疫情中手机应用迎来新发展
Since the novel coronavirus outbreak, many people have been forced to stay at home for long
periods of time to protect themselves from the virus. This has given people more free time to learn
new skills and find different ways to entertain themselves.
Some of these activities include things like singing, learning to cook and ordering fresh food
online. All of these things can be done in the palm of your hand with mobile apps.
Before, young people would go outside and meet friends at karaoke bars. Now, friends can
meet and sing on the mobile karaoke app Changba, which translates to Singing Bar. “The
Changba app not only gives me the chance to sing whatever I like at home, but also lets me keep
in touch with friends by sharing our songs,” said an app user.
Some people have also taken up cooking as a new hobby to pass the time. You don’t need to
attend culinary school, thanks to apps like Xiachufang and Ecook, which make it easier for those
who want to learn how to cook. These apps provide a platform for users to look up different
recipes and to share their own recipes with others. “Using this app, I have learned many new and
healthy dishes which help me eat better,” an app user commented on the app’s website.
To help people avoid crowded places like grocery stores, apps that deliver goods right to your
door have also become very popular. “It is noteworthy that the epidemic has attracted new groups
of consumers, such as elderly people, who originally didn’t belong to our target user group,”
Zhang Yi, an analyst from the market research company iiMedia Research, said.
Indeed, during this special time, these apps have opened up a whole new world of
opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds. (324 words)

1. What did the author tell us about Changba in Paragraph 3
A. It is more user-friendly than karaoke bars.

2. What does the article tell us about food-delivery apps
A. They have lost many young customers.
B. They have opened culinary classes for their users.
C. They have more elderly users than before.
D. They have caused many grocery stores to close.
3. Which of the following shows the structure of the article (①②③④⑤⑥ = Paragraphs
1-6)
① ①
① ①②③④⑤
②
② ③ ④⑤
③ ④ ⑤
②③ ④ ⑤⑥ ⑥
⑥ ⑥
A B C D
4. What is the purpose of the article
A. To tell people how to make full use of mobile apps.
B. To advertise mobile apps used for different purposes.
C. To show how people kill time during self-isolation.
D. To introduce the mobile apps people use during self-isolation.

like at home, but also lets me keep in touch with friends by sharing our songs。“唱吧”不仅能让我
唱自己喜欢的歌曲，而且能让我通过分享歌曲和朋友保持联系。故 C 项正确。
2. C 细节判断题。根据文章第 5 段，It is noteworthy that the epidemic has attracted new groups
of consumers, such as elderly people, who originally didn’t belong to our target user group.值得
注意的是，疫情吸引了新的消费群体，比如老年人，他们原本不属于我们的目标用户群体。

阅读理解（二）
You should see the photo. I’m sitting in red dirt, wearing an ugly purple T-shirt. My face is
pink and my hair is wet with sweat. Flies buzz around my head. I’m in the Outback (内陆)
of Australia’s Northwest Territory, on a school trip with 20 parents and 20 kids.
It was an odd choice for a holiday. I like sitting by the pool with a cola, not flies and frogs. I
like being alone and quiet, not a busload of kids. I like freshly washed sheets, not dirty-looking
blankets.
But here’s the thing about that photo: I am smiling!
The trip sounded good when I signed up. Guides would take us into the heart of the place,
and I would see a new part of Australia, learn about local culture and bond with my youngest
daughter. I would also bond with 40 strangers. I just hoped there would be good coffee.
In Darwin, we were herded onto a bus. It quickly became tiresome. The kids were loud and I
hate making small talk.
But later, when I looked out at the vast, empty land, I was surprised at and moved by its
beauty. Our guide told us about the land and his culture. I felt far from home.
At a national park, we enjoyed a natural swimming hole. Kids and parents had a great time.
Then we got to the outback. The cabin I shared with my daughter was a brick cell, full of
geckos (壁虎) and crickets (蟋蟀), but too dark to see them.
It didn’t matter. The next nine days were packed: waterfalls, lakes, community visits and a
trip around Katharine Gorge. We even saw giant crocodiles (鳄鱼) and baby wallabies (沙袋鼠).
On our last night, a water pipe broke. We awoke to a mess. Usually, I would have
complained and asked for a refund, but it just seemed normal to be dirty.
Indeed, it was impossible to stay clean. We were hiking in red dirt, with temperatures of 35
degrees. Still, I felt a kind of energy I hadn’t experienced in years.
Yes, the coffee was bad, but I was too focused on keeping crickets off my face.
I love that photo of me in the dirt. I look messy, but also happy. Sometimes, it’s another way
of traveling. There is beautiful scenery, there is dirt. There was always someone to talk to,
someone to laugh with. (421 words)
1. What were the author’s previous trips like, according to the article
A. Cheap. B. Adventurous.
C. Peaceful and comfortable. D. Packed with outdoor activities.
2. What do we know about the author’s trip with her daughter
A. Their journey was relaxing without too much sightseeing.
B. Their living conditions were fairly poor during the trip.
C. The scenery on the trip disappointed them.
D. The parents seemed to enjoy themselves more than the children.
3. How did the author feel during the later part of the trip
A. Impatient. B. Positive. C. Disappointed. D. Exhausted.
4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article
A. To warn readers to choose their trips wisely.
B. To share the benefits of traveling with children.
C. To tell about her latest trip and explain what she learned from it.
D. To show the advantages of going to different places.
【词汇积累】
1. herd v. 驱赶
2. tiresome adj. 烦人的，令人厌烦的
3. refund n.退款
4. an odd choice 奇怪的选择
【答案】CBBC
【文章大意】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去澳大利亚旅行的经历。从一开始的
厌烦抵抗，到慢慢接受，作者最终度过了一个开心有益的假期。
1. C 判断推理题。根据文章“I like sitting by the pool with a cola, not flies and frogs. I like things
to be peaceful, the complete opposite to a busload of kids. I like freshly washed sheets”可猜测，作
者之前的旅行较为安静惬意，故答案为 C。
2. B 判断推理题。根据文章“It was a brick cell, full of geckos and crickets, but it was too dark
actually to see them”和“On our last night, a water pipe broke and we awoke to a huge
mess”等可判断，整个旅途作者和女儿的住宿卫生条件都不好，故答案为 B。
3. B 判断推理题。根据文章“I look messy, but also happy”可判断，作者习惯之后对于旅行是
很乐观的，答案为 B。
4. C 主旨大意题。作者讲述了自己由不喜欢这个旅行到慢慢习惯到最后发现这也是旅行的一
种形式的过程，答案为 C。

（2018 全国卷 II，C 篇）
Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense
Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows
that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help
encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for
fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent
and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain
largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to
an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for
data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still
limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as
examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and
teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more
books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them
to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom ahead, parents might
take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the
library or bookstore. (301 words)
1. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about
A. Children’s reading habits. B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities. D. Parent-child relationships.
2. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
3. Why do many parents limit electronic reading
A. E-books are of poor quality. B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health. D. E-readers are expensive.
4. How should parents encourage their children to read more
A. Act as role models for them. B. Ask them to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them. D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
【词汇积累】
1. proportion n.比例
2. loom v.逼近
3. respectively adv. 分别地
4. set aside 留出
5. counsel v.建议
6. tablet n.平板电脑
7. When it comes to...当提及...
【答案】ABCA
【文章大意】本文是一篇典型的新闻体裁的文章。文章的主题是关于青少年和儿童阅读的一
个调查报告。第一段和第二段是导语部分，点出了该报告最重要的发现和意义：虽然阅读在
青少年和儿童的生活中占据重要的地位，但是他们越来越不再以兴趣为目的阅读了；该报告
的结果还表明了父母应当如何促进孩子阅读。第三段到第六段是文章的主体部分，具体展开
介绍了该报告的调查结果。第七段为结语，承接第六段的研究发现，呼吁家长着手培养孩子
的阅读习惯。
1. A 主旨大意题，根据第三，四，五段可知，该报告是关于儿童阅读习惯的。此外，文中
的关键词如 reading，teen readers，reading levels，infrequent readers，reading list 也印证了答
案，因此选 A。
2. B 细节理解题。文章的第三段提到“the proportion who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has
gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27
percent respectively today”，即 13 岁和 17 岁青少年不是出于兴趣阅读的人数增加了，可以证
明题干中的“children are reading a lot less for fun”，因此选 B。
3. C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段，由“It does point out that many parents still limit electronic
reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time”可知，很多家长限制孩子阅读电子
书，主要是担心孩子看屏幕的时间太长了。即父母担心孩子看屏幕时间太长是因为会伤眼，
故选 C。
4. A 细节理解题。根据文章第六段，关于家长应当如何培养孩子的阅读习惯。“The most
hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and
important guides for their kids when it comes to reading”，家长在阅读方面给孩子树立好榜样以
及提供指导可以促进孩子养成良好的阅读习惯，所以 A 选项为正确答案。Unit 1 A new Start

疫情中手机应用迎来新发展
Since the novel coronavirus outbreak, many people have been forced to stay at home for long
periods of time to protect themselves from the virus. This has given people more free time to learn
new skills and find different ways to entertain themselves.
Some of these activities include things like singing, learning to cook and ordering fresh food
online. All of these things can be done in the palm of your hand with mobile apps.
Before, young people would go outside and meet friends at karaoke bars. Now, friends can
meet and sing on the mobile karaoke app Changba, which translates to Singing Bar. “The
Changba app not only gives me the chance to sing whatever I like at home, but also lets me keep
in touch with friends by sharing our songs,” said an app user.
Some people have also taken up cooking as a new hobby to pass the time. You don’t need to
attend culinary school, thanks to apps like Xiachufang and Ecook, which make it easier for those
who want to learn how to cook. These apps provide a platform for users to look up different
recipes and to share their own recipes with others. “Using this app, I have learned many new and
healthy dishes which help me eat better,” an app user commented on the app’s website.
To help people avoid crowded places like grocery stores, apps that deliver goods right to your
door have also become very popular. “It is noteworthy that the epidemic has attracted new groups
of consumers, such as elderly people, who originally didn’t belong to our target user group,”
Zhang Yi, an analyst from the market research company iiMedia Research, said.
Indeed, during this special time, these apps have opened up a whole new world of
opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds. (324 words)

You should see the photo. I’m sitting in red dirt, wearing an ugly purple T-shirt. My face is
pink and my hair is wet with sweat. Flies buzz around my head. I’m in the Outback (内陆) of
Australia’s Northwest Territory, on a school trip with 20 parents and 20 kids.
It was an odd choice for a holiday. I like sitting by the pool with a cola, not flies and frogs. I
like being alone and quiet, not a busload of kids. I like freshly washed sheets, not dirty-looking
blankets.
But here’s the thing about that photo: I am smiling!
The trip sounded good when I signed up. Guides would take us into the heart of the place,
and I would see a new part of Australia, learn about local culture and bond with my youngest
daughter. I would also bond with 40 strangers. I just hoped there would be good coffee.
In Darwin, we were herded onto a bus. It quickly became tiresome. The kids were loud and I
hate making small talk.
But later, when I looked out at the vast, empty land, I was surprised at and moved by its
beauty. Our guide told us about the land and his culture. I felt far from home.
At a national park, we enjoyed a natural swimming hole. Kids and parents had a great time.
Then we got to the outback. The cabin I shared with my daughter was a brick cell, full of
geckos (壁虎) and crickets (蟋蟀), but too dark to see them.
It didn’t matter. The next nine days were packed: waterfalls, lakes, community visits and a
trip around Katharine Gorge. We even saw giant crocodiles (鳄鱼) and baby wallabies (沙袋鼠).
On our last night, a water pipe broke. We awoke to a mess. Usually, I would have
complained and asked for a refund, but it just seemed normal to be dirty.
Indeed, it was impossible to stay clean. We were hiking in red dirt, with temperatures of 35
degrees. Still, I felt a kind of energy I hadn’t experienced in years.
Yes, the coffee was bad, but I was too focused on keeping crickets off my face.
I love that photo of me in the dirt. I look messy, but also happy. Sometimes, it’s another way
of traveling. There is beautiful scenery, there is dirt. There was always someone to talk to,
someone to laugh with. (421 words)

（2018 全国卷 II，C 篇）
Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense
Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows
that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help
encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for
fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent
and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain
largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to
an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for
data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still
limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as
examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and
teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more
books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them
to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom ahead, parents might
take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the
library or bookstore. (301 words)
1. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about
A. Children’s reading habits. B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities. D. Parent-child relationships.
2. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
3. Why do many parents limit electronic reading
A. E-books are of poor quality. B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health. D. E-readers are expensive.
4. How should parents encourage their children to read more
A. Act as role models for them. B. Ask them to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them. D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
