第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Virginia — especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using a smartphone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first IOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also receive $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, programme and test the app. As for her next app, Medha is not certain. She temporarily has her app-development tasks on hold because she's busy teaching herself AI to help deal with improper words on the media. Yes, she knows that there are teams of engineers possibly doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.”

(二)阅读七选五
Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. 5 Some are shy in real life but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can cause problems, such as bullying (恃强凌弱) or arguments. 6 But there are also a few people who use the Internet for illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
7 Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and the chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕的).
8 So it's likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards. 9 Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩略语) such as: atb (all the best), bbfn (bye bye for now), Idk (I don't know), xlnt (excellent).
A.Going online is great fun.
B.Computer studies are part of schoolwork now.
C.The language of chat is strange to many parents, too.
D.There are some websites that are not suitable for the children.
E.To keep children safe, your management must cover the family computer.
F.They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world.
G.Surfing the Internet takes up too much of the time that should be spent on lessons.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子们通过手机或网络与他人建立联系的情况,并建议家长做出监督和引导。
5.解析:选F 根据上文可知,现在大多数孩子每天都在网上或通过手机聊天。根据下文可知,有些人在现实生活中很害羞,但在网上与他人交流时很自信。故F项“他们正在与世界各地的其他儿童建立联系”承上启下,符合语境。
6.解析:选A 下文介绍网络不好的一面,上下文构成转折关系,所以空处应该是介绍网络好的一面。故A项“上网很有趣”符合语境。
7.解析:选E 根据下文可知,家长需要对孩子访问的网站和聊天室做同样的事情,建议家长要为了孩子的上网安全做一些提醒。故E项“为了保护孩子们的安全,你的管理必须包括家庭电脑”引出下文,符合语境。
8.解析:选B 根据下文可知,你的孩子可能比你知道的更多,说明孩子们从网络上学到很多东西。故B项“现在计算机学习已成为学业的一部分”与下文构成转折,符合语境。
9.解析:选C 根据下文可知,聊天者喜欢使用缩略语,提到孩子们聊天的时候用的语言。故C项“聊天的语言对许多父母来说也很陌生”衔接下文,符合语境。
