[对应学生用书P528] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·金丽衢十二校联考)In February 2022，I began learning Chinese.Almost a year later，I found myself in Beijing，the capital of China.Before coming here，I had attended Chinese classes，and I could sense my progress in the language，albeit modest.As you might expect，studying for just one year wasn't sufficient to claim fluency，and to be honest，I'm not there yet.But full proficiency in the language is not necessary to immerse yourself in and enjoy many attractions of life in China. The one thing that truly makes me feel comfortable and alleviates loneliness is making friends and engaging in conversation.At Tsinghua University，where I pursued my studies in China，I made friends with many Chinese young people and relished spending time with them，be it for meals or leisure activities.I've been delighted to sing Chinese songs with my friends.I would also sing well­known Japanese songs，such as Lemon，which is very popular in China.I felt that connecting with my Chinese peers through a shared passion，such as singing，was incredibly enjoyable and beautiful.It transcended language barriers and fostered a sense of unity and joy that was truly special. During breaks from study，I frequently embarked on solo journeys across China.Although I have experienced traveling on overnight trains for over 12 hours several times and explored unfamiliar cities，I never felt fearful or unwelcome as a foreigner.Chinese people are consistently warm and welcoming to foreigners，and eager to engage in conversation. I once participated in community activities in northwest China's Gansu Province to gain a deeper understanding of China's rural areas and contribute to the development of local communities and education.As a volunteer teacher at a local school，I shared contemporary and traditional Japanese culture such as anime，architecture，pop music and languages with the students.Since Japanese kanji originated in China，there are many similarities between the Japanese and Chinese languages. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍作者来中国学习、旅行和工作的经历，讲述了其所见所闻所感。 1．What is necessary for the author to enjoy attractions of life in China? A．Having proficiency in Chinese. B．Befriending foreign tourists. C．Setting out on solo journeys alone. D．Communicating with Chinese locals. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The one thing that truly...making friends and engaging in conversation”可知，真正让作者感到舒适和减轻孤独的一件事是交朋友并参与到交谈之中。文中的“feel comfortable”与题干中的“enjoy attractions of life”表达意思吻合，因此可推断，与中国当地人交流是作者享受中国生活魅力的必要条件。故选D。 2．What does the underlined word “relished” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Advocated. B．Enjoyed. C．Postponed. D．Avoided. 解析　B　词义猜测题。 根据画线词上文的“I made friends with many Chinese young people and”以及后文“spending time with them，be it for meals or leisure activities”可知，作者结交了许多中国的年轻朋友，并花时间与他们在一起，无论是吃饭还是进行休闲活动，由此可推断作者应该是开心、享受的。故画线词的意思是“享受”，与B项意思一致。advocate“提倡”，postpone “推迟”，avoid“避免”。 3．How did the author develop the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By making comparison. D．By setting questions. 解析　B　推理判断题。文章中作者通过分享自己在中国学习、旅行的经历，以及在中国甘肃社区活动中的具体例子来展开论述。由此可推知，作者通过举例来展开文章。故选B。 4．What is the author's impression of Chinese people? A．Hospitable. B．Cautious. C．Punctual. D．Smart. 解析　A　细节理解题。 倒数第二段谈到作者对中国人的看法“Chinese people are consistently warm and welcoming to foreigners，and eager to engage in conversation (中国人一贯热情地欢迎外国人，并渴望与他们交谈)”。由此可知，作者对中国人的印象是好客的。故选A。cautious“小心的，谨慎的”，punctual “守时的”，smart“聪明的”。 B (2024·石家庄教学质检)Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some，but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions，some of which are involved in learning and memory，a new study shows. In the study，psychologists Audrey van der Meer and Ruud van der Weel，both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology，stuck electrodes(电极) on the participants' heads.They asked the participants to type out or handwrite with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen.Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity.Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time.This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain. With handwriting，the researchers saw increased activity，specifically in low frequency bands，not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning.These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes.When the team compared the two tasks，they realized that handwriting—but not typing—increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions，which are involved in sensory and motor processing，and central regions，many of which are involved in memory.“Even when the movements are very similar，the activation seems much，much higher in handwriting，” Audrey says.“It shows that there's more involvement of these brain regions when you're writing by hand，which might give you some specific advantages.” These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes.This boost of stimulation facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (把……编码). And although handwriting may help with learning processes，typing is often easier，faster and more practical.“Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to write or type，” Audrey says.Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy，experts say that handwriting shouldn't be left behind in the digital age.“Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design，” Ruud says. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。来自挪威科技大学的一项新研究发现，手写可以增强大脑各区域的连接，其中一些区域与学习和记忆有关，即手写可能有助于学习过程。 5．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research? A．They tested the function of electrodes. B．They analyzed the brain structure. C．They monitored the brain activities. D．They recorded the writing speed. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the study，psychologists Audrey...Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time”可知，挪威科技大学的心理学家Audrey van der Meer和Ruud van der Weel将电极贴在参与者的头上，要求参与者打出或用电子笔手写出出现在电脑屏幕上的单词，帽子上的传感器记录大脑的电活动。然后他们观察两个大脑区域的活跃情况。由此可知，Audrey和Ruud在他们的研究中主要监视参与者的大脑活动，故选C。 6．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing? A．It involves more specific brain activation. B．It promotes better muscle memory. C．It allows for more innovative thinking. D．It encourages better concentration. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“they realized that handwriting—but not typing—increased the connectivity across　parietal (顶叶) brain regions...are involved in memory”可知，研究人员意识到手写增加了大脑顶叶区域和中央区域之间的连接，顶叶区域与感觉和运动神经处理有关，中央区域中有许多区域与记忆有关。由此可知，手写比打字更能促进学习的原因是手写涉及更多特定的大脑活动，故选A。 7．What's the author's attitude toward typing? A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 解析　B　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“although handwriting may help with learning processes，typing is often easier，faster and more practical.‘Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to write or type，’”可知，作者认为虽然手写可能有助于学习过程，但打字通常更容易、更快、更实用，接着作者引用Audrey的话，“学生和老师都应该考虑手头的任务来决定是手写还是打字”。由此可知，作者认为手写和打字各有优点，我们应该根据手头任务来决定用哪一种方式，即作者对打字持客观态度，故选B。 8．What might be the best title for the text? A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class B．Using Keyboards is Recommended Due to Their Convenience C．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning D．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More than Typing Does 解析　D　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段可知，本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，即相比打字，手写可以增强大脑各区域的连接，其中一些区域与学习和记忆有关。故D项“手写比打字更能增强大脑连接”最适合作本文的标题。 Ⅱ.七选五 (2024·吉林三模)Tai Chi，a gentle martial art originating in China and involving slow movements with a focus on breathing and on what your body is doing in that moment，provides numerous benefits for both physical and mental well­being.Here are five convincing reasons to bring Tai Chi into your routine. •It's easy on the body. Tai Chi offers gentle exercise suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. 1 ，as muscles remain relaxed without any stretching or straining.It's an exercise that can be easily adapted for less able people，including those in wheelchairs. •It could prevent falls. A review of studies conducted in 2019 indicated that Tai Chi could lower the risk of falls among older people.Certainly，the emphasis is on balance，with sideways and backwards movements aiding in the strengthening of the muscles necessary for stability. 2 ． •It may boost brain power. 3 ．Research shows that practicing Tai Chi on a regular basis can enhance cognitive abilities in older adults，both those with and without memory issues.Given that it's considered safe and suitable for the elderly，this is a definite win. • 4 ． A reduction in stress and anxiety，along with an increase in confidence，is another mental health benefit of Tai Chi，as indicated by research findings，though further research is needed to comprehensively understand and confirm these effects. •You can do it at home. Attending classes can be beneficial for receiving structured instruction and connecting with like­minded individuals. 5 ，providing an alternative for practicing at home.You're bound to find one that matches your fitness level and exercise preferences.Practicing Tai Chi at home can also offer unparalleled convenience and flexibility. A．It has the feel­good factor B．It can improve heart health C．The benefits aren't just physical D．But there are videos available online too E．It also improve flexibility and spatial awareness F．Its low­impact nature minimizes the risk of joint injury G.You can share experiences with these people face­to­face [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍练习太极拳的五点好处。 1．解析　F　段中句设空主要从上下文的衔接入手。空后半句提到“因为肌肉在没有拉伸或绷紧的情况下保持放松”，这是对空处内容的原因解释。根据小标题“It's easy on the body”和空前的“Tai Chi offers gentle exercise”可知，空处应该与太极拳舒缓的运动有关。故F项“它的低冲击特性最大程度地降低了关节损伤的风险”符合语境。选项中的Its是上文Tai Chi的形容词性物主代词。 2．解析　E　根据小标题“它可以防止摔倒”以及空前提到的“(太极拳的)重点在于平衡，侧身和后向的动作有助于加强肌肉的稳定性”可知，空处应该进一步说明练太极拳可以防止摔倒的原因，所以E项“它还提高了灵活性和空间意识”符合语境。E项中的It指代上文的Tai Chi。 3．解析　C　分析语篇结构，并结合本段对应小标题“太极拳可以提升脑力”可知，文章给出的练太极拳的五个原因中，前两个是身体方面的好处，第三个开始介绍它的其他优点。所以C项“好处不仅限于身体上的”，呼应上文和本段小标题，并且与下文中的“enhance cognitive abilities in older adults (提升老年人的认知能力)” 衔接紧密。 4．解析　A　段落主旨句。下文提到“太极拳的另一个心理健康益处是减轻压力和焦虑，并增加信心”，所以此处小标题应是点明太极拳对心理产生的影响。A项“它有让人们感觉良好的因素”和心理健康相呼应。 5．解析　D　本段第一句提到练习太极拳可以去参加线下课程。结合段落小标题“你可以在家练太极拳”可知，本段主要讲如何可以在家练习太极拳。D项“但网上也有视频可供观看”，即不需要参加线下课程，在家可以通过网上视频进行练习，契合本段小标题，与上文内容形成转折关系。 Ⅲ.语法填空 Acupuncture (针灸) has been a treatment for countless patients for thousands of years in China.Before modern medicine came to life，stone tools 1.
