Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)
A
[2016·江津质检]Today's youngsters use smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices (设备) more than ever before. And the amount of time they spend on these devices is only likely to increase in the future. But are all these changes good?
We sometimes call children who are able to use mobile devices and technology easily digital natives. They can text, e-mail, get Wi-Fi, and download. Some experts say that long periods of time spent chatting to friends online, playing video games and listening to mp3s, for example, may possibly change how their brains work.
Then there is the question of privacy. All this online activity creates a digital footprint. Every time we share a photo or a post on social media, and every time we search for something on the Internet, information about our activity is stored somewhere.
Our inability to control what happens to our children's digital footprint—and their personal privacy-has big possibilities. It might become normal for companies to ask their employees for their social media qualifications. We are also becoming more aware that companies and governments may be able to “listen in” on our communications. So it is important to make our children aware of the possible results of oversharing.
Another area where the digital world may have a big effect is in education. One worry is that kids who spend a lot of time online at home are sometimes unable to socialize properly with other children when they are at school. Other experts point out that, when it comes to children and technology, the children are the experts, not the teachers. They say that we should stop seeing online as “bad” and offline as “good” -and there is evidence of innovative (革新的) work in some schools.
So, do we really need to rescue our children from the dangers of the digital world?
本文分析的是各种高科技产品的出现对孩子的影响有好有坏,那我们该如何权衡利弊是最重要的。
1.According to the second paragraph, what is the possible effect of digital childhood?
A.Children can grow up quickly.
B.Children can read texts fluently.
C.Children's way of thinking may be changed.
D.Children may become mentally disabled.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“...may possibly change how their brains work.”可知。
2.All the following may happen to our digital footprints EXCEPT ________.
A.when surfing the Internet, our digital footprints are saved
B.some business societies may take advantage of the information
C.government may look into our communication through the Internet
D.digital pictures may be printed by our computer automatically
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知A正确,由第四段第二句和第三句可知B、C正确。故答案选D项,未涉及。
3.Why are many teachers doubtful about digital technology?
A.Because some students cannot do well in studies.
B.Because some teachers haven't changed for years.
C.Because some students addicted to digital technology cannot socialize well.
D.Because some teachers addicted to tradition technology cannot teach well.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第五段“One worry is that kids who spend a lot of time online at home are sometimes unable to socialize properly with other children...”可知。
4.Which of the following can summarize the main idea of the text?
A.Do we need to rescue our kids from the digital world?
B.Should children learn to use digital technology?
C.Are there changes in children's school life?
D.Should teachers accept changes in our life?
答案:A 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段内容,可以作出判断答案是A。
1.technology n. 技术
2.privacy n. 隐私,私事
3.possibility n. 可能性
4.properly adv. 恰当地;适当地
5.rescue v. 援救,营救
1.search for 寻找,搜寻
2.point out 指出
原文:When it comes to children and technology, the children are the experts, not the teachers.[when it comes to (doing) sth. “当提到……的时候”]
译文:就儿童与科技而论,儿童是专家,而不是老师。
仿写:When_it_comes_to_diet_and_exercise,_we know what to do, but we don't do what we know.
当提到饮食和运动的时候,我们都知道怎么去做,但我们不会按照我们知道的去做。

[2016·山西四校联考]Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.
Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.
All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.
American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2017, have seen similar results. In May 2017, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe's first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.
The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.
本文讲述的是一类新型的课堂——学生和教师均站着上课,经过在很多学校试验证实:这种模式的课堂更有利于师生健康,同时,也有助于学生集中注意力。
5.According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that
________.
A.they have to exchange desks with each other
B.they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats
C.there are no seats for them to sit in class
D.the officials show no sympathy to them at all
答案:C 细节理解题。根据“— Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math...”可知。
6.According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because ________.
A.they are cleverer than younger students
B.they are easily tired of standing long
C.they have formed the habit of sitting
D.they do badly in class while standing
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第三段:最后一句“older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.”可知。
7.What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?
A.The standing desks can't be used at all.
B.It is good for students to use stand-up desks.
C.More tests should be done in other schools.
D.The students are different in personality.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.”可知答案是B。
8.Why do the teachers like the standing desks?
A.Because the educators can draw the students' attention.
B.Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.
C.Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.
D.Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据参与实验的25名老师的反馈可以看出,这种课堂会使学生注意力集中,可知答案。
1.exchange n./v. 交换
2.cruelty n. 残酷
3.consumption n. 消耗
4.unexpected adj. 未预料到的
5.previously adv. 以前地,先前地
1.participate in 参与,参加
2.have something to do with 与……有关
原文:All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand.(省略句)
译文:所有参与进研究的25名老师回馈说,当允许学生站着时学生们看上去更机敏,而且注意力更集中。
仿写:When_interviewed_by_the_journalists,_the minister assured the public that all the products on display would be launched to the market.
当接受记者采访时,部长向公众保证所有(展出的)产品都将投放市场。
