①When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a book?
②Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break too. That’s why people like audiobooks better.
③But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as *effectively* as we do from paper books? Scientists did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). The result showed that the volunteers remember the same amount (量) of information, whether they listened to it or read it.
④Another study published in the *Journal of Neuroscience* further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.
⑤However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking (处理多个任务). “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, told *The New York Times*.

解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，需针对4道小题分别定位原文信息：第1题查找特定研究的结论，第2题结合语境猜测词义，第3题定位原因句，第4题梳理文章各段落的功能判断结构。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据第④段发表在《Journal of Neuroscience》的研究结果，结合第③段实验结论（两组志愿者记忆信息量相同），可知人们从有声书和纸质书获得的信息一样多，故选C。
2. 第2题：第③段提出问题“do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively as we do from paper books”，结合实验结论（记忆量相同），可推断“effectively”意为“有效地”，故选A。
3. 第3题：根据第⑤段“when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking... you’re not going to learn as well”，可知有人认为读纸质书更好是因为读纸质书能更好专注，故选C。
4. 第4题：文章结构为：①段引出话题（有声书流行，是否和纸质书一样好）；②段说明人们喜欢有声书的原因；③④段通过实验和研究证明两者效果相同；⑤段转折说明有人认为读纸质书更好的原因，对应选项B的结构，故选B。
