18. People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests.

The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted and can’t 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 sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or

imperative (冲动) 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 sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.

“People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re 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 couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.

The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker 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 they’re dangerous.”

48. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask __________.

A. seek high productivity constantly

B. prefer handling different things when getting bored C. are more focused when doing many things at a time

D. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time

49. When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they __________.

A. assessed the multitasking ability of the students

B. evaluated the academic achievements of the students C. analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks D. measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability

50. According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their __________.

A. limited power in calculation

B. interests in doing things differently C. inability to concentrate on one task D. impulsive desire to try new things

51. From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually __________.

A. drive very skillfully B. go in for different tasks

C. fail to react quickly to potential dangers

D. refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior

19. A new device the size of a coffee cup can make drinkable water from dry air using nothing but sunlight. With this device, “you can harvest a glass of water in an hour,” says Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley. “That’s about how much water a person needs a day to survive in the desert.”

Although the current device is just a prototype (原型), the technology could be adopted to supply fresh water to the most remote regions of the globe, such as the Middle East and North Africa.

Similar devices in previous attempts worked only below 50 percent humidity (湿度). They can extract water from the air even at low humidity. However, they either collect water too slowly or require lots of energy.

However, the new device, using a new special material, pulls water from air with as low as 20 percent humidity and successfully avoids both problems. Developed by MIT engineers from an existing material, the special material, called MOF-801, creates a network of very small pores (气孔) that can trap water vapor. At room temperature, water vapor collects in the pores. As temperatures rise, the water escapes into the box

designed for water collection.

When the device is left in the shade, the layer of MOF-801 collects water vapor from the air. When moved into direct sunlight, the layer heats up and the water vapor escapes into a box, which cools the vapor, making it into drinkable water. This entire process takes around two hours.

Laboratory tests of the device harvested 2.8 liters of water per day. Therefore, the device could be used us a personal water source in dry regions, Yaghi says, or the techonology could be used to produce enough water for a whole community.

13. The new device is invented to according to Yaghi. A. provide solar enegy B. make the desert hospitable C. make water from air D. measure humidity

14. What helps the device avoid the problems of previous attempts? A. A new material called MOF-801. B. Large pores which can trap water. C. The box cooling water vapor. D. The layer powered by the sun.

15. Which is the right order of how the device works? a. Collect vapor from the air. b. The device is left in the shade. c. The device is moved in the sunlight. d. Cool the vapor into drinkable water. A. a→b→c→d B. b→a→c→d

C. c→a→b→d D. a→c→b→d

13. C 14. A 15. B

本文介绍了一种可以从干燥的空气中制造出可饮用的书的装置。以及它的应用原理。

13. C细节理解题。根据第一段A new device the size of a coffee cup can make drinkable water from dry air using nothing but sunlight.一种咖啡杯大小的新装置，可以利用阳光，从干燥的空气中制造出可饮用的水。故选C。

14. A细节理解题。根据第四段However, the new device, using a new special material, pulls water from air with as low as 20 percent humidity and successfully avoids both problems. Developed by MIT engineers from an existing material, the special material, called MOF-801, creates a network of very small pores (气孔) that can trap water vapor可知，从现有材料，由麻省理工学院开发的工程师的特殊材料被称为MOF-801成功避免了这两个问题。故选A。

15. B细节理解题。根据第五段When the device is left in the shade, the layer of MOF-801 collects water

vapor from the air. When moved into direct sunlight, the layer heats up and the water vapor escapes into a box, which cools the vapor, making it into drinkable water可知这一装置的使用过程是：当设备被留在阴凉处时，mf-801层会从空气中收集水蒸气。当进入阳光直射的时候，层就会变热，水蒸气会逸散到一个盒子里，这样就可以冷却蒸汽，使之变成饮用水。可知B顺序正确，故选B。
