The government recently banned(禁止) smartphones in public schools for all students through nine grades. Many schools around the world like Germany, Japan, the United States have similar bans. Some educators say kids pay better attention in class when they aren’t looking at their phones all the time. They say banning phones 1 students to talk to each other more. Most teachers would agree that they don’t want a classroom full of kids texting(发短信). But many say a total ban on phones isn’t 2 . Some people argue that it’s better to teach kids to use technology responsibly than take it away. Also, many parents point out that they need to be able to reach their kids during the day. Yes! Smartphones make it 3 for students to concentrate in class. Kids might play games, watch videos, or check out apps instead of paying attention to the teacher.

So be careful putting out the birthday candles. For example, William Shakespeare died 1 on his birthday on April 23rd, 1616. The actress Ingrid Bergman who fought against the illness strongly also died on her birthday, in August 1982 even though she never gave up. In general, people over the age of 60 are more likely to pass away on their birthdays. Heart diseases rise 18.6 percent for both men and women. Dr Vladeta Ajdacic Gross of the Zurich University said, "Birthday turning into 2 day happen more often than people expect." He added that the risk of the birthday death increase as people got older. The older people are, the more danger of the birthday death. A Canadian research also showed that stroke(中风) were more likely to happen on people's birthdays, especially among old people. There was a 34.9 percent rise in suicides(自杀) and a 28.5 percent rise in accidental deaths. Besides, there was also a 44 percent rise in people 3 buildings on their birthdays. Professor Richard wiseman of the Hertfordshire University said "It's a believable finding. There are two groups - one is that people eat too much or are over excited, 4 then that causes people to die. The other is that people keep themselves going unhappily before their birthdays' coming. Then they think they have had 5 things in the world on their special days." Dr Lewis Halsey of the Roehampton University said, "One 6 situation is that more suicides happen on birthdays, but only in men. Perhaps men prefer to make a statement about their difficult life for they think people will take more notice of them on that day." 1．A．exactly B．usually C．slightly D．wrongly 2．A．wish B．death C．carelessness D．sadness 3．A．climbed up B．thought of C．worried about D．jumped from 4．A．but B．or C．and D．so 5．A．enough B．pleasant C．funny D．common 6．A．usual B．hard C．strange D．daily 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．A 6．C 【分析】本文主要介绍了科学家的一个发现：一个人在生日当天死亡的几率比其他日子都要高。研究人员在40年间对200万余人进行了调查研究，发现在生日当天死于心脏病、中风、摔倒和自杀的人更多。 1．句意：例如，威廉·莎士比亚正是在1616年4月23日生日那天去世。 exactly正是，确切地；usually通常；slightly略微；wrongly错误地。根据前文“Scientists have studied more than two million people for over 40 years and found people were more likely to die on the day when they were born than any other day.”可知，后句的例子应是证实科学家的研究，故应是威廉·莎士比亚正是在1616年4月23日生日那天去世。故选A。 2．句意：生日变成死亡的日子比人们想象的要多。 wish希望；death死亡；carelessness粗心；sadness悲伤。根据后句“He added that the risk of the birthday death increase as people got older.”可推测出，应是生日变成死亡的日子比人们想象的要多。故选B。 3．句意：除此之外，人们在生日那天从建筑物上跳下的人数也增加了44%。 climbed up攀登；thought of想到；worried about担心；jumped from从……跳跃。根据前句“There was a 34.9 percent rise in suicides(自杀) and a 28.5 percent rise in accidental deaths.”可知，此处是指在生日那天跳楼的人数增加了44%。。故选D。 4．句意：有两种情况——一种是人们吃得太多或过度兴奋，然后导致人们死亡。 but但是；or或者；and并且；so因此。根据空前后句意可知，空处的连词表示递进关系，应用and。故选C。 5．句意：然后他们认为在他们特殊的日子里他们已经拥有了世界上足够的东西。 enough足够的；pleasant愉快的；funny有趣的；common共同的。根据前句“The other is that people keep themselves going unhappily before their birthdays' coming.人们在生日到来之前总是让自己过得不开心。”语境可推测出，这类人的生活态度很消极，认为他们特殊的日子里已经拥有了世界上足够的东西。故选A。 6．句意：一个奇怪的情况是，更多的自杀发生在生日，但只有在男性中。 usual通常的；hard艰难的；strange奇怪的；daily日常的。根据下句“Perhaps men prefer to make a statement about their difficult life for they think people will take more notice of them on that day.”可知，Dr Lewis Halsey认为只有男性的自杀发生在生日，是一个奇怪的情况。故选C。 Should Twalkers Be Fined? Texting while walking has become quite common. There is even a catchy name for it: twalking. However, this habit is more than just popular—it’s 1 . People who stare at their phones while walking can easily run into objects or people, 2 , they might step into traffic without realizing it. Some people say twalkers should be fined, Anthony Lin strongly 3 this idea. “Fining would make people take the danger more seriously,” he says. The seatbelt usage is also an example. After rules were made in 1993, more and more people began to fasten their seatbelts. More and more people will stop looking down after it is required by 4 . Studies have shown that spending too much time on our phones isn’t good for our health. If people stop twalking, they’ll look up, look around and enjoy the world around them.

Instead, he suggests that leaders should 5 new ideas to make streets safer, like adding traffic lights to sidewalks.

However, she now thinks people who are bullied should talk about their 1 . Rebecca says that many people who are bullied suffer in silence. She says that although she 2 heard a lot about bullying when she was in primary school, she never thought it would happen to her. Rebecca told us that the bullying began when she went to middle school. People started making fun of her for being a 3 student and knowing all the answers.

Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents saying that it isn’t easy living with them. According to recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 4 the towels in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or not doing the shopping at the supermarket. The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different ways of addressing these problems. However, some ways are more successful than others. For example, those parents who shout at their children for their untidiness, but 5 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s behavior. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 6 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favourite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to reconsider their actions. 1．A．natural B．strong C．guilty D．similar 2．A．interest B．argument C．link D．topic 3．A．noisy B．crowded C．messy D．locked 4．A．washing B．using C．dropping D．replacing 5．A．later B．slowly C．seldom D．completely 6．A．failures B．changes C．results D．surprises 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 6．C 【导语】本文探讨了父母与青少年之间因卫生习惯和家务问题产生的矛盾，并通过研究指出，让青少年体验自身行为的后果比直接替他们解决问题更有效。 1．句意：青少年对父母也有类似的感觉，认为和父母生活在一起不容易。 natural自然的；strong强烈的；guilty内疚的；similar类似的。根据“Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers.”和“Then again”可知，青少年对父母也有类似的感觉。故选D。 2．句意：根据最近的一项研究，父母和青少年之间最常见的争论是关于不整洁和日常事务。 interest兴趣；argument争论；link联系；topic话题。根据“parents go mad over”和“teenagers lose their patience”可知，这是双方的争论焦点。故选B。 3．句意：一方面，父母因为房间凌乱、衣服扔在地上和孩子们拒绝帮忙做家务而发疯。 noisy吵闹的；crowded拥挤的；messy凌乱的；locked锁上的。根据“clothes thrown on the floor”可知，房间是凌乱的。故选C。 4．句意：另一方面，当父母责备他们乱扔浴室毛巾、不打扫房间或不去超市购物时，青少年会不断失去耐心。 washing洗；using使用；dropping扔下；replacing替换。根据“the towels in the bathroom”和责备的内容可知，是把毛巾乱扔。故选C。 5．句意：例如，那些因为孩子不整洁而对他们大喊大叫，但后来又替他们打扫房间的父母，改变孩子行为的机会更少。 later后来；slowly缓慢地；seldom很少；completely完全地。此处表示时间上的先后顺序，即父母先责备，然后自己动手打扫。故选A。 6．句意：相反，那些让青少年体验自己行为后果的父母能做得更好。 failures失败；changes改变；results结果；surprises惊讶。experience the results of their actions意为“体验他们行为的后果”，符合语境。故选C。 We’ve all seen it: the classmate moving his foot up and down, students clicking their pens. For years, this “fidgeting” (小动作) was seen as a(n) 1 that a person was not interested or was losing focus. But what if we’ve been wrong all along? Simple moves help A study from Harvard University asked two groups of students to listen to a difficult speech. One group could hold and press soft balls quietly while the other could not. The fidgeting group did much better on the following test. Dr. John Ratey explains that you can clear away mental noise and pay attention better by moving your body, 2 a little. This works because it increases a helpful brain chemical. Therefore, some researchers argue that for many, fidgeting isn’t a problem—it’s a way that allows the brain to 3 other things and focus on the main task. Wrong moves fail However, the benefits depend on the type of fidget. A study from the UK found that simple fidgeting, like moving your foot, could help you focus. But fidgeting with something 4 , like solving a puzzle, could injure your attention. It makes your brain work too hard. 5 , a brain scientist says the sound of a fidget toy can be a problem for others. This noise can make it hard for everyone in the room to do their work. 6 moves win It seems that the type of fidget extremely matters. The key is a fidget that doesn’t require thought. As for the noise? “The thoughtful fidgeter is the good fidgeter,” concludes Dr. Medina. “If you feel the need to fidget, you’d better choose a simple, silent one. Your tool shouldn’t become someone else’s problem.” 1．A．sign B．goal C．excuse D．reason 2．A．especially B．hardly C．first D．even 3．A．deal with B．get rid of C．run into D．go over 4．A．different B．interesting C．difficult D．easy 5．A．What’s more B．In fact C．For example D．As a result 6．A．Quick B．Loud C．Hard D．Smart 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．A 6．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了小动作对人们的影响，并指出简单的小动作有助于集中注意力，而复杂的小动作则可能分散注意力。 1．句意：多年来，这种“坐立不安”被视为一个人不感兴趣或注意力不集中的标志。 sign标志；goal目标；excuse借口；reason原因。根据“a person was not interested or was losing focus”可知，坐立不安被视为一个人不感兴趣或注意力不集中的标志。故选A。 2．句意：约翰·拉特博士解释说，你甚至可以通过轻微地移动身体来清除精神噪音，更好地集中注意力。 especially尤其；hardly几乎不；first首先；even甚至。根据“you can clear away mental noise and pay attention better by moving your body, …a little”可知，甚至可以通过轻微地移动身体来清除精神噪音，更好地集中注意力，此处表示递进关系，故用even。故选D。 3．句意：因此，一些研究人员认为，对许多人来说，坐立不安并不是一个问题——它是一种让大脑摆脱其他事情，专注于主要任务的方式。 deal with处理；get rid of摆脱；run into撞上；go over复习。根据“it’s a way that allows the brain to …other things and focus on the main task”可知，坐立不安是一种让大脑摆脱其他事情，专注于主要任务的方式。故选B。 4．句意：但是，摆弄一些困难的东西，比如解谜题，可能会分散你的注意力。 different不同的；interesting有趣的；difficult困难的；easy容易的。根据“could injure your attention”可知，摆弄一些困难的东西会分散你的注意力。故选C。 5．句意：此外，一位脑科学家说，摆弄玩具的声音对其他人来说可能是一个问题。 What’s more此外；In fact事实上；For example例如；As a result结果。根据“a brain scientist says the sound of a fidget toy can be a problem for others”可知，此处是进一步说明摆弄玩具的弊端，用“What’s more”符合语境。故选A。 6．句意：聪明的小动作获胜。 Quick快的；Loud大声的；Hard困难的；Smart聪明的。根据“It seems that the type of fidget extremely matters.

A recent study found that many young people put in a lot of effort to hide their online activity by making fake profiles and clearing their search histories. This 1 the following question: How closely should parents monitor their children’s internet use, or should they be doing so at all? In recent years, social media sites have gained in popularity among all age groups. And children are joining their first social network at younger ages. In the U.K., 59 percent of children have already joined an online social network before the age of 10. This trend 2 parents worldwide. As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.” In monitoring children’s online activity, this applies well. However, the definition of “prevention” in this context is often misunderstood. Most arguments for monitoring often focus on preventing children from coming into contact with bad people or content but this is misleading; parents monitor children’s internet use only to prevent negative influence from it. It’s 3 that parents will always be able to prevent their children from coming into contact with bad content. What’s more, it also takes away the learning opportunities when children first come across such content. Parents should limit their children’s online hours and monitor their children’s internet use 4 . The key is to inform parents when their kids come across bad content, so that parents can teach their children about what to do in such situations.

Traditionally, educators have put time limits on tests 1 they believe it’s fair to give most students the same amount of time, and they also think students who really know the material should be able to answer all the questions during that time. Studies have shown, however, that the 2 to take a test quickly doesn’t reflect (反映) a student’s intelligence or knowledge of the material. Timed tests simply favour (有利于) students who can think under pressure. What do you think? Should we get rid of timed tests? Yes—having a time limit on tests can be unfair Time limits on tests give an advantage to students who can think quickly and stay calm. That has 3 to do with how much they know or how much they’ve studied. Many students, including people with learning difficulties, need more time to focus on their thoughts. They can get stressed and anxious (焦虑的) and even have trouble sleeping the night before a test, which will affect their performance. Not everyone can express his ideas or knowledge while the clock is ticking. Studies show that when students have time to focus on the questions, they give more thoughtful answers and 4 remember the material better. No—it’s important to have time limits on tests Giving students the same test with the same time limit is a fair way to test and compare their knowledge and abilities. While some students may need extra time due to specific needs, not everyone does. 5 there is a time limit for students to finish a test, they won’t learn how to manage their time or decide how much time to spend on each question.

It will 1 their daily life. Now more and more teenagers are caught in the web. What’s the reason for the problem? Teenagers look themselves as adults. In their 2 , they can solve the problem in life, and they don’t need help. It is not the fact. They often can’t solve the problem by themselves. Afterwards they go to find a place to solve the problem. The Internet provides the place for them. Family relationship is another reason. Many teenagers can’t get along well with parents. They don’t want to talk to their parents. In fact, they need parents’ help and support. Some students can’t do well in school. They are not 3 of their studies. The Internet gives them another place to satisfy themselves. What is the result of teenagers being caught in web? Spending too much time on the Internet, teenagers can’t pay enough 4 to their study. They can’t catch up with their classmates. Some teenagers even 5 from school. On some webs, there is much bad information. Parents are afraid that it will do harm to their children. Making friends online is another result. Many teenagers 6 with others and make friends with some strangers. Teenagers don’t know how to make friends online, and they are easy to be hurt. More and more teenagers are facing this problem. We all hope that the problem will be solved earlier. 1．A．catch B．cause C．move D．affect 2．A．eyes B．schools C．classes D．neighbours 3．A．made B．fond C．afraid D．proud 4．A．attention B．money C．dollars D．manners 5．A．fall B．drop C．get D．run 6．A．watch B．walk C．discuss D．chat Students in China have one less thing to put in their backpacks these days. The government recently banned(禁止) smartphones in public schools for all students through nine grades. Many schools around the world like Germany, Japan, the United States have similar bans. Some educators say kids pay better attention in class when they aren’t looking at their phones all the time. They say banning phones 1 students to talk to each other more. Most teachers would agree that they don’t want a classroom full of kids texting(发短信). But many say a total ban on phones isn’t 2 . Some people argue that it’s better to teach kids to use technology responsibly than take it away. Also, many parents point out that they need to be able to reach their kids during the day. Yes! Smartphones make it 3 for students to concentrate in class. Kids might play games, watch videos, or check out apps instead of paying attention to the teacher. They can easily miss important information. Besides, a ringing or buzzing phone distracts(使……分心) other students. Also, some kids might use their phones to cheat. They could go online and look up 4 to a test, or they could turn to their friends for help. No! Students should be able to have their phones with them in case of an 5 . Kids need a way to get in touch with their parents if they get sick, if the school bus breaks down, or even if they forget their lunch at home. Smartphones can actually help kids do better in school. We can use them to go online and do research for a class project or for help with writing essays. 6 , there are great educational apps we can use. They can help us study better.

So be careful putting out the birthday candles. For example, William Shakespeare died 1 on his birthday on April 23rd, 1616. The actress Ingrid Bergman who fought against the illness strongly also died on her birthday, in August 1982 even though she never gave up. In general, people over the age of 60 are more likely to pass away on their birthdays. Heart diseases rise 18.6 percent for both men and women. Dr Vladeta Ajdacic Gross of the Zurich University said, "Birthday turning into 2 day happen more often than people expect." He added that the risk of the birthday death increase as people got older. The older people are, the more danger of the birthday death. A Canadian research also showed that stroke(中风) were more likely to happen on people's birthdays, especially among old people. There was a 34.9 percent rise in suicides(自杀) and a 28.5 percent rise in accidental deaths. Besides, there was also a 44 percent rise in people 3 buildings on their birthdays. Professor Richard wiseman of the Hertfordshire University said "It's a believable finding. There are two groups - one is that people eat too much or are over excited, 4 then that causes people to die. The other is that people keep themselves going unhappily before their birthdays' coming. Then they think they have had 5 things in the world on their special days." Dr Lewis Halsey of the Roehampton University said, "One 6 situation is that more suicides happen on birthdays, but only in men. Perhaps men prefer to make a statement about their difficult life for they think people will take more notice of them on that day." 1．A．exactly B．usually C．slightly D．wrongly 2．A．wish B．death C．carelessness D．sadness 3．A．climbed up B．thought of C．worried about D．jumped from 4．A．but B．or C．and D．so 5．A．enough B．pleasant C．funny D．common 6．A．usual B．hard C．strange D．daily Should Twalkers Be Fined? Texting while walking has become quite common. There is even a catchy name for it: twalking. However, this habit is more than just popular—it’s 1 . People who stare at their phones while walking can easily run into objects or people, 2 , they might step into traffic without realizing it. Some people say twalkers should be fined, Anthony Lin strongly 3 this idea. “Fining would make people take the danger more seriously,” he says. The seatbelt usage is also an example. After rules were made in 1993, more and more people began to fasten their seatbelts. More and more people will stop looking down after it is required by 4 . Studies have shown that spending too much time on our phones isn’t good for our health. If people stop twalking, they’ll look up, look around and enjoy the world around them. However, Hasan Walker thinks differently. “Twalking puts people in danger, but I don’t think fines are the best answer,” he argues. Instead, he suggests that leaders should 5 new ideas to make streets safer, like adding traffic lights to sidewalks. More importantly, he believes people should learn to be more careful when walking in the street. The debate continues. While Anthony believes fines will work 6 , Hasan thinks education and creative solutions would be better in the long run. 1．A．dangerous B．useful C．interesting D．worried 2．A．What’s more B．After all C．In all D．In brief 3．A．refuses B．supports C．connects D．ignores 4．A．trick B．accident C．law D．car 5．A．think about B．think up C．think over D．think of 6．A．happily B．slowly C．immediately D．wisely School is not only a place we can learn something, but also is a small society. “School bully (欺凌)” is a popular word in the school. And school bully has many influences on students. When Rebecca was a middle school student, she was often bullied. At that time, she didn’t want to tell others. However, she now thinks people who are bullied should talk about their 1 . Rebecca says that many people who are bullied suffer in silence. She says that although she 2 heard a lot about bullying when she was in primary school, she never thought it would happen to her. Rebecca told us that the bullying began when she went to middle school. People started making fun of her for being a 3 student and knowing all the answers. She went on to say that every time she answered a question correctly in class, everyone would start shouting and saying that she was too 4 for them. She told us that by the end of the year, she was very worried about the bullying and became ill. She began to hate school. But 5 she had a friend who she could talk to, and they told their head teacher about her problem. She believes that talking to the teacher helped her a lot.         They found ways to deal with the problem, and the bullying finally stopped. Her 6 is, don’t see yourself as the problem. Nobody should be bullied. But if you don’t tell anyone what is going on, nobody will know that you need help. 1．A．experiences B．jokes C．hobbies D．studies 2．A．seldom B．always C．never D．suddenly 3．A．bad B．happy C．silent D．good 4．A．clever B．slow C．noisy D．proud 5．A．usually B．interestingly C．luckily D．strangely 6．A．problem B．agreement C．ambition D．advice Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents saying that it isn’t easy living with them. According to recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the housework. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 4 the towels in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or not doing the shopping at the supermarket. The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different ways of addressing these problems. However, some ways are more successful than others. For example, those parents who shout at their children for their untidiness, but 5 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s behavior. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 6 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favourite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to reconsider their actions. 1．A．natural B．strong C．guilty D．similar 2．A．interest B．argument C．link D．topic 3．A．noisy B．crowded C．messy D．locked 4．A．washing B．using C．dropping D．replacing 5．A．later B．slowly C．seldom D．completely 6．A．failures B．changes C．results D．surprises We’ve all seen it: the classmate moving his foot up and down, students clicking their pens. For years, this “fidgeting” (小动作) was seen as a(n) 1 that a person was not interested or was losing focus. But what if we’ve been wrong all along? Simple moves help A study from Harvard University asked two groups of students to listen to a difficult speech. One group could hold and press soft balls quietly while the other could not. The fidgeting group did much better on the following test. Dr. John Ratey explains that you can clear away mental noise and pay attention better by moving your body, 2 a little. This works because it increases a helpful brain chemical. Therefore, some researchers argue that for many, fidgeting isn’t a problem—it’s a way that allows the brain to 3 other things and focus on the main task. Wrong moves fail However, the benefits depend on the type of fidget. A study from the UK found that simple fidgeting, like moving your foot, could help you focus. But fidgeting with something 4 , like solving a puzzle, could injure your attention. It makes your brain work too hard. 5 , a brain scientist says the sound of a fidget toy can be a problem for others. This noise can make it hard for everyone in the room to do their work. 6 moves win It seems that the type of fidget extremely matters. The key is a fidget that doesn’t require thought. As for the noise? “The thoughtful fidgeter is the good fidgeter,” concludes Dr. Medina. “If you feel the need to fidget, you’d better choose a simple, silent one. Your tool shouldn’t become someone else’s problem.” 1．A．sign B．goal C．excuse D．reason 2．A．especially B．hardly C．first D．even 3．A．deal with B．get rid of C．run into D．go over 4．A．different B．interesting C．difficult D．easy 5．A．What’s more B．In fact C．For example D．As a result 6．A．Quick B．Loud C．Hard D．Smart Should Parents Monitor Their Children’s Online Activities?
