When Susan was a high school senior, her English teacher Mr. DiMeo gave the class a challenging task: Recite a poem in front of the whole class.“I had a mild stutter (结巴).

They are exhibitions of paintings.D.They depend on modern of technology.B.The digital revolution is both launching us into a no-handwriting future, and also sending us backwards in time to when the spoken words ruled. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.“I don’t think kids should be assessed on their ability to master cursive(草书). It’s not something that they are going to use much in their lives as they grow older. It’s not something most of us adults use in our lives today. 〞 Anne Trubek, an author, suggests that schools offer handwriting or cursive as an elective or art class in the future.“Focus on how to teach kids to express their ideas, how to organize their thoughts, how to make arguments〞 she says. “The forming of the letters are lessimportant. And there are certainly many ways to individualize what you write beyond the way you’ve circled the ‘I’ or crossed your ‘T’.〞“This myth that handwriting is just a motor skill is just plain wrong,〞Virginia Berninger said. “We use motor parts of our brain, motor planning, motor control, but what’s very critical is a region of our brain where the visual and language come together and actually become letters and written words.〞“A lot of people ar e very stubborn about the importance of handwriting, but at the same time will admit they never write themselves,〞 Trubek says.Trubek suggests, however, that handwriting keeps some value–for now. “ For us today, in the 21st century America, handwriting represents something individual and unique about a person. It doesn’t always mean that in previous times in history, and it won’t always mean that in the future, but right now for us we relate our sense of self to our handwriting. 〞5.How does Trubek feel about the handwriting?A. It’s meaningful.B. It’s useless.C.It’s less important.D. It’s only an art.6.Virginia Berninger’s attitude to the use of handwriting is ______.A. favorableB. disapprovingC. doubtfulD. ambiguous7.What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Handwriting reflects the past and the future.B. Handwriting still keeps some value today.C. The computer makes handwriting out of date.D. Handwriting represents previous times in history.8.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce something about handwriting.B. To encourage people to practice handwritingC. To discuss the importance of handwriting.D. To show people’s worry about future.C.Does your local town have a nickname? If so, what does it say about the area and the people who live there? Many cities are recognized across the world by their unofficial titles. New York is the Big Apple, London is the Big Smoke, and Los Angles is famously called La La Land.Now, as part of English Language Day on Wednesday, Britain’s national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey, and the British linguistics charity (语言学慈善机构), the English Project, are launching an interactive project which aims to identify the nicknames people use in their daily lives for local places.“The name that people create for a place forms an emotional connection,〞explains Winchester University’s Professor Bill Lucas, a supporter of the English Project. “So Basingstoke becomes Amazingstoke, Swindon is known as Swindump and Padstow, hometown of Chef Rick Stein, is nicknamed Padstein.〞Basingstoke is a town in central England. The local nickname, Amazingstoke, shows the affection that locals seem to have for the area. Swindon, on the otherhand, is sometimes called Swindump, showing that some people think it’s a dump (垃圾场). Stanford Le Hope in Essex is called Stanford No Hope by locals. And Padstow in Cornwall is so closely connected with the local famous person Rick Stein that it’s become known as Padstein.Since launching the online survey last week, the creators have already received 3,000 alternative titles for places and landmarks.There is a practical side to the project. Glen Hart, Ordnance Survey’s head of research, says the information could be very helpful to the emergency services. For example, “By having the most complete set of nicknames we could help the emergency services quickly locate the right place, and maybe even save lives.〞 he says.9.What’s the passage mainly about?A. Organizations collect official place names.B. People have a great affection for their cities.C. Some stories about nicknames for places.D. A survey of the nickname for places.10.Unlike the town Basingstoke, Swindon is a place that __________.A. seems unpleasant to some peopleB. has a long historyC.has few people living thereD. attracts a lot of tourists11.According to the passage, people’s respond to the project is __________.A. strangeB. opposedC. indifferentD. active12.What does Glen Hart think of the project?A. It has helped prevent deaths from happening.B. It is very helpful to the emergency services.C. It may help increase the number of nicknames.D. It proves that most nicknames are interesting.D.Birds have been observed to sleep while in flight for the first time ever. Because of some flights that can often last several days, weeks, or even longer, some sea birds have long been thought of being able to fall fully asleep while “on the wing〞, though it was not proven.Now researchers say they have evidence which shows birds can sleep in flight. Scientists from Max Planck Institute used a sample of 15 adult female frigatebirds (HY舰鸟) to test the sleep patterns. Each bird had a small electroencephalogram (EEG脑电图) senso r fitted to record changes in the animals’ brain activity as they flew for up to 10 days and over 3,000 kilometres.The readings showed that during flight the birds could sleep using one hemisphere of the brain, or both together. It was known that frigatebirds could sleep with one “half〞 of the brain, which allows them to k eep one eye open and “connected〞 to the awake half.According to the research, it is sleeping technique used by birds for finding directions. “Frigatebirds sleep mostly while circling in rising air and keep the eye connected to the awake hemisphere facing the direction of flight, suggesting that they watch where they are going,〞 says the study.Despite the ability to fall “fully〞 asleep, the birds were found to do it lessin the air compared to one land. They slept “very little and less deeply while in flight. This suggests that though it is possible, falling totally asleep is not very good during flight which will need the bird’s attention.The researchers said the short sleep could be serving as “power naps〞 to keep the birds going until they return to land. Further study could help us understand why lack of sleep affects humans so badly.13.The phrase “on the wing〞 in the first paragraph may mean __________.A. thinking.B. fighting.C.flying.D. sleeping.14.Why did the researchers fit the frigatebirds with EEG sensors?A. To help the birds fly much longer.B. To use the birds to find directions.C. To know animals’ brain activity.D. To get some of the good samples.15.How do the sleeping birds find the directions?A. They have a good sleep before they start flying.B. They pay special attention to the way.C. They keep one eye connected to the awake part.D. They sleep less when they are circling in rising air.第二节〔一共5小题,每一小题2分,满分是10分〕Here are five things you can do to prepare to pass the TOEFL reading section:Read textbooks.

A number of events across the year transform this library into a living social hub by providing creative writing classes, performance groups and craft sessions. Its key aim is to support women, with services teaching literacy, calculations, and handling a range of issues which include poverty, and surviving violence.Sir Duncan Rice Library, AberdeenThe outside of the modern facility is a huge glass structure made of 760 glass panels and 2.200 tons of steel. Sir Duncan Rice is also conscious of its carbon footprint, designed to collect rainwater which is reused to flush its toilets, harvesting power through solar cells on the roof and using timers to control the use of its fluorescent lighting.Wellcome Reading Room, LondonSpend an afternoon studying in the Reading Room of London’s Wellcome Museum and you may just find yourself immersed in literature. With drawing classes and static artistic displays accompanying rows of educational books, it’s an enjoyable spot to visit and revisit. The impressive stairway and desks are allowing you the perfect spot to pause and reflect, whatever your library mission.John Ryland, ManchesterCreated over 100 years ago, it has grown to become the third largest academic library in the UK, home to over a million manuscripts. Modern extensions to the building added since the 2000s create a breath-taking collision of historic and modern architecture. Regular events planned with the whole family in mind make this library one to visit time and time again.1.What do we know about Women’s Library?A.It is a good place for women to escape violence.B.It serves as the only official museum in Glasgow.C.It promotes women’s education and social contact.D.It boasts various events and a long history.2.Where can you attend classes and view exhibitions?A.In Women’s Library.B.In Sir Duncan Rice Library.C.In Wellcome Reading Room.D.In John Ryland Library.3.What do John Ryland Library and Sir Duncan Rice Library have in common?A.Eco-friendly technologies.B.Events intended for family.C.Extensive collection.D.Special architectural design.The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos—all united around a common goal.I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.4.Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma?A.Because the mountain was overcrowded.B.Because his original climbing goal changed.C.Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry.D.Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.5.What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later?A.The influence of Thom Pollard.B.The results of the previous climbing.C.The development of advanced equipment.D.The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.6.What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Relieved my tiredness.B.Showed my respect.C.Expressed my gratitude.D.Proved my determination.7.What message does the passage mainly convey?A.The search for missing adventurers holds great value.B.Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment.C.Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect.D.Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma.A strange sound called “biotwang” was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Trench 10 years ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from.Recorded by microphones deep in the ocean, the unexplained sound — a low, loud moan (哼声) followed by a mechanical echo, like a frog burping (打嗝) in space — thundered through a computer speaker about a decade ago. Confused researchers called it the “biotwang”.“You’ve got this low-frequency portion, like a moan,” says Lauren Harrell, a data scientist at Google Research’s AI for Social Good, adding her own impression of a hearty sigh. “Then youhave the higher-frequency component that sounds, to me, like an outer planet spacecraft — the ‘bip boo, bip boo’ sound.”Confirming which marine animal makes a strange noise isn’t easy, though: it requires a person on a boat to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. “It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a fair amount of luck,” Allen says.An international team headed by Allen, marine biologist from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Harrell conducted a collaborative research in 2020. While surveying whales off the Mariana Islands, Allen and other researchers saw a mysterious species called the Bryde’s whale 10 times. These whales are spread out far across the huge open ocean, so it’s hard for scientists to observe or study them. On nine of the occasions that Bryde’s whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang. “Once, it’s a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance. Nine times, it’s definitely a Bryde’s whale.”After identifying the source, they reviewed years of audio data from underwater hydrophones to find out where this specific whale sound had previously been heard. “Once scientists know where and when these whales travel,” Harrell says, “AI models could connect that data to climate and environmental factors and thus support protection efforts.”The technology isn’t perfect, though. “These algorithms (算法) can only search for a frequency they know,” says Harrell. “The Bryde’s whale vocalizations change over time and between populations. But because the tools are open-source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale language. We seem to be so disconnected from, or simply have no access to this amazing underwater world of sound,” he says. “I think it’s about time that we change that.”8.Why is it difficult to identify the source of biotwang?A.Because years of audio data need to be analyzed.B.Because enough time and a right moment are a must.C.Because researchers lack a knowledge of marine animals.D.Because biotwang alternates with low and high frequency9.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Who solved the biotwang mystery.B.When the Bryde’s whale usually appeared.C.How the source of biotwang was determined.D.Why the Bryde’s whale was difficult to observe.10.What is Harrell’s attitude toward their team’s discovery?A.Ambiguous.B.Objective.C.Unconcerned.D.Disapproving. 11.What can be the suitable title for the passage?A.Mystery of Biotwang Finally SolvedB.AI Algorithms Applied in Biotwang ResearchC.Singer of the Deep Ocean — Bryde’s WhaleD.Protection of the Deep Ocean — A Long Way to Go“It won’t forgive your mistakes,” wrote Valentin Lebedev, an astronaut, in his diary. “Even eating becomes more complicated. You must be careful and rely on sealed containers and specialized utensils to open packages. Spills can be dangerous as food particles or liquids might float into equipment or get into your eyes or nose.” Enough to say the anxiety of an altogether different order in zero gravity.What’s worse, in space, no one can hear you scream about travel delays. When will I get back? Such is the dilemma of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two astronauts who have been stranded (被滞留的) on the International Space Station (ISS) since docking there on June 6, 2024. NASA does not like that word. As one official insisted, “I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space.”Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams arrived at the ISS aboard the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner. What was meant to be an eight-day stay is approaching the three-month mark after their capsule leaked helium (氦) and five of its 28 engines malfunctioned. That has delayed their return, possibly until February 1, 2025. Precisely what happens now depends on whether NASA thinks Starliner is safe — tests are ongoing — or whether they are better off getting a ride home on a flight operated by Boeing’s competitor, SpaceX. A decision should come soon.The next SpaceX Dragon capsule is due to dock at the ISS in September and return to Earth next year. If it is to make room for Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams, it will go up with two crew members instead of its usual four. That would require Starliner to leave the ISS uncrewed. Boeing says this is not currently possible owing to software issues.As it is, the engineering fault is a shame for Boeing and NASA.If crewed Starliner flights are unworkable, that will put paid to NASA’s ambition for competition in the task of ferrying astronauts to the space station and back to Earth. Now SpaceX looks like the only American game in town capable of getting to and from the ISS.Having a mission prolonged unexpectedly, which sometimes happens, means missing out on changes big and small. Sergei Krikalev spent five extra months on the Mir space station when earthlings got distracted by the breaking up of the Soviet Union. He came back to a whole new world in 1992.12.Which of the following best describes Valentin’s feeling in the diary?A.Amused but fragile.B.Uncomfortable and tense.C.Disturbed but magical.D.Restless and tolerant.13.When did Starliner plan to return at first?A.June 6, 2024.B.June 14, 2024.C.September 6, 2024.D.February 1, 2025.14.What do we know about NASA according to the text?A.It should have made massive investment for Starliner.B.It prefers cooperation with Space X instead of Boeing.C.It is giving a test to fix gas leak and an engineering fault.D.It denied the delayed flight in protection of its reputation.15.What does the last paragraph imply?A.A stranded flight caused Soviet Union to break up.B.What’s in store for Butch and Suni remains to be seen.C.Astronauts will see a whole new world when they return.D.Soviet Union’s spacecraft technology was no better than NASA’s.Always the Outsider?One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. 16 I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess whowas left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: No one can make you feel lower without your agreement. 17 These are the lessons I have learned along the way :·Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. 18 It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.·Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). 19 For example, when are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?·Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.· 20 Never forget that while you might be trying to fit in, you should never try to be anybody but yourself.A.Don’t over-think people or situation.B.Don’t charge into friendships, though.C.Start noticing your patterns of mentality.D.If I was asked a question, panic would set in.E.The only person making you feel like an outsider is you.F.The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.G.We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not alone.二、完形填空I’ve been barefoot in London every day since March last year.
