When I was young, my mother was very much concerned for my happiness and was always there to support me. We had healthy boundaries (界限). When my own turn came for being a mother, I was determined to do so.
But as my daughter and I sat down to choose courses for the seventh grade, I felt the boundaries begin to fall. Students were allowed three electives (选修课) each term. Several of these were year-long courses—band, orchestra, yearbook and Spanish, and the rest were random (随机的) — technology education, drama, leadership and PE. I hated PE in my own school days.
We read the elective options carefully and sweet relief flooded through me. “You can sign up for band, yearbook and Spanish, and you won’t have to take PE ever,” I told her. I settled back into my chair, a weight taken off my chest. My daughter, however, frowned. “But I’m not sure I want to take Spanish. And I want to do the leadership class... and try drama!”
I broke in on her words with more practical wisdom. “You can’t pick the electives you want, though. They’re organized randomly. So you might get drama and leadership..., or you might get gym class or technology education. You might get the classes you want, and you might not. Is it worth risking having to take PE?” Finally, she chose to take the chance and signed up for band, yearbook and one period of the unknown elective. I reminded myself she was not me.
Watching your child walk into the trap of middle school is worse than experiencing it yourself. Motherhood, after all, is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. I am not going into the seventh grade again. It is my daughter’s turn. She is her own person, and while she is delicate and easily hurt, she is also stronger and more confident than I was.
4. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To present a fact. B. To provide an example.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
5. Why did the author feel relaxed after reading the elective options?
A Drama was her daughter’s favorite. B. Her daughter followed her advice.
C. There were many year-long courses. D. PE was optional for her daughter.
6. What did the author think of her daughter’s option?
A. It seemed organized. B. It was uncertain.
C. It was made at random. D. It sounded reasonable.
7. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph?
A. Motherhood is rewarding. B. Mothers should learn to let go.
C. Children should ask for help if necessary. D. Children are too young to make a decision.
C
The classic 1951 science fiction film “The Day the Earth Stood Still” includes an impressive character — a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu Barada Nikto”. What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.
I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu Barada Nikto.
8. What did the author probably meet with?
A. Hearing loss. B. Cultural shock. C. A language barrier. D. A frightening robot.
9. What makes the author fall behind in language?
A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse.
10. What does the author think of language change?
A. It is entirely avoidable. B. It is really small. C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too rapid.
11. What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Lessens. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses.
D
The introduction of the iPad, with its touch screen technology, has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer. So what if all children in the school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them?
Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons. The main advantage of everyone having an iPad has been the improvement in communication. Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting. Children hand in their homework by e-mail or through the school’s learning environment. Teachers now take the register using the iPad, which means that there is a centralized record of which children are in school, and which classroom they are in.
The use of iPads has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teachers. All communication with parents is now done by e-mail. Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents. The whole class can look at one child’s book by attaching the iPad to the whiteboard. Has forgotten the textbook. The teacher can take a photograph of the relevant and send it to the student in class.
While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure’s school, Parents feared that the iPads would replace and the children would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, “The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources that can be used. But we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision.”
12. What can teachers do when everyone uses an iPad in school?
A. They can have deep conversations with students.
B. They can have more time to prepare the lessons.
C. They can learn more about students’ activities at home.
D. They can communicate with their workmates more conveniently.
13. What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom?
A. It saves students bringing the textbooks.
B. It reduces parents’ worry about teaching.
C. It improves the relationship between teachers.
D. It makes sharing information easier.
14. What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom?
A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Annoyed. D. Positive.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Teachers prefer traditional methods of teaching.
B. The iPads won’t take the place of printed materials.
C. More and more schools are using iPads.
D. Exercise books are more valuable now.

When I was young, my mother was very much concerned for my happiness and was always there to support me. We had healthy boundaries (界限). When my own turn came for being a mother, I was determined to do so.
But as my daughter and I sat down to choose courses for the seventh grade, I felt the boundaries begin to fall. Students were allowed three electives (选修课) each term. Several of these were year-long courses—band, orchestra, yearbook and Spanish, and the rest were random (随机的) — technology education, drama, leadership and PE. I hated PE in my own school days.
We read the elective options carefully and sweet relief flooded through me. “You can sign up for band, yearbook and Spanish, and you won’t have to take PE ever,” I told her. I settled back into my chair, a weight taken off my chest. My daughter, however, frowned. “But I’m not sure I want to take Spanish. And I want to do the leadership class... and try drama!”
I broke in on her words with more practical wisdom. “You can’t pick the electives you want, though. They’re organized randomly. So you might get drama and leadership..., or you might get gym class or technology education. You might get the classes you want, and you might not. Is it worth risking having to take PE?” Finally, she chose to take the chance and signed up for band, yearbook and one period of the unknown elective. I reminded myself she was not me.
Watching your child walk into the trap of middle school is worse than experiencing it yourself. Motherhood, after all, is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. I am not going into the seventh grade again. It is my daughter’s turn. She is her own person, and while she is delicate and easily hurt, she is also stronger and more confident than I was.
4. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To present a fact. B. To provide an example.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
5. Why did the author feel relaxed after reading the elective options?
A. Drama was her daughter’s favorite. B. Her daughter followed her advice.
C. There were many year-long courses. D. PE was optional for her daughter.
6. What did the author think of her daughter’s option?
A. It seemed organized. B. It was uncertain.
C. It was made at random. D. It sounded reasonable.
7. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph?
A. Motherhood is rewarding. B. Mothers should learn to let go.
C. Children should ask for help if necessary. D. Children are too young to make a decision.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者在处理和她女儿亲子关系之间设定的合适的界限,通过女儿选课这件事情,作者进一步体会到,在孩子的成长中作为母亲应该学会放手。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was young, my mother was very much concerned for my happiness and was always there to support me. We had healthy boundaries (界限). When my own turn came for being a mother, I was determined to do so.(当我小的时候,我的母亲非常关心我的幸福,总是在那里支持我。我们有健康的界限。当轮到我做母亲的时候,我下定决心要这样做)”可知,作者提到小时妈妈对她的这种关心和支持以及后来作者做妈妈之后的亲子处理方式,引入本文的话题,故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We read the elective options carefully and sweet relief flooded through me. “You can sign up for band, yearbook and Spanish, and you won’t have to take PE ever,” I told her.(我们仔细阅读选修课,甜蜜的宽慰溢于言表。“你可以报名参加乐队、年鉴和西班牙语课,而且你永远都不用上体育课,”我告诉她)”可知,作者认为是否选择体育课对她女儿来说是自由的,不是必选性,故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“You might get the classes you want, and you might not. Is it worth risking having to take PE?(你可能会得到你想要的课程,也可能不会。值得冒险去上体育课吗?)”可知,作者认为女儿的选择是冒险的,具有不确定性,故选B。

The classic 1951 science fiction film “The Day the Earth Stood Still” includes an impressive character — a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu Barada Nikto”. What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.
I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu Barada Nikto.
8. What did the author probably meet with?
A. Hearing loss. B. Cultural shock. C. A language barrier. D. A frightening robot.
9. What makes the author fall behind in language?
A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse.
10. What does the author think of language change?
A. It is entirely avoidable. B. It is really small. C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too rapid.
11. What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Lessens. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者随着年龄增长不能适应英语语言进化的经历和担忧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused. (但当我无意中听到我学生彼此交谈时,我也经常感到困惑)”和第三段中“Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. (最近,当我走进教室时,我的学生们正在愉快地聊天。他们的一个评论引起了我的注意:“Venmo it to me”。我不知道“Venmo”是什么意思,所以我问了)”可知,作者遇到了语言障碍,时常无法理解学生们交谈的内容。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board. (其中一个“问题”是,随着时间的流逝,我变老了,但我的学生们还是一样的年龄——18到22岁。早些时候,当我二三十岁的时候,这不是一个问题,因为我们年龄相仿,说着同样的语言。但最近我清楚地意识到,一艘语言之船似乎已经启航,而我却不在船上)”可知,日益扩大的年龄差异使作者在语言上落后,无法理解年轻的学生们所说的内容。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language. (我并不反对变化,但当变化的速度让我紧张不安时,我就会感到不舒服。如果我从五年的小睡中醒来,我根本不知道人们在谈论什么。我就是听不懂他们的语言)”可推知,作者认为语言变化得太快了,让自己无所适从,五年的变化便足以让自己跟不上。故选D项。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations. (我庆幸自己至少对他们谈论的内容感兴趣,也庆幸自己有能力——在很大程度上——理解他们的解释)”和“But”可知,此处有转折,当前作者依然有了解学生们谈话内容的兴趣,但是担心有一天这种兴趣减退了,自己就完全无法理解他们的话了。因此,wanes的意思应该是“减退,减少”,与lessens意思相近。故选A项。
D
The introduction of the iPad, with its touch screen technology, has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer. So what if all children in the school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them?
Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons.

Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents. The whole class can look at one child’s book by attaching the iPad to the whiteboard. Has forgotten the textbook. The teacher can take a photograph of the relevant and send it to the student in class.
While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure’s school, Parents feared that the iPads would replace and the children would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, “The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources that can be used. But we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision.”
