Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam's birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from used pens to milk bottle tops. ''Changing our family lifestyle to a green one has saved us around £ 11, 000 every year, which has given us more financial stability, " Carrie says. "Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun to see what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, which is good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier." “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really aroused in 2008 when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the planet we're bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university." She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son's birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, are turned into purses by an organization. My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this by various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values." 4.

Experts at Newcastle University found that individuals who ate a Mediterranean-like diet had up to 23% lower risk for dementia than those who did not. This research, published today in the journal BMC Medicine, is one of the biggest studies of its kind. Scientists analyzed data from 60,298 individuals from the UK Biobank, including individuals from across the UK, who had completed a dietary assessment. The authors scored individuals based on how closely their diet matched the key features of a Mediterranean one. The participants were allowed for almost a decade, during which time there were 882 cases of dementia. The authors considered each individual’s genetic risk for dementia by estimating what is known as their polygenic (多基因的) risk-a measure of all the different genes that are related to the risk of dementia. They found that there were similar associations between sticking to Mediterranean diet and dementia risk in individuals with higher and lower genetic risk for this condition, which may indicate that even for those with a higher genetic risk, having a better diet could reduce the likelihood of developing the condition. Dr Janice Ranson, joint lead author on the paper, said: “Dementia impacts the lives of millions of individuals throughout the world, and there are currently limited options for treating this condition. Our study shows a Mediterranean diet that has a high intake of healthy plant-based foods may be important for future strategies to reduce dementia risk. For example, the dementia prevention efforts could go beyond general healthy diet advice and focus on choosing specific foods and nutrients.” The authors caution that their analysis is limited to individuals who self-reported their ethnic background as white, British or Irish, as genetic data was only available based on European countries, and that further research is needed in a range of populations to determine the potential benefit. 8. What did scientists do during the study? A. They scored the Mediterranean diet. B. They tracked the participants’ health. C. They collected data from 60298 families. D. They selected 882 potential dementia cases. 9. What can we infer about the Mediterranean diet from paragraph 4? A. Its effect is closely related to the polygenic risk. B. It increases one’s chance of developing dementia. C. It can reduce dementia risk regardless of one’s genetic risk. D. It can provide protection against various genetic diseases. 10. What are Dr Janice Ranson’s words mainly about? A. Values of the study. B. Features of the study. C. Elements of a healthy diet. D. Ways to deal with dementia. 11. What will further research most probably focus on? A. Finding out more benefits of the Mediterranean diet. B. Applying the findings to the treatment of dementia. C. Involving participants of diverse races and nationalities. D. Studying the rate of dementia within different age groups. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现，吃地中海式饮食的人患有痴呆症的风险较低，同时也指出该研究存在的问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题题。根据第三段中的“The participants were followed for almost a decade, during which lime there were 882 cases of dementia. (参与者被跟踪了近十年，在此期间有882例痴呆病例。)”可知，研究者对参与者进行了接近十年的跟踪研究，在此期间，882人患上了dementia，由此可知，研究团队追踪了参与者的健康状况，故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They found that there were similar associations between sticking to Mediterranean diet and dementia risk in individuals with higher and lower genetic risk for this condition, which may indicate that even for those with a higher genetic risk, having a better diet could reduce the likelihood of developing the condition. (他们发现，在患这种疾病的遗传风险较高和较低的个体中，坚持地中海饮食与患痴呆症的风险之间存在类似的关联，这可能表明，即使对那些遗传风险较高的人来说，更好的饮食也可以降低患这种疾病的可能性。)”可知，在低基因风险人群和高基因风险人群中，地中海饮食和痴呆风险之间存在着相似的关联，即能降低痴呆风险，故可推知，地中海饮食可以减少痴呆风险的功能不受基因风险的影响，故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中Dr Janice Ranson所说的“Dementia impacts the lives of millions of individuals throughout the world, and there are currently limited options for treating this condition. Our study shows a Mediterranean diet that has a high intake of healthy plant-based foods may be important for future strategies to reduce dementia risk. (痴呆症影响着全世界数百万人的生活，目前治疗这种疾病的选择有限。我们的研究表明，地中海饮食中大量摄入健康的植物性食物可能对未来降低痴呆风险的策略很重要。)”可知，Dr Janice Ranson先强调了痴呆对人们的影响，指出目前治疗手段非常有限，然后说明了他们的研究对于预防痴呆的积极意义，由此可知，Dr Janice Ranson主要介绍的是研究的价值。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“The authors caution that their analysis is limited to individuals who self-reported their ethnic background as white, British or Irish, as genetic data was only available based on European countries, and that further research is needed in a range of populations to determine the potential benefit. (作者警告说，他们的分析仅限于自我报告其种族背景为白人、英国人或爱尔兰人的个人，因为遗传数据仅基于欧洲国家，并且需要在一系列人群中进行进一步的研究以确定潜在的益处。)”可知，该研究中的分析对象主要基于欧洲国家，由此可以推断，进一步的研究会集中在丰富样本数据方面，收集更多来自不同种族和国家的数据。故选C项。 D A team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard. The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive (草书) on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type. “We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard,” says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. “Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding (编码) new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning.” The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper. “We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.” Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. “There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes. 12. What was the special cap used to do? A. Measure the participants’ brain activity. B. Evaluate the participants’ writing styles. C. Tell the participants when to write or type. D. Record the time the participants used to write. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study? A. Its backgrounds. B. Its equipment. C. Its outcomes. D. Its process. 14. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity? A. Writing letters carefully by hand. B. Forming the habit of taking notes. C. Recognizing letters’ mirror images. D. Learning to practice cursive writing. 15. What is Audrey’s attitude towards handwritten note-taking? A. Critical B. Tolerant C. Ambiguous D. Approving 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于手写和用键盘打字的研究，研究发现大脑的连接模式比用键盘打字时要复杂得多。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type.(学生们戴上这顶帽子，每次被要求书写或打字时，他们的大脑活动都会被记录5秒钟)”可知，这个特殊的帽子用来测量参与者的大脑活动。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.”(“我们已经证明，大脑活动的差异与手写时仔细排列字母有关，同时更多地利用感官。奥黛丽补充说：“由于形成字母时手指的运动促进了大脑的连接，因此印刷体书写对学习也有类似的好处。”“这也解释了为什么学会在平板电脑上写字和读书的孩子很难区分互为镜像的字母，比如‘b’和‘d’。”他们还没有用自己的身体感受过写出这些字母的感觉。”)”可知，第三段的重点是研究结果。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing(由于形成字母时手指的运动促进了大脑的连接，因此印刷体书写对学习也有类似的好处)”可知，用手认真地写信在加强大脑连通性方面起着关键作用。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes.(奥黛丽总结道：“有证据表明，学生在手写课堂笔记时学得更多，记忆也更好，而在写长篇文章或论文时，使用带键盘的电脑可能更实用。”)”可知，奥黛丽对手写笔记是支持态度。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a world that often feels fast-paced and restrained to routines, the desire for van (房车) life and mobile living has captured the hearts of many seeking an alternative lifestyle. ____16____ From the freedom to explore new horizons to fostering a minimalist mindset, here are some captivating advantages of embracing van life.

The custom-made dining table, _______ (measure) 2 meters, in their dining room is elegantly designed.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】measuring 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：餐厅定制的餐桌，长2米，设计优雅。句中已有谓语动词is designed，所以用非谓语动词形式。名词The custom-made dining table与 measure之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式 作后置定语。故填measuring。 37. Recently, we have encountered several cases _______ the software failed to perform as expected under certain conditions. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】where 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：最近，我们遇到了几个案例，其中软件在某些条件下无法按预期执行。句中先行词为cases，在定语从句中作状语，表示抽象概念的地点，所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。 38. The family gathered for reunion last week, three of _______ had traveled from across the country to attend. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】whom 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这家人上周团聚，其中三人从全国各地赶来参加。这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是 The family，指人，且关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语，所以用关系代词whom引导。故填whom。 39. These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, ________ whom Guangxi is home. （用适当的词填空） 【答案】to 【解析】 【详解】考查介词+关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句。句意：龙脊梯田是当地的壮族和瑶族人建的，广西是他们的家园。根据句意可知，此处涉及短语be home to“是……的家园”，由句子结构分析可知，此句中介词to提前，构成“介词+关系代词”的非限制性定语从句，关系代词whom指代先行词“local Zhuang and Yao people”，在从句中作介词“to”的宾语。故填to。 40. Taking breaks during work hours can be _______ (benefit) to increasing productivity. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】beneficial 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：工作时间休息有利于提高工作效率。空处作表语，形容词beneficial符合题意，be beneficial to对……有好处。故填beneficial。 41.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】creativity 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：解决复杂的问题往往需要创造力，这有助于有效地找到创新的解决方案。require是及物动词，其后需要接名词作宾语。create是动词，其名词形式是creativity，意为“创造力”，为不可数名词。故填creativity。 42. As the river was _______ (freeze) solid, the daring ice skaters brave the elements to skate on it. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】frozen 【解析】 【详解】考查语态。句意：由于河水已经冻得结实了，勇敢的滑冰者不顾天气状况在冰上滑冰。动词freeze(冻住)是从句谓语动词，与主语the river之间是被动关系，用过去分词与助动词was构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填frozen。 43. Efficient packaging ensures that fragile goods are well protected, preventing them from _______ (wrap) too tightly and potentially damaged. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】being wrapped 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有效包装确保易碎的货物得到很好的保护，防止它们被包装得太紧而潜在地损坏。prevent...from doing sth. 阻止……做某事，goods和wrap之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动形式。故填being wrapped。 44. After the flood, enormous amounts of clean water _______ (be) needed to provide relief to those affected last week. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】were 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：上周，洪水过后，需要大量的清洁水来为灾民提供救援。“amounts of + 不可数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。last week表明时态为一般过去时，所以 be 动词用were。故填were。 45. The police _______ (seek) public assistance yesterday to locate a missing boy in the neighborhood. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】sought 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：警方昨天请求公众帮助寻找附近一个失踪男孩。根据时间状语yesterday可知，用一般过去时，空格处是谓语动词，用过去式sought。故填sought。 第三节 语篇填空(共10小题; 每小题 1.5分，满分15分) 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。 Reports of dogs biting people in China ____46____ (become) increasingly common in the past few years.

Tilly was so stuck with her sister that she always followed her elder sister, Violet, everywhere. For example, when Violet was painting, she would paint by her side. Every time, Violet looked at her angrily. Couldn’t she find her own thing to do? This time, it was Tilly’s first week at gymnastics, while Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years. Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (翻筋斗). She frowned at her little sister across the room. Why couldn’t Tilly always find her own thing to do? “Violet, you’re up!” called Violet’s instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped. “Perfect!” Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet’s somersaults. “Tilly!” called Tilly’s instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. Tilly didn’t seem to hear. Not until she was called three times did she run back to her group. “ Your turn to do somersaults. ” Miss Brooke put an arm around her. Tilly walked to the mat with her face turning red like a tomato. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the mat. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise. Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran towards the restroom. She was gone from the gym, as Violet had wanted. But it didn’t feel right. After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom. She found Tilly crying hard. Violet put an arm around her sister. Seeing Violet, Tilly cried even harder. Tilly sniffed “I don’t want to do gymnastics any more.” She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. This was Violet’s chance. If she said nothing to her sister, Tilly might quit gymnastics forever. 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。 Paragraph 1: But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Seeing a smile on Tilly’s face, Violet said, “What about giving it another try?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics. Every time Tilly watched Violet doing somersaults at the gym, the big toothy smile was always on her face. So Violet decided to cheer her up. Casting a comforting smile at Tilly, she helped her sister wipe out tears from her cheeks. “You’re better at somersaults than I was on my first day of gymnastics. ” Violet explained how embarrassing her first somersault was. A smile took hold of Tilly when the amusing scene came to her. Seeing a smile on Tilly’s face, Violet said, “What about giving it another try?” Tilly smiled a little more and made up her mind that she would not be a coward . “OK!” Picking up all her courage, Tilly walked back into the gym, where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Miss Taylor. Nobody could feel more on top of the world than her then. A bright smile spread across the little girl’s face. Gratitude to her elder sister filled her eyes. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物线索展开，讲述了Tilly非常喜欢跟着姐姐Violet，这样Violet很恼火。一天在体操课时，Tilly不认真练习，跑去看姐姐翻筋斗。轮到自己翻了却做不好，因此被同学们嘲笑。她跑到休息室，大哭起来，并告诉赶来找自己的Violet自己不想练习体操了。这可能是Violet可以甩掉Tilly的好机会，但Violet并没有这样做，而是鼓励Tilly继续练习，最后Tilly成功了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“但Violet知道Tilly对参加体操有多兴奋”可知，下文可描写Violet安慰Tilly并鼓励她继续练习体操。 ②根据第二段首句“看到Tilly脸上的笑容，Violet说：‘再来一次怎么样？’”可知，下文可描写Tilly鼓起勇气回去，并在自己的努力下完成了翻筋斗，以及她的情绪。 2.续写线索：Violet知道Tilly喜欢体操——安慰并鼓励Tilly继续——建议Tilly再试一次——回到课堂——完成翻筋斗——开心 3.词类激活 行为类 ①决定：decide to do/determine to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do ②回去：walk back/return 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassing/awkward ②有趣的：amusing/funny ③感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]Every time Tilly watched Violet doing somersaults at the gym, the big toothy smile was always on her face.（运用了every time引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Picking up all her courage, Tilly walked back into the gym, where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Miss Taylor （运用了现在分词作状语和where引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 哈三中2024-2025 学年度上学期高一学年 12月月考 英语 试卷 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) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，从题中给出的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?

Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam's birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from used pens to milk bottle tops. ''Changing our family lifestyle to a green one has saved us around £ 11, 000 every year, which has given us more financial stability, " Carrie says. "Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun to see what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, which is good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier." “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really aroused in 2008 when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the planet we're bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university." She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son's birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, are turned into purses by an organization. My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this by various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values." 4. How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. Unwanted. B. Unhealthy. C. Expensive. D. Economical. 5. When did Carrie begin to care about the lifestyle? A. After winning an award. B. After giving birth to her son. C. After being stuck in poverty, D. After attending green meetings. 6. What can we know about Carrie? A. She made good preparations for living green. B. She recycled what people ignored for fun. C. She does daily exercise by growing food. D. She majored in planet protection in university. 7. What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements? A. Her repair cafe and workshops. B. Her own programs and cooperation with others. C. Her well-paid job and her brother's support. D. Her independence of realizing her green dream. C Eating a traditional Mediterranean-type diet-rich in foods such as seafood, fruit, and nuts- -may help reduce the risk of dementia (痴呆) by almost a quarter, a new study has revealed. Experts at Newcastle University found that individuals who ate a Mediterranean-like diet had up to 23% lower risk for dementia than those who did not. This research, published today in the journal BMC Medicine, is one of the biggest studies of its kind. Scientists analyzed data from 60,298 individuals from the UK Biobank, including individuals from across the UK, who had completed a dietary assessment. The authors scored individuals based on how closely their diet matched the key features of a Mediterranean one. The participants were allowed for almost a decade, during which time there were 882 cases of dementia. The authors considered each individual’s genetic risk for dementia by estimating what is known as their polygenic (多基因的) risk-a measure of all the different genes that are related to the risk of dementia. They found that there were similar associations between sticking to Mediterranean diet and dementia risk in individuals with higher and lower genetic risk for this condition, which may indicate that even for those with a higher genetic risk, having a better diet could reduce the likelihood of developing the condition. Dr Janice Ranson, joint lead author on the paper, said: “Dementia impacts the lives of millions of individuals throughout the world, and there are currently limited options for treating this condition. Our study shows a Mediterranean diet that has a high intake of healthy plant-based foods may be important for future strategies to reduce dementia risk. For example, the dementia prevention efforts could go beyond general healthy diet advice and focus on choosing specific foods and nutrients.” The authors caution that their analysis is limited to individuals who self-reported their ethnic background as white, British or Irish, as genetic data was only available based on European countries, and that further research is needed in a range of populations to determine the potential benefit. 8. What did scientists do during the study? A. They scored the Mediterranean diet. B They tracked the participants’ health. C. They collected data from 60298 families. D. They selected 882 potential dementia cases. 9. What can we infer about the Mediterranean diet from paragraph 4? A. Its effect is closely related to the polygenic risk. B. It increases one’s chance of developing dementia. C. It can reduce dementia risk regardless of one’s genetic risk. D. It can provide protection against various genetic diseases. 10. What are Dr Janice Ranson’s words mainly about? A. Values of the study. B. Features of the study. C. Elements of a healthy diet. D. Ways to deal with dementia. 11. What will further research most probably focus on? A. Finding out more benefits of the Mediterranean diet. B. Applying the findings to the treatment of dementia. C. Involving participants of diverse races and nationalities. D. Studying the rate of dementia within different age groups. D A team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard. The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive (草书) on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type. “We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard,” says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. “Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding (编码) new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning.” The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper. “We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.” Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. “There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes. 12. What was the special cap used to do? A. Measure the participants’ brain activity. B. Evaluate the participants’ writing styles. C. Tell the participants when to write or type. D. Record the time the participants used to write. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study? A. Its backgrounds. B. Its equipment. C. Its outcomes. D. Its process. 14. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity? A. Writing letters carefully by hand. B. Forming the habit of taking notes. C. Recognizing letters’ mirror images. D. Learning to practice cursive writing. 15. What is Audrey’s attitude towards handwritten note-taking? A. Critical B. Tolerant C. Ambiguous D.

Tilly was so stuck with her sister that she always followed her elder sister, Violet, everywhere. For example, when Violet was painting, she would paint by her side. Every time, Violet looked at her angrily. Couldn’t she find her own thing to do? This time, it was Tilly’s first week at gymnastics, while Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years. Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (翻筋斗). She frowned at her little sister across the room. Why couldn’t Tilly always find her own thing to do? “Violet, you’re up!” called Violet’s instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped. “Perfect!” Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet’s somersaults. “Tilly!” called Tilly’s instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. Tilly didn’t seem to hear. Not until she was called three times did she run back to her group. “ Your turn to do somersaults. ” Miss Brooke put an arm around her. Tilly walked to the mat with her face turning red like a tomato. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the mat. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise. Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran towards the restroom. She was gone from the gym, as Violet had wanted. But it didn’t feel right. After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom. She found Tilly crying hard. Violet put an arm around her sister. Seeing Violet, Tilly cried even harder.
