I may have to talk with your parents, ”Mrs. James said. “Now, class, clear your desks. Lets welcome our guest, Doctor Landon. He is a

Students who spend time teaching what theyve learned show better understanding and ability
25、 to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re-studying. But why does teaching help? Researchers led by Aloysius Wei Lun Koh did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teachers learning because it forces the teacher to retrieve（检索）what theyve learned. In other
26、words, they believe that bringing to mind what weve learned leads to deeper and longer-lasting acquisition（获得）of that information than spending more time re-studying. The researchers asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them. They
27、 told the students they could take notes while studying, but would teach the material afterwards without notes. After studying the text, the students were divided into four groups. In one group the students spent five minutes delivering a lesson on the study material without notes. The other groups
28、either spent the same time completing arithmetic（算术）problems, teaching with a script（讲稿）or writing down all they could remember from the text-a form of retrieval practice. A week later, all the students returned to the lab for a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text. The imp
29、ortant finding is that the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group outperformed the group that completed arithmetic problems and the group that taught with a script. In fact,the performance of the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group was comparable. The
30、 researchers said the result shows that the benefits of the learning-by-teaching method are caused by retrieval practice; that is, the learning-by-teaching method works only when the teaching involves retrieving the taught materials. The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning-
31、by-teaching method is used in education. In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material, they should internalize（内化）the material before presenting it to others, rather than depend on notes during the presentation process.27Why did the researchers do the study?ATo comp
32、are different methods of learning.BTo test whether teaching can improve learning.CTo find out the reason why people like teaching.DTo check the reason for learning-by-teaching effect.28Paragraph 3 is mainly about _.Ahow long the study lastedBwho took part in the studyCwhat result the study showedDho
33、w the study was performed29What can we learn from the study?ATeaching with a script is the best way of learning.BTeaching benefits learning because of retrieval practice.CSolving arithmetic problems is harder than doing other tasks.DPresenting with notes can help students remember a material.DTechno
34、logy has done our world wonders: from development in medicine, travel, communication, to our day-to-day lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we l
35、osing our ability to create? Technology presents a new platform for creativity to exist(存在)on. Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions. For example, businesses now have the opportunity t
36、o improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements,social media or radio. However, when we look more closely, its easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so heavily on automated calculations(自动计算)nowadays, rather than taking the time to work it out f
37、or ourselves. Another obvious situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the opportunities to come up with their own creations. Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity? I think so. It is simply a matter of
38、making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices(数字设备)by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them,turning off the notifications(通知)on your phone, or putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb”. Once you become used to these,
39、 you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone. Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in the nature. It can help you reset, rebalance, and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental(思想的)he
40、alth. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a journal, or reading. The key to the survival(生存)of our creativity starts with us. Will you put your phone away when spending time with friends? Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen? The actions you choose to
41、take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better.30Why does the writer talk about businesses in Paragraph 2?ATo stress the importance of creativity.BTo suggest good ways to develop technology.CTo show the effect that technology has on creativity.DTo explain the
42、 relationship between business and creativity.31The word “deterred”in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”.AexaminedBcontrolledCreplacedDprevented32The writer probably agrees that _.Alimiting the usage of our phones can help us develop creativityBspending time on screens is the easiest way to keep people
