Sme might say that handwriting has becme a dying art since the appearance f the typewriter in the mid 1880’s,even mre s due t cmputers.In fact,many schls in the United States n lnger required teaching cursive(草体) as a part f the cre curriculums.Hwever,despite the sense that writing n paper is ut f fashin,it actually has a number f very imprtant benefits.
Writing by hand is nt nly imprtant fr language prcessing and memry,it is als imprtant fr cgnitive(认知) develpment.A Psychlgy Tday blg lays ut the ways in which learning t write by hand teaches the brain “functinal specializatin” r in ther wrds,the best efficiency.In learning t write by hand,the human brain must integrate sensatin,mvement cntrl,and thinking.Fr whatever reasn,it des nt d s when learning t type.
Writing by hands’ cgnitive benefits are numerus and there are many studies that can prve that.A 2021 study by the University f Tky shws that writing n paper culd help students recall materials better than typing n a keybard.Likewise,a 2014 study frm the Assciatin fr Psychlgical Science shws that taking ntes n a laptp as ppsed t writing them lnghand,leads t shallwer prcessing f the material learned.This is because when using a laptp,students will ften type ut lectures wrd fr wrd,as ppsed t prcessing infrmatin and rewrding it in their wn language.
These benefits actually translate t hw yu recall the infrmatin.In this case writing it by hand instead f typing als helps students d better n exams.A study led by Dr.Virginia Berninger,a prfessr f the University f Washingtn,suggests that children wrte lnger and mre cmplex essays when they were writing by hand,as ppsed t using a keybard.“Children cnsistently did better writing with a pen when they wrte essays.They wrte mre and they wrte faster,” Berninger tld Futurity.
S the next time yu sit dwn t write an email t a lved ne,cnsider the pssibility that it might be better fr yur brain if yu wrte a handwritten letter instead.

The printed bk is back.Recent studies have shwn that students keep in mind mre infrmatin when they read a hard-cpy bk cmpared t reading n a digital device.
I lve the way we nw judge printed bks using the language f the digital wrld.E-bks may cme with a “suite f guiding tls”,but it turns ut that the best guiding devices are yur fingers.Yu can use them t lk thrugh the pages frwards and backwards.T think,all this time,thse devices have just been sitting there,hanging at the end f yur arm.
Fans f digital bks may pint ut that e-readers have a handy “search” tl.Old-fashined bks als have a search functin,in which yu turn back t the pening chapter t remind yurself f the her’s descriptin.They even have a “bkmark system”,which uses a device called a “bkmark”.
Fans f the e-bk pint ut that digital text is easy t anntate.Sme devices even feature a little image f a pencil t guide the reader thrugh the prcess.Traditinal-bk users have a similar system called a “pencil”.With it,favured passages can be underlined and,if it’s a histry bk,cmments can be written in the margin(页边),such as “Nt s,accrding t The Decline and Fall f the Rman Empire.” Thus nted,such bks can be left arund fr thers t study,cnvincing family members f yur insight.
The printed bk,f curse,has ther advantages.A full bkshelf is at nce a sund base and a stre f knwledge.And any prperly thumbed bk will always fall pen at the sexiest scene.Als,the smell f ld bks in a secnd-hand bkshp is instantly remindful.Yes,it’s a mix f muld(霉味) and ld paper,but t me it represents pssibility.
Educatinal fashins cme and g,s maybe the shift back t traditinal bks wn’t last.But fr the mment,I find myself standing at attentin,extending my textbk-built shulders and saluting their glrius return.
In the debate abut which is better,it seems that the hard-cpy bk is harder t knck ut than riginally thught.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了印刷书籍的回归及其原因。
5.Why des the authr use the digital language t judge printed bks?
A.T explain cncepts.
B.T highlight develpment f languages.
C.T please readers.
D.T make better cmparisns.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。关键词定位在第二段。根据第二段第一句“I lve the way we nw judge printed bks using the language f the digital wrld.”以及在文章各处的引用的电子术语“suite f guiding tls” “search” “bkmark system” “pencil”这些传统的纸质书阅读中的术语,可能在电子书阅读时代被赋予了新的内涵,但重点还是第二段中的“judge printed bks using the language f the digital wrld”可推知,作者喜欢使用这些电子时代的语言来评判纸质书,更多是为了在两者之间更好地作比较。通过下文看,作者也是一条一条来说明的。第二段就电子书籍便捷的导引功能,作者提到事实证明,最好的导引工具还是人的手指;第三段提到电子书籍便捷的搜索功能,作者指出纸质书同样具备此功能,而且还具备“书签系统”;第三段提到电子书籍便于加注,作者提出纸质书读者用铅笔加注,遇到喜欢的章节,可以加下划线,若是历史书籍,还可以在页边处写评论,以便与家人分享你的观点。故选D项。
6.What des the underlined wrd “anntate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Search. B.Access.
C.Add ntes.D.Get infrmatin.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Fans f the e-bk pint ut that digital text is easy t anntate.”以及下面的举例可知,用铅笔可将喜欢的段落标注下划线,若是历史书籍,可在页边题写评论。由此可推断,anntate一词意为“加注”。故选C项。
7.What attracts the readers as t printed bks?
A.Value f senses.B.Knwledge strage.
C.Bkshelves.D.Bkstres.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。本题定位在第五段。此段首句“The printed bk,f curse,has ther advantages.”表示除了上述纸质书阅读与电子阅读的区别(或者说,与电子阅读相比,纸质书略胜一筹外),纸质书还独具一些优势:一个摆满书的书架总是一个显眼的地方,那里存贮了满满的知识,而且人们高赞的书籍总是打开,摆在最耀眼的位置;根据第五段第四、五句可知,印刷书的气味是霉味和旧报纸的混合气味,但于作者而言,这种气味代表(获取知识)的无限可能性。故选A项。
8.Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A.Why E-bks Are Cnvenient
B.Why the Printed Bk Is Back
C.Why Educatinal Fashins Change
D.Why Digital Reading Becmes Ppular
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。文章开宗明义,提出“The printed bk is back.”,印刷书籍重新兴起,而且用研究结论来支撑。研究表明:学生通过阅读纸质书籍,比在电子阅读中记住更多的信息。下文大篇幅就印刷书与电子书的优缺点展开比较,尤其突出了使用印刷书阅读的美好体验。最后一段回归主题,进行总结:尽管传统书籍的回归不一定持续多长时间,但此时此刻,“我”向这种回归致敬。与文章开头相照应。因此,“印刷书为何回归”是最佳标题。故选B项。
C
The mnarch is perhaps the best-knwn butterfly in Nrth America.Every fall,they migrate frm the US and Canada t Califrnia and Mexic fr the winter,breeding multiple generatins alng the way.But nw the mnarch is in truble.Due t habitat lss,milkweed,the plants that the butterfly caterpillars feed n,are fewer and farther between,s the number f mnarch is declining.
In the 1990s,researchers at the University f Minnesta decided t use citizen science t cllect lng-term data n mnarch caterpillars and milkweed habitat in rder t prvide infrmatin that decisin makers can use t help prevent the mnarch’s decline.The Mnarch Larva Mnitring Prject has grwn t invlve vlunteers frm acrss Nrth America.
Participants vlunteer t mnitr a particular site—ften their wn backyards.Thrugh nline r in-persn training,the vlunteers learn hw t identify milkweed as well as the eggs,caterpillars and pupae(蛹) f mnarch butterflies.They als learn abut the mnarch’s migratin.Each year,vlunteers recrd when milkweed plants first cme ut f the grund and hw many are present at the site they are mnitring.Then,n a weekly basis,they recrd the number f eggs and caterpillars they see.The final step is entering the data int an nline database.
Fr citizen science prjects,data validity(效度) can be a cncern.Sme say that nn-scientists can’t be trusted t cllect reliable data.The prject addresses such cncerns by using a standardized rules and requiring repeated bservatins f the same species in the same place.The MLMP als ffers training,and all data are carefully checked befre used fr research purpses.Anther challenge is getting vlunteers t reprt zeres r the lack f mnarchs.As the mnarch ppulatin declines,vlunteers may be discuraged and nt want t cllect data.MLMP staff wrk with vlunteers t highlight the imprtance f knwing where mnarchs are nt fund.
The prject is successfully meeting its cre purpse:t help scientists better understand hw and why mnarch ppulatins are changing.Data prvided by citizen scientists have frmed the basis fr a grwing number f scientific publicatins.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍为有效阻止北美“魅力昆虫”君王斑蝶数量减少,启用了公民科学项目,旨在让社会公众参与重要科学研究,构建老少咸宜的户外科学课堂。
9.Why is the number f mnarch butterflies declining?
A.They are influenced by the cld weather.
B.There are fewer milkweed plants alng the way.
C.Many butterfly caterpillars lse their habitats.
D.The distance f their migratin becmes lnger.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Due t habitat lss,milkweed,the plants that the butterfly caterpillars feed n,are fewer and farther between,s the number f mnarch is declining.”可知,由于栖息地的丧失,蝴蝶幼虫赖以为食的草属植物(植物乳草)的大面积减少,因此君王斑蝶数量减少。故选B项。
10.What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A.The applicatin f citizen science in the prject.
B.Findings f Mnarch Larva Mnitring Prject.
C.The establishment f the mnarch nline data base.
D.The reasn f citizen science being adpted.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。文章第二段提到,明尼苏达大学的研究者们启用了公民科学项目,采集君王斑蝶幼虫和草属植物栖息地的长周期数据信息,来有效阻止君王斑蝶数量的减少。这家公益项目已吸纳北美的志愿者。承接上文,第三段详细介绍这个项目的应用情况。第三段第一句中的“Participants vlunteer t mnitr a particular site”很明显交代了主旨,参与者自愿在特定区域(一般在自己后院)监控,通过网上或者亲身培训,志愿者学会如何鉴别植物乳草,如何辨别君王斑蝶幼虫虫卵、毛虫以及蛹(从卵,到成虫,再到蛹的整个孵化过程)。志愿者还得学会关于君王斑蝶迁徙的知识。每年负责记录乳草刚露芽时,君王斑蝶出现在监控区域的数量,而后每周记录出现的虫卵及幼虫数量,最后将数据上传到网络数据库。故选A项。
11.What wuld be the challenge f the citizen science prjects?
A.The legality f the prtcl(协议).
B.The training quality fr vlunteers.
C.The research cmpetence f citizens.
D.The reliability f the cllected data.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Fr citizen science prjects,data validity can be a cncern.Sme say that nn-scientists can’t be trusted t cllect reliable data.”可知,在公民科学项目中,数据的有效性(可信度)令人担忧。有人担心这些非科学家公民采集的数据不可信。其实段中还提及项目的另一个挑战,就是志愿者们对君王斑蝶的零上报或者监控区域没有君王斑蝶。鉴于君王斑蝶数量不断减少,人们收集数据的热情可能受挫,当然针对这一现象,MLMP也有相应的对策。故选D项。
12.What is the authr’s attitude twards the prject?
A.Unclear.B.Dismissive.
C.Dubtful.D.Apprving.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段描述,这个项目成功达成核心目标:帮助科学家更好理解君王斑蝶数量如何变化及变化的原因。公民科学家提供的数据也形成了多项研究的基础。故选D项。
