问题     Despite helping to record events, photos could damage our memories. Researchers found people who take pictures have【C1】________remembering what actually happened. This phenomenon has been named "photo-taking impairment effect".
    From children’s birthdays to that long-awaited family holiday, we all want to remember those【C2】________moments with a photograph.【C3】________if you’re one of those people who can’t stop【C4】________beware then—you could【C5】________forgetting it all in a flash.
    A study has found that taking too many photos may prevent us from forming detailed memories. Researchers from Harvard University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Columbia University in the U.S. recently found that many people now use the Internet【C6】________a memory. They claimed that when someone wants to know something they now use the Internet【C7】________an "external memory" just as computers use an external hard【C8】________The study continued that we are now so【C9】________on smartphones and laptops, we go into "withdrawal when we can’t find out something【C10】________".
    Far from helping us to【C11】________the moment, it could mean we miss what’s going on right in front of our noses. Researchers led a group of students around a museum and asked them to either photograph or try to remember certain works of art and historical【C12】________. The next day, their memory was tested. It showed they were【C13】________at recognizing objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. They were also poorer at【C14】________details of the objects they had taken pictures of.
    Dr Linda Henkel, who conducted the study at Fair field University in Connecticut, said: "People so often【C15】________out their cameras almost mindlessly. When people rely on technology to remember for them, it can have a【C16】________impact on how well they remember their【C17】________."
    Previous studies have suggested that【C18】________old photos can help us remember, but only if we spend long enough doing it. "In order to remember, we have to【C19】________and interact with the photos, rather than just【C20】________them," said Dr Henkel.
【C6】
选项 A、for fear of
B、in terms of
C、in place of
D、in the interests of
答案C
解析 下句指出当人们想知道某些事情时就会用互联网(use the internet)，可见人们把互联网当成了记忆工具，不再用大脑来记忆。C项in place of“代替”指互联网取代了记忆能力。人们使用互联网不是出于对记忆的害怕，A项for fear of“害怕”可排除。B项，in terms of“就……而言”代入本句语义不通。人们使用互联网也不会对记忆产生什么益处，因此D项in the interests of“合乎……利益”也可排除。
