12.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 smartphone,writing by hand has become something of 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 Beminger,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 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 spelling plays in a student's 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 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 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 then 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."

46.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A
A.The use of new technologies in teaching.

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.
49.What does"mind's eye"in paragraph 5 mean?D

D.Imagination.
50.What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?C
A.Computers can help people with their choice of words.

解答 答案:AABDC
46.A 细节理解题.根据With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill 可知,随着像电脑和智能手机的使用,书写已经成为了人们怀旧的东西,故A选项正确.
47.A 细节理解题.根据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.可知,Berninger 和她的同事做了个研究,想看看学生用电脑和用手工完成各种写的任务的情况.故A选项正确.
48.B 细节理解题.根据"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 know well they can write.可知,在更近的一次研究中,Berninge想看看拼写在学生写作技巧中所发挥的什么作用,结果发现字写得好的孩子文章也写得好.故B选项正确.
49.D 词义猜测题.根据第五段可知:拼写帮助学生把想法转化为他们思想中的文字,再把思想中的文字转换到纸上,得知答案是imagination,不仅帮助孩子们把想法转化为文字,而且能发现拼写错误并改正它们.故D选项正确.

2.Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents'home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台),I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon,I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery(电池) was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?"I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
"Thank you"-two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.

7.I began working in journalism when 1was eight.It was my mother's idea.She wanted me to"make something"of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
    With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.
"How many did you sell,my boy?"my mother asked.
"None."
"Where did you go?"
"The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues."
"What did you do?"
"Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.''
"You just stood there?"
"Didn't sell a single one."
"My God,Russell!"
    Uncle Allen put in,Well,I′ve decided to take the Post.''I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel (五分镍币).It was the first nickel I earned.
    Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence,and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
    One day,I told my mother I'd changed my mind.I didn't want to make a success,in the magazine business.
"If you think you can change your mind like this,"she replied,"You'll become a good-for-nothing."She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
    My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.

9.During these days,the United States is full of cars.There are still some families without cars,but some families have two or more ones.(36)C They are als a necessary part of life.
Cars are used for business.They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs.When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city,they have to drive in order to carry their products.(37)E
Sometimes small children must be driven to school.In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school.(38)G One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors'as well.Anoter mother drivers on Tuesdays,another on Wednesdays,and so on.(39)B Men also form car pools,with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.
(40)A So more car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas.Too many cars will lead to some problems such as accidents or environmental pollution.Something will have to be done about the use of cars.And the government should encourage the citizens to decrease the use of their cars as much as they can.

C.Cars are used for more than pleasure.
D.You can choose your car according to the use of it.
E.Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.
F.Still,it is not safe for young children to take the school bus.
G.When children are too young to walk too far,their mothers take turns driving them to school.
