Unit 4 Section 2 “Avatars”的课文习读环节 [课时检测]　　　　　　　　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Born and brought up in a small family in Kaliwal village in India, Veeranna Madiwalar's childhood was full of struggle.Even as his parents struggled to make ends meet, it was very difficult to pay his school fees.It was his uncle who supported his education.“He used to say that he saw a changemaker and artist in me, and he wanted me to complete my education，” he says. After receiving his master's degree in English and Kannada, he moved back to his hometown because he wanted to make education better for future generations.“I worked for four years before being made the headmaster of a school in 2016，” he says, adding that the old and poor building and lack of infrastructure (基础设施) made him think of his own school's state. Using his own money, he started small — he planted a few trees across the campus, and started repair work on the building.But he knew he could not fund the repair of the school alone and would need more help.So he used the power of social media (社交媒体) to raise money.“I started posting pictures of the school with my repairs on social media.Word spread and, surprisingly, many people came forward to help me，” he says. Today this school is a far cry from what it used to be — with colourful walls, lots of infrastructure, trees, a garden, and a library with picture books and audio-visual resources (视听资源) in English and Kannada.And the number of students has grown from 76 to 136. “The change is amazing，” says Suleman Sheikh, an official from the school.“It didn't happen overnight.It was a slow journey, and everyone, even students, played a part in it.Today, the school stands proudly, and the students have a place they truly enjoy studying in.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Veeranna Madiwalar完成学业后，回到家乡通过求助网络筹集资金，改善当地的教育情况的故事。 1．What led Veeranna to go back to Kaliwal village? A．The plan to complete his degree. B．The wish to improve local education. C．The post of headmaster at a school.

For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to perform a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones? Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In an interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can't kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says we feel regret for “checking our phone again and again if we're waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realising that an hour has passed”． But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like medicine, the problem appears when it is withdrawn. A study from King's College London found young people couldn't control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems. Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science suggests we don't just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. The people they studied felt an automatical (自动的) need to check their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. One solution could be an app that rewards (奖励) students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the things that turn your attention away. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world! 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了手机依赖症的特点及其产生的问题，并希望人们能够放下手机，投入现实世界中来。 5．What is Martin Cooper's attitude to focusing on smartphones? A．Uncaring.　　　　　 B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Unacceptable. 解析：选D　观点态度题。根据第二段中的“In an interview, he suggested people quit scrolling and ‘get a life’．”可推知，Martin Cooper不支持人们天天刷手机。 6．What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Stopped. B．Increased. C．Offered. D．Saved. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文可知，画线词所在句意为“就像药物一样，当它被停用时，问题就出现了”，也就是说手机和药物一样，一直吃药会产生依赖，但一旦停药，身体就会出问题。由此推知，画线词withdrawn与stopped意思接近。 7．What is the author's key suggestion in the last paragraph? A．Concentrate on studies. B．Get a reward for offline time. C．Buy a new smartphone. D．Contact with the real world. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world！”可知，与现实世界接触是作者在最后一段的关键建议。 8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Benefits from Smartphones B．Addiction to Smartphones C．Development of Smartphones D．Disadvantages of Smartphones 解析：选B　标题归纳题。第一段中的“But have we become addicted to our phones？”提出了文章的主题，下文对这一主题展开了论述，指出了人们对手机上瘾的症状及其产生的问题，最后对此提出了建议。由此可知，B项“智能手机成瘾”适合作文章标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Kids are begging parents for cell phones at younger and younger ages, leaving families with tough choices to make. It might take some time to teach kids how to use phones as tools, not toys. Here are a few ways to get the message across. Tell them not to use phones at school. Phones can be a distraction (干扰) from learning when used in the classroom. 9 In fact, 43% of teens admit that they often or sometimes use their phones as a way to avoid face-to-face communication with others. Encourage them to contact long-distance relatives. 10 They're also for keeping in touch with people who you may not get to talk to as often. If you have families who live in another city or state, ask your kids to strike up a conversation. Lead by example. Setting an example is not only about how you use your phone, but also about how much you use it. When you feel bored and expect to glance over social media, fight it by taking a short walk. 11 Advise them not to use phones at the dinner table. For many families, the only time they truly get together is breaking bread at the end of a long day. 12 Asking your children to leave their phones far from the dinner table is a great way to solve the problem. 13 Sometimes, kids need a little push in order to make better choices about their phones. If they're struggling with healthy habits, put some real-world events on the calendar. Good options include going to an amusement park, working together on a craft project or signing your kids up for sports. A．Plan other forms of entertainment. B．Prepare a dinner together with your children. C．Screen time before bed reduces sleep quality. D．They can also prevent students from connecting with one another. E．So it is wise of parents to stress the importance of parent-child time. F．Also, instead of reading a headline, why not pull out a book to read? G．Phones aren't just for texting the best friend who lives two blocks away. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种教孩子将手机当成工具而不是玩具的方法。 9．解析：选D　根据上句可知，此处是在介绍手机对学生的不良影响，故D项(它们还会阻止学生之间的联系)承接上文，且选项中的“connecting with one another”与下文的“communication with others”相呼应。 10．解析：选G　根据下句可知，此处是在讲手机可以用来联系别人，故G项(手机不仅仅是用来给住在两个街区之外的最好的朋友发短信的)与下文话题一致，且是递进关系；下句中的“They”指代的是G项中的“Phones”。 11．解析：选F　根据上文可知，此处是在介绍我们要少玩手机，多做别的事情来给孩子做榜样。故F项(此外，与其读手机里的头条新闻，为什么不拿出一本书来读呢？)承接上文，符合语境。 12．解析：选B　根据上句可知，此处是在讲对于许多家庭来说，唯一团聚的时间是一起吃晚饭，故B项(和你的孩子们一起准备一顿晚餐)承接上文，选项中的“dinner”呼应上文中的“breaking bread”。 13．解析：选A　根据文章最后一句并结合本段内容可知，本段主要是在讲督促孩子多去做些别的项目和活动，代替玩手机。故A项(计划其他形式的娱乐)适合作为本段主旨句。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
