21、When 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time, she gave Daniels a run for his money. Paired through DOROT, a New York organization which was launched in 1976, they are a perfect match. “I was a good opponent for him. I don’t think he expected it.” Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well. Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy. Williams and Daniels’ relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations have little in common.

Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person’s needs and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.

Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years, but the classification of loneliness as an epidemic(流行病) has emerged only in recent years. In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue.

Fortunately, there are ways to battle loneliness, including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by organizations like DOROT. It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends, joining a community or social group, or volunteering to connect with like-minded people. The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all the participants, young and old.

Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations. Practicing self-care is also encouraged, as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph l probably mean?

A．She had a running race with Daniels.

B．Daniels felt disappointed.

C．Daniels had a tough win.

D．She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.

【2】What is the purpose of DOROT?

A．To make technological innovation.

B．To enhance the living standards of the elderly.

C．To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.

D．To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.

【3】What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3?

A．The solution to loneliness.

B．The root cause of loneliness.

C．The classification of loneliness.

D．The growing attention to loneliness.

【4】In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come from?

A．Society Watch.

B．News Express.

C．Page Turner.

D．Science Study.

22、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 and showed them the image again.

It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand 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 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.

A．Handwriting is not very important to children.

B．Handwriting has nothing to do with education.

C．Handwriting should not be ignored at present.

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

【2】What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?

A．Children read quickly when they write by hand.

B．How we write is as important as what we write.

C．Children create ideas and remember information.

D．A group of students should know what to write.

【3】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．Type the image directly on a computer.

D．Put a brain scanner and show the image again.

【4】According to the passage, the author obviously_____ giving up handwriting.

B．is against

C．is responsible for

24、How to Get Confidence in Your English Speaking

Read out loud.

Reading out loud can help build confidence in how your English sounds. So the next time you are reading a website, book or something else that you enjoy, take a few minutes to read the material aloud.

Before reading aloud, read the story silently first. The second time, if there is audio, you can listen to the speaker as you read along silently. 【1】 Then, try listening to the speaker and reading out loud at the same time.

Speak in full sentences

Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible. 【2】 Using complete sentences and giving more details in responses shows listeners that you are not afraid to speak English.

Don’t worry too much.

One of the biggest difficulties to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes. So our tip is: Do not worry too much about mistakes.

Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. But keep in mind that the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate. 【3】

Set realistic goals.

If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or middle level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail. 【4】 But, if you do something that matches your level, you are more likely to do it well.

As you learn English, it is natural to lack some of the skills you need to communicate well. 【5】 But remember that, as your skills grow, your confidence will, too. You can make a plan for daily practice and spend at least 30 minutes each day practicing your English.

A．Mistakes can be a good thing.

B．This can harm your confidence.

C．Then, try to read the story out loud alone.

D．Often, when we lack skills, we lack confidence.

E．And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes.

F．The more full and long responses you make, the clearer you will make them.

G．If you are not confident in a language, you may say as little as possible when speaking.
