One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many are nothing more than acquaintance (略有交情，熟人) or partners.” Mario agreed to the bet without a second thought. However, he wasn’t sure how to test who were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. “Take this. It’s an invisible (透明的) ‘chair’. If you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you can tell who your real friends are.” his grandpa said. Mario took the special “chair” to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and stood in the middle, with his “chair”. Mario tried hard to sit on the “chair”. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell down many times. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait, just a small problem.” he said. But again he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks. Mario tried many times until, suddenly, he sat in mid-air... Then he finally experienced the magic that his grandfather had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but making fun of him, enjoying his every fall. And there the show came to an end. Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them the magic “chair” test. And he learned true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by. A real friend would be less likely to make fun of us. 21. What bet did Grandpa have with Mario? A. Surprise could come after falling. B. Nobody would make fun of Mario. C. If the “chair” could be visible or not. D. Mario didn’t have many true friends. 22. How did Mario finally sit in his “chair”? A. His friends held him. B. His grandpa taught him. C. He tried many times. D. He experienced the magic. 23. From the magic “chair” test, Mario learned about ________. A. the meaning of real friends B. the value of family members C. the ways to make new friends D. the key to working with friends 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了马里奥通过“椅子”测试明白了什么才是真正的朋友。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第一段中“Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think.”可知，爷爷和马里奥打的赌是马里奥没有很多真正的朋友。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第五段中“Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall.”可知，马里奥最终坐上“椅子”原因是他的朋友们支撑着他。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中最后一段中“And he learned true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by.”可知，通过这个测试，马里奥了解到了真正的朋友的意义。故选A。 C The classroom environment has kept up with new technologies. First, we had blackboards and chalk. Then whiteboards and markers. Now we have interactive (交互的) whiteboards. From big, heavy televisions that were wheeled between classrooms, to flat do-it-all screens. So, what could the school of the future look like? Improved courses Different from the old-school traditions in English, math, social studies and science, we’ll have more meaningful and colorful courses. Instead of limiting students’ choices, teachers can let students choose whatever they like according to their interests and needs for their future career. Schools can create more opportunities for students to get useful skills through real-world practice, like cooking, money management, fixing the computer and gardening. Students will develop their deep thinking, problem-solving and communication skills through these courses. The classroom environment For the school of the future, there will be no need to fight with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds. And we’ll have smart glass. Windows can change their color to make up for light outside, protecting both our eyes and screens. As summers get hotter and winters become warmer and wetter, air-conditioned classrooms will become common. And they will be cleaner and more environment-friendly, with built-in air cleaners to remove bad stuff and dust from the air. Augmented (增强的) reality and AI Adaptive (适应的) learning systems driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become part of schools by 2050. These systems will give each student a special learning plan based on how they can learn better and will offer leveled tests depending on how the student is doing. AI may be also used to analyse (分析) students’ work, helping teachers understand which students need more help on weak lessons before they fall behind. Students will be able to get teachers’ advice quickly, with what needed to be improved and more personal guidance, fit for a student’s advantages and weaknesses. Undoubtedly, the biggest development we’ve seen in recent years has been in great progress in technology, so we can be quite certain that it has the ability to change schools over the next 20 or 30 years. 24. The writer may advise students to take the courses that ________. A. focus on useful skills B. create the opportunities C. help with classroom environment D. improve their English and science 25. What can we know about future schools according to the passage? A. Windows can change the light color to protect eyes. B. Technology can completely change the future school. C. The classroom will be warmer and wetter than before. D. Students can receive more guided help from teachers. 26. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage teachers to use AI to improve teaching. B. To suggest more possible ways of developing technology. C. To introduce how technology will change the future school. D. To show the importance of technology in changing future school. 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了随着科技的进步，未来学校是什么样子的。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Schools can create more opportunities for students to get useful skills through real-world practice, like cooking, money management, fixing the computer and gardening. Students will develop their deep thinking, problem-solving and communication skills through these courses.”可知，学校可以为学生创造更多机会，让他们通过现实世界的实践获得有用的技能，比如烹饪、理财、修理电脑和园艺。学生将通过这些课程培养他们的深度思考、解决问题和沟通能力。由此可知作者建议学生选择关注有用的技能的课程。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Windows can change their color to make up for light outside, protecting both our eyes and screens.”可知，窗户可以改变光的颜色来保护我们的眼睛和屏幕。故选A。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章，特别是最后一段可知，本文介绍了技术将如何改变未来的学校。故选C。 D In 2019, American kids aged 8 to 12 spent an average of 4 hours and 44 minutes on screens every day. By 2021, that average had increased to 5 hours and 33 minutes per day. Do kids need help putting their devices down, or can they decide on their own? There are a lot of research studies show that too much screen time can have a negative effect (效果) on people. Therefore, some countries try to make people stay away from devices. People living in a village in India have agreed to turn off their televisions and phones for one and a half hours every evening. A community uses the siren (汽笛) sounds to remind people to turn off the televisions and phones at 19:00. At 20:30, a second siren sound rings to show that screen-free time is over. In this way, people can have screen-free time, which is called a “digital detox”. It is when a person stops using digital devices for a fixed time. Some people say that taking a break from electronic devices is good. Screen-free time allows kids to connect to the outside world and with family and friends. Seeing people face to face helps to cure (治愈) loneliness. Kids can be more active if they are not on their phones or watching TV all the time, which is beneficial (有益的) to health. However, there are people who hold different ideas. Digital devices allow friends and family far away from each other to stay in touch. Besides, screen time can be valuable-kids can read great books, discover interesting facts or learn about important things happening in the world. Is there a way to find a balance between digital devices and our life? I think so. The good way is to cut down kid’s usage of digital devices by setting time limits. What’s more, if parents offer kids activities they find valuable, such as sports and art activities they enjoy, they will be less likely to spend time on social media. Once they become used to these activities, they will feel surprised how little they think about their phone. 27. The underlined phrase “digital detox” in paragraph 2 means “________”. A. the place to reduce the screen time B. the game to turn off the television C. the device to connect with friends D. the time to stop using digital devices 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Digital devices work as well as face-to-face communication. B. People in India have found a way to shorten the screen time. C. Limiting the usage of the phones can lead to their loneliness. D. Spending time with family is the easiest way to keep kids happy. 29. The writer may agree that ________. A. parents will feel worried if kids send the messages B. parents help kids set limit on what they see on devices C. kids may spend less screen time with the help of parents D. kids are likely to do less outdoor activities they enjoy 30. What is the writer mainly telling us? A. Causes and results about balanced life. B. Opinions and facts about digital devices. C. Choices and reasons about online activities. D. Problems and solutions about screen time. 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. C 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们使用电子设备的现状、使用电子设备的利弊以及如何在电子设备和我们的生活之间找到平衡。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“In this way, people can have screen-free time, which is called a “digital detox”. It is when a person stops using digital devices for a fixed time.”可知，“digital detox”是一个人在固定时间内停止使用数字设备。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Therefore, some countries try to make people stay away from devices. People living in a village in India have agreed to turn off their televisions and phones for one and a half hours every evening.”可知，一些国家试图让人们远离设备。印度一个村庄的居民同意每天晚上关掉电视和手机一个半小时。选项B“印度人已经找到了一种缩短屏幕时间的方法。”可从文章中得出。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“What’s more, if parents offer kids activities they find valuable, such as sports and art activities they enjoy, they will be less likely to spend time on social media.”可知，如果父母为孩子提供他们认为有价值的活动，比如他们喜欢的体育和艺术活动，他们就不太可能花时间在社交媒体上。选项C“在父母的帮助下，孩子们可能会花更少的时间看屏幕。”可能是作者同意的观点。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了人们使用电子设备的现状、使用电子设备的利弊以及如何在电子设备和我们的生活之间找到平衡。选项D“屏幕时间的问题和解决方案。”是作者主要想告诉我们的。故选D。 第二部分 本部分共5 小题，共20 分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 五、阅读表达(第31-34 题每题2 分，第34 题4 分，共10 分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The book review of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Are you looking for ways to be happier, successful and certain of yourself?

(二)阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B The “Chair” There was once a boy called Mario who loved to show off how many friends he had at school. One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many are nothing more than acquaintance (略有交情，熟人) or partners.” Mario agreed to the bet without a second thought. However, he wasn’t sure how to test who were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. “Take this. It’s an invisible (透明的) ‘chair’. If you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you can tell who your real friends are.” his grandpa said. Mario took the special “chair” to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and stood in the middle, with his “chair”. Mario tried hard to sit on the “chair”. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell down many times. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait, just a small problem.” he said. But again he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks. Mario tried many times until, suddenly, he sat in mid-air... Then he finally experienced the magic that his grandfather had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but making fun of him, enjoying his every fall. And there the show came to an end. Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them the magic “chair” test. And he learned true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by. A real friend would be less likely to make fun of us. 21. What bet did Grandpa have with Mario? A. Surprise could come after falling. B. Nobody would make fun of Mario. C. If the “chair” could be visible or not. D. Mario didn’t have many true friends. 22. How did Mario finally sit in his “chair”? A. His friends held him. B. His grandpa taught him. C. He tried many times. D. He experienced the magic. 23. From the magic “chair” test, Mario learned about ________. A. the meaning of real friends B. the value of family members C. the ways to make new friends D. the key to working with friends C The classroom environment has kept up with new technologies. First, we had blackboards and chalk. Then whiteboards and markers. Now we have interactive (交互的) whiteboards. From big, heavy televisions that were wheeled between classrooms, to flat do-it-all screens. So, what could the school of the future look like? Improved courses Different from the old-school traditions in English, math, social studies and science, we’ll have more meaningful and colorful courses. Instead of limiting students’ choices, teachers can let students choose whatever they like according to their interests and needs for their future career. Schools can create more opportunities for students to get useful skills through real-world practice, like cooking, money management, fixing the computer and gardening. Students will develop their deep thinking, problem-solving and communication skills through these courses. The classroom environment For the school of the future, there will be no need to fight with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds. And we’ll have smart glass. Windows can change their color to make up for light outside, protecting both our eyes and screens. As summers get hotter and winters become warmer and wetter air-conditioned classrooms will become common. And they will be cleaner and more environment-friendly, with built-in air cleaners to remove bad stuff and dust from the air. Augmented (增强的) reality and AI Adaptive (适应的) learning systems driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become part of schools by 2050. These systems will give each student a special learning plan based on how they can learn better and will offer leveled tests depending on how the student is doing. AI may be also used to analyse (分析) students’ work, helping teachers understand which students need more help on weak lessons before they fall behind. Students will be able to get teachers’ advice quickly, with what needed to be improved and more personal guidance, fit for a student’s advantages and weaknesses. Undoubtedly, the biggest development we’ve seen in recent years has been in great progress in technology, so we can be quite certain that it has the ability to change schools over the next 20 or 30 years. 24. The writer may advise students to take the courses that ________. A. focus on useful skills B. create the opportunities C. help with classroom environment D. improve their English and science 25. What can we know about future schools according to the passage? A. Windows can change the light color to protect eyes. B. Technology can completely change the future school. C. The classroom will be warmer and wetter than before. D. Students can receive more guided help from teachers. 26. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage teachers to use AI to improve teaching. B. To suggest more possible ways of developing technology. C. To introduce how technology will change the future school. D. To show the importance of technology in changing future school. D In 2019, American kids aged 8 to 12 spent an average of 4 hours and 44 minutes on screens every day. By 2021, that average had increased to 5 hours and 33 minutes per day. Do kids need help putting their devices down, or can they decide on their own? There are a lot of research studies show that too much screen time can have a negative effect (效果) on people. Therefore, some countries try to make people stay away from devices. People living in a village in India have agreed to turn off their televisions and phones for one and a half hours every evening. A community uses the siren (汽笛) sounds to remind people to turn off the televisions and phones at 19:00. At 20:30, a second siren sound rings to show that screen-free time is over. In this way, people can have screen-free time, which is called a “digital detox”. It is when a person stops using digital devices for a fixed time. Some people say that taking a break from electronic devices is good. Screen-free time allows kids to connect to the outside world and with family and friends. Seeing people face to face helps to cure (治愈) loneliness. Kids can be more active if they are not on their phones or watching TV all the time, which is beneficial (有益的) to health. However, there are people who hold different ideas. Digital devices allow friends and family far away from each other to stay in touch. Besides, screen time can be valuable-kids can read great books, discover interesting facts or learn about important things happening in the world. Is there a way to find a balance between digital devices and our life? I think so. The good way is to cut down kid’s usage of digital devices by setting time limits. What’s more, if parents offer kids activities they find valuable, such as sports and art activities they enjoy, they will be less likely to spend time on social media. Once they become used to these activities, they will feel surprised how little they think about their phone. 27. The underlined phrase “digital detox” in paragraph 2 means “________”. A the place to reduce the screen time B. the game to turn off the television C. the device to connect with friends D. the time to stop using digital devices 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Digital devices work as well as face-to-face communication. B. People in India have found a way to shorten the screen time. C. Limiting the usage of the phones can lead to their loneliness. D. Spending time with family is the easiest way to keep kids happy. 29. The writer may agree that ________. A. parents will feel worried if kids send the messages B. parents help kids set limit on what they see on devices C. kids may spend less screen time with the help of parents D. kids are likely to do less outdoor activities they enjoy 30. What is the writer mainly telling us? A. Causes and results about balanced life. B. Opinions and facts about digital devices. C. Choices and reasons about online activities. D. Problems and solutions about screen time. 第二部分 本部分共5 小题，共20 分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 五、阅读表达(第31-34 题每题2 分，第34 题4 分，共10 分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The book review of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Are you looking for ways to be happier, successful and certain of yourself?
