21、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
22、 I was ever bullied badly when I was in high school. One kid in particular would try to make me feel worse in every way he knew. For example， he would throw stuff at me constantly， hit me on the head， punch（殴打）me， call me ugly and stupid， make fun of me and， of course tell me he would beat me up if I ever fought back. It was like his daily mission.
And it was my daily mission to just get through the day. What could I say？ It made my world very small because that was my main focus---just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unfortunately， that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny， but it was very lonely.
Looking back to that time， which was about 11 years ago， my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone into that world of mine. I was too proud （and embarrassed） to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind， that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.
Let me just say this： bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason why they come after you is that they think you won't do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong？ Absolutely not. Be stronger---ask a parent， a teacher or a friend for help. Simply admit that you are struggling and need help.
You can put it like this， "Somebody who is weak and trying to build himself or herself up has chosen to do that by putting me down. The only reason why they are doing that is that I am nice and I haven't done anything about it yet. Well I am through putting up with this. I have basic human rights that they are trying to take away to feel better and that is just not OK. How do I handle this？ I don't want the pain cycle to continue and I don't want to become someone I don't want to be.
【1】What did the author do when he was bullied？
A.He just hoped that he could survive the day.
B.He fell by the wayside.
C.He called for help immediately.
D.He fought back bravely.
【2】The author suggests ______ to fight bullies.
A.getting used to the pain as soon as possible
B.keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life
C.looking for help from parents， teachers or friends
D.promoting the understanding of basic human rights
【3】The author probably wrote this article to ______ .
A.admit that he had been treated badly at school
B.describe how he got rid of his weak
C.show how grateful he was to those who helped hit
D.share his experience and ideas on dealing with bullies

24、One of the costs of being a lover of old trees is the all-too-frequent loss of a beautiful soul you've grown fond of.Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters.The spring's nonstop rains flooded soils and caused root systems of many large,old trees to rot in part.Then,when the summer came,trees could not tap deep sources of water that would normally have maintained(维持）them.Many valuable old trees died.
When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission,I heard from many people concerned about their trees.We had little to offer them.That's because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees.No state or province program that I could find provided any financial resources for maintaining tree health. Small and under resourced cities such as ours were on their own.
This is backward.Scientists are learning that large,old trees are the most valuable,especially in cities.They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air. They harbor the most wildlife.They can lower summer temperatures by 20 degrees or more.In a recent study,researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees.There's reason to think this finding would apply in other cities,too.
Now,our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too late.As long as we abandon our old trees,planting more is merely to keep pace with growing losses. We want trees to help protect us,but we leave them unprotected.Consider this in the human world:Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and it's why we have schools and child health-insurance programs.We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into them.
【1】What does the underlined part in paragraph1 suggest?
A．Strong determination to plant trees.
B．Real regret at growing old trees.
C．Great concern about tree problems.
D．Deep love for valuable old trees.
【2】Why was the author almost powerless to help people worried about their trees?
A．The urban tree programs were faced with financial problems.
B．The author's knowledge of maintaining tree health was limited.
C．The focus of the tree resources and programs was on tree planting.
D．The organization the author volunteered on was short of tree experts.
【3】The author argues in paragraph 3 by.
A．comparing different cases
B．presenting research findings
C．referring to scientists' sayings
D．carrying out some experiments
【4】Why does the author give the example of nursing babies in the end?
A．To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.
B．To show the close connection between trees and babies.
C．To advocate protecting trees as humans care for babies.
D．To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.
25、When I was a child, I always wanted to be a superhero. I wanted to ________ the world and then make everyone happy. But I knew that I’d need superpower to make my dreams come true. When I grew up and realized that science fiction was not a good source for ________, I decided to go on a journey of ________ science, to find a more useful truth.
I started my journey in California with a UCBerkeley 30-year study that examined the photos of students in some old yearbooks and tried to ________ their success and wellbeing throughout their life. I ________ a celebrity’s picture. When I first saw his picture, I thought that these superpowers came from his super collar. But now I know it was all in his ________.
Smiling stimulates our brain reward mechanism in a way that even chocolate—a well-regarded pleasure inducer—cannot ________. British researchers found that one smile can produce the same ________ of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate. The same study found that smiling is as stimulating as ________ up to 16,000 pounds in cash. That’s like 25 thousand dollars a smile. It’s not bad.
And, unlike lots of chocolate, lots of smiling can actually make you________.
Smiling can help reduce the level of stress-enhancing hormones, increase the level of ________ hormones and reduce overall blood pressure.
