Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[语篇解读] 进入高中生活的第一天,你是紧张还是兴奋?你是否与文章中这些来自南非的高中新生有着相似的心情?
1.B 细节理解题。根据Abigail Ragwasha讲述的经历中的“I found making friends very difficult”可知,他认为交朋友很难,故B项正确。
2.D 细节理解题。根据文中四个青少年的叙述中提到的nice, good 可知,他们在高中的第一天都不错,故D项正确。
3.C 主旨大意题。短文叙述的是四个高中新生在校第一天的经历,故C项正确。
B
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从童年到青少年时期的故事,特别是作者在移民到美国后所经历的变化和成长。
4.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.(那个冬夜,我和父母从姨妈家回来,母亲说我们可能很快就要动身去美国了。)”以及第二段“When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see — the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.(当我们离开的时候,我想到了所有我要去看的地方——那些我只从书本和图片上知道的陌生而神奇的地方。)”可知,作者是从书本和图片上了解美国的。故选C。
5.C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.(我不记得自己又为这个原因哭泣了。事实上,当我和我的朋友和亲戚说再见的时候,我想我哭得很少。)”可推知,当作者出发前往美国时,作者感到很担忧。故选C。
6.D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.(我在家庭中的责任增加了很多,因为我比家里的其他人都懂英语。我写信、填表格、在与移民局官员面谈时做翻译、带祖父母去看医生并在那里做翻译,甚至还和公司代表讨论电话费问题。)”可推知,由于作者比家里的其他人都懂英语,所以作者承担了更多的责任,她帮助家人解决很多问题。故选D。
7.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.(从我的经历中,我学到了一个重要的规则:几乎所有常见的麻烦最终都会消失!只要你不放弃,最后一定会有好事发生,再等一会儿!我相信我的生活会好起来的,尽管它不会那么容易。)”可推知,作者认为只要一个人不放弃,就一定会有好事发生。故选D。

These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 fulltime students from all over Florida. (去年,Optima Academy Online,一所全虚拟的学校,提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同,吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知,Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C。
9.B 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions of VR will doubtlessly be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问,未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用,但唯一的问题是:出于什么目的,以什么速度?有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里,不与其他孩子进行社交,这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知,本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B。
10.C 推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15yearold students in poor schools have access to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善,可能会产生相反的效果,将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥,贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业,而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知,墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C。
11.A 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling selfmotivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK's Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示,如果使用得当,技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源,并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知,Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习,使教育多元化。故选A。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Schools in South Africa opened on Wednesday. For a number of children, this day meant the beginning of a new life. Some went to Grade R, others primary school, while some went to high school for the very first time.
Some high school students shared their experiences with us.
I have to be honest that I was scared (害怕的) of starting high school. This morning I didn't even want to come to school, but I just forced myself to. I'm happy the day is over. I managed to even make new friends and I believe I will have a bright future.
—Tlou Matsetela
My first day at high school was very nice because I managed to make new friends and meet new teachers. Though I was scared of having to meet unfamiliar (不熟悉的) people at first, the experience turned out well.
—Thandaza Nkuna
My first day at high school was good. It wasn't exactly what I had expected it to be. It was a new place and lots of things were different. Our timetable was strange, we had new teachers and a new classroom and we were treated differently. But I feel the rest of the year will be okay.
—Shavir Vallabh
My first day was nice and I enjoyed the classes, but I found making friends very difficult. High school is not what I expected. I expected that I would just go up to people and ask them to be my friends, but when I saw people hanging out, I got scared of getting close to them. I'm not a shy person, but today I was shy. Going forward, I expect to get very high marks which I will work for and I also expect love and respect (尊敬) from the rest of my schoolmates.
—Abigail Ragwasha

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost — having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
4.How did the author get to know America?

Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an allvirtual school,delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 fulltime students from all over Florida. In the progress of homeschooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital checkins.
Future versions of VR will doubtlessly be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15yearold students in poor schools have access to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling selfmotivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK's Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
8.What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A.It has been widely accepted.
B.It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C.It provides various online courses.
D.It requires parents to help with checkins.
9.What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A.The development. B.The concerns.
C.The advantages. D.The popularity.
10.Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A.Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B.local schooling systems are not fully developed
C.technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D.family backgrounds shape people's views on education
11.What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A.It enriches learning. B.It's irreplaceable.
C.It needs improving. D.It's undervalued.
