C篇【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，论述我们应该重新评估书写对我们的心智能力的益处，未来它将成为教育的重要组成部分。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“In an era f digital technlgy, the art f writing by hand has slwly been dwngraded t a past entertainment.(在数字技术时代，手写的艺术已经慢慢沦为一种过时的娱乐)”可知，人们通常把手写看成一种已经过时的技能。故选A。
29．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Handwriting isn’t just gd fr ur brains health—it als has clear, practical benefits. Research has shwn that students wh take handwritten ntes scre significantly higher n quizzes, demnstrating imprved learning. This extends beynd the classrm t. Peple wh recrded infrmatin n paper calendars demnstrated mre brain activity and recalled infrmatin faster than thse wh used smartphnes. The act f handwriting, therefre, culd be a valuable tl fr students preparing fr exams and adults managing daily tasks.(手写不仅对我们的大脑健康有好处——它还有明显的、实际的好处。研究表明，做手写笔记的学生在测验中得分明显更高，这表明他们的学习能力有所提高。这也延伸到了课堂之外。在纸质日历上记录信息的人比使用智能手机的人大脑活动更活跃，回忆信息的速度也更快。因此，对于准备考试的学生和管理日常事务的成年人来说，书写的行为可能是一个有价值的工具)”可知，该段主要讲述手写对学习和记忆的影响。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been n the decline. Hwever, 25states in the US have reintrduced writing back int schl curriculums. This is a step in the right directin, as previus research has als indicated that handwriting is essential in children’s brain develpment. Preliterate (未识字的) children wh wrte by hand demnstrated brain activity in a circuit f the brain used in learning t read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cgnitive develpment.(尽管有明显的好处，但手写一直在走下坡路。然而，美国已有25个州将写作重新引入学校课程。这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，因为之前的研究也表明，书写对儿童的大脑发育至关重要。识字之前用手写字的儿童在学习阅读的大脑回路中表现出大脑活动，进一步加强了书写和认知发展之间的联系)”可推断，该段提及从前的研究是为了进一步证实书写的好处。故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段“In an era f digital technlgy, the art f writing by hand has slwly been dwngraded t a past entertainment. Hwever, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential t brain health and develpment, having multiple cgnitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we shuld reevaluate the ptential benefits it may have n ur mental capacities.(在数字技术时代，手写的艺术已经慢慢沦为一种过时的娱乐。然而，最近的研究表明，这种身体活动对大脑的健康和发育至关重要，有多种认知益处。是时候我们应该重新评估它对我们心智能力的潜在好处了)”结合文章论述强调了书写对我们的心智能力的益处，希望读者重视书写。即文章的目的是强调书写的重要性。故选B。
D篇【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了内心宁静与心理健康的关系，指出通过欣赏艺术和在自然中行走等活动，可以使思维静止，带来幸福感和内心和谐，并提出有意识地创造宁静心境可以带来持久的满足感。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段的“But frm time t time, we all experience mments when ur thught-chatter quiets dwn, r even disappears altgether. In these mments, we experience a sense f great well-being. We feel a sense f inner harmny. We feel as if we’re free f prblems, and feel satisfied with ur lives as they are. (但时不时地，我们都会经历这样的时刻：我们的“思想闲聊”安静下来，甚至完全消失。在这些时刻，我们体验到一种巨大的幸福感。我们感受到内心的和谐。我们觉得好像没有问题了，对我们的生活感到满意。)”可知，“思想闲聊”停下来时人们会感到快乐，因此它的发生有时可能会令人不愉快。故选B。
33．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Fr example, think abut what happens when yu-g walking in the cuntryside. Yu might feel stressed when yu start ut, but slwly, after-a cuple f miles, yur mind begins t settle dwn. The beauty and stillness f nature attracts yur attentin and yu’re n lnger in yur thught-chatter. By the end f the walk yu feel almst like a different persn. Yu feel mre alive, and much happier—largely because yur mind is nw quiet. (例如，想想当你在农村散步时会发生什么。刚开始的时候你可能会感到压力，但慢慢地，几英里后，你的头脑开始安定下来。大自然的美丽和宁静吸引了你的注意力，你不再“思想闲聊”。散步结束时，你几乎感觉自己变成了另一个人。你感觉更有活力，也更快乐——主要是因为你的头脑现在很安静。) ”可知，文中提到了在乡村散步和观看艺术作品等活动可以让心灵平静下来，并带来幸福感。因此，提到这些例子主要是为了说明心灵的平静是怎样带来幸福感的。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Our estimate f hw enjyable an activity is may depend n its mind-stpping capacity. In ther wrds, the very best perfrmances—and the mst rewarding activities—are thse which are s attractive and intense that they can cmpletely stp ur minds. (我们对一项活动有多愉快的估计可能取决于它让人停止思考的能力。换句话说，最好的表现和最有回报的活动是那些非常有吸引力和激烈的，它们可以完全停止我们的思想。)”可知，那些可以完全让我们停止思考的活动被认为是非常愉快和有益的，因此，我们对一项活动的享受取决于它在多大程度上能让我们的头脑平静下来。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’m nt saying that inner quietness is the nly reasn why we enjy these activities. Nevertheless, we shuld certainly becme mre aware f the assciatin f a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we shuld be aware that it’s pssible fr us t cnsciusly and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byprduct f certain activities. And in the end we might develp a permanent quiet mind and attain a state f nging cntentment and harmny. (我并不是说内心的平静是我们喜欢这些活动的唯一原因。然而，我们当然应该更加意识到安静的头脑与幸福的联系。同时，我们应该意识到，我们有可能有意识地直接创造一个平静的头脑；而不是作为某些活动的副产品。最终，我们可能会发展出一种永久的平静心态，达到一种持续的满足与和谐的状态。)”可知，作者强调要更多地意识到安静的心灵和幸福之间的联系，要有意识地直接创造一个安静的头脑，潜在地带来持续的满足和和谐，而不仅仅是参与活动。故选A。
