Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Last month，I began my own two­week­long digital detox.I got the inspiration from the tech writer Paul Miller，who got away from the Internet for a whole year.It was not worth mentioning as against the time Miller spent offline，but it was the longest I had gone through without almost any Internet in 13 years. Why did I do it? For a while I felt the urge to try fully disconnecting to free myself from the endless work.I wanted to take a break from it all for a couple of weeks at least to see what would happen.After all，throughout the last decade，I've been online 24­7，overreacting to my email inbox and social feed(传送)—living in a world where the line between the digital world and the real world gets a bit unclear at times. I haven't of course forgotten that I'm CEO of a social media company.My work is built around the premise (前提) that being connected makes our lives richer，more rewarding and more efficient.Still，I'd forgotten one key lesson along the way: moderation　.As more and more of my life was spent scanning social feed and checking out my inbox，I realized that I needed to step back and get a whole new perspective. So on my winter vacation to Mexico，I took a break from being active on the Internet for the entire trip.For the whole 14 days，I ate a lot of delicious fish tacos，surfed and fixed up my cottage on the beach.I didn't write or send any emails.I didn't scan any Top 10 lists of feed.The one I did give myself was checking my email inbox occasionally—just to make sure an emergency wasn't unfolding while I was away. What I learned from my short experiment was actually not too unlike what Miller learned.I didn't end up discovering that technology is evil.In fact，I found myself reflecting on how technology over the last few years has let me experience some of the most rewarding and eventful moments of my life. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了一位媒体公司的总裁通过讲述脱瘾治疗的经历，以客观的态度阐述了网络对他的生活的影响。 1．Why did the author begin digital detox for two weeks? A．Because Miller recommended him to do so.

A．To a large degree. B．In an honest way. C．In an appropriate way. D．To a very small degree. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“As more and more of my life...get a whole new perspective.”可知，作者认为上网适度非常重要。 答案　C 3．Why did the author still check out his email? A．To deal with emergencies. B．For the sake of his health. C．To find some delicious food to eat. D．To watch Top 10 lists closely. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“just to make sure an emergency wasn't unfolding while I was away”可知，作者需要处理紧急事件。 答案　A 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The author holds an objective attitude towards technology. B．The author finds technology is harmful. C.The author will advise digital detox completely. D．The author will no longer use the Internet. 解析　推理判断题。通读全文尤其是最后一段中的“I found myself reflecting on...eventful moments of my life.”可知，作者对待科技的态度是客观的。 答案　A B In a foreign country，a man visited a local restaurant.He didn't speak their language.He ordered something indecipherable off the menu.When the waiter brought him a plate of delicious looking fried noodles，he smiled and made an OK sign at the waiter with his thumb and forefinger linked in a circle.Looking angry，the waiter then picked up the dish and threw it to his lap.What he did wrong，he wondered.Well，nothing is quite as it seems when it comes to using hand gesture in another country. Gestures have been used to replace words in many countries，and they are often specific to a given culture.Gesture may mean something complimentary in one culture，but is highly offensive (冒犯) in another. The gesture “thumb­up” is commonly misinterpreted.In English，it is popularly known as “thumbs up”，despite the fact that the action is commonly performed with only one hand.People from most English­speaking countries use it to signal “OK”，which is the same meaning as O．K.ring gesture.The two can in fact be used almost interchangeably. Avoid using this gesture in Southern Sardina or Northern Greece unless you want to invite a fight.While American，British and Australian would use the thumb up to signal hitch­hiking to the drivers，this message will not encourage a Greek driver or motorist to stop to give them a ride. There are no right or wrong signals，only cultural differences.Lack of cultural understanding will lead to disharmony among people from different cultures.When we know what to look for，such encounters with other cultures are actually very interesting，fascinating and fun.It is certainly a great topic to discuss over a cup of coffee and cakes. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了在不同的文化背景下，肢体语言有不同的意义。如果不理解文化的差异，很可能会造成误会。在此，作者建议我们要理解文化的差异性。 5．What did the man in the first paragraph do wrong? A．He misunderstood the waiter. B．He didn't realize cultural differences. C．He ordered something off the menu. D．He made the signal in a rude way. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“Gesture may mean something complimentary in one culture，but is highly offensive in another.”可推知，这个人的错误在于他没有意识到文化的差异。 答案　B 6．What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean? A．Full of admiration. B．Full of aggression. C．Full of complexity. D．Full of certainty. 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词后半句“but is highly offensive in another”可知，画线词所在的前半句是指某种手势语在一种文化中可能是一种称赞。 答案　A 7．What will happen if you make a thumb up toward a man in Northern Greece? A．He will stop to give you a lift. B．He will get annoyed and fight against you. C．He will ask you to give him a lift. D．He will make the same signal toward you. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Avoid using this gesture...invite a fight.”可知，在希腊北部，如果你对一个人伸出大拇指，他会很生气，并且会和你打架。 答案　B 8．What's the purpose of the passage? A．To explain the meaning of different gestures. B．To tell stories about different cultures. C．To advise us to have an understanding of cultural differences. D．To persuade people from different countries live in harmony. 解析　写作意图题。通读全文尤其是最后一段可知，文章主要讲了肢体语言在不同的文化背景下有着不同的意义。如果不理解文化差异，很可能会造成误会，所以作者写这篇文章的目的在于建议我们要理解文化的差异。 答案　C Ⅱ.七选五 Questions to Ask Before Getting Your Child a Cellphone At what age should you get your child a cellphone? 1 However，before you decide to add your child to your family plan，ask yourself these questions. 2 If you and your child are not often apart beyond school hours，a cellphone may not be a serious necessity，but if he is independent or involved in extra­curricular (课外的) activities outside your home，a cellphone could be useful，especially during emergencies as a convenient means of communication with you. Does your child understand the cost? Make sure your child understands the cost of having a cellphone. 3 Some options to help control costs include prepaid and postpaid phones，setting a monthly budget for your child. How can you keep your child's phone usage safe and under control? Before you get your child a phone，you should discuss what it can be used for，rules he is expected to follow，and consequences if he fails to follow them. 4 5 If you prefer to take an extra step towards monitoring his phone use，these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity. A．Who needs a cellphone? B．How can you determine whether or not to buy a cellphone for your child? C．You ask your child to make use of his cellphone for learning.
