The Basketball Team
I was always tall for my age. When I started Grade 7, I was taller than all the other students in the school.
But I was never very fit. I just couldn’t do things in sports, like throwing a baseball. The ball would fall out of my hand onto the ground.
In Grade 8, we got a new coach (教练) at our school. He took one look at me and said, “This school needs a basketball team, and you are going to be the star!” I laughed, and my friends laughed even more.
“Amy doesn’t even know what a basketball is!” joked one of my friends. The new coach said, “Don’t worry. I’ll show you what she can do.”
Every day after school, I worked with the new coach. He told me that because I was so tall, my job would be to play centre. A centre is a player who stands under the net and puts rebounds (篮板球) into the net. Centres are always the tallest on the team.
I did push-ups and sit-ups. Most of all, I practised shooting (投篮). When I first started, I got zero of ten shots I took. But after a few weeks, I had about five of ten shots landing in the basket.
I still wasn’t very good. But I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down from the net. I became pretty good at putting the ball into the net.
The season came and went. We didn’t do very well, but I learned something about myself that season.
I’m in Grade 9 now and not good enough yet to make it to the high school team. But I think I will be next year.
It’s exciting to find something about yourself and to realize (意识到) that you are what you make of yourself

Recently, some people have problems about the purposefully addictive (上瘾的) designs of smartphones and social media, which make it hard for anyone to put them down, especially teens. Now, a new report in Emotion gives facts to back up what these people said.
According to the report, young people’s life enjoyment and happiness have been down since 2012, the year the number of teens having smartphones started improving very fast. The report also finds that teens’ psychological (心理的) health gets worse the more hours a week they spend on screens.
Jean Twenge is the lead writer of the report. She mentioned the connection between happiness and screen activities, such as social media, texting, gaming, and video chats. She also mentioned the connection between happiness and non-screen activities, including sports, reading, and face-to-face communications. She called the relationship between screen and non-screen activities “zero sum”—if you are doing one, it takes time away from the others.
Diane Tanman believes that her sons are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used to play games in fields, and it made them happier. These days, her sons get lost in online games. Many of the games have rewards (奖励) to keep players coming back. “It’s just junk food for the brain,” Tanman said.
Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-old son Leo is a fan of video games. After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games.
However, completely staying away from electronic devices (设备) doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily. After a daily hour of screen time, unhappiness rises because of the improving screen time.
Spending time in front of a screen is a common part of being a teenager. Many schools ask students to be online and to use iPads or other devices to do their work. But teachers and parents have also complained that technology (科技) can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for fun things instead of their studies.
If we discover how screen time affects young minds, we can help teens use technology better and protect their psychological health. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have some once in a while, but it shouldn’t be part of our everyday lives.
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Screen time at home is not as good as screen time at school.
B. Nearly an hour of screen time every day makes teens happiest.
C. Technology should be encouraged in classroom learning.
D. What teens do on the screen affects their happiness.
28. Why does the passage mention the examples of families with teens?
A. To prove the bad effect of the addictive designs of electronic devices.
B. To show parents have little control over their teens’ screen time.
C. To compare different-aged teens’ feelings about screen use.
D. To explain why electronic devices make teens feel happy.
29. What does the phrase “get in the way” probably mean in the passage?
A. Worrying about something B. Stopping something from happening
C. Discovering something new D. Encouraging something better
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Use of Electronic Devices: Should We Consider Teens’ Needs?
B. Teens’ Psychological Health: Why Is It Important?
C. Screen Time and Teens’ Study Performance
D. Screen Time and Teens’ Life Happiness
四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(每题2分,共8分)
Charlie Condell, an 18-year-old boy, has finished a bike trip around the world in just 318 days. He became the youngest British person to bike around the world.
To set a round-the-world biking trip record (纪录), a person must start and end in the same place and ride about 24,900 miles (40.072 kilometers). They are allowed to fly and take boats, but they must finish most of the trip on bikes.
Last July, Charlie left his home in Bristol, England. He was taking a year off before going to college and he liked the idea of the challenge (挑战).
He loved his bike and he named it “Colin”. Colin was very light, which made it easier for Charlie to put in long days with lots of miles. Some days Charlie rode as many as 125 miles (200 kilometers).
Charlie had many hard times. He didn’t have anyone travelling with him to help him. He carried his own gear (装备) and camped out most nights. He had to deal with rain, wind, bad drivers, and countless flat tyres (漏气的车胎). He says the trip taught him to believe in himself.
Charlie posted many pictures and notes of his trip on a website to record the trip, which shows a young man having the time of his life. He also made friends all along the way.
After biking over 10.998 miles (17,700 kilometers) through Europe, Asia, and Australia, something bad happened. He woke up one morning to find that his bike and all of his gear had been stolen (被偷). Charlie posted his story on the Internet. He soon had new clothes and a new bike with people’s help. He was on his way again.
Charlie went on his trip. Finally, on March 11, before his birthday, he returned to Bristol, England, where he started his trip nine months earlier.
Charlie will start college in the fall. For anyone planning to take on their own challenge, Charlie tells them. “Just step out of the door and keep on going till you’ve made it.”
31. How many days did it take Charlie to ride around the world?
___________________________________________

In Grade 8, we got a new coach (教练) at our school. He took one look at me and said, “This school needs a basketball team, and you are going to be the star!” I laughed, and my friends laughed even more.
“Amy doesn’t even know what a basketball is!” joked one of my friends. The new coach said, “Don’t worry. I’ll show you what she can do.”
Every day after school, I worked with the new coach. He told me that because I was so tall, my job would be to play centre. A centre is a player who stands under the net and puts rebounds (篮板球) into the net. Centres are always the tallest on the team.
I did push-ups and sit-ups. Most of all, I practised shooting (投篮). When I first started, I got zero of ten shots I took. But after a few weeks, I had about five of ten shots landing in the basket.
I still wasn’t very good. But I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down from the net. I became pretty good at putting the ball into the net.
The season came and went. We didn’t do very well, but I learned something about myself that season.
I’m in Grade 9 now and not good enough yet to make it to the high school team. But I think I will be next year.
It’s exciting to find something about yourself and to realize (意识到) that you are what you make of yourself.

Recently, some people have problems about the purposefully addictive (上瘾的) designs of smartphones and social media, which make it hard for anyone to put them down, especially teens. Now, a new report in Emotion gives facts to back up what these people said.
According to the report, young people’s life enjoyment and happiness have been down since 2012, the year the number of teens having smartphones started improving very fast. The report also finds that teens’ psychological (心理的) health gets worse the more hours a week they spend on screens.
Jean Twenge is the lead writer of the report. She mentioned the connection between happiness and screen activities, such as social media, texting, gaming, and video chats. She also mentioned the connection between happiness and non-screen activities, including sports, reading, and face-to-face communications. She called the relationship between screen and non-screen activities “zero sum”—if you are doing one, it takes time away from the others.
Diane Tanman believes that her sons are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used to play games in fields, and it made them happier. These days, her sons get lost in online games. Many of the games have rewards (奖励) to keep players coming back. “It’s just junk food for the brain,” Tanman said.
Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-old son Leo is a fan of video games. After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games.
However, completely staying away from electronic devices (设备) doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily. After a daily hour of screen time, unhappiness rises because of the improving screen time.
Spending time in front of a screen is a common part of being a teenager. Many schools ask students to be online and to use iPads or other devices to do their work. But teachers and parents have also complained that technology (科技) can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for fun things instead of their studies.
If we discover how screen time affects young minds, we can help teens use technology better and protect their psychological health. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have some once in a while, but it shouldn’t be part of our everyday lives.
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Screen time at home is not as good as screen time at school.
B. Nearly an hour of screen time every day makes teens happiest.
C. Technology should be encouraged in classroom learning.
D. What teens do on the screen affects their happiness.
28. Why does the passage mention the examples of families with teens?
A. To prove the bad effect of the addictive designs of electronic devices.
B. To show parents have little control over their teens’ screen time.
C. To compare different-aged teens’ feelings about screen use.
D. To explain why electronic devices make teens feel happy.
29. What does the phrase “get in the way” probably mean in the passage?
A. Worrying about something B. Stopping something from happening
C. Discovering something new D. Encouraging something better
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Use of Electronic Devices: Should We Consider Teens’ Needs?
B. Teens’ Psychological Health: Why Is It Important?
C. Screen Time and Teens’ Study Performance
D. Screen Time and Teens’ Life Happiness
【答案】27. B 28. A 29. B 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了智能手机和社交媒体的成瘾性设计对青少年心理健康和幸福感的影响,并通过研究报告和家庭案例佐证了屏幕时间与青少年幸福感之间的负相关关系。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily.”可知,每天使用电子设备少于1小时的青少年最幸福。选项B“每天近1小时的屏幕时间让青少年最幸福”与原文一致。故选B。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。文章第4-5段分别以Diane Tanman和Ed Lazzara的家庭为例,描述孩子沉迷电子游戏后情绪变差 (如“gets more upset and uncomfortable”),以此证明电子设备的成瘾性设计对青少年的负面影响。选项A“证明电子设备成瘾设计的负面影响”符合原文意图。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章“technology can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for fun things instead of their studies”可知,当青少年用设备娱乐而非学习时,科技会“阻碍”学习。选项B“阻止某事发生” (即阻碍) 最贴近语境。故选B。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。全文围绕屏幕时间与青少年幸福感的关系展开 (如第2段“teens’ psychological health gets worse the more hours...on screens”,第6段“unhappiness rises because of...screen time”),选项D“屏幕时间与青少年的生活幸福感”全面概括主题。故选D。
四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(每题2分,共8分)
Charlie Condell, an 18-year-old boy, has finished a bike trip around the world in just 318 days. He became the youngest British person to bike around the world.
To set a round-the-world biking trip record (纪录), a person must start and end in the same place and ride about 24,900 miles (40.072 kilometers). They are allowed to fly and take boats, but they must finish most of the trip on bikes.
Last July, Charlie left his home in Bristol, England. He was taking a year off before going to college and he liked the idea of the challenge (挑战).
He loved his bike and he named it “Colin”. Colin was very light, which made it easier for Charlie to put in long days with lots of miles. Some days Charlie rode as many as 125 miles (200 kilometers).
Charlie had many hard times. He didn’t have anyone travelling with him to help him. He carried his own gear (装备) and camped out most nights. He had to deal with rain, wind, bad drivers, and countless flat tyres (漏气的车胎). He says the trip taught him to believe in himself.
Charlie posted many pictures and notes of his trip on a website to record the trip, which shows a young man having the time of his life. He also made friends all along the way.
After biking over 10.998 miles (17,700 kilometers) through Europe, Asia, and Australia, something bad happened. He woke up one morning to find that his bike and all of his gear had been stolen (被偷). Charlie posted his story on the Internet. He soon had new clothes and a new bike with people’s help. He was on his way again.
Charlie went on his trip. Finally, on March 11, before his birthday, he returned to Bristol, England, where he started his trip nine months earlier.
Charlie will start college in the fall. For anyone planning to take on their own challenge, Charlie tells them. “Just step out of the door and keep on going till you’ve made it.”
