问题     As Internet users become more dependent ono the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
    In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understand that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
    In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location（位置）better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather，they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆) ".
    According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
The passage begins with two question to (          ).
选项 A、introduce the main topic
B、show the author’s attitude
C、describe how to use the Internet
D、explain how to store information
答案A
解析 通读文段的第一、二段可知，作者在第一段提出的两个问题就是下文的实验所要研究的，因此这两个问题的开头就是为了引出文章的主题，文段A项符合。B项是表达作者的态度。C项是解释如何使用网络。D项解释如何存储信息。因此答案选A项。
