The baggy yellow shirt had long sleeves and four extra-large pockets. It was faded
(褪色) from years of wear, but still in good shape. I found it in 1963 when I was home
from college on Christmas break, looking through bags of clothes Mom planned to give
away. Seeing me packing the yellow shirt, Mom said, “I wore that when I was pregnant
(怀孕) with your brother in 1954!” “It’s just the thing to wear over my clothes during
art class, Mom. Thanks!” Then I put it into my suitcase. The yellow shirt became a part
of my college wardrobe (衣橱). I loved it. After graduation, I wore the shirt the day I
moved into my new apartment and on Saturday mornings when I cleaned.
The next year, I married. When I became pregnant, I wore the yellow shirt. I
missed Mom and the rest of my family, since we were in Colorado and they were in
Illinois. But that shirt helped. I smiled, remembering that Mother had worn it. That
Christmas, I repaired one sleeve, packed it in holiday paper and sent it to Mom. When
Mom wrote to thank me for her real gifts,
she said the yellow shirt was lovely.
The next year, my husband, daughter and I stopped at Mom and Dad’s to pick up
some furniture. Days later, at the kitchen table, I noticed something yellow tied to its
bottom. The shirt! And so the pattern was set. On our next visit home, I secretly placed the shirt under Mom and Dad’s mattress (床垫). I don’t know how long it took for her
to find it, but almost two years passed before I discovered it under the base of our
living-room floor lamp. The yellow shirt was just what I needed now while refinishing
(重新整修) furniture.

Does handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However,
scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence
suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.
Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand,
but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words,
it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.
A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to
that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a
letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on
a page but with a dotted outline（虚线）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or
type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner（扫描）
and showed them the image again.
It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand（徒手画） without a
dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased.
These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast,
children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr.James attributes （归
咎于）the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan
and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those
are not necessary when we have an outline.
It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s
handwriting.
28. What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not
important”? A. Handwriting is not very important to children.
B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.
C. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.
D. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.
29. What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?
A. How we write is as important as what we write.
B. Children create ideas and remember information.
C. A group of students should know what to write.
D. Children read quickly when they write by hand.
30. Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?
A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.
B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.
C. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.
D. Type the image directly on a computer.
31. According to the passage, the author obviously _______ giving up handwriting.
A. is for B. is against C. is responsible for D. doesn’t care about
D
Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And
many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are
being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.
“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a
long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental
organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually
affects their health.” London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people
were better informed about the pollution they’ re breathing, she says, they could
pressure the government to do something about it.
Nearby, on a windy hill in London’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway
that could help—the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when
Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design
Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter.
Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.
“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I
realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it.” Duquesnoy
says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results
accessible to the public through Twitter.
“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much
data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them over
London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They live—actually,
they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with
mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they
fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”
So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds
may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.
32．What can we infer about London’s air quality from Paragraph 2?
A．Londoners are very satisfied with it.
B．Londoners should pay more attention to it.
C．The government is trying to improve it.
D．The government has done a lot to improve it.33．Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _________.
A．entertain Londoners. B．design a product for sale.
C．solve a world problem. D．protect animals like pigeons.
34．Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London?
A．Because they are too expensive. B．Because they fly too quickly.
C．Because they fly too high. D．Because they are forbidden.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A．Clean air in London. B．London’s new pollution fighter.
C．Causes of air pollution in London. D．London’s dirty secret.
第二节（5 小题，每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两
项为多余选项。
Sooner or later, many families will face the situation of moving. The
experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and
may not understand it. 36.
37 So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits (好处) of that change
against the comfort that neighborhood，school, and social life give your kids. If your
family has recently dealt with a big life change such as death, you may want to put off a
move to give your children time to accept the fact.
The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or
money problems. Even if you're not happy about the move, try to keep a positive
attitude to it. 38.
No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move
is to talk about it. 39. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house-hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it's being forced
on them. If you're moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house
and the new neighborhood.
40 Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other
by going through it together.
A. Many kids like to stay in familiar places.
B. Many kid are fond of making a life change.
C. During the move, a parent's attitude can greatly influence kids.
D. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible.
E. You can ask your neighbor to talk with your kids about the coming move.
F. You can take steps to make the entire process easier for everyone.
G. A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of
change.
