核心考点
试题【English is currently one of the most widely spoken and written languages worldwi】;主要考察你对数词等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Get a great grasp
Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 小题2: Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡). 小题3: Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
小题4: That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.
小题5:
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A.Play games |
B.Ask for more advice |
C.So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”. |
D.You’ve been writing since you were a little kid. |
F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.
The answer depends largely 小题1: cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color 小题2: represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children 小题3: (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect 小题4: against evils(灾祸).
People’s 小题5:(choose) of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them. Green is said to be 小题6: most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally 小题7: physically. People 小题8: (work) in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. And many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that 小题9: (easy) catches a person’s eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. So 小题10: you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
My experience tell me that it is not what you are given but how you make use for it that determines who you are.
A.offer | B.number |
C.supply | D.amount |
A.fierce | B.severe | C.solid | D.potential |
