As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide spread among university students.Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It's faster and easier to correct the mistakes if using a computer.And that's why computers are being used more and more often in modern education.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about.Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital, said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer's emotion.Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory (必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
4.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because ________.
A.they are usually asked to email their homework and essays
B.they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
C.they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
D.computers have become a trend and fashion in China
5.Which of the following statements is NOT true about advantages of handwriting?
A.Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B.Handwriting can impress people well and build their selfconfidence.
C.The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
D.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
6.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ________.
A.more and more students will give up writing on a computer
B.writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
C.the typing article better expresses one's feelings and quality
D.more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
7.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A.To Type or to Handwrite?
B.The Importance of Handwriting and Typing
C.Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters

C
Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let's go to the beach!
For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun's powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks.
Making sandcastles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sanddigging tools — like a shovel (铁铲) — and a bucket is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today's expression: “bringing sand to the beach.”
“Bringing sand to the beach”describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are futile. This means serving no purpose.
To bring sand to the beach can also mean overkill. Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach.
We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant.” With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant).
8.What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 2?
A.Activities on a beach trip.
B.Necessary things for an enjoyable beach trip.
C.Pleasure enjoyed on a beach.
D.Ways to make a trip comfortable.
9.What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Useless. B.Common. C.Dangerous. D.Meaningful.
10.What does the author think of the flowers brought to the opening of a flower store?
A.They are sweet. B.They are proper gifts.
C.They are not good enough. D.They are not needed there.
11.Which saying has the similar meaning to “bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”?
A.Seeing is believing.
B.Killing two birds with one stone.
C.Teaching a fish how to swim.
D.Thinking twice before you jump.

Ⅱ.七选五
The Feynman Technique(费曼学习法)is a powerful method that you can use to learn anything faster because it forces you to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else talk about it. You can take the following five simple steps to study better.
·Find out the topic you want to learn.__1__. Otherwise, you'll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
·Explain the topic as if teaching a sixthgrader. This step is the heart of the FeynmanTechnique—__2__.This requires you to meet the child at their level of understanding by using the simplest way.
·Identify areas of improvement in your explanation. You'll need to critically(批判性地)review the explanation you came up with in Step Two.__3__. Try to find any knowledge gaps, together with any areas where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply.
·Improve and optimize(优化) your explanation. Think about all the knowledge gaps and other areas of improvement you found before.__4__.
· Repeat the steps until you've achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step you're fully satisfied with your explanation.__5__, and that is why going through all the prior steps just once is usually not enough to achieve topic mastery.
A.Use those to improve your explanation
B.To do so, take a critical look at your explanation
C.Make sure that your explanation is interestbased
D.Your explanations need to be short and to the point
E.The Feynman Technique works best with a repeat
F.It's important that you clearly know the topics you're trying to learn
G.Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixthgrade student
Ⅲ.语法填空

The word we choose sets the 2.________(begin) for the whole communication, and in turn, shapes the future of 3.________(we) relationship with others.

[读与练·阅读限时训练四]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要推荐了适合高中生暑期阅读的一些书籍。
1.A 推理判断题。根据The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan下面的“The four Chinese women have to solve a lot of problems caused by different cultures.(四位中国女性必须解决由不同文化造成的许多问题。)”可知,The Joy Luck Club讲述了四位中国女性解决不同文化造成的问题,由此可推测出,读者可以从这本书中了解文化差异。故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Kidd下面的“During the civil rights(公民权) movement of the mid1960s, a young white Southern girl goes on the lam(逃走) with her family's AfricanAmerican housekeeper, hoping to solve the mystery of her mother who gave her up.(在20世纪60年代中期的民权运动中,一个年轻的南方白人女孩和她家的非裔美国管家一起逃亡,希望解开她母亲抛弃她的谜团。)”可知,The Secret Life of Bees主要讲述了一个年轻女孩试图了解关于母亲抛弃她的原因的故事。故选D。
3.D 写作目的题。根据文章首段“We studied reading lists from around the country and found the following books. There's a good chance you will open one of them this summer.(我们研究了全国各地的阅读清单,发现了以下书籍。今年夏天你很有可能打开它们其中一本。)”并结合下文分别介绍的书籍信息可知,本篇文章旨在给高中生介绍一些适合暑期阅读的书籍。故选D。
B
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。随着电脑越来越流行,中国人写汉字越来越少,这也带来了很多问题,引起了人们的担心。为了鼓励学生多用手写,许多学校进行了一系列的活动来锻炼学生的书写能力。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It's faster and easier to correct the mistakes if using a computer.And that's why computers are being used more and more often in modern education.”可知,用电脑输入修改错误很方便,这是人们使用电脑的主要原因,故选C。
5.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Shi Liwei, ... said, ‘Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value ...And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.’” 可知,A、C、D三项都是手写汉字的优点,只有B项文章没有提及,故选B。
6.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and ... will give people a better first impression of them.”可知,用手书写有许多好处。最后一段内容说明北京许多小学也鼓励学生多用手写,大学教授要求学生交手写的作业和论文。由此可推断出,越来越多的学生会注意自己的书写。故选D。
7.A 标题归纳题。主题句是第一段中的“But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper.”并结合最后一段内容可知,全文是关于电脑输入和手写汉字的问题。文章反复出现的单词是type、handwrite,这与选项A中的To Type or to Handwrite?相照应。分析选项可知,A符合题意,故选A。
C
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个英语习语Bringing sand to the beach(把沙子带到海滩)。这个习语指的是毫无意义和不必要的行为。
8.B 主旨大意题。根据第二段“For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun's powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks.(去海滩旅行,我们带几样东西,可以使旅行更愉快。例如,沙滩巾让坐在沙滩上更舒服。有些人选择带一把沙滩椅。一把沙滩伞可以保护你免受强烈的阳光照射。在海里游泳真的会让你很饿。所以很多人带冷藏箱来装食物和饮料。)”可知,作者在第二段主要告诉我们愉快的海滩之旅必备的东西。故选B。
9.A 词句猜测题。根据画线单词前一句“‘Bringing sand to the beach’ describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary.(‘把沙子带到海滩’描述的是毫无意义和不必要的行为。)”以及画线单词后一句“This means serving no purpose.(这意味着没有任何意义。)”可推知,此处为这些行动是徒劳的。由此推知,画线单词futile意思是“无用的”,与useless是同义词。故选A。
10.D 推理判断题。根据第五段的“For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach.(例如,带鲜花去花店开业就像把沙子带到海滩。)”可知,在花店开业时带花就像把沙子带到海滩上一样。由此推知,那里不需要这些花。故选D。
11.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant).[这也意味着你带来的东西(三明治)的质量比你在这个地方(餐馆)找到的要差。]”可知,这也意味着你带来的东西质量不如你在那里能找到的东西。由此可知,“bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”这句话的意思和“Teaching a fish how to swim(班门弄斧)”意思相近。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五

2.G 根据空前“Explain the topic as if teaching a sixthgrader. This step is the heart of the FeynmanTechnique(像教六年级学生一样解释这个话题。这一步是费曼技巧的核心)”其中sixthgrader和选项中照应词sixthgrade student;以及空后“This requires you to meet the child at their level of understanding by using the simplest way.(这就要求你用最简单的方式满足孩子的理解水平。)”可知,满足孩子理解水平需要简洁解释,故G项“Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixthgrade student.(简洁明了地解释这个主题,足以让一个六年级的学生理解。)”符合语境。故选G。
3.B 根据空前“You'll need to critically(批判性地)review the explanation you came up with in Step Two.(您需要批判性地回顾您在第二步中提出的解释。)”可知,下面介绍了如何批判性回顾这个解释,B项“To do so, take a critical look at your explanation.(要做到这一点,你需要批判性地看看你的解释。)”符合语境。故选B。

Ⅲ.语法填空
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“你好”这个词在我们的日常生活中是一个非常常见的词。我们选择的词语为整个交流设定了开端,并且反过来塑造了我们与他人的未来关系。
1.which 考查定语从句。句意:“你好”在我们的日常生活中是一个非常常见的词,它总是强调我们如何问候别人的重要性。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Hello,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。

5.comes 考查固定搭配。句意: 知道如何用不同的语言打招呼总是与世界其他地方交流的第一步。when it comes to固定句型,意为“当提到……”,故填comes。
6.more important 考查比较级。句意:当你学习一门新语言时,“你好”比其他任何单词都更重要。由than可知,此处应用important的比较级作表语,故填more important。
7.forms 考查名词的数。句意:现在让我们学习世界各地不同语言中的一些不同形式的“你好”: 英语中的“Hello”;汉语中的“你好”;法语中的“Bonjour”;西班牙语中的“Hola”。此处应用名词form作宾语,由some可知,应用复数形式,故填forms。
8.interesting 考查形容词。句意:让你为某些情况做好准备不是很有趣吗?此处应用形容词作表语,表示“有趣的”为形容词interesting,故填interesting。
9.on/upon 考查介词。句意:打招呼的方式可以根据一天中的不同时间,或者你和你要打招呼的人的关系而改变。depend on/upon固定搭配,意为“依靠,取决于”,故填on/upon。
