With the coming of new technologies like comp
26、uters and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic(怀旧的) skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successfulboth in school and in life. Virginia Ber
27、ninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing t
28、asksboth on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writi
29、ng skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said. Spelling h
30、elps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind into 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 als
31、o to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them 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, the
32、y wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”56. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A. The absence of blackboards in classrooms.B. The use of new technologies in teaching.C. The lack of practice in handwriting.D. The popular use of sma

Berningers study published in 2009 _.A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computerB. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paperC. found that good essays are made up of long sentencesD. discussed the importance of writing speed58. Which of the f
34、ollowing 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
35、 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.

36、ty develops fast in the fifth grade.B“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days！”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads，promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The pro
37、moters of products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health.To understand
38、 how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug，FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the
39、market.But if the product is a device，FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health，FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seiz
40、ure(查封)of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the
41、 device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually.Before buying，it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.61It can be
42、inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are_.Aobjective BcostlyCunreliable Dillegal62.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe court is in charge of removing dangerous products.BNew products are more likely to be questionable.CThe production of a device must be approved by FDA.D
43、The promoters usually just care about profits.63FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product_.Aif it is a drugBif it is a deviceCif its consumers make complaintsDif its distributors challenge FDAs authority64The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_.Aa product which was designed to prod
