21、Two and a half millennia ago, Socrates complained that writing would harm students. With a way to store ideas permanently and externally, they would no longer need to memorize. However, studies today have found that writing on paper can improve everything from recalling a random series of words to better understanding complex concepts.
For learning material by repetition, the benefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material. The scribbling (涂鸦) on a page feeds into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class as being at the bottom-left on a page.
One of the best-demonstrated advantages of writing by hand seems to be in note-taking. Students typing on computers wrote down almost twice as many words directly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. However, handwriting forces note-takers to process and organize ideas into their own words. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing, resulting in better performance on tests.
Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note. Though America’s curriculum from 2010 does not require handwriting instruction past first grade (roughly age six), about half the states since then have required more teaching of it. In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting and printed books and fewer devices. England’s national curriculum already includes the teaching of basic cursive writing (连写体) skills by age seven.
However, several school systems in America have gone so far as to ban most laptops. This is too extreme. Some students have disabilities that make handwriting especially hard. Nearly all will eventually need typing skills. Virginia Berninger, professor of psychology at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting. But she is not a purist; she says there are research tested benefits for “manuscript” print-style writing but also for typing.
Socrates may or may not have had a point about the downsides of writing. But no one would remember, much less care, if his student Plato had not noted it down for the benefit of future generations.
【1】According to the text, why does writing on paper have benefits for learning?
A．It provides visual enjoyment in class.
B．It improves the effect of memorization.
C．It promotes the motor and sensory ability.
D．It helps to remember the information forever.
【2】How does the author show the emphasis on handwriting instruction at school?
A．By giving examples.
B．By providing statistics.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By making classification.
【3】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．Difficulties faced by the disabled.
B．Unreasonableness of forbidding typing.
C．The research-tested benefits of typing.
D．The longtime advocacy for handwriting.
【4】Why does the writer mention Socrates and Plato in the last paragraph?
A．To thank Plato for his efforts.
B．To defend Socrates’ point of view.
C．To show people’s indifference to typing.
D．To confirm the importance of handwriting.
22、 Why do you run? Different people have different reasons. Whatever your reason is, there’s one thing we can be sure of: Running is much better injury-free. In his book, Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Running Strong, Metzl has the perfect suggestions for enjoying your running without losing your well-being (健康). Here are five must-follow rules for injury-free running:
Train for your level of fitness and your goals.
Don’t run more miles than your body can deal with. If you run for fitness and your goal is about 30 minutes a day, that’s cool. But if you are just starting out, 【1】
Wear the right shoes for your feet.
You will hear lots of opinions about whether running shoes really help prevent injury and whether you should even wear them. 【2】 And some of you may need a little added assistance from inserts (鞋垫).
【3】
Be honest about how much sleep you need and stick to it. The cool runner is the one who wins the race. Sleep will get you there.
Fuel (提供能量) your body right for running and recovery.
【4】 And after a workout or race, you need to deliver nutrients to all the body rebuilders in your muscles, so they can do their job and get you back into tip-top shape for your run tomorrow.
Pay attention to pain.
When pain changes the way you run, stop running. 【5】 And use dynamic rest (动态休息) to stay in shape until you are back on your running feet.
A. Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night.
B. Try to find out what is going on and treat the pain.
C. you need to get there slowly.
D. Running should be seen as fun rather than pain.
E. It is because of the health benefits, including lowering your risk of disease.
F. The right running shoes can help correct foot-movement problems that lead to injury.
G. A good pre-run meal plan is one that keeps you stepping strong.
23、There are many costs of having a negative attitude in the workplace. Employees who don't feel appreciated work less productively. They can have conflicts with other members. Negative bosses spread their bad feelings to employees. Here are some ways to develop a positive spirit in your workplace.
Be a model of kindness and respect. Employees look up to their bosses for an example of how to behave in the workplace. 【1】 It is far better to be patient, kind, and respectful. This is a great way to bring positivity to the workplace.
【2】 When employees are thanked for their good work, it gives them a warm feeling. Everyone likes to be appreciated, and employees often toil(辛苦工作) for years without being thanked for their hard work. Even “thank you” and a hand-shake go a long way toward making an employee feel appreciated.
Make goals clear for everyone. Having a concrete goal to work toward gives employees direction and positivity in the workplace. Employees like to know that their hard work is directed toward a particular end. 【3】 This can be as simple as expressing your pride during a staff meeting.
Put on a smile. Even if you’re having a difficult day, you can spread positivity by smiling. When a boss is smiling, their employees find reasons to smile, too.【4】
Have an office wellness program. Have your human resources staff arrange a fitness program for your employees. 【5】 Don't be punitive(惩罚性的) and tiring. Letting your employees have a break to relax will make them happier and more productive.
A．Make it fun.
B．Encourage communication.
C．Have an attitude of gratitude.
D．When the goals are reached, have a little celebration.
E．When employees are not listened to, they feel unappreciated.
F．If the boss is disrespectful, that will become part of the company culture.
G．Dealing with a boss who is always serious makes the employees difficult to work with.
24、While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize -which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture- -on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Department at the China Academy of Art(CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus （校园）of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves （曲线）of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed, “ he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, “he said.
“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are," said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined, with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
【1】Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are
A. following the latest world trend B. working harder than ever before
C. getting international recognition D. relying on foreign architects
【2】What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?
A. Its unique style. B. Its large size
C. Its hilly environment. D. Its diverse functions.
【3】What made Wang's architectural design a success？
A. The mixture of different shapes. B. The harmony of old and new.
C. The use of popular techniques D. The balance of East and West
【4】What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?
A. Spread them to the world. B. Preserve them at museums.
C. Teach them in universities. D. Recreate them in practice.
