Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
If your child has mobile Internet access, it will be more difficult to monitor (监督) and control
his or her Internet use. Kids are turning to the Internet for everything from hanging out with friends
to shopping, which makes it harder for parents to keep track of their online activities. Fortunately,
there are many choices for controlling what your kids see on their computers,laptops,and mobile
devices.
Content blockers and filters are great tools to use for younger kids. They allow you more control
over where they go and what they do online. A content blocker can block some unhealthy websites
or limit a child's search to the kind of sites. A content filter can scan sites and pictures and block
those sites that contain certain words, key phrases, or content.
Consider tracking software for older teenagers. This software enables you to see which sites
your children have visited, tracking their path online. This tool gives young people more freedom to
explore the Internet,but it also allows you to check that they are using the Internet responsibly. Let
your teenagers know that you trust them,but that you will be regularly checking that they are visiting
appropriate sites online.
Even if you use content blockers, filters, and trackers,you know that a lot of kids figure out
ways to get around these, so it's important to remain alert (警惕的).Remember that not all adult sites
can be identified by blocker, filter, or tracker software. That's why it's important to talk to your kids
about what to do when something inappropriate or scary comes up. Nothing can replace involvement
and supervision (监督) by adults. Keep monitoring how your kids use the Internet on a regular basis
without getting into the role of Internet traffic police.

A good piece of writing holds your attention. It flows smoothly and everything makes sense. It's
interesting and a pleasure to read.
Great writing, on the other hand, doesn't just hold your attention; it commands your attention.
You become lost in it. You can't put it down, and when you do, you want to read it all over again.
The question is, how do we define great writing
Some would say that every word of great writing is carefully chosen, every sentence is
thoughtfully constructed, and every paragraph is filled with meanings and purposes. If you've ever
admired a superbly written sentence, you've experienced this kind of writing.
Others would say that what matters most isn't the writing but what's being said. As long as the
story or ideas are communicated clearly and as long as they are attractive and interesting, who cares
how super the sentences are A great story doesn't need to use words impressively; it just needs to
carry us off to another world.
So, do we identify great writing by the way words are conveyed clearly Does story do better
than beautiful writing Or do we want it all
Personally, I appreciate both types of writing, but I tend to look for beautiful turns of phrases,
interesting images, and brilliant word choices when I'm reading poetry. When I read a poem, I want
to be carried away by the poet's style. I want to stop and read the same line again and again. I want to
have great respect for how writers can make creative changes to languages. I don't necessarily care
what the poem is about. In fact, it may not be about anything. If it's beautifully written, I will
appreciate it.
5.What is mainly talked about in the second paragraph
A.How to write good writing.
B.What is great writing.
C.What is good writing.
D.How to write great writing.
6.What can we learn from the passage
A.Every word of great writing must be carefully chosen.
B.Great writing should be attractive and interesting.
C.People care how super the sentences are.
D.People have different opinions of great writing.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.The author likes any kind of writing.
B.The author's favourite is poetry.
C.The author is really into the poet's style.
D.The author cares much about what a poem conveys.
8.After reading the passage, what can we know
A. The difference between good writing and great writing.
B.Good writing is better than great writing.
C.Good writing is worse than great writing.
D.Good writing is as good as great writing.
