    Although computer technology is often necessary today，using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does.You can potentially remember more by handwriting，according to a new study.
    The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time.The new study set out to answer one question：How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information？
    In total 24 participants took part.Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard.While performing these tasks，each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes （電極） next to their head.It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors.Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves.The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task.And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.
    Audrey van der Meer，the new study's leader，says this suggests that when we write by hand，we remember better. "This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain.The increased brain activity gives the brain more 'hooks' to hang your memories on." she explains.Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. "Rather than typing blindly，the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down.Then，key words can be interlinked by boxes，arrows and small drawings，" she adds.
    This study does not recommend banning digital devices.In fact，its authors point out，computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society.Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs （such as if they have trouble using their hands） and typing beats writing when it comes to speed，they add.

（1）Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study？
A
A

A．To record their brainwaves.
B．To inform them of their tasks.
C．To allow them to focus on writing.
D．To protect their heads like hair nets.
（2）What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain？
A
A

A．Why handwriting is more complex than typing.
B．Why the brain works when it comes to learning.
C．Why small drawings are connected to memory.
D．Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking.
（3）What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4？
A
A

A．helps you to remember more details.
B．reminds you to have regular reviews.
C．tags your memories for further recalling.
D．eases your tension of memorizing things.
（4）What is the study's authors' view on typing？
B
B

A．It relieves people's bands.
B．It remains vital and helpful.
C．It is not worth recommending.
D．It is more challenging than writing.
（5）Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text？

1．Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say that with these robots，rescue workers will be able to have more time to save more lives during an earthquake.
   This robot looking like a helicopter，is called the detectorbot.It's about 4 meters long，and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions（作用）are to collect information from the air，and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people stuck in an earthquake.
   This robot has a high quality 360 degree panoramic（全景的）camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.Dr.Qi Juntong，from the Chinese Academy of Sciences，said， "Unlike other automatic machines，the most important feature of this robot is that it doesn't need a distant control.We just input the information of the earthquake-struck area to it，and then it takes off，and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3，000 meters，and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour."
   This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
   As well as a detector（探測器） that finds victims（遇難者）and detects poisonous gas，a camera is placed in the 4-meter-long robot，which can work in the dark.
   Another use for the rescuers is the supply device，with its 10-meter-long pipe.People who are caught in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
   Experts have said that the robots will go into production，and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.

（1）What can we learn about the robot according to the passage？

A．It hasn't been put into production so far.
B．It is a machine with a length of 10 meters.
C．It is a machine carried by a helicopter.
D．It weighs about 30 kilos.
（2）Why did Dr.Qi Juntong think this robot is different from the others？

A．It has more functions.
B．It has a more advanced camera.
C．It can change as the environment changes.
D．It can work by itself once given the information.
（3）What is the passage mainly about？

A．The appearance of the robot.
B．An introduction to the robot.
C．The reason for making the robot.
D．Some information about earthquakes.

2．    Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth's ability to perform as students.Therefore，it's important to develop reading skills during childhood.A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction，known as embodied learning.
    The research included 149 children，aged 5 to 6，who had just started school.They were divided into three groups：one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds；a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms；and a control group that received traditional，seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
    "Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction" says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH's Department of Nutrition，Exercise and Sports.
    With regard to difficult letter sounds，she adds， "There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish.These sounds are particularly important because once children become skilled at them，they will be better readers.
    Associate professor Jacob Wienecke，who led the study，explains，the primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start.The idea is that if，through play and movement，we can learn where their strengths truly lie，we'll create a form of learning that combines reading with play，and that's truly positive."
    Previously，the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement.Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
    The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children's reading of words.This was not possible，which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.

（1）What were the participants required to do in the study？

A．To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B．To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C．To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D．To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
（2）How can embodied learning get children actively involved？

A．By combining learning with games.
B．By offering them chances to cooperate.
C．By inspiring them to overcome difficulties.
D．By explaining instructions to them patiently.
（3）What does the underlined word "proficient" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

A．terrible.
B．skilled.
C．delighted.
D．fascinated.
（4）What does Jacob expect of the research finding？

A．Encouraging educators to apply it to teaching.
B．Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
C．Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
D．Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
（5）What does the last paragraph intend to tell us？

A．Children prefer learning step by step.
B．Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly.
C．Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.
D．Children's learning still relies on adults' instruction.

3．At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible．However，chances are that you don't act on your impulse （沖動），but let it pass instead You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior．
