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.
【C13】
选项 A、busier
B、better
C、worse
D、harder
答案C
解析 本段给出另外一个实验的结果，继续证明拍照对记忆形成的不良影响。由下一句的they were also poorer可以推测所需词语与poorer相近，表示否定意义，因此选C项worse。be busy at doing sth.意为“忙着做……”代入后表示“他们更忙于辨认所拍的照片”，前后语义不连贯，也不能表示拍照的不良影响，排除A项。B项better为肯定意义词语，所表达语义与上下文逻辑相反。D项不适用于本句结构，常用于be hard to do sth.。
