The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful — both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks — both on a computer and by hand. The study, published last year, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas,” Berninger said.
“Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. “Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,” says Berninger, “but also to find out spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.”
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”
4．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past
A．The importance of writing by hand.
B．The lack of practice in handwriting.
C．The use of new technologies like computers and smartphones.
D．The belief that handwriting skills are unnecessary for success.
5．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling
A．Spelling improves one’s long-run memory of words.
B．Spelling ability is closely connected to writing ability.
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D．Spelling slows down finding right words to express ideas.
6．What does the underlined expression “mind’s eye” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Wind. B．Spirit. C．Imagination. D．Picture.
7．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage
A．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C．Computers can help people with their choice of words.
D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

We are now having face- to- face chats with friends instead of talking online. But have you ever been in a conversation that you wish you could run away from Scientists have proved that you might not be alone.
A research team surveyed 806 participants (参与者) about a recent conversation they had with someone close to them. The participants were asked about the actual length and their expected length of the conversation, and how long they thought the other person wanted to talk for.
About one-third of the conversation length was unwanted, according to the team’s paper published in the journal PNAS. Also, more participants believed that they wanted to end the conversation first. On average, they continued talking for 3.87 minutes before they found that the other speaker wished the same thing. Situations are similar when it comes to strangers. Only about 1.6 percent of the conversations ended when both parties wanted them to.
The paper pointed out that when they talk to strangers, what makes people “mask their desires” may be their politeness. When talking to close friends and family, it may be their kindness as ending the chat too soon may hurt the other’s feelings.
So, what is the best way to end a conversation Saying you only have a certain amount of time to talk at the start of the chat is a good place to start. “Remember conversations don’t end because people don’t know when the other person wants to go,” Adam Mastroianni who led the study told the Inverse website. You should make your partner feel good about the end of the chat by “clearly communicating that you had a nice time and would like to talk again”.
Mastroianni also suggested that the difficulty in ending conversations may be a “coordination (协调) problem”. It’s hard to tell your grandma you want to get off the phone just because you want the conversation to be over, for example.
However, in some ways, this dilemma (困境) may not be a bad thing. People need social connections, and conversation is a good way to make these connections happen.
8．What did the researchers find out in their survey
A．Most conversations ended when both speakers wanted.
B．Nearly half of the length of conversations was unwanted.
C．Ending conversations with strangers was easier than with friends.
D．Many people want to escape the conversation longer than they expect.
9．Why do people tend to hide their desire to end the conversation with strangers
A．To show their politeness. B．To gain social connections.
C．To avoid hurting others’ feelings. D．To make the conversation last longer.
10．According to Adam Mastroianni, what is an effective way to end a conversation
A．Saying goodbye immediately. B．Clearly communicating your desire.
C．Expressing your eagerness to talk again. D．Reminding the other of your limited time.
11．What is the author’s attitude towards the dilemma of ending conversations
A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.

Mosquitoes (蚊子) carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering (基因工程) to make them into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is short-term,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “because mosquitoes are very tough little insects, and their populations can quickly increase.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is completely different from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grow inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a Herculean task.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the gene-edited mosquitoes worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be done on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that natural ways to reduce malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and use mosquitoes that can’t be controlled once sent into the wild ” she asks.
12．What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A．Mosquitoes can reproduce quickly.
B．Mosquitoes can be easily controlled.
C．Mosquitoes have killed thousands of people.
D．Mosquitoes have been used to fight against malaria.
13．What does the underlined phrase “a Herculean task” in Para.4 mean
A．A great comfort. B．A tough job. C．A narrow escape. D．A key factor.
14．What is environmentalists’ attitude towards this new approach
A．Unconcerned. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Unclear.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．Preventing Malaria with a New Vaccine.
B．Curing Malaria with Gene-edited mosquitoes.
C．Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
D．Controlling Malaria by Engineering Mosquitoes’ Genes

We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most embarrassing situations. 16
All you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home. 17 Worse still, the agreement on the sale is between the person who bought it and the shop.
So you will have to tell your favourite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is not always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it. 18 For example, if the buyer was told that a switch was voice-operated and later found out it was not, then action could be taken. You would have the right to return it and get the money back.
Many big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards return and see it as a gesture of good will to exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well-known for their “no argument” policy on returned goods. However, shoppers should remember this is a privilege, not a right.
So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund, the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the goods. 19 You have every right to demand a cash refund or a replacement, but only if you have returned it within a “reasonable” time.
20 Some shops and stores expect things to be returned within a week of purchase, while others may permit a much longer time limit. In any case, if you return a thing after what is considered a “reasonable” time, then all you are legally entitled to is the cost of repair.
A．Either the thing has to be broken or unsuitable for the job it was intended to do.
B．It is often difficult to look pleased when you receive a gift which is useless or the wrong size.
C．Unfortunately, the law does not explain what it meant by “reasonable”.
D．You should make clear what your legal position is before returning goods to the shop.
E．It is unlike anything you would buy for yourself.
F．In that case, it is a different story.
G．However, you have no right to change an article purchased just because it does not ft or is not to your liking.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
Paragraph 1:
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.

At the sight of the French toast and porridge, their mum let out a cry, “What a surprise!” Tears welled up in her eyes, She ate up the porridge and bread, and asked, “You did it all by yourselves ” “It’s a secret!” said their father when he came in. “Yes, it’s a secret, hahaha” answered the twins. The early sunlight streaming in, the whole family bathed in love in happiness.高一英语参考答案

As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. “Oh dear, I thought it was your mother here in the kitchen, anyway, what are you doing here ” “Oh, Daddy, today is Mother’s Day, we just want to prepare a French breakfast for mum, but,” sighed Jeff, “we just don’t know how to handle the porridge and bread”. “It’s a good idea, let me help you.” Under their father’s instruction, Jenna stirred the eggs and poured it on the pan. Several minutes later, it was fully cooked. To avoid the hot pot burning his hand again, Jeff took his father’s tips, picked the pot by a wet cloth, and stirred the porridge patiently. Soon a perfect French breakfast was done. Jeff and Jenna lit up again. They put everything in order in the kitchen again. “Go to give your mother a surprise!” their father suggested.
