Ⅴ. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了自己生活中离不开手机、电脑等,但是在自己的历史课上禁止学生使用这些电子设备,因为它们会影响深入交流和学生独立思考的能力。
1. D 细节理解题。由第二段中“Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas in the classroom, I have a rule—no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance, some of them were not happy.”可知,作者希望学生们在课堂上能够深入学习材料并交流,禁止学生在课上使用笔记本电脑、iPad、手机等,这个禁止使用电子设备的规定让一些学生不高兴。故选D。
2. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The real reason is that I think there are very few places where we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration. I want them to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.”可知,作者认为科技的使用会破坏学生的注意力,让学生依赖这些电子设备来获取信息,在课堂上不使用这些电子设备能够让学生更加独立地思考,更好地投入到课程材料和课堂讨论中。故选A。
3. A 推理判断题。根据第四段“I’ve been teaching my history class this way for many years. The evaluations reflect students’ satisfaction with the environment that I create.”可知,作者的历史课受学生欢迎,学生非常满意,评估结果也非常高。故选A。
4. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“…but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.”可知,没有真正好的理由,作者是不会改变历史课上禁止使用科技的想法的,因为几个小时的无科技对话特别好,不能放弃;由此可知,作者真正想要传达的信息是几个小时的无科技对话将让人们收获很多。故选D。
Ⅵ. 【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在数字时代,屏幕使人眼睛疲劳,并介绍了实体书带来的好处。
1. G 根据前文“With the popularity of mobile phones and other electronic devices, more and more e-book products are created and these products have brought convenience to many young readers.”和后文“If you’re interested in printed books, here are some benefits they bring about.”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出实体书更有好处。故G选项“然而,实体书比电子书更有利于学习”符合语境,故选G。
2. B 根据本段内容“When people settle in to read the latest must-read novel in print, they don’t get those annoying notifications (通知) in electronic reading.”可知,本段的主旨是读纸质书不容易因为通知打扰到阅读。故B选项“少打扰”符合语境,故选B。
3. E 根据后文“But it’s much worse reading on screens.”可知,后文提到了看屏幕阅读更容易眼疲劳,因此本句是在比较两种阅读方式对眼疲劳的影响。故E选项“人们在这两种媒介上阅读都会感到眼疲劳”符合语境,故选E。
4. D 根据标题“Greater academic achievements.”以及后文“The authors of a June 2014 study published in Oxford Academics looked at data examining academic performance…”可知,后文主要说明了对学生学习成绩数据的研究并得出了结论,故推测本句是在说明其研究的具体结论。故D选项“家里的书的数量对孩子的学习表现有很大的影响”符合语境,故选D。
5. C 根据上文“In a 2015 study, researchers at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, found that study participants reading digital books took longer to fall asleep and were less sleepy.”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出人们应该在睡前不使用电子阅读设备,这样能更好入睡。故C选项“因此,人们最好在睡觉前一小时关闭电子阅读设备”符合语境,故选C。
Ⅶ. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一部名为《逃出大英博物馆》的系列短片以感人的描述和富有创意的故事在中国互联网上走红。
1. its 考查代词。分析句子成分可知,空处应用形容词性物主代词its,修饰空后的名词way。故填its。
2. touching 考查形容词。分析句子成分可知,空处应用形容词修饰空后的description。故填touching。
3. Directed 考查非谓语动词。此处应用非谓语动词作状语,direct的逻辑主语为the three-episode series,它们之间为被动关系,用过去分词形式;单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填Directed。
4. a 考查冠词。此处修饰可数名词单数journey,表示泛指,用不定冠词。故填a。
5. who 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,先行词为a Chinese journalist,关系词在非限制性定语从句中作主语,用who引导。故填who。
6. has drawn 考查动词时态及主谓一致。这里为本句谓语动词,根据时间状语since the series came out可知,本句时态应用现在完成时;主语为it,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has drawn。
7. on 考查介词。短语the comments on意为“对……的评论”。故填on。
8. to see 考查非谓语动词。短语hope to do sth意为“希望做某事”。故填to see。
9. popularity 考查名词。分析句子成分可知,定冠词the后应用名词形式作主语。故填popularity。
10. truly 考查副词。空处修饰形容词inspiring,用副词形式。故填truly。Unit 6 THE MEDIA
No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus on doing one specific job.
Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn’t make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or do any other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought other farmers would trade what they grow for one of his plows.
How did Mr Plowright let people know what he was doing He advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr Plowright and his really good plows. That may be the earliest form of advertisement.

●Ⅴ 阅读理解
The classroom, the bathroom, the outdoors—my smart phone is always in hand as if it were some magic self-defense tool capable of protecting me from all evil in the world. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas in the classroom, I have a rule—no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students. The real reason is that I think there are very few places where we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration. I want them to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class this way for many years. The evaluations reflect students’ satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep course materials beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
( )1. What upset some students most at the beginning
A. The topics for class discussions.
B. The requirements for idea exchange.
C. The materials chosen for the course.
D. The ban on electronic devices in class.
( )2. Why are the students asked to give up technology in class
A. To push them to be more involved.
B. To make connections with information.
C. To explore their potentials to study better.
D. To introduce them to more complex themes.
( )3. What can be inferred about the author’s classes
A. They are well received and highly assessed.
B. The study environment is far from satisfactory.
C. They show his attitude against high technology.
D. The managers are promoted by attending the classes.
( )4. What message does the writer really want to convey
A. He will stick to this practice until he changes for a new job.
B. Technology is an effective way to relate teachers to students.
C. Unpleasant experiences can be the beginning of some new rules.
D. A few hours of technology-free dialogue will harvest a lot.

With the popularity of mobile phones and other electronic devices, more and more e-book products are created and these products have brought convenience to many young readers. 1. . If you’re interested in printed books, here are some benefits they bring about.
2. .
When people settle in to read the latest must-read novel in print, they don’t get those annoying notifications (通知) in electronic reading. “Unless you’ve taken the time to turn off all the notifications, a digital reader is designed to interrupt,” Baron says.
Less eye strain (眼疲劳).
3. . But it’s much worse reading on screens. “If you look at what students say—my eyes hurt or I have headaches—overwhelmingly they noticed greater eye strain reading digitally,” says Baron.
Greater academic achievements.
4. . The authors of a June 2014 study published in Oxford Academics looked at data examining academic performance of 200,000-plus students in 42 nations taking the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and reached the conclusion.
Better sleep.
There are plenty of studies that show that reading on digital devices like phones and e-readers will negatively impact sleep. In a 2015 study, researchers at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, found that study participants reading digital books took longer to fall asleep and were less sleepy. 5. . In that way eyes and the mind have time to relax.
Educational trends come and go, so maybe the shift back to traditional books won’t last. But for the moment, I find myself standing at attention, relaxing my textbook-built shoulders and preparing for their glorious return.
A. Fewer notifications
B. Less interruption
C. Thus people had better turn e-reading devices off one hour before bedtime
D. The number of books in a family home strongly influences children’s academic performance
E. People experience eye strain from reading in both media
F. People suffer eye strain from digital reading
