90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. but studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day which really for handwriting is pretty much.many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again. today s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. after all, that is why we write.handwriting involves two skills. one is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. the other is fluency writing without having to think about it. fluency continues to develop up until high school.but not everyone masters these skills. teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.but steve graham at vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. american children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(书写体), which connects the letters. but guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the college board, which administers the sat college admission test. more than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive. 25.we can learn from paragraph 1.a. most teachers prefer to teach handwritingb. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingc teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching jobd. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely26.which of the following is wrong for traditional handwriting in the usa?a. the students are taught by practicing a long period. b. the letters are repeated many times. c. handwriting includes two skills. d. to write in cursive is taught first.27. the underlined word “legibility” in paragraph 3 means _.a. unexpected b. easy to read c. complex d. unreadable28. the best title for the passage is _.a. right or wrong: the death of handwriting b. how to improve handwriting in school c. handwriting involves two skills d. handwriting lessons are on the way outc john h. johnson was born in a black family in arkansas city in 1918. his father died in an accident when john was six. he was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.fortunately he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) caring mother. john remembered that his mother told him many times, “son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”she told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “you have to earn success, ”she said. “all the people who work hard dont succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”these words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. she also knew that believing and hard work dont mean everything. so she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to chicago.chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. johns mother and stepfather could not find work. but here john could go to school, and here he learned the power of wordsas an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at du sable high school his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.while others discouraged him, johns mother offered him more words to live by.“nothing beats a failure but a try. ”she also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the negro magazine.it is natural that difficulties and failures followed john closely until he became very successful. he always keeps his mothers words in mind.“son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”now john h. johnson is one of the 400 richest people in americaworth $ 150 million.29. johns mother decided to move to chicago because _. a. his father died when john was very young b. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown c. john needed more education badly d. there were no schools for negroes in their hometown30. johns mother _. a. didnt believe in or depend on others b. thought one could be whatever one wanted to be c. believed one would succeed without working hard d. thought no one could succeed without working hard31. the story mainly tells us _. a. how john h. johnson became successful b. about the mental (心理的) support johns mother gave him c. about the importance of a good education d. about the key to success for blacksd sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. however, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment. some sports are resource-hungry. golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. this causes major environmental effects. for example, in the dry regions of portugal and spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. there are many environment-friendly sports. power walking is one of them that you could take up today. you dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse. simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. if you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. but the final goal should be “green gyms”. they are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. there is no special requirement for you to start your membership. and best of all, its free. 32. which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?a. motor racing in the desert. b. cycling around a lake. c. playing basketball in a gym. d. swimming in a sports center. 33. what do we know about golf from the passage?a. it is popular in portugal and spain. b. it causes water shortages around the world. c. it pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes. d. it needs water and much energy to keep its courses green. 34. the author uses power walking as an example mainly because_. a. it uses fewer resources b. it improves our healthc. it is an outdoor sport d. it is recommended by experts35. the author writes the passage to_. a. show us the function of major sportsb. introduce different types of sportsc. discuss the major influence of popular sportsd. encourage us to go in for green sports第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读七选五：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。everyone can benefit from making an effort to practice gratitude (感激) every day. the following three steps can help you start feeling more grateful, and appreciative of the good things in your life: notice the good things in your life _ 36 pay attention to the small everyday details of your life nature, people, community, shelter, creature comforts like a warm bed or a good meal. and then start a gratitude journal. making a commitment to writing down good things each day makes it more likely that we will notice good things as they happen. _ 37 there are moments when you naturally, right then and there, feel filled with gratitude. these are moments when you say to yourself, “oh, wow, this is amazing!” or “how great this is!” pause. notice and absorb that feeling of true gratitude. let it sink in. enjoy your blessings in the moment they happen. express gratitude expressing gratitude is more than being polite. 38 show your appreciation to someone who really did something nice. say: “it was really kind of you to ,” “you did me a big favor when .,” or “thank you for being there when .”. 39 hold the door open for the person behind you, even if it means waiting a little longer than you normally would. true gratitude doesnt leave you feeling like you owe other people something after all, if youve done someone a favor, you probably dont want the person to feel like you expect something back in return. 40 a. you can also express gratitude by doing a kindness. b. its all about feeling good and creating a cycle of good. c. its about showing your heartfelt appreciation. d. enjoy the feeling of gratitude. e. help someone without letting the person find out it was you. f. start to notice and identify the things you are grateful for. g. its amazing what you notice when you focus on feeling grateful.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
