21、When did you last write a letter? Properly write one—by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to ditch your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, duplicated and sent via email. But crafting a handwritten document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the tactile (触觉的) feedback to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary says that “taking notes by hand involves cognitive engagement in summarizing, paraphrasing, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping.” Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Scribbling notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencils yet— especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
【1】What does the underlined word “ditch” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Pick up.
B．Get rid of.
C．Put back.
D．Take advantage of.
【2】How does the author develop paragraph 2?
A．By raising questions.
B．By presenting figures.
C．By giving examples.
D．By making comparisons.
【3】What is the advantage of writing by hand according to Hetty Roessingh?
A．It helps you to practise your handwriting.
B．It boosts motor skills in hands and fingers.
C．It strengthens the contact between humans.
D．It develops your comprehensive cognitive abilities.
【4】What can be drawn from Katherine Moller’s words?
A．Handwriting helps make friends easily.
B．Digital skills remain important nowadays.
C．Writing a letter adds a personal touch to communication.
D．Online communication has become a must in our daily life.
22、To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want to. There are no teachers —only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
【1】What is the main topic of the article?
A．An unusual school.
B．Children’s hobbies.
C．A school without rules.
D．Education in the US.
【2】What does the school believe?
A．Teachers cannot teach children well.
B．Children learn best by doing what they want.
C．Learning is for adults rather than children.
D．Children should do what teachers tell them.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Parents well accepted the school.
B．Some students have been ignored.
C．Fishing is good for students’ study.
D．The school’s idea succeeds in some way.
23、HANDSTITCHED WORLDS: THE CARTOGRAPHY OF QUILTS
Quilts (床罩) are a narrative art; with themes that are political, spiritual, communal, or commemorative, they are infused with history and memory, mapping out intimate stories and legacies through a handcrafted language of design. Handstitched Worlds: The Cartography of Quilts is an invitation to read quilts as maps, tracing the paths of individual histories that illuminate larger historic events and cultural trends.
Spanning the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, this insightful and engaging exhibition brings together 18 quilts from the collection of the American Folk Art Museum, New York, representing a range of materials, motifs, and techniques from traditional early-American quilts to more contemporary sculptural assemblages. The quilts in Handstitched Worlds show us how this too-often overlooked medium balances creativity with tradition, individuality with collective zeitgeist. Like a road map, these unique works offer a path to a deeper understanding of the American cultural fabric.
Number of Works:18 quilts

24、Marcelo Toledo usually creates works of art out of metal. Now the Argentine artist is working with a new material: waste masks from the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病）to create an exhibition exploring the painful impact of the virus.
Toledo, who has made decorations for the musical “Evita” on Broadway,was among the first in Argentina to be infected(感染）by COVID-19,which left him in hospital for eight days. The experience led to a series of artworks, including a 14-meter mask with the Argentine flag that he placed on the famous Obelisk in Buenos Aires to raise awareness of organ donation(器官捐赠）during the pandemic.
For his new exhibition, the "Museum of the After,"Toledo is collecting recycled coronavirus waste which is sent by hospitals, laboratories and people,including old material parts and newspapers about the pandemic. “I am excited to be able to change pain into beauty and this exhibition is just recording everything that is happening to us as a society,” Toledo said. The artworks,which will go on show from September in a public space, will all be made from waste materials or garbage that people send him.
In the exhibition,there will be a real ship that will symbolically(象征地） cross a“storm”to raise awareness of the importance caring for the environment. “The exhibition will tell the story of this ship that went on sailing after the storm, which is a great symbol for what is happening to us.This pandemic is a great global storm,” Toledo said.
As with the huge mask, which was copied in countries such as the United States and Japan, the artist hopes to copy the exhibition in other cities around the world.
【1】What caused Toledo to make the 14-meter mask?
A．His stay in hospital.
B．His fear of COVID-19.
C．His experiences in Broadway.
D．His research on organ donation.
【2】What is special about the artworks in the "Museum of the After"?

B．We should make every effort to beat the pandemic.
C．Our irresponsible behavior leads to natural disasters.
D．The COVID-19 pandemic brings us a lot of suffering.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

25、 One summer afternoon, when I was about eight years of age, I was looking at a beautiful rainbow. Somebody said, “If you should go to the ____ of the rainbow, you would find there great pots of gold and silver.” Without ____, I rushed from the house, and set off toward the woods.
