When I looked in her direction, she apologized: “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?”“I cant read my own handwriting ,”the young woman explained.“Its best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.”That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the photo-taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldnt lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively.Yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary informationit helps prepare the way for understanding. Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method, but just because a method has a long history doesnt mean its out of date. Writing things down engages a students brain in listening, visual, and kinesthetic(触觉的)learninga view supported by a longstanding research. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory, and to process and combine it, establishing the building blocks of learning new concepts.Taking a picture does indeed record the information, but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs. So can the two be equally effective?Im not sure how to measure the effectiveness of either method. For now, I allow students to take notes however they see fithandwritten or photographedbecause I figure that some notes, no matter the method of note-taking, are better than none.36The woman apologized in the class because she_.A.took a picture of the board B.missed the teachers directionsC.had the bad handwriting D.disturbed other students learning37Students refuse to take notes by hand because_.A.they are unable to take notesB.they are more likely to lose notesC.they are interested in using their phonesD.they have a good memory of teachers instructions38According to the passage, taking notes by hand_.A.requires students to think independentlyB.is unsuitable for students to learn new ideasC.helps students actively participate in learningD.proves to be an old and useless learning method39Whats the authors opinion towards taking notes by phones?A.Supportive. B.Neutral. C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.BOne day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality contradicted mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isnt it?” I remarked, in passing. Then, suddenly something inside me sent me turning back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said Thank you!” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “Hell understand. I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.From that day on, I became smile conscious, and I practice that diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I got excited in traffic, taking the rightofway (公路用地) from the other car with my stupid mistake, Id smile and shrug my shoulders apologetically. This action on my part would always draw a goodnatured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault and if I could remember my resolution in time! hed get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. Ill admit it wasnt always easy, but it was fun. The results were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely turn aside illfeeling and tension. Im wondering now how many tragic accidents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, if every driver remembered to smile!40The author got angry while shopping one day because .A.of the clerks unfriendliness and lack of concernB.of her misfortuneC.she failed to purchase what she intendedD.a darkcomplexion young man laughed at her41From the conversation between the author and the Mexican woman, we can infer that the woman .A.was welleducated but unwilling to help othersB.was able to speak EnglishC.knew some English and was ready to help othersD.was familiar with the young man42In the authors opinion, if all people remembered to smile when driving, .A.many traffic accidents could be avoidedB.they would receive a good natural smile in returnC.they could get a broad smile of understandingD.they wouldnt feel any tension43The best title for this passage could be .A.The Art of SmilingB.The Universal LanguageC.The Power of LoveD.The Magic Power of FriendshipCIt must have been around nine Oclock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光) from swinging(摇摆)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But neednt have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps, Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jacks room. He was in bed awake but he didnt even turn towards me.“Whats up, Jack?” I said.“For Gods sake(看在上帝面上), dont make a noise,” he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury(伤害).“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour (迁就)him to keep him happy, “Theres a snake here” he explained, “Its asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of the question. I couldnt have moved even if Id wanted to .” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasnt bitten me yet but I darent do anything to upset it. It might wake up. Im sick of this,” he said, “I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”There was no time to argue or apologize for being late. I looked at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.44The underlined phrase“ out of the question ”means _.A.impossibleB.no problem C.no doubt D.without difficulty45Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Neville and Jack lived in the same houseB.Neville thought that Jack had fallen illC.Neville really believed that Jack was not making a jokeD.Neville refused to argue or to make an apology for coming late46The reason why Neville thought that Jack must be ill is that Jack _.A.asked Neville to take off his shoesB.made a gesture to show the presence of the snakeC.was afraid to upset the snake sleeping between the sheetsD.behaved strangely as if he was badly hurt47According to the passage, Neville should have been home at _.A.7p. mB.8p. mC.9p. mD.midnightDBUDAPEST, HUNGARY - At Eotvos Lorand Universitys Department of Ethnology, visitors are usually greeted not by a security guard, but by a delegation of friendly mongrels, tails wagging. Dogs have the run of the place. They play in classrooms, visit faculty members in their offices, or nap in the laboratories. Animals here are no surprise - ethnology is the zoological study of animal behavior - but the total lack of cages is.“If you were studying human behavior, you wouldnt keep your subjects in a cage for 20 years and then ask them some questions.” asks research fellow Adam Miklosi, who leads much of the research here into the cognitive abilities of mans best friend.Until recently, domestication was thought to have dulled dogs intelligence. Studies in the early 1980s showed that wolves, from which dogs probably descended, can unlock a gate after watching a human do it once, while dogs remained stumped after watching repeatedly.Two years ago, some graduate students were given either a puppy or a wolf cub to raise. They fed the animals by hand, coddling and doting on them. At five weeks, each cub was placed in a room containing an adult and the student who had raised the cub. Both sat motionless. But while the wolf cubs merely sniffed both humans before climbing into the students lap to sleep, the puppies yipped at their caregivers, licking their hands and trying to establish contact.Three months later, the canines were given the opportunity to try to remove a piece of meat from under a cage by pulling on a rope in the presence of their caregiver. Dogs and wolves both mastered this promptly. Then the rope was anchored, making it impossible to obtain the meat. The dogs tried a couple of times, and then turned to their masters for assistance or cues. The wolves ignored their caregivers, yanking on the rope until exhausted.Dogs are very motivated to cooperate with and behave like people. Thats why dogs can do things no other animal can do.48What is ethnology according to the article?A.It is a science on the research into nature.B.It is a branch of social science.C.It is the zoological study of animal behaviors.D.It is the study of the behaviors of living things.49What does Adam Miklosi mean according to his words in paragraph 2?A.If we want to research human behaviors, we should keep the subjects trapped.B.If we want to research the behaviors of an animal, we should let them out of cage and do something.C.If we want to do research, we should first ask the subjects we research some questions.D.If we want to ask what we research some questions, we should keep it in a cage.50What is the meaning of the underlined word “domestication” in paragraph 3?A.Being raised at home by human beings. B.Living in the wild.C.Doing household jobs. D.Enjoy home duties and pleasures.51According to the study, why can the dogs be smarter than the wolves?A.Because the wolves were afraid of human beings and were not able to be tamed.B.Because the dogs did it cleverly by accident, not from the instinct.C.Because the wolves were frightened by the dogs and didnt dare to compete for the meat, only standing there yanking.D.Because the dogs could be motivated to find some ways to cooperate with people to get help.EObese Americans are increasingly proving too fat to fit into scanners or their fat gets in the way of X-rays and ultrasounds, according to a study. Researchers found that the number of patients who had inconclusive test results had doubled over 15 years.Dr Raul Uppot and his team analyzed all the radiology examinations performed at a Massachusetts hospital between 1989 and 2020, looking for records labeled “limited by body habitus” - meaning the patients size hampered the quality of the test. They found that while 0.10 per cent of inconclusive exams were due to patient size in 1989, the figure had climbed to 0.19 per cent by 2020, despite advances in technology. It is estimated that 66 per cent of adults in the US are overweight, obese or morbidly obese, while there are 12.5 million overweight children and adolescents. The team said CT and MRI scans could cause problems for obese patients because there were weight limitations on the imaging table and the size of the opening on the imager could be too small for them to get in.Ultrasound beams and X-rays can also be hindered by fat and fail to produce clear pictures of the organs being examined. Standard CT tables in the US can take patients weighing up to 450lbs, while MRI machines can usually obtain diagnostic-quality images in patients weighing up to 350lbs. The team, writing in the journal Radiology, warned that incomplete examinations because of obesity could have serious consequences, such as misdiagnosis or the failure to find a diagnosis at all.Dr Uppot, a staff radiologist at MGH, said: “Americans need to know that obesity can hinder their medical care when they enter a hospital.” He added: “In the short term, the medical community must accommodate these patients by investing in technology to help them. In the long term, this country must make cultural shifts that promote more exercise and a healthier diet.”52The article mainly tells us that _.A.Am
