This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2­year­old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.I had brought a children's book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age. Picture this：my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read，he reaches out and pokes(戳) the page with his finger. What's up with that？He just likes the pictures，I thought.Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused：Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them.He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry，kid.This book is not part of your high­tech world.It's an outdated，lifeless thing.An antique，like your grandfather.Well，I may be old，but I'm not hopelessly challenged，digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I've even built websites. There's one notable gap in my new­media experience，however：I've spent little time in front of a camera，since I have a face made for radio.But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing，Tianjin and Hebei Province. Anyway，grandpa is now an Internet star—two minutes of fame！I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2­year­old grandson sees it on his tablet. 4.What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in Paragraph 2? A.Provided shelter for me. B.Became very clear to me. C.Took the pressure off me. D.Worked quite well on me. 5.Why did the kid poke the storybook? A.He took it for a tablet computer. B.He disliked the colorful pictures. C.He was angry with his grandpa. D.He wanted to read it by himself. 6.What does the author think of himself? A.Socially ambitious. B.Physically attractive. C.Financially independent. D.Digitally competent. 7.What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A.He lacks experience in his job. B.He seldom appears on television. C.He manages a video department. D.He often interviews Internet stars. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者曾经是一名记者，在春节期间，作者给两岁的孙子拿了一本儿童读物读，孙子却以为是平板电脑，不停地戳书。 4.B　[解析]词义猜测题。根据第一段以及画线词后文as I was sitting with my 2­year­old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday可知，作者是一名记者，生活在一个讲故事的新时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说，这很平常。而在春节假期，作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上，尤其清楚认识到了这一点。故画线词意思是“我很清楚”。故选B。 5.A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第五段中的“He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them.He thought my storybook was like that.”可知，孩子戳故事书是因为他把书当成了平板电脑。故选A。 6.D　[解析]细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Well，I may be old，but I'm not hopelessly challenged，digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I've even built websites.”可知，作者认为自己在数码技术方面能够胜任。故选D。 7.B　[解析]推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“There's one notable gap in my new­media experience，however：I've spent little time in front of a camera，since I have a face made for radio.”可推知，作者作为记者很少上电视。故选B。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Iarossi is a 10­year­old softball(垒球) player from Tampa，Florida.She was tired of having her practices canceled because of an 1 between girls and boys sports.Her community has many baseball fields but only one softball field.When baseball teams need more 2 ，they will often take up the softball field， 3 her team's practice.
