Section Ⅰ　“Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Remember the challenge “free of scrolling screens for a year” where people who are to be free from smartphones for a whole year will win $100,000? Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman, has been into it for eight months, and just four months away from claiming the grand prize. Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smartphones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survived for an entire year without a handheld smartphone was Elana Mugdan, a fiction writer from Queens, New York.Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye-opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smartphone.Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smartphone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesn't want to go back to days when she overused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed_with social media. But not having access to her smartphone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before.“Many people did me a favor.However, once, I almost get stranded (被滞留的) in the SeaTac Airport because the phone number I'd written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one, no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me，” the young writer said. Another time, her car's “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night.She couldn't use her phone's app, or even check what the light meant online or find a nearby car repair shop.But she learned to overcome these situations.And now she claims the last eight months of phone-free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she'll keep it for another four months. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Elana Mugdan在参加Vitaminwater发起的一年不用手机的挑战过程中的感受及遇到的困难。 1．What's the challenge “free of scrolling screens for a year”？ A．People free from smartphones can live a richer life. B．People living a phone-free life can be awarded money every year. C．People living without computers for a year will win a grand prize. D．People spending a year free from smartphones will get an award. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“where people who are to be free from smartphones for a whole year will win $100,000”可知，这个挑战要求参加者一年内不使用智能手机，参加者完成挑战后可以获得奖金。 2．Which phrase can replace the underlined part “obsessed with” in paragraph 2? A．Satisfied with.　　　　 B．Accustomed to. C．Addicted to. 　 D．Popular with. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“she really doesn't want ...all hours of the night on it”可知，Elana Mugdan曾经过度使用手机，不仅浪费时间，还容易熬夜。画线部分与上文内容相衔接，表示她当时对社交媒体非常痴迷，即上瘾。 3．What does Elana Mugdan mainly want to express in paragraph 3? A．It's fantastic to have someone to help her all the way. B．It's unimaginable to forget her phone number. C．It's unnecessary to refer to information with a smartphone. D．It's difficult to get out of trouble without a smartphone. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句以及本段所列举的事例可知，Elana Mugdan在第三段想表达的是没有智能手机很难摆脱困境。 4．What can we learn about Elana Mugdan? A．She couldn't live without a smartphone. B．She finds no one can help her in the adventure. C．She has not won the $100,000 prize yet. D．She used to use her smartphone to write fiction. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第一段第二句及最后一段最后一句中的“she'll keep it for another four months”可知，Elana Mugdan还要继续进行四个月的挑战，故她还没有获得奖金。 B For most of my life，I didn't like being seen.I went bright red when it was my turn to speak in a group.I hated the teacher asking me something.I even didn't like my family all looking at me! I often tried to hide away and avoid being seen by others！So, it's not strange that I feared speaking in front of others. Luckily, I've learned to overcome my problem.Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share.I particularly love helping entrepreneurs (企业家) to become more confident.When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater. Over the years I've discovered that there are three main problems that people have when it comes to speaking in public.The first is a lack of self-belief.They doubt themselves and question whether what they have to say is valuable.The second is a fear of being seen as arrogant (傲慢的)．The third is a fear of rejection or a fear of not being liked. All of these problems are related to mindset, specifically, a fear-based mindset, which is common.These fears stop people from stepping up as the leader and influencer they were born to be. If you want to become a more effective influencer, it is so important to work on any fears you have of judgment or rejection.They will be a ball and chain that will hold you back from success.We need to take action though we feel fear.We can't wait for the fear to go away as it won't go away itself.We have to act while we still feel it.And to overcome fears, we should practice.Confidence is attached to progress, and we progress only if we practice.If you don't feel you're progressing, you'll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者从害怕当众发言到克服这种障碍并帮助其他有同样问题的人的经历，并给出了自己的分析和见解。 5．What does the author like doing now? A．Giving speeches in front of people. B．Sharing experiences with young followers. C．Making friends with famous entrepreneurs. D．Helping others gain confidence in speaking in public. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，现在作者喜欢帮助那些有同样问题的人获得在公共场合讲话的信心，故选D。 6．What can we learn about the problems preventing people from talking publicly? A．They are very difficult to overcome. B．They lead to a very uncommon mindset. C．They exist mainly because of people's fears. D．They are no problem for leaders or influencers. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段和第四段第一句可知，阻碍人们在公共场合讲话的根源是他们心里的恐惧。 7．What does the author suggest people do? A．Wait for the fear to disappear. B．Avoid failure to become more confident. C．Refuse judgment or rejection from others. D．Practice hard to make progress in spite of fears. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段，尤其是最后三句可知，作者建议人们努力练习以取得进步，进而克服恐惧。 8．What can be the best title for the text? A．Finding the Courage Inside You B．Becoming a More Influential Person C．Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking D．Expressing Your Ideas More Effectively 解析：选C　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段可知，作者通过讲述自己由原本害怕当众发言到克服恐惧并能够帮助他人的经历，分析了产生这种问题的根源，同时建议人们通过练习克服恐惧。所以C项“克服对公共演讲的恐惧”是本文最好的标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Internet addiction is a common problem. __9__ If you are concerned that you may be too dependent on the Internet, there are several strategies you can use to control your Internet usage.Removing the temptation to go online is one of them.Here are some tips to get you started. __10__ If your devices are on and within arm's reach, you may find yourself mindlessly checking them during meal times and other social activities.Just turn off your device or at least put it on silent and place it somewhere out of sight.
