Unit 1 Teenage life 单元话题任务型阅读练习 单元话题：青少年生活 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 聚焦基础，巩固自我 重难语篇提升练 专注提升，挑战自我 ◇考点 01 基础语篇巩固练 根据短文内容回答下列问题 A live-streaming app (直播应用) that monitors (监控) students in classrooms in some middle schools has raised a lot of online discussion. It was reported that any user of the app Shuidi could see inside classrooms. Some parents have praised the app for giving them the chance to monitor their children, while others worry about privacy (隐私) problems. Do you think the app is a good idea? I strongly support this app. Nowadays, children play an important role in the whole family, and parents always want to care for their children, wherever they are. This new platform (平台) helps parents see what their children are doing in classes. It’s also a good way to make students behave themselves in school. —— Linda I’m in favor of this app if parents get their children’s permission (准许) first. The app could help parents focus on children’s bad habits. It could also be used as a tool to prevent bullying (霸凌). However, parents should get their permission first to protect their privacy. —— Jeff I think this app is a bad idea. Schools should be a pleasant and relaxing place for students to study and play. But we will feel uncomfortable if cameras are watching us all the time. We should pay attention to our privacy. Our lives shouldn’t be watched by the public. —— Betty Any form of privacy invasion (侵犯) shouldn’t be allowed. Although some parents want to know more about their children, they should do it in a better way. Being under the eye of strangers is too dangerous. —— David 1．Does the live-streaming app monitor students in classrooms in some middle schools? 2．In Linda’s opinion, what does this new platform help both parents and students? 3．According to Jeff, what are the advantages of this app if parents get their permission first to protect their privacy? 4．Why does Betty think this app is a bad idea? 5．What form does David think is too dangerous? 6．Are you in favor of (支持) having monitoring equipment in your school? Why? 根据短文内容回答问题。 Are you carrying too much on your back to school? You’re not alone. Back experts (专家) in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their schoolbags. “It hurts my back when I run,” said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to go up the stairs with my schoolbag, because it’s too heavy.” Oberlin is among students whose schoolbags were weighed for a week in a recent study. They had regular schoolbags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling schoolbags (which have wheels and can roll on the ground). Shirley Park, whose schoolbag weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to a rolling schoolbag because she was starting to have back pain. How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight. A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: Less homework. 1．Students in America carry too much on their back to school, don’t they? 2．What problems may cause when students carry too much in the schoolbags? 3．Why did Shirley Park switch regular schoolbags to a rolling schoolbag? 4．What does the expression “switched to” in Paragraph 4 perhaps mean? 5．According to the experts, If a student weighs 40 kilograms, how many kilograms can he carry a schoolbag at most? 6．What are your suggestions to lighten the load? (At least 2 suggestions) As you probably know, the town council (议会) has got £1 million to spend in improving the town’s facilities for young people and we’re looking for great ideas on how to spend the money well. Post your ideas in the forum (论坛)  below and let us know how we can make life better for you. Here are some ideas. There’s nothing for teenagers to do in this town, especially at night. Can we use the money to build a youth club? Somewhere with a pool table and a table tennis table, perhaps. We need somewhere to play happily and hang out safely in the evenings. —Daisy, 15 I think the best use for the money is to build a playground in the town park. It should have lots of rides for the young kids. I’d like to have a skateboard park for a start and maybe if there is enough money, we can have a climbing wall, too. —Luke, 13 As I’m only 14, I can’t drive, so I go everywhere on my bike. But the roads are dangerous and many motorists drive too fast. How about spending the money in building more cycle lanes? We could also put in more speed cameras and zebra crossings, too. This will make life safer for all our citizens, not just the young people. —Liz, 14 How about a big billboard at the entrance to the town that reads, “TEEN WARNING—there’s nothing to do here!” —Sadie, 16 This probably sounds like a boring idea, but can’t we use some of the money to buy more litter bins? I feel ashamed of our town when I see much litter on the ground. We need to tidy up our town quickly! —Jack, 15 Our high street is full of empty shops because everyone just shops at the new shopping centre outside of town or online. Why don’t we use the money to turn some of these empty shops into an arts centre? It can have studios where we can draw and paint or learn how to make films. We can also have a music studio where local bands can record music cheaply. —Alex, 17 1．How much money has the town council got? 2．What do Daisy and Sadie think of the town? 3．What does Luke want to have most in his idea? 4．In Liz’s opinion, what should the money be spent in? 5．Whose idea do you like best if you are an art lover? 6．Why does the writer choose the six ideas which are all from the teenagers? Give TWO reasons. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Dear Mrs Wu, I love video games and I develop my own games. It’s my favourite hobby. My parents were very encouraging at first. The day I started secondary school, they changed their mind. They now suggest that I give up video games altogether because study should be my priority (优先考虑的事项). What’s more, they don’t even allow me to go out with my friends at night. Every time they do that, I act like I don’t care. But in fact, I am quite angry and upset because they simply have no respect for me and my needs. What can I do?Sincerely yours,   Jason Dear Jason, You must be feeling very stressed these days. I’m glad you wrote to me for help. However, you should keep calm and talk to your parents about the benefits of your hobby. I can see why your parents are against video-gaming—it was seen as a useless pastime (娱乐活动) back in the time when your parents were young. The best idea may be to tell them that it is good training for new tech jobs like being a video game developer or drone photographer (无人机摄影师). Also, it is a good way to have a rest after a long school day. Try pointing out real-life examples to them to support your idea. Meanwhile, you should also make sure your hobby doesn’t get in the way of your school performance. As for your parents’ not allowing you to go out with your friends, it may be a good idea to open up to them about your private life. For example, you can ________. This may help them change their mind. Meanwhile, show them you are a responsible person who understands their worries, and will not let them down. If you can do this, I don’t believe they will be so hard on you. Remember, you mustn’t lose your cool, as that would be immature (不成熟的). Cheers! Mrs Wu 1．What is Jason’s favourite hobby? 2．Why do Jason’s parents change their attitude towards Jason’s hobby now? 3．How does Jason feel when his parents stop him from going out with his friends? 4．According to Mrs Wu, what are the benefits of Jason’s hobby? 5．What can be filled in the blank? 6．After reading Mrs Wu’s letter of advice, what will Jason probably do next? (At least three points) Liu Yiran, 18, remembers clearly how her schoolmates bullied (欺凌) her. Liu went to a high school mainly for Chinese students in southern California, US. On March 30 last year, about ten of her schoolmates took her to a park nearby their school. There, they forced Liu to take off her clothes, hit her and burnt her with cigarettes. It went on for more than five hours, and it was all because of disagreements over a dinner bill, their hometowns and a boy, reported the Los Angeles Times. When this reached the public, people were shocked. And now the bullies will get punishments from US laws. Three of the bullies, who are 19, were sent to prison on Feb 17. Zhai Yunyao, the main bully, faces 13 years in prison. Yang Yuhan will get 10 years and Zhang Xinlei will get six years. The three students were “deeply shocked” after learning this. They thought they were just playing a trick on Liu and would only get punished by their school. This just shows how ignorant (无知) Chinese students are about US laws and bullying, wrote China Daily. In China, bullying will only be punished by law when it causes very serious physical harm. However, there is other bullying, such as lighter physical or even emotional harm. But people don’t pay enough attention to school bullying, taking it only as small fights between students, according to TangJun, from Renmin University of China. Thus, education about bullying is important, said legaldaily. com, as well as more specific laws and anti-bullying (反欺凌) school programs. “Don’t think school bullying is uncommon, and then it may be solved,” it wrote. 1．Did the bully which happened to Liu Yiran take place in their school? _____________________________________________________ 2．How long did the bully last? _____________________________________________________ 3．Which newspaper gave the details of the bully case in the passage, the Los Angeles Times or China Daily? _____________________________________________________ 4．How did the bullies feel when they learnt their punishment from US laws? _____________________________________________________ 5．What is the attitude to school bullying in China according to TangJun, from Renmin University of China? _____________________________________________________ 6．What is your suggestion to solve the school bullying? _____________________________________________________ 根据短文内容回答问题。 The Moments (朋友圈) section of WeChat has become a popular part of the social networking platform (平台). You can share everything about your life on it with your friends. Some students had a discussion on whether to allow our parents to see our moments. Yes No Stella, 16: I think it’s meaningful to let parents see our Moments. Some say that without parents’ involvement (参与), they feel free when sharing things online. However, as teenagers, sometimes we do need our parents’ guidance, especially in terms of social experiences. What’s more, shutting them off may make the generation gap bigger and bigger, while inviting them in can help us communicate and feel closer to each other. Denny, 16: Most of my friends keep their parents out of their Moments. They argue that if their parents get involved, they will feel upset. However, I feel happy when my parents comment(评论) on my posts in my Moments. It shows their love and care for me. It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. We’ll leave them when we grow up. Why not cherish (珍惜) every opportunity to interact (互动) with them? Robin, 16: I don’t allow my parents to see my Moments. Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my posts there, they may push me around with their ideas, nagging (唠叨) at me to do as they wished, which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, appropriate distance unites the family better. Laura, 16: I believe blocking (屏蔽) our parents in Moments is not a bad idea, as the generation gap can be a great problem. Online social media is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don’t have to worry about our parents’ presence. To enable them to read our daily posts would create a lot of misunderstandings. 1．According to the passage, what can you share with your friends on the Moments section of WeChat? 2．Why does Stella think it’s meaningful to let parents see our Moments? 3．How do most of Denny’s friends deal with their Moments, block their parents or let them see? 4．Robin doesn’t allow his parents to see his Moments, does he? 5．What’s the advantages of blocking our parents in Moments according to Laura’s opinion? 6．Do you think your parents should be allowed to see your Moments? Why or why not? Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot narrower than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers. Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don’t care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not, the feeling of being disconnected makes people feel lonely. “People need to feel connected,” says Joy Browne, a doctor in the U.S. “And they will do it in the easiest ways.” When family members aren’t connected, what could be easier than forming a connection to famous people? This isn’t something unusual, of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It’s natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way, but that’s unhealthy, because the relationships aren’t two-way (相互的). For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins so that children can know their latest activities and interests. We can keep connected with our relatives by using technology. It’s easy to send E-mail to granddad better yet. A week of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people, they can’t be there to cry for us. 1．Are we often connected to our relatives now? 2．What makes people feel lonely? 3．The relationships between the famous people and us aren’t two-way, are they? 4．Why do parents tell children stories about the relatives? 5．How can we keep connected with our relatives? 6．What do you think of keeping connected with your relatives? How do you connect with them? ①The debate on “textbooks vs. computers” has been going on for years. How much technology is enough in the classroom? Should textbooks be replaced by computers? ②There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. Computer-based lesson plans are updated in real time. New information can be added as soon as changes take place. Students can find the latest information for the subjects they are studying. ③With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today, computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers. ④However, despite these advantages, I think textbooks must stay. ⑤Textbooks are professionally edited. All the facts have been checked. They are put together in the best way. Each chapter builds on what a student has previously learned. On the internet, however, not all the information is true or organized. ⑥With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps students learn more. ⑦Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families can afford textbooks, not all of them can afford a computer. Every student should be allowed to learn what he needs to learn. It's wrong to rob a student of his right to learn just because he can't afford the material. ⑧Computers are playing an important role in education. They allow students to learn more. However, I don’t think they can replace textbooks. If students want to learn well, they must use textbooks. Do you agree with me? 1．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? 2．Does the third paragraph suggest that computers are useful to students? 3．How many advantages do textbooks have according to the passage? 4．What advantage do textbooks have over computers according to paragraph 7? 5．What’s the writer’s point of view in the last paragraph? 6．Do you think computers should replace textbooks? Why or Why not? ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 After school, Vishal Singh faces a difficult choice. He knows he should really get on with his homework, but the Internet is just so tempting (诱人的). All too often, the 17-year-old student from Woodside High School in California favors Facebook, YouTube and making digital videos. He often chooses time on his computer over his studies. “Students have always faced distractions and time-wasters,” writes Matt Richtel in the New York Times. He says that computers and cell phones, and the stimulation (刺激) they offer, are a real challenge for young people, who need to focus on learning. Students say that their parents, worried about the distractions, try to police computer time. But monitoring the use of cell phones is difficult. Teachers at Woodside commonly blame technology for students’ struggles to concentrate, but they are divided over whether computers and the Internet are the solution. In Richtel’s article, English teacher Marcia Blondel shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. To address this shortcoming, she takes part in a read-aloud of the book in class. “You can’t become a good writer by watching YouTube, texting and e-mailing a bunch of abbreviations.” she says. But even as some parents and educators express their worries over students’ digital diets, they are making efforts to use technology in the classroom, seeing it as a way to engage these 21st-century students. The principal of Woodside High School, David Reilly, asked teachers to build websites to communicate with students, spent a large amount of money setting up a multimedia center and introduced new courses like the digital audio recording class. He also pushed first period back an hour, to 9 a.m., because students were showing up bleary-eyed (睡眼惺忪的), at least in part because they were up late on their computers. “I am trying to take back their attention from their cell phones and video games,” he says. “To a degree, I’m using technology to do it.” Some US schools are looking to use the Internet to encourage students to study. 1．Where does Vishal Singh study? 2．Vishal Singh doesn’t spend more time on his studies than on his computer, does he? 3．Why do parents try to police computer time of their kids? 4．What does the English teacher Marcia Blondel share in Richtel’s article? 5．According to the passage, how many measures (措施) did the principal of Woodside High School take to stop students from focusing too much on computers and video games? 6．How do you like the measures taken by the principal? Why do you think so? Charlie attended regular school in Lincolnshire and was the only visually impaired (VI) student there. Growing up was tough for him, especially since he faced unfriendly comments from others. This experience taught Charlie the importance of good communication with both teachers and peers. He explains, “I can’t see much when reading. Paperwork needs to be much larger, often in size 72 font. It’s not impossible to see, but I need changes in everyday life.” To help with his education, Charlie used a laptop for schoolwork and had models and graphs to feel and understand during lessons. He also worked closely with teachers to ensure he got the needed help from them in class, like receiving PowerPoint presentations before lessons began. Despite the help he received, Charlie faced a lot of bullying, especially in secondary school. At the start of Year 10, things got so bad that he didn’t want to go to school. The school even held an assembly to explain his vision problem to other students. For example, his eyes don’t always look where he’s actually focusing, which sometimes led to misunderstandings with classmates. One particularly difficult situation happened in his science class. Some students thought he was staring at them, even though they were across the room and he couldn’t see them. Because of this, Charlie was required to switch classes but decided against it. He had already established good communication with his science teacher about his needs and thought, “Why should I be the one to move?” Charlie considered leaving school completely but chose to stay after weighing the advantages and disadvantages. A teacher advised him to pay no attention to the bullies, saying that in the future, he would realize it was the best choice. Although it was hard at the time, Charlie now understands that things are getting easier and easier in the long run. Charlie’s advice to others facing similar challenges is ________. 1．Explain “VI” in your own words according to the writer’s description. A person who is visually impaired probably . 2．Where did Charlie receive education, at home or at school? . 3．What did Charlie do to help him manage his studies? . 4．How did Charlie feel when he was asked to switch his science classes? . 5．What could be the advantage(s) and disadvantage(s) of leaving school in Charlie’s case? List one for each. Advantage: . Disadvantage: . 6．Think about what Charlie’s advice is and complete the sentence in the last paragraph. His advice to others facing similar challenges is . 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Teenage life 单元话题任务型阅读练习 单元话题：青少年生活 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 聚焦基础，巩固自我 重难语篇提升练 专注提升，挑战自我 ◇考点 01 基础语篇巩固练 根据短文内容回答下列问题 A live-streaming app (直播应用) that monitors (监控) students in classrooms in some middle schools has raised a lot of online discussion.

Back experts (专家) in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their schoolbags. “It hurts my back when I run,” said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to go up the stairs with my schoolbag, because it’s too heavy.” Oberlin is among students whose schoolbags were weighed for a week in a recent study. They had regular schoolbags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling schoolbags (which have wheels and can roll on the ground). Shirley Park, whose schoolbag weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to a rolling schoolbag because she was starting to have back pain. How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight. A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: Less homework. 1．Students in America carry too much on their back to school, don’t they? 2．What problems may cause when students carry too much in the schoolbags? 3．Why did Shirley Park switch regular schoolbags to a rolling schoolbag? 4．What does the expression “switched to” in Paragraph 4 perhaps mean? 5．According to the experts, If a student weighs 40 kilograms, how many kilograms can he carry a schoolbag at most? 6．What are your suggestions to lighten the load? (At least 2 suggestions) 【答案】1．Yes, they do. 2．Back and neck problems./It may cause back and neck problems 3．Because she was starting to have back pain. 4．It means “started to use”./It means “changed to”. 5．6 kilograms. 6．Student can put some books in their own book shelves at school./Student can finish some homework at school. 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。谈论了美国学生们因为书包里的东西太多太重而引起背部和颈部的问题，文中也列举了一些能让学生减轻书包的措施。 1．根据第一段“Are you carrying too much on your back to school? You’re not alone.”可知，很多美国学生都背了又多又重的东西去学校。故填Yes, they do. 2．根据第一段“Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their schoolbags.”可知，美国学生因为书包里的东西太多太重产生了背部和颈部的问题。故填Back and neck problems./It may cause back and neck problems 3．根据第五段“She changed to a rolling schoolbag because she was starting to have back pain.”可知，Shirley Park开始背部疼痛了。故填Because she was starting to have back pain. 4．根据第四段“But a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling schoolbags.”可知，重负荷的学生已经改用了滚动的背包。所以“switched to”的意思是改用。故填It means “started to use”./It means “changed to”. 5．根据倒数第二段“Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.”可知，学生所背东西的重量不能超过自身重量的10%~15%。所以40千克的学生最多能背的重量为6千克。故填6 kilograms. 6．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为Student can put some books in their own book shelves at school./Student can finish some homework at school.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Dear Mrs Wu, I love video games and I develop my own games. It’s my favourite hobby. My parents were very encouraging at first. The day I started secondary school, they changed their mind. They now suggest that I give up video games altogether because study should be my priority (优先考虑的事项). What’s more, they don’t even allow me to go out with my friends at night. Every time they do that, I act like I don’t care. But in fact, I am quite angry and upset because they simply have no respect for me and my needs. What can I do?Sincerely yours,   Jason Dear Jason, You must be feeling very stressed these days. I’m glad you wrote to me for help. However, you should keep calm and talk to your parents about the benefits of your hobby. I can see why your parents are against video-gaming—it was seen as a useless pastime (娱乐活动) back in the time when your parents were young. The best idea may be to tell them that it is good training for new tech jobs like being a video game developer or drone photographer (无人机摄影师). Also, it is a good way to have a rest after a long school day. Try pointing out real-life examples to them to support your idea. Meanwhile, you should also make sure your hobby doesn’t get in the way of your school performance. As for your parents’ not allowing you to go out with your friends, it may be a good idea to open up to them about your private life. For example, you can ________. This may help them change their mind. Meanwhile, show them you are a responsible person who understands their worries, and will not let them down. If you can do this, I don’t believe they will be so hard on you. Remember, you mustn’t lose your cool, as that would be immature (不成熟的). Cheers! Mrs Wu 1．What is Jason’s favourite hobby? 2．Why do Jason’s parents change their attitude towards Jason’s hobby now? 3．How does Jason feel when his parents stop him from going out with his friends? 4．According to Mrs Wu, what are the benefits of Jason’s hobby? 5．What can be filled in the blank? 6．After reading Mrs Wu’s letter of advice, what will Jason probably do next?

Liu went to a high school mainly for Chinese students in southern California, US. On March 30 last year, about ten of her schoolmates took her to a park nearby their school. There, they forced Liu to take off her clothes, hit her and burnt her with cigarettes. It went on for more than five hours, and it was all because of disagreements over a dinner bill, their hometowns and a boy, reported the Los Angeles Times. When this reached the public, people were shocked. And now the bullies will get punishments from US laws. Three of the bullies, who are 19, were sent to prison on Feb 17. Zhai Yunyao, the main bully, faces 13 years in prison. Yang Yuhan will get 10 years and Zhang Xinlei will get six years. The three students were “deeply shocked” after learning this. They thought they were just playing a trick on Liu and would only get punished by their school. This just shows how ignorant (无知) Chinese students are about US laws and bullying, wrote China Daily. In China, bullying will only be punished by law when it causes very serious physical harm. However, there is other bullying, such as lighter physical or even emotional harm. But people don’t pay enough attention to school bullying, taking it only as small fights between students, according to TangJun, from Renmin University of China. Thus, education about bullying is important, said legaldaily. com, as well as more specific laws and anti-bullying (反欺凌) school programs. “Don’t think school bullying is uncommon, and then it may be solved,” it wrote. 1．Did the bully which happened to Liu Yiran take place in their school? _____________________________________________________ 2．How long did the bully last? _____________________________________________________ 3．Which newspaper gave the details of the bully case in the passage, the Los Angeles Times or China Daily? _____________________________________________________ 4．How did the bullies feel when they learnt their punishment from US laws? _____________________________________________________ 5．What is the attitude to school bullying in China according to TangJun, from Renmin University of China? _____________________________________________________ 6．What is your suggestion to solve the school bullying? _____________________________________________________ 【答案】1．No, it didn’t. 2．More than five hours. 3．The Los Angeles Times. 4．They were “deeply shocked”. 5．People don’t pay enough attention to school bullying. 6．I suggest that people should pay enough attention to school bullying. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述刘怡然经历的校园霸凌事件告诉我们校园欺凌普遍存在，应该得到广泛有效地重视。 1．根据“about ten of her schoolmates took her to a park nearby their school.

You can share everything about your life on it with your friends. Some students had a discussion on whether to allow our parents to see our moments. Yes No Stella, 16: I think it’s meaningful to let parents see our Moments. Some say that without parents’ involvement (参与), they feel free when sharing things online. However, as teenagers, sometimes we do need our parents’ guidance, especially in terms of social experiences. What’s more, shutting them off may make the generation gap bigger and bigger, while inviting them in can help us communicate and feel closer to each other. Denny, 16: Most of my friends keep their parents out of their Moments. They argue that if their parents get involved, they will feel upset. However, I feel happy when my parents comment(评论) on my posts in my Moments. It shows their love and care for me. It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. We’ll leave them when we grow up. Why not cherish (珍惜) every opportunity to interact (互动) with them? Robin, 16: I don’t allow my parents to see my Moments. Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my posts there, they may push me around with their ideas, nagging (唠叨) at me to do as they wished, which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, appropriate distance unites the family better. Laura, 16: I believe blocking (屏蔽) our parents in Moments is not a bad idea, as the generation gap can be a great problem. Online social media is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don’t have to worry about our parents’ presence. To enable them to read our daily posts would create a lot of misunderstandings. 1．According to the passage, what can you share with your friends on the Moments section of WeChat? 2．Why does Stella think it’s meaningful to let parents see our Moments? 3．How do most of Denny’s friends deal with their Moments, block their parents or let them see? 4．Robin doesn’t allow his parents to see his Moments, does he? 5．What’s the advantages of blocking our parents in Moments according to Laura’s opinion? 6．Do you think your parents should be allowed to see your Moments?

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot narrower than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers. Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don’t care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not, the feeling of being disconnected makes people feel lonely. “People need to feel connected,” says Joy Browne, a doctor in the U.S. “And they will do it in the easiest ways.” When family members aren’t connected, what could be easier than forming a connection to famous people? This isn’t something unusual, of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It’s natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way, but that’s unhealthy, because the relationships aren’t two-way (相互的). For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins so that children can know their latest activities and interests. We can keep connected with our relatives by using technology. It’s easy to send E-mail to granddad better yet. A week of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people, they can’t be there to cry for us. 1．Are we often connected to our relatives now? 2．What makes people feel lonely? 3．The relationships between the famous people and us aren’t two-way, are they? 4．Why do parents tell children stories about the relatives? 5．How can we keep connected with our relatives? 6．What do you think of keeping connected with your relatives? How do you connect with them? 【答案】1．No, we aren’t. 2．The feeling of being disconnected. 3．No, they aren’t. 4．Because they want their children to know their latest activities and interests. 5．By using technology. 6．It’s important to keep connected with our relatives. I usually keep connected with our relatives by using smartphone. 【导语】本文主要讲述了我们应该和我们的亲属保持联系的事情。 1．根据“Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don’t care deeply about them.”可知，现在很多孩子对亲人的生活知之甚少，对他们的关心也不深。因此我们现在已经不经常和亲戚联系了。故填No, we aren’t. 2．根据“Whether we realize it or not, the feeling of being disconnected makes people feel lonely.”可知，不管我们意识到与否，被孤立的感觉会让人感到孤独。故填The feeling of being disconnected. 3．根据“People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It’s natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way, but that’s unhealthy, because the relationships aren’t two-way (相互的).”可知，2003年梅艳芳去世时，人们哭了。这种感觉是自然的，在大多数情况下都是无害的，但这是不健康的，因为这种关系不是双向的。故填No, they aren’t. 4．根据“Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins so that children can know their latest activities and interests.”可知，父母可以帮助他们的孩子讲述他们的祖父母，阿姨和堂兄弟姐妹的故事，这样孩子们就可以知道他们最近的活动和兴趣。故填Because they want their children to know their latest activities and interests. 5．根据“We can keep connected with our relatives by using technology.”可知，我们可以通过使用技术与亲属保持联系。故填By using technology. 6．根据“And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives.”及“We can keep connected with our relatives by using technology.”可知，和亲戚保持联系是非常重要的，因此可以使用现代科技和亲戚联系。故填It’s important to keep connected with our relatives. I usually keep connected with our relatives by using smartphone. ①The debate on “textbooks vs. computers” has been going on for years. How much technology is enough in the classroom? Should textbooks be replaced by computers? ②There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. Computer-based lesson plans are updated in real time. New information can be added as soon as changes take place. Students can find the latest information for the subjects they are studying. ③With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today, computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers. ④However, despite these advantages, I think textbooks must stay. ⑤Textbooks are professionally edited. All the facts have been checked. They are put together in the best way. Each chapter builds on what a student has previously learned. On the internet, however, not all the information is true or organized. ⑥With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps students learn more. ⑦Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families can afford textbooks, not all of them can afford a computer. Every student should be allowed to learn what he needs to learn. It's wrong to rob a student of his right to learn just because he can't afford the material. ⑧Computers are playing an important role in education. They allow students to learn more. However, I don’t think they can replace textbooks. If students want to learn well, they must use textbooks. Do you agree with me? 1．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? 2．Does the third paragraph suggest that computers are useful to students? 3．How many advantages do textbooks have according to the passage? 4．What advantage do textbooks have over computers according to paragraph 7? 5．What’s the writer’s point of view in the last paragraph? 6．Do you think computers should replace textbooks? Why or Why not? 【答案】1．Computers are powerful tools. 2．Yes, it does. 3．Three / 3. 4．Textbooks are less expensive than computers. 5．Computers can’t replace textbooks. 6．No, I don’t. Because it is convenient for people to take a book with them while they are travelling, so that they can learn and improve themselves whenever and wherever they like. 【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了随着科技的发展，计算机在学生们的学习中有很多优势，帮助尽管很大，但是它不能替代教科书。 1．根据“There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools.”以及通读第二段可知，这段主要是说计算机是强大的工具。故填Computers are powerful tools. 2．根据第三段首句“With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives.”可知，它表明了计算机对学生很有用。故填Yes, it does. 3．根据“Textbooks are professionally edited. All the facts have been checked.”和“With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes.”以及“Textbooks are also less expensive than computers.”可知，教科书的优点有三个。故填Three / 3。 4．根据第七段“Textbooks are also less expensive than computers.”及通读这一段可知，它主要是说教科书比计算机便宜。故填Textbooks are less expensive than computers. 5．根据最后一段第三句“However, I don’t think they can replace textbooks.”可知，作者的观点是计算机不能替代教科书。故填Computers can’t replace textbooks. 6．我认为计算机不能替代教科书。原因是我认为人们出门旅行带本书很方便，这样就可以随时随地学习和提高自己。故填No, I don’t. Because it is convenient for people to take a book with them while they are travelling, so that they can learn and improve themselves whenever and wherever they like. ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 After school, Vishal Singh faces a difficult choice. He knows he should really get on with his homework, but the Internet is just so tempting (诱人的). All too often, the 17-year-old student from Woodside High School in California favors Facebook, YouTube and making digital videos. He often chooses time on his computer over his studies. “Students have always faced distractions and time-wasters,” writes Matt Richtel in the New York Times. He says that computers and cell phones, and the stimulation (刺激) they offer, are a real challenge for young people, who need to focus on learning. Students say that their parents, worried about the distractions, try to police computer time. But monitoring the use of cell phones is difficult. Teachers at Woodside commonly blame technology for students’ struggles to concentrate, but they are divided over whether computers and the Internet are the solution. In Richtel’s article, English teacher Marcia Blondel shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. To address this shortcoming, she takes part in a read-aloud of the book in class. “You can’t become a good writer by watching YouTube, texting and e-mailing a bunch of abbreviations.” she says. But even as some parents and educators express their worries over students’ digital diets, they are making efforts to use technology in the classroom, seeing it as a way to engage these 21st-century students. The principal of Woodside High School, David Reilly, asked teachers to build websites to communicate with students, spent a large amount of money setting up a multimedia center and introduced new courses like the digital audio recording class. He also pushed first period back an hour, to 9 a.m., because students were showing up bleary-eyed (睡眼惺忪的), at least in part because they were up late on their computers. “I am trying to take back their attention from their cell phones and video games,” he says. “To a degree, I’m using technology to do it.” Some US schools are looking to use the Internet to encourage students to study. 1．Where does Vishal Singh study? 2．Vishal Singh doesn’t spend more time on his studies than on his computer, does he? 3．Why do parents try to police computer time of their kids? 4．What does the English teacher Marcia Blondel share in Richtel’s article? 5．According to the passage, how many measures (措施) did the principal of Woodside High School take to stop students from focusing too much on computers and video games? 6．How do you like the measures taken by the principal? Why do you think so? 【答案】1．At Woodside High School in California. 2．No, he doesn’t. 3．Because they are worried about the distractions. 4．She shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. 5．4/Four. 6．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think they are effective. Because they can make the relationship between students and teachers better, and make students feel they are understood. 【导语】本文以美国加州Woodside高中学生Vishal Singh受网络干扰、耽误学业的案例为切入点，探讨数字设备 (电脑、手机) 对学生学习专注力的影响；同时介绍了家长、教师的担忧，以及校方 (校长) 通过技术手段、课程调整等方式平衡科技使用与学生学习的措施。 1．根据第一段“All too often, the 17-year-old student from Woodside High School in California favors Facebook”可知，Vishal Singh在加利福尼亚州Woodside高中学习。故填At Woodside High School in California. 2．根据第二段“He often chooses time on his computer over his studies.”可知，他花在电脑上的时间多于学习时间。故填No, he doesn’t. 3．根据第四段“Students say that their parents, worried about the distractions, try to police computer time.”可知，学生们的父母因为担心这些干扰，所以试图监管用电脑的时间。故填Because they are worried about the distractions. 4．根据第六段“English teacher Marcia Blondel shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework.”可知，Marcia Blondel分享了她对学生的失望以及她无法让他们为家庭作业阅读30页书的情况。故填She shares her frustration with her students and her inability to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. 5．根据第九段“asked teachers to build websites to communicate with students, spent a large amount of money setting up a multimedia center and introduced new courses like the digital audio recording class.

Charlie attended regular school in Lincolnshire and was the only visually impaired (VI) student there. Growing up was tough for him, especially since he faced unfriendly comments from others. This experience taught Charlie the importance of good communication with both teachers and peers. He explains, “I can’t see much when reading. Paperwork needs to be much larger, often in size 72 font. It’s not impossible to see, but I need changes in everyday life.” To help with his education, Charlie used a laptop for schoolwork and had models and graphs to feel and understand during lessons. He also worked closely with teachers to ensure he got the needed help from them in class, like receiving PowerPoint presentations before lessons began. Despite the help he received, Charlie faced a lot of bullying, especially in secondary school. At the start of Year 10, things got so bad that he didn’t want to go to school. The school even held an assembly to explain his vision problem to other students. For example, his eyes don’t always look where he’s actually focusing, which sometimes led to misunderstandings with classmates. One particularly difficult situation happened in his science class. Some students thought he was staring at them, even though they were across the room and he couldn’t see them. Because of this, Charlie was required to switch classes but decided against it. He had already established good communication with his science teacher about his needs and thought, “Why should I be the one to move?” Charlie considered leaving school completely but chose to stay after weighing the advantages and disadvantages. A teacher advised him to pay no attention to the bullies, saying that in the future, he would realize it was the best choice. Although it was hard at the time, Charlie now understands that things are getting easier and easier in the long run. Charlie’s advice to others facing similar challenges is ________. 1．Explain “VI” in your own words according to the writer’s description.
