Andy rode slowly to school,daydreaming about the fishing trip his father had promised.He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn’t notice anything around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present.He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens.What he saw shocked and terrified him.A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste,Andy sped off in the opposite direction,riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm.With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously,he sped down the rough road.As the bees came closer,his panic increased.Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇).The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting!He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly,his father’s words came to him.“When you are in a tight situation,don’t e your brain and think your way out of it.”
He saw smoke rising from the chimney of the Nelson family home on a nearby hill and remembered that bees dislike smoke.However,he realized he couldn’t reach the house in time.
Then,he spotted a small dam used by Mr.Nelson to irrigate(灌溉)his garden.Without hesitating,Andy jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water,sinking below the surface to escape the bees.When he finally came up for air,the bees were gone.Exhausted,Andy climbed out of the dam,struggled up the hill,and rang the Nelsons’doorbell.Mrs.Nelson brought him inside and called his mother.
Relieved,his mother said,“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover.Thank goodness you didn’t panic!”But Andy was already lost in his dream about catching fish the next day.

C
Money with no strings attached.It’s not something you see every day.But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month,a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read,“Give What You Can,Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on.And while many took dollars,many others pinned their own cash to the board.“People of all ages,races,and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took,”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox,which created the project.“We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.”Most of the bills on the board were singles,but a few people left fives,tens and even twenties.The video clip(片段)shows one man who had found a$20bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most,is that they were full of smiles,”Bridges said.“There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most.”Most people who took dollars took only a few,but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign,Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy.He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all,everyone has bad days and good days,”he said.“Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”
28.What does the expression“money with no strings attached”in paragraph1mean?
A.Money spent without hesitation.
B.Money not legally made.
C.Money offered without conditions.
D.Money not tied together.
29.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?

B.The activity attracted various people.
C.Economic problems were getting worse.
D.Young couples needed financial assistance.
30.Why did Bridges carry out the project?

B.To raise money for his company.
C.To earn himself a good reputation.
D.To promote kindness and sympathy.
【答案】28.C29.B30.D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

短文报道了上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站，一块牌子上用别针别满了美元，上面写着“给予你所能给与的，拿走你所需要的”。

这样的活动吸引了各种各样的人，组织者希望通过这样的活动来提倡仁慈和同情。

【28题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据第一段中But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month,a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read,“Give What You Can,Take What You Need.”可知，但是上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站，一块牌子上用别针别满了美元，上面写着“给予你所能给与的，拿走你所需要的”。

所以通过下文的语境，判断出第1段中的money with no strings attached是“无条件提供的钱”的意思。

故C项正确。

【29题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段照片没给“People of all ages,races,and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took,”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox,which created the project.“We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.”可知，发起该项活动的泰勒·布里奇斯说：“所有年龄、种族和社会经济背景的人都会付出和索取。

”甚至有一位穿着婚纱的新娘来到了牌子前，拿走了一些钱。

所以泰勒·布里奇斯提到新娘是想说明这项活动吸引了各种各样的人。

故B项正确。

【30题详解】
细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign,Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy.可知，尽管这段视频看起来像是一项新的广告活动的一部分，但是布里奇斯说这次活动唯一的目标是表现出慷慨和同情。

所以布里奇斯开展这个活动是为了提倡仁慈和同情。

故D项正确。

D
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 spot(发现) 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.”
31.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A.The lack of practice in handwriting.
B.The increasing use of blackboards in classrooms.
C.The use of new technologies like computers and smartphones.
D.The belief that handwriting skills are unnecessary for success.
32.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A.Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B.Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C.Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D.Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
33.What does the underlined expression“mind’s eye”in Paragraph5mean?
A.Window.
B.Spirit.
C.Imagination.
D.Picture.
34.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.
puters can help people with their choice of words.
D.Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.
【答案】31.C32.B33.C34.A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

主要介绍的是今天的教育工作者在教学中使用越来越多的技术，但许多人认为，基本的书写技能对于学生在学校和生活中取得成功仍然是必要的。

【31题详解】
细节理解题。

根据首段中的“With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones,writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic(怀旧的)skill.(随着电脑和智能手机等新技术的出现，手写已经成为一种怀旧的技能。

)”可知，随着新技术的出现，手写成为怀旧的技能，由此可知，电脑和智能手机等新技术的使用使得手写成为过去的事情。

故选C项。

【32题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段中的“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.(在最近的一项研究中，伯宁格研究了拼写在学生写作技能中所起的作用，发现孩子拼写的好坏与他们的写作能力有关。

)”可知，研究发现，字写得好的孩子文章也写得好，由此可知，写字的能力和写文章的能力有很大的关联。

故选B项。

【33题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据划线短语前的““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.(该研究称：“拼写帮助学生首先在脑海中将想法转化为单词，然后将这些单词转换成纸上、键盘上和屏幕上的文字符号。

”)”可知，学生首先在脑海中把想法转换成单词，这是一种想象力的体现，因此通过“想象力”观察单词，不仅可以帮助孩子们将想法转化为单词，还可以帮助他们在写下单词时发现拼写错误，并随着时间的推移进行纠正，所以划线短语的意思与“想象力”意义相近。

故选C项。

【34题详解】
推理判断题。

根据首段中的“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.(然而，尽管今天的教育工作者在教学中使用越来越多的技术，但许多人认为，基本的书写技能对于学生在学校和生活中取得成功仍然是必要的。

)”可知，尽管现在教学中越来越多的使用技术，但是基本的书写技能对学生取得成功是很必要的，结合下文中介绍的基本的手写技能的好处和书写的重要性可知，书
写技能在现代教学中应该占有一席之地。

故选A项。
