16、ncient Iraq and Syria some4,000 years ago, the commonly used words for “to read” literally meant “to cry out” or “to listen. But today, silent reading is the norm. The majority of us bottle the words in our heads as if sitting in a quiet library. Reading out loud is largely kept for bedtime stories
17、and performances. However, a growing body of research suggests that we may be missing out by reading only with the voices inside our minds. The ancient art of reading aloud has a number of benefits for adults, from helping improve our memories and understand complex texts, to strengthening emotional
18、 bonds between people. Colin MacLeod, a psychologist at the University of Waterloo in Canada, has researched the impact of reading aloud on memory. He and his colleagues have shown that people consistently remember words and texts better if they read them aloud than if they read them silently. The e
19、ffect of reading aloud is particularly strong in children, but it works for older people, too.MacLeod has named this phenomenon the “production effect”. It means that producing written words-thats to say, reading them out loud-improves our memory of them.The production effect has been replicated in
20、numerous studies for more than a decade. Inone study in Australia, a group of seven- to- ten- year- olds were presented with a list of words and asked to read some silently, and others aloud. Afterwards, they correctly recognised 87% of the words theyd read aloud, but only 70% of the silent ones.In
21、another study, adults aged 67 to 88 were given the same task-reading words either silently or aloud-before then writing down all those they could remember. They were able to recall 27% of the words they had read aloud, but only 10% of those theyd read silently. When asked which ones they recognised,
22、 they were able to correctly identify 80% of the words they had read aloud, but only 60% of the silent ones. MacLeod and his team have found the effect can last up to a week after the reading task.24. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. Reading aloud started in ancient Iraq and Syria.B
23、. People remember words better in a quiet library.C.Reading aloud is beneficial to people of all ages.D. Silent reading results in missing out some words.25. What does the underlined word “replicated in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Challenged.B.Repeated.C.Ignored.D.Improved.26.What are the two studie
24、s in the last two paragraphs intended to prove?A. There is no production effect at all.B. Reading aloud improves memory.C. Silent reading has an instant effect.D.Children remember more words.27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?.A. Reading aloud-an art from the past.B. Reading silently-a

26、 product is faster. In some cases, chatting with a bot (robot)may be even more efficient.We have experimented with chatbots for years. Facebook has offered tools for businessmen to make bots that deal with customers. Retailers (零售商）like Amazon have used chatbots to answer customers questions, and wh

34、me a thing of past.D. Augmented reality will be used in advertising.DOver a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, more people are increasingly familiar with “Zoom fatigue,” the tiredness caused by overuse of videoconferencing tools such as Zoom. Zoom fatigue, however, can hit people differently depending
35、 on their personality.The videoconferences seem smart and fun, but to many extroverts(性格外向者），the experience has proved to be less satisfying. Zoom does not provide the same heartfelt feedback as a live conversation, so it is not rewarding as expected. In a videoconference, the body language and othe
36、r visual actions that are so often part of in-person conversation arent fully there. And that can weigh especially on extroverts.Extroverts can also become impatient at some of the structure and controls that videoconferencing platforms place on conversations. Functions such as muting(禁言），for exampl
37、e, control the conversation in a way that does not happen with in-person conversations. For introverts, video calls cause their own special challenges. For one thing, in most virtual meetings, with multiple participants observing one another, introverts feel like being constantly watched. That is qu
38、ite tiring. They prefer to control who is in their personal space and for how long, or rather, to connect with people one-on-one or in small groups.Whats more, in-person conversation offers pauses that can give a speaker, especially anintrovert, time to consider a new thought. Pauses while on-screen
39、, however, can be confusing. Has a person finished speaking? Or has the Internet connection caused the screen to freeze? Pauses or silence between thoughts or topics feels more unbearable and difficult to interpret due to the video.Each individual has to find the right balance to create more satisfy
40、ing Zoom experiences. It is suggested that extroverts improve their videoconferencing experiences by making their calls with larger screens, louder audio and shared activities. For introverts, a good first step is to avoid optional video calls. Setting boundaries beforehand can also help. This could
41、 take the form of telling others at the beginning of a call when you need to leave.32. Who may experience “Zoom fatigue”？A. Extroverts.B.Introverts.C. Neither extroverts nor introverts.D.Both extroverts and introverts.33. Why are extroverts unsatisfied with videoconferencing?A.They get less reward t
