【題目】I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steampunk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.

I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”

China seems to be leading the way in innovation(創(chuàng)新) and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.

There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.

Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting bills and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.

The list goes on…

When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”

While my friends think I am riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a Didi for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.

With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.

【1】What’s the function of Paragraph 1?

A. To introduce a movie. B. To introduce the topic.

C. To tell an interesting story. D. To show the weather in Beijing.

【2】How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?

A. He didn’t want to stay long. B. He couldn’t stand the weather.

C. He never wanted to go back home. D. He was amazed at the bike sharing.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A. China is the first country to start bike sharing.

B. The author has become used to mobile payment in China.

C. People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.

D. The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.

【4】What does the text intend to tell us?

A. Bike sharing has spread all over China.

B. Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.

C. Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.

D. Technology has brought much convenience in China.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】作者介紹了自己在中國，尤其是在北京生活上的各種方便和便利。作者認(rèn)為中國似乎在引領(lǐng)日常生活便利化的變革。

【1】推理判斷題。作者用一個(gè)玩笑來引出自己接下來要講述的東西，所以第一段的目的是引出并介紹要說的話題，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month.可知作者剛來的時(shí)候，非常不習(xí)慣，第一個(gè)月非常想動(dòng)身回家。故答案為A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.可知作者已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了用手機(jī)掃碼付款購物，故B項(xiàng)是正確的。A和C項(xiàng)文章都沒有提到，錯(cuò)誤，D項(xiàng)和原文表述的“有些朋友并不知道中國目前的便利”不符，錯(cuò)誤。

【4】推理判斷題。作者通過自己的親身體驗(yàn)和生活實(shí)際講述了在中國的各種方便和便利，科技的發(fā)展使中國引領(lǐng)生活便利化的潮流，故選D。

【題目】Some researchers believe that the mobile phone makes youngsters less thoughtful and makes it easier for them to make mistakes in life. Hitting a few keys and then seeing the desired word appear in full trains children to be fast but inaccurate when they do other things, according to scientists. They warn that this could have a negative impact on a whole generation.

ChildWise, a market research firm specializing in children's products, found that one in four undereights had a mobile. The total of 4.5 million youngsters with mobiles included 58 percent of 9 to 10yearolds, 89 percent of 11 to 12yearolds, 93 percent of 13 to 14yearolds and 95 percent of 15 to 16yearolds.

Experts are also concerned about the possible impact of mobile phone radiation on developing brains. But Michael Abramson, a professor at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, says the amount of radiation transmitted during text messaging is a mere 0.03 percent of that transmitted during voice calls — suggesting radiation is not to blame for the brain effects.

In a recent study, Prof Abramson analyzed the mobile phone use of children aged between 11 and 14 and their ability to carry out a number of computer tests. He found that increased mobile phone use appears to change the way their brains work. He said, “The kids who used their phones a lot were faster on some of the tests, but were less accurate. We suppose that using mobile phones a lot, particularly tools like predictive texts for SMS, is training them to be fast but inaccurate. The use of mobile phones is changing the way children learn and pushing them to become more impulsive in the way they behave without thinking things through.”

The findings follow other research that suggested that text messaging encourages children's language skills and does not damage the ability to spell.

【1】It can be concluded from the ChildWise's research that ________.

A. the older the child is, the greater chance he has a mobile phone

B. children under eight are too young to use mobile phones

C. children aged between 11－14 were not involved in the research

D. 4.5 million people have a mobile phone in Australia

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Prof Abramson thinks mobile phones have little effect on children.

B. There's less radiation transmitted during text messaging than during voice calls.

C. Text messaging trains children to be fast and accurate.

D. Text messaging may damage children's ability to spell.

【3】What does the underlined word “impulsive” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. Encouraging someone to do something.

B. Forcing someone to accept a way of life.

C. Doing things without considering the effects they may have.

D. Doing things with careful planning and consideration.
