Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.
The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?
In all,24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.
Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.
This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add.
4. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?
A. To record their brainwaves
B. To inform them of their tasks
C. To allow them to focus on writing
D. To protect their heads like hair nets
5. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?
A. Why handwriting is more complex than typing
B. Why the brain works when it comes to learning
C. Why handwriting helps remember information
D. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking
6. What is the study's authors' view on typing?
A. It relieves people's hands
B. It remains vital and helpful
C. It is not worth recommending
D. It is more challenging than writing
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Can You Remember New Information?
B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRun
C. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?
D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing
C

The Chinese philosopher (哲学家) Confucius once said, “Time flows away like the water in the river.” This is especially true as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has affected millions of people in China, andthe whole nation has been working day and night to fight the epidemic.
In late January, when an increasing number of people in Wuhan were suspected to be infected, and hospitals didn't have adequate beds for them, two special hospitals—Lei shenshan Hospital and Huo shenshan Hospital were built. These two makeshift (临时的) hospitals were built to treat pneumonia patients infected with the novel coronavirus.HuoshenshanHospitalhas 1,000 beds and covers 33,900 square meters, andLeishenshanHospitalhas 1,500 beds and a total area of about 79,000 square meters. More than 4,000 workers worked 24/7 in two shifts,
and nearly 1,000 large-scale pieces of equipment and transport vehicles helped the project on site. The two hospitals were built in an amazingly short time. It only took 10 days for people to build Huo shenshan, and 14 days for Lei shenshan.
This certainly wowed many people overseas. “It's incredible that two hospitals with 2,500 beds can be built in a short period. It's just hard to believe,” a foreigner named Stuart told People's Daily. In the meantime, Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.
“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing, purchasing materials, production lines and output of technologies,” Shi Jianhua, deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told CCTV News. “In this special time, when the nation needs more masks, it's time for us to quickly respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”
Indeed, a fast response is crucial in any crisis. In this special time,Chinacan't afford to waste a second in the fight against the epidemic. After all, time equals life during this crisis.
12. Confucius' saying “Time flows away like the water in the river.” is mentioned to ______.
A. arouse readers' interest in the passage.
B. introduce the subject of the passage.
C. present the background information.
D. stress the value of time in epidemic.
13. What can we learn about Lei shenshan hospital and Huo shenshan hospital?
A. They are new hospitals for health care inWuhan.
B. They were built in minimal time.
C. Over 4,000 workers worked continuously.
D. Stuart found them too massive to believe.
14. We can infer from Shi Jianhua's words that the automobile industry inChina______.
A. had no medical supplies factories before.
B. guarantees whoever in need enough masks.
C. has capabilities to give timely response.
D. has strong abilities in manufacturing.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?

B. Twospecial hospitals were constructed.
C. Chinese firms acted quickly and effectively.
D. Time is crucial for people in overcoming crisis.

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My school had a tradition. Every year during the eighth grade graduation, a beautiful gold and green jacket with the winner’s name was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grade for eight years.
I fully expected to win that jacket. I had been a straight A plus student since the first grade. But because I was born in a poor farmer’s family, I couldn’t afford a sports school jacket. This scholarship jacket was my only chance.
One day I was almost back at my classroom’s door when I heard angry voices and arguing. I stopped. I recognized the voices: Mr. Schmidt,my history teacher, and Mr. Boone, the headmaster. They seemed to be arguing about me. “I refuse to do it! I don’t care who her father is. Her grades can never compare to Martha’s. I won’t lie or falsify records.” That was Mr. Schmidt and he sounded very angry. Mr. Boone’s voice sounded quiet. “...Martha is Mexican...won’t do it...” Hearing that, my eyes watered.
The next day, the headmaster called me into the office. He looked uncomfortable. I looked him straight in the eyes, but he looked away. “Martha,” he said, “There’s been a change in policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket. As you know, it has always been free. This year the Board decided to charge fifteen dollars. So if you cannot afford it, it will be given to …”
“I’ll speak to my dad about it first, sir,” I interrupted,“I will let you know tomorrow.” With these words, I rushed out and cried on the walk home.
When I got home, my dad was busy. I approached him and said nervously in Spanish, which was the only language he could speak, “Dad, the headmaster said this year the scholarship jacket was going to cost 15 dollars. Can you give me the money?” After a few minutes’ silence, my dad turned to me and asked quietly, “If you pay for the jacket, do you think it is still a scholarship? Tell your headmaster we will not pay.” I was angry with his words, but I knew he was right.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I dragged into the headmaster’s office the next day, but this time he looked me in the eyes.
