【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小时候作者去商店买东西时，商店主人Miss Bee总是重新摆放货架上的东西，让作者出丑，作者认为她很刻薄，但是多年后作者意识到Miss Bee并不像她所想的那样，反而她在日常生活中教会了作者一些东西。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It tk me three wall-t-wall searches befre I fund the first item n my list―a prk can be placed between bxes f cereal and bread. Next up was tilet paper, fund under the daily newspaper, and Band-Ads, fund next t the face cream. The stre was a puzzle, but it held sme surprises t. I fund a new Superman cmic behind the peanut butter. (我搜索了三个墙，我发现第一个物品在我的清单上——猪肉可以放在麦片和面包盒子之间。接下来是卫生纸，在日报下面找到的，还有邦迪广告，在面霜旁边找到的。商店是一个谜，但它也有一些惊喜。我在花生酱后面发现了一本新的超人漫画。)”可推知，这家商店杂乱无章，作者对这家商店不熟悉，这使得作者花了很长时间在杂货店里购物，故选D。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Ging t the stre was mre like ging int battle. I left my Grandma’s huse armed with my list—memrized t the letter—and marched int Miss Bee’s like General Pattn (巴顿将军) marching int Nrth Africa. (去商店更像是去打仗。我离开奶奶家的时候，手里拿着我的名单——一字不差地背下来——然后像巴顿将军（General Pattn）进军北非一样，大步走进比小姐家。)”可知，作者将自己去商店买东西类比成General Pattn进军北非打仗一样，由此可推知，去商店购物对于作者来说并不是件简单的事，即去商店购物对作者来说是个挑战。故选B。
【21题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句子前文“T my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I dn’t care! Each f us is put n this earth fr a reasn. I believe my jb is t teach every child I meet ten life lessns t help them. (令我惊讶的是，她笑着说。“好吧，我不在乎！我们每个人来到这个世界上都是有原因的。我相信我的工作就是教会我遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程以此来帮助他们。)”和划线句子“Think what yu will, but when yu get lder yu’ll be glad ur paths crssed!” (随你怎么想，等你长大了，你会很高兴我们相遇了！”)”可知，Miss Bee认为，每个人来到世界都是有原因的，她的工作就是教会她遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程，以此来帮助他们。由此可推知，Miss Bee说“随你怎么想，等你长大了，你会很高兴我们相遇了！”这句话是在表明作者将从她身上学到一些东西，即受益，故选A。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“T my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I dn’t care! Each f us is put n this earth fr a reasn. I believe my jb is t teach every child I meet ten life lessns t help them. Think what yu will, but when yu get lder yu’ll be glad ur paths crssed!” (令我惊讶的是，她笑着说。“好吧，我不在乎！我们每个人来到这个世界上都是有原因的。我相信我的工作就是教会我遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程以此来帮助他们。随你怎么想，等你长大了，你会很高兴我们相遇了！”)”和最后一段中“Suddenly, I was back at that general stre where I had learned the hard way ttally up (结算) my bill alng with the cashier. (突然，我又回想起了那家杂货店，在那里我学到了一条艰难的道路，那就是和收银员一起把账单全部结清。)”可知，小时候作者去商店买东西时，商店主人Miss Bee总是重新摆放货架上的东西，让作者出丑，作者认为她很刻薄，但是多年后作者意识到Miss Bee并不像她所想的那样，反而她在日常生活中教会了作者一些东西，由此可知，作者接下来可能会写Miss Bee教会她的一些东西，A“别这么快就评判别人”，B项“ 最好的老师不仅仅是在学校”和D项“在日常生活中可以学习一些东西”符合，C项“无论发生什么，都要坚持你的梦想”不符合，文章没有提到梦想，故选C。

In ur daily lives, we spend a lt mre time typing n a keybard than writing with pencil and pen, s des handwriting still ffer anything useful?
Researchers tasked 42 adult vlunteers with learning the Arabic letters frm beginning: Sme thrugh writing it ut n paper, sme thrugh typing it ut n a keybard, and sme thrugh watching and respnding t vide instructins. Thse in the handwriting grup nt nly learned the unfamiliar letters mre quickly, but they were als better able t apply their new knwledge in ther areas—by using the letters t make new wrds and t recgnize wrds they hadn’t seen befre, fr example.
The real questin is: Are there ther benefits t handwriting that have t d with reading and spelling and understanding?
While writing, typing, and visual learning were effective at teaching participants t recgnize Arabic letters—learners made very few mistakes after six exercise sessins—n average, the writing grup needed fewer sessins t get t a gd standard.
Researchers then tested the grups t see hw the learning culd be generalized. In every fllw-up test, using skills they hadn’t been trained n, the writing grup perfrmed the best: naming letters, writing letters, spelling wrds, and reading wrds.
While 42 peple isn’t a huge sample size fr a study f this type, the trends reprted by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an imprtant rle t play in learning, even as digital frmats (格式) have cme t cntrl ur cmmunicatins. And althugh adults were used in this particular experiment, the researchers say their findings shuld have relevance t children t. Several previus studies have als highlighted the advantages f cpying as an aid t learning.
Tday pupils in schls spend far less time than they used t n handwriting skills and practice, fr bvius reasns—but based n what this study shws, it wuldn’t be wise t put away the pens and pencils permanently. Because with writing, yu’re getting a strnger representatin in yur mind that lets yu supprt ther types f tasks that dn’t in any way invlve handwriting.
23. Hw did the researchers get the cnclusin?
A. By making cmparisn.B. By studying dcument.
C. By asking vlunteers.D. By watching vides.
24. In which part handwriting perfrms the best?
A. Cmmunicating with thers.B. Reviewing the previus skills.
C. Learning a new language.D. Setting an example t kids.
25. Why d pupils spend less time than they used t n handwriting skills?
A. They dn’t like pencils and paper.
B. The digital tls are mre pwerful tday.
C. Handwriting has nthing t d with study.
D. Nbdy frces them t practice handwriting skills.
26. What might be the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Put dwn yur keybard.B. Pen will replace cmputers.
C. Handwriting is ut f time nw.D. Handwriting is better in learning.
【答案】23. A 24. C 25. B 26. D
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过展示研究成果告诉我们，手写在学习中依然重要。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“Researchers tasked 42 adult vlunteers with learning the Arabic letters frm beginning: Sme thrugh writing it ut n paper, sme thrugh typing it ut n a keybard, and sme thrugh watching and respnding t vide instructins. Thse in the handwriting grup nt nly learned the unfamiliar letters mre quickly, but they were als better able t apply their new knwledge in ther areas—by using the letters t make new wrds and t recgnize wrds they hadn’t seen befre, fr example.”（研究人员让42名成年志愿者从一开始就学习阿拉伯语字母：一些人通过在纸上书写，一些人通过在键盘上打字，还有一些人通过观看和响应视频指令。手写组的人不仅更快地学会了不熟悉的字母，而且他们还能够更好地将新知识应用到其他领域，例如，利用这些字母造出新词，识别出他们以前从未见过的单词。）可知，研究人员通过将42名成年志愿者分成三组来学习阿拉伯语字母，一些人通过在纸上书写，一些人通过在键盘上打字，还有一些人通过观看和响应视频指令，然后对比三组的学习成果，发现手写组的人能更快地学会不熟悉的字母，由此可推断出，研究人员是通过比较得出结论的。故选A项。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Thse in the handwriting grup nt nly learned the unfamiliar letters mre quickly, but they were als better able t apply their new knwledge in ther areas—by using the letters t make new wrds and t recgnize wrds they hadn’t seen befre, fr example.”（手写组的人不仅更快地学会了不熟悉的字母，而且他们还能够更好地将新知识应用到其他领域，例如，利用这些字母造出新词，识别出他们以前从未见过的单词。）和第五段关键句“In every fllw-up test, using skills they hadn’t been trained n, the writing grup perfrmed the best: naming letters, writing letters, spelling wrds, and reading wrds.”（在每一次后续测试中，使用未经训练的技能，手写组表现最好：命名字母、书写字母、拼写单词和阅读单词。）可知，手写组的人能更快地学会不熟悉的字母，并且在命名字母、书写字母、拼写单词和阅读单词方面表现得最好，而学习字母和拼写单词等方面都是学习语言的相关技巧，由此可推断出，手写组在学习一门新语言方面表现得最好。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“While 42 peple isn’t a huge sample size fr a study f this type, the trends reprted by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an imprtant rle t play in learning, even as digital frmats (格式) have cme t cntrl ur cmmunicatins.”（虽然42人并不是这类研究的巨大样本量，但研究报告的趋势表明，笔和纸在学习中仍然发挥着重要作用，即使数字格式已经开始控制我们的交流。）可知，因为数字工具的功能更加强大，已经开始控制我们的交流，所以我们在学习中使用笔和纸的频率降低了。再根据最后一段关键句“Tday pupils in schls spend far less time than they used t n handwriting skills and practice, fr bvius reasns—but based n what this study shws, it wuldn’t be wise t put away the pens and pencils permanently.”（今天，学校里的学生花在书写技能和练习上的时间比过去少得多，原因显而易见，但根据这项研究的结果，永久性地把钢笔和铅笔扔掉是不明智的。）可知，句中“bvius reasns”指代的就是数字工具在学习中的使用，由此可推断出，学生花在书写技能上的时间比过去少了是因为如今，数字工具的功能更加强大了。故选B项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章，结合倒数第二段关键句“While 42 peple isn’t a huge sample size fr a study f this type, the trends reprted by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an imprtant rle t play in learning, even as digital frmats (格式) have cme t cntrl ur cmmunicatins.”（虽然42人并不是这类研究的巨大样本量，但研究报告的趋势表明，笔和纸在学习中仍然发挥着重要作用，即使数字格式已经开始控制我们的交流。）可知，文章主要通过展示研究成果告诉我们，手写在学习中依然重要，甚至比应用数字设备学习效果更好，“Handwriting is better in learning.”意为“手写在学习中更好。”选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选D项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普文章。文章主要介绍了一种自己可以亲手制作的简单易行的太阳能蒸馏器的方法和它的工作原理。这种蒸馏器所需的材料简单，适用于任何缺水的地方。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句话These pieces can be flded int a neat little pack and fastened n yur belt.可知，制作蒸馏器的东西可以叠放在一个小包，系在腰间。说明制作蒸馏器的设备很轻便，prtable表示“轻便的;手提的”，故选D。
【28题详解】
猜测词义题。根据文章Try t make the hle in a damp area t increase the water catcher’s prductivity可知，最好在潮湿的地方挖洞，以提高接水器的工作效率。接水器指的是在潮湿地方挖洞，在洞的底部放一个杯子，杯子上方用覆盖膜遮挡。整个装置构成接水器，而不是某个部分。这一题很容易错选D。就算在干燥的地方挖洞，杯子也可以接水，杯子接水的事实并不会因为周围的环境变化而变化，杯子的工作效率是不变的。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Next, cver the hle with the plastic sheet, securing the edges f the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center dwn with a rck.可知，最后一步是weighting the sheet’s center dwn with a rck“放一块石头在覆盖膜的中间，把它压下去”，故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的Grund water evaprates (蒸发) and cllects n the sheet until small drps f water frm, run dwn the material and fall ff int the cup可知，地下水蒸发，在覆盖膜上聚集起来直到形成小水滴落在杯子里。覆盖膜是在杯子上面的，水滴落入杯子里。所以水滴是凝聚在覆盖膜的下面。故选D。

Science has a lt f uses. It can uncver laws f nature, cure diseases, make bmbs, and help bridges t stand up. Indeed science is s gd at what it des that there’s always a temptatin (诱惑) t drag it int prblems where it may nt be helpful. David Brks, authr f The Scial Animal: The Hidden Surces f Lve, Character, and Achievement, appears t be the latest in a lng line f writers wh have failed t resist the temptatin.
Brks gained fame fr several bks. His latest bk The Scial Animal, hwever, is mre ambitius and serius than his earlier bks. It is an attempt t deal with a set f weighty tpics. The bk fcuses n big questins: What has science revealed abut human nature? What are the surces f character? And why are sme peple happy and successful while thers aren’t?
T answer these questins, Brks surveys a wide range f disciplines (学科). Cnsidering this, yu might expect the bk t be a dry recitatin f facts. But Brks has structured his bk in an unrthdx (非常规的), and perhaps unfrtunate, way. Instead f intrducing scientific theries, he tells a stry, within which he tries t make his pints, perhaps in rder t keep the reader’s attentin.S as Harld and Erica, the her and herine in his stry, live thrugh childhd, we hear abut the science f child develpment and as they begin t date we hear abut the thery f sexual attractin. Brks carries this thrugh t the death f ne f his characters.
On the whle,Brks’ stry is acceptable if uninspired. As ne wuld expect, his writing is mstly clear and, t be fair, sme chapters stand ut abve the rest. I enjyed, fr instance, the chapter in which Harld discvers hw t think n his wn. While Harld and Erica are certainly nt strng r memrable characters, the mre serius prblems with The Scial Animal lie elsewhere. These prblems partly invlve Brks’ attempt t translate his tale int science.
31. The authr mentins the functins f science at the beginning f the passage t__________.
A. illustrate where science can be applied
B. demnstrate the value f Brks’ new bk
C. remind the reader f the imprtance f science
D. explain why many writers use science in their wrks
32. Accrding t the authr, which f the fllwing culd be a strength f the bk?
A. Its strng basis.
B. Its cnvincing pints.
C. Its clear writing.
D. Its memrable characters.
33. What is the authr’s general attitude twards the bk?
A. Cntradictry.
B. Supprtive.
C. Cautius.
D. Critical.
34. What is the authr likely t write abut after the last paragraph?
A. Prblems with the bk.
B. Brks’s life experience.
C. Death f the characters.
D. Brks’s translatin skills.
【答案】31. D 32. C 33. D 34. A
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，是一则书评，作者介绍了David Brks的书The Scial Animal，并告诉我们在这本书中他如何运用科学方面的知识来阐述他的故事，并指出这本书的优点和不足。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Science has a lt f uses. It can uncver laws f nature, cure diseases, make bmbs, and help bridges t stand up. Indeed science is s gd at what it des that there’s always a temptatin (诱惑) t drag it int prblems where it may nt be helpful. David Brks, authr f The Scial Animal: The Hidden Surces f Lve, Character, and Achievement, appears t be the latest in a lng line f writers wh have failed t resist the temptatin.(科学有很多用途。它可以揭示自然规律，治疗疾病，制造炸弹，帮助桥梁建立起来。事实上，科学是如此擅长它所做的事情，以至于总是有一种诱惑把它拖入可能没有帮助的问题中。大卫·布鲁克斯是《社会动物：爱、性格和成就的隐藏来源》一书的作者，他似乎是众多作家中最新一个未能抵制住诱惑的人)”可推知，作者在文章的开头提到了科学的功能来解释为什么许多作家在他们的作品中使用科学。故选D项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As ne wuld expect, his writing is mstly clear and, t be fair, sme chapters stand ut abve the rest.(正如人们所料，他的写作大部分是清晰的，公平地说，有些章节比其他章节突出)”可知，作者认为写作思路清晰是这本书的一大优势。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I enjyed, fr instance, the chapter in which Harld discvers hw t think n his wn. While Harld and Erica are certainly nt strng r memrable characters, the mre serius prblems with The Scial Animal lie elsewhere. These prblems partly invlve Brks’ attempt t translate his tale int science.(比如，我很喜欢Harld发现如何独立思考的那一章。虽然Harld和Erica肯定不是坚强或令人难忘的角色，但The Scial Animal更严重的问题还在别处。这些问题在一定程度上与Brks试图将他的故事转化为科学有关)”可知，连接词while之前是这本书的优势，其后作者指出了其不足。由此推知，作者对这部书持批判的态度。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I enjyed, fr instance, the chapter in which Harld discvers hw t think n his wn. While Harld and Erica are certainly nt strng r memrable characters, the mre serius prblems with The Scial Animal lie elsewhere. These prblems partly invlve Brks’ attempt t translate his tale int science.(比如，我很喜欢Harld发现如何独立思考的那一章。虽然Harld和Erica肯定不是坚强或令人难忘的角色，但The Scial Animal更严重的问题还在别处。这些问题在一定程度上与Brks试图将他的故事转化为科学有关)”可知，连接词while后面部分开始谈论这本书存在的问题。由此推知，作者紧接着应该还是在写这本书的不足。故选A项。

根据空前“Smething that is interactive invlves input r actins n the part f the user. Interactive reading thus requires sme actin r invlvement n the part f the reader.(交互式的东西涉及到用户的输入或操作。互动阅读需要读者采取一些行动或参与。)”可知，空前介绍了互动阅读的概念，故D项“简单来说，互动阅读鼓励读者不只是简单地阅读印刷文本”符合，进一步解释前文互动阅读的概念，并引出后文对互动阅读的详细介绍，故选D项。
【36题详解】
根据空前“Elementary schl teachers expse their students t varius frms f interactive reading.(小学教师让学生接触各种形式的互动阅读。)”可知，空前介绍了小学教师让学生接触互动阅读的形式，故本空应需要继续讨论互动阅读在小学教育中的应用，故G项“老师用了各种工具、方法和互动课程来增加主题的保留和进一步学习。”符合，进一步说明互动阅读在小学教育中的应用，故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Adults have the ability t learn nline frm a variety f interactive media. Newspaper and magazine websites are primary examples. (成年人能够通过各种互动媒体在线学习。报纸和杂志网站就是主要的例子。)”可知，本段讨论了成年人的互动阅读，故B项“学龄儿童并不是唯一能从互动阅读中受益的人群。”符合，不仅对学龄儿童有好处，还能给成年人带来好处，故选B项。
【38题详解】

【39题详解】
根据空后“Readers becme an integral part f their wn absrptin f infrmatin with the use f multimedia tls, nline cntent and varius interactins.(通过使用多媒体工具、在线内容和各种互动，读者成为自己吸收信息不可或缺的一部分。)”可知，空后讲述现代技术让读者更广泛地使用互动媒体，故C项“现代科技使得交互式媒体的使用更加深入和广泛”符合，引出后文现在技术让读者更广泛地使用互动媒体，故选C项。
