12.Four benefits of writing by hand
Today is National Handwriting Day!Although we don't write like we used to,here are four ways handwriting is still helpful.
It's better for learning.
(36)GThat's because putting ink to paper stimulates (刺激) the brain.One study from 2010found that the brain areas related to learning"lit up"much more when kids were asked to rewrite their notes like"spaceship"by hand versus just studying the word closely.
(37)A
Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer.Writer Susan Sontag once said that she penned her first drafts (草稿) before typing them up for editing later.She said,"(38)D"A 2009 study seems to support Sontag's preference for writing by hand:Elementary school students who wrote essays with a pen not only wrote more than their keyboard-tapping friends,but they also wrote faster and in more complete sentences.
It will prevent you from being distracted.
The computer in front of you is really a distraction.Of course,the Internet isn't all bad.In 2012,scientists even suggested that taking five-minute breaks to browse Tumblr or BuzzFeed could make you a more productive worker.However,when it's time to work on that essay,(39)C.
It keeps your brain sharp as you get older.
(40)B According to The Wall Street Journal,some physicians say that the act of writing is good exercise for those who want to keep their minds sharp as they age.

A.It makes you a better writer.
B.Writing is good for your brain.
C.have only a pen and paper in front of you.
D.I like the slowness of writing by hand.
E.try writing by hand at least 20minutes each day.
F.Many writers have a preference for writing by hand.
G.One of the most effective ways to study is to rewrite your notes by hand.

分析 本文主要讲述写作的4个好处:有利于学习,成为一个好的作家,有利于集中注意力,保持大脑灵活.

解答 36--40:GADCB
36 G 由本段落的小标题It's better for learning.可知本段讲的是手写对学习的好处.而选项项的rewrite…by hand正符合此意.故选G.
37 A 本空的下文Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer.讲的是许多著名的作家比较喜欢手写而不用打字机或电脑打字,而选项项讲的是"手写能让你成为一个更好的作家",且主语与其他小标题的主语是一致.
38 D 根据后文A 2009 study seems to support Sontag's preference for writing by hand:可知2009年的一个研究支持ontag手写文章的偏爱,所以D项合适.
39 C 本空格前面一句The computer in front of you is really a distraction.说电脑不好的一面:让人分心,所以接下来是"当然网络也不是都不好".
40 B 根据本空格所在的段落小标题提到的"keep your brain"可知写作对大脑是有好处的,故选B项.

点评 做七选五题目时要注意以下规则:1.放进去通顺,这一点是基础.凡不通顺的必错无疑;2、选项中有单词、词组、句子成分或与所选答案所在段内容重合;
3、选项与其上句或下句之间有必然的逻辑关系;4、选项全部内容都属于正确答案所在段.有时备选答案中可能含有甲乙两项内容,这时,只有当甲和乙都归属于本段时,答案才是正确的.

2.TOKYO,Oct.12 (Xinhua)--The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded the forecast for global economic growth for 2012to 3.3percent before the IMF-World Bank 2012annual meetings.The IMF called on all players to cooperate closely to improve the global economy as the global economy recovered more slowly than the IMF's forecast in April due to many uncertainties.
"In advanced countries,growth is now too low to make a substantial dent in unemployment,and in major emerging countries,growth which had been strong earlier has also decreased."said the IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard at the press conference.
Good effects have been observed with right action taken by some central banks in the euro area,and IMF received the good signals and considered them a good opportunity to seize as many uncertainties,in every corner of the world,preventing the decision makers from investing,creating jobs and developing values.The IMF suggested if the measures continued working effectively,there is reason to believe the most difficult time for Europe will pass soon,the recovery will begin in 2013.
Looking into the future,IMF suggested there are four key policies for all members to do to make the economy keep going forward.
Firstly,continue to complete the financial sector reform contributing to the safety of the financial sector,as the safety has not improved much yet than five years ago.And then,countries should deal with the legacy(遗留) of high debt,especially in the advanced economies,which have extremely high level.Policy makers also need to expand the employment on creating the condition for economic growth,because the jobless rate among young people is unacceptable.Finally,all members of IMF should face the global unbalance,which is the topic that has been talked about for a long time.
Christine Lagarde,IMF Managing Director,said the annual meetings of IMF could provide a broad platform for players,both new ones from the emerging market and traditional ones from the advanced market,and cooperation is the thing most needed,because the global economy is a cooperative game.
Title IMF appeals for close (81)cooperationto improve global economy.
ReasonGlobal economic recovery is (82)slower/weakerthan expected because of many uncertainties.
(83)Effectsof action taken1.The IMF received good signals,which were (84)considereda good opportunity to seize as many uncertainties around the world.
2.The IMF has seen the (85)effectivemeasurers being taken in Europe,which show great promise of recovery.
(86)Policiesto adopt1.All countries should continue to complete the financial reform
(87)makingthe financial sector safer.
2.Countries should (88)handlethe legacy of high debt,especially in the extremely high-leveled advanced economies.
3.Policy makers need to create the condition for economic growth,so that more young people can become (89)employed.
4.All members should face the topic of global unbalance.
(90)ConclusionThe annual meetings of IMF could provide a platform for all players where cooperation is most needed in improving the global economy.

20.Many years ago my student asked me the question,"Mrs.Kindred,why do you teach?"Without taking time to reflect,I answered,"Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life."Even though I was sincere,that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide.
"Let me get this straight,"he said,"You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?"He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused.I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty,or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach,there are days when I wonder.On those days,I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It's in my blood.My mother was my most influential teacher,and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990.She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference.If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore.You can't have ripples without a"stone."Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference,and that's what I try to do.
I genuinely love teenagers.
I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years.Life is full of ups and downs,and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life,I want to do so.If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them,I want to do too.
Teaching isn't for everyone,but I know I made the right career choice.

21.Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer's being a teacher?A
A.Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
B.Because the writer was insincere.
C.Because the student was naughty.
D.Because the answer was difficult to understand.
22.What do you think of the writer?B
A.Stupid.          B.Honest.
C.Conservative.    D.Polite.
23.According to the text,which of the following is NOT true?D
A.The writer's mother has the greatest influence on her.
B.The writer's answer made the student confused.
C.In the writer's opinion,some people in the world are unfit to teach.
D.The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.
24.What's the main idea of the text?D
A.A student's silly question.
B.A good teacher who likes students.
C.A confused student.
D.The reason why I teach.

12.When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or a career,you will find that there are several things that you should pay attention to.Jobs and careers are fewer than you expect,especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about.How are you going to find the job that you want and what should you avoid on your way?When you want to make use of your job search,take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs.
One of the most important rules is never to compromise on the things you ask for or desire or it will badly affect your life and peace of mind.Keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job.They might be something about money or you might find they have something to do with time off.Whatever they are,make sure that you do not accept a job without them.Your requirements might not be easy to meet,but you have the right to try and achieve them.
What's more,don't shy away from odd(临时的)jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in.Sometimes,finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts.And if something unexpected happens,remember that taking the chance is of great importance and is something you might want to seriously consider.As long as you keep your goals in mind,you are going to be doing much better than other people during the job search.
If you are looking for the right job,another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to market yourself.When you do nothing to push yourself forward,you will be the one suffering for it.If required,give enough encouragement to yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have.Make sure that you can show your skills and abilities.If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging,set goals for yourself and work hard at them.The more efforts you put in marketing yourself,the more your chances of obtaining the job you like there will be.
Remember that when you are working on a job search,you should not short-change yourself.This is because you will only harm yourself by setting low goals.
