important.63．The second paragraph is developed mainly________．A. by example B. by process C. by comparison D. by contrast64．Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A. A medical team. B. An exchange program.C. A water plant. D. Financial support.65．What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A. It is facing difficulties. B. It is unnecessary during normal times.C. It should be given in the form of materials.D. It has gained support from developed countries.【要点综述】 本文主要就给他国提供援助一事，提议“授人以鱼，不如授人以渔” ，建议不如与他国分享知识及技术。61. C 考查细节理解。由第一段最后一句“Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.”可知作者认为联合国可在每个国家设立一个捐助机构。62. C 考查推理判断。由画线句后面的内容“If we follow this wise saying, it would be 6right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another.”可知我们要教会欠发达国家的人们照顾他们自己，在画线句子中，作者试图要表达的是教给他们技能是重要的。63. A 考查推理判断。由第二段第三句后“For example…”后的内容可知，本段通过举例子来说明“授人以鱼，不如授人以渔”这一观点。64. D 考查细节理解。由最后一段倒数第二句“Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run…”可知经济的支持是暂时的。65. A 考查推理判断。根据第一段的内容“When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple…Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time.”可推出国际援助要到达受助人手中不容易，涉及开销以及时间等问题，由此可推断国际援助正面临着困难。阅读理解Banks view online banking as a powerful “value-added” tool to attract and keep new customers while helping to eliminate costly paper handling or teller（出纳员）interactions in an increasingly competitive banking environment.Today, most large national banks, many local banks and credit unions offer some form of online banking, variously known as PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet banking. Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that haven’t yet offered online banking, as well as from “virtual”（虚拟）banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever.The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe , fully functional（功能的）online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines (ATM).Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they’re at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they’re a mouse click away. If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can log 7on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm （确认）deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively.1. The word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.A. keep B. remove C. reduce D. improve 答案解析：答案为 B。本题为词义推断题。结合该词在第一段的前后文，银行认为网上银行是一种强大的增值工具, 可以用它来吸引和维护新的客户，同时也可以帮助 “to eliminate costly paper handling or …”，此处 costly 意为 “昂贵的，代价高的”, 由此可知，eliminate 意为 “去除” 。故选 B。2. What is the challenge for the banking industry according to the text?A. To make online banking attractive. B. To open new services all over the world.C. To offer online banking for free. D. To take care of business 24 hours a day.答案解析：答案为 A。本题为段落主旨题。第三段的首句为本段的中心句，提到了“The challenge for the banking industry…that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it.” 即银行业面对的挑战是让客户学习使用和信任这种新的服务，第三段后面的内容都是对中心句进行解释和说明。故答案为 A，让网上银行变得具有吸引力。解答此题同样要注意同义句的转换。3. From the text we can conclude that .A. “brick-to-click” banks are in fact another kind of physical banks B. the function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as that of an ATM C. a “brick-to-mortar” bank is no better than a virtual one D. customers can deal with their banking by a mouse click 答案解析：答案为 D。本题为细节理解题。从第二段 “Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that haven’t yet offered online banking, as well as from “virtual”（虚拟）banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever.”可知，网上银行有时候被称作是“brick-to-click” 银行，不同于没有网上银行业务的 “brick-to-mortar” 银行; 网上银行也是虚拟银行，没有实体的分行，故 A 不对；C 选项中 no better than 意为 “和 . 一样不好”, 与文意不符。在第三段最后一句话 “… fully 8functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines (ATM).”中，注意 “will likely” , 故 B 选项不对。通过分析知，网上银行被称作是 “brick-to-click” 银行, 可知 D 选项的意思 “顾客凭借鼠标就可以进行网上银行操作”与文意符合。故答案为 D。4. What would be the best title for this text?A. Banking of Various Forms B. Improvement of Banking Industry C. Development of Online Banking D. Functions of the “Brick-to-Click” Bank 答案解析：答案为 C。本题考查文章的标题。本文都是在围绕网上银行展开，故答案为 C。1山西应县 2017 高考英语阅读理解一轮选编（2）【2016 年三省四市高三模拟考试英语能力测试】阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。DTry rubbing(摩擦) the tip of your finger backwards and forwards very quickly on your coat or a blanket. It should become hot. In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together to make them warm. The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called “friction”(摩擦力). In the same way, people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby. The heat set the leaves or grass alight. This was a difficult way of making fire. Better ways were found by using flint(火石), but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England.Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match. The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorous(磷), a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly. The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight. By rubbing the end of the match on sandpaper, the friction easily set the phosphorous alight. These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces, including the leather sole（底）of a shoe.At the time, everyone thought this was a wonderful invention. Unfortunately accidents happened. A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated. Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket! Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire.What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface. In 1852, the safety match was invented in Sweden. No phosphorous was used in the matchhead—it was put on the outside of the matchbox instead. This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorous.1. Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood?A. The leaves or grass is easy to be alight.B. The leaves or grass covered the wood well.C. The leaves or grass help the air cause heat. D. The leaves or grass acted as the role of match .2、What did the chemists make the match of in 1827?A. Leather sole, sandpaper and leaves. B. Wood, leather sole and sandpaper.C. Phosphorous, wood and sandpaper.D. Phosphorous, sandpaper and flint.3. If a match was struck on a special surface, we could see_____.A. loose matches could catch fire fiercely B. phosphorous wasn’t needed in the match C. there were matches and sandpaper in pockets.D. loose matches in pockets wouldn’t catch fire at a time.参考答案 1—3、ACD【2013】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from the 2moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”—the real mother or the mother－substitute (母亲替代物). During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological (心理的) thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother－substitutes—one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother－substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother. Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact(接触) comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn't “rub” as well as does soft cloth. Prolonged (长时间的) “contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk. According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother－substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace (拥抱) as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its 3“mother”. 50．Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life? A. Warmth. B. Milk. C. Contact. D. Trust. 51．After the first two weeks of their life, baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is ________. A. larger in size B. closer to them C. less frightening and less disturbing D. more comfortable to rub against 52．What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”？A. Attention. B. Softness. C. Confidence. D. Interest. 53．It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure, ________. A. it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toysB. it spends more time screaming to get rewardsC. it is less attracted to the toys though they are interestingD. it cares less about whether its mother is still around54．The main purpose of the passage is to ________. A. give the reasons for the experimentB. present the findings of the experimentC. introduce the method of the experimentD. describe the process of the experiment【要点综述】 这是一篇说明文。作者主要向读者阐述了一个关于幼猴的实验发现。50．A 考查细节理解。从文章第一段“During the first few days of its life…onto almost any large, warm, and soft object…”可知，幼猴刚出生最需要的是温暖，所以选 A 项。51．D 考查推理判断。从第三段“Why is cloth preferable to bare wire？…Baby monkeys spent much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins…”推知，幼猴选择“布妈妈” ，而不是“线妈妈”的原因在于相对于“线妈妈”而言， “布妈妈”皮肤接触起来更舒服，可能也更暖和，故选 D 项。 452．C 考查细节理解。从第三段“Prolonged (长时间的)‘contact comfort’ with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and …”可知，长时间地与“布妈妈”接触，增加了幼猴的自信心，因此 C 项是最佳答案。53．D 考查推理判断。从最后一段“If its cloth mother is now introduced…it obviously begins to feel more secure.It then climbs down from…and less and less time holding onto its ‘mother’． ”推知，当幼猴看到“布妈妈”后，它会觉得有安全感，从而在行为上会放松起来，从而越来越喜欢玩玩具，而减少与“母亲”接触的时间，所以 D 项正确。54．B 考查写作意图。文章主要介绍了一个关于幼猴的实验结果，因此作者在文章中是要呈现这个结果给读者，所以 B 项为最佳答案。阅读理解Awareness Weeks （认知宣传周）have become a regular part of Britain’s cultural landscape over the past few years . They started back in 1957, when one charity （慈善机构）, Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.They were right, and soon other charities and campaign （活动）groups followed them. These days , most donations（捐款）to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “raising awareness” —spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support . They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.There are now 500 awareness weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May or October.The danger with all these awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical(不信任). Take National Smile Week; it seems like a great idea. Let’s all make each other’s life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. But really it’s just a group of dentists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. It’s enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week.“People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says Ms Ormiston , who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encourages people who run 5Awareness Weeks to become more aware of each other . “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”“There’s still no official group for awareness campaigns,” says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets（经费）or their public relations machines allows .”This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation(模仿) charity campaigns.But there is another way. Maybe it’s time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.1. What’s the main purpose of awareness weeks run by charities in Britain?A. To raise money for charities. B. To spread knowledge of charities.C. To take up marketing campaigns. D. To advertise their goods for sale.答案解析：答案为 A。本题为细节题。从第一段第二句话 “…decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year.”可知，答案为 A。2. Why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks?A. Too many awareness weeks make people feel bored.B. People feel many awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.C. People have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.D. Awareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised.答案解析：答案为 B。本题为细节题。第四段中提到了人们开始对认知宣传周不满意，第五段中首句 “People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises…”可知，答案为 B。3. What does Ms Ormiston think about awareness weeks?A. Most of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.B. Official groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.C. People can do what they like in awareness weeks.D. People can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.答案解析：答案为 A。本题为细节题。从第五段的最后一句话 ““But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”可知，答案为 A。在第六段中 Ms 6Ormiston 提到认知宣传活动没有正式的群体（no official group for awareness campaigns），因而人们可以做他们想做的，不考虑到活动经费或者公共关系机器所允许的范围。故 B，C，D 都与文意不符。4. Which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns?A. Laws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.B. There should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns.C. Business and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same place.D. Marketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.答案解析：答案为 D。本题为推理题。从倒数第二段首句 “This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns.”可知，要解决前面提到的问题就要制定法律来阻止真正的慈善活动被市场营销活动所过度遮蔽，言外之意就是市场营销活动不应在慈善活动的名义下进行。故答案为 D。A 选项与文意不符；B 选项未提及。倒数第二段的第二句话 “This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.”可知，文中提到了 “different times”，而非 C 选项的 “not be held at the same place”, 故 C 选项不正确。5. What’s the writer’s view on Awareness Weeks?A. National Forget About It Week should be held to stop awareness weeks.B. National Smile Week is a great idea to improve people’s life.C. National Weak Awareness Week can help people better understand awareness weeks.D. Awareness Weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.答案解析：答案为 C。本题考查作者的观点态度。最后一段中，作者提到 “Maybe it’s time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.”，由此可知，作者认为对那些认知宣传周意识薄弱的人要进行宣传，言外之意就是 National Weak Awareness Week 可以帮助人们更好的理解认知宣传周。故答案为 C。 A，B, D 都与文意不符。【2013】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Multitasking7People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self－evaluations by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and can't focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things， ” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation－seeking (寻求刺激) or impulsive (冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants' multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation－seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.“People multitask not because it's going to lead to greater productivity, but because they're distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important， ” Sanbonmatsu said.Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn't find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people's recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation－seekers who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations， ” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they're dangerous.”67. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask ________．A. seek high productivity constantlyB. prefer handling different things when getting bored8C. are more focused when doing many things at a timeD. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time68．When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they ________．A. assessed the multi
