　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　A

　　I sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone.She asked me，“Doesn't she look happy？She looks OK，right？”Her daughter had recently had a difficult time，which was now over，but her mother—like all mothers would—still worried，sometimes，that something might be wrong.

　　For generations of parents，sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing.Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone，children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently.College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.

　　Now，of course，that's not at all how it is.Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children.They look for hints of sadness in their eyes，the way their clothes fit，whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.

　　However，I don't think it's necessary.College is a time of intense personal growth.Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood.Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst—whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.

　　The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child，no matter where he or she may be in the world.Facebook，Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed.Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home.Better for the children，and certainly better for the parents.

　　【答案】　1－4　BDBD

　　【语篇解读】　作者认为父母没必要通过社交工具实时掌握他们的孩子在大学的情况。

　　1．That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because ________.

　　A．she was bored and wanted to kill the time

　　Technical advancement has brought with it a series of changes.In a short span of time，this change has been so big that we now see significant impacts of it on our language.

　　English，in particular，has experienced deterioration and suffered considerably because of the increasing influx(涌入)of text messages that have surrounded our younger generation.While communication is beneficial at one end，the English language is being brutally murdered due to this culture of shorthand of texts.A number of critics have argued that the culture of texting is increasingly encouraging misspellings among the youth，keeping them away from the value of English language and its original form.

　　As the trend of shorthand texts continues，we now see a more disturbing pattern emerging in schools and educational institutions.The trend has already seeped(渗透)its way into our emails and workplace communications.Too many individuals are replacing words such as“you”with“u”．As informal style slowly seeps into formal writing，it is becoming more difficult to teach students how to write in proper English without sacrificing the essence of the language.

　　While guesses for these changing and disturbing trends have been highlighted repeatedly over the past few years，it is only now that we have seen statistical evidence.The average SAT score for students in the U．S.has reduced by a total of 9 points since the year 2006.This means that less than half of the students who took the test were considered suitable for college and high school level English writing.

　　What we need today is a more focused strategy that will allow students and the younger generation to use social media and texting as a form of further strengthening their English language skills.With greater parental controls and more focused curriculums，we might be able to prevent the deterioration of English language in time.

　　【答案】　5－8　ACCC

　　【语篇解读】　随着科技的发展，短信给人们带来了方便，但我们也应该警惕发短信会让人们的语言能力下降。

　　A．Decline.B．Power.

　　C．Hope.

　　A．prevent students from sending texts

　　B．communicate with students by emails

　　C．correct students' informal writing styles

　　D．let students realize the importance of English

　　【解析】　细节理解题。根据第三段的it is becoming more difficult to teach students...可知，短信让孩子们的语言非正式化，教师遇到的困难就是如何纠正他们错误的语言习惯。故答案为C项。

　　【答案】　C

　　7．The last paragraph of the passage is mainly about ________.

　　A．the importance of education in school

　　B．the development of texting in the future

　　C．the methods to improve students' English

　　B．Technical advancement is harmful to human beings.

　　Ⅴ.语法填空

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　The night sky will be lit up by displays of fireworks，bonfires(篝火)and sparklers(烟花棒)on and around November 5th in the UK.Many people expect 1.________(bright)evenings to celebrate the Guy Fawkes Night than before.The 2.________(celebrate)includes public and private firework and bonfire displays all over the UK,3.________(enjoy)by communities，families and friends.

　　Bonfires are lit every year as a symbolic act on the anniversary of this 8.________(history)day.Most towns and cities put on a firework display in local parks either the weekend before 9.________ after November 5th，and these are usually free to the public，so 10.________(general)，people will take part in their nearest firework festivities.

　　【答案】　1.brighter　2.celebration　3.enjoyed

　　4．the　5.to blow　6.were hidden　7.who　8.historic　9.or　10.generally

　　【语篇解读】　每年的11月5日，是英国的大篝火之夜。在这一天许多地方都会举办烟火表演去庆祝它。

　　1．brighter　考查形容词。根据下文的than before可以看出要使用形容词的比较级。

　　2．celebration　考查名词。有冠词the修饰，此处需用名词形式。

　　3．enjoyed　考查非谓语动词。enjoy与displays之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语。

　　4．the　考查冠词。根据句意，纪念火药阴谋的发现这件事，此处是特指。

　　5．to blow　考查非谓语动词。to blow up动词不定式短语作后置定语。

　　6．were hidden　考查动词。根据句意，火药与藏之间是被动关系，故用被动语态。

　　7．who　考查定语从句。先行词是one of Fawkes' men，在定语从句中作主语。

　　8．historic　考查形容词。historic的意思是“具有历史意义的”。

　　9．or　考查连词。这里是选择关系，表示“或者”。

　　10．generally　考查副词。根据句意，一般来说，人们将参加最近的烟花庆典活动。
