A
I went to see my college counselor(指导老师) in my first year
at college．I had been told I couldn’t transfer(转学) until I
met with him．I’d decided to change my school, my major, and
go west．I knew where I wanted to go and what I wanted at this
point．
I was going to transfer to what had been my first－choice school．Now I could
go to it with a college semester of straight as in a very good program．Yes, I’d
done well at my school, but I found it really unsuitable for me．
The counselor shook his head at me．He didn’t even know me, and he hardly listened
or cared．He said I’d feel lost with a school of over 27，000 students．Well, I wanted
to say I felt pretty lost and alone here, at his little school, but I didn’t want
to be rude．
I couldn’t get a word in, anyway．“And you want to go to law school，” he said
in a mocking(嘲笑的) tone! He told me I’d be just another unneeded lawyer out in
the world．In two minutes, he seemed to lay out my entire life path just because I
had the realization that I picked the wrong college．I was trying to make a change
to do the best thing for me．
I transferred anyway and I can say I did it right．Teens and parents shouldn’
t feel the original big college decision is the end－all, be－all of life．You can
always admit you have made a mistake and want to make a change．

Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good
thing that they can only concentrate for nine seconds！But
according to a new research, humans are becoming like
- 1 -

goldfish．Our attention span(时长) is getting shorter．．．and it’s all because of
technology．
“We move quickly from one site to another on the web，” says Doctor Ted Selker,
a computer scientist from Massachusetts，“and we are losing the ability to
concentrate．” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the
average Internet user is just seconds．There are other digital distractions(分心)
too：e?mail, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites．
Some people are worried about the effect on young people．“You need time to
understand and think about what you read，”says Julia Wood, from London．“Young people
search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but
there is no time to make sense of it．I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more
books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer．”
Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’
concentration．Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she
started playing Mozart during her science lessons．She says that it had an amazing
effect，“The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better．”
But not everyone believes that there is a problem．Ray Cole, an educational
psychologist says，“On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what
is and isn’t worth reading．They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly,
before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully．In a world with
so much information available, this is an important skill．”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。随着科技的发展，人们将大量时间花在浏览网站上，
快速不断地浏览使人们的注意力 时长越来越短；但是有人认为，浏览网站，可以提高年轻人
的判断能力。
5．Why does the writer mention “goldfish”？
A．To analyze data．
B．To introduce a topic．
C．To settle problems．

B 解析：推理判断题。文章第一段第一句说金鱼只能集中九秒钟的注意力；结合第一段
的第二句But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish．可知，
人们正变得像金鱼一样；接着文章提出中心论点：由于技术发展， 我们的注意力时长变得越
来越短。据此可以判断，作者用金鱼的例子是为了引出文章主题，故B项正确。
6．What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr．Ted Selker?
- 1 -

A．Skipping around the Internet．
B．Time to digest information．
C．Traditional methods of reading．
D．Making decisions．
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的We move quickly from one site to another on
the web及and we are losing the ability to concentrate可知，Ted Selker认为，由于
人们快速浏览网站，人们正在丧失集中注意力的能力，故A项正确。
7．What will help students overcome a short attention span?
A．Receiving emails．
B．Texting messages．
C．Reading more books．
D．Watching quickie movies．
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的最后一句I am trying to persuade my pupils to
read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer．可知，阅读更
多的书将有助于学生克服注意力集中时间短的问题，故C项正确。
8．What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly?
A．Cautious．
C．Skeptical．
B．Unfavorable．
D．Supportive．
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的But not everyone believes that there is a
problem．及On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and
isn’t worth reading．可知，Ray Cole认为年轻人快速浏览网站可以提高快速判断的能力；
据此可判断，Ray Cole对快速浏览网站持支持态度，故D项正确。
