【題目】 Increased use of the Internet and mobile phones are undermining pupils’ capacity for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.

Cranfield School of Management found almost six in 10 schoolchildren were copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.

More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism (剽竊). The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised fresh concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people. Andrew Kakabadse, professor of International Management Development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning.

“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.”

The report revealed that so-called “text-speak’’ was increasingly finding it was into pupils’ school work. Three in 10 students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as “ruok” in essays and classroom tasks.

It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of teachers failed to understand some pupils’ writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as “innit” and “Gr8” were regularly found in school work, it was claimed. The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.

More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.

【1】The underlined word “undermining” in the first paragraph can best be replaced by “_________”.

A.keepingB.determining

C.weakeningD.increasing

【2】It can be inferred from what Kakabadse said that _________.

A.he believes schools are responsible for technology obsession

B.he is in favour of students’ mobile phone usage at school

C.the research finds a new way to improve school management

D.it is hard to limit students’ mobile phone usage at school

【3】The passage is mainly about _________.

A.technology’s positive influence on students’ achievement

B.the negative effect of technology on students’ study

C.the importance of online social communication

D.the rapidly growing role of communication technologies

【4】What’s the attitude of the author to the problem?

A.Approving.B.Optimistic.C.Anxious.D.Tolerant.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。作者在文章中提到使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和手機(jī)的學(xué)生越來越多了�？墒�，科技不僅給學(xué)生們帶來了便捷，也給他們的學(xué)習(xí)帶來了很多的不利影響。

【1】

詞義猜測題。可以根據(jù)第一段中and promoting poor grammar（而且還會(huì)導(dǎo)致語法問題）可以推測前句提到的過多使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)會(huì)對學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)能力的影響也是不好的。此處應(yīng)該是“削弱”了學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)能力。A. keeping保持；B. determining決定；C. weakening 削弱；D. increasing 提高。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.”（盡管學(xué)校有限制手機(jī)使用的規(guī)定，但學(xué)生們還是頻繁地使用手機(jī)，其中大多數(shù)人都在廁所里打電話。在學(xué)校生活中，手機(jī)仍然是社會(huì)交流的主要渠道）可知，限制學(xué)生在校使用手機(jī)很困難。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段Increased use of the Internet and mobile phones are undermining pupils’ capacity for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed（報(bào)告稱，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和手機(jī)的使用越來越多，不僅削弱了學(xué)生的自主學(xué)習(xí)能力，而且還會(huì)導(dǎo)致語法問題）可知，高科技的使用對孩子的學(xué)習(xí)有不好的影響。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】

推理判斷題。在文章第一段，作者認(rèn)為過多使用手機(jī)會(huì)undermining（削弱）學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)能力以及會(huì)導(dǎo)致poor grammar（語法問題），同時(shí)在第二段提到學(xué)生會(huì)利用手機(jī)copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it（不經(jīng)過仔細(xì)閱讀，直接從網(wǎng)站上抄襲答案做家庭作業(yè)）。由此可見，從文章的字里行間可以看出作者對學(xué)生使用高科技產(chǎn)品諸如手機(jī)之類持憂慮態(tài)度。A. Approving 贊成的；B. Optimistic 樂觀的；C. Anxious 焦慮的；D. Tolerant 寬容的。故選C項(xiàng)。

【題目】 If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?

According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.

The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.

A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.

Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.

“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.

It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.

Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”

The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between two and 34.Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.

【1】The main subject talked about in this passage is_________.

A.science on learning a second language

B.man’s ability of learning a second language

C.findings that language learning can help brain power

D.language learning and maths study

【2】The last sentence of the second paragraph is intended to______.

A.say language learning is also a kind of physical labor

B.prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language

C.show the importance of using it when you learn a language

D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well

【3】We may know from the scientific findings that_______.

A.the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is

B.there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language

C.the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain

D.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time

【題目】 A decade ago, colored lights danced around the living room on New Year's Eve and happy music was played. Upstairs, the children were asleep. But I wasn't feeling happy. In mid-December, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die. He had less than a year left, the doctors said.

In the years since that painful season, I have come to look back upon New Year's Eve as an ending and a beginning. New Year's Eve brings a halt to the endless commitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect.

New Year's Eve is full of possibility, and anticipation. What will be the surprising experiences and delightful successes in the coming year? But also, what disappointments are waiting for us in the next twelve months?

In many ways, New Year's Eve and the days that surround it are a line between past and future. That line is made up of a series of moments of transition that take us out of the old and into the new. Transition can be challenging for many of us. It's about letting go of the familiar and diving headlong （迅猛地）into the unfamiliar.

Just as, back then, I had to face letting go of the life I had led with my beloved husband and stepping into a new world as a widowed（喪偶的）mom. I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.

Last year at this time, I sat in a chair in southern France and drank in the stillness and beauty of the countryside around me. The three children and I had brought into this world talked and laughed around the table beside me as we enjoyed a lunch of bread and cheese.

I was filled with a sense of joy and I had a glowing （熱情洋溢的）heart that was full of hope. It was another ending and another beginning. May we all transition into the best of what lies ahead. May we all find happiness in this holiday season.

【1】What made the author unhappy on New Year's Eve a decade before?

A.The pressure she faced in her work.

B.The health problem her husband faced.

C.The information received from her family.

D.The relationship between her and husband.

【2】What does the underlined word "halt" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Stop.B.Beginning.C.Meaning.D.Tradition.

【3】What does the author think people should do at a new year?

A.Set challenging goals for the next year.

B.Break with daily routines and form a new habit.

C.Spend more time with family members.

D.Think about the past and get ready for the future.

【4】What is the author's attitude toward the future?

A.Calm.B.Indifferent.C.Doubtful.D.Expectant.

【5】What is the main purpose of the article?

A.To memorialize her husband.

B.To show how she got through a hard time.

C.To share her view of New Year's Eve.

D.To remind us that uncertainty is part of life.

Mask-Wearing, Common in Asia, Spreads in the West

PARIS — Until a few weeks ago, Asian tourists were 【1】 only mask wearers in Paris, 【2】(cause) puzzlement or suspicion from French locals or even hostility as the coronavirus began sweeping across Europe.

Four days into a national lockdown to stem the outbreak, the French government spokeswoman, Sibeth Ndiaye, warned that face masks were so 【3】 (familiar) that wearing them was too difficult technically and could even be “counterproductive (適得其反).” Even Thursday morning, when 【4】 (ask) whether she wore a mask or made her children wear one, she said, “Oh, no, not at all.”

This taboo is falling fast, not only in France but across Western countries, after increasing 【5】(cry) from experts who say the practice is effective in curbing the coronavirus pandemic.

The shift for Western nations is profound and has had to overcome not merely the logistical challenges of securing enough masks, which are significant enough, but also a deep 【6】 (culture) resistance and even stigma (污名) associated with mask-wearing, 【7】 some Western leaders described flatly as “alien.”

【8】 (seem), it won’t be for much longer. After discouraging people from wearing face masks, France, like the United States, has begun urging its citizens 【9】 (wear) basic or homemade ones outside. And some parts of Europe are moving faster than the United States by requiring masks instead 【10】 simply recommending their use.
