Reading Passage (Questions 44–50)
As the Internet has become more and more popular, we may be reading a great deal more than we used to. However, the way we are reading materials on the Internet, or online reading, is very different from the way we traditionally read printed materials.
In the traditional way of reading, we would start at the beginning of a book and read through to the end. In online reading, in contrast, we start reading a page, but may never finish it because a link on that page leads us to a passage on a different page, and so on. As we go from one page to another, we have to remember lots of different ideas at the same time. This new way of reading is quite different from the traditional one.
There are both advantages and disadvantages of online reading. In online reading, the brain gets better than ever at doing many tasks at the same time, or multitasking; and thanks to this, we can work quickly and think creatively. Multitasking is useful in certain working environments, but it also makes it more difficult for us to read at a deep level. We are, therefore, much less likely to analyse what we read in a [passage truncated at this point on supplied page 4; continuation not supplied in question pages]

Hướng dẫn giải chi tiết
Kiến thức: Đọc hiểu suy luận. Điều nào sau đây có thể được suy ra từ đoạn văn? Thông tin: "There are both advantages and disadvantages of online reading. In online reading, the brain gets better than ever at doing many tasks at the same time, or multitasking; and thanks to this, we can work quickly and think creatively. Multitasking is useful in certain working environments, but it also makes it more difficult for us to read at a deep level. We are, therefore, much less likely to analyse what we read in a critical way, or gain any real insight into the contents we are reading. This might lead to a future when a whole new generation lacks the ability to think critically and deeply about what they are reading." Tạm dịch: Có cả lợi thế và bất lợi của việc đọc trực tuyến. Khi đọc trực tuyến, não bộ trở nên tốt hơn bao giờ hết khi thực hiện nhiều nhiệm vụ cùng lúc, hoặc đa nhiệm; và nhờ đó, chúng ta có thể làm việc nhanh chóng và suy nghĩ sáng tạo. Đa nhiệm rất hữu ích trong một số môi trường làm việc nhất định, nhưng nó cũng khiến chúng ta khó đọc hơn ở mức độ sâu. Do đó, chúng ta ít có khả năng phân tích những gì chúng ta đọc theo cách phản biện hoặc có được bất kỳ cái nhìn sâu sắc thực sự nào về nội dung chúng ta đang đọc. Điều này có thể dẫn đến một tương lai khi một thế hệ hoàn toàn mới thiếu khả năng suy nghĩ chín chắn và sâu sắc về những gì họ đang đọc. Choose B.
