Researchers say the findings give parents and children a threshold for using entertainment-related technology-no more than one hour daily on school days and four hours a day on weekends. "Interactive technology is widely used to improve children's educational access and achievement,"said lead author Vivien."During the COVID-19 pandemic,technology is important for remote learning.But there's a growing concern that too much technology use, particularly for entertainment,may affect children's educational development by holding them back from learning activities." In the research,about 10,000 first-year middle school students were surveyed and followed.Their average age was 13.5 years.The results showed that children who used the Internet for entertainment four or more hours daily were four times more likely to skip school than those who didn't.Boys used interactive technology for entertainment more than girls.Boys also performed worse and showed lower school engagement levels than girls. "Such findings are important,particularly in the recent online learning in countries throughout the world,"said Vivien."In a learning environment mixed with the Internet,it is easy for children to move across educational and entertainment platforms during learning to other activities." Vivien said children in study who used a bit of technology experienced less boredom at school,potentially due to the positive effects of participation in social media for students' relationship building and advancing children's cognitive (development. 试卷第3页，共8页 The findings suggest that parents place time limits on their children's interactive technology use,and that parents and teachers should help children to develop effective time management and self-regulation skills to reduce their dependence on technology. 28.What's the finding of the study? A.The Internet is important for children's learning. B.More than an hour online a day hurts the learning. C.School kids should keep away from the Internet. D.Staying online does more harm to boys than girls. 29.What does the underlined word "threshold"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Punishment. B.Reward. C.Guideline. D.Target. 30.What conclusion did Vivien draw from the study? A.Children under 13 should be kept from online B.Schools have the duty to limit online lessons. C.Online learning helps children manage time. D.A bit use of technology is helpful to children 31.Where is this text most likely from? A.An educational journal. B.An entertainment magazine. C.Atechnology report. D.A tour guidebook. D The human body possesses an efficient defense system to battle with flu viruses.The immune system protects against the attack of harmful microbes by producing chemicals called antibodies,which are programmed to destroy a specific type of microbe.They travel in the blood and search the body for invaders ()When they find an invasive microbe,antibodies attack and destroy any cell that contains the virus.However,flu viruses can be a terrible enemy.Even if your body successfully fights against the viruses, with their ability to evolve rapidly,your body may have no protection or immunity from the new ones. Your body produces white blood cells to protect you against infectious diseases.Your body can detect invading microbes in your bloodstream because they carry antigens in their proteins.White blood cells in your immune system,such as T cells,can sense antigens in the viruses in your cells.Once your body finds an antigen,it takes immediate action in many different ways.For example,T cells produce more antibodies,call in cells that eat microbes,and destroy cells that are infected with a virus. One of the best things about the immune system is that it will always remember a microbe it has fought before and know just how to fight it again in the future.Your body can leam to fight so well that your immune system can completely destroy a virus before you feel sick at all However,even the most cautious people can become infected.Fortunately,medical scientists have developed vaccines ()which are weakened or dead flu viruses that enter a person's body before the person gots sick,These viruses cause the body to produce antibodies to attack and destroy the strong viruses that may invade during flu season. 32.Why does flu pose a threat to the immune system? 试卷第4页，共8页 A.Microbes contain large quantities of viruses. B.Antibodies are too weak to attack flu viruses. C.The body has few effective ways to tackle flu D.It's hard to keep pace with the evolution of viruses. 33.What does the underlined word "antigens"refer to in paragraph 2? A.The cell protecting your body from viruses. B.The matter serving as the indicator of viruses. C.The antibodies helping to fight against viruses. D.The substance destroying cells infected with viruses. 34.How do vaccines defend the body against the flu viruses? A.They strengthen the body's immune system. B.They battle against weakened or dead viruses. C.They help produce antibodies to wipe out viruses. D.They expose the body to viruses during flu season. 35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A.Antibodies Save Our Health B.Vaccines Are of Great Necessity C.Infectious Flu Viruses Are Around D.Human Body Fights Against Flu Viruses 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique.It involves explaining what you're learning to others.By teaching what you've learned from memory,you engage in active recall.36. It also ensures that you understand the topic,because you can only explain an idea if you truly understand it.The technique consists of four repeatable steps. To begin with,choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand.37. The more interested you are,the faster you'll grasp it.Moreover,a personally interesting topic will keep you motivated and engaged. 38.Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old.If you'd rather avoid actually teaching someone,you can just teach it to an imaginary audience.But it works much better if you use a real person.They'll be able to let you know when something isn't clear. While teaching,you may discover gaps in your understanding.39. Review your notes,reread books,or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving forward. Now that you fully grasp the concept,test your understanding by trying to teach it to another person.This will help you identify any remaining areas of uncertainty you need to revisit. The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to learn.40.You need to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else.However,with great efforts in mastering this method,you'll see your learning results improve quicker than ever before. 试卷第5页，共8页 A.It is mentally demanding. B.This helps the information stick in your mind better. C.Teach it to a five-year-old,who would give you direct feedback. D.Your curiosity about it will determine the pace of your learning. E.Once you have chosen a topic,you can teach it to someone else. F.Active engagement plays a key role in promoting deeper learning. G.When this happens,refer back to the original material for the missing pieces. 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中，选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项。 Grace is an average young girl in the class.But she has a deep love for writing.She would spend countless hours 41 stories and poems in her notebook,lost in the world of her 42.
