When did you last write a letter? Properly write one — by hand? In a digital world, sending a text or email is far more convenient than using traditional mail. Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to throw away your ballpoint (圆珠笔) or fountain pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But doing a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practicing your handwriting, it helps you to remember selling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly related to students, because typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback” (触觉回馈) to the brain. They think taking note by hand involve cognitive engagement (认知参与) in summarizing, paraphrasing organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. They also agree that handwriting may improve fine movement skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Writing notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and convenient. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most influence. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: “In a world where it is so easy to get online email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone choose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t get rid of your pens and pencils yet — especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
4. Two questions are asked in paragraph 1 to ________.
A. offer background information B. ask for opinions
C. show disagreement D. lead to the topic
5. Why is doing a handwritten document special?
A. Because it involves planning, thought and handwriting.
B. Because it creates spelling and punctuation.
C. Because it does harm to hands and fingers.
D. Because it helps the brain recover from disease.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper.
B. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
C. It is not easy to email or to send a fast text today.
D. People are supposed to turn off the virtual world.
7. What’s the author’s attitude towards writing by hand?
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要阐述了当下的数字时代,动笔书写仍然具有多样的益处。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When did you last write a letter? Properly write one — by hand?(你上次写信是什么时候?手写书信好吗?)”和“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to throw away your ballpoint or fountain pen yet. (好吧,有些人说手写仍然有很多好处,所以也许现在还不是扔掉你的圆珠笔或钢笔的时候)”可推知,文章第一段提出两个问题,引起读者注意,并引出本文话题,即动笔手写的好处,故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But doing a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practicing your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.(但是手写文档是独一无二的:它需要计划和思考,而且,在练习书写的同时,它还能帮助你记住拼写和标点符号)”可知,手写文档的特殊之处在于,它们会训练人们的书写、规划和思考能力,故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In a world where it is so easy to get online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone choose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.(在一个可以轻松上网发电子邮件或快速发送短信的世界里,知道有人选择关闭虚拟世界与你共度时光是一件非常私人的事情,也是一件非常珍贵的事情)”可推知,亲自动笔给别人写一封信,能够表达你对他的真情厚意,是一种感人且宝贵的经历。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“So, while digital skills remain important, don’t get rid of your pens and pencils yet — especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power.(虽然数字技能仍然很重要,但不要放弃你的笔和铅笔——尤其是当你的智能手机、平板电脑或笔记本没电的时候)”可推知,作者对于手写是支持的态度。故选C项。

Last summer vacation, I got a chance to volunteer as a guide at the local history and culture museum in my hometown, a small town with a 300-year history in the south of China. My main job was to introduce the old exhibits, including farming tools, traditional clothes, old photos and handwritten documents, to visitors and tell the stories behind them.
At first, I was a little nervous because I knew little about the town’s history, but the museum keeper, an elderly man who knew everything about the town’s traditions, taught me a lot every day. He told me the origin of local festivals, the stories of ancient buildings and the meaning of traditional handicrafts, which made me more and more interested in the town’s history. With his patient guidance, I gradually knew all the knowledge about the museum’s exhibits and could introduce them to visitors fluently.
One rainy afternoon, an old lady came to the museum and stopped in front of a set of traditional embroidery works for a long time. She told me that the works were made by her mother decades ago and shared her warm childhood memories of learning embroidery from her mother and celebrating traditional festivals with her family. I listened carefully and wrote down all her stories, which made me realize the true value of history and traditions. They are not just cold objects in the museum, but the precious memories of a generation.
After the volunteer work, I no longer thought history was boring. Instead, I understood that history and traditions are the root of our culture. They connect us with our ancestors and shape who we are. I decided to learn more about local culture and try my best to protect and pass on these precious traditions.
8. What did the writer do during last summer vacation?
A. Traveled to Suzhou to visit classical gardens

9. Who helped the writer master the knowledge of the town’s history and exhibits?
A. An old lady who visited the museum B. The elderly museum keeper of the hometown
C. The writer’s history teacher at school D. The writer’s grandparents at home
10. What made the writer realize the true value of history and traditions?
A. The old lady’s childhood memories and related stories
B. The museum keeper’s interesting and vivid teaching
C. The beautiful and delicate traditional embroidery works
D. The experience of visiting many historic sites in the town
11. What can we infer from the writer’s volunteer experience?
A. Volunteer work in a museum is boring and meaningless
B. Small towns have no valuable history or traditional culture
C. History and traditions are the fundamental part of a culture

City farms are gaining popularity in cities and towns around the United States.
Eco City Farm in Edmonston, Maryland, is located near shopping centers, car repair shops and homes. The neighborhood is a working-class community. People do not have very much money, and they have limited access to fresh food in markets. Over the past two years, the farm has attracted volunteers from the community like Marcy Clark. She schools her four children at home. On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farm for a lesson. Alston Clark thinks his experience very valuable. “I like coming out here.” he says, “You know, you connect with the Earth, where your food comes from. You appreciate the food a little bit more.”
Margaret Morgan Hubbard started Eco City Farm. She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives. “Growing food in a community and showing that you can have farms even in the city is helpful to strengthen the relationship in that community and brings people together,” she says. “Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have a sustainable community.” From the Eco City Farm people come to know that they are not only growing food and raising chickens and bees, but improving the soil with compost made from food waste. Sixteen wooden bins are filled with worms. Their job is to eat the food waste and help make it into compost.
Eco City Farm is an experimental operation. The farm gets its power not from the local electricity networks but from the sun with solar panels. In winter, the greenhouses are heated using a geothermal system. Vegetables can be grown all year. So once a week, all winter long, neighbors like Chris Moss and her three children bicycle to the farm to pick up a share of the harvest.
12. Where is Eco City Farm in Edmonston located?
A. It is close to the community. B. It is far in the countryside.
C. It lies inside the neighborhood. D. It is opposite to shopping centers.
13. Who are the intended customers of Eco City Farm?
A. Working-class people. B. School-aged children.
C. People with high pay. D. People without a job.
14. What function does Eco City Farm have?
A. It demonstrates how to use green power in the city life.
B. It teaches children to value the food made by themselves.
C. It improves the relationship between people in a community.
D. It enables people to live in a safe and harmonious community.
15. What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. The history of city farms. B. The popularity of city farms.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Li Yue was a hardworking but quite shy student. She loved English and had always been at the top of her class in written exams, but speaking in front of others was her greatest fear. This year, to her own surprise, she had made it to the final of the school’s English speech competition. The topic was “The Power of Friendship”, which made her think immediately of Wang Lei. Li Yue had spent weeks preparing, writing, and rewriting her speech with the help of her best friend, Wang Lei. Wang Lei had always been her biggest supporter, encouraging her to step out of her comfort zone. He had practiced with her for countless hours, patiently listening and giving suggestions. Whenever Li Yue felt nervous or looked unsure, he would smile and say, “Believe in yourself — you’re fully prepared”, a sentence that rang loud in her heart like a steady drumbeat.
Standing backstage, Li Yue’s heart was beating quickly and loudly. She could feel her hands getting sweaty. She looked through the curtain secretly and saw the audience, a sea of faces that seemed to go on forever. Then she saw her main competitor, Sun Qian, walking off the stage with a confident smile, and receiving loud applause (掌声). The sound felt like a wave of pressure crashing over her. Suddenly, Li Yue’s confidence disappeared. Her hands started to shake uncontrollably, and the words of her carefully prepared speech seemed to disappear from her mind, leaving behind a terrifying blank. “What if I forget everything? What if they laugh at me? What if I disappoint Wang Lei after all his help?” she thought, fear rising inside her. She took a deep breath, but it did little to calm her nerves. Just then, the host’s voice rang through the speakers, “And now, let’s welcome our next contestant, Li Yue!”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Li Yue slowly walked onto the stage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Taking a deep breath, Li Yue calmed down quickly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Li Yue slowly walked onto the stage. She felt the bright spotlight shining directly into her eyes. The audience became completely quiet, all eyes focused on her. Just as her mind went blank, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the front row — it was Wang Lei, who gave her a warm, encouraging smile and a firm thumbs-up. At that moment, Wang Lei’s words echoed in her ears, “Believe in yourself — you are fully prepared.”
Taking a deep breath, Li Yue calmed down quickly. She no longer focused on memorizing the speech word for word. Instead, she began speaking from her heart, sharing the story of her and Wang Lei. She talked about those late nights spent practicing together, the times Wang Lei patiently corrected her pronunciation, and the warmth she felt during moments of hesitation. Her voice grew steadier and more confident, and the words flowed naturally. When she finished, the hall exploded with applause. At that moment, Li Yue knew she not only overcame her fear but also proved that true friendship is the greatest power of all.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。李悦害羞但勤奋,擅长英语笔试却害怕当众演讲。好友王磊一直支持鼓励她,陪她练习。比赛前李悦紧张不安,看到对手自信下台后,她信心全无,此时主持人宣布她上台。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“李悦慢慢地走上舞台。”可知,第一段可以描写李悦登台时的紧张状态,再通过描写前排王磊熟悉的身影、温暖的笑容和鼓励的手势,以及回响在耳边的鼓励话语,为她后续平复情绪埋下伏笔。
②由第二段句首内容“深吸一口气,李悦很快平静下来。”可知,第二段可以描写李悦在朋友鼓励下调整心态的过程,再描写她说话时的状态变化和观众的热烈掌声,最终升华“友谊是最强大力量”的主旨。
2. 续写线索:慢慢地走上舞台——紧张—— 大脑空白—— 朋友鼓励—— 平复心态—— 赢得掌声—— 感悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①聚焦,专注于:focus on/concentrate on
②练习:practice/rehearse/train
③克服恐惧:overcome/conquer
情绪类
①鼓励:encourage/inspire/motivate
②自信的:confident/self-assured/self-confident

【高分句型2】When she finished, the hall exploded with applause. (运用了When引导的时间状语从句)

When did you last write a letter? Properly write one — by hand? In a digital world, sending a text or email is far more convenient than using traditional mail. Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to throw away your ballpoint (圆珠笔) or fountain pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But doing a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practicing your handwriting, it helps you to remember selling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly related to students, because typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback” (触觉回馈) to the brain. They think taking note by hand involve cognitive engagement (认知参与) in summarizing, paraphrasing organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. They also agree that handwriting may improve fine movement skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Writing notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and convenient. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most influence. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: “In a world where it is so easy to get online email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone choose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t get rid of your pens and pencils yet — especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
4. Two questions are asked in paragraph 1 to ________.
A. offer background information B. ask for opinions
C. show disagreement D. lead to the topic
5. Why is doing a handwritten document special?
A. Because it involves planning, thought and handwriting.
B. Because it creates spelling and punctuation.
C. Because it does harm to hands and fingers.
D. Because it helps the brain recover from disease.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper.
B. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
C. It is not easy to email or to send a fast text today.
D. People are supposed to turn off the virtual world.
7. What’s the author’s attitude towards writing by hand?
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
C
Last summer vacation, I got a chance to volunteer as a guide at the local history and culture museum in my hometown, a small town with a 300-year history in the south of China. My main job was to introduce the old exhibits, including farming tools, traditional clothes, old photos and handwritten documents, to visitors and tell the stories behind them.
At first, I was a little nervous because I knew little about the town’s history, but the museum keeper, an elderly man who knew everything about the town’s traditions, taught me a lot every day. He told me the origin of local festivals, the stories of ancient buildings and the meaning of traditional handicrafts, which made me more and more interested in the town’s history. With his patient guidance, I gradually knew all the knowledge about the museum’s exhibits and could introduce them to visitors fluently.
One rainy afternoon, an old lady came to the museum and stopped in front of a set of traditional embroidery works for a long time. She told me that the works were made by her mother decades ago and shared her warm childhood memories of learning embroidery from her mother and celebrating traditional festivals with her family. I listened carefully and wrote down all her stories, which made me realize the true value of history and traditions. They are not just cold objects in the museum, but the precious memories of a generation.
After the volunteer work, I no longer thought history was boring. Instead, I understood that history and traditions are the root of our culture. They connect us with our ancestors and shape who we are. I decided to learn more about local culture and try my best to protect and pass on these precious traditions.

City farms are gaining popularity in cities and towns around the United States.
Eco City Farm in Edmonston, Maryland, is located near shopping centers, car repair shops and homes. The neighborhood is a working-class community. People do not have very much money, and they have limited access to fresh food in markets. Over the past two years, the farm has attracted volunteers from the community like Marcy Clark. She schools her four children at home. On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farm for a lesson. Alston Clark thinks his experience very valuable. “I like coming out here.” he says, “You know, you connect with the Earth, where your food comes from. You appreciate the food a little bit more.”
Margaret Morgan Hubbard started Eco City Farm. She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives. “Growing food in a community and showing that you can have farms even in the city is helpful to strengthen the relationship in that community and brings people together,” she says. “Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have a sustainable community.” From the Eco City Farm people come to know that they are not only growing food and raising chickens and bees, but improving the soil with compost made from food waste. Sixteen wooden bins are filled with worms. Their job is to eat the food waste and help make it into compost.
Eco City Farm is an experimental operation. The farm gets its power not from the local electricity networks but from the sun with solar panels. In winter, the greenhouses are heated using a geothermal system. Vegetables can be grown all year. So once a week, all winter long, neighbors like Chris Moss and her three children bicycle to the farm to pick up a share of the harvest.

A. Working-class people. B. School-aged children.
C. People with high pay. D. People without a job.
14. What function does Eco City Farm have?
A. It demonstrates how to use green power in the city life.
B. It teaches children to value the food made by themselves.
C. It improves the relationship between people in a community.
D. It enables people to live in a safe and harmonious community.
15. What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. The history of city farms. B. The popularity of city farms.
C. City farms are an experiment. D. City farms save a lot of energy.

Li Yue was a hardworking but quite shy student. She loved English and had always been at the top of her class in written exams, but speaking in front of others was her greatest fear. This year, to her own surprise, she had made it to the final of the school’s English speech competition. The topic was “The Power of Friendship”, which made her think immediately of Wang Lei. Li Yue had spent weeks preparing, writing, and rewriting her speech with the help of her best friend, Wang Lei. Wang Lei had always been her biggest supporter, encouraging her to step out of her comfort zone. He had practiced with her for countless hours, patiently listening and giving suggestions. Whenever Li Yue felt nervous or looked unsure, he would smile and say, “Believe in yourself — you’re fully prepared”, a sentence that rang loud in her heart like a steady drumbeat.
Standing backstage, Li Yue’s heart was beating quickly and loudly. She could feel her hands getting sweaty. She looked through the curtain secretly and saw the audience, a sea of faces that seemed to go on forever. Then she saw her main competitor, Sun Qian, walking off the stage with a confident smile, and receiving loud applause (掌声). The sound felt like a wave of pressure crashing over her. Suddenly, Li Yue’s confidence disappeared. Her hands started to shake uncontrollably, and the words of her carefully prepared speech seemed to disappear from her mind, leaving behind a terrifying blank. “What if I forget everything? What if they laugh at me? What if I disappoint Wang Lei after all his help?” she thought, fear rising inside her. She took a deep breath, but it did little to calm her nerves. Just then, the host’s voice rang through the speakers, “And now, let’s welcome our next contestant, Li Yue!”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Li Yue slowly walked onto the stage.
