C 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章邀请喜爱素描和绘画的人参加第五届年度冬季封面竞赛。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Step 1: Be creative下的“Once you get started, make sure you create your submission in color.(一旦你开始创作，一定要确保你的作品是彩色的)”可知，作品要求是彩色的，所以一个黑色和白色的设计是不合格的。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Step 3: Meet the deadline下的“The deadline to enter the contest is November 13.(参加比赛的截止日期是11月13日)”可知，截止日期是11月13日，所以只有11月12日可以提交作品。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The prize下的“The grand prize winner will be featured on the front cover of an upcoming issue. Runners-up and finalists may be featured inside the magazine.(大奖得主将登上下一期杂志的封面。亚军和决赛选手可能会出现在杂志中)”可知，获胜者的作品将在首页上展示。故选C项。 B When I read the novel Journey to the West during my childhood, the character I hated most was the monk Xuanzang, not only because he was weak and talked on and on, but because even as a so-called “enlightened monk”, he surprisingly took control of the pain and joy of the Monkey King who was the hero in my heart. I hated the Gold Hoop on the head of the monkey king so much. However, as I have grown up, I have gradually realized that everyone of us is a Monkey King while the various rules of life are the invisible incantations (咒语) of the Gold Hoop. We can’t make a good living without them. Before I went to the US, I believed that high school here would be paradise. Here, I could lead a life without as many rules as I had in China. But the moment I arrived, I found out that I was totally wrong. There were all the new rules to learn. Our Honor Code forbids drinking alcohol and cheating on exams or homework. Anyone who breaks the code can be expelled. In addition, we have the thick Blue Book, which regulates our behavior in life, schoolwork as well as sports. It is easy to ignore these rules, but once you violate one, you get a point on your demerit record. If you get five points in a week, you have to spend your beautiful Saturday night studying in the classroom under the watch of a teacher. Fortunately, I haven’t gotten any demerit points so far, although I do make lots of small mistakes. Actually, I now think that the existence of the invisible incantations of the “Gold Hoop” is not such a bad thing. As the saying goes, “only the fittest will survive”, so we must learn to get used to the various rules of our societies. 4. Why did the writer hate the monk Xuanzang most as a child? A. Because he hated the Gold Hoop so much. B. Because he was a so-called “enlightened” monk. C. Because he was weak and curious about everything. D. Because he controlled the Monkey King with the Gold Hoop. 5. What’s the author’s attitude towards rules of life as he grew up? A. People who follow them can be expelled. B. They are easy to ignore. C. People can’t lead a good life without them. D. They regulate our behavior in life 6. The underlined word “violate” in the last Paragraph but one most probably means ________. A. Break B. Illustrate C. Respect D. Replace 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Look before you leap. B. A good beginning is half done. C. A bird in hand is worth than two in the bush. D. Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自身的经历，对《西游记》中唐僧和金箍的看法发生了转变，展示了作者从反抗规则到理解规则的经过，阐述了规则对生活的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I read the novel Journey to the West during my childhood, the character I hated most was the monk Xuanzang, not only because he was weak and talked on and on, but because even as a so-called “enlightened monk”, he surprisingly took control of the pain and joy of the Monkey King who was the hero in my heart. I hated the Gold Hoop on the head of the monkey king so much.(小时候读《西游记》时，我最讨厌的人物是唐僧玄奘，不仅因为他软弱，说个没完没了，还因为即使作为一个所谓的“高僧”，他也出人意料地控制了我心目中的英雄孙悟空的痛苦和快乐。我非常讨厌孙悟空头上的金箍)”可知，因为玄奘用金箍控制了孙悟空，所以作者小时候最讨厌他。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, as I have grown up, I have gradually realized that everyone of us is a Monkey King while the various rules of life are the invisible incantations (咒语) of the Gold Hoop. We can’t make a good living without them.(然而，随着我的成长，我逐渐意识到我们每个人都是一个孙悟空，而生活的各种规则是金环的隐形咒语。没有他们，我们就不能过上好日子)”可知，作者长大后对生活规则的态度是：没有规则，人们就无法过上美好的生活。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“you get a point on your demerit record. If you get five points in a week, you have to spend your beautiful Saturday night studying in the classroom under the watch of a teacher. Fortunately, I haven’t gotten any demerit points so far, although I do make lots of small mistakes.(你的记过记录上就会有一分。如果你在一周内得了五分，你就得在老师的监视下在教室里度过你美丽的周六晚上。幸运的是，到目前为止，我还没有得到任何扣分，尽管我确实犯了很多小错误)”可知，犯错才会记一分，且不是小错误，推知应是违反校规，所以violate应是“违反”之意，和A项“Break”意思相近。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, as I have grown up, I have gradually realized that everyone of us is a Monkey King while the various rules of life are the invisible incantations (咒语) of the Gold Hoop. We can’t make a good living without them.(然而，随着我的成长，我逐渐意识到我们每个人都是一个孙悟空，而生活的各种规则是金环的隐形咒语。没有他们，我们就不能过上好日子)”以及最后一段“Actually, I now think that the existence of the invisible incantations of the “Gold Hoop” is not such a bad thing. As the saying goes, “only the fittest will survive”, so we must learn to get used to the various rules of our societies.(实际上，我现在觉得，生活中那些无形如‘金箍咒’般的规则的存在，并非什么坏事。俗话说得好，‘适者生存’，所以我们必须学会适应社会中的各种规则)”可知，本文主要讲述了没有规范和标准，什么事情也做不成；从文章我们能够学到的是没有规矩不成方圆（Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards.）。故选D项。 。 C Roman art dating back thousands of years was recently uncovered in the ancient ruins of Pompeii, Italy. The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the year 79, and much of it was preserved under thick layers of stone and ash. Archaeologists have been working to dig out the remains of Pompeii for hundreds of years. UNESCO named it a World Heritage site and said it “provides a complete picture of an ancient Roman city.” The recent discovery is the most important in many years. Experts unearthed a grand house, where the three letters- “ARV” were carved on the walls. This suggested that the home belonged to Aulus Rustius Verus, a wealthy Pompeii politician. The team found a large dining hall that was nearly undestroyed. It is about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide and has a mosaic floor made up of more than a million white tiles (瓷砖). Its walls were painted black and decorated with frescoes, artwork made using an old technique of painting with watercolors on wet plaster (灰泥). The frescoes describe characters from Greek mythology and tell stories of heroism and fate. The hall would have been an elegant setting for entertaining guests, the archaeologists said. As people dined in the room, flickering candlelight would have made the figures seem to move. “Pompeii is truly a treasure chest,” Italy’s culture minister, Gennaro Sangiuliano, said of the recent discovery. “Every time we dig, we find something beautiful and significant.” 8. What do we know about Pompeii city? A. It is where some Roman art works were recently unearthed. B. Its destruction in 79 BC was due to a volcanic eruption. C. It is not on the World Heritage site list. D. It is a modern Italian city. 9. What is the new discovery about? A. A world heritage site named by UNESCO in Pompeii. B. An ancient wealthy politician’s home in Pompeii, Italy C. Pompeii city destroyed by a volcanic eruption. D. Walls in a dining hall decorated with frescoes. 10. What is fresco according to paragraph 2? A. It is a kind of artwork painted on the mosaic wall. B. Its content describes characters from Roman mythology. C. It is a sort of painting skill using watercolors on wet plaster. D. It is a type of painting applying ancient skills of using watercolors. 11. Where can we find this text? A. In a magazine B. In an advertisement C. In a brochure D. In an encyclopedia 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。报道了最近在意大利庞贝古城古迹中发现的罗马艺术。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Roman art dating back thousands of years was recently uncovered in the ancient ruins of Pompeii, Italy. The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the year 79, and much of it was preserved under thick layers of stone and ash.(数千年前的罗马艺术最近在意大利庞贝古城遗址中被发现。这座城市在公元79年的一次火山爆发中被摧毁，大部分被厚厚的石头和火山灰保存了下来)”可知，最近在庞贝古城遗址中出土了一些罗马艺术作品。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The recent discovery is the most important in many years. Experts unearthed a grand house, where the three letters- “ARV” were carved on the walls. This suggested that the home belonged to Aulus Rustius Verus, a wealthy Pompeii politician.(最近的发现是多年来最重要的。专家们发掘出一座宏伟的房子，墙上刻着三个字母——“ARV”。这表明这座房子属于庞贝一位富有的政治家Aulus Rustius Verus)”可知，这个新发现是关于意大利庞贝的一个古代富有政治家的家。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It is about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide and has a mosaic floor made up of more than a million white tiles (瓷砖). Its walls were painted black and decorated with frescoes, artwork made using an old technique of painting with watercolors on wet plaster (灰泥).(它长约50英尺，宽约20英尺，地板由100多万块白色瓷砖拼接而成。它的墙壁被漆成黑色，装饰着壁画，这是一种古老的在湿石膏上画水彩画的艺术作品)”可知，壁画是一种在湿石膏上使用水彩的绘画技巧。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Roman art dating back thousands of years was recently uncovered in the ancient ruins of Pompeii, Italy. The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the year 79, and much of it was preserved under thick layers of stone and ash. Archaeologists have been working to dig out the remains of Pompeii for hundreds of years. UNESCO named it a World Heritage site and said it “provides a complete picture of an ancient Roman city.”(AI润色1459/5000数千年前的罗马艺术最近在意大利庞贝古城遗址中被发现。这座城市在公元79年的一次火山爆发中被摧毁，大部分被厚厚的石头和火山灰保存了下来。几百年来，考古学家一直在努力挖掘庞贝古城的遗迹。联合国教科文组织将其命名为世界遗产，并表示它“提供了一个古罗马城市的完整画面”)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要报道了最近在意大利庞贝古城古迹中发现的罗马艺术，是一篇报道，所以最有可能刊登在杂志上。故选A项。 D In an ever more digital world, pen and paper are increasingly getting replaced with screens and keyboards in classrooms. Now, a new study has investigated neural (神经的) networks in the brain during handwriting and typewriting. The researchers showed that connectivity between different brain regions is more elaborate (复杂的) when letters are formed by hand. This improved brain connectivity, which is important to memory building and information encoding, may indicate that writing by hand supports learning. To find out if the process of forming letters by hand resulted in greater brain connectivity, researchers in Norway now investigated the underlying neural networks involved in both modes of writing. When writing, they used a digital pen to write in cursive directly on a touchscreen. When typing they used a single finger to press keys on a keyboard. High-density EEGs, which measure electrical activity in the brain using 256 small sensors sewn in a net and placed over the head, were recorded for five seconds for every prompt (计算机屏幕上的提示符). The result shows connectivity of different brain regions increased when participants wrote by hand, but not when they typed. The simple movement of hitting a key with the same finger repeatedly is less stimulating (刺激) for the brain. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet, can have difficulty telling differences between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They literally haven’ t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters,” Meer said. Their findings demonstrate the need to give students the opportunity to use pens, rather than having them type during class, the researchers said. Guidelines to ensure that students receive at least a minimum of handwriting instruction could be an adequate step. For example, cursive writing training has been re-implemented in many US states at the beginning of the year. 12. Which statement is true about the new study according to paragraph 1? A. Neural networks in the brain grow during writing. B. Brain connectivity is only important to memory building. C. Keyboards have replaced the pens and paper in classrooms. D. Hand writing improves brain connectivity which supports learning. 13. How did the researchers do the experiment? A. By analysing the process of forming letters. B. By doing the questionnaire among the students. C. By comparing neural networks in two writing ways. D. By using a digital pen to write on a touchscreen. 14. Why does the author quote Meer’s saying? A. To show hitting a key stimulates the brain. B. To further prove the importance of handwriting. C. To highlight children have difficulty in telling ‘b’ from ‘d’. D. To explain children feel with their bodies during producing letters. 15. Which structure is right about the text? A. Result-Process-Difference-Suggestion B. Background-Process-Result-Demonstration C. Conclusion-Investigation-Result-Demonstration D. Introduction-Research Method-Result-Recommendation 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究，研究对比了手写和打字时大脑神经网络的情况，发现手写能改善大脑连接性，有助于学习，并给出了相应建议。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The researchers showed that connectivity between different brain regions is more elaborate (复杂的) when letters are formed by hand. This improved brain connectivity, which is important to memory building and information encoding, may indicate that writing by hand supports learning.(研究人员表明，当用手书写字母时，不同大脑区域之间的连接更加复杂。这种改善的大脑连接性，对记忆构建和信息编码很重要，可能表明手写有助于学习)” 可知，手写能改善大脑连接性，这有助于学习。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“To find out if the process of forming letters by hand resulted in greater brain connectivity, researchers in Norway now investigated the underlying neural networks involved in both modes of writing.(为了弄清楚用手书写字母的过程是否会导致更大的大脑连接性，挪威的研究人员现在研究了两种书写模式所涉及的潜在神经网络)” 可知，研究人员是通过比较两种书写方式下的神经网络来做实验的。故选 C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 “The simple movement of hitting a key with the same finger repeatedly is less stimulating (刺激) for the brain. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet, can have difficulty telling differences between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They literally haven’ t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters,” Meer said.(用同一根手指反复按键的简单动作对大脑的刺激较小。“这也解释了为什么在平板电脑上学习书写和阅读的孩子，很难区分像‘b’和‘d’这样互为镜像的字母之间的差异。他们实际上并没有用身体感觉到写出这些字母是什么感觉，” 米尔说)” 可推知，作者引用米尔的话是为了进一步证明手写的重要性。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段先介绍了在越来越数字化的世界里，手写和打字的背景情况并引出新研究，这是 “Introduction（介绍）”；第二段讲述了研究人员通过对比两种书写方式下的神经网络来做实验的方法，即 “Research Method（研究方法）”；第三段给出了实验的结果，即手写时大脑区域连接增加，打字时没有，这是 “Result（结果）”；第四段研究人员根据结果给出了建议，即给学生使用笔的机会，制定手写指导方针等，这是 “Recommendation（建议）”。所以文章结构是 “Introduction-Research Method-Result-Recommendation”，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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Self-care: A Necessity for Well-being Self-care is essential for reducing stress and improving well-being, as it can help ease or relieve anxiety, depression, and anger while increasing happiness and energy. ___16___ College students, especially student-athletes. often struggle to find time for self-care due to their demanding schedules.

Frankly speaking, Anthony was neither the brightest student, nor the most athletic in the school, but he had a real enthusiasm for learning and always approached his studies with strong curiosity. Every morning, he would greet the school day with a wide and genuine smile that brightened the entire classroom. His classmates couldn’t help but be influenced by his optimistic attitude towards life, which helped him become very popular and also form many friendships at school. One unexpected day the teacher announced a surprise test. It was a subject that Anthony had struggled with. Even more unfortunately, he was not fully prepared. As the papers were handed out, Anthony’s heart sank, and his mind went blank, with a wave of anxiety and nervousness flooding over him. He looked around, hoping for some comfort and encouragement, but all he saw were the focused expressions of his classmates. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the occasional sound of turning papers. As he began to write, Anthony realized that he knew only a fraction (小部分) of the answers. His mind raced, trying to recall anything that might help him, but in vain (徒劳的). Obviously, he was lost. Just then, a piece of paper flew across the room and landed on Anthony’s desk. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore it into pieces. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers. Anthony recognized the handwriting instantly — it was from his best friend, Mike. His heart pounded as he stared at the neatly written solutions. A part of him longed to copy them and avoid embarrassment, but memories of his teacher emphasizing honesty flashed through his mind. He glanced at Mike, who gave him an encouraging nod. However, Anthony recalled how his parents always told him that true success came from hard work, not shortcuts. The conflict within him grew fiercer. Para. 2 With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore it into pieces. He raised his hand and quietly informed the teacher about the incident. Though his voice trembled, he felt a wave of relief. To his surprise, the teacher praised his integrity and allowed him extra time to complete the test. Anthony answered the remaining questions calmly, doing his best. When the results came out, he scored lower than usual but earned everyone’s respect. That day, he learned that courage and honesty were far more valuable than perfect grades. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在声誉良好的奥尔巴尼小学，五年级学生安东尼热爱学习、乐观积极，在一次意外的考试中，面对自己不擅长且未充分准备的科目感到焦虑，此时朋友递来写有答案的纸条，安东尼在经历内心挣扎后做出正确选择的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那是他的一个朋友给他的一张纸条，告诉了他答案。”可知，第一段可描写安东尼面对答案时内心的矛盾与挣扎，以及回忆起老师、父母教导诚信的相关情节，为后文他的决定做铺垫 ②由第二段首句内容“安东尼深吸了一口气，拿起纸条，慢慢地把它撕成碎片。”可知，第二段可描写安东尼向老师说明情况，老师的反应，以及后续考试结果和这件事给他带来的成长与感悟，突出诚实的重要性。 2续写线索：收到答案纸条（矛盾纠结）——回忆老师和父母教导（内心挣扎）——决定拒绝作弊（撕毁纸条）——向老师说明情况（老师表扬）——完成考试（成绩虽低但获尊重）——得到成长感悟（诚实比成绩重要） 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认出：recognize/identify ②赞扬：praise/think highly of ③告知：inform/tell ④回忆：recall/remember 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②欣慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He glanced at Mike, who gave him an encouraging nod.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型 2】When the results came out, he scored lower than usual but earned everyone’s respect.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖北省市级示范高中智学联盟2024年秋季高一年级12月联考 英语试卷 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?

B When I read the novel Journey to the West during my childhood, the character I hated most was the monk Xuanzang, not only because he was weak and talked on and on, but because even as a so-called “enlightened monk”, he surprisingly took control of the pain and joy of the Monkey King who was the hero in my heart. I hated the Gold Hoop on the head of the monkey king so much. However as I have grown up, I have gradually realized that everyone of us is a Monkey King while the various rules of life are the invisible incantations (咒语) of the Gold Hoop. We can’t make a good living without them. Before I went to the US, I believed that high school here would be paradise. Here, I could lead a life without as many rules as I had in China. But the moment I arrived, I found out that I was totally wrong. There were all the new rules to learn. Our Honor Code forbids drinking alcohol and cheating on exams or homework. Anyone who breaks the code can be expelled. In addition, we have the thick Blue Book, which regulates our behavior in life, schoolwork as well as sports. It is easy to ignore these rules, but once you violate one, you get a point on your demerit record. If you get five points in a week, you have to spend your beautiful Saturday night studying in the classroom under the watch of a teacher. Fortunately, I haven’t gotten any demerit points so far, although I do make lots of small mistakes. Actually, I now think that the existence of the invisible incantations of the “Gold Hoop” is not such a bad thing. As the saying goes, “only the fittest will survive”, so we must learn to get used to the various rules of our societies. 4. Why did the writer hate the monk Xuanzang most as a child? A. Because he hated the Gold Hoop so much. B. Because he was a so-called “enlightened” monk. C. Because he was weak and curious about everything. D. Because he controlled the Monkey King with the Gold Hoop. 5. What’s the author’s attitude towards rules of life as he grew up? A. People who follow them can be expelled. B. They are easy to ignore. C. People can’t lead a good life without them. D. They regulate our behavior in life 6. The underlined word “violate” in the last Paragraph but one most probably means ________. A. Break B. Illustrate C. Respect D. Replace 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Look before you leap. B. A good beginning is half done. C. A bird in hand is worth than two in the bush. D. Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. C Roman art dating back thousands of years was recently uncovered in the ancient ruins of Pompeii, Italy. The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the year 79, and much of it was preserved under thick layers of stone and ash. Archaeologists have been working to dig out the remains of Pompeii for hundreds of years. UNESCO named it a World Heritage site and said it “provides a complete picture of an ancient Roman city.” The recent discovery is the most important in many years. Experts unearthed a grand house, where the three letters- “ARV” were carved on the walls. This suggested that the home belonged to Aulus Rustius Verus, a wealthy Pompeii politician. The team found a large dining hall that was nearly undestroyed. It is about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide and has a mosaic floor made up of more than a million white tiles (瓷砖). Its walls were painted black and decorated with frescoes, artwork made using an old technique of painting with watercolors on wet plaster (灰泥). The frescoes describe characters from Greek mythology and tell stories of heroism and fate. The hall would have been an elegant setting for entertaining guests, the archaeologists said. As people dined in the room, flickering candlelight would have made the figures seem to move. “Pompeii is truly a treasure chest,” Italy’s culture minister, Gennaro Sangiuliano, said of the recent discovery. “Every time we dig, we find something beautiful and significant.” 8 What do we know about Pompeii city? A. It is where some Roman art works were recently unearthed. B Its destruction in 79 BC was due to a volcanic eruption. C. It is not on the World Heritage site list. D. It is a modern Italian city. 9. What is the new discovery about? A. A world heritage site named by UNESCO in Pompeii. B. An ancient wealthy politician’s home in Pompeii, Italy C. Pompeii city destroyed by a volcanic eruption. D. Walls in a dining hall decorated with frescoes. 10. What is fresco according to paragraph 2? A. It is a kind of artwork painted on the mosaic wall. B. Its content describes characters from Roman mythology. C. It is a sort of painting skill using watercolors on wet plaster. D. It is a type of painting applying ancient skills of using watercolors. 11. Where can we find this text? A. In a magazine B. In an advertisement C. In a brochure D. In an encyclopedia D In an ever more digital world, pen and paper are increasingly getting replaced with screens and keyboards in classrooms. Now, a new study has investigated neural (神经的) networks in the brain during handwriting and typewriting. The researchers showed that connectivity between different brain regions is more elaborate (复杂的) when letters are formed by hand. This improved brain connectivity, which is important to memory building and information encoding, may indicate that writing by hand supports learning. To find out if the process of forming letters by hand resulted in greater brain connectivity, researchers in Norway now investigated the underlying neural networks involved in both modes of writing. When writing, they used a digital pen to write in cursive directly on a touchscreen. When typing they used a single finger to press keys on a keyboard. High-density EEGs, which measure electrical activity in the brain using 256 small sensors sewn in a net and placed over the head, were recorded for five seconds for every prompt (计算机屏幕上的提示符). The result shows connectivity of different brain regions increased when participants wrote by hand, but not when they typed. The simple movement of hitting a key with the same finger repeatedly is less stimulating (刺激) for the brain. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet, can have difficulty telling differences between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They literally haven’ t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters,” Meer said. Their findings demonstrate the need to give students the opportunity to use pens, rather than having them type during class, the researchers said. Guidelines to ensure that students receive at least a minimum of handwriting instruction could be an adequate step. For example, cursive writing training has been re-implemented in many US states at the beginning of the year. 12. Which statement is true about the new study according to paragraph 1? A. Neural networks in the brain grow during writing. B. Brain connectivity is only important to memory building. C. Keyboards have replaced the pens and paper in classrooms. D. Hand writing improves brain connectivity which supports learning. 13. How did the researchers do the experiment? A. By analysing the process of forming letters. B. By doing the questionnaire among the students. C. By comparing neural networks in two writing ways. D. By using a digital pen to write on a touchscreen. 14. Why does the author quote Meer’s saying? A. To show hitting a key stimulates the brain. B. To further prove the importance of handwriting. C. To highlight children have difficulty in telling ‘b’ from ‘d’. D.
