13.Even though multiple generations have now grown up glued to the flickering light of the TV,we still can't let go of the belief that the next generation of technology is going to doom(毀掉) our kids.
I've spent over a decade observing young people's practices with technology.When I began my research,I expected to find lots of teenagers who were escaping"real life"through the Internet.That was certainly my experience.As a geeky,queer youth growing up in the early 1990s,the Internet was the only place where I didn't feel judged.I wanted to live in a digital-only world.
To my surprise-and,as I grew older,relief-that differed from what most youth want.Early on in my research,I met a girl who told me that she'd much rather get together with her friends in person,but she had so many homework demands and her parents were often concerned about her physical safety.This is why she loved the Internet:She could hang out with her friends there.For many teenagers,technology is a relief valve.I've heard this reasoning echoed by youth around the country.
This is the Catch-22that we've trapped today's youth in.We've locked them indoors because we see the physical world as more dangerous than ever before,even though by almost every measure,we live in the safest society to date.We put heavy expectations for our kids,maxing them out with structured activities and homework.And then we're surprised when they're worn out and addictive.
If we truly want to reduce the amount young people use technology,we should free up more of their time.For one thing,we could radically reduce the amount of homework and tests American youth take.Finland consistently outperforms the U.S.in school,and it emphasizes student happiness,assigning almost no homework.When I lecture in Finland,parents don't seem nearly as anxious about technology addiction as Americans.We should also let children roam.It seems like every few weeks I read a new story about a parent who was visited by child services for letting their school-aged children out of their sight.Indeed,studies in the U.S.a(chǎn)nd the U.K.consistently show that children have lost the right to roam.
This is why many of our youth turn to technology.They aren't addicted to the computer; they're addicted to interaction,and being around their friends.Children,and especially teenagers,don't want to only socialize with parents and siblings; they want to play with their peers.That's how they make sense of the world.And we've robbed them of that opportunity because we're afraid of evil spirits.
We're raising our children in captivity and they turn to technology to socialize,learn and decompress(減壓).Why are we blaming the screens?

67.The writer thinks Internet addiction happens today becauseD.
A.the youth are required to learn the modern technology
B.the youth want to escape the dangerous real world
C.the youth are fascinated by a digital-only world

A.Parents are demanding of their children.
B.Parents are overprotective of their children.
C.Parents are worried about their children's health.
D.Parents are surprised at the effect of their measures.

A.a(chǎn)ll work and no play make American children suffer a lot

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們介紹了青年人網(wǎng)癮的真正原因,因為他們需要交流,渴望更多的自由,因此給予孩子更多的自由是治療網(wǎng)癮比較有效的手段.

解答 67.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段可知"This is why she loved the Internet:She could hang out with her friends there"青年人喜歡網(wǎng)絡(luò)成癮的原因是因為在網(wǎng)上他們和朋友們可以相互溝通;故選D.
68.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第四段"We've locked them indoors because we see the physical world as more dangerous than ever before.We put heavy expectations for our kids,maxing them out with structured activities and homework.And then we're surprised when they're worn out and addictive."可知父母對孩子的要求很高,父母過度保護(hù)孩子,父母對他們的措施的影響感到驚訝,因此父母并沒有擔(dān)心孩子的健康;故選C.
69.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第五段"If we truly want to reduce the amount young people use technology,we should free up more of their time"可知作者在芬蘭的演講表明給予孩子更多自由時間是一個很好的解決青年網(wǎng)癮問題的解決方案;故選C.
70.B.主旨大意題.通讀全文,可知文章主要講青年人網(wǎng)癮的真正原因,因為他們需要交流,渴望更多的自由,因此給予孩子更多的自由是治療網(wǎng)癮比較有效的手段;故選B.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

8.Land Art,sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks,is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art,taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s,when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today,works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world,sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
    Land Art,which is not necessarily unchangeable,can take a number of forms.For example,in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋狀防波堤),made of a collection of stones and mud,in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
    Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art,which can be created by moving parts around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art,like salt,which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases,Land Art is immovable.
    Land Art is designed to gradually form,change,and eventually decay(衰落).That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time,which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.
28.What can be learned from the first paragraph?D
A.Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.
B.Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.
C.American artists were the first to create Land Art.
D.People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.
29.What do we know about Robert Smithson?A
A.He is a great creative artist.
B.He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
C.He made the most famous Land Art.
D.He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.
30.One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies inB.
A.it shows the extreme beauty of nature
B.it develops and decays gradually over time
C.it combines the landscapes around completely
D.it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature
31.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.Works of Land Art.
B.History of Land Art.
C.Changes of Land Art.
D.Introduction of Land Art.

4.Nowadays employees are supposed to make contributions to their companies.What is the (16)valuable(value) contribution employees make to their companies,knowledge or judgment?I say judgment.Knowledge,no matter how broad,is useless (17)until/unless it is applied.And application takes judgment,(18)which involves something of a sixth sense-a high performance of the mind.
This raises interesting questions about the best (19)training (train) for today's business people.As Daniel Goleman suggests in (20)his new book,Emotional Intelligence,the latest scientific findings seem to indicate that clever (21)but inflexible people don't have the right stuff in an age when the suitable ability is the key (22)to survival.

9.In many countries today,laws protect wildlife.In India,the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.About 300B.C,(48)anIndian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today.The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(監(jiān)管).Some animals were fully protected.(49)In/Within the forest,nobody was allowed to cut timber,burn wood for charcoal,(50)or catch animals for their furs.Animals (51)that/which became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park,so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is(52)greater now than ever before.About a thousand species of animals are (53)in danger of dying out,and the rate at which (54)they are being destroyed has increased.(55)Ifwe took no measures to protect wildlife,some day our children would see no living creatures except man himself.
