Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital(数字) technology". As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.
"I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."
Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?
Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.

33. What do many young children choose to do on weekends and after school?

B. To paint with their paintbrushes.

During his life Dr James Naismith worked as a doctor, taught P.E and wrote several books. While he never thought it very important, Dr Naismith is today best known for one thing. He was the inventor of basketball.
Dr James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861 and his first job was at a special sports school in the USA. One day the school principal told James he was having a problem with the students. Because of heavy snow, the students could not go outside. He told James that they needed a sport the boys could play indoors and gave the teacher two weeks to think of something.
It was on the very last day that James came up with his idea. The “birth of basketball” is said to be on December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the basketball games of today. It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon after, the game changed to 5 players on each side, using special “basketballs” through nets.
Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the games in Berlin.
36. Which of the following things did Dr James Naismith NOT do?
A. Teach P.E in school. B. Write some books.
C. Work at hospital. D. Take part in the Olympic Games.
37. Why is December 21 thought to be the birthday of basketball?
A. It was on this day that Dr Naismith came up with his idea for basketball.
B. It was the day on which Dr Naismith was born.
C. It was the day on which Dr Naismith was asked by his boss to invent a new game.
D. It was on this day that the first game of basketball was played.
38. At the time of Dr Naismith’s death, which of the following was true?
A. Basketball was already a worldwide game.
B. Basketball was played with 9 players on each side.
C. Basketball was an Olympic sport.
D. Basketball was still played using footballs.
39. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dr Naismith invented basketball in winter.
B. Dr Naismith is best famous for inventing football.
C. Dr Naismith’s first job was a doctor in a hospital.
D. Basketball became an Olympic sport after Dr Naismith died.
40. What would be the best title for this story?
A. History of Basketball B. How Basketball Has Changed
C. Father of Basketball D. Happy Birthday, Basketball
D
The Most Useful Invention
The Most Useful Invention of All Time Barbara—Saturday, April 13 I'm writing a paper for my English class, and I need some ideas. What do you think is the most useful invention of all time? Thanks for your thoughts.
RE: The Most Useful of All Time Cindy Wu—Saturday, April 13 There are many—the phone, the car, the fridges, but these are not my choices. For an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Hong Kong, and during the summer, the temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius（摄氏度）or more. The heat is terrible! Without air conditioning, people here cannot work or study. A lot of people might also get sick without cool air.
RE: The most Useful invention: The Internet! Jorge—Sunday, April 14 The most useful invention of all time is the Internet. We can now communicate with people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City. I also have a website. Now, people from all over the world can buy my clothing using my web site. I can keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the world using e-mail. It's faster than regular mail, and it's cheaper than using the phone!
RE: The Most Useful Invention: Yes, but…Kazuo—Monday, April 15 Jorge, I agree—the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an invention that is the most useful—electricity. Of course, this isn't a man-made invention, but people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta learned how to use it. Without electricity, many of the word's most important inventions would not work.
41.________needs some ideas about the most useful invention.
A. Jorge B. Cindy Wu C. Barbara D. Kazuo
42. Cindy Wu thinks the air conditioner .
A. is useful in summer B. makes people sick C. is terrible D. is cheaper
43.Jorge thinks that the Internet is the most important invention because .
A. It uses electricity
B. It helps him do business
C. he can buy things from invention all over the world
D. It is man-made
44.In the passage, the word "regular " means " "
A. 普通的 B. 重要的 C. 特殊的 D. 困难的
45.Which of the following is not man-made?
A. Internet. B. Phones. C. Electricity. D. Cars.
第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）
根据短文内容，将下面A---E五个句子分别填入文中空缺处，使得补全后的短文意思通顺，结构完整。
In modern society, people use money every day. It seems that it is very important in our life. 46 . But I think few people know the history of money.
Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. 47 . Sometimes families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange, 48 . They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, and so on.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. 49 Later, countries began to make their won coins.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the
1200s. 50 .
Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of "real" money.
A. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and grow crops.
B. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time.
C. However, European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.
D. That's because without money, you can't buy any things you want.
E. However, it was not the kind of money we use today.

During his life Dr James Naismith worked as a doctor, taught P.E and wrote several books. While he never thought it very important, Dr Naismith is today best known for one thing. He was the inventor of basketball.
Dr James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861 and his first job was at a special sports school in the USA. One day the school principal told James he was having a problem with the students. Because of heavy snow, the students could not go outside. He told James that they needed a sport the boys could play indoors and gave the teacher two weeks to think of something.
It was on the very last day that James came up with his idea. The “birth of basketball” is said to be on December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the basketball games of today. It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon after, the game changed to 5 players on each side, using special “basketballs” through nets.
Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the games in Berlin.
36. Which of the following things did Dr James Naismith NOT do?
A. Teach P.E in school. B. Write some books.
C. Work at hospital. D. Take part in the Olympic Games.
37. Why is December 21 thought to be the birthday of basketball?
A. It was on this day that Dr Naismith came up with his idea for basketball.
B. It was the day on which Dr Naismith was born.
C. It was the day on which Dr Naismith was asked by his boss to invent a new game.
D. It was on this day that the first game of basketball was played.
38. At the time of Dr Naismith’s death, which of the following was true?
A. Basketball was already a worldwide game.
B. Basketball was played with 9 players on each side.
C. Basketball was an Olympic sport.
D. Basketball was still played using footballs.
39. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dr Naismith invented basketball in winter.
B. Dr Naismith is best famous for inventing football.
C. Dr Naismith’s first job was a doctor in a hospital.
D. Basketball became an Olympic sport after Dr Naismith died.
40. What would be the best title for this story?
A. History of Basketball B. How Basketball Has Changed
C. Father of Basketball D. Happy Birthday, Basketball
【答案】DDCAC
【解析】36.D细节理解题，文章首段支撑句 During his life Dr James Naismith worked as a doctor, taught P.E and wrote several books. While he never thought it very important, Dr Naismith is today best known for one thing. He was the inventor of basketball.
37.D 细节理解题，文章第三段支撑句 The “birth of basketball” is said to be on December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the basketball games of today.
38.C事实细节判断题。 由尾段支撑句Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the games in Berlin. 可以判断A是错的，而C是对的。由第三段支撑句 It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon after, the game changed to 5 players on each side, using special “basketballs” through nets.可以判断答案B只是提到篮球开始的玩法是每对9人，是部分正确。篮球起初是由足球替代，但是不久后就用了篮球。所以可以判断D是错的。
39.A事实细节判断题。 由第二段支撑句Because of heavy snow, the students could not go outside. 可以判断A是对的。B和C文章没有提到。由尾端支撑句Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the games in Berlin. 可见是在 Dr Naismith死之前，篮球成为奥运会的比赛体育项目，而不是 Dr Naismith死之后。所以D也是错。
40.C主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了Dr Naismith是在一个下月的冬天，学校孩子没有办法进行室外体育运动，受校长所托，发明篮球的过程。所以Father of Basketball 篮球之父，及篮球的发明者是对的。
D
The Most Useful Invention
The Most Useful Invention of All Time Barbara—Saturday, April 13 I'm writing a paper for my English class, and I need some ideas. What do you think is the most useful invention of all time? Thanks for your thoughts.
RE: The Most Useful of All Time Cindy Wu—Saturday, April 13 There are many—the phone, the car, the fridges, but these are not my choices. For an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Hong Kong, and during the summer, the temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius（摄氏度）or more. The heat is terrible! Without air conditioning, people here cannot work or study. A lot of people might also get sick without cool air.
RE: The most Useful invention: The Internet! Jorge—Sunday, April 14 The most useful invention of all time is the Internet. We can now communicate with people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City. I also have a website. Now, people from all over the world can buy my clothing using my web site. I can keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the world using e-mail. It's faster than regular mail, and it's cheaper than using the phone!
RE: The Most Useful Invention: Yes, but…Kazuo—Monday, April 15 Jorge, I agree—the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an invention that is the most useful—electricity. Of course, this isn't a man-made invention, but people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta learned how to use it. Without electricity, many of the word's most important inventions would not work.

A. Internet. B. Phones. C. Electricity. D. Cars.
【答案】 CABAC

42.事实细节题。根据第二栏第二句 "For an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner" 后文还提到了夏天温度高，如果没有空调很多人都会生病，所以 Cindy 是认为空调在夏天是很有用的。故答案选 A。
43.推理判断题。根据第三栏内容，因为有了互联网，全世界的人都可以向他买衣服，他也可以通过电子邮件和全球的朋友保持联系，所以互联网是帮助他做生意的，故答案选 B。
44.词义猜测题。根据前文说了电子邮件的优势，所以可以推断出电子邮件比平时用邮件是更加快捷的，所以 regular 指的就是普通的，故答案选 A。
45.事实细节题。根据最后一栏的第三句 "Of course, this isn't man-made invention" 可知前文提到的电并不是人造的。故答案选 C。

根据短文内容，将下面A---E五个句子分别填入文中空缺处，使得补全后的短文意思通顺，结构完整。
In modern society, people use money every day. It seems that it is very important in our life. 46 . But I think few people know the history of money.
Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. 47 . Sometimes families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange, 48 . They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, and so on.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. 49 Later, countries began to make their won coins.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the
1200s. 50 .
Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of "real" money.
A. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and grow crops.
B. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time.
C. However, European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.
D. That's because without money, you can't buy any things you want.
E. However, it was not the kind of money we use today.
【答案】 DAEBC
【解析】 46.空格处前文提到 "钱在我们的生活中是很重要的" ，所以后面紧接着就说 "那是因为没有钱，你就不能买任何想要的东西" ，故答案选 D。
47.根据前文的 "long ago" 很久之前，人们不需要钱，只是以野外动物，水果为食。所以接着
A 选项的 "随着时间推移，人们学会养动物和种植物了" ，所以这一选项比较恰当，故答案选 A。
48. 前文出现了人们开始使用钱，空格后面说的是使用贝壳，米饭，盐，大石头等，跟 E选项的 "然而，这跟我们今天使用的钱是不一样的" 相对应，衔接自然，故答案选 E。
49.根据空格前面 "人们开始用硬币作为钱" ，所以 B 选项的 "人们发现钱比其他的物品更容易携带，而且也更耐用" ，故答案选 B。
50空格前面提到中国最开始使用纸币，后面才被马可波罗传到欧洲，因此 C 选项提到到欧洲直到 17 世纪才使用纸币是符合题意的。故答案选 C。

【范文赏析】
As we all know, plants and animals need water. We human beings need water, too. As the saying goes, water is the symbol of life. Without water，there will be no life on Earth. So in order to make rivers and lakes clean, we must try our best to stop all kinds of pollution. What’s more, we should remember not to waste or pollute water in our daily lives.
If we can do these things, I think water will become cleaner and cleaner and the world will be more and more beautiful.
