When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood- like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted an entire shelf in my room to the Harry Potter books. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She felt uneasy about owning old books. B. She had a poor relationship with her parents. C. She grew fondness for reading classics. D. She was often gifted old books by her parents. 5. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade? A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished. 6. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in Paragraph 3? A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books. B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books. C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf. D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. My Passion for Reading B. My Connection With Parents via Old Books C. My Encounter With the Harry Potter Series D. My Journey With Old Books 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对旧书的态度从讨厌到喜欢的转变过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood- like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort.(我过去讨厌旧书。不过，我说的“旧书”并不是指经典作品。我指的是那些有黄页、断了书脊和奇怪木头气味的书，你需要小心不要把它们弄破，因为它们已经磨损得很厉害了，会给你带来严重的不适)”可知，对作者来说，拥有旧书是一件令人不舒服，不自在的事。故选 A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.(在四年级的时候，我已经准备好去探索一个新的阅读世界，一个超越儿童章节书和青少年主题的世界。就在那时，我找到了我父母的整个哈利波特系列的旧拷贝。从视觉上看，我父母的书是我最大的噩梦。我记得我当时对自己说，我是不可能读懂这些书的。然而，我最终不得不接受这样一个事实：如果我想读这个系列，我就必须读我父母的书。于是，我开始了阅读七本旧书的可怕旅程)”可知，这套书的破旧程度让作者觉得无法阅读。由此可推知，作者在看到这套书的破旧样子后感到很沮丧。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted an entire shelf in my room to the Harry Potter books.(我仍然非常不喜欢旧书，但是整个哈利波特系列的情节吸引了我，我几乎完全忘记了这些书的样子。到最后，我已经在我的房间里用了整整一个书架来放哈利波特的书)”可知，是对“I was kind of a changed woman”的解释：作者之所以说自己有点变了是因为她开始更多地关注书的内容而忽略书的品相了。故选B项。 7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I used to hate old books.(我过去讨厌旧书)”以及最后一段“Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now.(现在，我喜欢旧书。虽然书的封面有时磨损得很厉害，以至于你几乎看不清书名，但你还是能理解书的内容。毕竟，一本旧书是几代读者的代表，他们选择生活在一个特定的虚构世界里，因为它包含的故事就是那么好。旧书是有意义的，我喜欢它们现在对我的意义)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述作者对旧书的感情变化。她一开始讨厌旧书，但是在看了父母给她的《哈利·波特》系列的旧书后，就开始更多地关注书的内容而不是书的品相，这次经历改变了她对旧书的感情。D项“My Journey With Old Books(我的旧书之旅)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 C “Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children. If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas. Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智力). The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems. It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble. 8. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake? A. People should be discouraged to think freely. B. It should encourage people to work a longer time. C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work. D. People should spend some of their working time thinking creatively. 9. What can we know from the passage about creativity? A. It is something that most people are born with. B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all. C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems. D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all. 10. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity? A. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class. B. They attach great importance to the test result. C. They pay no attention to examination marks. D. They don’t want their students to make mistakes. 11. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money? A. Allow them to have a try. B. Try to help them as much as possible. C. Take no notice of whatever they do. D. Order them to spend the least money. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了教育和商业专家表示：“创造力是通往更光明未来的关键”，以及学校和父母如何在孩子中鼓励这种重要技能的方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.(他的前公司从错误中吸取了教训。 现在它鼓励人们花15%的工作时间来思考和发展新想法。)”可知，德鲁曾经工作过的公司从错误中学到了们应该花一些工作时间进行创造性思考。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智力). The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. (创造力不是一个人与生俱来的东西，也不一定是高智商的特征。一个人的高智商并不意味着他会创造性地运用它。创造力是指利用自己拥有的资源产生对某事有益的新想法。)”可知，从文章中我们可以知道创造力是一种运用所学知识解决新问题的方法。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers.(不幸的是，学校并没有尝试鼓励创造力。由于高度重视考试成绩以及阅读、写作和数学技能的发展，许多教育工作者放弃了对正确答案的创造性。)”可推知，学校不鼓励创造力是因为他们非常重视考试结果。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.(随着孩子长大，父母应该让他们决定如何利用时间或花钱。这是因为有创造力的人最重要的特点是有一种非常强烈的欲望，想要找到摆脱困境的方法。)”可知，孩子决定如何花钱时，父母应该让他们试一试。故选A项。 D A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kids’ phone. At first, this made my sister-in-law “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, “I found out that she was some place that she said she wasn’t.” Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that. With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, according to a 2015 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To spy (监视) or not? Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found teens are more willing to accept tracking apps when it is included as part of a family use agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said. Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don’t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for providing a smartphone”. For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media accounts so that he can review posts. When you’re trying to build credence, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they will be watching them,” said Pauleh Weigle. If they are not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship.” 12. Why did the author’s sister-in-law use the app? A. She was interested in new apps. B. She was worried about her daughter. C. She wanted to know about after-class activities. D. She wanted to teach her daughter about the app. 13. What can we learn about today’s children from Homayoun? A. They doubt family use agreements. B. They are worried about online safety. C. They welcome the use of tracking apps. D. They dislike being spied on secretly with tracking apps. 14. According to paragraph 5, what do we know about Bell’s daughter? A. She developed some bad online habits. B. She kept her father out of her online groups. C. She wanted to put a tracking app on her phone. D. She allowed her father to know her online behavior. 15. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “credence” in the last paragraph? A. Trust. B. Praise. C. Environment. D. Curiosity. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家长为了了解自己的孩子而使用的追踪应用程序，并对该程序的使用注意事项进行了说明。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kids’ phone.(几年前，我的嫂子开始担心她十几岁的女儿。她放学后在做什么?她把时间都花在哪里了?我的侄女是一名优秀的学生，参加了各种课外活动。尽管如此，她的妈妈还是决定在孩子们的手机上安装一个跟踪应用程序)”可知，作者的嫂子使用这个应用是因为她很担心她的女儿。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I’ve found teens are more willing to accept tracking apps when it is included as part of a family use agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them(我发现，青少年更愿意接受将追踪应用作为家庭使用协议的一部分，以提高安全性，而不是将其作为监视他们的秘密工具)”可知，孩子们们不喜欢被跟踪软件暗中监视。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don ’ t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for providing a smartphone”. For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media accounts so that he can review posts.(马克·贝尔是一个十几岁女孩的父亲，他说：“我们没有跟踪应用程序，但我们制定了一些基本规则，我的女儿必须遵守，作为提供智能手机的交换条件。”例如，他的女儿必须在社交媒体账户上加他为好友，这样他才能查看帖子。)”可知，贝尔的女儿允许父亲知道她在网上的行为。故选D项。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词的下文“When you’re trying to build credence, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children.(当你试图建立credence时，你需要创造一个鼓励它的环境。所以，为了赢得他们的信任，你需要对你的孩子坦诚相待。)”可知，此处是介绍如何赢得孩子的信任，所以划线词最接近的意思是“信任”。故选A项。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors, if you want to make a good impression on your conversational partner. Continuous nodding Nodding at all the right times and places during a conversation can show that you’re fully engaged. ____16____, it’ll make you appear that you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re hardly — or not even — paying attention. Keep your head straight, your eyes forward, and only nod when appropriate. Crossing your arms There’s a reason why people don’t like it when their conversational partners cross their arms: It makes them appear unwilling to talk. In the animal kingdom, we keep our arms in front of us to protect ourselves from threats. ____17____. Unsmiling We’re not saying you should smile as if the person you’re speaking with keeps making jokes. However, you should try and keep a smile loaded up whenever needed. Smiles are also infectious. ____18____, your partner will smile too. ____19____ Keeping your eyes on your feet or the ground in front of you when speaking with another person can make you look a bit ashamed of yourself. This is definitely the impression you don’t want to make on your listeners, especially in formal settings where you’re being judged by everything you say and do, such as at a job interview. So try to keep your eyes focused on the person in front of you. Being too close ____20____. Depending on where you live, the distance between two people can be as close as two feet or as far as five. Whichever it is, give your conversational partner room to breathe freely. Nobody likes having their personal space invaded, so try and respect his or her wishes by keeping an appropriate distance. A. Looking downward B. But if you nod too much C. Irregular movement of the eyes D. Keep smiling when the other people are talking E. But in social life try to keep our body as open as possible F. So if you start smiling G. All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个不当的肢体语言动作及纠正措施。 【16题详解】 上文“Nodding at all the right times and places during a conversation can show that you’re fully engaged.”（在谈话中，在适当的时间和地点点头可以表明你完全投入。）说明谈话中适当的点头是可接受的，并结合后文“it’ll make you appear that you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re hardly-or not even-paying attention. Keep your head straight, your eyes forward, and only nod when appropriate.”（这会让人觉得你是在试图掩盖你几乎不注意或者根本不注意的事实。保持头直，眼睛向前，只在适当的时候点头。）可知，空前讲到在谈话的时候不时地点点头会让人感到你在倾听，空后说的则是你可能只是在点头敷衍，这中间应该有个转折。故B项“But if you nod too much”（但是如果你频频点头）符合语境，故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“There’s a reason why people don’t like it when their conversational partners cross their arms: It makes them appear unwilling to talk. In the animal kingdom, we keep our arms in front of us to protect ourselves from threats.”（人们不喜欢谈话对象双臂交叉是有原因的：这会让他们看起来不愿意说话。在动物王国里，我们把手臂放在前面来保护自己免受威胁。）说明在动物王国里，交叉手臂放在胸前是为了自卫，E项“But in social life, try to keep our body as open as possible”（但是在社交生活中，尽量保持我们的身体开放）与上文构成转折，说明在社交生活中应该有不一样的做法，符合语境，故选E项。 【18题详解】 上文“Smiles are also infectious.”（微笑也是有感染力的。）说明了微笑具有感染力，并结合下文“your partner will smile too.”（你的伴侣也会微笑。）可知，空处需给出伴侣也会微笑这件事发生的条件，F项“So if you start smiling”（所以如果你开始微笑）构成下文的条件，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 下文“Keeping your eyes on your feet or the ground in front of you when speaking with another person can make you look a bit ashamed of yourself. This is definitely the impression you don’t want to make on your listeners, especially in formal settings where you’re being judged by everything you say and do, such as at a job interview. So try to keep your eyes focused on the person in front of you.”（当你和别人说话时，眼睛盯着你的脚或你面前的地面会让你看起来有点惭愧。这绝对是你不想给你的听众留下的印象，特别是在正式的场合，你的一言一行都会被评判，比如在面试中。所以试着把你的目光集中在你面前的人身上。）可知，本段指出不恰当的身体姿势是低头看地面，A项“Looking downward”（低头看地面）可总结本段内容。故选A项。 【20题详解】 下文“Depending on where you live, the distance between two people can be as close as two feet or as far as five. Whichever it is, give your conversational partner room to breathe freely. ”（根据你生活的地方，两个人之间的距离可以近至两英尺，也可以远至五英尺。不管是哪种情况，给你的谈话对象自由呼吸的空间。）说明生活的地方不同，谈话时要保持的距离也不相同，G项“All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct”（就适当的社会行为而言，所有的文化都是不同的）说明文化差异会导致不同的社会行为，衔接后文具体的解释，居住地的不同会影响双方谈话时的距离，这就反映出了文化差异会导致不同的社会行为，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空（每小题1分 共15个小题; 满分15分 ） Pen pals Jill Stretton and Cathie Alexander live half a world apart. However, they’ve ____21____ a faithful correspondence for seven decades.   The long-lived letter-writing relationship ____22____ in 1950 when 12-year-old Stretton from Australia was given Alexander’s ____23____ by a friend. Back then, it sometimes took six weeks for a long-distance letter to reach its ____24____, but the pair established an instant rapport (融洽) after their first ____25____ that has grown stronger with time.   They felt as if they had truly ____26____ with one another, sharing life’s moments through their letters, ____27____ the two women didn’t meet in person until 1982. “She is just like one of the family,” Stretton said. “And we are still together as we ever were 70 years ago. That is quite ____28____ for people who’ve lost confidence in everlasting friendship.” Stretton and Alexander have never stopped ____29____ to one another. Along with hopes, dreams, photos, and family updates, through the years, their letters have contained their sweet life ____30____ — weddings, birthdays, graduation and so on. While they ____31____ write letters, with the development of technology, Stretton and Alexander have slightly bowed to the times. For longer messages, they’ve turned to the Internet, but they agree that nothing will ____32____ a handwritten note. “Now, we do ____33____ to send postcards rather than write long letters because we email each other now,” Stretton ____34____ honestly. But letter writing plays the most important part in their friendship. The two women’s story proves that the ____35____ is nothing when it comes to true friendship. 21. A. ignored B. selected C. sought D. maintained 22. A. improved B. changed C. began D. disappeared 23. A. email B. address C. number D. postcard 24. A. destination B. reward C. power D. intention 25.

I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood- like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted an entire shelf in my room to the Harry Potter books. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She felt uneasy about owning old books. B. She had a poor relationship with her parents. C. She grew fondness for reading classics. D. She was often gifted old books by her parents. 5. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade? A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished. 6. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in Paragraph 3? A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books. B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books. C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf. D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. My Passion for Reading B. My Connection With Parents via Old Books C. My Encounter With the Harry Potter Series D. My Journey With Old Books C “Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children. If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas. Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智力). The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems. It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble. 8. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake? A. People should be discouraged to think freely. B. It should encourage people to work a longer time. C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work. D. People should spend some of their working time thinking creatively. 9. What can we know from the passage about creativity? A. It is something that most people are born with. B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all. C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems. D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all. 10. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity? A. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class. B. They attach great importance to the test result. C. They pay no attention to examination marks. D. They don’t want their students to make mistakes. 11. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money? A. Allow them to have a try. B. Try to help them as much as possible. C. Take no notice of whatever they do. D. Order them to spend the least money. D A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kids’ phone. At first, this made my sister-in-law “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, “I found out that she was some place that she said she wasn’t.” Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that. With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, according to a 2015 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To spy (监视) or not? Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found teens are more willing to accept tracking apps when it is included as part of a family use agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said. Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don’t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for providing a smartphone”. For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media accounts so that he can review posts. When you’re trying to build credence, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they will be watching them,” said Pauleh Weigle. If they are not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship.” 12. Why did the author’s sister-in-law use the app? A. She was interested in new apps. B. She was worried about her daughter. C. She wanted to know about after-class activities. D. She wanted to teach her daughter about the app. 13. What can we learn about today’s children from Homayoun? A. They doubt family use agreements. B. They are worried about online safety. C. They welcome the use of tracking apps. D. They dislike being spied on secretly with tracking apps. 14. According to paragraph 5, what do we know about Bell’s daughter? A. She developed some bad online habits. B. She kept her father out of her online groups. C. She wanted to put a tracking app on her phone. D. She allowed her father to know her online behavior. 15. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “credence” in the last paragraph? A. Trust. B. Praise. C. Environment. D. Curiosity. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors, if you want to make a good impression on your conversational partner.
