Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app.
Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.”
The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.
Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said.
His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.
He said learning computer programming to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.”
4. What do we know about Noah?
A. He began to learn Chinese at 11. B. He failed his first Chinese exam.
C. He likes teaching Chinese to people. D. He gets a lot from learning Chinese.
5. What are included in Noah’s app?
A. Advertisements. B. Pieces of world news.
C. Suggestions for memorizing words. D. Ways of writing Chinese characters.
6. What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation?
A. Look for a job. B. Attend university.
C. Develop a new app. D. Learn more languages.
7. Which of the following can best describe Noah?
A. Curious and creative. B. Humorous and honest.
C. Courageous and caring. D. Outgoing and outspoken.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】

That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app.(12年级学生诺亚·利特尔已经参加了他的第一次中文考试,他说这是“我做过的最简单的考试”。这种观点并不奇怪,因为这位Wagga高中的学生热爱语言,以至于他开发了一款中文翻译应用。)”可知,Noah热爱学习语言,他学习中文的经历促使他开发了一款中文翻译应用程序;由第三段中“The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.(这位17岁的少年大约在五年前开始自学汉语,然后在11年级开始上远程教育课程。他的语言能力在他在当地一家中餐馆的兼职工作中也派上了用场,他为厨师和顾客翻译菜单。)”可知,学习汉语使Noah在兼职的餐厅更好的为客人服务。由此推知,汉语学习让Noah获益良多。故选D。

It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. ‘I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,’ he said.(诺亚说他还掌握了其他七种语言的基本知识。正是在自学语言的时候,诺亚有了翻译工具的想法。他说:‘我决定做一个自己的应用,因为周围的应用不多——所有其他的应用都充斥着广告,翻译功能也不够强大。’)”以及第五段“His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.(他的应用程序还包括每日一词功能、如何写汉字的课程,以及重要中国新闻的新闻推送。)”可知,Noah自学了汉语并掌握了其他七种语言的基本知识,并结合自己自学语言的经历设计了一款翻译应用程序。由此可知,Noah不仅求知欲强,而且很有创造力。故选A。

Too much screen time for kids can lead to poor health the American Heart Association (AHA) says. A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle ,increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的).
The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged.
“Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier Research Centre,in a statement.
Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep.
Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness.
Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12,iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed.
12. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2?
A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly.
C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance.
13. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior?
A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food.
C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness.
14. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’s study?
A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It led to children’s obesity.
C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It negatively influenced moods.
15. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem?
A. Reduce its products’ battery life.
B. Provide a screen time feature.
C. Introduce “digital well-being” tools.
D. Add a “wind down” option to its products.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。孩子在电子设备上花太多的时间会变胖,一些企业为减少人们使用手机的时间计划引进新工具。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前句“Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped,(虽然儿童和青少年观看电视的人数有所下降,)”和转折词but可知,智能手机和平板电脑的使用却在激增。surged与dropped意思相反,所以surged为“激增”之意。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen(主要是因为孩子们在屏幕前吃饭时不会注意到自己已经饱了)”可知,屏幕前吃饭会影响儿童的饱足感。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. (去年,圣地亚哥州立大学(SDSU)研究人员的一项研究发现,每天在屏幕前呆5个小时或更长时间的青少年中,有近一半的人经历了很长时间的绝望或悲伤。)”可知,该研究显示,花费太多时间在屏幕前会对情绪有消极的影响。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As for iOS 12, iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices.(至于iOS 12,苹果手机将包含屏幕时间功能,用户可以控制和回顾自己在移动设备上的时间。)”可知,苹果手机增加了屏幕时间功能。故选B。

Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app.
Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.”
The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.
Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said.
His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.
He said learning computer programming to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.”
4. What do we know about Noah?
A. He began to learn Chinese at 11. B. He failed his first Chinese exam.
C. He likes teaching Chinese to people. D. He gets a lot from learning Chinese.
5. What are included in Noah’s app?
A. Advertisements. B. Pieces of world news.
C. Suggestions for memorizing words. D. Ways of writing Chinese characters.
6. What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation?
A. Look for a job. B. Attend university.
C. Develop a new app. D. Learn more languages.
7. Which of the following can best describe Noah?
A. Curious and creative. B. Humorous and honest.

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile (易碎的) items, like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire outbreaks during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris (碎片), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
8. Which place is the best one to put your glass cup?
A On the cupboard. B. On the ground near your bed.
C. On the sofa near your bed. D. On the desk near your bed.
9. During the earthquake, people are advised to _____.
A. go out of the building at once B. drive to a safe place quickly
C. take shelter under a tree D. turn off electricity and gas immediately
10. What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?
A. Tap on a pipe or wall for help.
B. Cover their mouths with handkerchiefs.
C. Light a match for warmth.
D Use a whistle for help.

Too much screen time for kids can lead to poor health the American Heart Association (AHA) says. A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle ,increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的).
The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged.
“Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier Research Centre,in a statement.
Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep.
Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness.
Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12,iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed.
12. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2?
A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly.
C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance.
13. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior?
A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food.
C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness.
14. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’s study?
A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It led to children’s obesity.
C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It negatively influenced moods.
15. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem?
A. Reduce its products’ battery life.
B. Provide a screen time feature.
C. Introduce “digital well-being” tools.
D. Add a “wind down” option to its products.
