Unit 3 Computers
Most kids have cellphones or tablets (平板) and are texting or using social media all the time. Experts say that parents should use apps to watch out for their children's online activity.
According toa survey, 70 percent of U.S. teens carry cellphones, and Russ Warner, the CEO of Net Nanny, is in the business of protecting kids online. His best advice to parents is to know what is out there and to plan in advance.
“Put a plan into place because kids like to feel protected,” Warner said. “They like to feel like Mom or Dad is helping.”
According to another study, almost 90 percent of children have seen cyber bullying (网络欺凌) in the last year. However, Warner said only 50 percent of parents talk with kids about avoiding these experiences.
“That means the other half don't and that's a problem,” he said.
Warner often speaks to parent groups concerned about keeping their teens safe, “Oftentimes (时常地) if we can't control or we don't understand something, we avoid it and we can't do that anymore.”
He said parents need to talk to their children about online danger, and then they need to use safety software. Parents should know who is trying to communicate with their children and what they are watching online.
Warner added parents also need to understand phone settings (设置). iPhone settings come with restrictions (限制) that are easy to set. Parents can enable restrictions with a code that they know, and their child does not. Parents can also set phones to not allow apps to be downloaded without a passcode.

WHO AM I?
Over time I have been changed quite a lot①. I began as a calculating② machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify③ difficultsums④. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage⑤. After I was programmed⑥ by an operator⑦ who used cards with holes, I could “think” logically⑧ and produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological⑨revolution⑩ and the start of my “artificial?intelligence?”. In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical problem?. From then on?, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room?, and I wondered if I would grow any? larger. However, this reality? also worried my designers. As time went by?, I was made smaller. First as a PC (personal? computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.

[第1段译文]
经过一段时间我已经被改变了很多。1642年我在法国诞生时是一台计算机器。尽管当时我很年轻,但是我能简化一些复杂的数学题。我发育缓慢,差不多到了两百年之后,查尔斯·巴比奇才把我制成了一台分析机。在操作员用穿孔卡为我设计程序后,我能够进行逻辑“思考”,并且能够比任何人更快地算出答案。那时这被当作一次技术革命,也是我“人工智能”的开始。在1936年,我真正的父亲艾伦·图灵写了一本书,讲述了怎样使我成为一台“通用机器”来解决任何数学难题。从那时起,我在体积和脑容量方面迅速成长。到20世纪40年代,我已经长得像一间屋子那么大,我不知道是否还会长得更大。但是,这个现实也使得我的设计者很担心。随着时间的推移,我被做得更小了。自20世纪70年代以来,我一直被用在办公室和家庭里,先是用作个人电脑,后来又做成便携式电脑。
These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes?, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result Itotally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldn't believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in the early 1960s they gave me a family connected by anetwork. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web.
Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!

[第2~3段译文]
这些变化只有随着我的存储能力的不断提高才成为可能。最初是被存储到电子管中,以后是晶体管上,后来是非常小的芯片上。因此,我已经完全改变了我的形状。随着我的年龄越来越大,我也变得越来越小。随着时间的推移,我的记忆能力发展得如此之快,就像一头大象一样,我从来不会忘记告诉我的任何事情!我的存储容量变得如此巨大,连我自己都不能相信!但是我总是孤孤单单地站在那里,直到20世纪60年代初,他们才给了我一个用网络连接的家庭。我能够通过万维网和其他人分享我的知识。,从20世纪70年代起,我又被开发出了很多新的用途。我在通信、金融和贸易领域变得非常重要。我还被放在机器人里面,被用来制作移动电话,并且用来帮助做医疗手术。我甚至还被放置在航空火箭里去探测月球和火星。不管怎样,我的目标是给人类提供高质量的生活。现在我充满了幸福,因为我是人类忠实的朋友并时时给他们提供帮助!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When Mrs. Delgado asked her daughter Sonia to bring blueberry muffins (松饼) to a sick neighbor, Sonia said sure. But when Sonia found out who the neighbor was, she was not so sure. The neighbor's name was Mrs. Craverham, and kids in the neighborhood said she was the most unkind person who ever lived.
Sonia walked up the path to Mrs. Craverham's. She did not like the idea of anyone being sick and alone, but what if the kids were right? A girl in Sonia's science class said that Mrs. Craverham had poked (戳) her with a stick last Halloween. Sometimes there were loud noises heard coming from inside. And a boy in Sonia's math class said Mrs. Craverham had hung him upside down and painted him yellow when he accidentally kicked a soccer ball into her yard. Torn between (左右为难) wanting to help someone in need and not wanting to come home a different color, Sonia decided to be brave.
Finally Sonia knocked on the door. After a few moments, Mrs. Craverham answered the door and asked with impatience, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Sonia said, “My mother heard you were ill. She cooked muffins for you.”
Mrs. Craverham relaxed. “My, that's sweet. I'm sorry if I seemed impolite, but young people sometimes dare each other to come to my door because they think I'm going to do something to them. As soon as I answer the door, they run off and laugh loudly.”
Suddenly, Sonia heard a loud cry. Mrs. Craverham laughed as Sonia jumped. “Oh, that's just Norbert, my parrot (鹦鹉). He's watched too many violent movies — like you, I think!”
1.According to Paragraph 1, Sonia ________.
A.liked blueberry muffins
B.was afraid of Mrs. Craverham
C.knew her sick neighbor very well
D.was the meanest kid in the neighborhood
解析:选B 细节理解题。由该段中的“she was not so sure”和“Mrs. Craverham ... the most unkind person who ever lived”可知,当Sonia得知这位生病的邻居是Craverham太太时,她有些害怕了。
2.Why did Mrs. Craverham answer the door impatiently?
A.She thought it was something unpleasant again.
B.She was tired of meeting visitors.
C.She hated to see Sonia again.
D.She was terribly sick.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“young people sometimes dare each other ... they run off and laugh loudly”可知,Craverham太太之所以不耐烦是因为她以为又是哪个孩子在搞恶作剧,故选A项。
3.What will Mrs. Craverham probably do next?
A.Paint Sonia yellow.
B.Give her parrot to Sonia.
C.Accept Sonia's offerings.
D.Hang Sonia upside down.
解析:选C 推理判断题。由文中Sonia所说的“My mother heard you were ill. She cooked muffins for you”和Craverham太太所说的“My, that's sweet”可知,Craverham太太接下来很可能接受Sonia送来的松饼,故选C项。

C
For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Center, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 13 connect the Internet using a mobile device (移动设备) from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor (监测) his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong,” Julian says.
Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.
Have you ever had to enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety net is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent's permission (允许).
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created, in 1998 — when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.
When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to (适用于) mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give user location (位置).
COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong onilne. That's why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.
“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章告诫人们应该注意上网安全。
7.Julian's parents check his web use to make sure ________.
A.he doesn't watch too many videos
B.he doesn't play computer games
C.he stays safe on the Internet
D.he controls his online time
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To keep him safe online, his parents monitor (监测) his web use”可知,Julian的父母监测他的上网情况是为了确保他的网络安全。
8.How does the author explain children's unpleasant online experiences?
A.By describing his own experiences.
B.By presenting scientific research.
C.By showing differences.
D.By using examples.
解析:选B 写作手法题。根据第三段中的“A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.”可知,作者主要是通过引用研究结果来说明孩子们不愉快的上网经历。
9.People often hold the wrong idea that ________.
A.formal websites are always safe
B.the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C.COPPA can ensure their complete safety
D.daily checks prevent future online problems
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe”可知,人们认为遵循COPPA法案的网站可以确保他们上网的绝对安全,然而事实表明,这是错误的观念。
10.What's the main purpose of the text?
A.To ask parents to look out for their kids.
B.To tell people to be careful online.
C.To offer tips on online safety.
D.To introduce an online law.
解析:选B 写作意图题。通读全文可知,由于上网的方式在发生改变,因此相应的确保上网安全的法案也要进行更新调整,特别是文章最后一句中的“it also can be dangerous if you are not careful”点明文章主旨,即:告诫人们在上网时应该小心谨慎。故B项符合题意。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Internships (实习) are similar to training young students in their chosen paths. Sometimes it is good to get internships internationally. __1__ Getting a summer international internship can be a lot of work but if you know how to get it, it would be all worth it.
Pay a visit to your teacher.
Ask your teacher what internship is best for you in the summer. Ask about international internships and if he can give you any advice. International schools often contact local schools to give them a list of summer internships. Don't just meet him with the internship application form a week away. __2__ Some documents take time to be processed.
Surf the Internet for information.
You can find international schools that need internships on the Internet. __3__ Send out your self-introduction at least one week before. Follow up now and then but not so much that it becomes annoying. You can also contact schools from abroad and ask about their internship programs. Try to ask some questions, as these are important for you to get that internship you need.
Ask your family or friends for help.
Some of your family members may already have an international internship experience, so they can give you some advice. __4__ He may help you land an international summer internship. There is always someone who can direct you to a person who has a way to these internships.
__5__
Most students get internship opportunities to earn money. You should not make money the first of your choices. Make experience and socialization the most important. Some internships give a small allowance (补贴) instead of a full pay. Don't skip these internships.
A.Ask your teachers for details of their experiences.
B.One of your friends might know someone overseas.
C.Take unpaid international internships into consideration.
D.Always prepare your documents at least a month before.
E.These are important for you to get that internship you need.

But you wouldn't have that __9__ if you lived forever. And, since forever is a long time, that means if you didn't __10__ your skill set every few decades (十年), you could be stuck doing the same thing for a very long time.

Furthermore, it would be very __12__ to live forever if the people around you didn't also have that __13__.

Personally?, I think the team that won first place cheated. They had developed? a new type? of program just before the competition. So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too. We are determined to? create an even better system. In a way? our programmer is like our coach?. She programs us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human games?. Then she prepares reliable moves to use if a new situation arises?. In this way I can make up? new moves using my “artificial intelligence”?. I would really like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I'm all about!

[第2段译文]
我第一次足球比赛是几年前在日本的名古屋。去年,我们队去了美国华盛顿州的西雅图比赛,获得了第二名。我个人认为得冠军的那个队作弊了。他们恰恰在比赛前研制了一种新程序。因此我们也需要鼓励我们的程序编制员来提高我们的智能。我们决心创造一个更好的系统。从某种程度上看,我们的程序员就像是我们的教练。她把观看人类比赛时所看到的一切可能的动作编入我们的程序,然后她把我们在新情况下能用得上的可靠动作准备好。这样,我就可以用我的“人工智能”编制出新的动作。我真的特别喜欢和人类球队比赛,因为我经过程序编制,行动起来和他们一样。不管怎样,在我过目不忘的电子脑的帮助下,运用智能就是我的一切!

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
During the day, Mike Kosciuk teaches students at De La Salle Collegiate High School in Michigan. However, in the evenings and on weekends, Mike provides instruction on Tutor.com. Not only does he teach students math from 9th grade through college level, he also teaches other online teachers how to improve their teaching. Recognized as a leader in online teaching, Mike was the February 2010 Tutor of the Month for Tutor.com.
Chrissy Markley is one of many online teachers who are taking virtual (虚拟的) learning to the lower grades. At Arizona Connections Academy, an online public school, Chrissy teaches 7/8th Grade Gifted Language Arts and 9th Grade Language Arts. Once a 6th grade teacher in a traditional public school area, Chrissy enjoys teaching in the virtual classroom. Recognized as an excellent teacher, she was named the school's 2011 Teacher of the Year.
Having ten years' experience in online teaching, Jody Shine began teaching with Davenport University. When she was asked to teach online, she was skeptical at first. “I feared something would be lost in the give and take of classroom discussion,” Jody said. “Now I know online teaching allows students greater freedom to express themselves.” Today, Jody uses voice recordings and online videos to teach English Composition to Davenport students.
Like Arizona Connections Academy, Open High School of Utah is also a public school offering online instruction. There, Amy Pace is an award-winning (获奖的) science teacher. After spending 11 years in a traditional teaching environment, Amy joined Open High School of Utah. She has helped create an interesting science course. In 2010, she was one of 103 7th to 12th grade teachers to be chosen for a Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.
1.What subject does Mike teach?
A.English Composition. B.Language Arts.
C.Science. D.Math.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Not only does he teach students math”可知,Mike是教数学的。
2.The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.unhappy B.doubtful
C.serious D.bored
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据Jody紧接着说的“I feared something would be lost in the give and take of classroom discussion”和“Now I know online teaching allows students greater freedom to express themselves”之间的对比可知,Jody一开始担心网络授课中不能很好地进行课堂讨论交流,因此对是否要进行网络授课有所迟疑。
3.What kind of readers will probably like reading the text?
A.Parents who are helping their kids choose a public school.
B.Students who are searching for an online teacher.
C.Teachers who want to win prizes in teaching.
D.Anyone who likes to study abroad.
解析:选B 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了四位网上授课老师的基本情况以及他们所获得的相应奖项,因此对于正在挑选在线老师的学生来说很有用处。
Ⅱ.语法填空
When I was in my second year of senior high school, a girl __1__ (call) Jeanie in my class made a big name for herself. She had successfully passed __2__ interviews for a famous women's university in the USA.
__3__ hearing the news, I told the girl that I admired her very much. Then, she smiled at me and said the words __4__ I will never forget: “You can also do it! If you have dreams, you should realize them. Without action, dreams are still dreams.” Her words gave me so much __5__ (inspire). She encouraged me to take action to realize my dreams. From then on, I spent a lot of time __6__ (prepare) an article for competition.
After several days' hard work, I finished it and handed it in. __7__ day in and day out, I kept waiting and waiting, and yet I heard nothing. I was very __8__ (disappoint) then.
One day, however, a classmate of mine pointed to an English newspaper and said __9__ (excited), “Emma, your name is in the newspaper!” My heart beat heavily. With shock and joy, I picked up the newspaper. The thing I thought was __10__ (possible) had really happened.
1.called girl与call之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。
2.the 特指美国一家著名的女子大学的面试,故用定冠词。
3.On/After on doing sth.“一做某事”,作时间状语,相当于as soon as引导的时间状语从句。也可以用介词after表示“在……之后”。
4.that/which 所填词引导定语从句,在从句中作宾语,先行词是words,故用that/which。
5.inspiration 作give的宾语,前面有so much修饰,故用不可数名词inspiration。
6.preparing spend ... doing sth.“花……做某事”,是固定用法。
7.But/Yet 本句表示“但是,一天又一天,我一直等待,还是没有任何消息”,表示转折意义,用连词but/yet。
8.disappointed 主语是I,表语应该用-ed式形容词,故用disappointed“感到失望的”。
9.excitedly 修饰动词said用副词excitedly“兴奋地”。
10.impossible 所填词作表语,而且由句意可知此处表示“不可能的”意义,故用impossible。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率),” he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”
However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.
1.What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?
A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C.The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
D.Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知在上班时间使用网络可以提高生产效率。
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?
A.Watching videos. B.Reading online news.
C.Reading online novels. D.Playing online games.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知C项未提到。
3.The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.
A.stop B.organize
C.protect D.separate
解析:选A 词义猜测题。文章讲到公司让员工上班期间上网并休息一下,有助于他们恢复注意力和提高生产效率。还提到有些公司是花钱来阻止其员工上网、在网上看录像、玩游戏等,但这总不是办法。block“阻止”。
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
B.Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
C.Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D.People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,如果一个人上班期间上网的时间过多的话,那么他的生产效率就会降低。
加餐练(二) 第Ⅱ卷规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
Yesterday, I went to the food market in Jackson Square. The market only __1__ (accept) cash, but after I put together some food, I realized I __2__ (leave) my wallet at home. While figuring out this __3__ (confuse) situation at the cashier, I heard the man behind me said, “Let me pay for you.” __4__ (hear) that, I was shocked. I politely refused and decided __5__ (find) a cash machine and come back, but he insisted. I tried to give him my gift card that had about D|S20 left on it. __6__, no matter how hard I tried, he wouldn't take it.
I was really moved. I thanked him __7__ (sincere) and left. I quickly found a cash machine and took out cash and went back, __8__ the man had left. I even didn't know his name.
I thought I had to pay this forward, so I found a homeless man. I told him someone had paid for my food so this D|S20 bill was __9__ him. He thanked me and saw me off with wet eyes.
I had done this in small ways before, but this face-to-face __10__ (kind) was the most moving experience I've ever had.
语篇解读:作者在市场买菜忘记带钱包,一个好心人帮他付了款,作者决定把这次善举传递下去。
1.accepts 这里讲的是一般情况,所以用一般现在时态。
2.had left 忘在家里是发生在realized之前的动作,故用过去完成时态。
3.confusing 此处修饰situation,用形容词作其定语。
4.Hearing I与hear之间是主动关系,故用现在分词。
5.to find decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”。
6.However 根据句意可知,此处表示转折关系,故用however。
7.sincerely 修饰谓语动词thank用sincere的副词形式。
8.but 作者取了钱回去准备找那个男人,却发现他已经离开了。两句之间表示转折关系,故用but。
9.for 作者告诉那个无家可归的人,那20美元是给他的。for在这里意为“为了”。
10.kindness 根据语境可知句意为:这样面对面的善举是我经历过的最感动的事情。

参考范文:
Good morning, everyone! It's my great honour to be here to share with you my opinion on houses in the future.
I often imagine what houses in the future will be like. With the development of science and technology, houses in the future will be greatly different from what they are today.
Houses in the future will change their form and temperature as the season changes. What's more, they will be able to save you money on heating, and prevent energy waste. They will produce energy through their solar panels, which can be used to provide hot water, heat spaces in winter and air-condition the house in summer. Besides, they change their colour at any time to satisfy their owners.
In short, living in a future house will be amazing.
Thank you!
Unit 3 Computers
In a way computers can be considered a technological revolution because they have “artificial intelligence” so that they can simplify difficult sums, “think” logically and solve any difficult mathematical problem. With the development of the network, computers have become very important in communication, finance and trade, and people all over the world can share their knowledge with others through the World Wide Web. Nowadays boys and girls even use their mobile phones to surf the Internet. In order to explore the moon and Mars, computers have already been put into space rockets. In a word, computers can nearly deal with most problems in life. With the help of computers, the goal of human racewill be turned into reality.
However, just as a saying goes, “Every coin has two sides.” Personally, if you don't use computers properly, something uncomfortable will happen. For example, computer games programmed by operators are so wonderful that a lot of young people love them very much. They even play the games day and night without going to school. As a result, they failed in their lessons. Sometimes if you download something, viruses which can make your computer break down will arise.
Anyhow, if you have a computer, your life will be filled with happiness.
在某种程度上电脑可以被看作是一次技术革命。因为电脑有“人工智能”,因此它们能够简化复杂的算数题,逻辑“思考”,解决任何数学难题。随着网络的发展,电脑已经在通讯、金融和贸易方面变得非常重要。世界各地的人们可以通过万维网与其他人分享他们的知识。如今少男少女们甚至用移动手机上网冲浪。为了探索月球和火星,已经在太空火箭上安装上了电脑。总之,电脑几乎能够处理生活中的大部分难题。在电脑的帮助下,人类的目标将会变成现实。
然而,正如一句谚语所说的:凡事都有利弊。我个人认为,如果你使用电脑不恰当,不如意的事情就会发生。例如,由电脑操作员编程的电脑游戏是那样奇妙,以至于很多年轻人非常喜欢它们。他们甚至日日夜夜地玩电脑游戏,不去上学。结果,他们荒废了学业。有时如果你下载一些东西,能够导致电脑瘫痪的病毒就会出现。
不管怎样,如果你有一台电脑,你的生活就会充满幸福。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When Mrs. Delgado asked her daughter Sonia to bring blueberry muffins (松饼) to a sick neighbor, Sonia said sure. But when Sonia found out who the neighbor was, she was not so sure. The neighbor's name was Mrs. Craverham, and kids in the neighborhood said she was the most unkind person who ever lived.
Sonia walked up the path to Mrs. Craverham's. She did not like the idea of anyone being sick and alone, but what if the kids were right? A girl in Sonia's science class said that Mrs. Craverham had poked (戳) her with a stick last Halloween. Sometimes there were loud noises heard coming from inside. And a boy in Sonia's math class said Mrs. Craverham had hung him upside down and painted him yellow when he accidentally kicked a soccer ball into her yard. Torn between (左右为难) wanting to help someone in need and not wanting to come home a different color, Sonia decided to be brave.
Finally Sonia knocked on the door. After a few moments, Mrs. Craverham answered the door and asked with impatience, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Sonia said, “My mother heard you were ill. She cooked muffins for you.”
Mrs. Craverham relaxed. “My, that's sweet. I'm sorry if I seemed impolite, but young people sometimes dare each other to come to my door because they think I'm going to do something to them. As soon as I answer the door, they run off and laugh loudly.”
Suddenly, Sonia heard a loud cry. Mrs. Craverham laughed as Sonia jumped. “Oh, that's just Norbert, my parrot (鹦鹉). He's watched too many violent movies — like you, I think!”
1.According to Paragraph 1, Sonia ________.
A.liked blueberry muffins
B.was afraid of Mrs. Craverham
C.knew her sick neighbor very well
D.was the meanest kid in the neighborhood
解析:选B 细节理解题。由该段中的“she was not so sure”和“Mrs. Craverham ... the most unkind person who ever lived”可知,当Sonia得知这位生病的邻居是Craverham太太时,她有些害怕了。
2.Why did Mrs. Craverham answer the door impatiently?
A.She thought it was something unpleasant again.
B.She was tired of meeting visitors.
C.She hated to see Sonia again.
D.She was terribly sick.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“young people sometimes dare each other ... they run off and laugh loudly”可知,Craverham太太之所以不耐烦是因为她以为又是哪个孩子在搞恶作剧,故选A项。
3.What will Mrs. Craverham probably do next?
A.Paint Sonia yellow.
B.Give her parrot to Sonia.
C.Accept Sonia's offerings.
D.Hang Sonia upside down.
解析:选C 推理判断题。由文中Sonia所说的“My mother heard you were ill. She cooked muffins for you”和Craverham太太所说的“My, that's sweet”可知,Craverham太太接下来很可能接受Sonia送来的松饼,故选C项。

For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Center, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 13 connect the Internet using a mobile device (移动设备) from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor (监测) his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong,” Julian says.
Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.
Have you ever had to enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety net is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent's permission (允许).
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created, in 1998 — when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.
When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to (适用于) mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give user location (位置).
COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong onilne. That's why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.
“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章告诫人们应该注意上网安全。
7.Julian's parents check his web use to make sure ________.
A.he doesn't watch too many videos
B.he doesn't play computer games
C.he stays safe on the Internet
D.he controls his online time
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To keep him safe online, his parents monitor (监测) his web use”可知,Julian的父母监测他的上网情况是为了确保他的网络安全。
8.How does the author explain children's unpleasant online experiences?
A.By describing his own experiences.
B.By presenting scientific research.
C.By showing differences.
D.By using examples.
解析:选B 写作手法题。根据第三段中的“A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.”可知,作者主要是通过引用研究结果来说明孩子们不愉快的上网经历。
9.People often hold the wrong idea that ________.
A.formal websites are always safe
B.the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C.COPPA can ensure their complete safety
D.daily checks prevent future online problems
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe”可知,人们认为遵循COPPA法案的网站可以确保他们上网的绝对安全,然而事实表明,这是错误的观念。
10.What's the main purpose of the text?
A.To ask parents to look out for their kids.
B.To tell people to be careful online.
C.To offer tips on online safety.
D.To introduce an online law.
解析:选B 写作意图题。通读全文可知,由于上网的方式在发生改变,因此相应的确保上网安全的法案也要进行更新调整,特别是文章最后一句中的“it also can be dangerous if you are not careful”点明文章主旨,即:告诫人们在上网时应该小心谨慎。故B项符合题意。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Internships (实习) are similar to training young students in their chosen paths. Sometimes it is good to get internships internationally. __1__ Getting a summer international internship can be a lot of work but if you know how to get it, it would be all worth it.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
During the day, Mike Kosciuk teaches students at De La Salle Collegiate High School in Michigan. However, in the evenings and on weekends, Mike provides instruction on Tutor.com. Not only does he teach students math from 9th grade through college level, he also teaches other online teachers how to improve their teaching. Recognized as a leader in online teaching, Mike was the February 2010 Tutor of the Month for Tutor.com.
Chrissy Markley is one of many online teachers who are taking virtual (虚拟的) learning to the lower grades. At Arizona Connections Academy, an online public school, Chrissy teaches 7/8th Grade Gifted Language Arts and 9th Grade Language Arts. Once a 6th grade teacher in a traditional public school area, Chrissy enjoys teaching in the virtual classroom. Recognized as an excellent teacher, she was named the school's 2011 Teacher of the Year.
Having ten years' experience in online teaching, Jody Shine began teaching with Davenport University. When she was asked to teach online, she was skeptical at first. “I feared something would be lost in the give and take of classroom discussion,” Jody said. “Now I know online teaching allows students greater freedom to express themselves.” Today, Jody uses voice recordings and online videos to teach English Composition to Davenport students.
Like Arizona Connections Academy, Open High School of Utah is also a public school offering online instruction. There, Amy Pace is an award-winning (获奖的) science teacher. After spending 11 years in a traditional teaching environment, Amy joined Open High School of Utah. She has helped create an interesting science course. In 2010, she was one of 103 7th to 12th grade teachers to be chosen for a Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.

B.Students who are searching for an online teacher.

1.called girl与call之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。
2.the 特指美国一家著名的女子大学的面试,故用定冠词。
3.On/After on doing sth.“一做某事”,作时间状语,相当于as soon as引导的时间状语从句。也可以用介词after表示“在……之后”。
4.that/which 所填词引导定语从句,在从句中作宾语,先行词是words,故用that/which。
5.inspiration 作give的宾语,前面有so much修饰,故用不可数名词inspiration。
6.preparing spend ... doing sth.“花……做某事”,是固定用法。
7.But/Yet 本句表示“但是,一天又一天,我一直等待,还是没有任何消息”,表示转折意义,用连词but/yet。
