A●-G-。M一T- B-●●●H●●●●N-●U●● C-●-◆I●●0—V●●●- D-●●J●—P●一●W。 E●K--Q一●-X-●- F●●-●.L●-●●R●-●Y-e— S●●●Z-●0 The Morse code also includes codes for numbers and punctuation signs )Like texting,it also has groups of letters that stand for phrases.For example,the letters CUL stand for"see you later".And the famous SOS signal stands for"save our souls". THe electric telegraph could send messages using electricity.The worker at one end used a machine to tap (out a special code for each letter of the alphabet.The system changed the tapping into electrical movements and sent them to another place.Then they were changed back into the code at the place.The code was printed on a paper tape which was set on another machine.The worker on the receiving end used the code to change the message back into words.Later,workers learned to translate the code just by listening. Today Morse code is used mostly by radio workers.Some pilots flying planes by instruments use Morse code to decide their lane's location.But perhaps the most exciting use of Morse code is helping disabled people communicate.There have been cases in which people have learned to communicate using their eyelids to send messages using Morse code.Or they have used a finger to tap out messages. 5.What does the code“●-●e●e--●-●-●-”stand for?

D.Different periods of time in history had the same economy. 0 Is our understanding the same when we read on a screen or on paper?And is watching or listening to material as good as reading written words?The answer is usually 'No.Many reasons lead to this result:we cannot focus well,we feel like we are having fun,and we often do many things at the same time when we read digital content. When we read long texts,we usually leamn better on paper than on screens.Lots of studies show this. Paper reading works especially well when we need to think deeply,such as finding hidden ideas from the text. One reason for the difference comes from the paper itself.We can touch the pages.We can also easily remember where information is-which page it is on,or its place on the page.This helps our memory. There is also a mental reason.Researchers call it the"shallowing hypothesis ()"It means we treat digital texts like social media content.We do not take them very seriously,and we put in less mental effort on them than on paper books. Audio and video feel more interesting than text.That's why more and more college teachers use them in class.For example,they may ask students to watch a speech instead of reading an article.But studies show: adults remember more news details when they read the news,rather than when they listen to or watch it. Digital texts,audio and video are useful for learning.They can give us things we cannot find in printed books.However,if we need to focus and think deeply,we shouldn't assume that all media work the same way, even if they carry the same words. 13.What does the"shallowing hypothesis"tell us? A.People do not read digital texts carefully. B.Digital texts are easier to understand. C.People choose digital books without thinking.

C.Printed reading still has an important place in study. 第4页共7页 D.Classroom learning is more important than online study 16.What is the passage mainly about? A.The reasons why paper reading is better for deep learning. B.How to use audio and video to make classes interesting. C.The differences between social media and printed books. D.Why college students prefer reading on screens 第二节还原句子阅读短文：从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并将其代表字母 涂在答题卡的相应位置，其中有一个多余的选项。 E What is life's greatest gift?It is choice.Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal.Why is choice so great?The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists.Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt()our life.The tool doesn't come free,however,for the price of choice is responsibility.17.It is enjoyment.
