[2016·惠州二调]Lee's mother Sun became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled man. Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal. She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, South Korea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury. The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.
When Lee was a pre－schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons. One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher who did accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit. It was a three－month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children's song. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners. It was at the age of 7 that Lee won Korea's 19th National Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.
Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Her first album titled “Hee－ah, a Pianist with Four Fingers” was released in June, 2008.
Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”
本文是一篇人物介绍，介绍了韩国著名残疾人钢琴家Lee的人生，从出生残疾到后期的成功都应归功于她伟大的母亲Sun。
4．Which of the following can best describe Sun?
A．Stubborn and devoted.
B．Impatient and strict.
C．Enthusiastic and hardworking.
D．Honest and responsible.
答案：A 推理判断题。从第一段Sun怀孕检查结果而Lee出生后的情况介绍看出母亲的stubborn，并从一心培养Lee方面看出她的devoted。
5．What was probably in Lee's mind when on the floor?
A．Learning piano was too difficult for her.
B．Life was unfair to her.
C．She would try her best to learn piano.
D．Her mother didn't love her any more.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第二段“But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children's song.”可以推断。
6．When was Lee awarded by the president of Korea?
A．1985. B．1992.
C．2008. D．2007.

7．What's the best title of the passage？
A．A 4－finger pianist
B．Love between mother and daughter
C．Learning piano

[2016·江津质检]Today's youngsters use smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices (设备) more than ever before. And the amount of time they spend on these devices is only likely to increase in the future. But are all these changes good?
We sometimes call children who are able to use mobile devices and technology easily digital natives. They can text, e－mail, get Wi－Fi, and download. Some experts say that long periods of time spent chatting to friends online, playing video games and listening to mp3s, for example, may possibly change how their brains work.
Then there is the question of privacy. All this online activity creates a digital footprint. Every time we share a photo or a post on social media, and every time we search for something on the Internet, information about our activity is stored somewhere.
Our inability to control what happens to our children's digital footprint—and their personal privacy－has big possibilities. It might become normal for companies to ask their employees for their social media qualifications. We are also becoming more aware that companies and governments may be able to “listen in” on our communications. So it is important to make our children aware of the possible results of oversharing.
Another area where the digital world may have a big effect is in education. One worry is that kids who spend a lot of time online at home are sometimes unable to socialize properly with other children when they are at school. Other experts point out that, when it comes to children and technology, the children are the experts, not the teachers. They say that we should stop seeing online as “bad” and offline as “good” －and there is evidence of innovative (革新的) work in some schools.
So, do we really need to rescue our children from the dangers of the digital world?
本文分析的是各种高科技产品的出现对孩子的影响有好有坏，那我们该如何权衡利弊是最重要的。
1．According to the second paragraph, what is the possible effect of digital childhood?
A．Children can grow up quickly.
B．Children can read texts fluently.
C．Children's way of thinking may be changed.
D．Children may become mentally disabled.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“...may possibly change how their brains work.”可知。
2．All the following may happen to our digital footprints EXCEPT ________.
A．when surfing the Internet, our digital footprints are saved
B．some business societies may take advantage of the information
C．government may look into our communication through the Internet
D．digital pictures may be printed by our computer automatically
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知A正确，由第四段第二句和第三句可知B、C正确。故答案选D项，未涉及。
3．Why are many teachers doubtful about digital technology?
A．Because some students cannot do well in studies.
B．Because some teachers haven't changed for years.
C．Because some students addicted to digital technology cannot socialize well.
D．Because some teachers addicted to tradition technology cannot teach well.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第五段“One worry is that kids who spend a lot of time online at home are sometimes unable to socialize properly with other children...”可知。
4．Which of the following can summarize the main idea of the text?
A．Do we need to rescue our kids from the digital world?
B．Should children learn to use digital technology?
C．Are there changes in children's school life?
D．Should teachers accept changes in our life?
答案：A 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段内容，可以作出判断答案是A。
1．technology n. 技术 2.privacy n. 隐私，私事
3．possibility n. 可能性 4.properly adv. 恰当地；适当地
5．rescue v. 援救，营救
1．search for 寻找，搜寻 2.point out 指出
原文：When it comes to children and technology, the children are the experts, not the teachers.[when it comes to (doing) sth. “当提到……的时候”]
译文：就儿童与科技而论，儿童是专家，而不是老师。
仿写：When_it_comes_to_diet_and_exercise,_we know what to do, but we don't do what we know.
当提到饮食和运动的时候，我们都知道怎么去做，但我们不会按照我们知道的去做。

[2016·山西四校联考]Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty？ Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far－fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.
Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week－long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.
All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”， older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.
American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand－up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe's first test one, with a seven－week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth－grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.
The findings of these studies and others done previously， all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win－win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.
本文讲述的是一类新型的课堂——学生和教师均站着上课，经过在很多学校试验证实：这种模式的课堂更有利于师生健康，同时，也有助于学生集中注意力。
5．According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that ________.
A．they have to exchange desks with each other
B．they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats
C．there are no seats for them to sit in class
D．the officials show no sympathy to them at all
答案：C 细节理解题。根据“— Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math...”可知。
6．According to the teachers, older students may not like stand－up desks because ________.
A．they are cleverer than younger students
B．they are easily tired of standing long
C．they have formed the habit of sitting
D．they do badly in class while standing
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段：最后一句“older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.”可知。
7．What is most likely to be the result of the seven－week trial?
A．The standing desks can't be used at all.
B．It is good for students to use stand－up desks.
C．More tests should be done in other schools.
D．The students are different in personality.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.”可知答案是B。
8．Why do the teachers like the standing desks?
A．Because the educators can draw the students' attention.
B．Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.
C．Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.
D．Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据参与实验的25名老师的反馈可以看出，这种课堂会使学生注意力集中，可知答案。
1．exchange n．/v. 交换 2.cruelty n. 残酷
3．consumption n. 消耗 4.unexpected adj. 未预料到的
5．previously adv. 以前地，先前地
1．participate in 参与，参加

[2016·哈六中期中]When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?
Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented， are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.
Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.
Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self－centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life's labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can't find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people”， thinking they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.
With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low－level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual's freedom and right to work and can deprive (剥夺) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.
本文是一篇关于老年人何时退休的议论文，并阐述了老年人退休这一现象的利与弊。
4．What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To explain the compulsory age limit.
B．To discuss the retirement age.
C．To examine people's working life.
D．To introduce a particular stage.
答案：B 主旨大意题。考查作者的写作目的，根据第二段最后一句话“This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.”可看出是讨论在何时退休合适。
5．Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage?
A．Their contribution should be valued.
B．Their experience should be made use of.
C．They can help the youngsters.
D．They are loyal employees.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段中列举的赞成老年人继续工作的理由中“First of all...A second point... However, a more important point is...”可看出C项没有提到。
6．It can be inferred in the fourth passage that ________.
A．the young people have more creative spirits
B．modern advances in medicine make old people never die
C．pensions and freedom are not given to the old now
D．old people believe that a younger person could do better
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第四段“Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff.”可推断出A。其他三项的内容均与原文不符。
7．The passage is arranged as follows:
答案：A 文章结构题。文章就老年人是否退休及在何时退休展开论述，先总述作者观点，然后分两部分展开讨论，最后作者又表达了自己的看法，文章结构为“总—分—总”的结构。
1．talented adj. 有天赋的；有才华的
2．retire vi. 退休
3．argument n. 争辩；辩论
4．indicate vt. 暗示；表示
5．frustrated adj. 泄气的；失意的
1．in one's fifties 在某人50多岁时
2．be irrelevant to 与……不相关
原文：With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low－level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers.(with复合结构)
译文：由于很多年轻人失业或在低水平职位上很沮丧，便产生了一些年龄更大一些的工人义务退休的呼声。
