Thailand’s four train journeys
If you’re not in a rush, you can take trains to travel around Thailand. Here are the four best train journeys in the country.
Mahachai Line
Start: Thonburi; End: Samut Songkhram
Start at Thonburi’s Wongwian Yai train station, just across the Chao Phraya River from Bangkok. From the window, you can see homes, temples, shops, palm trees and rice fields. The farmland disappears as you enter Samut Sakhon. After getting off and walking through a busy fresh market, you’ll reach a harbor (港口).
Death Railway
Start: Thonburi; End: Nam Tok
Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line. A total of 688 bridges were built along the route (路线). The trains that run the Death Railway are 3rd-class, meaning they have no air-conditioners and mostly wooden benches. It’s a tourist line, so there’re stops for short visits to historical sites and a cave.
Beach Train
Start: Bangkok; End: Hua Hin
This route skirts around the Gulf of Thailand. Your destination, Hua Hin, is Thailand’s original beach resort (旅游胜地). The central attraction of the route is Hua Hin’s red-and-white train station, which was built in 1926. The train is largely responsible for Hua Hin’s wealth; therefore, the station is a major source of pride.
Train to Laos
Start: Bangkok; End: Thanaleng
Starting from Bangkok in the afternoon, this route crosses the Mekong River into Laos. In the morning, with warm sunlight streaming into your bed, you’ll pass by the tiny villages and seemingly endless rice fields. After a stop in Nong Khai, you’ll cross the so-called Friendship Bridge to Laos.
1. What can be learned about Mahachai Line?
A. Its destination is a busy fresh market.
B. It is the shortest tourist line in Thailand.
C. It provides you with good views along the line.
D. Its starting station is a popular tourist attraction.
2. What do Death Railway and Beach Train have in common?
A. They allow you to enjoy sea views.
B. They can give you a sense of history.
C. They make you experience the local life.
D. They stop for a few moments at historical sites.
3. Which is the destination for Train to Laos?
A. Bangkok. B. Nong Khai. C. Hua Hin. D. Thanaleng.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了泰国的四条火车旅行路线。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Mahachai Line部分“From the window, you can see homes, temples, shops, trees and rice fields(从窗户,你可以看到家园、寺庙、商店、树木和稻田)”可知,透过车窗,你可以看到Mahachai Line沿线的人家、寺庙、商店、树木和稻田等各种各样的景色。由此可知, Mahachai Line会让你在沿途将各种美景尽收眼底。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Death Railway部分“Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line(建于20世纪40年代的死亡铁路是泰国最著名的历史火车线路)”和“there’re stops for short visits to historical sites(沿途有多个站点可以短暂停留参观历史遗迹)”以及Beach Train部分中的“The central attraction of the route is Hua Hin’s red-and-white train station, which was built in 1926(路线的中心景点是华欣的红白火车站,该站建于1926年)”可知, Death Railway是泰国最具有历史意义的铁路线,而Beach Train这条路线的最重要的景点是一座历史悠久的火车站。由此可知,这两条路线都可以让你感受历史文化。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Train to Laos部分中的“End: Thanaleng(终点站:塔纳楞)”可知,Train to Laos这条路线的终点站是Thanaleng。故选B。
B
DJ Strickland, 13, is the creator of “Tech Boy”, his very own comic (连环画册) book, in response to the lack of diversity (多样性) he noticed while reading his favorite comic books. DJ likes the Marvel and the comic book creator Stan Lee. However, he was unhappy with the representation of superheroes in the books he read, so he decided to write his own comic. “I used to believe that you had to be at a certain age, like an adult, to go and follow your dreams and do the things that you really wanted to do,” he said. “But now I know that’s really not true.”
“In the book, Tech Boy is made by a great scientist,” DJ said. “His superpower is to control technology to beat the bad guys who stand against him.” DJ said there’s a lot of himself in the character. “He looks just like me, and I’m also into technology. The character was almost directly inspired by myself.”
DJ did have some challenges to deal with in bringing “Tech Boy” to life. He said he met some bad guys at that time, which caused a bad effect on him. But his mother often told him the two of them needed to continue to keep the lines of communication open. “When you start noticing behavior changes, talk to your kids,” she said. “DJ and I are very open. We talk to each other about everything.”
DJ is still hard at work now, too. He’s created Team Tech Boy LLC, which has sold hundreds of copies of the comic, while also giving some away to students. When “Tech Boy” was finally published, DJ was pleased to see his effort pay off. “It was incredible to know that was my creation. I did it; it was finally there,” he said.
4. What directly caused DJ to create “Tech Boy”?
A. His parents’ support.
B His hobby of painting.
C. His admiration for Stan Lee.
D. His dislike of the present comics.
5. Why did DJ choose technology as Tech Boy’s superpower?
A. To reflect his personal interest.
B. To attract readers’ interest in technology.
C. To offer a popular image in his story.
D. To make Tech Boy connected to modern times.
6 What does DJ’s mother think is the key to dealing with DJ’s challenges?
A. Keeping an eye on his every move.
B. Having a heart-to-heart talk with him.
C. Giving him space without pushing him.
D. Developing his sense of self-improvement.
7. How does DJ sound after the publication of “Tech Boy”?
A. Care-free. B. Well-informed. C. Content. D. Confident.
【答案】4 D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了十三岁的DJ Strickland因为不喜欢漫画书中的超级英雄形象,而出版了自己的漫画书的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“in response to the lack of diversity he noticed while reading his favorite comic books(为了应对他在阅读他最喜欢的漫画书时注意到的缺乏多样性)”和“he was unhappy with the representation of superheroes in the books he read, so he decided to write his own comic(他对自己读到的书中超级英雄的形象感到不满,所以他决定自己写漫画)”可知,DJ Strickland在阅读最喜欢的漫画书的时候发现它们缺乏多样性,他对漫画书中的超级英雄形象不满,于是决定创作自己的漫画书。由此可知,是对现有的漫画书的不满直接导致了他创作Tech Boy。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘He looks just like me, and I’m also into technology. The character was almost directly inspired by myself.’(他和我长得很像,我也很喜欢科技。这个角色几乎直接受到了我的启发。)”可知,Tech Boy这个角色的创作灵感几乎直接来自DJ他自己。由此可知,他选择科技作为Tech Boy的超能力是为了反映他的个人兴趣。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But his mother often told him the two of them needed to continue to keep the lines of communication open. ‘When you start noticing behavior changes, talk to your kids,’ she said. ‘DJ and I are very open. We talk to each other about everything.’(但他的母亲经常告诉他,他们两个需要继续保持沟通渠道的畅通她说,当你开始注意到行为的变化时,就和你的孩子谈谈我和DJ都很开放。我们互相谈论每件事。)”可知,DJ的母亲经常告诉DJ他们俩需要继续保持沟通渠道的畅通,她觉得当家长开始注意到孩子的行为变化时,要和他们谈心。由此可知,她认为应对DJ遇到的挑战的关键是与DJ敞开心扉进行交流。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When ‘Tech Boy’ was finally published, DJ was pleased to see his effort pay off. ‘It was incredible to know that was my creation. I did it; it was finally there,’ he said.(当《科技男孩》最终出版时,DJ很高兴看到自己的努力得到了回报。我做到了;他说,它终于到了。)”可知, DJ很高兴看到自己的努力有了成效,他没有想到自己创作的漫画书居然成功了。由此可推断出,DJ的漫画书出版后,他感到很满足。故选C。
C
Dog owners know that their dogs understand and answer orders such as “sit” and “stay”. Many believe that dogs also understand words connected to their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that.
A new study in Hungary has found that beyond being able to answer orders like “roll over”, dogs can learn to colligate words with exact objects. This is a relationship with language called referential understanding that has been unproven in dogs.
The study involved 18 dogs and a medical procedure using electrodes (电极) attached to dogs’ heads to measure brain activity and record brainwaves. Dog owners taking part in the study would play an audio clip (音频片段) in which they said the name of their dog’s toy — like “ball” or “frisbee” — and then they would show the dog an object. The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity when the object in the recording matched the object that was displayed and also when it differed. The study found a different brain pattern when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not. The finding suggests the animals created a mental image of an object based on hearing the word for it.
Lill a Magyari, a co-lead writer of the study, said that while other animals have been shown to have some degree of referential understanding of language, those animals have usually been highly trained to do so. “In dogs,” she said, “the findings show that such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent.” “The study supports ideas about language evolution (发展) which say that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans,” added Magyari.
Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. But whether dogs gain the ability to understand referential language during that evolution remains unclear.
8. What does the underlined word “colligate” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Compare. B. Connect. C. Exchange. D. Mix.
9. What did dog owners do in the study?
A. They recorded their dog’s brainwaves. B. They measured their dog’s brain activity.
C. They played the well-prepared recordings. D. They called out their dog’s name repeatedly.
10. Which statement does Magyari probably agree with?
A. Dogs may be smarter than imagined.
B. Dogs are the cleverest of all animals.
C. All animals have referential understanding.
D. Referential understanding is unique to humans.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Dogs Can Answer Specific Orders
B Dogs Have Proven to Be Closest to Humans
C. Why Can Dogs Follow Our Orders?
D. How Well Does Your Dog Understand You?
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。匈牙利的一项新研究发现,狗可能跟人一样,能在脑海中勾勒出听到的物体的形象。科学家们通过测量狗的大脑活动,探索了它们是如何学习语言的。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Many believe that dogs also understand words connected to their favorite objects.(许多人认为,狗也能理解与它们喜欢的物体有关的单词。) ”和画线词前的“beyond being able to answer orders like “roll over”(除了能够回答诸如“翻车”之类的命令之外)”可知,一项新的研究发现,狗除了可以回应指令,还能学着把词语和对应的物品联系起来。由此可知,colligate意为“联系;联结”,connect与其同义。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Dog owners taking part in the study would play an audio clip in which they said the name of their dog’s toy —like “ball” or “frisbee”—and then they would show the dog an object.(参与这项研究的狗主人会播放一段音频片段,在其中他们说出狗玩具的名字——比如“球”或“飞盘”——然后他们会给狗看一个物体。) ”可知,狗的主人会播放一段录音,在里面他们会读出狗喜欢的玩具名称。由此可知,在研究中,狗的主人会播放准备好的录音。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“while other animals have been shown to have some degree of referential understanding of language, those animals have usually been highly trained to do so. “In dogs,” she said, “the findings show that such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent.(虽然其他动物已经被证明对语言有一定程度的参考理解,但这些动物通常都经过了高度训练。“在狗身上,”她说,“研究结果表明,这种能力似乎是天生的,不需要特殊的训练或天赋。”) ”可知,那些在一定程度上可以理解语言指令的动物都是受过特殊训练的,而狗的这种能力似乎是天生的。由此可推断出,Magyari认为狗可能比我们想象的还要聪明。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文介绍了一项关于狗的最新研究发现:狗可能跟人一样,能在脑海中勾勒出听到的物体的形象,这意味着,狗可能真的能够“听懂”人类说的话,并将词语与实际的物品联系起来。不过这些研究发现目前还尚未被完全证明。由此可归纳出,D项(你的狗有多能理解你说的话呢?)最适合作为本文的标题。故选D。
D
Writing things out by hand might seem boring and slow. But handwriting can increase links (联系) across brain regions. That includes some with roles in learning and memory. The new finding adds to growing evidence of handwriting’s benefits.
Scientists researched on the brain activity of college students who wrote by hand or typed words. Compared with when they typed, more of the students’ brain regions worked together when students wrote hurriedly with a pen. This condition also showed up in brainwaves — patterns of electrical activity — that have been linked with forming memories. That might mean writing notes by hand could improve memory of the material for a test, for instance.
Previous research had shown that handwriting improves spelling and the ability to remember what you’ve learned. Handwriting also strengthens the understanding of concepts (概念). Scientists think that the slow process of tracing (描摹) out letters and words gives people more time to process material and learn it.
This new study indicates why handwriting seems so good for memory. “There is a key difference in brain organization for handwriting, when compared with typing,” says Ramesh, a scientist who works at the University of California, Merced. With handwriting, the researchers expected to see an increase of brain activity in areas linked to movement. But they also saw an improvement in certain waves related to learning and memory. And when students wrote by hand, interesting connections appeared.
Handwriting may aid learning. But typing is often easier, faster and more practical. So students and teachers alike should decide, based on the task, whether to write it out or type. For example, using handwriting to take notes might help you hang on to information, while typing an essay could help you get ideas down to the page faster, before you forget them.
Though more work is needed to find the best strategy for learning, handwriting has shown its value. So it shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more handwriting into course design,” Ramesh says. Some places are even creating laws that would make students handwrite more.
12. What does the new study find about handwriting?
A. It can strengthen one’s spelling ability. B. It can help throw light on concepts.
C. It can help master what you’ve learned. D. It can improve learning and memory.
13. How can handwriting benefit us?
A. By separating our brain regions. B. By adding pressure to our brain.
C. By promoting our brain activity. D. By connecting our hands with the brain.
14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Respective benefits of handwriting and typing.
B. Positive effects handwriting has on learning.
C. Advantages and disadvantages of handwriting.
D. Advantages that typing has over handwriting.
15. What’s Ramesh’s attitude toward handwriting in schools?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现,与用键盘打字相比,手写可以促进大脑的不同区域之间的联系,从而有助于学习和记忆。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But handwriting can increase links across brain regions. That includes some with roles in learning and memory.”(但是手写可以增加大脑区域之间的联系。这包括一些在学习和记忆中起作用的。)和第四段中的“But they also saw an improvement in certain waves related to learning and memory.”(但他们也看到了与学习和记忆有关的某些脑电波的改善。)可知,手写可以促进大脑不同区域间的联系,从而有助于学习和记忆。由此可知,最新研究发现,手写有助于我们的学习和记忆。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But handwriting can increase links(联系) across brain regions.”(但是手写可以增加大脑区域之间的联系。)以及第二段中的“Compared with when they typed, more of the students’ brain regions worked together when students wrote hurriedly with a pen.”(与打字时相比,当学生匆忙用笔写字时,更多的大脑区域协同工作。)和第四段中的“With handwriting, the researchers expected to see an increase of brain activity in areas linked to movement.”(通过书写,研究人员期望看到与运动相关区域的大脑活动增加。)可知,在使用笔书写时,大脑不同区域间的联系会增多,与运动相关的大脑活动会增加,并且与学习和记忆相关的某些脑活动也会有提升。由此可推断出,手写是通过加强我们的大脑活动从而提高我们的学习和记忆。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Handwriting may aid learning. But typing is often easier, faster and more practical. So students and teachers alike should decide, based on the task, whether to write it out or type. For example, using handwriting to take notes might help you hang on to information, while typing an essay could help you get ideas down to the page faster, before you forget them.”(手写有助于学习。但打字通常更容易、更快、更实用。因此,学生和老师都应该根据任务来决定是写出来还是打出来。例如,用手写做笔记可以帮助你记住信息,而打字可以帮助你在忘记之前更快地把想法写在纸上。)可知,本段主要介绍了手写和打字两种方式各自的优点。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though more work is needed to find the best strategy for learning, handwriting has shown its value. So it shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more handwriting into course design,” Ramesh says. Some places are even creating laws that would make students handwrite more.”(虽然要找到最好的学习策略还需要做更多的工作,但手写已经显示出了它的价值。因此,它不应该在数字时代落后。拉梅什表示:“学校需要在课程设计中引入更多的手写内容。”一些地方甚至制定法律,要求学生更多地手写。)可知,拉梅什建议学校需要在课程设计中引入更多手写内容。由此可推断出,他对手写是支持的态度。故选B。

A learning log(日志) is an educational tool designed to improve children’s learning experience. ____16____ It can be applied by homeschoolers and other students accepting non-traditional education as well.
A learning log can be used in a variety of ways. For example, students might be asked to take five minutes at the end of the class to write in their learning logs about what they learned.____17____ Learning logs can also be used for taking notes, or for responding to reading, classroom learning, and other forms of input.
Teachers and students can work together with a learning log to set clear goals and to record the processes used to achieve those goals. For example, at the beginning of the term, a student might sit down with a teacher and produce a list of topics which he or she should be familiar with by the end of the term. Learning logs can also be used to record out-of-class experiences. ____18____
Teachers may regularly check a student’s learning log to see areas where the student may need improvement. For example, a student struggling in a science class might not be frank about the issue. ____19____ Recording this issue would allow the teacher to customize a response to the student to help him or her improve.
____20____ Some learning logs include the recording of homework lists, which parents can use to monitor(监督) their children and make sure that they’re doing all of their homework. And parents can find whether their kids have any problems related to study. If they do have some, they can take measures to help them in time.
A. It can be used in common school environments.
B. Parents can find learning logs are really helpful.
C. The log-keeper can clearly see how he or she has progressed.
D. Students take part in a school project and record it in a learning log.
E. This provides an opportunity for students to organize their thoughts.
F. But the learning log could show that the student was failing to master some concepts.
G. Students can use them to record learning experiences which occur beyond the schoolyard.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. B

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was shy when I was ten, and most of the time I was afraid of talking to people around. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was crowded, hot and smelly. The windows were all rolled up — the bus driver’s orders — it was simply raining too hard to have them down. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one.
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to clear. As I sat quietly, I saw a very small and thin cat across the street- on the other side of the road. Poor cat, I thought. He was all wet and didn’t seem to know where to go to get out of the rain. I wanted to go to get the cat, but I knew that the bus driver, Mrs Foster, would never allow me to get off the bus. It was against the rules to even stand up, so I knew that I would be in big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street.
My window became unclear again, and when I wiped (擦) the window clear, I could see that the cat was now struggling in what seemed to be a rushing, dirty river. He swallowed (吞) water and took quick deep breaths as he fought the current with all of his strength.
My heart was racing. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I felt like I was drowning (淹死) along with the little cat. I wanted to rush off the bus without asking permission, pull the cat from the water, and cover him with my warm jacket. But I also pictured getting into trouble before the cat could be saved. And I imagined the other kids would laugh at me.
The bus began to move forward, and the traffic was finally moving. The cat’s eyes locked onto mine. He was begging for help. I looked around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. The weight of hopelessness surrounded me.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I couldn’t sit there, seeing him dying.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mrs Foster came back and handed me the poor little cat.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I couldn’t sit there, seeing him dying. There was no room for shyness and fear. I stood up, directly disobeying the bus driver. “Mrs Foster!” I cried. “There’s a cat in the water. If we don’t help him, he’ll drown.” I held out a shaking hand and pointed. The bus driver, to my amazement, did not shout at me. Nor did the other kids laugh at me. Instead, Mrs Foster pulled the bus into the side of the busy road. She told everyone on board the bus to remain seated and then rushed out into the traffic and rain.
Mrs Foster came back and handed me the poor little cat. He was trembling with cold and fear. I tried to dry him up. “I’ll help you,” the girl sitting in the front seat whispered to me. “Me too,” came another voice, then another and another. Together, we kept the poor little thing warm and dry. During the course, I was forced to talk to my classmates. From that day on, to my surprise, I slowly gained more confidence in myself and made friends with some of the kids who had helped me. By helping a cat, I totally changed and was not that shy like before.

Thailand’s four train journeys
If you’re not in a rush, you can take trains to travel around Thailand. Here are the four best train journeys in the country.
Mahachai Line
Start: Thonburi; End: Samut Songkhram
Start at Thonburi’s Wongwian Yai train station, just across the Chao Phraya River from Bangkok. From the window, you can see homes, temples, shops, palm trees and rice fields. The farmland disappears as you enter Samut Sakhon. After getting off and walking through a busy fresh market, you’ll reach a harbor (港口).
Death Railway
Start: Thonburi; End: Nam Tok
Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line. A total of 688 bridges were built along the route (路线). The trains that run the Death Railway are 3rd-class, meaning they have no air-conditioners and mostly wooden benches. It’s a tourist line, so there’re stops for short visits to historical sites and a cave.
Beach Train
Start: Bangkok; End: Hua Hin
This route skirts around the Gulf of Thailand. Your destination, Hua Hin, is Thailand’s original beach resort (旅游胜地). The central attraction of the route is Hua Hin’s red-and-white train station, which was built in 1926. The train is largely responsible for Hua Hin’s wealth; therefore, the station is a major source of pride.
Train to Laos
Start: Bangkok; End: Thanaleng
Starting from Bangkok in the afternoon, this route crosses the Mekong River into Laos. In the morning, with warm sunlight streaming into your bed, you’ll pass by the tiny villages and seemingly endless rice fields. After a stop in Nong Khai, you’ll cross the so-called Friendship Bridge to Laos.
1. What can be learned about Mahachai Line?
A. Its destination is a busy fresh market.
B. It is the shortest tourist line in Thailand.
C. It provides you with good views along the line.
D. Its starting station is a popular tourist attraction.
2. What do Death Railway and Beach Train have in common?
A. They allow you to enjoy sea views.
B. They can give you a sense of history.
C. They make you experience the local life.
D. They stop for a few moments at historical sites.
3. Which is the destination for Train to Laos?
A. Bangkok. B. Nong Khai. C. Hua Hin. D. Thanaleng.

DJ Strickland, 13, is the creator of “Tech Boy”, his very own comic (连环画册) book, in response to the lack of diversity (多样性) he noticed while reading his favorite comic books. DJ likes the Marvel and the comic book creator Stan Lee. However, he was unhappy with the representation of superheroes in the books he read, so he decided to write his own comic. “I used to believe that you had to be at a certain age, like an adult, to go and follow your dreams and do the things that you really wanted to do,” he said. “But now I know that’s really not true.”
“In the book, Tech Boy is made by a great scientist,” DJ said. “His superpower is to control technology to beat the bad guys who stand against him.” DJ said there’s a lot of himself in the character. “He looks just like me, and I’m also into technology. The character was almost directly inspired by myself.”
DJ did have some challenges to deal with in bringing “Tech Boy” to life. He said he met some bad guys at that time, which caused a bad effect on him. But his mother often told him the two of them needed to continue to keep the lines of communication open. “When you start noticing behavior changes, talk to your kids,” she said. “DJ and I are very open. We talk to each other about everything.”
DJ is still hard at work now, too. He’s created Team Tech Boy LLC, which has sold hundreds of copies of the comic, while also giving some away to students. When “Tech Boy” was finally published, DJ was pleased to see his effort pay off. “It was incredible to know that was my creation. I did it; it was finally there,” he said.
4. What directly caused DJ to create “Tech Boy”?
A. His parents’ support.
B. His hobby of painting.
C. His admiration for Stan Lee.
D. His dislike of the present comics.
5. Why did DJ choose technology as Tech Boy’s superpower?
A. To reflect his personal interest.
B. To attract readers’ interest in technology.
C. To offer a popular image in his story.
D. To make Tech Boy connected to modern times.
6. What does DJ’s mother think is the key to dealing with DJ’s challenges?
A. Keeping an eye on his every move.
B. Having a heart-to-heart talk with him.
C. Giving him space without pushing him.
D. Developing his sense of self-improvement.
7. How does DJ sound after the publication of “Tech Boy”?
A. Care-free. B. Well-informed. C. Content. D. Confident.
C
Dog owners know that their dogs understand and answer orders such as “sit” and “stay”. Many believe that dogs also understand words connected to their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that.
A new study in Hungary has found that beyond being able to answer orders like “roll over”, dogs can learn to colligate words with exact objects. This is a relationship with language called referential understanding that has been unproven in dogs.
The study involved 18 dogs and a medical procedure using electrodes (电极) attached to dogs’ heads to measure brain activity and record brainwaves. Dog owners taking part in the study would play an audio clip (音频片段) in which they said the name of their dog’s toy — like “ball” or “frisbee” — and then they would show the dog an object. The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity when the object in the recording matched the object that was displayed and also when it differed. The study found a different brain pattern when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word compared to when it did not. The finding suggests the animals created a mental image of an object based on hearing the word for it.
Lill a Magyari, a co-lead writer of the study, said that while other animals have been shown to have some degree of referential understanding of language, those animals have usually been highly trained to do so. “In dogs,” she said, “the findings show that such abilities appear to be inborn and require no special training or talent.” “The study supports ideas about language evolution (发展) which say that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans,” added Magyari.
Scientists believe the first dogs began to be kept by humans up to 30,000 years ago. The animals have lived closely alongside us ever since. But whether dogs gain the ability to understand referential language during that evolution remains unclear.
8. What does the underlined word “colligate” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Compare. B. Connect. C. Exchange. D. Mix.
9. What did dog owners do in the study?
A. They recorded their dog’s brainwaves. B. They measured their dog’s brain activity.
C. They played the well-prepared recordings. D. They called out their dog’s name repeatedly.
10. Which statement does Magyari probably agree with?
A. Dogs may be smarter than imagined.
B. Dogs are the cleverest of all animals.
C. All animals have referential understanding.
D. Referential understanding is unique to humans.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Dogs Can Answer Specific Orders
B. Dogs Have Proven to Be Closest to Humans
C. Why Can Dogs Follow Our Orders?
D. How Well Does Your Dog Understand You?
D
Writing things out by hand might seem boring and slow. But handwriting can increase links (联系) across brain regions. That includes some with roles in learning and memory. The new finding adds to growing evidence of handwriting’s benefits.
Scientists researched on the brain activity of college students who wrote by hand or typed words. Compared with when they typed, more of the students’ brain regions worked together when students wrote hurriedly with a pen. This condition also showed up in brainwaves — patterns of electrical activity — that have been linked with forming memories. That might mean writing notes by hand could improve memory of the material for a test, for instance.
Previous research had shown that handwriting improves spelling and the ability to remember what you’ve learned. Handwriting also strengthens the understanding of concepts (概念). Scientists think that the slow process of tracing (描摹) out letters and words gives people more time to process material and learn it.
This new study indicates why handwriting seems so good for memory. “There is a key difference in brain organization for handwriting, when compared with typing,” says Ramesh, a scientist who works at the University of California, Merced. With handwriting, the researchers expected to see an increase of brain activity in areas linked to movement. But they also saw an improvement in certain waves related to learning and memory. And when students wrote by hand, interesting connections appeared.
Handwriting may aid learning. But typing is often easier, faster and more practical. So students and teachers alike should decide, based on the task, whether to write it out or type. For example, using handwriting to take notes might help you hang on to information, while typing an essay could help you get ideas down to the page faster, before you forget them.
Though more work is needed to find the best strategy for learning, handwriting has shown its value. So it shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more handwriting into course design,” Ramesh says. Some places are even creating laws that would make students handwrite more.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was shy when I was ten, and most of the time I was afraid of talking to people around. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was crowded, hot and smelly. The windows were all rolled up — the bus driver’s orders — it was simply raining too hard to have them down. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one.
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to clear. As I sat quietly, I saw a very small and thin cat across the street- on the other side of the road. Poor cat, I thought. He was all wet and didn’t seem to know where to go to get out of the rain. I wanted to go to get the cat, but I knew that the bus driver, Mrs Foster, would never allow me to get off the bus. It was against the rules to even stand up, so I knew that I would be in big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street.
My window became unclear again, and when I wiped (擦) the window clear, I could see that the cat was now struggling in what seemed to be a rushing, dirty river. He swallowed (吞) water and took quick deep breaths as he fought the current with all of his strength.
My heart was racing. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I felt like I was drowning (淹死) along with the little cat. I wanted to rush off the bus without asking permission pull the cat from the water, and cover him with my warm jacket. But I also pictured getting into trouble before the cat could be saved. And I imagined the other kids would laugh at me.
The bus began to move forward, and the traffic was finally moving. The cat’s eyes locked onto mine. He was begging for help. I looked around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. The weight of hopelessness surrounded me.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I couldn’t sit there, seeing him dying.

Mrs Foster came back and handed me the poor little cat.
