It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said .Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen, the study said. Seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words , says Berninger , but also to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.“ In our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options（选项） given by the computer.”56. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past ?A. The absence of blackboard in classrooms.B. The use of new technologies in teaching.C. The lack of practice in handwriting.D. The popular use of smartphones.57. Berningers study published in 2020 _ .A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D. discussed the importance of writing speed.58. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling improves ones memory of words.B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.59. What does minds eye in paragraph 5 mean?A. Window.B. Soul .C. Picture.D. Imagination .60. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms.D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.B“ Have a nice day !” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression . When my friend Maxie says have a nice day with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day , Next !” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries（杂货） out the door. The words come out in the same tone（腔调） with a fixed procedure（程序）. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes in indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I am terrible sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that its a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way , its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when their really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, its always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.61. How does the author understand Maxies words?A.

Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. Im Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually（最终）came, my nerves（神经）kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor , but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okay , here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of raised hands. Every student would shout to be heard , and I would knock on something in order to silence them . I would yell. “Calm down, youll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time ! ”A terrible silence ruled the room , and seeing no other options（选择）, I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.66.

Sport events are the most popular weekend programs , especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be hard time for programming.Media companies also use sports to attract commercial sponsors（赞助商）that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract made viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率)are unusually low . However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars. business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers . With such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.71. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons .A. result in more sport eventsB. get more viewers to play sportsC. make more people interested in televisionD. bring more money to the television networks72.Why would weekend afternoons become hard time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewers .B. Because the advertisers would be off work
