In an age dminated by smartphnes, researchers are discvering gradual cgnitive (认知的) decrease linked t ver-dependence n digital tls. A 2023 Cambridge University study fund that frequent users f navigatin apps had the ability t remember lcatins weakened by 23% cmpared t thse wh used traditinal maps. Functinal MRI (磁共振成像) scans shwed less activity in the hippcampus (海马体的) f GPS-dependent individuals when recalling rutes, while thse using traditinal navigatin methds had strnger neural (神经的) cnnectins in memry-related brain areas.
The cgnitive effects g beynd navigatin. A Tky University experiment revealed that language learners using apps with autmatic translatin features scred 15% lwer in natural sentence cnstructin tests than thse wh learned frm textbks. Cgnitive scientist Dr. Eleanr Richards f Oxfrd explains, “Our brains adapt t technlgical shrtcuts by weakening underused neural pathways — similar t hw muscles atrphy (萎缩) withut exercise.”
This realizatin has led t cunter-trends in bth educatin and business. In 2022, German sftware cmpany TechSphere GmbH started “Analg Fridays”, requiring emplyees nt t use digital tls but paper ntebks every Friday. After the plicy, surveys fund that meeting attendance went up by 19%, and emplyees reprted 27% less mental tiredness. CEO Markus Weber says, “We dn’t hate technlgy. But chsing t discnnect n purpse helps us get back ur thinking ability.” Industry reprts shw that by 2023, 12% f new cmpanies in Silicn Valley had similar rules.
Educatinal refrms reflect this shift. The University f Amsterdam nw requires first-year students t take handwritten lecture ntes, with these students scring 14% higher n exams than thse wh used laptps. Statinery brand Mleskine has seen a 40% increase in planner sales since 2021, with 35% f buyers being tech wrkers wh want t be prductive withut using screens.
Neurscientists say we need balanced ways. Dr. Richards suggests “cgnitive zning”: using digital tls t stre data, and keep traditinal methds fr imprtant thinking tasks. As AI is used mre, the key is nt t refuse technlgy, but t create mixed systems that prtect ur basic human thinking abilities.
32. What did the Cambridge University study find abut frequent users f navigatin apps?
A. Decreased hippcampal activity.B. Enhanced memry strage.
C. Imprved rute planning speed.D. Strnger neural cnnectins.
33. The underlined wrd “cunter-trends” in Paragraph 3 refers t actins that ________.
A. prmte the use f digital tls
B. reduce screen time fr cgnitive benefits
C. criticize the limitatins f technlgy
D. study the impact f apps n learning
34. What des “cgnitive zning” recmmend?
A. Cmpletely stpping the use f digital tls.
B. Making digital strage faster and mre effective.
C. Separating tasks and using different methds accrdingly.
D. Cntrlling hw quickly AI is cmbined with ur wrk.
35. What is the authr’s attitude twards digital tls?
A. Critical.B. Supprtive.C. Objective.D. Unfavrable.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明，过度依赖数字工具会削弱认知能力，但完全拒绝技术并非解决方案，关键在于平衡使用传统与数字方法，以保护人类的基础思维能力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Functinal MRI (磁共振成像) scans shwed less activity in the hippcampus (海马体的) f GPS-dependent individuals when recalling rutes (功能性核磁共振扫描显示，依赖GPS的个体在回忆路线时，海马体的活动较少)”可知，剑桥大学的研究发现依赖GPS的用户海马体活动减少。故选A项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。画线词的下文“In 2022, German sftware cmpany TechSphere GmbH started “Analg Fridays”, requiring emplyees nt t use digital tls but paper ntebks every Friday. (2022年，德国软件公司TechSphere GmbH启动了“模拟星期五”，要求员工每周五不使用数字工具，而是使用纸质笔记本)”和“But chsing t discnnect n purpse helps us get back ur thinking ability. (但是故意选择断开连接可以帮助我们恢复思考能力)”提到企业禁止使用数字工具，提倡手写笔记等做法，其目的是恢复思考能力，这些做法与过度依赖数字工具的主流趋势相反，由此可知，画线词意思是“减少屏幕时间以提升认知能力”。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Dr. Richards suggests “cgnitive zning”: using digital tls t stre data, and keep traditinal methds fr imprtant thinking tasks. (Richards博士建议采用“认知分区”：使用数字工具存储数据，并将传统方法用于重要的思考任务)”可知，“认知分区”的方法建议区分任务并采用相应的不同方法。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In an age dminated by smartphnes, researchers are discvering gradual cgnitive (认知的) decrease linked t ver-dependence n digital tls. (在一个以智能手机为主导的时代，研究人员发现，过度依赖数字工具与认知能力逐渐下降有关)”和最后一段中“Dr. Richards suggests “cgnitive zning”: using digital tls t stre data, and keep traditinal methds fr imprtant thinking tasks. As AI is used mre, the key is nt t refuse technlgy, but t create mixed systems that prtect ur basic human thinking abilities. (Richards博士建议采用“认知分区”：使用数字工具存储数据，并将传统方法用于重要的思考任务。随着人工智能应用的增多，关键不在于拒绝技术，而在于创建能够保护人类基本思维能力的混合系统。)”可知，作者既指出过度依赖数字工具的认知危害，也承认其存储数据的便利性，并建议平衡使用传统方法和数字工具，因此他对数字工具的态度是客观的。A. Critical批判的；B. Supprtive支持的；C. Objective客观的；D. Unfavrable反对的。故选C项。
