The animal is a Seychelles giant tortoise called Jonathan. ②Experts believe he was born in 1832, but there are no official records of his birth. Some experts think Jonathan might actually be ten years older at that time. He is the world’s oldest land animal alive today—at least the oldest that experts (专家) know about. ③Jonathan was born in the Seychelles. He was taken to St. Helena in 1882 as a gift for the St. Helena governor. This means Jonathan has lived through countless wars, 40 US presidents and some of history’s most important events: the first photograph, the first telephone, and the first man on the moon. ④The questions is, what birthday gift do you get for a 190-year-old tortoise? Joe Hollins, Jonathan’s vet, said he had a good birthday. There was a three-day party for him. Chefs made him a special tortoise birthday cake that was full of his favorite vegetables. St. Helena also published a set of special postage stamps to celebrate his birthday. But Jonathan did not get to see any of the celebrations because he is blind. He also has no sense of smell. However, he has an excellent sense of hearing, so he could hear “Happy Birthday” being sung. ⑤The giant tortoise still has plenty of energy and enjoys the same activities he has done for almost two centuries. He sleeps, eats fruits and vegetables with the two tortoises who live with him. He likes to relax in the sun.

He speaks to the driver in such a low voice that I can’t hear. But adult riders in the front seem angry. The driver nods and the boy walks past me, eyes on his old shoes a size too big for him. Right behind me, I hear a man’s voice, “Trailer park people never have the money to pay the fare (车费).”A woman’s voice answers, “They always expect a free ride.” I look around my seat, real quick. I see the boy duck his head. I know that feeling. I don’t know why he didn’t pay. I reach deep in my pocket for the change I’ve earned from chores.

Entering the room, James found his younger brother Adam sitting on his bed with tears in his eyes. “Sorry. I did something wrong,” Adam said in a low voice. “What’s wrong?” James asked. “This afternoon I went to play football on the road and accidentally it hit our neighbor Mr. Black’s car. I was so afraid that I hurried home without telling him,” Adam said, full of regrets. “Is the car seriously damaged?” James asked nervously. “The tail light got broken,” Adam said. “It’s truly your fault (错误). It’s really dangerous to play football on the road. What’s worse, you shouldn’t have come back without telling Mr. Black about it. You are such a bad boy,” James raised his voice. Hearing this, Adam lowered his head. James added, “Anyway, it’s never too late to mend. Now it’s time to sleep.” When A dam went to bed, James couldn’t go to sleep himself.

There are times when it’s more fun than you can possibly imagine and then there are times when you feel hopeless, knowing there’s very little you can do to stop him losing his temper (脾气). You can’t help feeling a little shameful when other parents look at you as if to suggest you should be doing more to keep your child under control. For the first time, I boarded a plane with him recently, knowing that there would be someone who knew nothing about our challenges sitting beside us for the next eight hours. Sure enough, our problems started before the plane had even taken off, as I tried to fasten my son’s seat belt and he started shouting. But far from feeling uncomfortable, the smartly dressed businessman sitting on the other side leant over with a smile and helped me with the task. The effect on my son was just like a miracle. He stopped crying immediately. He’d made a new best friend. I never got to know this man’s name or anything about him, but for the duration of the flight his charm worked wonders. Every time my son wanted to kick off, the man was able to calm him down before things got too out of hand. He even succeeded in getting my son to eat a meal.

Li said that people often have misunderstandings toward shoe designers. “Shoe designing is not simply about making new shoes.” he said. “Shoe designers are like hunters, and we need to design shoes based on many elements like material, cost and use.” “My job is to find the shoe design elements first with the help of a product manager. Product managers analyze (分析) the social market, the life style and customer preferences. My design depends on their work a lot.” he said. Within one pair of shoes sits many ideas. And good shoe design needs a special theme; it helps people to understand the ideas behind it. For example, as outer space exploration gets popular worldwide, Li has taken part in designing a series of basketball shoes called Xian Feng Li based on this theme. “The whole shoe is inflated (充气的) like a space capsule (舱),” he said. “And the sole (鞋底) looks like the universe’s big bang.” It is warmly welcomed by the young people. After designing a pair of shoes, Li passes his design on to the development team, which tries to make the product. “If problems appear, like the material I had in mind doesn’t work, or the cost is too much and so on,” Li said. “I will work on to improve my design together with them.” Li believes that a good shoe designer should be always interested in the world and long for new ideas. “Sometimes, ideas take time to develop in our minds, so we need to be patient,” he said. In Li’s eyes, it takes at least four years for a shoe designer to be independent. “It’s a long but worthwhile journey,” Li said. “When your idea helps the products or the brand to make a breakthrough (突破), you truly feel special.” 1．What does the underlined word “elements” mean in Paragraph 2? A．成分 B．展览 C．手段 D．要素 2．Shoe designers can get help from the following ones EXPECT _________. A．hunters B．product managers C．customers D．development teams 3．Why does the author mention the space-themed shoes in Paragraph 4? A．To show Li’s excellent shoe designing talent.

D．To help make the series of basketball shoes popular. 4．Li thinks a good shoe designer should be ________. A．independent and helpful B．special and serious C．creative and patient D．careful and humorous （23-24九年级上·浙江宁波·期末）It was 1:20 in the morning on July 15, 2021. I had just gone to bed after celebrating my 31st birthday. I live in Sinzig, a town in western Germany about half a mile from the banks of the Ahr River, and it had been raining heavily that week. There were flood warnings for some of the nearby areas, but not where I was. I’d placed sandbags outside my garden door and prepared clothing on tables and the sofa just in case water would to get in. Before my friends left, they laughed at me for doing that. Soon, I was woken up by the sound of rushing water. When I got out of the bed, I was shocked to feel cold water already up to my knees and rising fast. When I stepped into the hall, I saw the water coming from the garden door, and almost everything was rushed away. Now I had to get out fast! With the water up to my waist (腰部), I started to wade (蹚水) to the door that leads upstairs to the rest of the house. All around me things were breaking. Finally I made it to that door and tried to pull it open, but every time I opened it a bit, it was shut by the water again. So I used a knife I found to make a gap (间隙) that was wide enough for me to pass through. Then, I rushed outside. I found the river had flooded the neighborhood and realized that if I had woken up just a few minutes later, I would have died. This experience made me thankful and decided to live each day to its fullest. I came very close to drowning (溺水的) that day. I always remember what my mother told me: “Christian, don’t remember the day when you lost everything. Remember the day you survived (幸存).” 1．The writer’s friends laughed at him because they thought _________.

She’s too young to travel without an adult. It’s completely out of the question.” So why did I find myself standing, two weeks later, at Lishe Airport? Tearfully, I watched our oldest child disappear through the security checkpoint. In four hours’ time, she would be in Beijing. It’s 1,300 kilometers away from Ningbo! There comes a time when you have to let your baby go—for many parents. It’s around the age of 15. We know that there is likely to be something more dangerous than hanging around by the pool, but the time would come to trust that they have already grown up and can be independent. But I still felt worried. Rose tried to put my mind at rest. She said she and her friends would always look after one another and that it really was all going to be okay. After we had waved our last goodbye at the airport, I looked back. To my surprise, she was looking back at me, too. Teenagers want to cut free, but it’s a frightening business for them, too. We made Rose promise to send messages as soon as she had arrived in Beijing and she should do that at least once a day. At around 9 a. m. the next morning, her first message came through. It was twelve hours since I had left her at Lishe. But all I got was: I’m here. I wish it was safer than I thought before. But like all the dangers that life can hold for them, all you can do is to warn them, warn them again, warn them once again. Luckily, Rose showed up at Lishe Airport 5 days later. My husband and I were really excited when we saw her. I know it was the time that we should trust she could take care of herself. 1．Where does Rose’s family live? A．Beijing. B．Ningbo. C．Hangzhou. D．Shanghai. 2．What does the underlined word “that” mean? A．Arrive in Beijing. B．Find a safer place. C．Call her mother. D．Send messages to her mother. 3．When did Rose return after she left at Lishe Airport? A．Three hours later. B．Twelve hours later. C．Five days later. D．Two weeks later. 4．Where can we most probably find this passage? A．In a travel guide. B．In a history book. C．In a science newspaper.

I remember Carter, one of the characters in the video, going through a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle. A workman asked what he could see. “Wonderful things!” Carter said. From that moment, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine, and I made it happen. Seems easy, right? Not quite! The road wasn’t easy. I did my studies—university, then a PhD (博士). But along the way I was told many things, “Shawki was too young and she had no experience. She should get married and have kids”. I also needed money, so I applied for grants (申请补助金) . The first five replies I got said no. Six months later the last reply came and I was excited about it. Finally, I could start my own digging. Today, I’m lucky to work as an archeologist (考古学家) . I study the lives of people who lived in Egypt’s Nile Delta. It’s exciting work. Sometimes you find something that was buried three thousand years ago. Holding a piece of history is an amazing feeling. For anyone thinking about a job, I would say: Never give up. If you want to do something, keep trying. If people tell you “no”, use that—it will push you. At the beginning, it hurts. But the next “no” hurts a little less. It makes you stronger and actually helps you. Second, focus on your goals. You don’t have to follow other people. If they say something has never been done, make it happen. You may be the first to do it! There are always challenges, but you overcome them in the end. 1．What’s the purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A．To explain the challenges Shawki faced at school. B．To describe what was found inside the King’s tomb. C．To explain how Shawki became interested in archeology. D．To show how Carter did a good job in the King’s tomb. 2．What does the word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The reply. B．The digging. C．The challenge. D．The university. 3．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Think about the job. B．Never give up. C．Learn to say no.

A．①②③④ B．①③④② C．③①④② D．③④①② （23-24九年级上·浙江杭州·期末）①“Class, this is John Evans,” Mrs. Parmele introduced him to us, trying to give him a warm welcome. We saw a boy in old clothes. John looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would smile back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway. I held my breath as Mrs. Parmele looked around the classroom, hoping she wouldn’t notice the empty desk next to mine. She did, and pointed him at that desk.

I told my mother one evening at dinner, “He even doesn’t know how to count.” However, as I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, I realized that it was pleasant to be with him. After lunch, I decided that I would be John’s friend. ③One night, as Mother came into my bedroom, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is John’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything.

I looked up and saw Mother coming through the door with a tray (托盘) of cupcakes and a present in her hand. Mrs. Parmele also joined in. Mother found John looking like a rabbit in car headlights. She put the cupcakes and the gift on John’s desk and said, “Happy birthday, John.” John stood there with his mouth open, unable to believe what was happening. While John happily shared his cupcakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk, I caught Mother watching me and she smiled. ⑤John Evans moved away soon, and I never heard from him again.

An American mom challenged her son to do just that, and he succeeded. Sivert Klefsaas is the youngest of Lorna Gold-strand Klefsaas’ four children, and his three older sisters all used social media growing up.

It also meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead.” Now that he’s done with the challenge, Sivert joined Instagram (照片墙), but has no plans to let social media define (定义) him. “Social media is great. We certainly need to use it,” Sivert said. “But also make sure you spend time in other areas of your life, especially those personal relationships.” Still, Lorna is proud of her son’s success. “We are certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy using of it,” Lorna told CNN. 1．Who does the underlined word “she” refer to?

The animal is a Seychelles giant tortoise called Jonathan. ②Experts believe he was born in 1832, but there are no official records of his birth. Some experts think Jonathan might actually be ten years older at that time. He is the world’s oldest land animal alive today—at least the oldest that experts (专家) know about. ③Jonathan was born in the Seychelles. He was taken to St. Helena in 1882 as a gift for the St. Helena governor. This means Jonathan has lived through countless wars, 40 US presidents and some of history’s most important events: the first photograph, the first telephone, and the first man on the moon. ④The questions is, what birthday gift do you get for a 190-year-old tortoise? Joe Hollins, Jonathan’s vet, said he had a good birthday. There was a three-day party for him. Chefs made him a special tortoise birthday cake that was full of his favorite vegetables. St. Helena also published a set of special postage stamps to celebrate his birthday. But Jonathan did not get to see any of the celebrations because he is blind. He also has no sense of smell. However, he has an excellent sense of hearing, so he could hear “Happy Birthday” being sung. ⑤The giant tortoise still has plenty of energy and enjoys the same activities he has done for almost two centuries. He sleeps, eats fruits and vegetables with the two tortoises who live with him. He likes to relax in the sun. On mild days, he will sunbathe—his long neck and legs stretched (伸展) fully out of his shell. 1．What can we know about Jonathan from Paragraph 2? A．He is the world’s oldest animal alive today. B．Some experts think Jonathan might be as old as 200. C．The official records show that Jonathan was born in 1832. D．Jonathan was born in the year when there were countless wars. 2．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Birthday celebrations. B．Different gifts. C．Daily activities. D．Excellent senses. 3．What is the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．Why does the writer use the symbol dash (破折号) “—” in the last sentence in Paragraph 5? A．To list different sorts of baths. B．To add further explanation about how. C．To sum up the information above. D．To change the topic between the paragraphs. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界上年龄最大的陆地动物——塞舌尔巨龟乔纳森。 1．细节理解题。根据“the world’s oldest land animal celebrated his 190th birthday”和“Some experts think Jonathan might actually be ten years older at that time.”可知，一些专家认为乔纳森在过190岁生日的时候，实际年龄可能要大十岁，所以它可能有200岁。故选B。 2．段落大意题。根据“The questions is, what birthday gift do you get for a 20-year-old tortoise?”及本段下文内容可知，全段主要介绍了乔纳森的兽医、厨师等人给它准备的不同的生日礼物。故选B。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第①段引入主题，第②③段介绍乔纳森是当今世界上现存最古老的陆地动物；第④段主要介绍了乔纳森的生日礼物；第⑤段主要介绍了乔纳森的日常生活，所以A选项符合文章结构。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“he will sunbathe—his long neck and legs stretched fully out of his shell”可知，他会晒日光浴——他的长颈和长腿完全伸出了外壳，破折号后内容进一步说明了乔纳森是如何晒日光浴的。故选B。 （23-24九年级上·浙江金华·期末）I’m good at my schoolwork, but for some reason, I have a very bad habit of losing things.

He speaks to the driver in such a low voice that I can’t hear. But adult riders in the front seem angry. The driver nods and the boy walks past me, eyes on his old shoes a size too big for him. Right behind me, I hear a man’s voice, “Trailer park people never have the money to pay the fare (车费).”A woman’s voice answers, “They always expect a free ride.” I look around my seat, real quick. I see the boy duck his head. I know that feeling. I don’t know why he didn’t pay. I reach deep in my pocket for the change I’ve earned from chores. The driver glares at me because I’m out of my seat while the bus is moving. I whisper (低语)，” For that one. In the back.” The coins go down the machine and it beeps to say a child’s fare has been paid. The driver raises one thick brown eyebrow. Then I go back to my seat. When I sit down, I hear a voice. “Don’t expect him to be thankful.” That’s not why I did it. I wasn’t even thinking that. Don’t any of them know how it feels to have empty pockets? My family used to all the time, till Daddy got a new job. However, I feel angry eyes all on me. Two weeks later, I get on the same bus. Only then I remember I spent all the money, for the movie and popcorn. I forgot to save some for the bus. I look at the driver helplessly, “I can’t pay,” I whisper. His voice is surprisingly soft. “You already did.” The smallest but warmest smile in the world spreads on his face. He nods to say I should sit down. I hear angry voices behind me. It’s only then that I notice the sign that says: No free rides. I realize that two weeks ago the driver broke the rules by letting the boy ride without paying. Maybe an angry passenger could have complained to his boss. Maybe he could have gotten into trouble. But he did it anyway. A small but thankful smile appears on my face. From now on, I’m always going to carry two fares worth of money in my pocket. 1．What does the boy probably say to the driver when getting on the bus? A．I can’t pay. B．I get off the next stop.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma. Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She first learned to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion. Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly. Learning the violin was more challenging. For example, Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself. “After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.” In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing.

Li said that people often have misunderstandings toward shoe designers. “Shoe designing is not simply about making new shoes.” he said. “Shoe designers are like hunters, and we need to design shoes based on many elements like material, cost and use.” “My job is to find the shoe design elements first with the help of a product manager. Product managers analyze (分析) the social market, the life style and customer preferences. My design depends on their work a lot.” he said. Within one pair of shoes sits many ideas. And good shoe design needs a special theme; it helps people to understand the ideas behind it. For example, as outer space exploration gets popular worldwide, Li has taken part in designing a series of basketball shoes called Xian Feng Li based on this theme. “The whole shoe is inflated (充气的) like a space capsule (舱),” he said. “And the sole (鞋底) looks like the universe’s big bang.” It is warmly welcomed by the young people. After designing a pair of shoes, Li passes his design on to the development team, which tries to make the product. “If problems appear, like the material I had in mind doesn’t work, or the cost is too much and so on,” Li said. “I will work on to improve my design together with them.” Li believes that a good shoe designer should be always interested in the world and long for new ideas. “Sometimes, ideas take time to develop in our minds, so we need to be patient,” he said. In Li’s eyes, it takes at least four years for a shoe designer to be independent. “It’s a long but worthwhile journey,” Li said. “When your idea helps the products or the brand to make a breakthrough (突破), you truly feel special.” 1．What does the underlined word “elements” mean in Paragraph 2? A．成分 B．展览 C．手段 D．要素 2．Shoe designers can get help from the following ones EXPECT _________.

A．independent and helpful B．special and serious C．creative and patient D．careful and humorous 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讲述了李宁的鞋子设计师李伯谦用创造力和耐心设计出了一双双有创意的鞋子。 1．词句猜测题。分析“Shoe designers are like hunters, and we need to design shoes based on many elements like material, cost and use.”可知，鞋子设计师就像猎人，我们需要根据材料、成本和用途等来设计鞋子。材料、成本和用途等都属于设计需要的要素，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“My job is to find the shoe design elements first with the help of a product manager.

I had just gone to bed after celebrating my 31st birthday. I live in Sinzig, a town in western Germany about half a mile from the banks of the Ahr River, and it had been raining heavily that week. There were flood warnings for some of the nearby areas, but not where I was. I’d placed sandbags outside my garden door and prepared clothing on tables and the sofa just in case water would to get in. Before my friends left, they laughed at me for doing that. Soon, I was woken up by the sound of rushing water. When I got out of the bed, I was shocked to feel cold water already up to my knees and rising fast. When I stepped into the hall, I saw the water coming from the garden door, and almost everything was rushed away. Now I had to get out fast! With the water up to my waist (腰部), I started to wade (蹚水) to the door that leads upstairs to the rest of the house. All around me things were breaking. Finally I made it to that door and tried to pull it open, but every time I opened it a bit, it was shut by the water again. So I used a knife I found to make a gap (间隙) that was wide enough for me to pass through. Then, I rushed outside. I found the river had flooded the neighborhood and realized that if I had woken up just a few minutes later, I would have died. This experience made me thankful and decided to live each day to its fullest. I came very close to drowning (溺水的) that day. I always remember what my mother told me: “Christian, don’t remember the day when you lost everything. Remember the day you survived (幸存).” 1．The writer’s friends laughed at him because they thought _________.

She’s too young to travel without an adult. It’s completely out of the question.” So why did I find myself standing, two weeks later, at Lishe Airport? Tearfully, I watched our oldest child disappear through the security checkpoint. In four hours’ time, she would be in Beijing. It’s 1,300 kilometers away from Ningbo! There comes a time when you have to let your baby go—for many parents. It’s around the age of 15. We know that there is likely to be something more dangerous than hanging around by the pool, but the time would come to trust that they have already grown up and can be independent. But I still felt worried. Rose tried to put my mind at rest. She said she and her friends would always look after one another and that it really was all going to be okay. After we had waved our last goodbye at the airport, I looked back. To my surprise, she was looking back at me, too. Teenagers want to cut free, but it’s a frightening business for them, too. We made Rose promise to send messages as soon as she had arrived in Beijing and she should do that at least once a day. At around 9 a. m. the next morning, her first message came through. It was twelve hours since I had left her at Lishe. But all I got was: I’m here. I wish it was safer than I thought before. But like all the dangers that life can hold for them, all you can do is to warn them, warn them again, warn them once again. Luckily, Rose showed up at Lishe Airport 5 days later. My husband and I were really excited when we saw her. I know it was the time that we should trust she could take care of herself. 1．Where does Rose’s family live? A．Beijing. B．Ningbo. C．Hangzhou.

I remember Carter, one of the characters in the video, going through a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle. A workman asked what he could see. “Wonderful things!” Carter said. From that moment, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine, and I made it happen. Seems easy, right? Not quite! The road wasn’t easy. I did my studies—university, then a PhD (博士). But along the way I was told many things, “Shawki was too young and she had no experience. She should get married and have kids”. I also needed money, so I applied for grants (申请补助金) . The first five replies I got said no. Six months later the last reply came and I was excited about it. Finally, I could start my own digging. Today, I’m lucky to work as an archeologist (考古学家) . I study the lives of people who lived in Egypt’s Nile Delta. It’s exciting work. Sometimes you find something that was buried three thousand years ago. Holding a piece of history is an amazing feeling. For anyone thinking about a job, I would say: Never give up. If you want to do something, keep trying. If people tell you “no”, use that—it will push you. At the beginning, it hurts. But the next “no” hurts a little less. It makes you stronger and actually helps you. Second, focus on your goals. You don’t have to follow other people. If they say something has never been done, make it happen. You may be the first to do it! There are always challenges, but you overcome them in the end. 1．What’s the purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A．To explain the challenges Shawki faced at school. B．To describe what was found inside the King’s tomb. C．To explain how Shawki became interested in archeology.

Six months later the last reply came and I was excited about it. ”可知，前五次申请补助金的要求都被否了，六个月后的那次答复成功了，因此作者很兴奋，可以推断出这次的答复是肯定的，因此“it”指代“the reply”。故选A。 3．段落大意题。根据“For anyone thinking about a job, I would say: Never give up.”可知，本段作者想告诉我们不要放弃，坚持下去就会成功的道理。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine”可知，九岁时，Shawki决定成为一名考古学家，因此①排在第一位，根据“I did my studies—university, then a PhD (博士).”可知，接下来介绍她的求学之路，因此③排在第二位，根据“ I also needed money, so I applied for grants (申请补助金) . ”可知，④排在第三位，根据最后一段她鼓励人们专注于自己的目标，因此②排在最后，对照选项可知B符合。故选B。 （23-24九年级上·浙江杭州·期末）①“Class, this is John Evans,” Mrs. Parmele introduced him to us, trying to give him a warm welcome.

Could you? An American mom challenged her son to do just that, and he succeeded. Sivert Klefsaas is the youngest of Lorna Gold-strand Klefsaas’ four children, and his three older sisters all used social media growing up. It was influencing their feelings, as well as their friendships. So, Lorna thought, “If I could, I’d be willing to do whatever to keep Sivert off social media as long as I could, whatever that looks like.” And that’s where the idea for this challenge came from. It all started when Lorna heard about a similar “16 for 16 challenge” on the radio, where a mother called Amanda Green gave her daughter Teresa $1, 600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media. So, Lorna decided to create her own “18 for 18 challenge”. Not only did Sivert finally complete this challenge, but he would do it again, too. “It wasn’t too difficult to live without social media, and I didn’t think about it much during the finally complete this challenge,” Sivert said. “As time went on, it was more of a pride thing.” He had his friends keep him up to date on the latest information. Sivert added, “I got to avoid all the unnecessary things that were on there. It also meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead.” Now that he’s done with the challenge, Sivert joined Instagram (照片墙), but has no plans to let social media define (定义) him. “Social media is great. We certainly need to use it,” Sivert said. “But also make sure you spend time in other areas of your life, especially those personal relationships.” Still, Lorna is proud of her son’s success. “We are certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy using of it,” Lorna told CNN. 1．Who does the underlined word “she” refer to? A．Teresa Green. B．Amanda Green. C．Lorna Klefsaas. D．Sivert Klefsaas. 2．How did Sivert get the latest information? A．By surfing on the Internet. B．Through the radio. C．By talking with his friends. D．Through the social media. 3．What does Sivert think of social media now? A．Social media is a way to define people. B．It’s important to use social media healthily. C．It is too difficult to live without social media. D．Social media is great and he needs it all the time. 4．What can we learn about Lorna from the passage? A．She is a mother of a 16-year-old teenager. B．She helped his son successfully stay off the social media. C．She doesn’t really agree with the “16 for 16 challenge” on the radio. D．She is not against social media because her son succeeded in using it. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Lorna成功地使他的儿子六年不使用社交媒体事迹。 1．词义猜测题。根据“a mother called Amanda Green gave her daughter Teresa $1, 600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media.”可知妈妈给她的女儿Teresa1600美元，如果她能保持远离社交媒体，所以猜测其应是指女儿Teresa16岁时，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“He had his friends keep him up to date on the latest information”可知他让他的朋友随时告诉他最近的消息，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Social media is great.
