eful）”最能描述她。7．最后一段作者总结道“Ifwetakethetime,togiveotherslinkstheyneedtobegood...Sendaletter.Giveacall.Takeastepofbravery,likeEmerson.”，由此可知，文章的主旨是人们应该主动与他人建立联系。8．C9．B10．C11．A【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了手写技能在现代教育中的地位，以及拼写能力对于写作技能的重要性。【详解】8．根据第一段中“Thepracticeofstudentsendlesslycopyinglettersandsentencesfromablackboardisathingofthepast.Withthecomingofnewtechnologieslikecomputersandsmartphones,writingbyhandhasbecomesomethingofanostalgicskill.”可知，新技术如计算机和智能手机的出现使得手写成为过去。9．第四段中“Inamorerecentstudy,Berningerlookedatwhatrolespellingplaysinastudent’swritingskillsandfoundthathowwellchildrenspellistiedtohowwelltheycanwrite.”可知，拼写能力与写作能力密切相关，这最好地体现了拼写的作用。10．根据第五段中“Spellinghelpsstudentstranslateideasintowordsintheirmindfirstandthentotranscribe(转换)thosewordsinthemindintowrittensymbolsonpaperorkeyboardandscreen.”以及“Seeingthewordsinthe‘mind’seye’helpschildrennotonlytoturntheirideasintowords,butalsotofindoutspellingmistakeswhentheywritethewordsdownandtocorrectthemovertime.”可知，“mind’seye”指的是孩子们在脑海中想象单词的过程，即想象力（Imagination）。11．根据第一段中“However,whiletoday’seducatorsareusingmoreandmoretechnologyintheirteaching,manybelievebasichandwritingskillsarestillnecessaryforstudentstobesuccessful—bothinschoolandinlife.”以及后文对手写技能和拼写能力的讨论，可知文章主要讨论了手写技能在现代教育中的地位，由此推知，手写技能在今天的课堂上仍然有一席之地。12．D13．A14．C15．B【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现很多人在聊天时都会有想要结束谈话的想法，但还是会坚持尬聊一会儿，分析了其原因并给出了结束对话的建议。【详解】12．根据第三段“Also,moreparticipantsbelievedthattheywantedtoendtheconversationfirst.Onaverage,theycontinuedtalkingfor3.87minutesbeforetheyfoundthattheotherspeakerwishedthesamething.”可推测出，许多人想逃避谈话的时间比他们预期的要长。13．根据第四段“Thepaperpointedoutthatwhentheytalktostrangers,whatmakespeople“masktheirdesires”maybetheirpoliteness.”可知，人们在与陌生人交谈时倾向于隐藏他们想要结束对话的欲望是为了表示礼貌。14．根据倒数第三段“Youshouldmakeyourpartnerfeelgoodabouttheendofthechatby“clearlycommunicatingthatyouhadanicetimeandwouldliketotalkagain”.”可知，你应该表达你想下次再聊的愿望，让对方对结束聊天感到满意。15．根据最后一段“However,insomeways,thisdilemma(困境)maynotbeabadthing.Peopleneedsocialconnections,andconversationisagoodwaytomaketheseconnectionshappen.”可知，作者对结束对话的困境持积极态度。16．G17．D18．B19．E20．C【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在台风前、中、后阶段的安全防护措施和注意事项。【详解】16．上文“Typhoonsareoftenunderestimated.Whenyourealizethedamagethat’sbeingdoneoveritsduration,it’stoolate.Fortunately,therearemanyknownmethodsofstayingsafeduringatyphoon.”，说明台风非常危险，但是却有许多安全的措施让人们安全地度过台风，空处承接上文，引出下文中的相关措施。G项“Expertshavedevelopedalistofinstructionstofollowduringallstagesofatyphoon.”，符合语境。17．上文“Whenofficialswarnofapotentialtyphoon,it’sessentialtomonitorlocalbroadcastingservicesforupdatesonthesituation.”，说明官方会警告台风的到来，所以要时刻关注官方的消息。空处对前文进行补充，说明除了官方，也可以向别人来寻求指导，并引出下文，D项“Ifyoufeelofficialguidanceislacking,looktothelocalresidents.”中的officialguidance和上文中的officials相呼应，而下文“Typhoonsareregulareventsformanyofthem.”中的them指代D项中的“localresidents”，说明如果官方给出的指导不足，可以向当地居民寻求帮助。符合语境。18．上文“Duringatyphoon,itiscrucialtostayindoors.”，说明台风期间需要呆在室内。空处顺接前文，详细解释了如何确保安全，B项“Waitforofficialclearancebeforegoingoutside.”中的“beforegoingoutside”和上文中的“stayindoors”相呼应，B项“在外出之前，请等待官方的许可。”，符合语境。19．下文“Firstandforemost,thedamageneedstobeassessedbyprofessionals.Waitinguntilofficialadviceitissafetogooutsideisrecomm
