A
How to Get the Best Hotel Deal
Taking the entire family on vacation can add up quickly—flights, rental car, gas, meals, snacks, and of course, hotels. However, by doing some research and using three__little__words,__you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.
First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “a special discount”， don't press the book button on the website just yet.
After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly—not any of the customer service or 1—800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a chain hotel. Then you're going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”， your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate”. According to experts at Travel＋Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.
If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more money than they would get if you booked through one of them.
Just don't wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel＋Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight－day stay.
( )56. What does the underlined part “three little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A special discount. B. The best deal.
C. The lowest rate. D. Cheapest nonrefundable rate.
( )57. According to the passage, the preferred way to get the best hotel deal is to ________.
A. call the target hotels to bargain with the staff
B. collect and compare the prices found online
C. book hotels just before your departure time
D. turn to hotel booking sites for a discount
B
There is a 1930s－old restaurant in my hometown that has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth that sits neglected in the age of the cellphone.
Ah, the phone booth. We need it now more than ever.
For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if the information being shared was not sensitive in any way. It was simply assumed that a phone conversation was meant for two people, and two people only. In public places this meant turning to the phone booth—a private chamber where one could converse in peace without being overheard.
Even at home, phone calls used to be regarded as private. Growing up in the 1960s, we had one phone in the house—fixed to the kitchen wall.
As a kid, I didn't get or make many calls. I do, however, remember answering the phone, asking for the identity of the caller, and then handing the phone to my mom. She'd take it, say “Hello, Mrs. Flaubert，” and then, “one moment please，” as she placed her hand over the receiver, turned to me, and directed, “This is for me. Why don't you go outside and play？”
Flash－forward to what cellphones have done to this idyll. Within the space of very few years, private conversations have become public declaration, and being overheard seems to be the point. A large part of the problem, of course, is that we now carry our phones with us, and the reflex(反射) to answer the device as soon as it rings is a response Pavlov would have appreciated.
But the information is revealed! Not long ago I was sitting in Boston's South Station, waiting for my train. After purchasing a sandwich, I sat down at a table near a man who was on his cellphone.
Let me paraphrase what the man had to say：“Yes, that's right. The red and yellow roses. That will be a Visa.” Then he proceeded to recite his card number and expiration date before signing off.
I stared unbelievably at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked，“What？”
My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along with the expiration date.
There is no more privacy, no longer a sense of personal borders or limits and the cellphone has become a loudspeaker.
To return to phone booths: Why did they disappear? And should you think a phone booth has no value today, I saw one on eBay going for $4，750.
( )58. Why do private conversations turn into public declaration according to the passage?
A. Phone booths have died out in modern life.
B. People lack a sense of personal borders or limits.
C. The content of phone calls is not that sensitive.
D. It is convenient for people to reach for cellphones.
( )59. By describing what happened in Boston's South Station, the author indicates that ________．
A. it's ridiculous to answer cellphones in public places
B. it's impolite to overhear others answering cellphones
C. it's necessary to keep a safe distance from others when answering phones
D. it's inappropriate to touch on personal information in cellphone conversations
( )60. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Pavlov is in favor of answering cellphones instantly.
B. Something seemingly old－fashioned holds its charm today.
C. Phone booths are very popular with consumers on the Internet.
D. People used to lack a sense of trust and security in the 1960s.
C
One day in 1995, a large, heavy middle－aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. “But I wore the juice，” he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “Dunning－Kruger effect”， and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self－assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two－thirds of the other students!
Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester－long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man(1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”
Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self－assess their abilities. As much as D－and F－grade students overestimate their abilities, A－grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self－assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.
( )61. Which of the following statements about the Dunning－Kruger effect is TRUE?
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
( )62. What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove?
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.
( )63. The underlined word “begets” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “________”.
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of C. makes up for D. breaks away from
( )64. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
D
In A History of Reading, the Canadian novelist Alberto Manguel describes a remarkable transformation of human consciousness, which took place around the 10th century A．D.: the arrival of silent reading. Human beings have been reading for thousands of years, but in ancient times, the normal thing was to read aloud. With the arrival of silent reading, Manguel writes，...the reader was at last able to establish an unrestricted relationship with the book and the words. The words no longer needed to occupy the time required to pronounce them. The reader's thoughts inspected them at leisure, drawing new ideas from them, allowing comparisons from memory or from other books.
__①__ To read silently is to free your mind to reflect, to remember, to question and compare. The cognitive scientist Maryanne Wolf calls this freedom “the secret gift of time to think”. A thousand years later, critics fear that digital technology has put this gift in danger. The Internet's flood of information, together with the distractions of social media, threatens to overwhelm the space of reading, leaving us in what the journalist Nicholas Carr has called “the shallows”. In Carr's view, the “endless, tempting buzz” of the Internet endangers our very being: “One of the greatest dangers we face，” he writes, “as we give up control over the flow of our thoughts and memories to a powerful electronic system, is a slow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”
__②__ There's no question that digital technology presents challenges to the reading brain. But seen from a historical perspective, digital reading and silent reading look like differences of degree, rather than of kind. To the extent that digital reading represents something new, its potential cuts both ways. Done badly, the Internet reduces us to mindless clickers, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed; but done well, it has the potential to expand the very contemplative(沉思的) space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips.
__③__ In the fifth century B．C., Socrates worried that writing would weaken human memory, and stifle(扼杀) judgment. In fact, as Wolf notes in her 2007 book Proust and the Squid: the Story and Science of the Reading Brain, the opposite happened: Faced with the written page, the reader's brain develops new capacities.
__④__ The Internet may cause our minds to wander off, and yet a quick look at the history of books suggests that we have been wandering off all along. When we read, the eye does not progress steadily along the line of text; it alternates between saccades—little jumps—and brief stops, not unlike the movement of the mouse's cursor across a screen of hypertext.
It's true that studies have found that readers given text on a screen do worse on recall and comprehension tests than readers given the same text on paper. But a 2015 study by the German educator Johannes Naumann suggests the opposite. He gave a group of high－school students the job of tracking down certain pieces of information on websites; he found that the students who regularly did research online were better at this task than students who used the Internet mostly to send email, chat, and blog.
A new generation of digital writers prefers to include interactive features. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, tells the story of a demolition(爆破) expert returning home from the first Gulf War. The story is told in text, photographs, video clips, and audio. It uses an interface(界面) that allows you to follow the action and shift between levels of awareness. As you read text on the screen, describing characters and plot, you draw your fingers apart and see a photograph of the chief character, his eyes opening on the world. Pinch your fingers shut and you visit his troubled unconscious; words and images race by, as if you are inside his memory. Pry is the opposite of a shallow work; its whole play is between the surface and the depths of the human mind. Reading it is stimulating.
( )65. In Alberto Manguel's opinion, silent reading ________.
A. is an abnormal thing to human consciousness
B. offers readers' mind freedom and time to think
C. strengthens readers' power of memory and reflection
D. allows readers to gain an insight into books and words
( )66. Why is digital technology considered to have endangered our being?
A. It presents challenges to the reading brain.
B. It harms our humanness and humanity gradually.
C. It is very likely to expand our contemplative space.
D. It leaves our thoughts and memories out of control.
( )67. The sentence “The fear of technology is not new.” should be placed in ________.
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
( )68. What can we infer from Johannes Naumann's study?
A. It's easier to collect information on the Internet than in books.
B. People's habit of using the Internet influences their performance.
C. The Internet isn't supposed to be used as a tool of entertainment.
D. Paper reading is better than screen reading in improving comprehension.
( )69. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.
A. introduce the occurrence of a reading revolution
B. show the technology employed in digital reading
C. prove digital reading not shallow but attractive
D. illustrate the impact digital reading has on our life
( )70. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. The deep space of digital reading B. The timely arrival of silent reading
C. The development of traditional reading D. The potential damage of electronic books

While a brute force approach to learning may get the job done, it's not necessarily the best study plan. We dug through scientific research to identify five study methods that are recommended by cognitive scientists. These study tips may improve the efficiency of how you study, helping you to learn more in less time and keep it longer.
Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
Parents and teachers often warn that cramming for exams isn't the best way to get good grades. There's science to back this up. Researchers found that final test results improved when studying was spaced out over time. This spacing effect has been repeatedly studied, and one research experiment found a 36% improvement in grades because of spacing out study sessions. By spacing out study sessions, there's a neural(神经的) process of learning, forgetting a little bit, and re－learning. These cycles are what build stronger memory.
Use Practice Tests
Using practice tests while preparing for exams can help you improve your performance. This learning strategy isn't just about becoming familiar with a testing format; it's about reinforcing the brain's memory.
Remember that re－reading material can refresh your awareness, but it won't help you build the memory recall skills that can help you know the correct answer during your exam. A better way to study is to use flashcards or sample quizzes from your textbook.
Do One Thing at a Time
Research shows that multitasking isn't good for your memory, so when you're studying, that's the only thing you should be doing. Consider your brainpower similar to your Internet bandwidth. Multiple downloads at the time will slow things down. Similarly, multitasking causes an increased cognitive load for your brain, reducing your ability to pay attention to what you're learning.
In fact, researchers found that even minimal multitasking has an effect. Something as simple as walking around a track while learning vocabulary words caused a 17% reduction in test scores.
Add Variety
While it's a good idea to only study for one subject at a time, scientists found that alternating between subtopics could dramatically improve memory.
This process, known as interleaving, means that you'll cycle through about three subtopics, learning a little bit more about each during each cycle. Once you've fully studied this set and have an understanding of the material, you can move on to the next set and repeat the pattern.
Teach a Friend
It's long been said that the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. Known as the “protégé effect”， this learning theory dates back to ancient Rome.
The reason the study technique has lasted so long is that it's effective. Researchers found that even explaining class material to yourself could result in three times better test scores than those of other students, putting you well ahead.

请阅读下面文字和图表，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Chinese tourism industry is relatively young but very attractive. With 288 billion dollars spent worldwide in 2018, Chinese tourists' spending represents a quarter of global tourism spending.
Nowadays travelling is easier than some years ago and visiting a foreign country is as common as moving in China. For this reason when Chinese tourists plan their holiday, they often have the dilemma whether it is better to move abroad or to stay in China.
China has the largest outbound(出境的) tourism market. Indeed, more than 71 million Chinese tourists travelled abroad in 2018, 15 percent more than the previous year. This phenomenon is due to different factors, the first one being rising incomes. The middle－class has the means to travel outside China. The second one is an increase in online information with a content of quality. Word of mouth and recommendations from friends are the most favored source of information of Chinese tourists. The third factor would be friendlier visa policies from foreign governments.
【写作内容】 1. 用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容。2. 结合上述信息，用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：(1) 你对 “境外旅游热”持什么观点？说明你的理由(至少两点)；(2) 若你所在城市正大力推广本地旅游业，你认为应该采取哪些促进措施？
【写作要求】 1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句。2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。3. 不必写标题。
【评分标准】 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。

With our living standards improving, people have a preference for travelling abroad. However, I will undoubtedly choose to travel domestically. First of all, there may be language barriers even if you have learned a second language, and cultural impacts are very likely to ruin your vacation. Second, travelling abroad takes more time. You have to undergo certain processes to get a visa and spend longer hours travelling from place to place.
As an advocate for travelling domestically, I have some practical suggestions for the local government, which is determined to improve local tourism. Convenient transport is of primary importance as well as local infrastructure. Our local government should concentrate its efforts on bringing out our uniqueness rather than developing tourism aimlessly.
Possible version 2：
According to the passage and diagram, rising income, abundant online travel information and friendlier visa policies have really boosted Chinese tourism industry in a totally convincing way, especially outbound trips.
As our living standards are improving, it is possible to visit more countries to broaden our horizons. I think Chinese people travel abroad to see a new country and experience a different culture. Meanwhile, it is also a journey during which we can exhibit Chinese image and soft power to our foreign friends, which can promote mutual understanding as well as improving our language abilities.
If our local government is determined to improve local tourism, I believe it can follow the footsteps of some major cities around the world and take action now. Convenient transport is of primary importance as well as local infrastructure. Our local government should concentrate its efforts on bringing out our uniqueness rather than developing tourism aimlessly.

M: I was thinking about my mother. She's been ill in bed. I was worrying about her, so I didn't notice where I had stopped.

M: I see. And is the room quiet?
W: Oh, yes. It's at the back of the house. It looks onto the garden and it faces south, so it's bright and sunny, too. It's very attractive, really. And it's just under the roof, so it's got a low ceiling. Would you like to come and see it? I'll be in for the rest of the day.
M: Yes, I'm very interested. It sounds like just the kind of room I'm looking for. Can you tell me how to get there?
W: Oh, it's very easy. The house is only a five－minute walk from the Finchley Road subway station. Turn right outside the station, and then it's the third street on the left. It's got the number on the gate. You can't miss it.

How to Get the Best Hotel Deal
Taking the entire family on vacation can add up quickly—flights, rental car, gas, meals, snacks, and of course, hotels. However, by doing some research and using three__little__words,__you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.
First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “a special discount”， don't press the book button on the website just yet.
After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly—not any of the customer service or 1—800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a chain hotel. Then you're going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”， your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate”. According to experts at Travel＋Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.
If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more money than they would get if you booked through one of them.
Just don't wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel＋Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight－day stay.
( )56. What does the underlined part “three little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A special discount. B. The best deal.
C. The lowest rate. D. Cheapest nonrefundable rate.
( )57. According to the passage, the preferred way to get the best hotel deal is to ________.
A. call the target hotels to bargain with the staff
B. collect and compare the prices found online
C. book hotels just before your departure time
D. turn to hotel booking sites for a discount
B
There is a 1930s－old restaurant in my hometown that has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth that sits neglected in the age of the cellphone.
Ah, the phone booth. We need it now more than ever.
For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if the information being shared was not sensitive in any way. It was simply assumed that a phone conversation was meant for two people, and two people only. In public places this meant turning to the phone booth—a private chamber where one could converse in peace without being overheard.
Even at home, phone calls used to be regarded as private. Growing up in the 1960s, we had one phone in the house—fixed to the kitchen wall.
As a kid, I didn't get or make many calls. I do, however, remember answering the phone, asking for the identity of the caller, and then handing the phone to my mom. She'd take it, say “Hello, Mrs. Flaubert，” and then, “one moment please，” as she placed her hand over the receiver, turned to me, and directed, “This is for me. Why don't you go outside and play？”
Flash－forward to what cellphones have done to this idyll. Within the space of very few years, private conversations have become public declaration, and being overheard seems to be the point. A large part of the problem, of course, is that we now carry our phones with us, and the reflex(反射) to answer the device as soon as it rings is a response Pavlov would have appreciated.
But the information is revealed! Not long ago I was sitting in Boston's South Station, waiting for my train. After purchasing a sandwich, I sat down at a table near a man who was on his cellphone.
Let me paraphrase what the man had to say：“Yes, that's right. The red and yellow roses. That will be a Visa.” Then he proceeded to recite his card number and expiration date before signing off.
I stared unbelievably at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked，“What？”
My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along with the expiration date.
There is no more privacy, no longer a sense of personal borders or limits and the cellphone has become a loudspeaker.
To return to phone booths: Why did they disappear? And should you think a phone booth has no value today, I saw one on eBay going for $4，750.
( )58. Why do private conversations turn into public declaration according to the passage?
A. Phone booths have died out in modern life.
B. People lack a sense of personal borders or limits.
C. The content of phone calls is not that sensitive.
D. It is convenient for people to reach for cellphones.
( )59. By describing what happened in Boston's South Station, the author indicates that ________．
A. it's ridiculous to answer cellphones in public places
B. it's impolite to overhear others answering cellphones
C. it's necessary to keep a safe distance from others when answering phones
D. it's inappropriate to touch on personal information in cellphone conversations
( )60. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Pavlov is in favor of answering cellphones instantly.
B. Something seemingly old－fashioned holds its charm today.
C. Phone booths are very popular with consumers on the Internet.
D. People used to lack a sense of trust and security in the 1960s.
C
One day in 1995, a large, heavy middle－aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. “But I wore the juice，” he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “Dunning－Kruger effect”， and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self－assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two－thirds of the other students!
Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester－long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man(1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”
Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self－assess their abilities. As much as D－and F－grade students overestimate their abilities, A－grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self－assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.
( )61. Which of the following statements about the Dunning－Kruger effect is TRUE?
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
( )62. What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove?
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.
( )63. The underlined word “begets” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “________”.
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of C. makes up for D. breaks away from
( )64. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
D
In A History of Reading, the Canadian novelist Alberto Manguel describes a remarkable transformation of human consciousness, which took place around the 10th century A．D.: the arrival of silent reading. Human beings have been reading for thousands of years, but in ancient times, the normal thing was to read aloud. With the arrival of silent reading, Manguel writes，...the reader was at last able to establish an unrestricted relationship with the book and the words. The words no longer needed to occupy the time required to pronounce them. The reader's thoughts inspected them at leisure, drawing new ideas from them, allowing comparisons from memory or from other books.
__①__ To read silently is to free your mind to reflect, to remember, to question and compare. The cognitive scientist Maryanne Wolf calls this freedom “the secret gift of time to think”. A thousand years later, critics fear that digital technology has put this gift in danger. The Internet's flood of information, together with the distractions of social media, threatens to overwhelm the space of reading, leaving us in what the journalist Nicholas Carr has called “the shallows”. In Carr's view, the “endless, tempting buzz” of the Internet endangers our very being: “One of the greatest dangers we face，” he writes, “as we give up control over the flow of our thoughts and memories to a powerful electronic system, is a slow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”
__②__ There's no question that digital technology presents challenges to the reading brain. But seen from a historical perspective, digital reading and silent reading look like differences of degree, rather than of kind. To the extent that digital reading represents something new, its potential cuts both ways. Done badly, the Internet reduces us to mindless clickers, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed; but done well, it has the potential to expand the very contemplative(沉思的) space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips.
__③__ In the fifth century B．C., Socrates worried that writing would weaken human memory, and stifle(扼杀) judgment. In fact, as Wolf notes in her 2007 book Proust and the Squid: the Story and Science of the Reading Brain, the opposite happened: Faced with the written page, the reader's brain develops new capacities.
__④__ The Internet may cause our minds to wander off, and yet a quick look at the history of books suggests that we have been wandering off all along. When we read, the eye does not progress steadily along the line of text; it alternates between saccades—little jumps—and brief stops, not unlike the movement of the mouse's cursor across a screen of hypertext.
It's true that studies have found that readers given text on a screen do worse on recall and comprehension tests than readers given the same text on paper. But a 2015 study by the German educator Johannes Naumann suggests the opposite. He gave a group of high－school students the job of tracking down certain pieces of information on websites; he found that the students who regularly did research online were better at this task than students who used the Internet mostly to send email, chat, and blog.
A new generation of digital writers prefers to include interactive features. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, tells the story of a demolition(爆破) expert returning home from the first Gulf War. The story is told in text, photographs, video clips, and audio. It uses an interface(界面) that allows you to follow the action and shift between levels of awareness. As you read text on the screen, describing characters and plot, you draw your fingers apart and see a photograph of the chief character, his eyes opening on the world. Pinch your fingers shut and you visit his troubled unconscious; words and images race by, as if you are inside his memory. Pry is the opposite of a shallow work; its whole play is between the surface and the depths of the human mind. Reading it is stimulating.
( )65. In Alberto Manguel's opinion, silent reading ________.
A. is an abnormal thing to human consciousness
B. offers readers' mind freedom and time to think
C. strengthens readers' power of memory and reflection
D. allows readers to gain an insight into books and words
( )66. Why is digital technology considered to have endangered our being?
A. It presents challenges to the reading brain.
B. It harms our humanness and humanity gradually.
C. It is very likely to expand our contemplative space.
D. It leaves our thoughts and memories out of control.

While a brute force approach to learning may get the job done, it's not necessarily the best study plan. We dug through scientific research to identify five study methods that are recommended by cognitive scientists. These study tips may improve the efficiency of how you study, helping you to learn more in less time and keep it longer.
Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
Parents and teachers often warn that cramming for exams isn't the best way to get good grades. There's science to back this up. Researchers found that final test results improved when studying was spaced out over time. This spacing effect has been repeatedly studied, and one research experiment found a 36% improvement in grades because of spacing out study sessions. By spacing out study sessions, there's a neural(神经的) process of learning, forgetting a little bit, and re－learning. These cycles are what build stronger memory.
Use Practice Tests
Using practice tests while preparing for exams can help you improve your performance. This learning strategy isn't just about becoming familiar with a testing format; it's about reinforcing the brain's memory.
Remember that re－reading material can refresh your awareness, but it won't help you build the memory recall skills that can help you know the correct answer during your exam. A better way to study is to use flashcards or sample quizzes from your textbook.
Do One Thing at a Time
Research shows that multitasking isn't good for your memory, so when you're studying, that's the only thing you should be doing. Consider your brainpower similar to your Internet bandwidth. Multiple downloads at the time will slow things down. Similarly, multitasking causes an increased cognitive load for your brain, reducing your ability to pay attention to what you're learning.
In fact, researchers found that even minimal multitasking has an effect. Something as simple as walking around a track while learning vocabulary words caused a 17% reduction in test scores.
Add Variety
While it's a good idea to only study for one subject at a time, scientists found that alternating between subtopics could dramatically improve memory.
This process, known as interleaving, means that you'll cycle through about three subtopics, learning a little bit more about each during each cycle. Once you've fully studied this set and have an understanding of the material, you can move on to the next set and repeat the pattern.
Teach a Friend
It's long been said that the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. Known as the “protégé effect”， this learning theory dates back to ancient Rome.
The reason the study technique has lasted so long is that it's effective. Researchers found that even explaining class material to yourself could result in three times better test scores than those of other students, putting you well ahead.

请阅读下面文字和图表，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Chinese tourism industry is relatively young but very attractive. With 288 billion dollars spent worldwide in 2018, Chinese tourists' spending represents a quarter of global tourism spending.
Nowadays travelling is easier than some years ago and visiting a foreign country is as common as moving in China. For this reason when Chinese tourists plan their holiday, they often have the dilemma whether it is better to move abroad or to stay in China.
China has the largest outbound(出境的) tourism market. Indeed, more than 71 million Chinese tourists travelled abroad in 2018, 15 percent more than the previous year. This phenomenon is due to different factors, the first one being rising incomes. The middle－class has the means to travel outside China. The second one is an increase in online information with a content of quality. Word of mouth and recommendations from friends are the most favored source of information of Chinese tourists. The third factor would be friendlier visa policies from foreign governments.
【写作内容】 1. 用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容。2. 结合上述信息，用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：(1) 你对 “境外旅游热”持什么观点？说明你的理由(至少两点)；(2) 若你所在城市正大力推广本地旅游业，你认为应该采取哪些促进措施？
【写作要求】 1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句。2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。3. 不必写标题。
【评分标准】 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。

Possible version 1：
According to the passage and diagram, rising income, abundant online travel information and friendlier visa policies have really boosted Chinese tourism industry in a totally convincing way, especially outbound trips.
With our living standards improving, people have a preference for travelling abroad. However, I will undoubtedly choose to travel domestically. First of all, there may be language barriers even if you have learned a second language, and cultural impacts are very likely to ruin your vacation. Second, travelling abroad takes more time. You have to undergo certain processes to get a visa and spend longer hours travelling from place to place.
As an advocate for travelling domestically, I have some practical suggestions for the local government, which is determined to improve local tourism. Convenient transport is of primary importance as well as local infrastructure. Our local government should concentrate its efforts on bringing out our uniqueness rather than developing tourism aimlessly.
Possible version 2：
According to the passage and diagram, rising income, abundant online travel information and friendlier visa policies have really boosted Chinese tourism industry in a totally convincing way, especially outbound trips.
As our living standards are improving, it is possible to visit more countries to broaden our horizons. I think Chinese people travel abroad to see a new country and experience a different culture. Meanwhile, it is also a journey during which we can exhibit Chinese image and soft power to our foreign friends, which can promote mutual understanding as well as improving our language abilities.
If our local government is determined to improve local tourism, I believe it can follow the footsteps of some major cities around the world and take action now. Convenient transport is of primary importance as well as local infrastructure. Our local government should concentrate its efforts on bringing out our uniqueness rather than developing tourism aimlessly.
