  • 28、If you have ever been left wondering why your emails are riddled(充斥着) with grammatical errors, or why you can never quite find the right phrase, it may be because you are typing with both hands.

    Our vocabulary becomes richer and our writing style becomes more fluent when we type using just one hand, scientists have found. "Typing can be too fluent or too fast, and it can actually weaken the writing process," said Srdan Medimorec, the lead author of the study conducted at the department of psychology at the University of Waterloo, Canada. "It seems that what we write is a product of the interaction(互动) between our thoughts and the tools we use to express them."

    Using text-analysis software, researchers asked 103 university students to write essays under different conditions, using one hand to type and using both hands to type. The software was used to analyze(分析) elements of the essays, such as range of vocabulary, sentence complexity and the cohesion(衔接) of the writing.

    Researchers found that participants' vocabulary became more advanced when they typed with one hand rather than two. The research team said that by slowing our writing down, typing one-handed allows more time for an internal (内在的) word search, resulting in a larger variety of words.

    In contrast, fast typists might just write the first word that comes to mind. However, it is important not to slow typing down too much. Those who typed essays one-handed in the current study slowed down to about the speed of handwriting.

    This is the first study to show that changing people’s typing can make their writing get better. The researchers suggested that the speed of writing could affect writing quality regardless of the tools used, whether they are computers, or pen and paper, although further research would be required to prove that idea.

    【1】 The underlined “it” in the second paragraph refers to______.

    A. the writing style 

    B. typing too fast or fluently

    C. the vocabulary

    D. which hand to use for typing

    【2】 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    A. The study was carried out in 103 universities.

    B. The researchers drew the conclusion by interviewing students about their feelings in the writing process.

    C. The typing speed should be as slow as possible.

    D. There is no previous study related to the topic before.

    【3】 What is the author’s attitude to the research according to the passage?

    A. objective B. doubtful

    C. critical   D. supportive

    【4】Which is the best title of the passage?

    A. How to become a good writer?

    B. Typing with both hands could make you a worse writer.

    C. Slower typing, fewer mistakes.

    D. Elements weakening the writing process

     

  • 29、As we all know,books are very important to us. They can provide us with many useful things. 【1】 However, how can you become a good reader? Do you know what effective ways to read are? I suggest you should follow these tips.

    【2】 Libraries are wonderful places to find a variety of books. What’s more, you can fix your attention on the book in this quiet, comfortable place because you won’t be disturbed. You can also relax yourself in this comfortable place.

    Pick out reading materials that most interest you. Finding materials that interest you is the first important step in improving your reading. 【3】 If you have trouble understanding what the author’s trying to say, you may not enjoy reading it again and again.

    【4】 If you want to learn the language, you should learn the sentence structures, the useful words and expressions that you may need to use later. Even you can write down some beautiful sentences,the more words you are exposed to, the more your vocabulary will grow.This will help you write a good composition. 【5】.

    A.Know what your purpose is.

    B.So reading books is necessary for us.

    C.Find the materials related to your study

    D.Learning the basic writing skill requires hard work.

    E.You should find a book that’s proper for you to read.

    F.Get a library card and be prepared to spend a lot of time there browsing(浏览).

    G.If you are reading for fun, or just for killing time, then you needn’t be too serious.

  • 32、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。

    On my run one morning, I was stopped by an elderly Chinese woman waving her phone at me and speaking to me in Chinese. She spoke no English at all. She was clearly lost and was trying to walk home.

    She showed me screenshots of maps on her phone, though I was unable to direct her. I worked nearby and knew someone who might be able to translate for us. So I asked her to come with me to find the person who would be able to speak with her.

    Unfortunately, my friend wasn’t working so I quickly downloaded a translation app, and used the app for translation. I didn’t have the keyboard for her to type to me, but she used the microphone feature to translate into English, and I would write a reply. I was able to determine the address she needed to get to. It was at least 45 minutes’ walking distance from her home. She didn’t want to use transport, but agreed to let me walk her to a bus stop where she could call her daughter to pick her up.

    Though this all ended up taking me 45 minutes, it was such a lovely meeting, despite having to communicate by an app and having to put trust and faith in the other with technology to talk to one another. I am so deeply thankful for having been able to support this woman. As a single parent of two teens and knowing my surroundings well, I regard these things as natural.

    This beautiful lost, elderly woman, was greatly thankful for my time and kept saying sorry for taking my time. I had to keep reminding her that was no trouble at all for me, and that I only wanted to ensure she got home safely.

    注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

    2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

    Soon the elderly woman’s daughter arrived.
