Ⅰ　阅读理解
A
A conference was held with former technology industry leaders calling for urgent measures to protect children from smartphone addiction (上瘾)．
Among those urging major changes is Tristan Harris—a former high­level employee at Google. He just launched a group that will seek to gather and publish evidence of how digital devices and social media can harm children and young people. Harris says he believes companies like Google, Facebook and Apple have a “moral responsibility” not to create technology products that can “hijack how the mind works”．
The conference where Harris spoke was sponsored by Common Sense Media, a child and family activist group. The organization says research suggests that half of all teenagers feel addicted to their mobile devices, while about 60 percent of parents believe their kids are addicted.
The group also cites a recent study of eighth­graders that found heavy users of technology were 56 percent more likely to say they are unhappy, while 27 percent more likely to be depressed. Even Facebook cited research last year suggesting that social media use can harm mental health when used in certain ways.
James Steyer is the founder of Common Sense. He says more than half of schools in the US are already members of the organization. The group provides teachers and parents with learning materials intended to help students develop critical thinking skills and balance their digital lives.
Some US schools, however, have tried to limit or remove technology to improve learning. One of them is in Silicon Valley, the center of the American tech industry.
The Waldorf School of the Peninsula does not use any computers or digital technology in its education programs up to the seventh grade. The school's website says while Waldorf teachers recognize the role technology can play in the classroom, it must wait until the student reaches the right developmental age. Normally when students reach high school, they are allowed to use computers and digital tools in the classroom.
1．What is Facebook, Google and Apple's “moral responsibility” according to Tristan Harris?
A．Preventing children from chatting on social media.
B．Finding a way to get children away from addiction.
C．Providing parents with materials to help their children.
D．Stopping making products that do harm to young people.
2．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Control. B．Exercise.
C．Benefit. D．Entertain.
3．What do we know from the last two paragraphs?
A．Waldorf School bans technology from its education programs.
B．Waldorf School limits the use of digital tools in its classrooms.
C．Waldorf School pays much attention to improving learning.
D．Waldorf School doesn't believe that computers can improve learning.
4．Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．Computer Companies Should Live up to Their Moral Responsibility
B．Digital Addiction Does Harm to Children's Mental Health
C．A Conference Calls for Actions to Protect Children from Digital Addiction
D．Waldorf School Doesn't Use Digital Tools in Its Education Program

Yesterday I cleared up my house and I mean really cleared up my house. The room that gave the most results was my husband's “office”. There I found: one right­footed shoe, size 10 (he lost the other one somewhere), a set of Star Wars videos and two small china cats someone gave me last birthday. I collected these “finds” and took them downstairs and logged on to www.eBay.com: the answer to all our rubbish.
What is eBay? It aims to provide a global trading platform where almost anyone can trade almost anything. The idea came from Pierre Omidyar. Born in Paris, Omidyar moved to Washington when he was still a child. At High School he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, originally offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the site that he had to upgrade (升级) and he began collecting fees. Joined by a friend, Peter Skoll, and in 1998 by his dynamic CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the great dot－com crashes of the late 1990s eBay went from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping sites on the Internet.
If you think about it, it's a perfect Internet idea. All you have to do is to take an e­photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you're in business; the world is your market place.
Some of the more bizarre goods up for offer have been a piece of French bread, partially eaten by Justin Timberlake, advertising space on a man's head, and a pair of used false teeth.
One week later I am proud of having a clean and tidy home and 110 in cash. Someone even bought the shoe.
5．What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about eBay?
A．It aims to provide a free service.
B．It was the idea of a high school boy.
C．It has become more and more successful.
D．It faced a difficult situation in the late 1990s.
6．The underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．popular B．unusual
C．valuable D．unacceptable
7．What does the author think of eBay?
A．She is satisfied with it.
B．She is worried about it.
C．She shows no interest in it.
D．She thinks it wastes a lot of money.
8．Why did the author log on to eBay?
A．To sell some useless things.
B．To buy shoes for her husband.
C．To exchange things with other users.
D．To search for things used at the office.
C
When you first step into a classroom, one of the first things to catch your eye is usually a list of rules. However, there's one rule that you just can't help but question： No electronics. In reality, the classrooms in our school have_an_aversion_to modern technology, so electronic devices (设备) such as computers and cellphones are not allowed, for they are thought to have a bad influence on children's attention at class. However, is it possible that these devices could actually be used to improve our learning experience?
As is known to us, these years we have spent so much time talking about the disadvantages of modern technology that we've failed to see their advantages in a classroom. Many people of the 80's and 90's still remember learning about history by playing the game The Oregon Trail, and many of us 2000's teenagers remember games such as Brain Age that encouraged our cognitive (认知的) development.
It doesn't end with educational games, either. Take Minecraft for example. While a parent may complain (抱怨) that their child spends too much time playing the hit video game, what they probably fail to realize is that their child's brain is being enriched with information allowing creativity and problem－solving. Children who play on public or local computers may also pick up on social skills. For older children, creating computer games can be a great introduction to coding (编码). Many schools have begun to bring the game into their classrooms.
In the end, it's important that we welcome technological development in our classrooms and see the educational value in having fun. School no longer must mean sitting down for hours in front of a pictureless textbook. Instead, school can be a place where children are able to see learning as a lifelong experience.
9．What does the underlined part “have an aversion to” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Change. B．Dislike.
C．Expect. D．Overuse.
10．Some computer games are mentioned to show ________.
A．parents know little about computer games
B．children can create better computer games
C．children can learn from computer games
D．parents only welcome educational games
11．What is the author's attitude towards electronic devices?
A．He is against them.
B．He is in favor of them.
C．He is uninterested in them.
D．He is uncertain about them.

Ⅱ　读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. What luck! I started by thinking of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, was, as usual, brief to my polite “Happy New Year.\” He nodded like a robot and I sat in front of him.
Minutes passed and nothing happened.
Then very hesitantly I put my form and booklet in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register (登记表). After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and registers.
After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient,_I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words,_I felt as if a bomb had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done. It will take time！\”
Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God－knows－how－many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in_a_hurry to get their work done. We do not even feel the need to be thankful for being there. He must be feeling so annoyed that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.\”
On an instinct I told him, “Sir, you please have your tea, I am not in a hurry.\” This man, who I had been seeing for the last few years, suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact—he had never made eye_contact earlier. I saw a different person there, another human being who was as hard－pressed for time as I always am.

Paragraph 1：
I saw both of us sailing in the same boat. I felt that he was also missing the small things in life like a hot cup of tea or lying in a warm bed for a few more minutes like me. He gave me a rare smile and said, “It is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but somebody else will come who will be in_a_hurry.”
Paragraph 2：
He really touched my heart with his wise words. I felt that we had all put shields on our hearts like we put gloves on our hands; we are scared to show our heart and reveal too much of ourselves. I felt that all this time I thought of him as a robot,_someone who was there for my convenience, but today I suddenly felt a strange communication with him. I vowed to be more friendly with people who help me with my work and be thankful that they are there for me.
