24、oming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while todays 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
25、 school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its 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 student
26、s to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, 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 spe
27、lling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know 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 ide
28、as.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,
29、 says Berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a
30、fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”28. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A. The absence of blackboard in classroom B. The use of new technologies in teaching.C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D.
31、The popular use of smartphones.29. Berningers study published in 2009 _.A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D. discussed the importance of writin
32、g speed.30. What does “minds eye” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Window. B. Soul C. Picture. D. Imagination.31. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A. Computers can help people with their choice of words. B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in
33、 todays classrooms.D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade. D Last nights meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy te
34、lescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead. “My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make thi
35、s an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments. ” Astronomers-scientists who study stars and planets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in
36、the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it. There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting seve

According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers. ” Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the ben
38、efits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase persons chances of getting cancer. Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For
39、years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.

Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you
44、 do? And who wouldnt? But its still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time. Here is why .36. _ The task will be still the same. It wont be any more fun and you still wont want to do it. As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you hav
45、ent started the work. And the stress increases. Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have to do it under great pressure. 37. _ Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished. But you know what? Youre probably miscalculating. Get startedmaybe on a small pieceand

Things are guaranteed100 percent to get better. 38. _ If you leave your work before the night before its due, you give up the poss
47、ibility of getting input from your professor. Professors regularly give adviceor at least a few useful tips during office hours. Unfortunately, though, they dont usually hold office hours at midnight, so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how
48、 to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.39. _ Ever wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before its due? Its because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research, for two weeks. No, not every waking moment, but at least some of
49、 the time. After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking. When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked. And your professor will know it. 40. _ If you put things off a
50、t the last minute, you might find that you havent budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks. Its the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long itll take to do all the work especially when new issues ariselike illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and a
51、ll the other thingsas youre thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test. If you keep delaying, you dont allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse (不利的) effect on your ability to complete your assignment. A. Time can run out. B. Tomorrow

The problem wont be solved. 第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1。5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项Last spring, I was fo
