Typing.com is an online typing tutor for students of all ages. Typing.com’s proven curriculum helps
students from beginners to advanced learners, focusing on technique, accuracy, and speed. The following
are some frequently asked questions about typing on our website.
How long does it take to type without looking at the keyboard?
An average student without learning differences will learn to touch type within eight to ten hours.
They may be touch typing at a very slow speed (8-15 words per minute).
Is it bad to look at the keyboard when typing?
Yes. Not only does it prevent you from practicing your fingering, but it also slows you down and
makes you type less accurately. It's far more difficult to notice mistakes when you're not looking at the
screen.
How do you get faster at typing?
The most important technique to learn to type faster is touch typing. This is a technique based on
developing muscle memory for your fingers.
How can I learn to type correctly?
Focus on accuracy rather than speed. Use the entire keyboard correctly. Learn some keyboard
shortcuts. Practice every day.
How do I increase my typing speed?
Arrange your fingers properly. The most important step in improving your typing speed is ensuring
that you place your fingers correctly on the keyboard. Rest the index finger (食指) of your left hand on
the “F” key and the index finger of your right hand on the “J” key.

Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”.
She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age
of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing
I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I
thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a
place on a stage of her own making.
All her life she has written is mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was
nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a
lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education
— she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these
results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be
excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”
After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities.
She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心 的职业 ),” she says. She
published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood
studies.
Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I
allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.
“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms
with the things that happen in life,” she says.
Does she still feel like an outsider?
“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to
wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I
wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”
64. How did Dickins feel about her debut?
A. Nervous. B. Anxious. C. Encouraged. D. Relieved.
65. Why was Dickins lacking in a sense of belonging?
A. Her early stay at the care home. B. Her inexperienced writing skills.
C. Her struggle with her university studies. D. Her poor relationship with her husband.
66. How does writing benefit Dickins?
A. It helps her land a good job. B. It develops her sense of humor.
C. It makes her overcome her learning disabilities. D. It enables her to get on well with her life.
67. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Mary Dickins’ First Performance B. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60
C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career D. Mary Dickins’ Influence on Performance Poets
C
As AI art generators (生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should
count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means
there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can
produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to
represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto
these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking
someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is
driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a
keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s
painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an
artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿 ) the work of existing artists to create a new piece
according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the
original artists sue for copyright (版权 ) violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial
intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as
marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated
painting wins an award, who gets the prize?
68. What does the underlined word “flaws” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Benefits. B. Advances. C. Weaknesses. D. Standards.
69. How is AI art different from human art?
A. It is the product of experience. B. It costs less money to produce.
C. It combines different styles of work. D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.

70. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph?
A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
71. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.

Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a
nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at
sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one
hole, baleen whales, such as humpback and Rice’s whales, have two.
Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species, they are close
together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a
marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two
nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).
Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch
by filtering them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths.
But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory
(嗅觉的) bulb (球状物) — the part of the brain that processes smell — is absent in such creatures. But
baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed
give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物 ).
When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dim-ethyl sulphide (二甲硫), which in turn
attracts baleen whales.
Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare
the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from
which a sound is coming. Dr. Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same
sorts of benefits.
The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that
bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14
different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right
whale (北大西洋露脊鲸), have nostrils that are farther apart than those, such as humpback whales (座头
鲸), that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use
their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.
72. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?
A. They are developed merely for smell. B. They are adapted ones.
C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are not fixed universally in numbers.
73. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?
A. The smell that phytoplankton send. B. The teeth that baleen whales have.
C. The sound waves that zooplankton create. D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.
74. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?
A. By quoting a theory. B. By making a contrast.
C. By using examples. D. By making inferences.
75. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?
A. The ability to give off smells. B. The possibility to attract food.
C. The ability to communicate. D. The ability to locate food.

多余选项。
During your teenage years, your body goes through many changes, and you may or may not like how
your body develops. You start forming an image of your body. ___76___
You can develop either a positive or negative body image, depending on your mindset.
One of the major contributors of a negative body image is peer pressure. Even if you do not think
you are being bullied by your group of friends, you may be laughed at casually about your appearance or
you may simply notice that they seem more “perfect” than you. This can have a negative impact on your
body image. ___77___ Often, an ideal body type is promoted heavily on social networks. Culture may
also have a negative impact on one’s body image. If your culture values a particular body image, then that
would make you unhappy if you don’t match it.
A negative body image increases the risk of unhealthy behaviors like extreme dieting, overeating,
over exercising, isolation, and risky surgeries. It also lowers life satisfaction and can lead to unhappiness.
___78___
To have a more positive body image, first accept that we are all unique individuals. Imagine if
everyone looked the same, the world would be a boring place. ___79___ Beauty standards keep changing
all the time. What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but,
in fact, much of it is due to makeup, angles and lighting and Photoshop!
___80___ Avoid commenting on others’ looks, and you will stop criticizing yourself too. If you have
peers who constantly comment about your appearance, it might be time to re-evaluate the company you
keep.
Remember, your body image is simply YOUR perception (感知) of your body. This means YOU
have the power to change this, even if you do not have the ability to change the perception of others.

C. It is simply how you see, think and feel about yourself.

For decades, school education ___96___ (lay) too much emphasis on the score one gets in exams
and ignored other aspects of children's ___97___ (person) development such as physical education and
basic life skills. Partly as a result of this, many young people are ___98___ (able) to cook a simple meal,

an independent course.
In the coming semester in September, primary and secondary school pupils will find ___101___ new
“practical activities” course in their schedule, with at least one class hour every week. Some complain
that much of pupils' time and energy might ___102___ (occupy),but the fact is ___103___ learning

learning how to cook two or three ___105___ (dish) and designing a nutritious recipe, for instance, are
skills that cultivate children's independence and foster a good work spirit.
