17、a healthy diet. In school, children learn to eat a variety of healthy foods. People grow up aware of the value of _51_ calories. They hear about the health dangers of chemicals added to _52_ food. They realize they shouldnt eat too many sweets or fats. Many American consumers read _53_ carefully for

18、 nutrition information. In that way they can compare products and eat the best foods. Keeping fit - or maybe getting in shape - is often high on the list of New Years resolutions for Americans. In the past two decades, fitness has become a fashion. Many Americans have joined health clubs to work out

For each of them there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best. Were told that writing is dying. T

24、yping on keyboards and screens _61_ written communication today. Learning cursive（草书的）, joined - up handwriting was once _62_ in schools. But now, not so much. Countries such as Finland have dropped joined-up handwriting lessons in school _63_ typing courses. And in the US, the requirement to learn

25、cursive has been left out of core standards since 2013. A few US states still place value on formative cursive education, such as Arizona, but theyre not the _64_. Some experts point out that writing lessons can have indirect benefits. Anne Trubek, author of The History and Uncertain Future of Handw

26、riting, argues that such lessons can _65_ a skill called auto-maticity. Thats when youve perfected a task, and can do it almost without thinking, granting you _66_ mental bandwidth to think about or do other things while youre doing the task. In this sense, Trubek compares handwriting to driving. “O

27、nce you have driven for a while, you dont _67_ think Step on gas now or Turn the steering wheel a bit,” she explains. “You just do it. Thats what we want children to _68_ when learning to write. You and I dont think now make a loop going up for the I - or “now look for the letter r on the keyboard.

28、Trubek has written many essays and books on handwriting, and she doesnt believe it will die out for a very long time. _69_, she believes students are learning auto-maticity faster with keyboards than with handwriting: students are learning how to type without looking at the keys at earlier ages, and

29、 to type faster than they could write, granting them extra time to think about word choice or sentence _70_. In an essay for the New York Times last year, Trubek argued that due to the _71_ auto-maticity takes up less of their education. This is a view that has attracted both criticism and support.

30、She explains that two of the most common arguments she hears from _72_ regarding the decline of handwriting is that not protecting it will result in a “loss of history” and a “loss of _73_ touch.” On the former she _74_ that 95% of handwritten manuscripts cant be read by the average person anyway -

31、“thats why we have paleographers（古文字学家）,” she explains, paleography being the study of ancient styles of writing - while the _75_ refers to the warm associations we give to handwritten personal notes, such as thank-you cards.

35、tements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a siblings(兄弟姐妹的)name. How could she no

36、t know you? Did it mean she loved you less? Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的)error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names. The study, published online

37、in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubi

38、n, “but it does tell us whos in and whos out of the group.” The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender. The researchers

39、 conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to themfamily or friendhad called them by another persons name. The other surveys aske

40、d about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries. In general, the study found that undergraduates

41、 were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have childr

42、en. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry. 76. What did David Rubins research find about misnaming? A)It is related to the way our memories wor

43、k. B)It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory. C)It occurs mostly between kids and their friends. D)It often causes misunderstandings among people. 77. What is most likely the cause of misnaming? A) Similar personality traits. B) Similar spellings of names. C) Similar physical appearance. D) Si

B) It hardly occurs across gender boundaries. C) It is most frequently found in extended families. D) It most often occurs within a relationship gro

45、ups. 79. The passage is mainly about _. A. scientific research on misnaming and their findings. B. why mother misname their kids more often than fathers.
