Question

【題目】Drawing might help you think

When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks?

If so, your teacher might have told you 【1】(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鴉) as a distraction(精神渙散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group 【2】 (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.

Other people 【3】 (suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw

might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you 【4】 (have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown 【5】 (write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling

as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies

improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown 【6】 (believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of learning. You lean in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn.

And when you doodle while you 【7】 (listen )to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at 【8】 ( draw)is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

【1】to stop

【5】wrote

【6】believes

【8】drawing

【解析】

本文介紹了涂鴉的作用。有人認為涂鴉會使人精神渙散，但另一部分人認為涂鴉會使人有創(chuàng)造性。教授Jesse Prinz在實驗中證明了涂鴉的作用。Sunni Brown也寫了一本關(guān)于涂鴉的書。在書中也介紹了涂鴉的益處。

【1】句意：如果是這樣，你的老師可能會叫你停下來。tell sb. to do sth. 告訴某人去做某事。故答案為to stop。

【2】句意：一組被鼓勵涂鴉，而另一組則不允許涂鴉。因為這個實驗是在2009年做的，因此用過去時，根據(jù)句意可知One group做主語時，謂語用被動。因此本題為過去時的被動句。結(jié)構(gòu)為was/were +動詞的過去分詞。又因為主語One group為單數(shù)，故答案為was encouraged。

【3】句意：其他人也建議了涂鴉的其他用途。根據(jù)下文的句子研究涂鴉的教授Jesse Prinz說它可以幫助你創(chuàng)造性地思考。這說明了涂鴉的別的好處，是已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情。因此本題用現(xiàn)在完成時。結(jié)構(gòu)為has/have+動詞的過去分詞。因為主語Other people為復數(shù)。故答案為have suggested。

【4】句意：當你回來的時候，你會有一個全新的視角，更快地找到答案。因為When you come back,是一般現(xiàn)在時，那么主句用一般將來時。故答案為will have。

【5】句意：兩年前，一位名叫Sunni Brown的作家寫了一本關(guān)于涂鴉的書。因為是兩年前寫的書，所以時態(tài)用過去時。故答案為wrote。

【6】句意：布朗認為涂鴉很有幫助，因為它包含了多種學習方式。由從句的謂語is可知，主句為一般現(xiàn)在時。Brown做主語，謂語用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。因此答案為believes。

【7】句意：當你邊聽講座邊涂鴉時，這四個動作你會同時用到。我們知道由while引導的句子用現(xiàn)在進行時。其構(gòu)成為am / is / are + doing，主語是you，故答案為are listening。

【8】句意：你可能認為擅長畫畫對涂鴉很重要。因為be good at為介詞短語，所以后面用動名詞。因此答案為drawing。
