Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
Studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous(极大的) beneficial impacts in terms of memory，brain development，and even the quality of writing itself.
Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the advent of the typewriter in the mid-1880s，even more so due to computers.In fact，nowadays，some schools in the United States no longer require teaching handwriting as a part of the main courses.However，despite the sense that writing on paper is out of fashion，it actually has a number of very important strengths.
Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory，but it is also important for mental development.In learning to write by hand，the human brain must combine feeling，movement control，and thinking.For whatever reason，it does not do so when learning to type.
Writing by hand is good for mental health，and there are some studies that can prove it.Writing on paper can help students recall material better than typing on a keyboard.Similarly，a study from 2014 shows that compared to writing by hand，taking notes on a laptop results in a less deep absorption of the learned material.This is because when using a laptop，students will often type out lectures word for word instead of processing information and rewording it in their own language.
These advantages actually translate to how you recall the information.In this case，writing by hand instead of typing also helps students do better on exams.Children write longer and more complex essays when they are writing by hand，compared with using a keyboard.Children usually do better writing with a pen when they write essays.They write more and faster.
The next time you want to sit down to write an email to a loved one，why not try writing a handwritten letter instead？It can be more beneficial to your brain.Plus，the personal touch of a handwritten letter can make your message even more special and memorable.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了手写相较于打字在记忆、大脑发育和写作质量方面的显著优势，并建议读者尝试手写以获得更多益处。
1．What does the underlined word “advent” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Rent. B．Request.
C．Alarm. D．Appearance.
答案　D
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“In fact，nowadays...as a part of the main courses.”可知，有人可能会说，自从19世纪80年代中期打字机出现以来，手写已经成为一种濒临消亡的艺术，而在电脑出现后更是如此。由此可知，此处想表达的是“自从打字机出现后，手写就不如以前流行了”，advent意为“出现”，与appearance的意思相近。故选D。
2．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about handwriting
A．Its advantages. B．Its types.
C．Its development. D．Its requirements.
答案　A
解析　段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知，手写不仅对语言处理和记忆很重要，而且对大脑发育也很重要。在学习手写的过程中，人类大脑必须将感觉、运动控制和思维结合起来。然而，出于某种原因，在学习打字时，大脑却无法做到这一点。故第三段主要讲述手写的优点。故选A。
3．What happens when students use a laptop instead of a pen to take notes
A．They recall more words.
B．They do better in writing essays.
C．They are less confident about their exams.
D．They have a lower understanding of the material.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“Similarly...results in a less deep absorption of the learned material.This is because when using a laptop，students will often type out lectures word for word instead of processing information and rewording it in their own language.”可知，学生用笔记本电脑记笔记会导致对所学材料的吸收不够深入，即他们对材料的理解较差。故选D。
4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A．To make a suggestion.
B．To express thanks.
C．To honour loved ones.
D．To share a personal experience.
答案　A
解析　写作意图题。最后一段内容提到：下次你想坐下来给心爱的人写电子邮件时，为什么不试试写一封手写信呢？这对你的大脑更有益。此外，手写信件的个性化特质可以让你的信息更加特别和难忘。由此可推知，作者在最后一段建议读者尝试手写信件。故选A。
Ⅳ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Making decisions is a difficult skill.There are always things to consider and the results might not be obvious for months，when it’s hard to connect our decision to the impact it has.Some people might overly struggle with their choices，resulting in a sense of indecisiveness. 1 Here are some guidelines to help simplify the decision-making process.
Narrow the options down.One problem with decisions is the endless choices we face，such as when you imagine yourself looking through a streaming platform.Should you watch this action comedy or that romantic drama？ 2 When you narrow down your choices，you can focus on the remaining ones to identify the ideal solution.
3 Being pressured into making a decision quickly is often a red flag.Don’t rush too much to do it，and give yourself permission to think about things; on the other hand，some people will be endlessly anxious about a decision if there isn’t a time limit in some way.If you’re the type to think and overthink something，establish a deadline(最后期限) for yourself and commit to sticking to it.
Talk things through.A good rule for decisions is to take part in discussions with others. 4 You don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those who will cheer blindly for every option.You are aware of whom you can rely on for various decisions throughout your life.
Remember nothing is everlasting.Something that keeps us in the fear of indecision is the feeling that whatever decision we make，it will apply forever.Bear in mind that you can always rethink the situation and seek another path，as very few aspects of life genuinely never change. 5
A．Request additional time.
B．Take time but set a time limit.
C．You can find better ways to change course.
D．Consider approaches to cutting them down.
E．However，it’s important to find a trustworthy advisor.
F．Just allow yourself to reconsider if your choice fails.
G．Others may find it upsetting to make impactful choices.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了做决定这一困难技能的挑战，并提供了简化决策过程的指导原则。
1．答案　G
解析　根据上文“Some people might overly struggle ...indecisiveness.”可知，上文提到了有些人做决定时优柔寡断，空处应当是在说明另一些人的情况，G选项中“Others”对应上文“Some people”。故G选项“其他人可能会发现做出有影响力的选择令人不安”符合语境。故选G。
2．答案　D
解析　根据上文“Narrow the options down...”以及下文“When you narrow down your choices，you can focus on the remaining ones to identify the ideal solution.”可知，本段主要是关于缩小选择范围的建议，D选项中“cutting them down”对应下文中“narrow down your choices”。故D选项“考虑减少选择的方法”承上启下。故选D。
3．答案　B
解析　根据下文内容可知，本段主要是关于“做决定时要给自己时间，但也要设定时间限制”的建议，B选项中“set a time limit”对应下文中“establish a deadline(最后期限)”。故B选项“花时间，但要设定时间限制”符合语境。故选B。
4．答案　E
解析　根据上文可知，做决定的一个好原则是与他人进行讨论。结合下文“You don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those...You are aware of whom you can rely on for various decisions...”可知，上文提到做决定时可以与他人进行讨论，下文则提到要找可以依靠的人。E选项中“a trustworthy advisor”对应下文中“whom you can rely on”。故E选项“然而，找到一个值得信赖的顾问是很重要的”承上启下。故选E。
5．答案　F
解析　根据上文“Remember nothing is everlasting...as very few aspects of life genuinely never change.”可知，上文提到要记住没有什么是永恒的，很少是真正永远不会改变的，由此可知，如果选择错了，也可以重新考虑，F选项中“reconsider”对应上文中“rethink”。故F选项“如果你的选择失败了，就允许自己重新考虑”符合语境。故选F。
Ⅴ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
Not being able to see someone you love for a long time is hard，but it does make a reunion(重逢) more special.

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了手写相较于打字在记忆、大脑发育和写作质量方面的显著优势，并建议读者尝试手写以获得更多益处。
Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the advent of the typewriter in the mid-1880s，even more so due to computers.In fact，nowadays，some schools in the United States no longer require teaching handwriting as a part of the main courses.However，despite the sense that writing on paper is out of fashion，it actually has a number of very important strengths.
Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory，but it is also important for mental development.In learning to write by hand，the human brain must combine feeling，movement control，and thinking.For whatever reason，it does not do so when learning to type.
Writing by hand is good for mental health，and there are some studies that can prove it.Writing on paper can help students recall material better than typing on a keyboard.Similarly，a study from 2014 shows that compared to writing by hand，taking notes on a laptop results in a less deep absorption of the learned material.This is because when using a laptop，students will often type out lectures word for word instead of processing information and rewording it in their own language.
These advantages actually translate to how you recall the information.In this case，writing by hand instead of typing also helps students do better on exams.Children write longer and more complex essays when they are writing by hand，compared with using a keyboard.Children usually do better writing with a pen when they write essays.They write more and faster.
The next time you want to sit down to write an email to a loved one，why not try writing a handwritten letter instead？It can be more beneficial to your brain.Plus，the personal touch of a handwritten letter can make your message even more special and memorable.
1.What does the underlined word “advent” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Rent. B.Request.
C.Alarm. D.Appearance.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“In fact，nowadays...as a part of the main courses.”可知，有人可能会说，自从19世纪80年代中期打字机出现以来，手写已经成为一种濒临消亡的艺术，而在电脑出现后更是如此。由此可知，此处想表达的是“自从打字机出现后，手写就不如以前流行了”，advent意为“出现”，与appearance的意思相近。故选D。
解析
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about handwriting
A.Its advantages. B.Its types.
C.Its development. D.Its requirements.
√
段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知，手写不仅对语言处理和记忆很重要，而且对大脑发育也很重要。在学习手写的过程中，人类大脑必须将感觉、运动控制和思维结合起来。然而，出于某种原因，在学习打字时，大脑却无法做到这一点。故第三段主要讲述手写的优点。故选A。
解析
3.What happens when students use a laptop instead of a pen to take notes
A.They recall more words.
B.They do better in writing essays.
C.They are less confident about their exams.
D.They have a lower understanding of the material.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Similarly...results in a less deep absorption of the learned material.This is because when using a laptop，students will often type out lectures word for word instead of processing information and rewording it in their own language.”可知，学生用笔记本电脑记笔记会导致对所学材料的吸收不够深入，即他们对材料的理解较差。故选D。
解析
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A.To make a suggestion.
B.To express thanks.
C.To honour loved ones.
D.To share a personal experience.
√
写作意图题。最后一段内容提到：下次你想坐下来给心爱的人写电子邮件时，为什么不试试写一封手写信呢？这对你的大脑更有益。此外，手写信件的个性化特质可以让你的信息更加特别和难忘。由此可推知，作者在最后一段建议读者尝试手写信件。故选A。
解析

解析
