Many elderly people were unable to use smartphones to order food, make medical appointments, or even video-call their grandchildren. The digital divide — the gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not — was leaving an entire generation behind. Sarah decided to take action. She started a community program called "Tech Bridges," where high school students volunteered to teach seniors basic digital skills. The program began with just five volunteers at one community center. Within six months, word spread, and over a hundred students had signed up to help at fifteen locations across the city. The results have been remarkable. More than 2,000 seniors have completed the program, and many now shop online, book transportation, and stay connected with family independently. The program has also bridged the generational gap in an unexpected way: the teenagers report that they have gained patience, respect, and friendship from their elderly students. As Sarah puts it, "Technology connects us, but it's the human connection that truly bridges the divide." 1. What problem did Sarah Chen notice in her hometown? A. Elderly people could not afford smartphones. B. Elderly people were unable to use digital technology. C. There were not enough community centers for seniors. D. High school students lacked volunteer opportunities. 2. How did the "Tech Bridges" program grow over time? A. It stayed small with only five volunteers. B. It expanded to over a hundred volunteers at fifteen locations. C. It was taken over by the government. D. It moved to a different city. 3. The phrase "digital divide" in Paragraph 1 refers to A. the argument between young and old about technology B. the gap between those who can use technology and those who cannot C. the distance between different technology companies D. the difference between online and offline shopping 4. What can we infer from Sarah's quote at the end of the passage? A. Technology is more important than human relationships. B. Human connection is the key to solving the digital divide. C. The program should focus only on teaching technology skills. D. Elderly people do not really need smartphones. B The internet has revolutionized the way we learn, work, and communicate. But perhaps its most powerful impact has been in the field of charity and social causes. Crowdfunding platforms allow ordinary people to donate small amounts to causes they care about, and when millions of small contributions are combined, they can achieve extraordinary results. One striking example is the story of Marcus, a 12-year-old boy from a poor neighborhood who dreamed of becoming an engineer. His science teacher posted a short video online showing Marcus's homemade robot, built from scrap parts found in his neighborhood. The video went viral, and within weeks, an online campaign had raised over $200,000 for his education. Marcus is now studying at a top university and has started his own program to help other talented children from low-income families. However, online charity is not without its risks. Fake campaigns have cheated generous donors, and some platforms take large fees from donations. Experts advise donors to research organizations carefully before giving. Despite these concerns, the power of the internet to bring people together for good causes remains undeniable, and when used wisely, it can change lives in ways that were impossible just a generation ago. 5. What is the main advantage of online crowdfunding mentioned in the passage? A. It guarantees that all donations reach the intended recipients. B. It combines many small contributions to achieve big results. C. It is the only way to support educational causes. D. It requires donors to give large amounts of money. 6. How did Marcus's life change after his teacher posted the video? A. He became famous but received no financial help. B. He immediately started teaching other children. C. A campaign raised money for his education, and he later started his own program. D. He dropped out of school to build robots full-time. 7. What concern about online charity is raised in the last paragraph? A. There are too many charitable causes to choose from. B. Some campaigns may be fake, and platforms may charge high fees. C. Donors are forced to give more than they can afford. D. Only rich people can participate in online charity. 8. What is the author's overall attitude toward online charity? A. Completely negative B. Completely positive C. Cautiously positive D. Uninterested Ⅱ. 七选五 The internet has changed nearly every aspect of modern life, from how we shop to how we make friends. ____9____ While some people worry that technology is making us less social, others argue that it has created new forms of connection that did not exist before. Social media platforms, for example, allow people to maintain relationships across great distances. ____10____ A student studying abroad can share daily experiences with family back home through photos, videos, and instant messages. However, the benefits of online connection come with challenges. ____11____ Many people find themselves spending hours scrolling through posts, comparing their lives to the carefully curated images others share. To use technology wisely, experts suggest setting clear boundaries. ____12____ This might mean turning off notifications during meals, setting time limits on social media apps, or designating certain hours of the day as "offline" time. Ultimately, the internet is a tool, and its value depends on how we use it. ____13____ When used intentionally, it can enrich our lives; when used carelessly, it can leave us feeling more isolated than ever. A. These include limiting screen time and being mindful of online activities. B. Online shopping has made it easier to buy things from other countries. C. One of the most debated topics is whether it brings people closer or pushes them apart. D. Research shows that excessive social media use can lead to anxiety and depression. E. Grandparents can now watch their grandchildren grow up even from thousands of miles away. F. The internet has also created new job opportunities for young people. G. Technology should serve human relationships, not replace them. 参考答案 基础全面练 Ⅰ. 一词多义 1. bridge: ①桥 ②弥合(鸿沟) 2. channel: ①频道 ②引导/灌输 3. access: ①访问/获取 ②入口/通道 4. benefit: ①益处(名词) ②使受益(动词) Ⅱ. 单词拼写 1. blog 2. convenience 3. resources 4. access 5. video 6. digital 7. inspired 8. engineer 9. campaign 10. essay Ⅲ. 单句语法填空 1. it 2. who 3. to 4. has expanded 5.
