Question

    When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins (页边的空白处) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear 29% more. Besides, doodling can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you’ll have a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn’t matter what the picture looks like. Even if you’re not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

A. advantages B. disadvantages

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。通过一项研究和一位作家的观点，证明了涂鸦对于提高人们的记忆以及帮助人们思考都有积极的影响。

1.推理判断题。由第一段“Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.”第二段“One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear 29% more. Besides, doodling can help you think creatively”第三段“ She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think”可知，许多人认为涂鸦会分散人们对更重要事物的注意力。但可能恰恰相反。一项研究表明，涂鸦可以帮助你记住29%以上听到的东西。此外，涂鸦可以帮助你创造性地思考。此外涂鸦是一种可以帮助人们思考的工具。所以通过短文所阐述的主要观点我们可以判断出短文主要在告诉我们涂鸦的优势。故A选项正确。

2.词义猜测题。由第二段“Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you’ll have a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.”可知，从一个问题中抽身出来画画实际上可能会帮助你解决问题。当你再回到问题上来时，你会有一个全新的视角，更快地找到答案。所以第2段加下划线的“perspective”一词可能的是“观点”的意思。故B选项正确。

3.细节理解题。由第三段“Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement.”可知，Brown 认为涂鸦是有帮助的，因为它包括许多学习方法。你可以通过四种方式学习:看、听、读或者写，以及通过运动。所以 Sunni Brown 对涂鸦的看法是涂鸦包括四种学习方法。故C选项正确。

4.细节理解题。由最后段“ Even if you’re not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!”可知，即使你不是艺术家，涂鸦也可以帮助你。所以下次你需要集中注意力的时候，拿起一支笔，信手涂鸦吧!所以，当你想要集中注意力时，涂鸦对你集中注意力是有帮助的。故A选项正确。

5.推理判断题。通读全文可知，通过一项研究和一位作家的观点，证明了涂鸦对于提高人们得记忆以及帮助人们思考都有积极的影响。所以作者对于涂鸦的观点与我们普遍认为涂鸦会分散人的注意力的观点恰恰截然想法。短文向读者科普的涂鸦的优势具有一定的科学性。所以判断出短文可能来源科学杂志。故D选项正确。
