22、Does handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.

Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.

A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.

It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

【1】What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?

A. Handwriting is not very important to children.

B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.

C. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.

D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

【2】What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?

A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.

B. How we write is as important as what we write.

C. Children create ideas and remember information.

D. A group of students should know what to write.

【3】Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?

A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.

B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.

C. Type the image directly on a computer.

D. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.

【4】According to the passage, the author obviously  _______  giving up handwriting.  

A. is for   B. is against

C. is responsible for  D. doesn’t care about

23、 Money has always complicated our social lives. A question in October from a woman wondering whether she should attend her neighbors’ holiday parties broke my heart: “I am not able to do the same in return, and I just feel like a freeloader to do so，” she wrote. “I’m not even in a position this year to take an appropriate thank­you gift with me.” I told her to go, of course.

Meanwhile, hosts worried about the costs of entertaining — the hosts who write to me, anyway. On the other hand, the hosts that guests write to me about have taken some extreme measures to reduce the cost of their hospitality. These range from a dinner party where a relative of the host explained how expensive the steaks were and “rather pointedly suggested” that the letter writer “make a financial contribution” to the cost of dinner, to some Cape Cod homeowners who invited a couple to spend a weekend with them — as long as they brought their own food, bottled water, and toilet paper.

Weddings and other special events always create extra sources of stress, worsened by the fact that people rarely want to talk honestly about their money situations. One couple chose to have only a civil wedding ceremony for financial reasons and wondered how to tell people this without going into too much detail. A sixty­something couple needed to cut back on Christmas gifts to their children but weren’t sure how to tell them about it. People who had been laid off wondered how to notify friends, respond to inquiries about their job search, and compete with former colleagues for positions.

If you are searching for the answers to them, write to me—an advice columnist.

【1】The underlined word “freeloader” in the 1st paragraph showed the woman’s ________．

A. disapproval B. happiness

C. confusion   D. agreement

【2】What bothered the hosts mentioned in Paragraph 2 most in their social lives?

A. Steaks. B. Entertainment.

C. Cost.   D. Thank­you gifts.

【3】What would you be expected to do if you were invited to spend a weekend with some Cape Cod homeowners?

A. Ask someone for advice.

B. Get your food and water ready.

C. Bring a bottle of wine with you.

D. Make a financial contribution to the cost.

【4】What makes the social life even worse?

A. Weddings and other social events.

B. Being laid off and notifying friends.

C. Cutting back the costs for lack of money.

D. Telling others about their financial troubles.

24、A Neste fuel station in Finland is currently the only place in the world where you can have your car refueled by a robot. It’s the pilot site chosen by Autofuel, a Danish startup, to test its futuristic refueling system — a robotic arm that can locate a car’s fuel tank door, select the right type of fuel, and operate the pump (加油泵).

“Our technology intends to provide the customers with maximum comfort and safety at gas stations,” Jonas Thor Olsen, CEO of Autofuel, said. “The robotic arm doesn’t need human involvement. It allows them to go to the shop for a coffee or take a short break while the car is refueled.”

Autofuel’s solution consists of a robotic arm housed within the fuel pump, and a series of sensors and cameras designed to keep things running smoothly. Cameras detect the vehicle’s registration number, so the system is able to detect what kind of fuel it requires. Another camera directs the car to stop in a certain area so that the arm can easily reach the fuel tank door. The arm itself then starts to move, opening the door, selecting the right fuel and finally refueling the car.

The whole thing looks great in promotional videos, but after one of them recently became popular online, people brought up a few concerns. First of all, in order for the entire process to work, one needs to have their vehicle registered with Autofuel. That’s information many people have no inclination to share for something as small as refueling. Also, the speed at which the robotic arm operates worries a lot of people as it appears to move much slower than a human.

With robots and Al becoming such a big part of our lives lately, it’s easy to imagine solutions like Autofuel becoming mainstream in the near future. But any new innovation has to be tested and improved over and over again.

【1】What is a robotic arm’s promotional advantage concerning car refueling?

A．It moves faster than a human.

B．It doesn’t need car registration.

C．It can park cars automatically.

D．It requires no human assistance.

【2】What does the underlined word “inclination” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Opportunity.

B．Permission.

C．Willingness.

D．Ability.

【3】How does the author find the robotic arm?

A．It is well accepted.

B．It is far from perfect.

C．Its structure is strange.

D．Its function is meaningless.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．This Robotic Arm Will Refuel Your Car

B．An Innovation Has Been Improved Greatly

C．Some Negative Views on a Refueling Solution

D．A More Efficient Assistant at the Gas Station

26、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。

There's a Crocodile in Our Pickle Jar(咸菜缸)

“Alex, your brother ate everything on his plate. Why don't you be a good boy too and eat your dinner?” said Alex's Mom, “I guess you won't be hungry for sweets then”.

"But I'm not hungry," said Alex.

Alex's Mom walked over to the countertop and brought over the most mouth-watering, tasty looking dessert you ever did see. "Okay, who wants a piece of chocolate cake?” Before anyone else at the table could speak a single word, Alex called out, “Me, me, me, me, me!”

“Alex, you just said you’re not hungry,“ said Alex's Mom. "How could you possibly want a piece of cake?”

“I just got hungry all of a sudden,“ said Alex.

“Good, I bet you're ready to eat your peas and carrots then.”

"I'm not hungry for them. I'll just have a piece of cake please,“ said Alex.

“Alex, it doesn't work that way. To get a piece of cake you'll have to eat your dinner first. ”

"But I don't want too!”

“Well, I guess you'll just have to call it a night,” said Alex's Dad. "You're excused from the table Alex. Brush your teeth and get to bed, young man.”

“Yes, sir," replied Alex.

As Alex stood up from the table, his brother pretended to be flying an airplane. After a bite of chocolate cake made a safe landing in his brother's mouth, Alex ran out of the room as fast as he could. Being sent to bed without having dessert was tough enough, but being teased by his brother is what really took the cake.

After he brushed his teeth and climbed into bed, Alex found it hard to fall asleep that night. His stomach sounded like an angry lion and he felt dizzy. Alex was so hungry that he felt weak and the room was spinning! As he made his way to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door, Alex could hardly wait to sneak a nice big piece of chocolate cake. He knew that would make him feel better.
