• 2．The 2020 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to former U.S.Poet Laureate（桂冠诗人）Louise Gluck.The prize committee cited "her unique poetic voice that with plain beauty makes individual existence universal".Gluck is the first American woman to win the award since Toni Morrison in 1993.Gluck，77，joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobelists who include，in this century，Canadian short-story master Alice Munro，Chinese magical-realist Mo Yan，etc.
     Gluck's work includes 12 collections of poetry and a few volumes of essays on literary writing. "All are characterized by a striving for clarity（清晰）.Childhood and family life，the close relationship with parents and siblings，is a theme that has remained central to her，" Anders Olsson，the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature，said. "She seeks the universal，and in this she takes inspiration from myths and classical motifs，" Olsson added，citing her 2006 collection Averno，which the committee described as "masterly" for its "visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone's （珀尔塞福涅） fall into hell in the captivity （囚禁） of Hades（哈得斯），the god of death".
     Being a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge，Gluck also served as U.S.Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards.She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems titled The Wild Iris，in which "she describes the incredible return of life after winter in the poem Snowdrops，" the Nobel literature committee said Thursday.She also won the 2014 National Book Award for the poem Faithful and Virtuous Night.In 2016，President Obama awarded the National Humanities Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony.
     The publicity-shy Gluck did not immediately issue any comment about the latest honor for her body of work，which spans more than half a century.In a 2012 interview，she acknowledged that prizes can make "existence in the world easier" but did not amount to the immortality（不朽） of a true artist.

• 3．You can improve learning and potentially remember more by handwriting your class notes.Although computer technology is often necessary today，using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does.These are findings of a new study.
     As digital devices have taken over society， "keyboard activity is now often recommended as a substitute for early handwriting，" the study notes.The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
     "Some schools in Norway have become completely digital，" notes Audrey Van der Meer，the new study's leader.The human brain has evolved （进化） to interact with the world in as many ways as possible，she notes.She believes that "young children should learn to write by hand successfully，and，at the same time learn to manage a keyboard."
     Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard，her new findings show.This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain.The increased brain activity "gives the brain more 'hooks' to hang your memories on，" she explains.
     Think about it.The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard.In contrast，when we write，our brain needs to think about and collect memories of the shape of each letter.We also need to use our eyes to watch what shapes we're writing.And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters.
     All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain.
     Along the way，these processes appear to "open the brain up for learning，" says Van der Meer.So learning through only one format - digital - could be harmful，she worries.She also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates "visual notetaking." Rather than typing blindly，the visual note-taker has to think about what is important to write down.
  
  （1）Why is the keyboard widely advocated nowadays？

  
  A．Handwriting is out of date.
  B．It has replaced handwriting.
  C．It is easier and more convenient.
  D．Typing can open the brain up for learning.
  （2）Which of the following may Van der Meer agree with？

  
  A．Learning through digital devices is harmful.
  B．We should take notes by handwriting in class.
  C．Young children should learn handwriting instead of typing.
  D．Schools in Norway have entirely given up handwriting.
  （3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Prevent our brain from storing more information.
  B．Enable our brain to remember more.
  C．Promote the full development of our brain.
  D．Give our brain more chances to rest.
  （4）What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about？

  
  A．The benefits of handwriting.
  B．The process of handwriting.
  C．The similarities of typing and writing.
  D．The importance of typing and writing.

第二节 （满分25分）

• 9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
      Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children. He threw rocks at them and even shot at them with a shotgun. At least that's what we had heard.
      His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger sister，Leigh Ann，and I lived when we were growing up. His farm was long， narrow， and quaint. It held two treasures. One was his beautiful fruit.
      There were many varieties of fruit： pears， apples，and lots more I just can't think of. The fruit naturally drew the children to his land. It made them into thieves. But my sister and I didn't dare to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors we had heard about Old Man Donovan.
      One summer day， we were playing in a nearby field. It was time to head back home. My sister and I were feeling very daring that day. There was a short cut to our house that went through the Donovan farm. We thought he wouldn't be able to see us run across his property around the luscious（可口味美的）fruit trees. We were almost through the farm when we heard， "Hey，girls!" in a gruff （粗哑的），low voice. We stopped dead in our tracks! There we were， face to face with Old Man Donovan. Our knees were shaking. We had visions of rocks pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts.
      "Come here，" he said，reaching up to one of his apple trees. Still shaking，we went over to him. He held out several ripe， juicy， red apples. "Take these home，" he commanded.We took the apples with surprised hearts and ran all the way home. Of course， Leigh Ann and I ate the apples.
      As time went on， we often went through Old Man Donovan's farm， and he kept on giving us more luscious fruit. One day， we stopped by to see him when he was on his front porch （门廊）. We talked to him for hours. While he was talking， we realized that we had found the other hidden treasure： the sweet， kind heart hidden behind his gruff voice. Soon， he was one of our favorite people to talk to.
      Paragraph 1：
      Every summer， we would visit Mr. Donovan and talk to him.________
      Paragraph 2：
      The next winter， word got around that Old Man Donovan had died._________
