Parallels lets you use desktop apps on your phone You'd think most applications would have created a mobile app by now — but many companies still use desktop apps exclusively. Now Parallels Access lets you access them on your smartphone. All you need to do is download the app, then connect Parallels' Applification™ to your computer, so you can access important files and other apps with a single click. You can easily use your apps in full-screen mode, using intuitive(直观) touch controls to work faster than before. Usually,Parallels Access is $19.99, but you can get it now for $9.99. Take your lighting to the next level with this smart switch You probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about your home’s lighting, but it’s important: the way that you control your lighting affects the environment (and your electric bill). This WiFi wall switch is controlled via a companion app on your smartphone, so you can control connected lights or ceiling fans from anywhere. Usually, the Meross WiFi Wall Light Switch costs $45.99, but right now it’s on sale for $39.99 . Shoot beautifully clear videos with this smartphone gimbal If you're interested in shooting professional-quality videos and photos, you don't have to spend a fortune to take a beautifully composed shot: just use this Rigiet Smartphone Gimbal instead. A gimbal is a support for your camera (in this case, your smartphone) that allows it to pivot（移动）, and automatically detect and adjust to the position that you want to film in. Unlike any other camera hardware you might own, this one comes with its own accompanying app. Usually, this Rigiet Smartphone Gimbal is $269, but you can get it now for $109.99. 1. What do these products have in common? A. They save us energy. B. They make us work faster than before. C. They make our life easier and more comfortable. D. We have to download their apps before they are used. 2. Which product gives you the best discount? A. The Rigiet Smartphone Gimbal. B. The Meross WiFi Wall Light Switch. C. .The Parallels Access. D. The Desktop Apps. 3. In which section can we see the article in a newspaper? A. Education. B. Science. C. Society. D. Culture. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了三款今年最新的能够使得生活更加方便的发明。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句You can easily use your apps in full-screen mode, using intuitive(直观的) touch controls to work faster than before.（你可以轻松地在全屏模式下使用你的应用程序，使用直观的触摸控制比以前更快地工作。）；第五段This WiFi wall switch is controlled via a companion app on your smartphone, so you can control connected lights or ceiling fans from anywhere.（这个WiFi墙壁开关是通过智能手机上的一个配套应用程序控制的，所以你可以从任何地方控制连接的灯或吊扇。）与倒数第二段第一句A gimbal is a support for your camera (in this case, your smartphone) that allows it to pivot（移动）, and automatically detect and adjust to the position that you want to film in.综合上述描述可知这些产品的共同点都是使得生活更加方便和舒适。故选C。s 【2题详解】 细节理解题。对比三款产品可知，第一款产品便宜了19.99-9.99=10美元；第二款产品45.99-39.99=6美元；第三款产品269-109.99=159.01美元，是三款产品中折扣最多的，因此选A。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一句Let’s catch a glimpse of the latest inventions this year.与文章主要介绍了三款发明可知，文章可以在杂志的新闻版面看到。故选B。 B On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fear greatly: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins — a girl and a boy — were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. “I saw him breath, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still breathing, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.” Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. “I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.” Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. “We were trying to entice him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.” Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again — and then he started breathing. Finally, the couple’s lost boy had made it. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.” 4. In the passage, which of the following is true? A. Kate gave birth to twins after only 14 weeks of pregnancy in 2010. B. Neither of the twins weighed more than 3 pounds each when they were born. C. The boy had no heartbeat when he was born. D. Two minutes after the twins were born, the parents heard the boy wasn’t going to make it. 5. The underlined word “entice” in the sixth paragraph refers to ________. A. attract B. order C. invite D. beg 6. It can be inferred from the text that ________. A. the doctors were tired of saving the boy. B. hearing the sad news, the couple felt so hopeless. C. Jamie came back to life and grew up healthily. D. Emily was so happy after she heard the story. 7. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Life-Giving Touch B. The Boy Who Lived C. Power of Parents’ Love D. A Medical Miracle 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Kate和David的双胞胎孩子早产，其中男孩生命垂危，医生都放弃了治疗。但是Kate和David没有放弃，他们试图用肌肤接触温暖孩子，和他说话，奇迹终于出现了，奄奄一息的男孩奇迹般地活了下来。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Their twins — a girl and a boy — were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each.(他们的双胞胎——一个女孩和一个男孩，出生时间相隔两分钟，早产14周，体重仅超过两磅)”可知，这对双胞胎出生时体重都不超过3磅。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.(我们解释了他的名字，他有一个双胞胎兄弟，他必须要照顾，我们为了他付出了很多努力)”可知，Kate和David没有放弃，试图吸引他留下来。由此可知，划线词entice与attract“吸引”意思接近。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again — and then he started breathing.(然后奇迹发生了。杰米又喘了一口气——然后他开始呼吸了)”和最后一段中的“Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth.(八年后，杰米和他的妹妹艾米丽健康快乐。奥格夫妇最近才告诉孩子们他们出生的故事)”可推知，杰米活过来了，健康地长大了。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition.(初为父母的他们希望他们的儿子尽可能地温暖，并希望通过皮肤接触可以改善他的状况)”和倒数第二段“Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again — and then he started breathing. Finally, the couple’s lost boy had made it.(然后奇迹发生了。杰米又喘了一口气——然后他开始呼吸了。最后，这对夫妇快要失去了的孩子成功了)”可知，这对夫妇与孩子的肢体接触让孩子活了下来。由此可知，Life-giving Touch(赋予生命的触摸)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。 C Well, to pick up where we left off last time. I’m certain that you know all too well the dangers hiding on the World Wide Web. And whether it’s for schoolwork, entertainment, or just socializing with friends, the Internet will surely be a major part of your child’s life. So, it’s important to secure their online stays. It’s not the easiest thing, but keeping open lines of communication is primary. Let them know they can share their online activities with you. Talk to them about their online presence as early as possible, ideally before they begin to use email, social media, or a smartphone. Discuss what they find interesting online and learning from them about popular websites and apps; this will create understanding and allow you to identify potential risks. Next, monitor without spying. Most kids learn to understand boundaries, like respecting others’ personal space, or not opening the cookie jar without asking. Internet use is no different. It’s helpful for kids to have ground rules as to which websites they can visit,which apps they can use, and what they can share online. Remind them that if they feel uneasy with anything that occurs online, they need to alert an adult immediately. How you handle your kids’ internet usage will depend in large part on their age. There are sites and browsing tools meant for younger kids, such as YouTube Kids,which aims to provide a safe online experience for children.Older kids may be allowed more freedom since they want to network and need to use the internet for information-gathering. But you can set boundaries that feel right for you. Just limit access appropriately. Allowing your children to make good decisions online teaches them responsibility, shows that you trust them, and reminds them that rules may be tightened if they disobey them. Stay tuned. 8. What might be talked about last time? A. The history of the World Wide Web. B. How the Internet influences people. C. The potential dangers of the Internet. D. What information the Internet offers. 9. What does Paragraph 2 suggest people do? A. Never be narrow-minded. B. Communicate effectively. C. Share personal information. D. Identify with your children. 10. What does “alert” underlined in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Inform. B. Reveal. C. Look after. D. Tell off. 11. What is the best title for the text? A What Is Hidden on the Net? B. How to Make Online Stays? C. Be a Smarter Internet User D. Keep Your Kids Safe Online 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要提供了“如何保障孩子网上活动安全”的几条建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Well, to pick up where we left off last time. I’m certain that you know all too well the dangers hiding on the World Wide Web.(好吧，继续上节课的内容。我敢肯定，你太了解万维网上隐藏的危险了)”可推断，上节课可能讨论了网络的潜在危险。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s not the easiest thing, but keeping open lines of communication is primary. (这不是最简单的事情，但保持沟通渠道畅通是最重要的)”及本段内容可知，本段主要建议人们和孩子进行有效的沟通。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“Remind them that if they feel uneasy with anything that occurs online,( 提醒他们，如果他们对网上发生的任何事情感到不安)”可知，提醒孩子，网上任何异样的事情，都要立即告知大人。由此推知，划线词alert为“告知、通知”之意。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“ So, it’s important to secure their online stays.( 因此，确保他们在网上的安全是很重要的)”及全文，文章主要提供了“如何保障孩子网上活动安全”的几条建议。由此可知，“Keep Your Kids Safe Online(保证你的孩子安全上网)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 D While most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome. The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions. “Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound. Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well. “Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,” said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up. The researchers said our brain is “very much concerned” with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception (认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong. “Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions.” said Professor Haggard. “We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things.” 12. People who don’t take the blame for their actions . A. always try to hide their shame or embarrassment. B. are only willing to take the credit when things go well C. feel less responsible for negative than for positive outcomes D. are less aware of what to do when a negative outcome happens 13. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Our level of responsibility can be strongly affected by the outcomes of our actions. B. When something bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem. C. People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence. D. Participants were asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing the sound. 14. How is the passage developed? A. By giving examples. B. By quoting research findings. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By providing data. 15. According to the passage, a person who is concerned with reward is . A. awkward B. natural C. absurd D. stubborn 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们为什么不愿意承认错误也不愿意承担责任的原因——因为我们的大脑更在意我们的行动所获得的好的结果，以及最终获得的奖励，却很少关注不好的结果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes(我们的研究结果表明，人们对消极结果的责任感可能比对积极结果的责任感更少)”可知，研究结果说明相对于积极的结果，对不好的后果人们不愿意承担相应的责任。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes.(研究人员发现，根据结果，个人会经历不同程度的责任)”可知，人们的责任心是受到我们行动的结果的影响的。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,(我们的研究结果表明，人们对消极结果的责任感可能比对积极结果的责任感更少)”，第四段第一句“Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes.(研究人员发现，根据结果，个人会经历不同程度的责任)”以及第五段“Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently.(实际上，我们发现我们经历负面结果的方式不同，而不仅仅是复述的方式不同)”推知，作者引用了研究成果来组织全文。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“The researchers said our brain is “very much concerned” with reward, as good results are key to survival.(研究人员表示，我们的大脑“非常关注”奖励，因为好的结果是生存的关键)”推知，一个人关心奖励是很正常的行为。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment rather than in a health club or gym. ____16____. Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible. ____17____. For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot running or walking with a big arena to be more desirable than running or walking with shoes. A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on the fresh air, sunshine and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing used during the exercise. ____18____. Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise. Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people's blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem. ____19____. Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. ____20____. Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage. A. A green gym uses as little equipment as possible B. Spirits are also believed to be positively affected C. Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ D. Green exercise includes a range of activities exposed to nature E. So riding a bicycle in the forest can be called a type of green exercise F. It usually doesn't use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym G. Some point out that many health clubs are built to make full use of natural light 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的运动方式——绿色运动，不同于在使用健身房的健身设施，更强调与大自然的接触，表明其利弊。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment rather than in a health club or gym.（绿色运动是一个术语，用于描述在自然环境中进行的任何类型的体育锻炼，而不是在健身俱乐部或健身房中。）”开头介绍绿色运动不同于在健身房的锻炼，空格处承上启下，以及后文的“Instead,”表明空格处的意义与后文相反。因此，空格处应继续说明绿色运动与健身房运动的不同之处，F项“It usually doesn't use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym (它通常不使用健身房里常见的健身器材)”符合文意，提到了“gym”，与上下文一致。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot running or walking with a big arena to be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.（例如，一些人认为，真正自然的运动体验要求人只穿天然纤维制成的衣服。其他人则认为赤脚跑步或在大型竞技场上行走，比穿着鞋子跑步或行走更可取。）”从两个方面举例说明了两种不同的绿色运动方式。因此空格处总结性说明不同的人，对于什么是真正的绿色运动观点不同。C项“Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ (人们对什么是真正的绿色运动意见不一)”符合文意。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise.（同样，使用标准设备和防护服爬山也将被视为绿色运动。）”表明什么样的锻炼会被视为绿色运动，由“Similarly,”可知，空格处也是在介绍绿色运动的类型，而E项中“can be called a type of green exercise”与后文中的“also be considered a green exercise”结构一致，都是在介绍绿色运动的类型，E项“So riding a bicycle in the forest can be called a type of green exercise (因此，在森林里骑自行车可以被称为一种绿色运动)”符合文意。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据前文“The interaction with nature helps to lower peoples’ blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem.（与大自然的互动有助于降低人们的血压，更新他们的思维，并真正地提高他们的自尊。）”介绍了绿色运动对于身体、头脑和心理健康的优点，而B项“Spirits are also believed to be positively affected (人们认为，精神也会受到积极影响)”承接上文，接着说明了绿色运动在精神上的积极影响。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym.（并非所有人都认为绿色运动比在健身俱乐部或健身房锻炼更有益。）”可知，该段在介绍另一种观点，指出使用健身器材锻炼也有好处，以及“Meanwhile, …”后文说明使用健身器材有利于增强心肺功能。因此，空格处也是在讲述健身俱乐部或者健身房的优点，G项“Some point out that many health clubs are built to make full use of natural light (一些人指出，许多健身俱乐部都是为了充分利用自然光而建的)”符合文意，其中的“many health clubs”与上文的“in a health club or gym”上下一致。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It took about three weeks for me to become mute.

In the book, there is a specially planet named B612 belonged to the little boy. There was also a red rose with a sweet smell. Every day the little boy cleans three volcanoes on a planet so that they won’t erupt or destroy the roses. It is a peaceful and lonely planet. After reading this book, I really want to take a flight off to the planet. Then I would like make friends with the boy and her rose. 【答案】1. who→whose 2. specially→special 3. belonged→belonging 4. was→is 5. a→the 6. roses→rose 7. and→but 8. 删除flight后的off 9. 在like后加to 10. her→his 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者在文章中介绍了自己上周读的一本书的内容及读后的感想。 【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意：上周，我读了一本书，书中的主角是一个金发小男孩。分析句子可知，句子为限制性定语从句，先行词为“book”，在从句中作定语，即“the book’s main character is…”，故应用关系代词“whose”引导从句。故将who改为whose。 2.考查形容词。句意：在这本书中，有一颗特殊的行星B612属于这个小男孩。分析句子可知，“planet”为名词，前面应用形容词修饰，“specially”为副词，对应的形容词为“special”，意为“特殊的”。故将specially改为special。 3.考查非谓语动词。句意：在这本书中，有一颗特殊的行星B612属于这个小男孩。分析句子可知，句中有系动词“is”且句中无连词，故应用“belong”的非谓语动词形式，“belong”意为“属于”，动词词性，“planet”和“belong”之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用“belong”的现在分词“belonging”，作后置定语。故将belonged改为belonging。 4.考查时态。句意：还有一朵带有芳香气味的红玫瑰。根据句意和上文“there is”可知，句中陈述的是书中的客观事实，应用“there be”句型的一般现在时，“a red rose”为可数名词单数，故“be”应用“is”。故将was改为is。 5.考查冠词。句意：小男孩每天清理行星上的三座火山，这样它们就不会喷发或摧毁玫瑰。根据句意可知，句中“planet”特指上文提到的名字为“B612”的行星，由此可知，应用定冠词“the”修饰“planet”，表示特指。故将a改为the。 6.考查名词。句意：小男孩每天清理行星上的三座火山，这样它们就不会喷发或摧毁玫瑰。根据上文“a red rose”可知，行星上只有一朵红玫瑰，由此可知，应用“rose”的单数形式，“roses”为复数形式，不符合语境。故将roses改为rose。 7.考查连词。句意：这是一个和平但孤独的星球。分析句子可知，“peaceful”和“lonely”之间为转折关系，表示“和平但孤独的”，故应用连词“but”连接，表转折。故将and改为but。 8.考查固定短语。句意：读完这本书后，我真的很想乘飞机去这个星球。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定短语“take a flight to…”，意为“乘飞机去……”，句中“off”多余。故删除flight后的off。 9.考查固定短语。句意：然后我想和这个男孩及他的玫瑰交朋友。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定短语“would like to do sth.”，意为“想要做某事”，应在like后加不定式符号to。故在like后加to。 10.考查代词。句意：然后我想和这个男孩及他的玫瑰交朋友。根据句中“boy”可知，住在星球上的是个男孩，由此可知，应该用形容词性物主代词“his”修饰“rose”，表示“他的玫瑰”。故将her改为his。 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 52. 上周日，你校组织了成人礼（coming-of-age ceremony）植树活动，同学们种下了一片“成人林”。请你为学校报社写一篇短文，介绍这次活动。内容包括： 1.植树过程； 2.个人感受。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Last Sunday, a tree planting activity for our coming-of-age ceremony was held, in which our whole school participated.

B On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fear greatly: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins — a girl and a boy — were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. “I saw him breath, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still breathing, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.” Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. “I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.” Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. “We were trying to entice him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.” Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again — and then he started breathing. Finally, the couple’s lost boy had made it. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.” 4. In the passage, which of the following is true? A. Kate gave birth to twins after only 14 weeks of pregnancy in 2010. B. Neither of the twins weighed more than 3 pounds each when they were born. C. The boy had no heartbeat when he was born. D. Two minutes after the twins were born, the parents heard the boy wasn’t going to make it. 5. The underlined word “entice” in the sixth paragraph refers to ________. A. attract B. order C. invite D. beg 6. It can be inferred from the text that ________. A. the doctors were tired of saving the boy. B. hearing the sad news, the couple felt so hopeless. C. Jamie came back to life and grew up healthily. D. Emily was so happy after she heard the story. 7. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Life-Giving Touch B. The Boy Who Lived C. Power of Parents’ Love D. A Medical Miracle C Well, to pick up where we left off last time. I’m certain that you know all too well the dangers hiding on the World Wide Web. And whether it’s for schoolwork, entertainment, or just socializing with friends, the Internet will surely be a major part of your child’s life. So, it’s important to secure their online stays. It’s not the easiest thing, but keeping open lines of communication is primary. Let them know they can share their online activities with you. Talk to them about their online presence as early as possible, ideally before they begin to use email, social media, or a smartphone. Discuss what they find interesting online and learning from them about popular websites and apps; this will create understanding and allow you to identify potential risks. Next, monitor without spying. Most kids learn to understand boundaries, like respecting others’ personal space, or not opening the cookie jar without asking. Internet use is no different. It’s helpful for kids to have ground rules as to which websites they can visit,which apps they can use, and what they can share online. Remind them that if they feel uneasy with anything that occurs online, they need to alert an adult immediately. How you handle your kids’ internet usage will depend in large part on their age. There are sites and browsing tools meant for younger kids, such as YouTube Kids,which aims to provide a safe online experience for children.Older kids may be allowed more freedom since they want to network and need to use the internet for information-gathering. But you can set boundaries that feel right for you. Just limit access appropriately. Allowing your children to make good decisions online teaches them responsibility, shows that you trust them, and reminds them that rules may be tightened if they disobey them. Stay tuned. 8. What might be talked about last time? A. The history of the World Wide Web. B. How the Internet influences people. C. The potential dangers of the Internet. D. What information the Internet offers. 9. What does Paragraph 2 suggest people do? A. Never be narrow-minded. B. Communicate effectively. C. Share personal information. D. Identify with your children. 10. What does “alert” underlined in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Inform. B. Reveal. C. Look after. D. Tell off. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. What Is Hidden on the Net? B. How to Make Online Stays? C. Be a Smarter Internet User D. Keep Your Kids Safe Online D While most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome. The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions. “Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound. Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well. “Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,” said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up. The researchers said our brain is “very much concerned” with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception (认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong. “Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions.” said Professor Haggard. “We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things.” 12.
