[江苏南京师大附中2020高一期中]I was taking in the breathtaking view at the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge when I sensed I was about to witness something even more dramatic right in front of me. Although we were all tied to lines running along the steel girders，a fellow climber called Mike had somehow managed to drop to one knee and turn to face his girlfriend, Wendy. I knew what was coming. “Wendy，will you marry me？” he asked. There was a quick smile and an attempted kiss and then a big beam. Mike had the answer he hoped for and all of us burst into a round of applause.
Apparently more than 2，000 couples have become engaged at the summit since 1998，when it became possible to climb it in organised tour groups. The bridge，perhaps the most recognised symbol of this beautiful city，opened in 1932. It’s still the world’s largest steel-arch bridge.
We returned to the fantastic view: the famous Sydney Opera House, ferries and sailboats making their way through the harbour, the city skyline—but I had to force myself to look down. We had climbed 1, 423 steps to the top of the bridge and I didn’t know whether to be delighted or scared.
Nicole Kidman has done it. So have Bruce Springsteen, Prince Harry and scores of other celebrities. But climbing to the top clearly isn’t just for the rich and the famous. On the contrary, Australian youngsters do it to celebrate their 12th birthdays. (You have to be at least 12 years old to do the climb.) A 100-year-old woman climbed it and told guides it was on her list of things to do before death.
You can climb during the day, at twilight, or even after dark with headlamps. People climb in al weathers except when there’s lightning in the area. In fact, over two million people have made the three-and-a-half-hour climb to the top of the famous bridge—an venture that cannot be done anywhere else in the world on a bridge this big. That’s probably why this climb has won a lot of tourism awards. Today, the climb is firmly on the “to-do list” for locals as well as tourists.
1. What can we learn about the bridge
A. Getting engaged on the bridge is quite rare.
B. People climb the bridge at climbers’ age.
C. There are no limitations on climbers’ age.
D. Many famous people have done the climb.
2. How did the author feel when he climbed to the top of the bridge
A. Bored and tired.
B. Fearful and confused.
C. Excited and nervous.
D. Relieved and relaxed.
3. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage
A. To introduce the popularity of the bridge.
B. To emphasise the importance of the bridge.
C. To explain the functions of the bridge.
D. To describe the fantastic view from the bridge.

Common Sense Media is a non-profit group in the United States that studies children’s use of media and technology. The group has done a survey asking teachers about the effects of their students’ use of entertainment media.
Entertainment media is defined as the TV shows, music，video games etc that students use for fun. Many teachers said they believe media use has hurt academic performance，which in some cases was already not very good. Vicky Rideout wrote the report for Common Sense Media. “We have two fifths in students feel poor at reading，at oral communication and more than that thing the students wrongly fear report writing. So we need to make sure that everything kids are doing is helping to accelerate progress than preventing it.”
The survey involved 685 teachers around the country. 71% of the teachers said they believe entertainment media has reduced students’ ability to pay attention in class. And almost 60% said it has hurt their writing skills. Many teachers think it has negatively affected students’ ideas about boys and girls relationship. Many also think it encourages aggression and antisocial behaviour. Teachers who described themselves as being “uncomfortable” with new technologies were more likely to see destructive effects of media use on social development than other teachers.
But not all effects of media use are bad. Almost two thirds of teachers said it helped improve the students’ ability to find information quickly and efficiently. And one third said using entertainment media has helped their students to multitask effectively. Only 25% said it just has hurt them. Teachers who considered themselves as tech savvy（精通技术的人）were more likely than others to see the benefit to students’ creativity from the use of entertainment media. Vicky Rideout said teachers accept that the way students spend their time and how they like to learn has changed.
1. Vicky Rideout holds the view that entertainment media ________.
A. affects students’ grades negatively
B. influences students' academic performance
C. improves learning progress
D. makes all students poor at writing
2. Teachers who described themselves as tech savvy were more likely than others to ________.
A. see negative effects of media
B. make students aggressive
C. teach students the use of media
D. see the advantage of media use
3. What is the author’s attitude towards the students’ entertainment media use
A. Supportive.
B. Negative.
C. Objective.
D. Subjective.
