8.On May 3,2002,archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300BC.Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior.There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat.He carried a copper knife on his breast.The most amazing find was two gold earrings.That would have made him a man of distinction.Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay,tools and materials to make arrows,a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second,smaller copper knife.Next to them lay a cushion stone,upon which the man could work metal.
His grave is the richest of any found from that period,because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470BC).Besides,he was buried three miles from Stonehenge.Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was begun around 3000BC.In about 2300BC the huge stone circles were built.The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons.But the smaller blue stones,still weighing 4tons on average,came from west Wales.It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km.It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain.In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.

1.Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?D
A.Tools,a bone pin,a bow and a cushion stone
B.A copper knife and two gold earrings.
C.Two pots,arrows and materials to make arrows.
D.some chicken and grains.

A.A poor man      
B.a kind-hearted man
C.a rich man       
D.an ordinary man
3.Why is the man buried in the grave called the"king of Stonehenge"?D
A.He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.
B.He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.
C.He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.

1.The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past.With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.However,while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching,many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger,professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington,says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand.The study,published in 2009,found that when writing with a pen and paper,participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study,Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write."Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary,word meaning and concepts.It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas."Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then transcribe(转换)"those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,"the study said.Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,says Berninger,but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
"In our computer age,some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,"she said."But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level,they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer."
67.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?C
A.The absence of blackboard in classroom.
B.The lack of practice in handwriting.
C.The use of new technologies in teaching.
D.The popular use of smartphones.
68.Berninger's study published in 2009B.
A.indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
B.focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.
C.found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
D.discussed the importance of writing speed.
69.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?D
A.Spelling improves one's memory of words.
B.Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
C.Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D.Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
70.What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A
A.Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms.
B.Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C.Computers can help people with their choice of words.
D.Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.
