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.
【C20】
选项 A、frame
B、accumulate
C、share
D、process
答案B
解析 空格前的rather than提示该动词和前面的interact正好相反，是无益于记忆的，应与文中多提到的拍照动作相关。因此选B项accumulate “积累”，即不停地拍照，却不再看这些照片。A项frame “给……加框”、C项share “分享”，两者均无相关语义线索。D项process“处理”，和photo搭配表示冲洗照片，不符合上下文语义。
