My problems started after I went to a boarding (寄宿) school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found that I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends — but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was staying with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union (学生会). I thought I could win, for I was doing well in school. I had already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”
24. What was the writer’s problem when she was first in the boarding school
A. She didn’t like her new school. B. She didn’t like her new teacher.
C. She missed her family very much. D. She didn’t get along well with her classmates.
25. Many of the writer’s friends in her new school were ______.
A. teachers B. women C. girls D. boys
26. Why did the writer fail to join the Student Union
A. Her teachers didn’t like her. B. Some girls didn’t choose her.
C. She was a poor student. D. She likes showing off herself.
27. Which of the following is not true, according to the passage
A. The teacher thought she was an excellent student.
B. The writer won prizes for the best science and English exams.
C. The writer was sad because she failed to join the Student Union.
D. The writer didn’t realize her friendships with boys would cause problems.
C
How would you live a life without your smartphone For many of us, it’s the tool we are hooked on — looking at it hundreds of times a day. We depend on it to perform a lot of tasks and to connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted(上瘾) to our phones
Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people should stop flooding the screen and “get a life”. But once we start watching the screen or videos, we just can’t kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says, “we’re all guilty of unconsciously checking our phones if waiting for a text or getting really into social media, then looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.” There’s even a word — a phubber — to describe a person who ignores the real people around because they’re concentrating on their phones.
But does it matter if we make the most of this technology Possibly, because like a drug, the problem arises when it is taken away. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such addictive behaviour means that people become ‘anxious’ or ‘upset’ if they are asked to stop using their phone frequently, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems.
Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics and Political Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones because we are reminded to by a text or email. The people they studied felt automatically eager to interact with their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. Prof Saadi Lahlou, co-author of the study, told the BBC: “We must learn tricks to avoid the temptation(诱惑) when we want to concentrate or have good social relations.”
One solution could be an app that rewards students for time spent away from their phones. Another option is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the attractions on it. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!
28. What do the underlined words “are hooked on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Are crazy about. B. Are eager for.
C. Are responsible for. D. Are independent of.
29. What do people call the person who ignores the real world because of smartphones
A. A gamer. B. A phubber. C. A smoker. D. A teenager.
30. What makes people become anxious in Paragraph 3
A. Breaking their habits of watching videos.
B. Losing control of the time on their phones.
C. Being stopped using their phones more often.
D. Being stuck in serious mental health problems.
31. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To show a newly-found problem.
B. To point out the importance of phones.
C. To encourage people to use dumbphone.
D. To call on people to use phones properly.
D
Rollins College’s graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school’s graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology. “You have a voice. Use it,” she advised graduates. It seems funny that a non-speaking autistic (孤独症患者) encourages you to use your voice. However, her moving speech touched not only her fellow classmates but also the worldwide audience with a powerful message of hope.
Throughout her academic career, Elizabeth has studied hard to reach her goals at school and in life. She wrote a book, I Am in Here, which highlights the abilities of people like her with non-speaking autism. She also founded a non-profit organization called Communication 4 All.
Elizabeth has a form of autism that resulted in her losing the ability to speak when she was 15 months old. After she lost her speech her family helped her learn to communicate by typing. She has become a supporter of assistive communication and typing instruction for those with non-speaking autism.
“I have typed this speech with one finger with a communication partner holding a keyboard,” shared Elizabeth. She gave her persuasive speech through text-to-speech technology.
Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. She strongly believes that service to others gives meaning to each individual and to those they serve.
Throughout her life, Elizabeth has sought a platform where others would hear and accept her. She ignored negative comments and the low expectations others had for her life. Instead, she walked down her own path and set out to realize her dreams using intellect, talent and determination. She encouraged her fellow classmates to use their education and the power of their own minds to help make their dream a reality.
32. What effect does Elizabeth’s speech have on the audience
A. It brings them hope.
B. It inspires them to use technology.
C. It informs them of more about autism.
D. It encourages them to make speeches.
33 What did Elizabeth’s family do after she was unable to speak
A. They tried their best to teach her how to speak.
B. They started a non-profit organization for her.
C. They helped her find another way of communication.
D. They created the text-to-speech technology to help her.
34. Why did Elizabeth choose social service as her major
A. To develop her potential and strengths.
B. To get better employment opportunities.
C. To make her childhood dream come true.
D. To help more people like her in the world.
35. Which words can be used to describe Elizabeth
A. Positive and creative.
B. Strong-minded and helpful.
C. Energetic and humorous.
D. Kind-hearted and imaginative.

Once there was a little girl Lily who was very friendly and popular in her class. She was friends with everyone in her class. There was no one in class who did not like her. She was very kind and would always be busy with her friends. She felt very happy that she had so many friends at school and in her neighborhood.
On Friendship Day, her class organized an event, in which everyone had to make three presents and give them to their best friends. Lily was really looking forward to the coming Friendship Day as she was expecting gifts from her friends. However, when all the presents were shared among her classmates, she was the only one who hadn’t received any presents. She felt terrible and cried a lot. She wondered how that was possible. She had made so much effort to be friends with everyone but in the end no one thought of her as one of their best friends.
Everyone came and tried to comfort her for a while but each one only stayed for a short time before leaving. This was exactly what Lily had done so many times to others.
On that day when she got home, her mother saw her sad face. And then her mother asked her the reason for her sadness. “Where can I find true friends ” Lily asked. Her mother was surprised at her question. Then she asked Lily what had happened in school. Her mother comfort her and said, “You cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and love. For a true friend you must always be available，in good times and bad.”
Lily replied, “But I want to be friends with everyone!”

My problems started after I went to a boarding (寄宿) school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found that I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends — but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was staying with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union (学生会). I thought I could win, for I was doing well in school. I had already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”
24. What was the writer’s problem when she was first in the boarding school
A. She didn’t like her new school. B. She didn’t like her new teacher.
C. She missed her family very much. D. She didn’t get along well with her classmates.

How would you live a life without your smartphone For many of us, it’s the tool we are hooked on — looking at it hundreds of times a day. We depend on it to perform a lot of tasks and to connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted(上瘾) to our phones
Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people should stop flooding the screen and “get a life”. But once we start watching the screen or videos, we just can’t kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says, “we’re all guilty of unconsciously checking our phones if waiting for a text or getting really into social media, then looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.” There’s even a word — a phubber — to describe a person who ignores the real people around because they’re concentrating on their phones.
But does it matter if we make the most of this technology Possibly, because like a drug, the problem arises when it is taken away. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such addictive behaviour means that people become ‘anxious’ or ‘upset’ if they are asked to stop using their phone frequently, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems.
Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics and Political Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones because we are reminded to by a text or email. The people they studied felt automatically eager to interact with their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. Prof Saadi Lahlou, co-author of the study, told the BBC: “We must learn tricks to avoid the temptation(诱惑) when we want to concentrate or have good social relations.”
One solution could be an app that rewards students for time spent away from their phones. Another option is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the attractions on it. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!
28. What do the underlined words “are hooked on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Are crazy about. B. Are eager for.
C Are responsible for. D. Are independent of.
29. What do people call the person who ignores the real world because of smartphones
A. A gamer. B. A phubber. C. A smoker. D. A teenager.
30. What makes people become anxious in Paragraph 3
A. Breaking their habits of watching videos.
B. Losing control of the time on their phones.
C. Being stopped using their phones more often.
D. Being stuck in serious mental health problems.
31. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To show a newly-found problem.
B. To point out the importance of phones.
C. To encourage people to use dumbphone.
D. To call on people to use phones properly.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文讨论了我们是否对智能手机上瘾，研究表明智能手机使用过度会导致焦虑和心理健康问题。作者建议通过应用程序或更改智能手机为“傻瓜手机”等方式来避免上瘾，并呼吁我们应该多看看周围的世界，与现实世界重新建立联系。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“For many of us, it’s the tool we are hooked on — looking at it hundreds of times a day. (对于我们中的许多人来说，它是我们……的工具——每天查看数百次。)”可知，每天查看数百次手机，它对我们来说是痴迷的，故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“There’s even a word — a phubber — to describe a person who ignores the real people around because they’re concentrating on their phones. (甚至有一个词——低头族——来形容一个忽视周围真实人物的人，因为他们专注于手机。)”可知，专注于手机而忽视周围真实人物的人被叫做低头族。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such addictive behaviour means that people become ‘anxious’ or ‘upset’ if they are asked to stop using their phone frequently, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems. (伦敦国王学院的一项研究发现，年轻人无法控制自己花在手机上的时间。这种上瘾行为意味着，如果人们被要求停止经常使用手机，他们会变得“焦虑”或“不安”，这可能会导致焦虑和心理健康问题。)”可知，让人们焦炉的原因是更频繁的停止使用手机。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world! (但最主要的是，也许，我们只需要抬头多看，重新与现实世界建立联系！)”可知，作者是呼吁不要因为手机而失去和现实世界的联系，即正确使用手机。故选D项。

Rollins College’s graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school’s graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology. “You have a voice. Use it,” she advised graduates. It seems funny that a non-speaking autistic (孤独症患者) encourages you to use your voice. However, her moving speech touched not only her fellow classmates but also the worldwide audience with a powerful message of hope.
Throughout her academic career, Elizabeth has studied hard to reach her goals at school and in life. She wrote a book, I Am in Here, which highlights the abilities of people like her with non-speaking autism. She also founded a non-profit organization called Communication 4 All.
Elizabeth has a form of autism that resulted in her losing the ability to speak when she was 15 months old. After she lost her speech her family helped her learn to communicate by typing. She has become a supporter of assistive communication and typing instruction for those with non-speaking autism.
“I have typed this speech with one finger with a communication partner holding a keyboard,” shared Elizabeth. She gave her persuasive speech through text-to-speech technology.
Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. She strongly believes that service to others gives meaning to each individual and to those they serve.
Throughout her life, Elizabeth has sought a platform where others would hear and accept her. She ignored negative comments and the low expectations others had for her life. Instead, she walked down her own path and set out to realize her dreams using intellect, talent and determination. She encouraged her fellow classmates to use their education and the power of their own minds to help make their dream a reality.

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. (Elizabeth主修社会服务专业，目的是帮助世界上3100万孤独症患者。)”可知Elizabeth主修社会服务专业是想帮助世界上更多的跟她一样的孤独症患者；故选D项。

【56题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：对我来说，是蒂姆激发了我最好的一面。结合语意以及空前的the可知，此处用形容词good最高级，表示“最好的一面”。故填best。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：我一个人在操场上走着，突然一个篮球滚到了我脚边。根据句中rolled可知，句子描述过去的情况，且句子使用句型 sb be doing sth. when...，表示“某人正在做某事，这时……”，所以空处应用过去进行时，主语是I，be动词使用was。故填was walking。
【58题详解】

【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：他还帮我做了我很难做的数学，甚至教我如何在新学校独立生活。空处修饰动词live作状语，应填independent的副词形式。故填independently。
【63题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：随着时间的推移，学校生活似乎不再具有挑战性，我们的友谊也迅速发展起来。设空处修饰名词friendship，设空处填形容词性物主代词our。故填our。
【64题详解】

77. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once there was a little girl Lily who was very friendly and popular in her class. She was friends with everyone in her class. There was no one in class who did not like her. She was very kind and would always be busy with her friends. She felt very happy that she had so many friends at school and in her neighborhood.
On Friendship Day, her class organized an event, in which everyone had to make three presents and give them to their best friends. Lily was really looking forward to the coming Friendship Day as she was expecting gifts from her friends. However, when all the presents were shared among her classmates, she was the only one who hadn’t received any presents. She felt terrible and cried a lot. She wondered how that was possible. She had made so much effort to be friends with everyone but in the end no one thought of her as one of their best friends.
Everyone came and tried to comfort her for a while but each one only stayed for a short time before leaving. This was exactly what Lily had done so many times to others.
On that day when she got home, her mother saw her sad face. And then her mother asked her the reason for her sadness. “Where can I find true friends ” Lily asked. Her mother was surprised at her question. Then she asked Lily what had happened in school. Her mother comfort her and said, “You cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and love. For a true friend you must always be available，in good times and bad.”
Lily replied, “But I want to be friends with everyone!”

Lily decided to change her ways and thought how she could make true friends.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Her mother shook her head. She said, "My dear, you are a lovely girl but you can't be a close friend to everybody. There just isn't enough time available for everyone, so it's only possible to have a few true friends. The others will be playmates but they won't be close friends.” Hearing this Lily realized that although she was a good classmate, she had not been a true friend to anyone. She had tried not to argue with anyone and she had tried to pay attention to everyone but now she had found out that was not enough to create true friendships.
Lily decided to change her ways and thought how she could make true friends. Just thinking about that, she realized her mother was always willing to help her. She put up with all of Lily's dislikes and problems, she always forgave her and she loved her a great deal. Lily smiled from ear to ear. She realized that she already had the best friend anyone could ever want.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个叫做Lily 的女孩，在班里和每个人关系都很好，但是在友谊日却没有人把她当成最好的朋友，她的妈妈告诉她要把真正的时间和爱分给一部分人，不是每个人都给一点时间，这样才会有真正的朋友。
