Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their broken vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 42,120 kilometers around the world and passed through over 35 countries. They did this to support the grass roots education projects in Africa, Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their journey was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometers away from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turn by Richard and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepén, Peru, they discovered a repairman who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed first-hand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees (难民) in camps in Eastern Burundi.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a U.K. registered charity. Talking about their motivation, Richard said, “The world’s leaders have made a commitment to achieve universal primary education but, in spite of this promise, over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, but still cannot access quality learning opportunities.”
4. Why did the two teachers travel around the world?
A. To give support to education projects. B. To create a new record in a journey.
C. To find like-minded teachers to work with. D. To explore landscapes of different countries.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Their achievements in fighting poverty. B. Their exciting experiences on the road.
C. The beautiful scenery of famous mountains. D. The difficulties and dangers of the journey.
6. Which of the following best describes the two teachers?

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 hand write 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 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 hand 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.
8 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.
9. 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.
10. What’s the author’s attitude toward typing?
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class
B. Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its Convenience
C. Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning
D. Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write 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. (在这项研究中,挪威科技大学的心理学家奥黛丽和鲁德把电极贴在参与者的头上。他们要求参与者用数字笔打出或手写出现在电脑屏幕上的单词。帽子上的传感器记录了大脑的电活动。然后,心理学家们寻找两个大脑区域在同一时间以相同的电波频率活跃的情况。)”可知,Audrey和Ruud在研究中主要监测大脑活动。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“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.(当研究小组比较这两项任务时,他们意识到手写——而不是打字——增加了大脑顶叶区域和中央区域之间的连通性,顶叶区域与感觉和运动处理有关,而中央区域中有许多与记忆有关。)”和后文“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.” (奥黛丽说:“即使动作非常相似,手写的激活程度似乎也要高得多。”“这表明,当你书写时,这些大脑区域的参与程度更高,这可能会给你带来一些特殊的优势。”)”可知,手写比打字更能改善学习因为它涉及更具体的大脑激活。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. (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。)”可知,作者对打字的态度是客观的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中“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. (一项新的研究表明,反复写同一个单词可能会让一些人回忆起不好的记忆,但手写可以增强大脑各区域的连通性,其中一些区域与学习和记忆有关。)”可知,文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。所以选项D“Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does (手写比打字更能增强大脑联系)”。故选D。

Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life and city people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
12. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?
A. Poor state of rural life. B. Shortage of food supply.
C. High costs for transporting crops. D. Environmental pollution.
13. What is the advantage of vertical farming?
A. It can benefit transport industry. B. It requires little care.
C. It can produce organic food. D. It needs very low cost.
14. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?
A. Farmable land. B. Light sources.
C. Crop diseases. D. Climate conditions.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Future Food Needs B. Symbol of Urban Life
C. Farms of the Future D. Farming on Rooftops
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文。为了解决日益增长的食物需求,专家介绍了两种在高楼大厦可以发展的农业,垂直农业和屋顶农场。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet. (如果目前的农业模式不改变,我们将需要一个新的耕地区域去为这个星球生产足够的食物)”和第三段“Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. (城市农民可以在环保的摩天大楼上种植庄稼的垂直农场可能会是一个解决办法)”可知,垂直农场是为了解决这个星球食物不足的问题。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases.(与传统农业不同,垂直农业可以避免化学药品和疾病)”可知,垂直农场生产的是有机食品。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.(因此,垂直农场需要额外的光源,比如人造光源)”可知,垂直农场面临的挑战是它需要额外的光源。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet. (如果目前的农业模式不改变,我们将需要一个新的耕地区域去为这个星球生产足够的食物)”,第三段“Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. (城市农民可以在环保的摩天大楼上种植庄稼的垂直农场可能会使一个解决办法)”和最后一段“Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. (另一个种植新鲜食物的方法是在屋顶建立城市农场)”可知,这篇文章主要是围绕解决城市人口食物短缺问题提出了未来城市农场的2条建议。C选项“未来的农场”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Father’s Day was in two weeks. I didn’t know what to get Dad. Last year I made him a photo album. This year I wanted to do something different.
At dinner, Dad accidentally dropped his favorite blue tie into his soup bowl. The tie was ruined. I suddenly knew what to get Dad for Father’s Day!
“How much does a tie cost?” I asked Mom the next morning.
“Depends,” she said.“ Some can cost twenty dollars. Do you have enough money. Carter?”
“No, ” I said sadly.
When I got to my room to change into my school clothes I noticed a hole in my shirt.
“Mom, I need you to sew(缝补) my shirt, I said loudly, rushing out the door to the school bus.
At school I picked at the hole in my shirt. I thought about how I could come up with enough money to buy a tie. I took a deep sigh, and played with the hold some more. As the hole grew in size, an idea sprung into my mind.
After coming home from school, I dug through my closet trying to find other worn clothes.
“Mom! "I yelled down the hall heading towards her.
Can I cut these clothes up to make Dad a patchwork(拼缝) tie for Father’s Day?” I pointed out the holes to Mom.
“ I guess,” he said.
“And,” I added, “Can you show me how to sew and make tiny stitches(针脚)?”
“Yes, Carter. Let s start now before Dad gets home.” Mom said, heading for her sewing supplies.
I followed Moms instructions and started making a patchwork tie. I gently pressed my foot on the foot pedal(缝纫机脚踏板) . Suddenly, the needle stopped and the machine made a horrible sound. “No!” I said.
“Try again, Carter, ” Mom instructed.
I took a deep breath and gently applied the pedal again. Unluckily, I failed again.
注意:1. 续写词数为150左右。
2. 请在相应位置作答。
“Forget it! I can’t do this!” I cried and went to my room.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Father’s Day I handed Dad a small box.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“ Forget it! I cant do this!” I cried and went to my room. After sitting in my room for a while, I realized that if I wanted to give Dad a Father’s Day gift, I would have to learn to sew or at least keep trying. Every day after school, I would try, and try, and try. Finally, I was able to work the machine with Mom’s continued help. Although my first stitches were big and far apart, I grew better and better and my stitches finally became closer together and looked nice.
On Fathers Day I handed Dad a small box. He tore the wrapping paper off and opened the box. “Wow! This is great, Carter!” he said, holding up the patchwork tie. “I remember that shirt of yours,” Dad said, pointing out the patches. “Thank you very much.” Dad’s hug was big and warm. “I’ll be sure to take this off when I eat soup.” he said, and we both laughed.

Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their broken vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 42,120 kilometers around the world and passed through over 35 countries. They did this to support the grass roots education projects in Africa, Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their journey was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometers away from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turn by Richard and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepén, Peru, they discovered a repairman who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed first-hand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees (难民) in camps in Eastern Burundi.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a U.K. registered charity. Talking about their motivation, Richard said, “The world’s leaders have made a commitment to achieve universal primary education but, in spite of this promise, over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, but still cannot access quality learning opportunities.”
4. Why did the two teachers travel around the world?
A. To give support to education projects. B. To create a new record in a journey.
C. To find like-minded teachers to work with. D. To explore landscapes of different countries.
5 What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Their achievements in fighting poverty. B. Their exciting experiences on the road.
C The beautiful scenery of famous mountains. D. The difficulties and dangers of the journey.
6. Which of the following best describes the two teachers?
A. Curious and brave. B. Humorous and generous.
C. Responsible and courageous. D. Efficient and honest.
7. What can we infer from Richard’s words in the last paragraph?
A Students in developing countries need to be further educated.
B. The world’s leaders don’t pay enough attention to education.
C. People should work together to promote equality in education.
D. Universal primary education remains a long way to go.

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 hand write 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 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 hand 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. What’s the author’s attitude toward typing?
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class
B Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its Convenience
C. Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning
D. Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does
D
Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life and city people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
12. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?
A. Poor state of rural life. B. Shortage of food supply.
C. High costs for transporting crops. D. Environmental pollution.
13. What is the advantage of vertical farming?
A. It can benefit transport industry. B. It requires little care.
C. It can produce organic food. D. It needs very low cost.
14. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?
A. Farmable land. B. Light sources.
C. Crop diseases. D. Climate conditions.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Future Food Needs B. Symbol of Urban Life
C. Farms of the Future D. Farming on Rooftops

Father’s Day was in two weeks. I didn’t know what to get Dad. Last year I made him a photo album. This year I wanted to do something different.
At dinner, Dad accidentally dropped his favorite blue tie into his soup bowl. The tie was ruined. I suddenly knew what to get Dad for Father’s Day!
“How much does a tie cost?” I asked Mom the next morning.
“Depends,” she said.“ Some can cost twenty dollars. Do you have enough money. Carter?”
“No, ” I said sadly.
When I got to my room to change into my school clothes I noticed a hole in my shirt.
“Mom, I need you to sew(缝补) my shirt, I said loudly, rushing out the door to the school bus.
At school I picked at the hole in my shirt. I thought about how I could come up with enough money to buy a tie. I took a deep sigh, and played with the hold some more. As the hole grew in size, an idea sprung into my mind.
After coming home from school, I dug through my closet trying to find other worn clothes.
“Mom! "I yelled down the hall heading towards her.
Can I cut these clothes up to make Dad a patchwork(拼缝) tie for Father’s Day?” I pointed out the holes to Mom.
“ I guess,” he said.
“And,” I added, “Can you show me how to sew and make tiny stitches(针脚)?”
“Yes, Carter. Let s start now before Dad gets home.” Mom said, heading for her sewing supplies.
I followed Moms instructions and started making a patchwork tie. I gently pressed my foot on the foot pedal(缝纫机脚踏板) . Suddenly, the needle stopped and the machine made a horrible sound. “No!” I said.
“Try again, Carter, ” Mom instructed.
I took a deep breath and gently applied the pedal again. Unluckily, I failed again.
注意:1. 续写词数为150左右。
2. 请在相应位置作答。
“Forget it! I can’t do this!” I cried and went to my room.
