The temperature rises (上升) quickly during this time. Here are three things about how Chinese greet the Start of Summer.

23、Does handwriting matter (要紧)? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare (宣布) handwriting is not important. New evidence (证据) shows that the link (联系) 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 did not learn to read and write. They were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the picture 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 picture again.

It was found that when children drew a picture freehand (徒手画) without a dotted outline or a computer, the activities in three areas of the brain increased (增加). These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. Children chose the other two ways and they showed no such result. 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 minds and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

【1】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 educational development.

C．Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

D．Handwriting actually matters at present.

【2】What does “that view” in Paragraph 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.

【3】Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment (实验)?

A．Copy the picture on a page but with a dotted outline.

B．Draw the picture on a place of white paper.

C．Put a brain scanner and show the picture again.

D．Type the picture on a computer.

【4】According to the passage, the writer ________ handwriting.

A．agrees to give up

B．refuses to give up

C．doesn’t care about

D．doesn’t think highly of

24、On my recent travels in China, I went from the top to the bottom of the country. I was amazed at how different the weather was in different cities. So far I have been freezing cold in Chongli (Hebei province) and Harbin, but much warmer in Shanghai, Guilin, Qingdao and Yangshuo. Each city has a different feel and allows you to experience different things.

In Qingdao we ate seafood, drank beer and even swam in the sea. In Harbin we wore our warmest jackets, ate local sausage and saw the amazing ice and snow sculptures (雪雕). In Chongli we learned how to snowboard (滑雪板)!   Shanghai reminded (提醒) me of a city in Europe or America. There are lots of Western cafes. Guilin was a good place to be during Spring Festival. Fireworks filled the sky and the streets were busy with excited people. I visited the old buildings and walked around a beautiful lake.

But Yangshuo has been my favorite city so far. I could not stop taking photos of the beautiful mountains and the Li River. I rode a bicycle along the Yulong River in the warm sun. I ate strawberries and drank tea from the farms in the mountains.

Now l am back in Beijing. I am looking forward to my next trip. I think I will go to another warm place!

【1】Which city reminded the writer of a city in a western country?

A．Beijing.

【2】In Yangshuo, the writer enjoyed the following activities EXCEPT ________.

A．seeing the amazing ice and snow sculptures

B．riding the bike along the river

25、语法填空

(1) One of the world’s 【1】(danger) sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It’s 8844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous 【2】(climb). Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties 【3】 (include) freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.

(2) The first people 【4】(reach) the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary 【5】 May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to 【6】(success) was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975. Why do so many 【7】(climb) risk their lives? One of the main reasons is because people want 【8】 (challenge) themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up 【9】(try) to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be 【10】(strong) than the forces of nature.
