Nate had recently transferred to our school. Before he joined my class, I was informed by the headteacher that he used a wheelchair. I learned that when he was three, Nate had undergone amputations (截肢) of his legs.
One morning, I noticed that Nate’s seat was empty in the classroom. The headteacher told me that he was in the hospital for a regular surgery. I called Nate’s mother to ask if it would be alright to visit him in the hospital. She expressed gratitude, saying that Nate talked about me often. After school, I made my way to the hospital. As he saw me, his face lit up, his eyebrows raising sharply and his mouth forming a small ‘O’ of disbelief. A few days later, he was discharged and returned to school.
Unfortunately, just as Nate was about to start year three, Nate’s mom couldn’t currently look after him, and he’d been put in foster care (寄养). His social worker Jackie said Nate’s foster home was a three-hour round trip to school. I worried about how it would affect his learning, and the doctors were concerned about him missing medical appointments too. Desperate to help, I thought: Maybe I could foster him
“I’ll have to ask Nate if he’d prefer to live with you,” Jackie explained. She called me from the hospital and put Nate on the phone.
“I’m coming to live with you!” he said and I burst into happy tears. I rushed to the hospital where nurses took me through his daily medication, and all the appointments he’d need to attend. It was demanding, but I was determined to rise to the challenge.
Nate’s 10 now. Although he’ll always have health issues, he’s such a positive boy and I feel honored to be his mom. I may have started out as Nate’s teacher, but he’s the one who taught me an incredible lesson—how to be a parent.
4. How was Nate feeling when he saw the author in the hospital
A. Worried. B. Astonished. C. Upset. D. Satisfied.
5. What made the author decide to adopt Nate
A. The suggestion of Nate’s social worker.
B. The unexpected illness of Nate’s mother.
C. The thirst of the author’s husband for a child.
D. The inconvenience of Nate’s living in the foster home.
6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. Nate hesitated to accept the adoption. B. Nate was pessimistic about his recovery.
C. Nate inspired the author while living with her. D. Nate got deeply troubled by the daily medication.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Parenting: A Lifelong Career B. A Moving Experience on the Wheelchair
C. Love: An Unconditional Acceptance D. A Sympathetic Bond Beyond the Classroom
C
Handwriting notes in class might seem outdated as smartphones and other digital technology cover every aspect of learning across schools and universities. But a steady stream of research continues to suggest that taking notes the traditional way is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. And now scientists are finally zeroing in on why.
The new research, by Audrey van der Meer and Ruud van der Weel at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), builds on a foundational 2014 study suggesting that people taking notes by computer were typing without thinking. “It kind of goes in through your ears and comes out through your fingertips, but you don’t process the incoming information,” she says. But when taking notes by hand, it’s often impossible to write everything down; students have to actively pay attention to the incoming information and process it — prioritize it, consolidate it and try to relate it to things they’ve learned before. This conscious action of building onto existing knowledge can make it easier to stay engaged and grasp new concepts.
To understand specific brain activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, the researchers sewed electrodes (电极) into a hairnet with 256 sensors that recorded the brain activity of 36 students as they wrote or typed 15 words from the game Pictionary that were displayed on a screen.
When students wrote the words by hand, the sensors detected widespread connectivity across many brain regions. Typing, however, led to minimal activity, if any, in the same areas. Handwriting set off connection patterns covering visual regions, which receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex (运动皮层). The latter handles body movement and sensorimotor integration, which helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action.
Sophia Vinci-Booher, an assistant professor of educational brain science at Vanderbilt University, says, “People may not realize when they materialize something by writing or drawing it, this strengthens the concept and helps it stick in their memory.”
8. What do we know about the new research
A. It is an initial study on note-taking. B. It offers a new note-taking method.
C. It finds the evidence for previous finding. D. It introduces how to take notes effectively.
9. What does the underlined word “consolidate” probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Integrate. B. Demonstrate. C. Obtain. D. Share.
10. What happens in the brain when taking notes by hand
A. Visual systems are lacking in activities. B. Some brain areas are highly involved.
C. Sensory information is processed rapidly. D. The motor cortex accepts visual information.
11. What is Sophia Vinci-Booher’s attitude towards the new research
A. Approving. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
D
Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied.
Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of urban agriculture —such as vertical (垂直的) farms and rooftop greenhouses. The new study aimed to fill some of the knowledge gaps by comparing the carbon footprints of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to conventional crops.
The researchers calculated the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with on-farm materials and activities over the lifetime of the farm. The emissions, expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of food, were then compared to foods raised by conventional methods.
Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season.
“By assessing actual inputs and outputs on urban agriculture sites, we were able to determine climate change impacts to each serving of produce,” says study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein, assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability. On average, food produced through urban agriculture released 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kg CO2e per serving of conventionally grow n produce.
It’s also found that most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the infrastructure (基础设施), such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots. “These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, instead, is very efficient and hard to compete with”, Goldstein says. For example, conventional farms often grow a single crop with the help of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in larger harvests and a reduced carbon footprint when compared to urban farms, he says.
12. What is a benefit of urban agriculture
A. Sustainable food supply. B. High food output.
C. Effective energy conservation. D. Low carbon footprint.
13. How is the research data collected
A. By accessing online database. B. By examining previous studies.
C. By conducting personal interviews. D. By recording information every day.
14. What could be done to reduce carbon footprint according to Goldstein
A. Increase varieties of crops. B. Extend infrastructure lifetimes.
C. Promote rooftop greenhouses. D. Use modern agriculture facilities.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The benefits of traditional crops. B. The popularity of urban agriculture.
C. The strategies to fight global warming. D. The carbon footprint of urban farm produce.

Nate had recently transferred to our school. Before he joined my class, I was informed by the headteacher that he used a wheelchair. I learned that when he was three, Nate had undergone amputations (截肢) of his legs.
One morning, I noticed that Nate’s seat was empty in the classroom. The headteacher told me that he was in the hospital for a regular surgery. I called Nate’s mother to ask if it would be alright to visit him in the hospital. She expressed gratitude, saying that Nate talked about me often. After school, I made my way to the hospital. As he saw me, his face lit up, his eyebrows raising sharply and his mouth forming a small ‘O’ of disbelief. A few days later, he was discharged and returned to school.
Unfortunately, just as Nate was about to start year three, Nate’s mom couldn’t currently look after him, and he’d been put in foster care (寄养). His social worker Jackie said Nate’s foster home was a three-hour round trip to school. I worried about how it would affect his learning, and the doctors were concerned about him missing medical appointments too. Desperate to help, I thought: Maybe I could foster him
“I’ll have to ask Nate if he’d prefer to live with you,” Jackie explained. She called me from the hospital and put Nate on the phone.
“I’m coming to live with you!” he said and I burst into happy tears. I rushed to the hospital where nurses took me through his daily medication, and all the appointments he’d need to attend. It was demanding, but I was determined to rise to the challenge.
Nate’s 10 now. Although he’ll always have health issues, he’s such a positive boy and I feel honored to be his mom. I may have started out as Nate’s teacher, but he’s the one who taught me an incredible lesson—how to be a parent.
4. How was Nate feeling when he saw the author in the hospital
A. Worried. B. Astonished. C. Upset. D. Satisfied.
5. What made the author decide to adopt Nate
A. The suggestion of Nate’s social worker.
B. The unexpected illness of Nate’s mother.
C. The thirst of the author’s husband for a child.
D. The inconvenience of Nate’s living in the foster home.
6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. Nate hesitated to accept the adoption. B. Nate was pessimistic about his recovery.
C. Nate inspired the author while living with her. D. Nate got deeply troubled by the daily medication.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Parenting: A Lifelong Career B. A Moving Experience on the Wheelchair
C. Love: An Unconditional Acceptance D. A Sympathetic Bond Beyond the Classroom

Handwriting notes in class might seem outdated as smartphones and other digital technology cover every aspect of learning across schools and universities. But a steady stream of research continues to suggest that taking notes the traditional way is still the best way to learn, especially for young children. And now scientists are finally zeroing in on why.
The new research, by Audrey van der Meer and Ruud van der Weel at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), builds on a foundational 2014 study suggesting that people taking notes by computer were typing without thinking. “It kind of goes in through your ears and comes out through your fingertips, but you don’t process the incoming information,” she says. But when taking notes by hand, it’s often impossible to write everything down; students have to actively pay attention to the incoming information and process it — prioritize it, consolidate it and try to relate it to things they’ve learned before. This conscious action of building onto existing knowledge can make it easier to stay engaged and grasp new concepts.
To understand specific brain activity differences during the two note-taking approaches, the researchers sewed electrodes (电极) into a hairnet with 256 sensors that recorded the brain activity of 36 students as they wrote or typed 15 words from the game Pictionary that were displayed on a screen.
When students wrote the words by hand, the sensors detected widespread connectivity across many brain regions. Typing, however, led to minimal activity, if any, in the same areas. Handwriting set off connection patterns covering visual regions, which receive and process sensory information, and the motor cortex (运动皮层). The latter handles body movement and sensorimotor integration, which helps the brain use environmental inputs to inform a person’s next action.
Sophia Vinci-Booher, an assistant professor of educational brain science at Vanderbilt University, says, “People may not realize when they materialize something by writing or drawing it, this strengthens the concept and helps it stick in their memory.”
8. What do we know about the new research
A. It is an initial study on note-taking. B. It offers a new note-taking method.
C. It finds the evidence for previous finding. D. It introduces how to take notes effectively.
9. What does the underlined word “consolidate” probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Integrate. B. Demonstrate. C. Obtain. D. Share.
10. What happens in the brain when taking notes by hand
A. Visual systems are lacking in activities. B. Some brain areas are highly involved.
C. Sensory information is processed rapidly. D. The motor cortex accepts visual information.
11. What is Sophia Vinci-Booher’s attitude towards the new research
A. Approving. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A
D
Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied.
Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of urban agriculture —such as vertical (垂直的) farms and rooftop greenhouses. The new study aimed to fill some of the knowledge gaps by comparing the carbon footprints of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to conventional crops.
The researchers calculated the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with on-farm materials and activities over the lifetime of the farm. The emissions, expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of food, were then compared to foods raised by conventional methods.
Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season.
“By assessing actual inputs and outputs on urban agriculture sites, we were able to determine climate change impacts to each serving of produce,” says study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein, assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability. On average, food produced through urban agriculture released 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kg CO2e per serving of conventionally grow n produce.
It’s also found that most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the infrastructure (基础设施), such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots. “These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, instead, is very efficient and hard to compete with”, Goldstein says. For example, conventional farms often grow a single crop with the help of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in larger harvests and a reduced carbon footprint when compared to urban farms, he says.
12. What is a benefit of urban agriculture
A. Sustainable food supply. B. High food output.
C. Effective energy conservation. D. Low carbon footprint.
13. How is the research data collected
A. By accessing online database. B. By examining previous studies.
C. By conducting personal interviews. D. By recording information every day.
14. What could be done to reduce carbon footprint according to Goldstein
A. Increase varieties of crops. B. Extend infrastructure lifetimes.
C. Promote rooftop greenhouses. D. Use modern agriculture facilities.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The benefits of traditional crops. B. The popularity of urban agriculture.
C. The strategies to fight global warming. D. The carbon footprint of urban farm produce.
