More and more studentsare usinglaptops for note-taking because of s
2、peed and legibility(清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word wha
3、t the professors said. In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they unde
4、rstood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers report said, “While more notes a
5、re beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.” In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performe
6、d significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21.More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .A.write more note

9、wealth to the next generation? UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact the opposite is true: trees survive through th
10、eir cooperation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”. Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy.
11、This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all. Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to t
12、he next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we ate reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest. “We didnt
13、 take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.25.The u
14、nderlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees _.A.compete for survivalB.protect their own wealthC.depend on each otherD.provide support for dying trees26.“Mother trees” are extremely important because they _.A.look the largest in size in the forestB.pass on nutri
15、tion to young treesC.seem more likely to be cut down by humansD.know more about the complex tree societies27.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _.A.how tree societies workB.how trees grow oldC.how forestry industry developsD.how young trees survive28.What would be the best titl
16、e for the passage?A.Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB.Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC.Trees Are More Awesome(了不起) Than You ThinkD.Trees Benefit Our Society CWong Fukwing,a Hong Kong volunteer at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Yushu,was killed in the earthquake when he was trying to save others on Apr
17、il 14,2010.Wong managed to run safely out of the building with some children when the first quake happened at 7:50 am on April 14,but he went back inside to rescue three other children and three teachers inside,although he knew the danger of aftershocks (余震).At 10 am,all the children and one of the
18、teachers were saved. However,Wong was buried under the fallen building and died. The other two teachers were still waiting to be rescued.46-year-old Wong was a truck driver,who often said he could only give his efforts to charity(慈善) instead of money,as he did not earn a lot. His tragic(悲剧的) end tou
19、ched the hearts of many people both in Hong Kong and on the mainland.Wong began volunteering in 2002.In 2003,Wong was told by the doctor he got serious illness,which gave him a great blow. However,the illness did not deter the warmhearted man. When the earthquake struck Wenchuan in Sichuan Province
20、in 2008,Wong rushed to the disaster area of Shifang to offer his help though his family did not want him to go.In fact,Qinghai is a place Wong had often visited since 2006.As a volunteer,he gave out medicine and clothing to the orphanage there. No one could expect that Wong would die helping others.
21、Hong Kong Chief Secretary Henry Tang Yingyen said he had “the highest respect” for the hero who gave his life for others. “What he did has shown the Hong Kong spirit.” The citizens of Hong Kong called him “the pride of Hong Kongs people” and people on the mainland have also praised him as “a true he

D For older adults, having more or closer family members in ones
24、 social network decreases his or her likelihood of death, but having a larger or closer group of friends does not, finds a new study that will be presented at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA). “We found that older individuals who had more family in their networ
25、k, as well as older people who were closer with their family were less likely to die,” said James Iveniuk, the lead author of the study and a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Torontos Dalla Lana School of Public Health. “No such associations were observed for number of or closeness to f
26、riends.”Titled, “Social Relationships and Mortality(死亡) in Older Adulthood,” the study used nationally representative data from the 2005/2006 and 2010/2011 survey waves of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP), to investigate which aspects of social networks are most important
27、for postponing mortality.In the survey, these older adults were asked to list up to five of their closest friends, describe in detail the nature of each relationship, and indicate how close they felt to each person. Not including spouses(配偶), the average number of close friends was 2.91, and most ol
28、der adults sensed high levels of support from their social contacts. Additionally, most respondents were married, in good physical health, and reported not being very lonely.Iveniuk and co-author L. Philip Schumm, a senior biostatician at the University of Chicago, found that older adults who report
29、ed feeling “extremely close” on average to the family members they listed as among their closest friends had about a six percent risk of mortality within the next five years, compared to approximately a 14 percent risk of mortality among those who reported feeling “not very close” to the family memb
30、ers they listed.Furthermore, the study found that respondents who listed more family members in their network regardless of closeness had lower risks of death compared to those who listed fewer family members. “Regardless of the emotional content of a connection, simply having a social relationship
31、with another person may have benefits for longevity(长寿),”Iveniuk said.Iveniuk said he was surprised that feeling closer to ones family members and having more relatives as close friends decreased the risk of death for older adults, but that the same was not true of relationships with friends.KS5UKS5

56、华,为配合学校的这次活动,你打算倡议同学们多读书,读好书。根据以下提示给同学们写封倡议信。1.读书周活动的目的;2.读书的好处;3.你的建议注意:1.词数120左右;2.可适当增加内容,以使行文连贯;3.开头和结尾已给出Dear friends, Im Li Hua, president of the Students Union._Yours,Li Hua 参考答案： 一、阅读理解 A 答案： 21.A; 22.B; 23.B; 24.C 解析： 21.【语篇导读】本文通过实验介绍了用电脑做笔记与用手做笔记的利弊,表明用手做笔记无论即时的学习和理解还是长时记忆都胜过用电脑做笔记。细节理解题。
57、根据文章第二段第一句可知学生越来越多地使用电脑记笔记是因为速度和清晰度。也就是说使用笔记本电脑记笔记速度更快,可以记录更多的内容。这一点从第四段首句也可以得到印证。22.推理判断题。根据第三段可知做实验研究人们是为了发现使用笔记本电脑记笔记是否会让人处于一种无意识只是机械地输入的状态之中。而实验结果说明用笔记本记录的学生表现不如手写笔记的人。说明使用笔记本记录的确会让人有mindless的感觉。23.作者意图题。根据文章最后一段可知手写笔记对于短期、长期记忆都有好处,也就是说本文的作者强调手写笔记的好处。24.判断推理题。本文通过讲述一项实验及其结论告诉我们手写笔记对于短期、长期记忆都有好处,
58、学生的表现比使用电脑记笔记更好。因此,本文不可能是广告、电脑教科书,也不会是金融报告,这属于教学类的科学研究。【长难句分析】While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.虽然笔记越多越好,如果做笔记是不假思索的,正像用电脑做笔记那样,那么笔记的好处也就不存在了。该句为复合句。While引导让步状语从句,if引导的是条件状语从句,其中又含有一个as引导的非限制性定语从句。B.KS5U
59、KS5U答案： 25.C; 26.B; 27.A;28.C 解析： 25.【语篇导读】本文主要讲述了树也和动物一样可以相互交流、传递财富。推理判断题。根据文章第三段的句子:trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it” 可知上文提到达尔文的适者生存的理论,而相反的是树是彼此依赖的,因此选C。26.推理判断题。根据文章第五段的句子:She explains how dying trees pass on the
60、wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.可知mother trees之所以重要是因为它们将营养传给小树,因此选B。27.词义猜测题。it出现在文章最后一段:实际上it指代的是上一段提到的内容,人们砍倒快死的mother trees时不知道树的社会的依存关系,可知it指的是“树的社会”是怎么运作的,因此选A。28.主旨大意题。整篇文章主要讲述了树也和动物一样可以相互交流、传递财富。【长难句分析】She explains ho
61、w dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.她解释了将死的树如何把财富传递给下一代,即把重要的矿物质传递给小树以便它们继续生长。该句为复合句。how引导宾语从句,transporting important minerals.作伴随状语,so前后为因果关系。C.答案：29.B; 30.A; 31.CD.答案： 31.B; 33.D; 34.C 二、七选五 答案： C; A;
62、G; E; D 一、完形填空答案： 1.B; 2.D; 3.C; 4.A; 5.D; 6.A; 7.C; 8.A; 9.C; 10.C; 11.D; 12.B; 13.D; 14.B; 15.D; 16.B; 17.A; 18.B; 19.A; 20.C 三、语法填空答案： with; that/which; swimming; a; was; came; hopeful; found; walking; days 四、短文改错 答案： With the increasingly serious environmental pollution, we need to do something

65、表达 答案： Dear friends, Im Li Hua, president of the Students Union. Im writing to appeal to you to do some reading. Reading Week is launched to promote more reading from us students. As is known to all, reading is of much benefit to us in many ways. Above all, reading is a perfect way to spend our spar
66、e time. Meanwhile, reading broadens our horizons and enriches our life as well. Apart from these, reading allows us to learn from great minds and live a better life. Here are some tips on how to do some reading. First, it is advised that we form a good habit of reading. Second, we can change books with our friends , which can adds more pleasure to both . Besides, we can exchange our opinions about books we read with others , making it easier to start a conversation while chatting. Make reading part of our life, and it will definitely return your favor. Lets do it!Yours,Li Hua KS5UKS5U
