Althugh cmputer technlgy is ften necessary tday, using a pen r pencil activates mre areas f yur brain than a keybard des. Yu can ptentially remember mre by handwriting, accrding t a new study.
The ptential benefits f handwriting fr memry have been debated fr sme time. The new study set ut t answer ne questin: Hw des handwriting cmpare t using a keybard when it cmes t remembering new infrmatin?
In ttal 24 participants tk part. Researchers asked each f them t write with a pen and then each was als asked t type n a keybard.

The wrld is designed fr right-handed peple, but why des a tenth f the ppulatin prefer the left? 36
The answer t it remains a bit f a mystery. 37 S it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic (基因的) cmpnent t it. In ther wrds, left-handers are brn that way. In fact, identical twins, wh share the same genes, can smetimes prefer t use different hands. There are als plenty f theries n what else might determine which hand yu write with, but many experts believe that it's kind f randm (随机的).
38 The unfavurable assciatins f the use f the left hand amng cultures are varied. In sme areas, the left hand became knwn as the “unclean” hand. In many religins, the right hand f Gd is the favured hand. Fr example, Jesus sits at Gd's right side. Gd's left hand, hwever, is the hand f judgment. Varius activities and experiences becme rude r even signs f bad luck when the left hand becmes invlved. In sme parts f Sctland, it is cnsidered bad luck t meet a left-handed persn at the start f a jurney. In Ghana, pinting, gesturing, giving r receiving items with the left hand is cnsidered rude. A persn giving directins will put their left hand behind them and even physically try t pint with their righthand if necessary. 39
Frtunately, nwadays mst scieties and cultures n lnger reject left-handedness like befre. Peple cme t realize that left-handedness is natural. Sme researchers find ut that lefties are mre creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is mre easily adaptable t the right-handed wrld as well. 40 Instead, it is a wnderful gift r maybe it is smething yu shuld take pride in.
A. Being left-handed is n lnger a sad stry nw. s
B. Left-handedness used t be regarded as a disability.
C. Scientists have nticed that left-handedness tends t run in families.
D. In sme Asian cuntries, eating with the left hand is cnsidered implite.
E. Why d they use their left hand instead f their right hand fr rutine activities?
F. Histrically, the left side and left-handedness have been cnsidered a negative thing.
G. Why d sme parents frce their left-handed children t be right-handed when writing?

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新研究表明，手写更有利于记忆，介绍了研究开展的经过，研究的负责人还解释了为什么手写比打字复杂以及研究的作者对使用键盘的看法。
32. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中“While perfrming these tasks, each vlunteer wre a cap that held electrdes next t their head. It lked smewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensrs. Thse sensrs recrded the participants' brainwaves.（在执行这些任务时，每个志愿者都戴着一顶帽子，帽子上把电极放在他们的头上。它看起来有点像一个装有256个传感器的发网。这些传感器记录了参与者的脑电波。）”可知，参与者被要求在研究中戴帽子是为了记录他们的脑电波。
33. C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. ‘This is because writing invlves cmplex mvements that activate mre areas f the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain mre ‘hks’ t hang yur memries n.’ she explains. （这项新研究的负责人奥德丽·范德米尔说，这表明当我们用手写字时，我们的记忆力更好。‘这是因为书写涉及复杂的运动，可以激活大脑的更多区域。大脑活动的增加会让大脑有更多的‘钩子’来勾住你的记忆。’她解释说。）”可知，手写能帮助你记住更多的细节。
34. A 词义猜测题。根据“cmputers and ther devices with keybards have becme indispensable in mdern sciety”可知，计算机和有键盘的其他设备在现代社会变得必不可少。indispensable意为“必不可少的”，与necessary意思接近。
35. C 标题归纳题。根据全文的主要内容，尤其第一段的“Althugh cmputer technlgy is ften necessary tday, using a pen r pencil activates mre areas f yur brain than a keybard des. Yu can ptentially remember mre by handwriting, accrding t a new study. （虽然计算机技术在今天是必不可少的，但使用钢笔或铅笔比使用键盘更能激活大脑的某些区域。根据一项新的研究，你可能通过书写来记住更多的东西。）”可知，文章主要说明了一项新研究表明，手写更有利于记忆，介绍了研究开展的经过，研究的负责人还解释了为什么手写比打字复杂以及研究的作者对使用键盘的看法。可知，“Handwriting Is Better fr Memry Than Typing（书写比打字更利于记忆）”最符合文章标题。
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。短文说明了基因可能是造成人左撇子的原因，在历史上不同文化中，左撇子被认为是一种消极的东西，现在大多数社会和文化不再像以前那样排斥左撇子。研究发现左撇子的人更有创造力，所以左撇子的人应该以自己是左撇子而自豪。
36. E 考查上下文逻辑推理。由“The answer t it remains a bit f a mystery.”可知，答案仍然是一个谜。所以本句是对此题的回答。故E选项“为什么他们在日常活动中用左手而不是右手?”符合句意。
37. C 考查上下文逻辑推理。由“S it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic cmpnent t it.”可知，“Scientists have nticed that left-handedness tends t run in families. （科学家们已经注意到左撇子倾向于在家族中遗传。）”符合语境。
38. F 考查段落主题句。由“The unfavurable assciatins f the use f the left hand amng cultures are varied. In sme areas, the left hand became knwn as the ‘unclean’ hand… In sme parts f Sctland, it is cnsidered bad luck t meet a left-handed persn at the start f a jurney. ”可知，不同文化之间对于使用左手的不利联系是多种多样的。在一些地区，左手被称为‘不干净的’手。在苏格兰的一些地区，人们认为旅行开始时遇到左撇子会带来厄运。故段落主题句“在历史上，左边和左手都被认为是消极的”符合语境。
39. D考查上下文逻辑推理。本段列举了世界上的一些地区对左手的偏见。“In sme Asian cuntries, eating with the left hand is cnsidered implite. ”是对这一现象的举例说明，符合语境。
40. A 考查上下文逻辑推理。由“Instead, it is a wnderful gift r maybe it is smething yu shuld take pride
in. （相反，这是一份极好的礼物，或者也许是你应该引以为豪的东西。）”可知，“Being left-handed is n lnger a sad stry nw.（成为左撇子不再是一个悲伤的故事。）”符合语境。

After everything was ready, I arranged fr ur parents t attend the perfrmance.

In the small twn f Funtain Hills and the nearby area, nature was dying ff quickly. Sme peple thught it was because it hardly rained at all during last winter, and it was ne f the driest winters the area had experienced n recrd. It was s bad that sme peple even thught that the gvernment was ding secret chemical testing. The farmland arund Funtain Hills was n lnger prducing gd fd, and peple were getting sick mre ften. One day, sme scientists came t see if they culd find ut the cause. As they were walking thrugh a field that was nly half-full f sunflwers, they nticed smething unusual: the silence. Except a few black birds calling, there was n nise. They knew smething imprtant was missing—the bees! The scientists rushed back t the twn and discvered that the lcal gvernment had been killing ff the large ppulatin f bees there. Frtunately, the scientists came up with a slutin. They ffered t teach the lcal peple abut hw bees are gd fr the envirnment and their lives, and hw bees wuld help the area start grwing again. “We dn't want t waste it, either, but what can we d?” Indi asked helplessly.
As the lights went up, tw cute little squirrels scampered (蹦蹦跳跳) int the middle f the stage.
