Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I feel that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．41．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools42. Which of the following statement about Allie is true?A. He is rich in experience about the bake sales at schoo1.B. He agrees to carry out the bake sales ban at schools.C. He attaches great importance to the school's income.D. He attaches too much importance to students' health.43. According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. Don't belong to the bake salesB. Should't be banned at schoolC. Mustn't be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables44. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales．45. We can infer from the passage that schools in New York always______.A. sell baked food to studentsB. free students to choose foodC. find ways to earn moneyD. offer chances to earn moneyBThe Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water，representing nearly 2％of the world’s total of fresh and salt water.

Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（发起）a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.51．According to Ouyang Ziyuan ________.A．China has founded a base on the moonB．China has founded one base on the North and South PolesC．China will set up a base on the moon inD．China has already finished founding a moon base52．The underlined word “touchdown”in the second paragraph means “________”.

A．China will ask for help from the USSR and the USAB．two countries have set up a space station on the moonC．China has a large population in the worldD．China has its tradition technology and advanced scientists55．We can infer from this passage that .A．China’s robot landing in the moon has been successfulB．the USSR and the USA don’t allow Chinese people to land on the moonC．Chinese scientists show great interest in exploring Mars nowD．it is impossible for the Chinese people to land on the moonDOne day Marilla said, “Anne, your new teacher, Miss Stacy, spoke to me yesterday. She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time. Then if you do well, you can study at Queen’s in Charlottetown for a year, and after that you’ll be a teacher!”“That doesn’t matter, Anne. When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the examination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day.“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.”“It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.”“When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables.“The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.“Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile.“You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was secretly very pleased.For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. Anne needs new dresses to take to Charlottetown.56. Which of the following statements is true?A. To be a teacher was one of Annes’ dreams.B. Both Anne and Diana studied hard for the special examination.C. Matthew and Marilla were Anne’s parents.D. Anne was adopted by Matthew and Marilla.57. Why are Anne and Gilbert enemies? Because _____________.A. they were competitors in schoolB. they didn’t like each otherC. it wasn’t mentioned in the passageD. their parents were enemies58. The paragraph “Oh Marilla! I’d love to be a teacher! But won’t it be very expensive?” shouldbe put between ___________.A. paragraph ③and ④B. paragraph ⑦and ⑧C. paragraph ①and ②D. paragraph ⑨and ⑩59. What will be written in the following paragraph?A. Anne’s summer holiday.B. What will Anne talk about her college life with DianaC. How will Miss Stacy help Anne study.D. What will Anne do before attending college.60. From the passage, we can learn that _____________.A. Miss Stay liked Anne very muchB. when Anne became a teacher, she would have lived in the family for six yearsC. Marilla cried because Anne would leave for ever35.D.

While other kids were outside playing ball, Jim was usually reading. He could be found in one of his favorite places: curled up underneath the kitchen table or up in the tree that grew in his front yard.Jim was born in Demopolis, Alabama, during the time of segregation (隔离). Because Jim was Black, he was not allowed to check out a single book at the public library. Libraries were for whites only. The laws of segregation separated Jim from all the books he longed to read. But Jim was determined. He convinced a teacher at school to lend him books of her own. He even managed to get some public library books through a white woman whom his mom worked for doing laundry.When Jim was a teenager, Black Americans’ struggle for equal rights was becoming the civil rights movement. Many brave people were taking risks by refusing to follow unfair segregation laws. Jim went to Montgomery, Alabama, and joined a civil rights group. The group was headed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jim believed in King’s nonviolent approach to change. Once, during a peaceful march, Jim was arrested. Because of that, his college expelled him.He did graduate from another college. Afterward, he went on to teach school in Harlem, a part of New York City. As a teacher, he had trouble finding books that interested his Black students. So he decided to write his own books about successful Black Americans. Throughhis writing, he met and interviewed many of the people he admired, including Rosa Parks.Today, libraries have more than one hundred books written by Jim Haskins, the boy who loved to read, and today, children of all races can walk through the doors of any public library and find interesting books that inform, entertain, and inspire them.4．What can we learn from the description in paragraph 1?A．Jim Haskins studied harder than other kids.B．Jim Haskins had no interest in playing ball.C．Jim Haskins was enthusiastic about reading.D．Jim Haskins preferred to read under the table.5．What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Dismissed.B．Promoted.C．Praised.D．Monitored. 6．Why was Jim Haskins determined to write his own books?A．To rise to be a famous writer.B．To put an end to segregation.C．To appeal to Black students.D．To introduce the people he admired. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Pathways into the Library B．Anxiety for KnowledgeC．Struggle for Equal Rights D．Protest against SegregationHave you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, “What was I going to do?” If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental block” in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts.A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australiasuggests that it’s not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one location to a significantly different one—it’s the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. “A good example is moving around in a department store,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevator between floors may have no effect on our memory, but moving from the store to the parking lot might cause us to forget something that we need to buy.”Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode.The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you!8．Which of the following would most probably be “doorway effect”?A．You missed a call and forgot to ring back.B．You read a book and forget what it is about.C．You entered the office and forgot what to get.D．You saw a man years ago and forget who he is now.9．What can we learn from the passage?A．All memories are linked in the brain.B．Memories are clearly separated in the brain.C．Not all the memories can be found in the brain.D．Memories are stored in particular sections of the brain.10．What can we infer from Baumann’s research?A．Taking an elevator stimulates new memory.B．Walking through open doors results in memory loss.C．A sudden change of the scene boosts intelligence development.D．An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect.11．What does the author think of “doorway effect”?A．Insignificant.B．Beneficial.C．Influential.D．Damaging.There are many sources of debate on a long road trip, including route selection, the choice of snacks ,and, probably most importantly, what to play on the radio. Finding a way for all parties to listen to their own audio without the need for headphones has been a goal of car makers for decades and scientists may have finally managed it.A team from the University of Le Mans in France carefully positioned microphones, speakers and filters (过滤器) to create personalised sound zones (PSZs) inside a car, and the small regions are where sound from a set of speakers can be heard clearly. Outside these, it can not be heard.One barrier which scientists have previously been unable to overcome was the impact of moving one’s seat. They were able to form a PSZ, but unable to move it to follow a person if they moved the seat forwards or backwards.The French team created a new algorithm (算法) specifically to tackle this issue, which handles the sound waves to create “bright” and “dark” zones in the car. “Loudspeakers are placed in the headrests. and specific filters for each transducer (换能器) are calculated to reproduce a sound signal that maintains. good quality in the zone under consideration and is strongly weakened in other zones.” said Dr Lucas Vindrola, the author of the study. “The key to the technique working properly is having sufficient microphones placed around the car to detect how many people are in the car and where they are sitting. The price to pay is to have control microphones in the passenger section, so that the algorithm can work.”However, the technique is not yet ready to be commercially rolled out as a luxurious optional extra just yet, as it currently works only for a limited range of frequencies. 12．What was once a challenge for scientists?A．PSZs could hardly be formed.B．The sound of moving a seat is loud.C．They couldn’t create movable PSZs.D．The seats couldn’t be moved back and forth.13．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．How the impact of moving one’s seat was addressed.B．Why enough microphones are placed around the car.C．When the algorithm can work well for all passengers.D．Where “bright” and “dark” zones are created in the car.14．What can we infer about the new technique?A．It currently works without limitation.B．It has been put into use commercially.C．It can function well with enough microphones.D．It is costly to detect the position of microphones.15．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To launch a new debate.B．To tackle an old problem.C．To advertise an algorithm.D．To introduce a new technology.二、七选五One Second Every DayI’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. 16 One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. 17 I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. 18 There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”19 On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is.I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. 20 The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.A．It instantly inspired me.B．The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.C．I’m always energetic when doing things I love.D．People might have different interpretations of it.E．It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.F．But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.G．The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.三、完形填空The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind: we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. Some people regard a borrowed bookattitudes are forbidden. Because the book is borrowed, it tolerates no damage which means itThis is huge 25 to one’s imagination.26 , your own books belong to you and you can treat them with so much closeness that you are not afraid to mark it up or to place it in a dirty place. Your own books are there for use, not for 27 . You don’t need to display them in front of others. Private ownership also encourages 28 marking. A good reason for marking instructive passages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to 29 them quickly and then review them more frequently in the future.Given the importance of owned books to a man, everyone should begin collecting a private library, making up his own 30 property. One should have his own bookshelves, which should not be having doors, glass windows, or keys. They should be free and 31 to the hand as well as the eye. Like the jewellery to a woman, the best moral 32 to a man is books. They are more varied in colour and appearance than any wall-paper. Their variety indicates 33 out of brains of different book writers. The knowledge that books are in plain view is also stimulating. Your body and mind are both 34 . With books at hand, your mind is free to land any 35 or even strange possibility, which eventually gives birth to new discoveries or inventions. 21．A．teacher B．guest C．relative D．servant 22．A．Continual B．Usual C．Casual D．Gradual 23．A．suffer B．store C．destroy D．describe24．A．trends B．goals C．definitions D．points 25．A．discipline B．discouragement C．relief D．reminder 26．A．Oppositely B．Fortunately C．Immediately D．Definitely 27．A．benefit B．profit C．show D．excuse 28．A．tough B．secondary C．sufficient D．meaningful 29．A．stick to B．refer to C．devote to D．adapt to 30．A．public B．economic C．intellectual D．imaginary 31．A．familiar B．effective C．flexible D．accessible 32．A．truth B．decoration C．training D．expense 33．A．simplicity B．creativity C．experiment D．life 34．A．conscious B．calm C．wild D．excited 35．A．fresh B．resourceful C．purposeful D．memorable四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

ABritain is arguably the great walking nation. About two-thirds of us already head out to stretch our legs once a week. The following festivals offer a wealth of organized walks, but walkers should register in advance.Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festivalVisitors to Wales tend to move west, to either the well-worn tracks of Snowdonia or the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. There are 25 walks packed into the three days, with various options available, including a half-mile Roman-themed adventure, an eight-mile walk exploring the life of 18th-century Welsh naturalist and travel writer ThomasPennant and a 21-mile Offa’s Dyke challenge. All walks are free. Denbighshire, Wales, 19-21 MayOtley walking festivalThis local festival has grown from humble origins in 2000 into a busy schedule of 50 short-distance walks and events celebrating the lives and landscapes of Wharfedale in West Yorkshire. One might enjoy the Five Pubs Walk, Walking With Wine, Four More Pubs or Lost Pubs of Otley. All walks are free, though there is sometimes a small charge for transport.Otley, West Yorkshire, 24 June-3 JulyDartmoor offroading walking festivalDartmoor delights (使高兴) walkers because, while tracks are there to be followed, the lack of wire and other barriers, and the relatively small number of farm buildings on the higher ground, create a sensation of freedom. The six free wheelchair walks, starting daily at 11am, explore Dartmoor’s industrial history, bronze age valuables and Victorian railway builders.Devon, 27 August-2 SeptemberGower walking festivalWith more superb walking options inside a single landscape than perhaps anywhere else, the Gower peninsula (半岛) sometimes feels as if it’s all coast. The further information for this nine-dayfestival, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Wales Coast Path (WCP), has yet to be finalized. Half of the walks offered during the festival will be on the coastal path, 10 adults, over-sixes 6. Glamorgan 2-10 September1. Which festival is friendly to the disabledA. Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festival.B. Otley walking festival.C. Dartmoor offroading walking festival.D. Gower walking festival.2. What do we know about Gower walking festivalA. It has the most superb walking options.B. Half of the walks last for a whole week.C. It’s aimed to advocate coastal protection.D.The final details remain to be confirmed.3. What do the listed festivals have in commonA. They are offered free of charge.B. They require prior registeration.C. They take advantage of the coast.D. They are physically demanding.BIn this new digital era, farmers are finding ways to evolve with the times while still holding fast to their traditions.In the quiet and excluded parts of rural China, Xiang Qing, a man born in 1990, leads a life quite unlike the bustling (熙熙攘攘的)urban existence that defines modernity. His home is Guzhang county, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture, which is located deep in western Hunan province. Xiang Qing and his 23-year-old nephew, Xiang Hong, jointly operate a video channel called “Shan Bai”. Through their video s, they showcase handicrafts and rural life in China, captivating (迷住) many young urban viewers.“Life here unfolds at its own pace. We cultivate crops and vegetables and occasionally purchase meat at the market,” Xiang Qing said. “I’ve come across numerou s comments from people who watch our videos while lying in bed at night after a busy day of work, finding them truly relaxing and comforting. I think it’s fantastic, and it’s in line with our initial intentions.”Five years ago, Xiang Qing resigned from his job as a customer service representative in Shanghai and returned to his hometown in Guzhang county, embarking on (开始) a new journey as a video blogger. “Back in 2012, when I was a college student, film-making aroused my passion, and it has continued to be a profound and enduring interest,” he said.Following in his uncle’s footsteps, Xiang Hong made the same life-altering decision. Having graduated from college last year, he also returned to his hometown in April from Changde, a city inHunan, and ventured into the world of video production alongside his uncle.Now their video channel Shan Bai has attracted more than 59.8 million followers. Xiang Qing conceptualizes, films, and edits the videos himself. Xiang Hong serves as the video presenter. Long Lingl ing, Xiang Qing’s wife, manages the day-to-day operations of the video account, and other family members also contribute to the video production process in different ways.4. Why do Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong take video bloggers as their careerA. To pursue personal fame and wealth.B. To financially support their whole family.C To continue their passion for film-making.D. To promote the lifestyle in their hometown.5. What can we learn about Xiang Qing and Xiang HongA. Xiang Qing inspires Xiang Hong in career-making.B. They quit their first job and altered to video making.C. They reached a decision of returning to hometown together.D. They engage in each step of the video production process.6. Which of the following can best describe Xiang Qing and Xiang HongA. Devoted and creative.B. Diligent and optimistic.C. Modest and responsible.D. Ambitious and demanding.7. Where is the text most probably taken fromA. A personal diary.B. A news interview.C. A travel brochure.D. A fashion magazine.COn O ctober 20th comes “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the director Martin Scorsese. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long. During the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, some viewers dozed off. Afterwards there was a mad dash (and long queue) for the toilets. When did watching a film become such a laborFilm-makers started producing long-lasting movies at a rapid pace in the early 1960s. Cinema was booming and filmmakers wanted to distinguish their art from television. Epics surpassing the three-and-a-half hour mark graced the silver screen. Back then, audiences enjoyed an interval while the projectionist prepared the reels for the next act. Runtimes of popular films experienced ups and downs over subsequent decades. But they have ballooned since 2018.Movie series is one driver of this trend. Studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property, but they arecompeting with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out blockbuster (大片) will tempt audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), which showcased Marvel superheroes remarkably with a runtime of three hours, achieved the highest box office revenue among all films in that year. Anything that attracts people away from their sofas to see a film in theatres is good news for cinemas. But lengthy runtimes also pose a “fundamental problem”, complains Clare Binns of Picturehouse, a British cinema group and film distributor. Long movies can mean abandoning two showings per night, which hurts ticket sales and profits.Another explanation for longer films has to do with dire ctors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr Nolan to shorten his masterpieces Streamers, which do not have to worry as much about concision because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names with deep pockets and promises of creative freedom. “Killers of the Flower Moon” will debut on AppleTV+ after its theatrical release.8. What can we learn from paragraph 1A. Movie fans tend to have a dislike for long movies.B. Movie theaters should provide adequate restrooms.C. The average movie fan cannot focus for over three hours.D. Long movies affect audience engagement and physical comfort.9. What does the underlined word “ballooned” mean in paragraph 2A. Expanded with air.B. Made great profits.C. Enjoyed great popularityD. Increased rapidly in length.10. Why does the author mention the movie “Avengers: Endgame”A. To demonstrate the trend of longer movies.B. To highlight the success of Marvel series.C. To illustrate the strong appeal of movie series.D To emphasize the studio-streaming platform contest.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA. Movie Marathons: Past and PresentB. Long Movies: Impacts and ReasonsC. Filmmaking: Challenges and RewardsD. Streaming Platforms: Promising and ProfitableDTwo and a half millennia ago, Socrates complained that writing would harm students. With a way to store ideas permanently and externally, they would no longer need to memorize. However, studies today have found that writing on paper can improve everything from recalling a random series of words to betterunderstanding complex concepts.For learning material by repetition, the benefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material. The scribbling (涂鸦) on a page feeds into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class as being at the bottom-left on a page. One of the best-demonstrated advantages of writing by hand seems to be in note-taking. Students typing on computers wrote down almost twice as many words directly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. However, handwriting forces note-takers to process and organize ideas into their own words. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing, resulting in better performance on tests.Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note. Though America’s curriculum from 2010 does not require handwriting instruction past first grade (roughly age six), about half the states since then have required more teaching of it. In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting and printed books and fewer devices. England’s national curriculum already includes the teaching of basic cursive writing (连写体) skills by age seven.However, several school systems in America have gone so far as to ban most laptops. This is too extreme. Some students have disabilities that make handwriting especially hard. Nearly all will eventually need typing skills. Virginia Berninger, professor of psychology at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting. But she is not a purist; she says there are research tested benefits for “manuscript” print-style writing but also for typing.Socrates may or may not have had a point about the downsides of writing. But no one would remember, much less care, if his student Plato had not noted it down for the benefit of future generations.12. According to the text, why does writing on paper have benefits for learningA. It provides visual enjoyment in class.B. It improves the effect of memorization.C. It promotes the motor and sensory ability.D. It helps to remember the information forever.13. How does the author show the emphasis on handwriting instruction at schoolA. By giving examples.B. By providing statistics.C. By making comparisons.D. By making classification.14. What is paragraph 5 mainly aboutA. Difficulties faced by the disabled.B. Unreasonableness of forbidding typing.C. The research-tested benefits of typing.D. The longtime advocacy for handwriting.15. Why does the writer mention Socrates and Plato in the last paragraphA. To thank Plato for his efforts.B.
