Emerson, my 11-year-old daughter, is on a wild ride with the United States Postal Service (USPS) and our mail carrier, Doug. She has a serious letter-writing habit and maintains correspondence with her favorite people. If you’ve been the receiver of her hand decorated letters and envelopes, then I know they really make your day.
A letter from Emerson is likely to include some art, a joke and enough questions to guarantee a response. But when she wrote a letter to Doug, she put something new in it. “You may know me as the person living here that writes lots of letters...You’re very important to me, helping me stay in touch with friends. I cheer people up with my letters, and you do that too!” Emerson wrote.
The next day, a package arrived with two letters. One was from Doug and the other from his superior Sara, saying she had shared Emerson’s letter in the internal newsletter (内部通讯) of the USPS and believed many postal folks wanted to thank Emerson. Emerson was so pleased with the letter that it perturbed me much, for the possible result of no reply from other mail carriers would come as a blow to her.
Surprisingly, today, we saw Doug come with two boxes of letters from around the country. These letters were so human, filled with stories about family, pets and a sense of kindness. But there was something more in them, People felt seen-some for the first time in a long time. “I work alone in a small rural office...” “Not many people think about how hard we work... ” Emerson wrote back seriously.
I’m sharing this not because I’m a proud dad but because it’s relatively easy. If we take the time, to give others links they need to be good. We all want to be seen, known and loved. Send a letter. Give a call. Take a step of bravery, like Emerson.
4. Why did Emerson write Doug a letter?
A. To make friends with him.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者11岁的女儿Emerson给邮递员Doug写感谢信,收到了全国各地邮政工作人员的回信,作者由此感悟到主动与人建立联系的重要性。
【4题详解】
第二段Emerson在给Doug的信中写道“You’re very important to me, helping me stay in touch with friends. I cheer people up with my letters, and you do that too!”,由此可知她写信是为了表达感激之情。
【5题详解】
第三段提到Emerson收到Doug和Sara的回信后非常高兴,但作者担心如果没有其他邮递员回信会让她失望。由此可以推断,perturbed意为“担忧的”,与concerned意思相近。
【6题详解】
Emerson经常给喜欢的人写信,还给邮递员写感谢信表达感激,因此“关心他人的(caring)”和“懂得感恩的(grateful)”最能描述她。

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful—both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks—both on a computer and by hand. The study, published last year, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas,” Berninger said.
“Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. “Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,” says Berninger, “but also to find out spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time. ”
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer. ”
8. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A. The importance of writing by hand.
B. The lack of practice in handwriting.
C. The use of new technologies like computers and smartphones.
D. The belief that handwriting skills are unnecessary for success.
9. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A. Spelling improves one’s long-run memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely connected to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding the right words to express ideas.
10. What does the underlined expression “mind’s eye” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Wind. B. Spirit. C. Imagination. D. Picture.
11. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Computers can help people with their choice of words.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了手写技能在现代教育中的地位,以及拼写能力对于写作技能的重要性。
【8题详解】
根据第一段中“The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic skill.”可知,新技术如计算机和智能手机的出现使得手写成为过去。
【9题详解】
第四段中“In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write.”可知,拼写能力与写作能力密切相关,这最好地体现了拼写的作用。
【10题详解】
根据第五段中“Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen.”以及“Seeing the words in the ‘mind’s eye’ helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, but also to find out spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.”可知,“mind’s eye”指的是孩子们在脑海中想象单词的过程,即想象力(Imagination)。
【11题详解】
根据第一段中“However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful—both in school and in life.”以及后文对手写技能和拼写能力的讨论,可知文章主要讨论了手写技能在现代教育中的地位,由此推知,手写技能在今天的课堂上仍然有一席之地。

We are now having face- to- face chats with friends instead of talking online. But have you ever been in a conversation that you wish you could run away from? Scientists have proved that you might not be alone.
A research team surveyed 806 participants (参与者) about a recent conversation they had with someone close to them. The participants were asked about the actual length and their expected length of the conversation, and how long they thought the other person wanted to talk for.
About one-third of the conversation length was unwanted, according to the team’s paper published in the journal PNAS. Also, more participants believed that they wanted to end the conversation first. On average, they continued talking for 3.87 minutes before they found that the other speaker wished the same thing. Situations are similar when it comes to strangers. Only about 1.6 percent of the conversations ended when both parties wanted them to.
The paper pointed out that when they talk to strangers, what makes people “mask their desires” may be their politeness. When talking to close friends and family, it may be their kindness as ending the chat too soon may hurt the other’s feelings.
So, what is the best way to end a conversation? Saying you only have a certain amount of time to talk at the start of the chat is a good place to start. “Remember conversations don’t end because people don’t know when the other person wants to go,” Adam Mastroianni who led the study told the Inverse website. You should make your partner feel good about the end of the chat by “clearly communicating that you had a nice time and would like to talk again”.
Mastroianni also suggested that the difficulty in ending conversations may be a “coordination (协调) problem”. It’s hard to tell your grandma you want to get off the phone just because you want the conversation to be over, for example.
However, in some ways, this dilemma (困境) may not be a bad thing. People need social connections, and conversation is a good way to make these connections happen.
12. What did the researchers find out in their survey?
A. Most conversations ended when both speakers wanted.
B. Nearly half of the length of conversations was unwanted.
C. Ending conversations with strangers was easier than with friends.
D. Many people want to escape the conversation longer than they expect.
13. Why do people tend to hide their desire to end the conversation with strangers?
A. To show their politeness. B. To gain social connections.
C. To avoid hurting others’ feelings. D. To make the conversation last longer.
14. According to Adam Mastroianni, what is an effective way to end a conversation?
A. Saying goodbye immediately. B. Clearly communicating your desire.
C. Expressing your eagerness to talk again. D. Reminding the other of your limited time.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the dilemma of ending conversations?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现很多人在聊天时都会有想要结束谈话的想法,但还是会坚持尬聊一会儿,分析了其原因并给出了结束对话的建议。
【12题详解】
根据第三段“Also, more participants believed that they wanted to end the conversation first. On average, they continued talking for 3.87 minutes before they found that the other speaker wished the same thing.”可推测出,许多人想逃避谈话的时间比他们预期的要长。
【13题详解】
根据第四段“The paper pointed out that when they talk to strangers, what makes people “mask their desires” may be their politeness.”可知,人们在与陌生人交谈时倾向于隐藏他们想要结束对话的欲望是为了表示礼貌。
【14题详解】
根据倒数第三段“You should make your partner feel good about the end of the chat by “clearly communicating that you had a nice time and would like to talk again”. ”可知,你应该表达你想下次再聊的愿望,让对方对结束聊天感到满意。
【15题详解】
根据最后一段“However, in some ways, this dilemma (困境) may not be a bad thing. People need social connections, and conversation is a good way to make these connections happen.”可知,作者对结束对话的困境持积极态度。

Our Eastern Shore house has a quarter-mile walkway over the water to a dock (码头). The first time we walked it, there was so much to see, but yesterday, it felt like the walk to the dock took seconds. ____21____
Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. ____22____ And your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you age and encounter fewer new things, your brain processes less, and time seems to speed up. So how do we slow the passage of time?
____23____ Engage in hobbies or learning experiences that push you beyond your comfort zone. This focused engagement not only stimulates your mind but also makes your experiences more enriching. When you reflect on these activities later, the time you spent will seem more substantial and memorable.
Then apply the power of what psychologists call prospective timing. It involves predicting future outcomes and planning activities. Go on vacation in a month. ____24____ Stick a note on the fridge. Looking forward to something can make the wait feel longer and the anticipation sweeter.
As Eagleman says, “Doing new things, or even simple changes like taking a different route to work, rearranging your office, or brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand, can be beneficial. ____25____ This is because you are forcing your brain off its usual routine of doing things in the same way every day. ”

When One Thing Goes Wrong But Everything Else Goes So Right
We recently moved to a new town, and I was at the local grocery store with my baby, getting some things for the house. As we were heading back to the car with our purchases, I noticed another mother with her teenage son happily walking to their car, which was parked in the next aisle (过道). The next few events all happened over a very short stretch of time.
As I was loading my groceries into our car and tending to my little baby, I heard a sudden very loud screaming and crying. I had no idea what could have happened so quickly, but it appeared that the teenage boy had somehow become seriously injured. His mom was holding him in a desperate hug while he was sobbing, and when she took her hand away from him for a moment, I saw some blood.
The mother of the injured boy was clearly in shock and couldn’t do anything besides holding her son, who had stopped yelling but was still shaking and crying. I really wanted to be of help, but I was also trying to attend my little one who half stood from the grocery cart seat, so I couldn’t get there immediately.
Just then, another woman came striding (大步) over in a full-steam-ahead speed walk. She immediately jumped into action, demanding the facts from the mother. She was just direct and to the point in a way that was necessary to cut through the panic in an urgent situation.
They quickly decided to call 911, and the woman was all over it, telling the emergency responders everything they needed to know. She did everything exactly right that you’re supposed to do in an emergency, giving clear directions to the ambulance driver. It was actually amazing to witness her confidence under pressure.

Immediately I started to direct the ambulance toward the injured boy. I waved my hands and shouted to the driver to follow me. The driver saw me and followed my directions. I led them to the spot where the boy was waiting. The paramedics quickly got out of the ambulance and started to treat the boy. I stood by and watched, praying for the boy’s recovery.

Emerson, my 11-year-old daughter, is on a wild ride with the United States Postal Service (USPS) and our mail carrier, Doug. She has a serious letter-writing habit and maintains correspondence with her favorite people. If you’ve been the receiver of her hand decorated letters and envelopes, then I know they really make your day.
A letter from Emerson is likely to include some art, a joke and enough questions to guarantee a response. But when she wrote a letter to Doug, she put something new in it. “You may know me as the person living here that writes lots of letters...You’re very important to me, helping me stay in touch with friends. I cheer people up with my letters, and you do that too!” Emerson wrote.
The next day, a package arrived with two letters. One was from Doug and the other from his superior Sara, saying she had shared Emerson’s letter in the internal newsletter (内部通讯) of the USPS and believed many postal folks wanted to thank Emerson. Emerson was so pleased with the letter that it perturbed me much, for the possible result of no reply from other mail carriers would come as a blow to her.
Surprisingly, today, we saw Doug come with two boxes of letters from around the country. These letters were so human, filled with stories about family, pets and a sense of kindness. But there was something more in them, People felt seen-some for the first time in a long time. “I work alone in a small rural office...” “Not many people think about how hard we work... ” Emerson wrote back seriously.
I’m sharing this not because I’m a proud dad but because it’s relatively easy. If we take the time, to give others links they need to be good. We all want to be seen, known and loved. Send a letter. Give a call. Take a step of bravery, like Emerson.

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful—both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks—both on a computer and by hand. The study, published last year, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas,” Berninger said.
“Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. “Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,” says Berninger, “but also to find out spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time. ”
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer. ”
8. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A. The importance of writing by hand.
B. The lack of practice in handwriting.
C. The use of new technologies like computers and smartphones.
D. The belief that handwriting skills are unnecessary for success.
9. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A. Spelling improves one’s long-run memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely connected to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding the right words to express ideas.
10. What does the underlined expression “mind’s eye” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Wind. B. Spirit. C. Imagination. D. Picture.
11. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Computers can help people with their choice of words.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.
D
We are now having face- to- face chats with friends instead of talking online. But have you ever been in a conversation that you wish you could run away from? Scientists have proved that you might not be alone.
A research team surveyed 806 participants (参与者) about a recent conversation they had with someone close to them. The participants were asked about the actual length and their expected length of the conversation, and how long they thought the other person wanted to talk for.
About one-third of the conversation length was unwanted, according to the team’s paper published in the journal PNAS. Also, more participants believed that they wanted to end the conversation first. On average, they continued talking for 3.87 minutes before they found that the other speaker wished the same thing. Situations are similar when it comes to strangers. Only about 1.6 percent of the conversations ended when both parties wanted them to.
The paper pointed out that when they talk to strangers, what makes people “mask their desires” may be their politeness. When talking to close friends and family, it may be their kindness as ending the chat too soon may hurt the other’s feelings.
So, what is the best way to end a conversation? Saying you only have a certain amount of time to talk at the start of the chat is a good place to start. “Remember conversations don’t end because people don’t know when the other person wants to go,” Adam Mastroianni who led the study told the Inverse website. You should make your partner feel good about the end of the chat by “clearly communicating that you had a nice time and would like to talk again”.
Mastroianni also suggested that the difficulty in ending conversations may be a “coordination (协调) problem”. It’s hard to tell your grandma you want to get off the phone just because you want the conversation to be over, for example.
However, in some ways, this dilemma (困境) may not be a bad thing. People need social connections, and conversation is a good way to make these connections happen.
12. What did the researchers find out in their survey?
A. Most conversations ended when both speakers wanted.
B. Nearly half of the length of conversations was unwanted.
C. Ending conversations with strangers was easier than with friends.
D. Many people want to escape the conversation longer than they expect.
13. Why do people tend to hide their desire to end the conversation with strangers?
A. To show their politeness. B. To gain social connections.
C. To avoid hurting others’ feelings. D. To make the conversation last longer.
14. According to Adam Mastroianni, what is an effective way to end a conversation?
A. Saying goodbye immediately. B. Clearly communicating your desire.
C. Expressing your eagerness to talk again. D. Reminding the other of your limited time.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the dilemma of ending conversations?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

Typhoons are often underestimated. When you realize the damage that’s being done over its duration, it’s too late. Fortunately, there are many known methods of staying safe during a typhoon. ____16____
Before
When officials warn of a potential typhoon, it’s essential to monitor local broadcasting services for updates on the situation. ____17____ Typhoons are regular events for many of them. If they appear as nervous, you probably should be, too. Start by securing your property, including outdoor furniture, windows, and vehicles. Furthermore, having emergency bags readily available during a time of crisis can help prevent panic. And it is best to have bags filled with immediate needs, something that can hold you over for a day or two.
During
During a typhoon, it is crucial to stay indoors. ____18____ Keep soft items such as bedding, mattresses, and pillows nearby to use as cover if the building suffers damage. Regularly listen to local broadcasting stations for updates about the storm and official instructions. Additionally, ensure you have emergency supplies readily available in case an evacuation becomes necessary. By following these steps, you can better protect yourself and stay informed throughout the storm.
After
____19____ First and foremost, the damage needs to be assessed by professionals. Waiting until official advice it is safe to go outside is recommended as there may be damaged power lines and gas leaks. Meanwhile, officials may communicate through the radio or relief workers to reach the residents. Relief efforts can assist those affected by the storm in finding temporary living situations, access to food, water, and clean clothing, as well as providing financial relief.
The information presented in this article on what steps to take during the stages of a typhoon can help any person prepare for the storm. ____20____ Expert advice should be the first source of information to use when preparing for and surviving a likewise disaster.
A. Seek the police’s suggestions when necessary.
B. Wait for official clearance before going outside.
C. But it does not replace the opinion of an expert.
D. If you feel official guidance is lacking, look to the local residents.
E. After the winds stop howling and the dust settles, what should we do?
F. When the cyclone is over and it is safe to be outside, relief efforts may begin.
G. Experts have developed a list of instructions to follow during all stages of a typhoon.
B
Our Eastern Shore house has a quarter-mile walkway over the water to a dock (码头). The first time we walked it, there was so much to see, but yesterday, it felt like the walk to the dock took seconds. ____21____
Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. ____22____ And your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you age and encounter fewer new things, your brain processes less, and time seems to speed up. So how do we slow the passage of time?
____23____ Engage in hobbies or learning experiences that push you beyond your comfort zone. This focused engagement not only stimulates your mind but also makes your experiences more enriching. When you reflect on these activities later, the time you spent will seem more substantial and memorable.
Then apply the power of what psychologists call prospective timing. It involves predicting future outcomes and planning activities. Go on vacation in a month. ____24____ Stick a note on the fridge. Looking forward to something can make the wait feel longer and the anticipation sweeter.
As Eagleman says, “Doing new things, or even simple changes like taking a different route to work, rearranging your office, or brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand, can be beneficial. ____25____ This is because you are forcing your brain off its usual routine of doing things in the same way every day. ”
Since time is your most valuable resource, why not make it seem to last longer?
A. Hold that thought.
B. Put the date on your calendar.
C. Immerse yourself in challenging activities.
D. When you’re young, so many things seem new.
E. Time seems to pass more quickly as we age, and for good reason.
F. As a result, when I look back, my sense of that time is compressed.
G. These actions make it feel as though you are extending your time a bit.
