Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology”. To be honest, as they use digital technology too much, they are losing their skills to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.
“I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the rising numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things.” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents are glad to see the skills of their children to use a computer or a smart phone.”
Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist unless he learns how to use a paint brush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older unless he learns to communicate with others at a young age?
Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices (选择). It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities (能力), which are good when they grow up.

Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.
One day, the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200,100 and 50-meter races without any problem. He was proud (骄傲) of himself and received great applause (掌声).
But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted.
In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved (挥) his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.
“Why are people not cheering for me like before?” he asked his grandfather.
“Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time,” the grandfather replied.
The boy was surprised but agreed to the race.
During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked slowly with them to the finish line. The crowd gave them a standing applause.
The boy asked his grandfather, “For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them?”
The grandfather smiled and said, “The crowd did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for how you all ran the race together.”
Facing the race of life, what matters is not just winning, but how you run the race.

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.
Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone can not understand them and become very sick or even die, Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city can become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don’t read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter the age. So I think people should read books.
41. In which part of the magazine can we read the passage?
A. EDUCATION. B. FAMILY. C. HISTORY. D. SCIENCE.
42. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Reading can reduce stress. B. Reading can make you smarter.
C. Reading can improve your memory. D. Reading can make you interesting and attractive.
43. What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The books they are reading. B. The directions on a medicine bottle.
C. The good reading skills. D. The words a doctor tells a sick person.
44. Why do some people disagree to read books?
A. Because they think books are too expensive.
B. Because they think reading books makes them lonely.
C. Because they think reading books just wastes their time.
D. Because they think they already have enough reading skills.
45. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. People Should Enjoy Themselves B. How We Improve Reading Skills
C. Why People Should Read Books D. What We Love Doing in Spare Time
五、语法填空。(用括号内词语的正确形式填空)。(每题1分,共10分)
根据短文内容和首字母提示,在下文空格处填入适当词使短文完整。(每空一词)。

Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology”. To be honest, as they use digital technology too much, they are losing their skills to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.
“I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the rising numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things.” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents are glad to see the skills of their children to use a computer or a smart phone.”
Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist unless he learns how to use a paint brush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older unless he learns to communicate with others at a young age?
Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices (选择). It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities (能力), which are good when they grow up.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
31. What’s the worst problem in the first passage?
A. Children can’t make things themselves.
B. Children make too many friends online.
C. Children don’t want to communicate with others.
D. Children don’t like helping mum cook meals at home.

B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology.
C. Many teachers don’t care if young pupils can play computers or tablets.
D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.
33. What does the underlined word “blame” mean in Chinese?
A. 表扬 B. 原谅 C. 评价 D. 责怪
34. The passage is probably a ________.
A. notice B. magazine C. diary D. report

One day, the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200,100 and 50-meter races without any problem. He was proud (骄傲) of himself and received great applause (掌声).
But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted.
In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved (挥) his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.
“Why are people not cheering for me like before?” he asked his grandfather.
“Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time,” the grandfather replied.

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.
Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone can not understand them and become very sick or even die, Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city can become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don’t read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter the age. So I think people should read books.
41. In which part of the magazine can we read the passage?
A. EDUCATION. B. FAMILY. C. HISTORY. D. SCIENCE.
42. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Reading can reduce stress. B. Reading can make you smarter.
C. Reading can improve your memory. D. Reading can make you interesting and attractive.
43. What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The books they are reading. B. The directions on a medicine bottle.
C. The good reading skills. D. The words a doctor tells a sick person.
44. Why do some people disagree to read books?
A. Because they think books are too expensive.
B. Because they think reading books makes them lonely.
C. Because they think reading books just wastes their time.
D. Because they think they already have enough reading skills.
45. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. People Should Enjoy Themselves B. How We Improve Reading Skills
C. Why People Should Read Books D. What We Love Doing in Spare Time
