About Us

We believe the name says it all. NewsForKids.net was created by a teacher to make the news accessible to kids. We carefully choose interesting stories appropriate to the audience, and present them in a way that is easy to understand.

We work hard to use simple language when telling the stories. It’s easy for advanced readers to read “down”, but not for struggling readers to read “up”.

We understand that there are side effects about simplifying the language and adding background information. But we think we offer something important that’s hard to find: News told in an accessible manner. Real news, told simply.

The story of 11-year-old piano talent Jude Kofie warmed hearts on Twitter after a complete stranger gifted the boy a $15,000 grand piano.

“He’s beyond special. He’s Mozart level. It’s coming from somewhere beyond,” piano tuner(调音师) Bill Magnusson said of young Kofie’s musical talent. Magnusson, using the money he received from his father, gifted a $15, 000 grand piano to Kofie after he saw the piano talent on local news.

Kofie cheered in excitement as the grand piano was wheeled into his Colorado home for the first time in a video that was shared on CBS News show “Sunday Morning”.

CBS “Sunday Morning” later summed up Kofie’s story in a tweet that went viral with over 10,000 likes. “Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing.”

Twitter users reacted to the emotional story, with one reporter calling Jude Kofie and his family “amazing people”. Magnusson was moved to help Kofie after he saw the boy playing the piano in a local news story. However, Magnusson was concerned that Kofie was not able to afford the piano lessons from professional teachers that he needed to grow as a piano player. “What resources are left over to help this special little soul?” Magnusson asked.

Magnusson also promised Kofie’s family that he would tune the piano once a month for the rest of his life. “We’re family now.” he said.

Jude Kofie’s father, Isaiah Kofie, was shocked at Magnusson’s generosity. “All for free.” he said. “Who does that?” Jude’s father asked, becoming visibly emotional. Isaiah Kofie told the news station that there was no way he could afford a grand piano and that he would never have imagined he would have one in his living room.

When asked how to explain his once-in-a-generation talent for playing the piano, Jude Kofie said that it was “a miracle”, “That’s what I prefer,” he added.

In an era of endless notifications(通知) from apps, devices and social media platforms, as well as access to more information than we could possibly consider, how do we find ways to manage? And is the way we think, focus and process information changing as a result?

Maryanne Wolf is the director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners, and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States. Wolf is concerned that “the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult.”

Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the US. He researches how apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to attract a user’s attention. “There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.”

Daniel Le Roux is a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. He looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”. “Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us.” he said.

Media multitasking, like skimming, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information. And media multitasking comes at a cognitive(认知的) cost. Le Roux points out. “We bring what we might call a switch cost; that means our performance in our central task is going to suffer. If you think of driving as the central task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they’re driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.”

8．What is the result of much interaction with screens and devices according to Maryanne Wolf?

A．Having trouble in concentrating.

B．Becoming addicted to the Internet.

C．Being exposed to harmful information

D．Building more relationships with others.

9．What does Kai Lukoff try to stress in the third paragraph?

A．Why social media apps are popular. B．How social media platforms operate.

C．Platform workers try to attract users. D．Social media platforms provide great services.

10．Why does Daniel Le Roux mention driving?

A．To explain media multitasking is common.

B．To show the harm of media multitasking.

C．To explain why we’re media multitasking.

D．To show the difficulty avoiding media multitasking.

11．How does the author develop the text?

A．By quoting from some experts’ speeches.

B．By providing some typical examples.

C．By using the results of some surveys.

D．By analyzing some social phenomena.

Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant to be pulled out of the world’s largest climate conference over plastics concerns, arguing the material has become “the new coal”.

Just Zero and Beyond Plastics, two US-based groups, called on the United Nations Climate Change Conference to cancel Coca-Cola’ s status as a sponsor of this year’s COP 27 on Wednesday. They believed that the soft drink manufacturer’s role in the event is undermining the global fight against climate change and conflicts with the efforts to bring down emissions.

“COP 27 is supposed to focus on solutions to the serious climate crisis.” said Judith Enck, who heads Beyond Plastics, “Instead, we’re allowing it to be a stage for company greenwashing.”

She was joined in her remarks by Just Zero State Policy Director Peter Blair, who said the company’s sponsorship of COP 27 “makes it hard to see this meeting as anything more than a performative act.”

Coca-Cola has repeatedly emphasized its recycling commitments and investments, which include plans to achieve net-zero emissions by midcentury. But an annual audit of corporate brands by Break Free From Plastic, an international coalition, has notably named Coca-Cola “the world’s top plastic polluter” for four years running.

Critics charge that its pollution footprint speaks for itself. Coca-Cola has said that it is responsible for around 3 million metric tons of plastic packaging, an inevitable (不可避免的) waste product. Such numbers, advocates argue, should disqualify the company from COP 27 sponsorship.

“By pouring millions of dollars into sponsoring COP 27, Coca-Cola is making a shameful play to give the appearance of environmental responsibility.” said Blair. “But behind the scenes, Coca Cola launched campaigns to block improvements in real recycling and resist calls to transition away from single-use plastic bottles to reusable and refillable glass containers.

12．What does the underlined word “undermining” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Making...less popular. B．Making...less powerful.

C．Making...more reliable. D．Making...more interesting.

13．What did Judith Enck and Peter Blair intend to express?

A．Their doubt and surprise. B．Their confusion and curiosity.

C．Their support and expectation. D．Their anger and disappointment.

14．Which can best describe Coca-Cola according to Peter Blair?

A．Do as you would be done by. B．What’s done cannot be undone.

C．He who plays with fire gets burned. D．Speak in one way and behave in another.

15．What would be the most suitable title for the text?

A．Coca-Cola—The World’s Top Plastic Polluter

B．Coca-Cola—One of the Sponsors of COP 27

C．Green Groups Try to Kick Coca-Cola Out of COP 27

D．Green Groups Demand That Coca-Cola Stop Pollution

六、读后续写

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The 16th of September was my cousin’s birthday, He is 4 years younger than me and his birthday is just seven days before mine. Those seven days were the worst days of my life. I thought “Isn’t seven supposed to be a lucky number?” and wondered who came up with that idea.

That evening my mother sent him and me to get some stuff from the store so she could make him a cake. On every other Sunday at this time of the day I’d be on the soccer field kicking the ball around with my older friends, but instead this Sunday found me walking to the shop with my cousin.

On the way to the store my cousin spotted an apricot(杏) at the edge of a branch, It was as large as an apple and as yellow as a new crayon fresh from the box. The rule was whoever spotted it first owned it. Even if you climbed the tree to get it, it still did not belong to you. I decided to go to get the beautiful, delicious-looking fruit for my cousin, seeing that it was his birthday.

I started to map out my course of action as to how I was going to get this fruit. I could have hit it with rocks until it fell, but no, it was too beautiful to be bruised(碰伤) by the force of a stone thrown at it. I continued to climb on to a fence which was directly parallel to the apricot tree. At the top of the fence I paused a while to take a look around. “Wow! Cool view from 12 feet off the ground.” My cousin laughed and told me to hurry up and get it so we could go home. My next step was to jump from the fence, catch the main branch, and then climb to victory. Come on! I’d done this tons of times, and I didn’t even hesitate.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As I grabbed the branch, that juicy apricot met me eye to eye.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As we entered the house, my mother noticed I was covered in dirt.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。11岁的钢琴天才Jude Kofie在当地新闻上展示了自己的天赋，调音师Bill Magnusson看到后，送给他一架价值15 000美元的钢琴，这温暖了很多人的心。

4．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Magnusson, using the money he received from his father, gifted a $15, 000 grand piano to Kofie after he saw the piano talent on local news.(Magnusson在当地新闻上看到Kofie的钢琴天赋后，用他从父亲那里得到的钱，送给他一架价值150 00美元的三角钢琴。)”可知，Magnusson是从媒体上认识Kofie的。故选C。

5．细节理解题。根据第四段中哥伦比亚广播公司《星期日早晨》在推特中的描述“Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing.(来自科罗拉多州奥罗拉市的11岁的Jude Kofie发现了一个旧键盘，并在没有任何课程的情况下开始演奏，他展现了预想不到的非凡天赋。)”可知，这里主要强调了Jude Kofie的非凡天赋。故选A。

6．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, Magnusson was concerned that Kofie was not able to afford the piano lessons from professional teachers that he needed to grow as a piano player.(然而，Magnusson担心Kofie上不起专业教师教授的钢琴课程，而这正是他成长为一名钢琴演奏家所需要的。)”可知，Magnusson担心的是Kofie无法接受正规训练。故选A。

8．A    9．C    10．B    11．A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在信息泛滥的数字化时代，人们习惯了进行媒体多任务处理，本文就此现象介绍了不同专家的观点。

8．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Wolf is concerned that ‘the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult.’(Wolf担心，“我们与屏幕和设备的互动量以及我们必须工作的速度改变了我们，使我们失去了在场的能力。我们已经习惯了速度快，以至于很难完全参与一项活动。”)”可知，与屏幕和设备互动过多会使人们不能注意眼前的事情，很难完全参与一项活动。由此可推知，这会让人们难以集中注意力。故选A。

9．推理判断题。根据第三段Kai Lukoff说的话“There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.(屏幕另一边有一千多名工程师、开发人员和设计师，他们有目的地或有意地设计这些服务，以吸引你的注意力，让你在网站上花更多的时间，让你点击更多的广告。)”可知，Kai Lukoff想强调的是，这些平台背后的工作人员设计这些服务是为了吸引用户，以便使其更多地使用平台和购买广告推销的产品。故选C。

10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“And media multitasking comes at a cognitive(认知的) cost.(媒体多任务处理需要付出认知代价。)”可知，媒体多任务处理是有代价的，这剥夺了人们的认知能力。接下来Le Roux列举了开车的例子“If you think of driving as the central task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they’re driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.(如果你认为驾驶是中心任务，我们禁止驾驶员在驾驶时使用智能手机的原因是这会分散他们对驾驶任务的注意力。)”来论证这个观点，由此Le Roux想说明的是，媒体多任务处理是有害处的，会使人们难以集中注意力。故选B。

11．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二至最后一段的“Maryanne Wolf”“Kai Lukoff”“Daniel Le Roux”及相关论述可知，作者通过引用这些专家的观点来组织文章。故选A。

12．B    13．D    14．D    15．C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了两个环保组织希望软饮料巨头可口可乐退出联合国气候变化大会第27次缔约方会议（COP 27），因为其实际做法并不符合环保要求。

12．词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“and conflicts with the efforts to bring down emissions”可知，and前后为并列关系，所以这里表示的内容和“与降低排放的努力冲突”一致，表达的是“正在削弱全球应对气候变化的斗争”，所以undermining表示“逐渐削弱”，和B项“Making...less powerful”意思一致。故选B。

13．推理判断题。根据第三段“‘COP 27 is supposed to focus on solutions to the serious climate crisis.’ said Judith Enck, who heads Beyond Plastics, ‘Instead, we’re allowing it to be a stage for company greenwashing.’ (Beyond Plastics负责人Judith Enck表示：‘COP 27应该专注于解决严重的气候危机。相反，我们允许它成为公司洗绿的舞台。’)”和第四段“She was joined in her remarks by Just Zero State Policy Director Peter Blair, who said the company’s sponsorship of COP 27 ‘makes it hard to see this meeting as anything more than a performative act.’ (Just Zero州政策总监Peter Blair与她一起发表了讲话，他表示，该公司对COP 27的赞助‘很难不将这种会议视为一种表演行为。’)”可知，Judith Enck将COP 27称作某些环保不达标的公司掩盖对环境的破坏的舞台，Peter Blair认为COP 27简直是一种表演行为，由此可推测出，两人对COP 27的做法感到气愤和失望。故选D。

14．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Peter Blair, who said the company’s sponsorship of COP 27 ‘makes it hard to see this meeting as anything more than a performative act.’ (Peter Blair表示，该公司对COP 27的赞助‘很难不将这种会议视为一种表演行为。’)”并结合上文可口可乐使用塑料过多可知，可口可乐一方面对COP 27提供赞助，另一方面却在破坏环境。由此可推测出，D项“说是一回事，做是另一回事”最能描述可口可乐的行为。故选D。

15．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段“Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant to be pulled out of the world’s largest climate conference over plastics concerns, arguing the material has become ‘the new coal’. (两个环保组织希望一家主要的软饮料巨头因塑料问题退出世界上最大的气候大会，认为这种材料已经成为‘新的煤炭’。)”点明主旨：两个环保组织希望软饮料巨头可口可乐退出COP 27。故选C。

16．A    17．G    18．B    19．F    20．E

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了思考对成功的作用。

16．上文“The great majority of people go through life without giving much thought to who they are and how they got to where they are today.(绝大多数人在一生中都没有思考太多自己是谁以及他们是如何走到今天的地步的)”讲述了绝大多数人很少思考生活中的事情，这里应对此进行评价，结合后文“like a series of random events, with no explanations and few connections between them(就像一系列随机事件，没有任何解释，这些事件之间也没有什么联系)”可知，A项“结果，生活就这样发生在他们身上”符合题意。故选A。

17．上文“But the fact is that your world is largely created by the thoughts you think, and the things that you do as a result of your thinking.(但事实是，你的世界很大程度上是由你思考的想法和你思考后所做的事情创造的)”讲述了思考造就你的环境。下文“When you change your thinking, you change your life.(当你改变你的思想，你就改变了你的生活)”讲述了思想的作用。G项“当你提升你的思想，你就改善了你的行动和结果”与下文衔接，并列说明了思想的作用，且G项中的“your thinking”与前后句照应，一脉相承。故选G。

18．上文“Your thoughts are like the computer in a guided missile (导弹).(你的思想就像导弹里的电脑)”讲述了思想像导弹里的电脑一样起指导作用。B项“它们会正确地引导你到达目标”承接上文，“They”指代上文的“Your thoughts”。故选B。

19．上文“It turned out that the top 10 percent, the happiest and most successful of this group, thought about two things most of the time: what they wanted and how to get it.(事实证明，这群人中最幸福、最成功的前10%，大部分时间都在想两件事：他们想要什么以及如何得到)”讲述了这10%的人思考的事情：他们想要什么以及如何得到。F项“他们思考自己的目标和可以采取的行动”对此进行进一步说明，且“ their goals”对应上文的“what they wanted”，“the actions”对应上文的“how to get it”。故选F。

20．上文“The more successful people thought about what they wanted and how to get it, the more ideas and insights came to them.(成功的人越是思考他们想要什么以及如何得到它，他们就越有想法和见解)”讲述了成功的人的思考得越多，想法就越多。E项“这些想法促使他们采取更多行动”承接上文，讲述这些想法的用处，“These ideas”对应上文中的“ideas and insights”。故选E。

21．A    22．C    23．A    24．B    25．D    26．C    27．C    28．D    29．B    30．B    31．C    32．A    33．D    34．A    35．B

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。Jim Dwyer退伍后继而为需要帮助的老年人送有营养的饭菜，他的故事告诉我们为了社会的利益而不断努力永远不晚。

37．考查过去分词。句意：ChatGPT由基于美国的人工智能研究公司OpenAI推出，能够用人工智能生成的内容对提示词模仿人类的回复，并帮助人们完成写文章、起草商业提案甚至创作诗歌等任务。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语为is，所以空处应用非谓语动词，作状语。逻辑主语ChatGPT 和launch之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词。故填Launched。

47．One possible version:

As I grabbed the branch, that juicy apricot met me eye to eye. But before I could grab it, we were both in total free fall, falling towards the ground which was covered with rocks. I fell on a large rock on my left side and the entire branch came down on top of me. However, I thought I was only a bit injured. Well, at least the apricot was safe. I quickly got up and told my cousin I was OK. Then, I brushed myself off and hurried him to be on our way home.

As we entered the house, my mother noticed I was covered in dirt. She asked what had happened to me. I just assured her there was nothing she should worry about. To my surprise, my bruise started to burn a little later. At this point I had to admit the fact that I was seriously injured. I repeatedly shouted for my mother at the top of my voice. My mother made her way to me as quickly as she could. I showed her my situation and she rushed me to the hospital immediately. Although I was hurt on my cousin’s birthday, I felt proud because I had done something that I should do as an elder cousin and that made him happy.

【导语】本文讲述作者的表弟要过生日了，妈妈让作者和表弟去商店买东西以便做一个蛋糕，在去商店的路上，表弟发现了一颗又大又黄的杏子，作者决定为表弟摘下来，于是便上了树。

【详解】1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“当我抓住树枝时，那颗多汁的杏子与我眼对眼。”可知，第一段应讲述在摘杏子的时候出现了意外，作者掉了下去。

②由第二段首句内容“当我们走进房子时，我妈妈注意到我身上沾满了泥土。”可知，第二段应讲述妈妈看到作者身上有泥土，结果作者伤得很严重，但作者很自豪，因为作为表哥的作者做了一件事让表弟在生日这一天开心。

2.续写线索：接近杏子——掉到地上——回家被妈妈发现身上有泥土——自己受伤严重——为自己做的事让表弟开心而感到自豪

3.词汇激活

①抓住：grab/hold/catch

②轻微受伤：be a bit injured/be slightly injured/suffer a slight injury

③使确信：assure/convince

②令某人惊讶的是：to one’s surprise/what makes sb. surprised is that…/surprisingly
