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.
【C2】
选项 A、cherished
B、perished
C、unexpected
D、limited
答案A
解析 空格前的those指代的是句首的children’s birthdays和that long-awaited family holiday，这些对于每个家庭而言都是意义重大的，选A项cherished“珍惜的”。B项perished“消亡的，死亡的”为否定意义，不符合本句语义色彩。这些重要的节日都是有固定日期的。用C项unexpected“意外的”来形容不恰当。D项limited“有限的”主要用于形容大小、数量和程度的有限，强调的是数量少，不能体现这些时刻对家庭的重要意义，感情色彩不对。
