may be the worst at doing two things at once，a new research suggests.The findings，based on performances and selfevaluations 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 cant 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 sensationseeking (尋求刺激) or impulsive(沖動) 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 sensationseeking and impulsive behavior，which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.“People multitask not because its going to lead to greater productivity，but because theyre 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 couldnt find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether peoples recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.The findings do suggest，however，why the sensationseekers 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 theyre dangerous.”(2013北京，D)1The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask .Aseek high productivity constantlyBprefer handling different things when getting boredCare more focused when doing many things at a timeDhave the poorest results in doing various things at the same time答案D解析細節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段第三句“And those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things.”及文章第三段第二句“But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test.”可知選D項。2When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research，they .Aassessed the multitasking ability of the studentsBevaluated the academic achievements of the studentsCanalyzed the effects of the participants tricky mental tasksDmeasured the changes of the students understanding ability答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段第二句“They then evaluated the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that.”，可知他們評價學生的多項任務(wù)處理能力，而不是其他能力，故選A項。3According to Sanbonmatsu，people multitask because of their .Alimited power in calculationBinterests in doing things differentlyCinability to concentrate on one taskDimpulsive desire to try new things答案C解析細節(jié)理解題。文章第一段第二句及第四段知人們多項任務(wù)處理是因為他們不能專注于一項任務(wù)，故選C項。4From the last paragraph，we can learn that multitaskers usually .Adrive very skillfullyBgo in for difficult tasksCfail to react quickly to potential dangersDrefuse to explain the reasons for their behavior答案C解析推理判斷題。由文章最后一段第二句“People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.”可知多項任務(wù)處理者們通常對潛在危險不能迅速作出反應(yīng)。故選C項。.任務(wù)型閱讀The New York City Marathon was started by a man named Fred Lebow.It began in 1970 as a small，unimportant race.Only 127 local people ran，and just 55 of them finished.They ran around Central Park four times.Few people watched them run.However，over the years the marathon grew and became more popular.Today people come from all over the world to run in the marathon.Runners must be at least 18 years old.In fact，the oldest runner was an 89yearold man.Recently，more than 27,000 people ran in the New York City Marathon.Large crowds cheered the runners and offered them cold drinks and encouragement.The course of the marathon has changed.Instead of running around Central Park，the runners go through the five districts of New York City：Queens，Brooklyn，Manhattan，the Bronx，and Staten Island.The marathon begins at the base of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island.The runners go across the bridge into Brooklyn.Then they go up through Queens and into the Bronx.The marathon finishes in Central Park in Manhattan.The complete course is 26.2 miles，and takes the best runners less than 3 hours.Although it has changed since 1970，the New York City Marathon is always exciting.Through the years，many unusual events have happened during the marathon.For example，Pat Tuz and John Weibaker got married a few minutes before the race.Then they ran the race with their party members.Some people run the whole race alone.In the fall of 1992，F(xiàn)red Lebow，the founder of the New York City Marathon，slowly ran his last race.He was very ill with cancer，but he did not want to stop running.In October 1994，F(xiàn)red died.However，the New York City Marathon，and all its excitement，will continue for many years to come.The New York C
