课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共17.5分)
A
(2024·河南郑州第二次质检)
THIS STREET IS OPEN FOR PLAY
Concerned about outdoor play in crowded cities? Start a play street—a community event where neighbors close their road to traffic, creating a safe space for children to play. This initiative allows kids and adults to explore, create and socialize, which, undoubtedly, will bring the bonds between neighbors to a new height.
Compared to the structured play with strict rules and fixed procedures, a play street allows children to lead, establish rules and get involved in an open-ended activity without specific instructions, methods or goals.
Getting Started:
1.Host a meeting to discuss benefits and encourage involvement. Choose an event date and assign tasks to the neighbors.
2.Reach out to the city council for necessary permits to close the road. Ignoring this will lead to the cancellation of the whole plan.
3.Use posters,flyers, and social media to spread the word. Use these promotion means to inform residents of the date, time and activities planned for the play street.
4.Set up barriers for safety, provide equipment and encourage neighbors' participation.
What to Expect:
•Game Areas:A variety of play equipment tailored for kids, such as jump ropes, balls,chalk for drawing, hula hoops and other outdoor games.
•Swapping Corner:A place where moms can bring unwanted items such as kitchenware,gardening tools or other household goods to exchange with each other.
•Arts and Crafts Seating: Arts and crafts seating with materials like paper, markers, crayons, paints and brushes. Children are encouraged to get creative and express themselves through art.
•Snack and Refreshment Station:Light refreshments like water, juice, fruit and healthy snacks to keep mixed-age participants energized. A potluck to share homemade treats and recipes.

(2024·河北石家庄教学质量检测一)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 and Ruud, 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 were 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 handwriting, 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 of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (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 handwrite 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.

解析:细节理解题。通读第二段尤其是“Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity.Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas were active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time.”可知,Audrey和Ruud在研究中的主要工作是监测大脑活动。故选C。

解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When the team compared the two tasks,they realized that handwriting—but not typing—increased the connectivity across parietal brain regions,which are involved in sensory and motor processing,and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.”可推知,手写比打字更能提高学习能力是因为它涉及更具体的大脑活动。故选A。

解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“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 handwrite or type,’Audrey says.”可知,作者并没有明显表现出对打字持支持或反对态度,而是客观地描述了打字和手写各自的优点。同时陈述了心理学家的观点:手写还是打字应视情况而定。由此可推知,作者对打字的态度是客观的。故选B。
