D.Relieve.【答案】8.B9.C10.D11.C【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了巧克力对健康和环境的影响，以及提出了生产巧克力的方法。【8题详析】细节理解题。根据第一段中“However,recentreportshaveemphasizedthatchocolateproductionposesenvironmentalandnutritionalconcerns.(然而，最近的报告强调，巧克力生产带来了环境和营养问题。)”以及第二段中“Inastudy,researchersraisedconcernsaboutchocolates’impactsonhealth.Additionally,chocolateproductioncanimpactlanduseandincreaseglobalwarming.(在一项研究中，研究人员提出了巧克力对健康影响的担忧。此外，巧克力生产会影响土地使用，加剧全球变暖。)”可知，巧克力生产对健康和环境都有影响。故选B项。【9题详析】推理判断题。根据第三段中“ThelatestJunereportrevealedthatSwissscientistshavediscoverednewwaystoproducehealthierandmoresustainablechocolate.(6月份的最新报告显示，瑞士科学家发现了生产更健康、更可持续的巧克力的新方法。)”以及第六段中“Whilethechocolateusesanewrecipe,theresultexplainsthatitisidenticaltoothertraditionaldarkchocolateintermsoftasteandtexture.Additionally,thereportemphasizedthatthereisstillaneedforapilotstudy(试点研究).Accordingtoareport,peoplewhoconsumethesechocolatescannoticeslightdifferencesinflavorandsweetness.(虽然巧克力采用了新配方，但结果表明，它在味道和质地上与其他传统黑巧克力完全相同。此外，该报告强调，仍有必要进行初步研究。根据一份报告，食用这些巧克力的人可以注意到味道和甜度的细微差异。)”可知，作者在文中既提到了巧克力生产存在的问题，也介绍了瑞士科学家发现的新的更健康、更可持续的巧克力生产方法的优点和不足（如还需要试点研究，人们能注意到味道和甜度的细微差异等），没有明显的褒贬倾向，只是客观地阐述事实，所以作者的态度是客观的。故选C项。【10题详析】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Additionally,thereportemphasizedthatthereisstillaneedforapilotstudy(试点研究).Accordingtoareport,peoplewhoconsumethesechocolatescannoticeslightdifferencesinflavorandsweetness.(此外，该报告强调，仍有必要进行初步研究。根据一份报告，食用这些巧克力的人可以注意到味道和甜度的细微差异。)”可知，新的巧克力配方还需要进行试点研究，并且人们能注意到味道和甜度的细微差异，说明到目前为止它还不是很完美。故选D项。【11题详析】词义猜测题。根据划线单词中“Ascocoademandsoars(猛增),deforestationcanlikelybecomemorewidespread…(随着可可需求的飙升，森林砍伐可能会变得更加普遍……)”以及后一句“Asaresult,offeringenvironment-friendlyandsustainablewaystoproducechocolatesiscrucial.(因此，提供环保和可持续的巧克力生产方式至关重要。)”可知，随着可可需求猛增，森林砍伐可能会更广泛，这会对气候变化产生影响。结合常识，森林砍伐会导致环境恶化，进而使气候变化更严重，所以“exacerbate”意思是“使恶化；加剧”，与C选项“Worsen.(恶化)”意思相近。故选C项。DInaneradominatedbykeyboardsandscreens,thedeclineofhandwritinghassparkeddebatesaboutitsrelevance.Yetresearchconsistentlyhighlightsuniquecognitive(认知的)advantagesofwritingbyhandthatdigitaltoolscannotimitate.Numerousstudiesrevealthatmanualwritingstrengthensmemorymaintenancemoreeffectivelythantyping.NaomiSusanBaron,alinguisticsprofessor,notesthatpeopleacrossJapan,Norway,andtheU.S.recallinformationbetterwhenjottingitdown(草草记下)manually.Forinstance,adultslearningArabiclettersviahandwritingoutperformedtypistsinrecognitionandpronunciationspeed.Similarly,studentswhotakehandwrittennotesduringlecturesdemonstratedeepercomprehensioncomparedtothosetyping,ashandwritingforcesthebraintoactivelymapsoundstolettershapes—aprocesscriticalforliteracydevelopment.Neurologicalevidencesupportsthesefindings.UsingEEGscans,Norwegianresearchersobservedthathandwritingactivatesbroaderbrainnetworks,includingregionslinkedtomemory,attention,andmotorskills,whiletypingonlystimulateslocalizedareas.Theta(4-7Hz)andalpha(8-12.5Hz)brainwaves,associatedwithlearningandfocus,werenotablystrongerduringmanualwriting.Thismulti-sensoryengagement—combiningtouch,vision,andmovement—enhancesneuralconnectivityandinformationencoding.Expertsarguethathandwriting’stactile(触觉的)naturefostersdeepercognitiveprocessing.Unliketyping,whichallowsforquickcorrectionsandauto-completions,writingbyhandrequiresdeliberateplanningofeachstroke,promotingmindfulnessandreducingmentalshortcuts.Such“neuralmaintenance”,asVanderMeertermsit,notonlysharpensmemorybutalsodelayscognitivedecline.Educatorsarere-evaluatinghandwriting’srole.Whilesomecountrieshavedroppedcursive(手写体的)instruction,otherslikeNorwayandpartsoftheU.S.arereintegratingitintocurriculatosupportbraindevelopment.Foradults,maintaininghandwritingpracticeservesasalow-costcognitiveexercise,similartophysicalworkoutsforthemind.Inconclusion,handwritingremainsavitaltoolforoptimizingbrainfunction.Thoughdigitaltoolsexcelinefficiency,thesensoryandmotordemandsofwritingbyhandcultivatericherlearningexperiences,fosteringcreativity,focus,andlong-termmaintenance.AsBaronemphasizes,preservingthisskillsafeguardsnotjusttradition,butthefundamentalwaysweprocessandretainknowledge.12.Accordingtothepassage,whatisonesignificantadvantageofhandwritingovertypingintermsofcognitivedevelopment?A.Handwritingimprovestypingspeed.B.Handwritingenhancesmemorypreservation.C.Handwritingincreasesrelianceontechnology.D.Handwritingreducestheneedforliteracydevelopment.13.Whatcanbeinferredabouttheimpactoftheactivationonlearninginparagraph3?A.Itenhanceslearningandfocus.
