Mr.Thomas believes that the(46) ___between elder and younger writers is(47) ___too dramatic to be accounted for simply by the possibility that people get better at writing as they grow(48) ___.He attributes it to a failure to teach the most effective methods，pointing out that the differences between(49) ___groups coincides with the abandonment of formal handwriting instruction in classrooms in the sixties.“The 30-year- old showed a huge diversity of grips，(50) ___me over 40s group all had a uniform‘tripod’grip.”
参考译文：
根据一项对于握笔姿势大幅影响考试成绩的调查，那些握笔十分靠近笔尖的学生很可能在考试中处于劣势。
本次调查涉及643人，从学龄前儿童到40多岁的成年人，调查表明握笔技术在一代人的时间里大幅退步，现在的老师已经不像以前那样重视纠正学生的握笔姿势和书写方式了。
斯蒂芬尼?托马斯是一名助教，已经发表了他的`发现，在他注意到那些拼写有困难的学生握笔习惯也不好的时候，受到启发开始调查这一领域。虽然托马斯先生不能在握笔方式和拼写正确性之间建立明确的统计学关联，但是他却发现小孩子和成人之间的握笔技术有很大的差别，而握笔靠近笔尖与缓慢而难以辨认的书写之间存在明确关联。
握笔靠近笔尖的人也显示出了其他的一些妨碍学习的特点，如坐姿很差、太靠近桌子、用4个手指而不是3个手指握笔和大拇指位置放得不对(这会使写的字迹模糊)。
托马斯先生认为，对比老年人和年轻人的书写太过明显不能简单得出人年龄越大字写得越好的说法。他认为这是因为没有教授最有效的方法，并指出不同年龄段的人之间写字的不同恰巧出现在60年代课堂里放弃对写字的指导之后。“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式，而超过40岁的人统一都用3只手指握笔”。
答案及解析：
31.according 【解析】according to意为“根据”，为固定短语，本句句意为“根据对…的严格调查，…。”
32.that 【解析】此空之后的内容为suggests的内容，即此处应填that，引导宾语从句。
33.1ess 【解析】由此空前面的“deteriorated sharply”可知此空应填“更少的”，而不是“更多的”。
34.whose 【解析】此句意为“Stephanie Thomas，一位学习辅导老师，…发现已经发表了…。”由此可知，空处所填单词必为whose，引导定语从句，修饰teacher。
35.after 【解析】此句意为“…他注意到了那些拼写有问题的学生也有一个坏的握笔习惯，他受到鼓舞调查这个领域。”
36.also 【解析】由35题解析，拼写有问题的学生必定握笔习惯不好。
37.between 【解析】此句意为“Thomas先生尽管不能在握笔方式和拼写准确性之间建立重要的统计学联系，…”所以答案为介词between。
38.did 【解析】据38题解析，由于while意为“尽管”，才有后面起强调作用的did，意为“确实”，言下之意有转折之意。
39.1ink 【解析】与37题对应，此处应填link，表明在“near-point gripping”和“slow，illegible wri
