Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one39。s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading prehension. But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. That39。s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people39。s handwriting lately? Or anyone39。s for that matter, in this age of puter keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. Yet today39。s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字跡) of young people who39。ve been typing on puters since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one39。s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And don39。t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as puters go down when power goes out. Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your hand writing. Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb, then rest it near the first knuckle (指節(jié)) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed. Evaluate your writing. Make changes to your letters till you like how they look. Take your time. Speed is bound to make your writing messylooking. Practice. Practice it a lot。 it39。s not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.（1）The underlined word “scribble” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A.write quickly and roughlyB.type simply and correctlyC.paint clearly and neatlyD.describe properly and well（2）According to Paragraph 3, students with good handwriting skill ________.A.can pass the SATB.can develop good charactersC.can impress their classmatesD.can get more job opportunities（3）Which of the following should you avoid when improving your handwriting?A.Practicing writing a lot.B.Writing as fast as you can.C.Relaxing your hand when holding the pen.D.Changing your letters till you like how they look.（4）The text is to present the fact that ________.A.writing seems to be very important in the SATB.those who will go to college have to take the SATC.students should practice handwriting more oftenD.kids don39。t know how to write in the puter age【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】SAT考試增加了書面表達，但當前學生不注重書寫，所以此項改革會督促學生更多的練字。( 1 )詞義猜測題。結(jié)合劃線部分的上下文，在計算機時代，學生手寫的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)很罕見，只有一兩個單詞在行李箱或午餐包上，用來辨認物主，書法在其他場合就像嘟嘟鳥一樣滅絕了，故推斷學生在課堂上記筆記非常潦草，故選A。( 2 )細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段提到Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one39。s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential ，漂亮的書法不僅僅能在考試中幫助得分，還可以在今后找工作中給雇主留下美好的印象，故選D。( 3 )細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后三段的標題Evaluate your writing；Take your time；Practice. Practice it a lot可知，沒有提到B項，這是寫作中應該避免的。故選B。( 4 )推理判斷題。由于SAT考試增加書面表達，但當前學生不重視書寫，所以此項改革會督促學生更多的練字，故選C。5．閱讀理解 Most people know that listening to music when they are feeling down or depressed can encourage their spirits. However studies have also shown that music, especially certain tones can reduce stress. Music can change brainwave patterns, deepen breathing, and bring on a totally stressfree and more open mindset（心態(tài)）. Using music to relax when considering a particular problem may not only raise your mood, but also could help you reach that ahamoment and find a solution. Music has also been shown not only to make you feel good, but also, to be a great motivator. For example, during exercise, listening to music can keep you going, or get you to exercise more by helping you to ignore negative feelings of tiredness and focus on the pleasurable feelings you get from being absorbed in the music. Music is mainly used to record emotion. When we listen to a piece of music we share the artist39。s feelings on a visceral（本來的）level. That can be sad, and who among us hasn39。t put on a painful love song to share in the misery after a bad breakup? On the contrary, we can share in the delight of songs of joy and happiness, or any song or piece of music that reminds us of a particular happy time in our past. So next time you are feeling down, put on Beethoven39。 s Ode to Joy, I bet you will feel a lot better about whatever it was that was bothering you! （1）We can infer from the first paragraph that music can A.benefit you in many waysB.promote you to find more questionsC.change the patterns of your lifestyleD.influence your attention to a problem（2）The author wrote the second paragraph mainly to A.tell us a storyB.make some mentsC.give us an exampleD.list some facts（3）When we enjoy a piece of sad music, A.we39。ll share the artist39。s feelings deeplyB.we may recall our mi
