In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstormswept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his s kis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water froma nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could- he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter,he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two daysstuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He hadoften watched Grylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life, In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.5. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A. He got lost.B. He broke his skis.C. He hurt his eyesD. He caught a cold6. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A. He found a shelter.B. He lighted some branches.C. He kept on skiing.D. He built a snow cave.7. On Tuesday, Nicholas _____.A. returned to his shelter safelyB. was saved by a searcherC. got stuck in the snowD. stayed where he was8. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he _____.A. did the right things in the dangerous situationB. watched Grylls’ TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD. was very hard-workingCBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called p hytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colourvaries from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. ” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”9. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.10. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Sensitive.B. Beneficial.C. Significant.D. Unnoticeable.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.12. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D"I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better. ”Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York CityThey’re neither medical workers in close contact with the novel coronavirus nor government officials who receive the latest updates of the situation – yet they’re keeping us informed of the development of the epidemic. They are the media, and their eyes are far-seeing.Zhu Xingxin is one such member of the media: a photographer with China Daily. He visited Tongji Hospital affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan on Feb 3 to report on the lives of medical workers.Before entering the isolation ward (隔离病房), Zhu had to put on protective gear (装备) like the doctors: a protective suit, a surgical mask, goggles (护目镜), disposable (一次性的) gloves and shoe covers. He described it as “stuffy (闷热的)” with all the layers on. “I felt anoxic (缺氧的) under the masks,” he wrote on China Daily. “So I lowered my voice and slowed down my motions, trying to make myself feel better.”The eyes of the media are not just here to see, but also to scrutinize.On Feb 9, for example, a bus in Wuhan carrying severely ill patients was caught in traffic with no one guiding them and no hospitals claiming them. The incident was witnessed by Global Times journalists and was soon reported online. It ended with all the patients being properly settled i n hospitals and officials in charge being held responsible. But it’s possible that without journalists this incident would never have been exposed.Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York City, is also aware of the media’s role as a watchdog (监督者). She wrote a story last month about a group of Wuhan University alumni (校友) in New York City who donated medical equipment to hospitals in Wuhan. She was impressed by how they managed tocollect such a large amount of supplies and build an international shipping pathway in such a short time. Yet she was also disturbed by how all the complex (繁复的) paperwork and bureaucratic (官僚主义的) procedures added to their already heavy workload.“I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better,” said Li.Indeed, the media is like a pair of eyes watching out for us as they report on the world’s most important news.（选自Reuters）13. By describing Zhu Xingxin’s experience in Wuhan, the author intends to show _______.A. what journalists should pay attention to while workingB. how medical workers fight against the virusC. the efforts journalists make to report on the frontlineD. the importance of the media in fighting the epidemic14. What happened after Global Times journalists reported what they had witnessed on Feb 9?A. All the patients received proper treatment.B. The officials apologized for what had happened.C. The journalists were warned by the officials.D. The patients received donations from overseas.15. How does Li Xueqing hope to improve the alumni’s donation process?A. Making shipping methods more convenient.B. Simplifying paperwork and procedures.C. Creating more professional quality tests.D. Reducing the heavy workloads of medical workers fighting the virus.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河南省南阳市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二下学期第二次月考（6月）英语试题一、阅读理解Pedal Street by BreezeReviewer Anna Martino, age 13Breeze has released Pedal Street after a two-year wait, in spite of pressure from fans and the record company. Fans had been told to expect something special and this is a masterpiece. This band’s music is exceptional.The song lyrics (歌词) express emotions that are felt by everybody, focusing on topics other artists seem to prefer not to sing about. Breeze uses an interesting mix of styles including classical strings (弦乐器) and modern guitar riffs (重复段).Thrill by SkydiggersReviewer Alexis Walker, age 14Skydiggers, a Canadian rock group, have released the album (专辑) Thrill, which was recorded over two years. Although some tunes (曲调) are difficult to tell apart from each other in the sense that Suzi Tarrant’s voice doesn’t vary from song to song, the album will soon be permanently fixed on your playlist.Silver Honeybees by Lena and the LantanasReviewer Sam Roberts, age 16Lena has been allowed to sing all types of songs here in order to really show what she can do. And in case you think that her new far-ranging style may not be attractive to a youthful teenage fan base, remember that her teen audience is sure to grow along with her as she makes more music. While some bands include good beats but have meaningless lyrics that make you feel slightly sick, or sing songs with meaningful words yet make a terrible sound, the Lantanas are different and a rare find.Hungry Rock by April SapaReviewer Julie Zhang, age 14The album covers everything a teenager can feel: love, hate, acceptance and even boredom. It is an excellent combination of easy listening, even though there are several songs that couldeasily have been left out, resulting in a better album overall.1．What can we learn about Pedal Street?A．It was a let-down for fans.B．It is emotional and unusual.C．It was prepared in a short time.D．It mainly consists of rock music.2．What does Roberts say about Silver Honeybees?A．It attracts people of all ages.B．It makes you feel heartbroken.C．It covers several types of music.D．It has both good words and sounds.3．What type of writing is this text?A．Reports.B．Music reviews.C．Advertisements.D．Eventannouncements.For the past 13 years, Martin Burrows has been working as a long-distance truck driver. Spending up to five nights a week on the road can be a lonely business, leaving him with plenty of time to notice his surroundings. “I kept seeing more rubbish everywhere and it was getting on my nerves. I decided I had to do something about it,” he says. One day, he stopped his vehicle, took out a trash bag and started picking up the garbage. The satisfaction after clearing a small area was remarkable.Before his time on the road, Burrows spent over two decades in the military as a vehicle driver. His service saw him stationed throughout Europe and also on tours in Afghanistan. After returning to civilian life, he was diagnosed with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) and had a mental health crisis in 2017. His involvement in fundraising for Help for Heroes led him to meet a man who used model-building as a distraction from PTSD．Burrows realized that his act of roadside cleanup had a similar calming effect on his mental well-being.By 2019, Burrows had begun using his free time on the road to regularly clean up garbage.A passerby encouraged him to set up a Facebook group, which he called Truckers Cleaning Up Britain. “I was worried I’d be the laughing stock of my town for putting videos and photos up of me cleaning but people started to join,” he says. “I was amazed. The local council stepped in and gave me litter-picking supplies and we’re up to almost 3,000 members now.”Since truckers are so often on the move, the Facebook page acts as a means of raising awareness rather than a platform for organizing cleanups. Burrows expressed his intention to continue the cleanup efforts as long as his physical condition allowed, as he still found joy in the process.4．What initially caused Burrows to pick up roadside garbage?A．He wanted to kill time by picking up litter.B．He aimed to raise fund for soldiers with PTSD．C．He felt annoyed to see the increasing rubbish.D．He received the assignment from his employer.5．How did collecting roadside garbage affect Burrows’ PTSD?A．It resulted in his embarrassment.B．It increased his sense of isolation.C．It worsened his stress and anxiety.D．It brought him comfort and relief. 6．What concerned Burrows when he started Truckers Cleaning Up Britain?A．He feared being teased for his action.B．He was lacking in advanced cleanup tools.C．He was unsure about the group’s development.D．He worried about the local council’s disapproval.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Joyful Volunteer Experience B．A Trucker’s Cleanup InitiativeC．A Fighting Hero against PTSD D．A Platform for EnvironmentalistsA wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb (蜂巢) seems to somehow learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers (觅食者) who live near them.This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. “That’s the signal to the Hadza to really start searching,” says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk.It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country.This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. “This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there’s a learning process involved,” says Wood.But how do the birds learn? It’s still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers get the honey—which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds.8．What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Para.2mean?A．Eye-catching.B．Care-free.C．Naughty.D．Attractive. 9．What can we know about the birds?A．They are raised by humans.B．They help cut open the tree trunk.C．They feed on honey as their annual diet.D．They can distinguish different whistles. 10．Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering?A．A complex dilemma.B．An unfair trade.C．A double-edged sword.D．A win-win cooperation.11．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．The familiar signal in the forest.B．A talented expert in hunting the bees.C．A wonderful guide to collecting honey.D．The human-animal communication in Tanzania.As people hold different views on almost anything, we live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others, yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling youwhat a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.So what is the possible solution to criticism?If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic(习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.12．What may the author think of people who prefer to judge others?A．Warm-hearted.B．Self-centered.C．Talkative.D．Responsible. 13．What does a person probably convey by saying “OK” according to paragraph 3?A．He thinks the suggestions are helpful.B．He defenses himself with the response.C．He agrees with the comments completely.D．He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.14．What is the key to making an objective observer according to paragraph 4?A．Having debates.B．Accepting criticism.C．Keeping calm.D．Avoiding criticizers.15．What is the purpose of the text?A．To make a judgment on others.B．To explain some social behavior.C．To call for action against attack.D．To give advice on facing criticism.The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology (方法论) that redefines how you approach your life and work. It relies on the idea that you need to simplify your workload. If you frequently feel overwhelmed or you just have too much going on, this method might be great for you. 16 However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components:17 Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future.Clarify what you have written down. Look at each task and identify the steps you can take to complete it. Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps. 18 Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead.Organize by creating a to-do list, putting action items on your calendar, assigning smaller tasks, filing away reference materials to create a timely, structured approach to getting it done.Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis. 19 Try using an “after-action review” to comprehensively go over what you’ve done and what you need to work on or stick with as you move forward.Engage by tackling your action items knowingly and actively. You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself. 20A little stress can push you to be more productive, but too much will have the opposite effect, so using the GTD method can really make you calm and confident.A．Seize whatever is coming into your head.B．Note down the main concerns in your daily life.C．Sometimes you may feel it tough to work out the plan.D．Then you have all in place and work toward goal completion gradually.E．The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book.F．This could mean every Monday, you check it, update or revise something.G．You may find that there are no actionable steps associated with some task.二、完形填空I was angry with my sixteen-year-old son Anthony, and stormed out of the house. Standing on the front porch (门廊), I 21 deeply. I saw my elderly neighbor, Clara, working in her garden. Seeking 22 , I walked across the street.“Anthony again?” Clara asked. “It’s his hair again,” I replied. “Have you seen him? All that mass of messy curls 23 over his shoulders! But just mention a haircut, and he gets that same 24 look in his eyes I’ve seen a million times before.”Clara smiled, “It’s only hair, Liz.” She spoke slowly, 25 each word, “It’s … only… hair!” Then her smile disappeared, and her expression became 26 . “I learned years ago when my husband died, leaving me three young kids. I had to put everything in perspective if I were to 27 . I learned how to say, ‘But it’s only…’ But it’s only a bad day. Tomorrow will be better.” She nodded her head firmly. “You 28 it, don’t you, honey? Everybody has enough 29 in their lives without wasting 30 on the ‘it’s only ’ things that come their way.”After returning to my house, I baked some cookies, and carried them to Anthony’s room. “Can I come in, honey?” “Not if you’re going to 31 about my hair again.” I pushed the door open and held out the cookies. “Not one word. I 32 .” He stared at the plate of cookies greedily, but there was still a glint of 33 in his eyes. “Not one word about my hair?” He looked at me challengingly.“It’s only hair,” I said. “It’s your hair. Not mine.” Anthony smiled broadly, saying, “Thanks for 34 understanding me, Mom. And thanks for the cookies.” Now I’ve learned to let go of the “it’s only” 35 , and Anthony is more willing to listen to me.21．A．dug B．drank C．sighed D．reflected 22．A．acceptance B．sympathy C．company D．relaxation 23．A．fixing up B．showing off C．flying around D．hanging down 24．A．disapproving B．puzzled C．loving D．hungry 25．A．analyzing B．recalling C．emphasizing D．polishing 26．A．awful B．serious C．funny D．acceptable 27．A．return B．succeed C．persist D．survive28．A．take B．make C．get D．believe 29．A．power B．trouble C．work D．support 30．A．mess B．freedom C．space D．energy 31．A．complain B．bring C．lie D．joke 32．A．doubt B．pretend C．promise D．protest 33．A．annoyance B．suspicion C．competence D．rebellion 34．A．finally B．instantly C．accurately D．completely 35．A．principles B．approaches C．situations D．regulations三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AIn Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare student for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.Short daysMost high schools in Germany begin at about 8: 00 a.m. and end at about 3: 30 p. m. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private(私人的) clubs after school.Formal settingIn Germany，teachers and students＇relationship is more formal than you might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal “Sie(德语您)” when talking to teachers.Getting to schoolMost students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle.

She said, "My dear, I can forget the fac t that you cheated, but you shouldn’t. Remember it’s not all about losing weight but about your whole life. If you want to achieve something, take it seriously and persist(坚持) no matter what happens.Since then, we have been out running each morning, and we do some yoga in the evening. We sing and laugh while running along the empty roads. Day by day, I am feeling better. Exercise is helping to strengthen my body and refresh my spirits. At the same time, my mom and I cook different dishes together. Isn’t it amazing that I’m making such tasty-looking foods myself?

Dogshave lived with humans longer than cats, and dogs have been trained to do what people want them to do.As cat owners know well，cats do not follow humans in the same way dogs do. As a result，many people have come to think that maybe cats do not understand human language. A report shows that cats understand human language well enough to recognize their own names. The report tells a series of experiments with house cats in Japan. In these tests, people said four words that were similar to cats’ names，and each word had the same number of syllables(音节) and some of the same sounds.The cats seemed to lose interest after the speaker said a few of the words. Then the person said the cats’ names. The cats moved their ears when they heard names. The cats moved their ears when they heard their names. They also moved their feet.In another part of the experiment, Japanese researchers went to a cat cafe, a business where humans can come to spend time with cats. They compared house cats to cats that live at the cat cafe. People said the names of the cats staying in the cat cafe. These house cats reacted (反应) as much to the names of the cats living at the cat cafe just as to their own names. The researchers thought this was because visitors may give food to the cats when they reacted.The researchers hope that the findings from their study will help both cats and people.

But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, it's not a problem. Once he spo ts Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby. That’s because Toro isn’t an ordinary member of the herd. He's a giraffe. In hot weather, cattle rest in the shade under his belly. And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions. Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk. About two days later, some herders spotted and rescued him. With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass.Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd. Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配). Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull, But Toro never tries to be ''the boss. ''He is very used to their company, '' Andrew said. When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other. ''But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess, '' said Andrew.When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no. ''In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者),'' he added. ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle.''21. What was Toro like when the herders found him?A. He was left alone.B. He was seriously ill.C. He was lost in the bush.D. He was fighting with lions.22. What do we know about Toro in the cattle herd?A. He has fought to be the leader.B. He gets along well with the herd.C. He is pushed around by the bulls.D. He stays away from the herd most of the time23. What will happen to Toro according to Munetsi?A. He will be sent back to the wild.B. He will be put into another herd of giraffes.C. He will continue to live together with Andrew.D. He will be trained to fight with the big animals.24. What may be the best title for the text?A. Giraffes under threat in the wildB. A surprising new family for a giraffeC. A new way of herding appearing in AfricaD. Moments showing friendship between animalsBWhen Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her land a good job.She has just completed the hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level fornon-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national colleg e entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa-after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.And many English-speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the internatio nal community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.Indeed, it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it, “if you talk to a man in a lang uage he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”25. What did Wanjiku do after graduating from university?A. She went abroad.B. She learned Chinese.C. She found a job.D. She travelled to China.26. HSK is a test for ______.A. non-native speakersB. native speakersC. middle school studentsD. college students27. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Wangjiku has lots of friends.B. Lots of people want to pass HSK6 exam.C. Wangjiku has passed HSK3 exam.D. Many people want to live in China.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Chinese Language Study Takes OffB. Chinese Play an Important Role in EconomyC.People Share the Experience of Learning ChineseD. Different Opinions about the Function of Chinese C Australia and New Zealand’s health organizations have given their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜),suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid bad health effects.A Sunscreen Summit took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health organizations examined the evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.“Up until now, public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven t recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine (惯例),” professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage causes skin cancer and melanoma(黑色素瘤), which is caused by repeated small exposure to sunlight over a period of time,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from everyday activities such as alking to the bus stop or train station,” Neale said.A study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day. However, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says it is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evidence that sunscreens are safe,” Slevin said. “Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin d as those w ho don’t,” Slevin added.Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world which is made worse by the country’s close to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher numbers of UV rays.29. What made Australian health organizations advise Australians to use sunscreen?A. The makers of sunscreen.B. Australian government.C.The Sunscreen Summit.D. New Zealand’s researchers.30. What is not recommended before the Sunscreen Summit? A. Using sunscreen before outdoor activities. B. Using sunscreen as a morning routine. C. Reducing the use of sunscreen. D. Reducing outdoor activities.31. What is the misunderstanding of many Australians?A. People using sunscreen won’t have skin cancer.B.Sunscreen will never take effect.C. People using sunscreen have the same levels of vitaminD. D. Sunscreen is bad for people’s health.32. Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in paragraph 4?A.Interesting. B. Disappointing. C. Boring. D. Convincing. D Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the world. This is becausegreenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer.Now, a team of researchers has announced a successful experiment that turned carbon dioxide into useful liquid fuel. The researchers created a device, called a reactor, which changes bon dioxide into a pure form of formic acid(甲酸). Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants. It is used as an antibacterial material and in the processing of some kinds of clothing.Haotian Wang led the research team. He said in a statement that the results of the experiment were important because formic acid is a major carrier of energy. So, the substance can provide a way to reuse carbon dioxide and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. “It’s a fuel-cell fuel that can generate electricity and send out carbon dioxide which you can grab and recycle again,” Wang said.“Other methods for turning carbon dioxide into formic acid require intense purification processes,” Wang said. Such methods are very costly and require a lot of energy. The Rice University team said it was able to reduce the number of steps in the traditional process to create a low-cost, energy-saving method.The researchers reported the reactor device performed with a conversion rate (转化率) of 42 percent. This means that nearly half of the electrical energy can be stored in formic acid as liquid fuel. The team said the reactor was able to create formic acid continuously for 100 hours with little degradation (退化) of the device’s parts.Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based fuels. The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places.33. What factor is the main cause of climate change?A. Greenhouse gases.B. Chemistry waste.C. Formic acid.D. Liquid fuel.34. What do we know about formic acid?A. It is a large amount of power.B. It can be found in ants.C. It is high- value equipment.D. It is a substance in clothing.35. What is Wang’s attitude towards his own research?A. Doubtful.B. Aggressive.C. Optimistic.D. Uncaring.36. In what magazine can you read this text?A. A travel magazine.B. A sports magazine.C. A music magazine.D. A science magazine.EThe 2016 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.But sometimes our desire for gold medals can result in the sadness of failure. When Liu Xiang, China’s track hero, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics due to injury, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier Chinese attitude towards the sports people, fully in line with the Olympic spirit.China didn’t win any gold medals o n the first day. But, instead of criticizing(批评) the athletes who failed to win, most of the fans were happy with their efforts. “Looking at the results in the right way when an athlete misses out on gold shows the maturity(成熟) of a person, and is also a challenge for a country to face up to in the process of development,” commented CRI.Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans’ hearts, even if she only won the third place in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo have increased 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans appreciated her straightforward character and attitude towards competitions.“The warm support from Internet users shows that public attitude towards competitive sports and the Olympics has gotten to a higher level”, said an article in the People’s Daily.37. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Gold medals can also cause sadness.B. Liu Xiang always disappoints his fans.C. Fans have high expectations of Liu Xiang.D. Liu Xiang got injured before the Olympics.38. What is people’s attitu de now towards the athletes who failed?A. Interested.B. Understanding.C. Angry.D. Disappointed.39. What makes people like Fu Yuanhui?A. Her Sina Weibo.B. Her kindness to the fans.C. Her attitude to competitions.D. Her winning a gold medal.40. What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?A. Winning gold medals is important.B. Changing attitude to athletes is a must.C. Results are not important in the competition.D. Peoples’ attitude towards competitive sports is healthier.三、七选五（共5小题，每道题2分，共10分）After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air. ____41____ However, is it as healthy as it can be?

ABikes are popular in the Netherlands.In fact,nearly half of all travel in the Netherlands is by bike.Now,one Dutch bik e designer,Thomas,has taken the country’s interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.The big bike has eight sets of pedals（踏板） for kids,a driver seat for an adult,and three other seats,comfortably letting little kids for their trip to and from school.The bike even has a motor,which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.So far,Thomas tells Fast Company,he’s sold 25 school-bikes,at a price of $25,000 each—less than it would cost to buy a traditional school bus with the same number of seats.Along with the traditional color,the bikes are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.Thomas says he’s sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium,England and Germany,but so far,the school bus bike hasn’t been sold in the United States.If the US agrees to buy this kind of school bus bike,it could do a lot of good to improve exercise for a young age and help them keep healthy.1.How do people in the Netherlands usually go to work?A.By car.B.By bus.C.By bike.D.On foot.2.The school buses are yellow in the Netherlands because ______.A.the color yellow is easy to paintB.yellow buses can be seen easilyC.yellow is the national color of the NetherlandsD.it's the designer's favorite color3.Which country of the followin g hasn’t bought a school bus bike?A.America.B.Germany.C.England.D.Belgium.4.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Thomas made a new kind of school bus.B.A school bus usually costs $25,000.C.Thomas sold bikes to Asian countries.D.Riding school bus bikes helps keep kids healthy.BStephen Hawking was born in Oxford,England on 8th January,1942.He went to school in St Al bans—a small city near London. Although he did well,he was never top of his class. After leaving school,Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics,then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学).As he himself admitted he wasn't very serious about studying. He was a very lazy student,and did very little work. However,he still achieved extremely good marks （分数）.Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him at the age of 20.He started to bump into（碰撞） things,and often fell over for no reason. When he visited his family at Christmas time,his father was so worried that he was sent to hospital for test. Finally,the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease(运动神经元病),an incurable（无法治愈的） illness which causes the muscles of the body to waste away. Doctors said he would die before he was 23.At first,Hawking became extremely depressed (忧郁的).After a while,though,he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote,“Before my illness had been diagnosed (诊断),there had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortlyafter I came out of hospital,I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married,found a job at Cambridge University,where he still works today,and had three children. He also went to do some of the most important scientific research ever carried out.His story shows that nobody,however bad their situation is,should lose hope,“Life is not fair（公平的）,” he once said.“You just have to do the best you can in the situation you are in.”5.As a university student,Stephen Hawking ________.A.worked extremely hardB.studied moths and chemistryC.was lazy and did very little workD.only achieved average marks6.Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him when ________.A.he visited his family at Christmas time one yearB.he was 20C.his father made him see a doctorD.he was sent to hospital for test7.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.Hawking's education.B.Hawking's reaction(反映) to being seriously ill.C.Hawking's views on life.D.Diagnosis of Hawking's motor neurone disease.8.Hawking believes that ________.A.you should always do your best however bad your situation isB.life is fairC.nobody's life is as bad as hisD.it's OK to lose hopeCRecently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean (地中海), swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted（点缀） with storybook sailboats(帆船) were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn't believe my eyes.My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do“one day". It was one of the things we talked in detail（详细地） about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on(兑现,实现) those plans.We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning.We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange（安排） time off from work. We renewed our passports（护照）, and then packed our bags.We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse（多样的）, and how fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes (刹车) on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine（安排） of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out (休息时间).It was a wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible（难以置信的） moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we'll be glad we did it. I know we'll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.9.What was the author's attitude toward the trip when planning it?A.Calm.B.Expectant（期待的）.C.Stressed.D.Worried.10.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.Preparing for the vacation.B.Having fun in the picture-perfect Mediterranean.C.Experiencing a different and beautiful world.D.Learning to study during trips as young adults.11.What was the main purpose of the author taking this trip?A.To allow her children to see the world.B.To teach her kids to value life.C.To teach her kids what they can't learn in school.D.To enjoy a family break away from their usual busy life.12.How did the author feel after her two months in Europe?A.Exhausted（精疲力尽的）.B.Satisfied.C.Disappointed.D.ProudDWhether they're playing on our TV screens or printed in newspapers, adverts （广告） are everywhere.In fact, according to US market research company Yankelovich, the average person living in a city sees thousands of ads every single day.However, ads don't just act as a tool for getting people to buy things; they also serve as a window into cultures, societies and history.Modern adverts began to appear in the 18th and 19th centuries, since advances in printing techniques allowed more detailed images to be produced in newspapers and magazines. Looking at some of these early ads is like taking a step back in time to another world.For example, an 1881 advert for French cigarettes promised that its product would “give immediate relief” to a list of medical conditions, including breathing problems. And a US ad from a 1955 newspaper advised mothers to mix the sugary soft drink A7 Up with their baby's milk.These days, of course, the harmful effectsof both smoking and sugary drinks are well known. But although these adverts seem unusual to us now, perhaps future generations may consider some of today's ads to be just as bizarre.“Advertising often serves as an indicator（指示） for what society considers to be socially acceptable and desirable at the time,” US marketing expert（专家） wrote on the Ad Council's website.In spite of being designed to sell or advertise something, some ads can even become part of a society's vernacular (方言).In the UK, for example, a slogan(标语) created in 1994 to advertise paint is used in everyday conversation by many Britons（英国人）. The phrase, “It does exact ly what it says on the tin", is used to describe an item or product that's open, straightforward and simple. Meanwhile, also in the UK, if someone describes themselves as a “Marmite person”, this means that you may either love them or hate them, based on t he British food Marmite's slogan, “Love it or hate it.”So, in spite of what we may think of them, it seems that ads are a bigger part of everyday life than we think they are.Instead of finding them annoying, however, at least we can be assured that future generations will have an interesting way to see how we lived - no matter how unusual today's world may seem to them.13.What does the underlined word“bizarre” in Paragraph 9 probably mean?A.Typical.B.Creative.C.Strange.D.Misleading（误导的）.14.The examples of the two British phrases are mentioned mainly to ____.A.prove most ads in the past were simpleB.show ads can influence everyday languageC.explain why some ads are very popularD.show that British people love to use words from ads15.What's the article mainly about?A.The history of modern adverts.B.The changing roles of ads.C.How ads reflect history and societies.D.Ads that have influenced our lives.II.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hita softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I wok e up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myselfa ＂marathon winner＂.4. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope5. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.6. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.7. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.CLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to ＂speak＂with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees — anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable(便携式的) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, ＂Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the wor ld. They can see everything and do everything.＂8. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to___________.A. connect them to librariesB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. use for their schoolwork9. Why is the word ＂speak＂in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?A. Because t hey don’t really talk.B. Because they use the computer language.C. Because laptops have speakers.D. None of the above reasons is correct.10. Which of the following is TRUE about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B. 1,500 students have laptops.C. It is an old college in America.D. Students there can do everything.11. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can ___________.A. attend lectures on information technologyB. travel around the worldC. get information from around the worldD. have free laptopsDSport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults w ith youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism cancreate high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.12. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is____________.A. to make sport less competitiveB. to reduce their mental stressC. to increase their sense of successD. to make sport more challenging13. According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that____________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it enables them to find faults in themselvesC. it can provide them with valuable experiencesD. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves14. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes____________.A. so as to put more pressure on themB. in order to make them remember life’s lessonsC. believing that criticism does good to their early developmentD. without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence15. According to the passage parents and coaches should___________.A. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportB. help children to win every gameC. train children to deal with stressD. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIf you’d like to go sightseeing,the following World Heritage sites(世界遗产保护地)may be your best choices.Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest AreaJiuzhaigou Valley,which lies in the northern part of Sichuan Province,China,reaches a height of more than4,800m,with a series of different forest ecosystems(生态系统).It’s particularly famous for its narrow landforms and excellent waterfalls.Some140kinds of birds also live in the valley,as well as a number of endangered plants and animals,including the giant panda.Jiuzhaigou Valley was recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in1992.Khami Ruins National MonumentThe city of Khami,which developed after the capital of Great Zimbabwe had been given up in the mid-16th century,is of great archaeological(考古的)interest.The discovery of objects from Europe and China shows that Khami was a major centre for trade over a long period of time.It joined the World Heritage List in1986.Henderson IslandHenderson Island,which lies in the eastern South Pacific,is one of the few atolls(环礁)in the world whose ecology(生态)has been untouched by humans.It is particularly famous for the10 plants and4birds that can only be seen on the island.It was recorded in the World Heritage List in 1988.Old City of JerusalemAs a holy(神圣的)city for three different religions in the Middle East,Jerusalem has always been of great religious importance.It was given a World Heritage Status in1981and placed on the“World Heritage in Danger List”the following year.1.Which of the following is TRUE about Jiuzhaigou Valley?A.Wonderful waterfalls can be seen there.B.It is famous for many ancient objects.C.It has been untouched by human beings.D.It lies in the eastern South Pacific.2.From the passage,we can learn that Jerusalem.A.was ruined in the mid-16th centuryB.was once business center for tradeC.is a holy city for three major religionsD.has over140kinds of birds living there3.According to the passage,which World Heritage site was most recently set?A.Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area.B.Henderson Island.C.Khami Ruins National Monument.D.Old City of Jerusalem.4.In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage?A.Industry.B.Travel.C.Science.D.Business.BI was once invited to speak at a high school.Before the speech,I saw David.He sat in his wheelchair barely able to move.As soon as he saw me he started smiling.He could not talk but I pretended the sharks were eating his cereal and his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart,and that he just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease.He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents'love and encouragement made all the difference.On the contrary—at a book signing session,I met a girl by the name of Anne.She walked up with her mum with a bright smile.Anne asked about my book with a slur(含糊地说)in her speech indicating a slight head injury.I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her.I did.Five minutes later,I heard a voice from Anne’s father,“You know you will not understand the book.You can’t read well enough.”You aren’t smart enough."He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction.She was absolutely crushed and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair.He took the book from her and brought it back to me and asked me to take it back.I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne.He said no with a heartless response.I thought back to David.He could not speak,walk,run or play but was actually very happy and even doing well in school because of the love and encouragement of his parents.Anne on the other hand had a slight learning problem and may never know the happiness of success because of a stern(苛刻的)father.What kind of parent are you?The truth is that what you are telling your kids makes the difference between their success and failure in life.5.What is David’s problem?A.He has a mental block.B.He suffers a muscles'disease.C.He can’t speak or read.D.He isn’t smart enough.6.What’s Anne’s feeling when hearing her father’s words?A.Light-hearted.B.Heart-broken.C.Cautious.D.Doubtful.7.The author is probably___________.A.a writerB.a doctorC.a teacherD.a lawyerCSmartphones,tablets and smart watches are banned at school for all children under15in France.Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours,including meal breaks.“I think it’s a good thing.School is not about being on your phone,”Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP.“It's hard with kids.You can't control what they see and that’s one of the things that worries me as a parent.”There is no law like this in Australia,but some Australian schools have banned phones. McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they're not allowed to use social media.Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned(抱怨),”but now they’re seeing the positives(优势).“They come to school and they're not allowed to use phones at all during the school day,including lunch breaks,”she said.“It’s been wonderful as for students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,”Ms Binnion said.She also leads by example and doesn't use her mobile phone in school.“I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”Not everyone agrees with the bans.Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.“A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn,communicate and work with ideas,”she wrote.“Banning students from using smartphones is a1950s response to a 2020state-of-play.”8.Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?A.Teachers find it hard to control kids.B.Kids behave badly nowadays.C.Her kids depend too much on phones.D.School is for studying.9.What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?A.Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.B.Some teachers were against it at first.C.Students can use their phones at lunch breaks.D.Students can now see the good of the ban.10.What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?A.It will disconnect parents and kids.B.It will cause kids to communicate less.C.It will make education go back60years.D.It will prevent kids being tech-minded.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
