Sure, Mom and Dad had some trouble keeping it for a little while during the bankruptcy (破产) years, but bringing home a good income was never really a problem. That’s because my parents have never been confused about where money comes from. It’s something my dad has told me pretty much every day: Money comes from work. Our culture has made many wonderful advances to ensure the safety and well-being of children. But we may have taken this too far. Many parents today are so centered on what their children want that they have lost perspective on what their children really need. Perspective — looking at life over time — demands that you teach children to work. Teaching a child to work is not child abuse. We teach them to work not for our benefit, but because it gives them both dignity in a job well done today and the tools and character to win in the future as adults. You should view teaching your children to work in the same way you view teaching them to bathe and brush their teeth — as a necessary skill for life. If your child graduates from high school and his only skill set consists of playing video games, complaining and eating junk food, then you have set him up to fail. Another huge benefit of teaching a child the wonder of work is that she will tend to stay away from people who refuse to work. Why is this good? Because you want your daughter to marry Mr. Right, not Mr. Lazy. So train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not go away from it. 4. Which of the following can best describe the author’s dad? A. Generous. B. Hardworking. C. Considerate. D. Confident. 5. According to paragraph 2, what are parents today supposed to do? A. To instruct children to work. B. To focus on children’s needs. C. To ensure children’s well-being. D. To maintain the dignity of children. 6. What’s the benefit children can get from work? A. Getting rid of bad habits. B. Helping support the family. C. Learning to use money wisely. D. Keeping away from lazy people. 7. Which column does the text possibly come from? A. Career planning. B. Parental education. C. Financial management. D. Parent-child relationship. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文主要讲述的是作者的父亲对于工作的看法，以及作者对于教育孩子工作的重要性的观点。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s something my dad has told me pretty much every day: Money comes from work.”（这是我父亲几乎每天都告诉我的事情：钱来自工作。）可推知，作者的父亲是一个勤奋工作的人，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Perspective — looking at life over time — demands that you teach children to work.”（从长远的角度看待生活，这要求你教会孩子工作。）和“ We teach them to work not for our benefit, but because it gives them both dignity in a job well done today and the tools and character to win in the future as adults.”（我们教他们工作不是为了我们的利益，而是因为这给了他们今天出色工作的尊严，也给了他们成年后在未来获胜的工具和品格。）可推知，现在的父母应该教孩子工作，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Another huge benefit of teaching a child the wonder of work is that she will tend to stay away from people who refuse to work. Why is this good? Because you want your daughter to marry Mr. Right, not Mr. Lazy.”（教孩子工作的另一个巨大好处是，她会倾向于远离拒绝工作的人。为什么这很好？因为你想让你的女儿嫁给真命天子，而不是懒汉。）可推知，孩子从工作中可以得到的好处是远离懒惰的人，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Many parents today are so centered on what their children want that they have lost perspective on what their children really need. Perspective — looking at life over time — demands that you teach children to work.”（如今，许多父母都过于关注孩子想要什么，而忽略了孩子真正需要什么。从长远的角度看待生活，这要求你教会孩子工作。）和最后一段“So train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not go away from it.”（所以要训练一个孩子走他应该走的路，当他老了，他不会离开这条路。）可知，短文主要讲述的是作者的父亲对于工作的看法，以及作者对于教育孩子工作的重要性的观点。所以短文来自于“父母的教育”。故选B。 C Total solar eclipses (日食) have scared people since time out of mind. The first record of one, preserved on a clay tablet found at Ugarit, once a trade city but destroyed later in Syria, is believed from its age and location to describe either an eclipse that happened in 1375 BC or one in 1223 BC. Legendary explanations for eclipses include the Sun being eaten by dogs, frogs or dragons. The reality is not romantic. Why are total ones, like the one coming on April 8, so rare? Solar eclipses are a special case of phenomena called transits and occultations, in which an intervening (介于中间的) heavenly body stops light from a star reaching an observer. If the blocking body appears smaller in the sky than the star, the result is called a transit and looks like a dark spot crossing the star’s surface. If the blocking object appears larger than the star, the star disappears completely—an occultation. A total eclipse is an occultation. Solar eclipses may be either of these things, since the apparent sizes in the sky of the Sun and the Moon, viewed from Earth, are almost identical. If the Moon orbited Earth in the same plane as Earth orbits the Sun, eclipses would happen every month, but would be total only in the tropics (热带地区). In reality, the average interval between total eclipses is 18 months, and they may be seen from time to time all over the world. The path of totality across Earth’s surface is narrow and the period short (a maximum of just over seven and a half minutes). Outside these boundaries, the Sun will appear partially eclipsed, looking like a pie that something has taken a bite from. The Great North American Eclipse, as it has been called, will be a sight to be hold on April 8. But it should also be cherished, because total eclipses of the Sun will not happen for ever. Tidal friction (潮汐摩擦) causes the Moon to move away from Earth at 3.8 cm a year, making it appear smaller and smaller in the sky. In 600 million years or so the last, short totality will occur. 8. What does the clay tablet of Ugarit represent? A. Some figures of ancient animals. B. The Sun being eaten by some animals. C. Ancient people who were hunting for animals. D. The earliest total solar eclipse recorded. 9. How does the author develop paragraph 2? A By listing statistics. B. By giving definitions. C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 10 What can we learn about total solar eclipses from paragraph 3? A. Their duration is relatively longer. B. They take place every month actually. C. They are visible only from a narrow path. D. They look like a bite taken out of the Sun. 11. What makes total solar eclipses so rare? A. The moving-away Moon. B. The stronger tide on Earth. C. The smaller attraction of the Moon for Earth. D. The changing distance between the Sun and Earth. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了日全食罕见的原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The first record of one, preserved on a clay tablet found at Ugarit, once a trade city but destroyed later in Syria, is believed from its age and location to describe either an eclipse that happened in 1375 BC or one in 1223 BC. (最早的日食记录保存在Ugarit的一块泥板上，乌加里特曾是一个贸易城市，但后来在叙利亚被摧毁。从它的年代和位置来看，人们认为它可以描述发生在公元前1375年或公元前1223年的日食。)”可知，Ugarit的一块泥板描绘了第一份日全食的事实，这是有记录以来最早的日全食。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Solar eclipses are a special case of phenomena called transits and occultations, in which an intervening (介于中间的) heavenly body stops light from a star reaching an observer. If the blocking body appears smaller in the sky than the star, the result is called a transit and looks like a dark spot crossing the star’s surface. If the blocking object appears larger than the star, the star disappears completely—an occultation. A total eclipse is an occultation. (日食是一种特殊的现象，被称为凌日和掩星，在这种现象中，一个介入的天体阻挡了来自恒星的光到达观测者。如果阻塞体在天空中看起来比恒星小，结果就被称为凌日，看起来像一个穿过恒星表面的黑点。如果被遮挡的物体看起来比恒星大，恒星就会完全消失——这就是掩星。日全食就是掩星。)”可知，第二段主要阐释了transit（凌日）和 occultation（掩星）两种自然现象，对这两种现象给出了定义。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The path of totality across Earth’s surface is narrow and the period short (a maximum of just over seven and a half minutes). (全食穿过地球表面的路径很窄，周期也很短（最长不过7分半钟）。)”可知，日全食穿过地球表面的路径很窄，周期也很短（最长不过7分半钟）。由此可推断，日全食可见的路径窄。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Tidal friction (潮汐摩擦) causes the Moon to move away from Earth at 3.8 cm a year, making it appear smaller and smaller in the sky. (潮汐摩擦使月球以每年3.8厘米的速度远离地球，使它在天空中显得越来越小。)”可知，潮汐摩擦导致月球逐渐远离地球，使其在天空中显得越来越小。由此可知，我们以后再想见到日全食将会越来越难。故选A。 D Handwriting notes in class might seem outdated as smartphones and other digital technology cover every aspect of learning across schools and universities. But a steady stream of research continues to suggest that taking notes the traditional way is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. And now scientists are finally zeroing in on why. The new research, by Audrey van der Meer and Ruud van der Weel at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), builds on a foundational 2014 study suggesting that people taking notes by computer were typing without thinking. “It kind of goes in through your ears and comes out through your fingertips, but you don’t process the incoming information,” she says. But when taking notes by hand, it’s often impossible to write everything down; students have to actively pay attention to the incoming information and process it — prioritize it, consolidate it and try to relate it to things they’ve learned before. This conscious action of building onto existing knowledge can make it easier to stay engaged and grasp new concepts. To understand specific brain activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, the researchers sewed electrodes (电极) into a hairnet with 256 sensors that recorded the brain activity of 36 students as they wrote or typed 15 words from the game Pictionary that were displayed on a screen. When students wrote the words by hand, the sensors detected widespread connectivity across many brain regions. Typing, however, led to minimal activity, if any, in the same areas. Handwriting set off connection patterns covering visual regions, which receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex (运动皮层). The latter handles body movement and sensorimotor integration, which helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Sophia Vinci-Booher, an assistant professor of educational brain science at Vanderbilt University, says, “People may not realize when they materialize something by writing or drawing it, this strengthens the concept and helps it stick in their memory.” 12. What do we know about the new research? A. It is an initial study on note-taking. B. It offers a new note-taking method. C. It finds the evidence for previous finding. D. It introduces how to take notes effectively. 13. What does the underlined word “consolidate” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Integrate. B. Demonstrate. C. Obtain. D. Share. 14. What happens in the brain when taking notes by hand? A. Visual systems are lacking in activities. B. Some brain areas are highly involved. C. Sensory information is processed rapidly. D. The motor cortex accepts visual information. 15. What is Sophia Vinci-Booher’s attitude towards the new research? A. Approving. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现手写比打字更加有助于记忆和学习，解释了背后的原因是手写笔记需要积极参与和处理信息。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“And now scientists are finally zeroing in on why.(现在科学家们终于找到了原因)”和第二段“The new research, by Audrey van der Meer and Ruud van der Weel at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), builds on a foundational 2014 study suggesting that people taking notes by computer were typing without thinking.(挪威科技大学的奥黛丽·范德米尔和鲁德·范德韦尔的这项新研究是在2014年的一项基础研究的基础上进行的，该研究表明，用电脑做笔记的人是在不加思考地打字)”可知，新的研究是基于2014 年研究的结果找寻背后的原因。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But when taking notes by hand, it’s often impossible to write everything down; students have to actively pay attention to the incoming information and process it(但是当用手记笔记时，通常不可能把所有的东西都写下来;学生们必须积极地关注传入的信息，并对其进行处理)”以及后文“it and try to relate it to things they’ve learned before.”可知，用手写方式记笔记通常不能记下所有的内容。学生需要对知识进行消化，然后记下要点。因此consolidate 应该属于“处理”信息的过程，即过程是：先把信息优先排序，然后整合这些信息，并尝试将其与之前学过的知识联系起来。故划线词意思是“整合”。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When students wrote the words by hand, the sensors detected widespread connectivity across many brain regions.(当学生手写单词时，传感器检测到大脑许多区域的广泛连接)”可知，当用手写方式记笔记时，大脑多个区域相连接并产生活动。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sophia Vinci-Booher, an assistant professor of educational brain science at Vanderbilt University, says, “People may not realize when they materialize something by writing or drawing it, this strengthens the concept and helps it stick in their memory.”(范德比尔特大学教育脑科学助理教授索菲亚·文西-布尔说：“人们可能没有意识到，当他们通过书写或绘画将某件事具体化时，这加强了概念，并有助于它留在他们的记忆中。”)”可知，她认为此项研究证实了用手写方式记笔记可以强化所接收的观点，同时增强大脑对知识的记忆，即对新研究是支持态度。故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Several years ago, I experienced daily severe headaches that made me want to bang my head against a brick wall. I was desperate to find a cure. ___16___ In my hopelessness, my father suggested acupuncture (针灸), a treatment he had experienced in Hong Kong. It had successfully relieved his lower back pain when other treatments and medicines had failed. With limited exposure to traditional Chinese medicine, I decided to give acupuncture a try. With no particular expectations, I found myself in the office of a middle-aged woman, surrounded by Chinese herbal medicines. After explaining my issue, she placed 3 fingers on my wrist to feel my heartbeat. ___17___ Soon, she took out the needles, which made me somewhat uneasy as such objects typically make me uncomfortable. ___18___ To deal with my headaches, the treatment began on the back of my hand, far from my head. As the doctor gently handled the needles, I got the feeling that something was flowing throughout my entire body. The doctor then continued to tap and move more needles across my body. The electricity was turned on, and the doctor left the room. ___19___ Around the 5-minute mark, the doctor returned and adjusted the electricity level. A moment later, before I knew it, she turned off the electricity and removed the needles, marking an end to the 20-minute process. She then gave me some herbal medicine to take for 5 days. I returned to the doctor for a total of 10 sessions, and each time the same routine was repeated and the same herbal medicine was given. The true benefits of the acupuncture treatment became clear: I remained free of headaches for 2 years. ___20___ If you’ve experienced similar conditions, I highly recommend trying it. A. At last, my efforts paid off. B I now strongly advocate acupuncture. C. I was then guided to a room and told to lie down. D. Despite trying different solutions, nothing worked. E. My initial experience with acupuncture was quite surprising. F. Though it may seem scary, the acupuncture cured my back pain. G. Lying still, I could sense the electricity flowing throughout my body. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者因长期遭受严重头痛困扰而尝试针灸治疗的经历。文中详细描述了从接受针灸建议、初次诊疗过程、治疗中的感受，到最终症状缓解并推荐他人尝试的过程。 【16题详解】 由上文“Several years ago, I experienced daily severe headaches that made me want to bang my head against a brick wall. I was desperate to find a cure. (几年前，我每天都会经历剧烈的头痛，让我想把头往砖墙上撞。我非常渴望找到治疗方法。)”可知，这里在描述作者头痛的困境以及寻找治疗方法的急迫性。D选项“Despite trying different solutions, nothing worked. (尽管尝试了不同的解决办法，但都没有奏效。)”能够承接上文，表明作者在尝试多种方法无果后的绝望状态。故选D。 【17题详解】 由上文“After explaining my issue, she placed 3 fingers on my wrist to feel my heartbeat.

He spends quality time playing with his baby sister while his mother busies herself in the kitchen, cooking dinner. And after meals, he dutifully assists his father with drying the dishes. However, Jeremy’s favorite job is feeding Fletch, the family’s pet cat. Fletch is a handsome cat, his fur a mix of brown and black, adorned with tiger stripes running across his back. When he’s hungry, Fletch has a unique way of communicating with Jeremy. He gently bumps his head against Jeremy’s legs, a silent reminder that it’s time for his meal. One evening after dinner, Mom asked Jeremy to find Baby Suzy’s doll. “I think she might have dropped it in the backyard this afternoon,” she said worriedly. “She won’t be able to sleep without it. Can you take a look before it gets too dark?” Without hesitation, Jeremy opened the back door and ran outside. The bright red doll stood out among the grass, making it easy for him to spot. Grabbing it, he ran back inside, relieved to have found it. Later that night, as Jeremy prepared for bed, he remembered his usual routine. He always said goodnight to Fletch before turning off the light, but the cat was nowhere to be found. Jeremy searched the bathroom and hallway, but Fletch was missing. Worried, he went downstairs to go on his search. He checked the living room and dining room, but still no sign of Fletch. As he reached the kitchen, Jeremy’s heart sank. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Mom, who was enjoying a cup of tea, looked up and noticed his worry. “Jeremy, you should be in bed by now! What’s wrong?” she asked, concern etched on her face. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “The back door is open!” Jeremy cried, uneasiness creeping into his voice. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jeremy was awoken by a familiar sound — a loud “Meow”. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“The back door is open!” Jeremy cried, uneasiness creeping into his voice. “And I can’t find Fletch anywhere!” “I think you’re right to be worried,” she said, her voice calm yet filled with sympathy. “Fletch may have slipped out through the open door.” “Fletch may slipped out the door.” Jeremy’s eyes welled up with tears. “Fletch ran away and it’s all my fault! I left the door open!” he sobbed. Mom wrapped her arms around Jeremy, offering comfort. They sat together until Jeremy stopped crying. “Cats are very smart,” Mom said gently. “Fletch will probably find his way home for breakfast.” The next morning, Jeremy was awoken by a familiar sound — a loud “Meow.” He jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, his heart full of hope. He made his way straight to the back door and pushed it open wide. There, sitting calmly, was Fletch, licking his paw as he washed his face. Fletch looked at Jeremy and meowed. Then, without hesitation, he slipped inside and made his way to his food bowl. Jeremy’s heart filled with relief and joy. He gave Fletch an extra scoop of cat food. “Next time I’ll make sure I close the door nice and tight,” Jeremy promised, his voice filled with determination. “Meow,” Fletch replied, seemingly content and at peace. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，Jeremy喜欢帮家人做家务，最喜欢的是喂养家里的猫Fletch。有一天晚上，他把家门打开了，导致Fletch不见了。 【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容““后门开着！” Fletch叫道，声音里带着不安。”可知，第一段可描写Jeremy的自责以及母亲的安慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，Jeremy被一个熟悉的声音吵醒了——一声响亮的“喵喵”。”可知，第二段可描写Fletch回来的场景以及Jeremy的心情。 2.续写线索：Jeremy自责——妈妈宽慰————Fletch回来了——Jerem很高兴 3.词汇激活行为类 ①提供：offer/provide ②确信：make sure/ensure ③承诺：promise/commit 情绪类 ①担忧的：worried/concerned ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1]They sat together until Jeremy stopped crying.（运用了till引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]Mom wrapped her arms around Jeremy, offering comfort.（运用了现在分词作状语） 听力1～5： BAABC 6～10：BCBAA 11～15：ABCAB 16～20： BBCCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 本试卷8页。总分150分。考试时间120分钟。注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Sure, Mom and Dad had some trouble keeping it for a little while during the bankruptcy (破产) years, but bringing home a good income was never really a problem. That’s because my parents have never been confused about where money comes from. It’s something my dad has told me pretty much every day: Money comes from work. Our culture has made many wonderful advances to ensure the safety and well-being of children. But we may have taken this too far. Many parents today are so centered on what their children want that they have lost perspective on what their children really need. Perspective — looking at life over time — demands that you teach children to work. Teaching a child to work is not child abuse. We teach them to work not for our benefit, but because it gives them both dignity in a job well done today and the tools and character to win in the future as adults. You should view teaching your children to work in the same way you view teaching them to bathe and brush their teeth — as a necessary skill for life. If your child graduates from high school and his only skill set consists of playing video games, complaining and eating junk food, then you have set him up to fail. Another huge benefit of teaching a child the wonder of work is that she will tend to stay away from people who refuse to work. Why is this good? Because you want your daughter to marry Mr. Right, not Mr. Lazy. So train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not go away from it. 4. Which of the following can best describe the author’s dad? A. Generous. B. Hardworking. C. Considerate. D. Confident. 5. According to paragraph 2, what are parents today supposed to do? A. To instruct children to work. B. To focus on children’s needs. C. To ensure children’s well-being. D. To maintain the dignity of children. 6. What’s the benefit children can get from work? A. Getting rid of bad habits. B. Helping support the family. C. Learning to use money wisely. D. Keeping away from lazy people. 7. Which column does the text possibly come from? A. Career planning. B. Parental education. C. Financial management. D. Parent-child relationship. C Total solar eclipses (日食) have scared people since time out of mind. The first record of one, preserved on a clay tablet found at Ugarit, once a trade city but destroyed later in Syria, is believed from its age and location to describe either an eclipse that happened in 1375 BC or one in 1223 BC. Legendary explanations for eclipses include the Sun being eaten by dogs, frogs or dragons. The reality is not romantic. Why are total ones, like the one coming on April 8, so rare? Solar eclipses are a special case of phenomena called transits and occultations, in which an intervening (介于中间的) heavenly body stops light from a star reaching an observer. If the blocking body appears smaller in the sky than the star, the result is called a transit and looks like a dark spot crossing the star’s surface. If the blocking object appears larger than the star, the star disappears completely—an occultation. A total eclipse is an occultation. Solar eclipses may be either of these things, since the apparent sizes in the sky of the Sun and the Moon, viewed from Earth, are almost identical. If the Moon orbited Earth in the same plane as Earth orbits the Sun, eclipses would happen every month, but would be total only in the tropics (热带地区). In reality, the average interval between total eclipses is 18 months, and they may be seen from time to time all over the world. The path of totality across Earth’s surface is narrow and the period short (a maximum of just over seven and a half minutes). Outside these boundaries, the Sun will appear partially eclipsed, looking like a pie that something has taken a bite from. The Great North American Eclipse, as it has been called, will be a sight to be hold on April 8. But it should also be cherished, because total eclipses of the Sun will not happen for ever. Tidal friction (潮汐摩擦) causes the Moon to move away from Earth at 3.8 cm a year, making it appear smaller and smaller in the sky. In 600 million years or so the last, short totality will occur. 8. What does the clay tablet of Ugarit represent? A. Some figures of ancient animals. B. The Sun being eaten by some animals. C. Ancient people who were hunting for animals. D. The earliest total solar eclipse recorded. 9. How does the author develop paragraph 2? A. By listing statistics. B. By giving definitions. C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 10. What can we learn about total solar eclipses from paragraph 3? A. Their duration is relatively longer. B. They take place every month actually. C. They are visible only from a narrow path. D. They look like a bite taken out of the Sun. 11. What makes total solar eclipses so rare? A. The moving-away Moon. B. The stronger tide on Earth. C. The smaller attraction of the Moon for Earth. D. The changing distance between the Sun and Earth. D Handwriting notes in class might seem outdated as smartphones and other digital technology cover every aspect of learning across schools and universities. But a steady stream of research continues to suggest that taking notes the traditional way is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. And now scientists are finally zeroing in on why. The new research, by Audrey van der Meer and Ruud van der Weel at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), builds on a foundational 2014 study suggesting that people taking notes by computer were typing without thinking. “It kind of goes in through your ears and comes out through your fingertips, but you don’t process the incoming information,” she says. But when taking notes by hand, it’s often impossible to write everything down; students have to actively pay attention to the incoming information and process it — prioritize it, consolidate it and try to relate it to things they’ve learned before. This conscious action of building onto existing knowledge can make it easier to stay engaged and grasp new concepts. To understand specific brain activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, the researchers sewed electrodes (电极) into a hairnet with 256 sensors that recorded the brain activity of 36 students as they wrote or typed 15 words from the game Pictionary that were displayed on a screen. When students wrote the words by hand, the sensors detected widespread connectivity across many brain regions. Typing, however, led to minimal activity, if any, in the same areas. Handwriting set off connection patterns covering visual regions, which receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex (运动皮层). The latter handles body movement and sensorimotor integration, which helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action. Sophia Vinci-Booher, an assistant professor of educational brain science at Vanderbilt University, says, “People may not realize when they materialize something by writing or drawing it, this strengthens the concept and helps it stick in their memory.” 12 What do we know about the new research? A. It is an initial study on note-taking. B. It offers a new note-taking method. C It finds the evidence for previous finding. D. It introduces how to take notes effectively. 13. What does the underlined word “consolidate” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Integrate. B. Demonstrate. C. Obtain. D. Share. 14. What happens in the brain when taking notes by hand? A. Visual systems are lacking in activities. B. Some brain areas are highly involved. C. Sensory information is processed rapidly. D. The motor cortex accepts visual information. 15. What is Sophia Vinci-Booher’s attitude towards the new research? A. Approving. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Several years ago, I experienced daily severe headaches that made me want to bang my head against a brick wall.

He spends quality time playing with his baby sister while his mother busies herself in the kitchen, cooking dinner. And after meals, he dutifully assists his father with drying the dishes. However, Jeremy’s favorite job is feeding Fletch, the family’s pet cat. Fletch is a handsome cat, his fur a mix of brown and black, adorned with tiger stripes running across his back. When he’s hungry, Fletch has a unique way of communicating with Jeremy. He gently bumps his head against Jeremy’s legs, a silent reminder that it’s time for his meal. One evening after dinner, Mom asked Jeremy to find Baby Suzy’s doll. “I think she might have dropped it in the backyard this afternoon,” she said worriedly. “She won’t be able to sleep without it. Can you take a look before it gets too dark?” Without hesitation, Jeremy opened the back door and ran outside. The bright red doll stood out among the grass, making it easy for him to spot. Grabbing it, he ran back inside, relieved to have found it. Later that night, as Jeremy prepared for bed, he remembered his usual routine. He always said goodnight to Fletch before turning off the light, but the cat was nowhere to be found. Jeremy searched the bathroom and hallway, but Fletch was missing. Worried, he went downstairs to go on his search. He checked the living room and dining room, but still no sign of Fletch. As he reached the kitchen, Jeremy’s heart sank. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Mom, who was enjoying a cup of tea, looked up and noticed his worry. “Jeremy, you should be in bed by now! What’s wrong?” she asked, concern etched on her face. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “The back door is open!” Jeremy cried, uneasiness creeping into his voice. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jeremy was awoken by a familiar sound — a loud “Meow”. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1～5： BAABC 6～10：BCBAA 11～15：ABCAB 16～20： BBCCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
