Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned at school for all children under 15 in France.Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.
“I think it's a good thing.School is not about being on your phone.”Paris mum Marie Caroline Madeleine told AFP.“It's hard with kids.You can't control what they see and that's one of the things that worries me as a parent.”
There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.
McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.
McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day to day learning but they're not allowed to use social media(媒体).Ms Binnion said at first“teachers cheered and students moaned(抱怨)”but now they're seeing the positives (优势).“They come to school and they're not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,”she said.
“It's been wonderful in terms of students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,”she said.
Ms Binnion also leads by example and doesn't use her mobile phone in school.“I think anyone can do it if we've done it.”
Not everyone agrees with the bans.Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it's important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.
“A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote.“Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response (反应) to a 2018 state of play.”

A.Some teachers were against it at first.
B.Students can now see the good of the ban.
C.Students can use their phones at lunch breaks.
D.Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.
3.What does the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to
A.A book.
B.A notebook.
C.A learning website.
D.A kind of computer.
4.What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools

2.encouragement
3.fluency

二、阅读理解
1.A 推理判断题。由第二段中的“School is not about being on your phone”可知,Madeleine认为学校不是玩手机的地方,言外之意就是学校是学习的地方。
2.B 推理判断题。由第四段中的“this has been a success”和第五段中的“now they're seeing the positives”可知,学生们起初抱怨,但现在都看到了这一禁令的好处。
3.D 词义猜测题。由第一段中的“Smartphones, tablets and smart watches”和第五段中的“for day to day learning but they're not allowed to use social media”可知,划线词应该指的是一种电脑。学生们学习可以用,但是不允许使用社交网络。
4.C 推理判断题。由倒数第二、三段可知,Dr Joanne Orlando认为现在是科技时代,就应该让学生与时代接轨,禁止学生使用手机不符合这个时代的特征。
四、语法填空
1.will learn 考查时态。这学期我将成为一名高中学生,我很兴奋,因为我将从新老师那里学到更多的知识。可知“学到更多知识”是发生在未来的事情,故用一般将来时,答案为will learn。
2.Especially 考查副词。修饰整个句子时要用副词形式,故答案为Especially。句意:尤其是,我可以学到更多的英语、数学、物理、化学和生物。
3.interesting 考查形容词。空格处作表语,说明句子主语的性质,要用形容词,故用interesting,意为“有趣的”。
4.friends 考查名词。空格处作meet的宾语,空格前面又有many修饰,friend是可数名词,要用复数形式,故答案为friends。
5.with 考查介词。get along well with是固定搭配,意为“与……相处融洽”,故答案为with。句意:我相信我会跟所有的新同学相处融洽。
6.As 考查定语从句。As the saying goes意为“常言道,俗话说,正如谚语所说”,是as引导的非限制性定语从句,as在从句中作goes的宾语,意为“正如”。句意:俗话说,“得朋友难,失朋友易”。
7.easier 考查比较级。根据句中的“than found”可知答案要用比较级,故用easier。
8.them 考查代词。联系上文的“If you want to make friends with others”可知空格处指代的是friends,空格处作treat的宾语,要用宾格,故答案为them。句意:如果你想跟别人交朋友,你就要真心实意地对待他们。
9.but 考查连词。真心实意对待别人真的很难,但是我会努力去做。前后分句之间是转折关系,故用转折连词but。
10.to study 考查非谓语动词。在“It is +adj.+不定式”结构中,it是形式主语,真正主语是不定式,故答案为to study。句意:我觉得紧张,因为我听说,在高中学习很难。
四、书面表达
