Amy Jandrisevits knows the value of a good doll. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely
understand,” she told The Today Show. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using
dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves
in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was transgender, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew
what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period and eventually started a nonprofit, A
Doll Like Me. “It’s hard to tell a kid that they are perfect the way they are and to build self-esteem that way,
yet never give them anything that looks like them.” she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand — using fabric, stitching, and
markers — that resembled her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the
happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was
missing a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial
deformities (畸形)— in short, a doll that looked like them. It takes her as long as seven hours to craft each
one. A GoFundMe page helps her offset costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn’t charged for a
single doll since she began her nonprofit.
In all, she’s made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandrisevits is unbowed. As sheexplains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or body
type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”
4．What’s the value of a good doll to the sick kids according to Jandrisevits?
A．Hiding their sadness. B．Keeping them company.
C．Restoring their physical health. D．Helping kids accept themselves.
5．What does the underlined part “changing that” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Making perfect dolls for children. B．Offering kids dolls to identify with.
C．Telling troubled kids to build self-esteem.D．Encouraging kids to overcome difficulties.
6．What can we infer about dolls from the last two paragraphs?
A．The tailor-made dolls are in short supply.
B．Jandrisevits makes dolls at her own expense.
C．The dolls are only crafted for disabled children.
D．It is a piece of cake for Jandrisevits to craft a doll.
7．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To share how to launch a nonprofit.
B．To appeal for donations to sick kids.
C．To highlight the healing power of dolls.
D．To publicize a lady’s story of crafting dolls for kids.

Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting
can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new
study shows.
In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or
hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical
brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of
electrical waves at the same time. This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the
brain.
With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only
in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have
previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized
that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, whichare involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.
“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,”
Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting,
which might give you some specific advantages.”
These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person
types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves
between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .
And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more
practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or
type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say
that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into
curriculum design,” Ruud says.
8．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research?
A．They tested the function of electrodes. B．They analyzed the brain structure.
C．They monitored the brain activities. D．They recorded the writing speed.
9．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing?
A．It involves more specific brain activation.B．It promotes better muscle memory.
C．It allows for more innovative thinking. D．It encourages better concentration.
10．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing?
A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
11．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class
B．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its Convenience
C．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning
D．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does
D
Concrete has served as the foundation stone of the construction industry for hundreds of years.
However, the process of producing concrete is one of the most environmentally unfriendly processes in the
world. In the process, not only is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) released into the air by the energy used to heat
the limestone, but the limestone itself also gives out a huge amount of the element.
Luckily, a number of start-ups throughout the world are using creative thinking to make the
construction industry a whole lot more friendly for the planet.A Canadian company called CarbonCure, has found a way to inject (注入) concrete with carbon
dioxide itself. Not only does this trap the carbon dioxide into the concrete, keeping it from running away
into the atmosphere, but it also creates a super strong material called calcium carbonate, which reduces the
total amount of concrete that needs to be used.
California-based Brimstone, is creating carbon-negative concrete by doing away with limestone
entirely and instead using silicate rock, a material that does not release carbon dioxide when heated. Instead,
the process produces magnesium (镁) , which absorbs carbon dioxide, as the basis for their concrete.
Additionally, researchers at Australia’s RMIT University have recently released a study showing that
adding coffee grounds instead of sand to concrete could make it much stronger, reducing both the amount of
sand used, as well as the amount of concrete that would need to be used in the final product.
The biggest barrier at this point is convincing members of the industry that the new types of concrete
are safe to be used, according to Stacy Smedley, director at a nonprofit focused on decarbonizing
construction.
Hopefully these new solutions to the environmental problems of concrete will soon be widely adopted.
Given the significant part the construction industry has in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,
great improvements can be made when more environmentally-friendly materials are used.
12．What is the environmental issue associated with traditional concrete production?
A．The high demand for energy. B．The processing of waste materials.
C．The mass release of carbon dioxide. D．The use of non-renewable resources.
13．How does CarbonCure deal with the environmental impact of concrete production?
A．By using silicate rock as the basis. B．By putting carbon dioxide into concrete.
C．By replacing sand with coffee grounds. D．By absorbing carbon dioxide with magnesium.
14．According to Smedley, what is the major challenge facing these solutions?
A．Difficulty in making profits. B．Convincing the public of the convenience.
C．Lack of funding for research. D．Removing the industry members’ safety concerns.
15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To promote an alternative to concrete.
B．To advocate environmental protection.
C．To introduce new ways to produce concrete.
D．To emphasize the significance of creativity.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it will get you the right ones. That’s true, so you
should pursue authentic positivity in your friendships, the opposite of toxic (有毒的) positivity that would
have you encouraging friends in all things, regardless of what you might feel or observe or know about the
challenges of life. 16
1. Ask questions.
A feature of authentic positivity is a curious mindset, a mentality where you are less locked into “telling
it like it is” and more interested in wondering and exploring the possibilities together with your friend. 17
If your friendship has a history of welcome advice-giving, your question could be “Are you looking for
ideas, or do you just want me to listen?”
2. 18
“That’s so disappointing” is sometimes the most positive thing you can say to your friend when they
are struggling. Resisting the urge to say “It’s all going to work out; don’t worry” shows your friend that you
see them in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now. 19 You can use
“yes/and” statements like “What happened at work is so frustrating—AND I know how creative you are, so
you’ll find a way to move forward.”
3. Learn to apologize —and ask for an apology.
20 That includes you, too. Being authentic in a friendship means having the freedom to say to
a friend, “I’m sorry I hurt you.” It also means being able to say, “Your words/ actions hurt me.” Friendships
that stand the test of time have room for mistakes, and for repair.
A．Name hard truths.
B．Don’t disappoint your friend.
C．Every friend misses the mark sometimes.
D．Instead, friends should be authentic and positive.
E．Here are three ways to be an authentically positive friend.
F．But that doesn’t mean you need to focus on the negative all the time.
G．Positive friends ask each other questions, and listen deeply to the answers.

Golden Girl
When your mother enters her ninth decade, you make a point of being a little extra careful for any signs
of decline—memory loss, repetition and the like.
Thankfully, my mother has been blessed with good health, and her mental state seems to have remained
alright. But when she got inked at such an advanced age, I had to wonder.
My mother looks just like many grandmothers, short, slightly fat and white-haired. She’s rosy-cheeked
and jolly, and when she laughs her eyes almost seem to disappear behind her fleshy cheeks. She comes from
an old, traditional family. She was a career civil servant. In short, she didn’t do crazy suff.
That all changed a few years ago. She began to surprise my older brother and me with what she
described as “independence.” At the time, we merely saw them as examples of irresponsibility and possibly
age-related questionable judgment.
In early 2015, the year she turned 75, she informed us she’d booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone.
Because she had never been. Of course, that was astonishing. There was no way my brother and I could
allow that. A shaky little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of
Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question!
She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful
success. As it turns out, she had barely spent any time alone after hiring a taxi driver to show her around
Istanbul for a few days. He took her to open-air markets, parks, and restaurants. He introduced her to a
rug(小地毯)seller named Mustafa, “a lovely fellow,” and she bought some rugs. The seller had taken her
address details and promised to ship the rugs home. The seller and my mother apparently struck up quite a
friendship and she had told him to please drop by if he were ever in Canada. My mother beamed as she told
this story.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We couldn’t believe how naïve (幼稚) she had been and sat her down to explain that she had been
tricked.
