otengineers．(但最重要的是，它是為普通人而不是工程師設計的。)”可知，作者認為這個新設備最突出的優(yōu)點是普通人也可以輕松操作。故選C。8．D標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，文章主要介紹了一款新的即將面市的便攜式海水脫鹽設備，它操作方便，體積雖小但功能強大，普通人也能使用，可以為我們缺水的世界帶來安全可用淡水。由此可知，D項“新的便攜式設備即將使海水可以飲用”符合文章大意，適合作為文章標題。故選D。C(2023·廣東省梅州市高三二模)Artandsciencemayseemlikeoppositethings．Onemeansthecreativeflowofideas,andtheothermeanscold,harddata—somepeoplebelieve．Infact,thetwohavemuchincommon．Now,astudyfindsartcanhelpstudentsrememberbetterwhattheylearnedinscienceclass．MarialeHardiman,aneducationspecialistatJohnsHopkinsUniversity,noticedthatstudentswhousedartintheclassroomlistenedmorecarefully．Theymightaskmorequestions．Theymightvolunteermoreideas．What'smore,studentsseemedtoremembermoreofwhattheyhadbeentaughtwhentheirsciencelessonshadinvolved(涉及)art．Toprovethat,Hardimanteamedupwithsomeresearchersandsixlocalschools．Intheexperiment,theresearchersworkedwithteachersin16fifth-gradeclassrooms．Theyprovidedtraditionalsciencelessonsandart-focusedones．Inatraditionalscienceclass,forexample,studentsmightreadaloudfromabook．Intheart-focusedone,theymightsingtheinformationinstead．Theteamrandomlyassigned(隨機分配)eachofthe350studentstoeitheratraditionalscienceclassroomoranart-focusedone．Studentsthenlearnedscienceusingthatwayforthewholeunit—aboutthreeweeks．Whentheychangedtoanewtopic,theyalsochangedtotheothertypeofclass．Thisway,eachstudenthadbothanart-focusedclassandatraditionalone．Everyunitwastaughtinbothways,todifferentgroupsofstudents．Thisenabledtheresearcherstoseehowstudentsdidinbothtypesofclasses．Theteamfoundthatstudentswhostartedoffintraditionalclassesperformedbetteraftertheymovedintoanart-focusedclass．Butthosewhostartedinanart-focusedclassdidwellevenwhentheywentbacktoatraditionalscienceclass．Thesestudentsappearedtousesomeofthearttechniques(技巧)aftergoingbacktoatraditionalclass．Classroomteachersreportedthatmanystudentscontinuedtosingthesongsthattheylearnedafterfinishingtheunit．“Themorewehearsomething,themoreweretainit，”Hardimansays．“Itsuggeststhattheartsmayhelpstudentsapplycreativewaysoflearningontheirown．”9．WhydidMarialeHardimandothestudy？A．Toprovetheimportanceofartatschool．B．Toknowhowtoencouragestudentstoaskquestions．C．Tofindawaytohelpherstudentslearnbetter．D．Toseeifartmightimprovesciencelearning．10．Whatwerethestudentsrequiredtodointheexperiment？A．Learnthreeunitsintotal．B．Choosewhatthey'dliketolearn．C．Learntwotopicsforthreeweeks．D．Taketwotypesofclasses．11．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“retain”inthelastparagraphmean？A．Remember．
