I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could ___24___ that well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery（神秘）artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”

Now more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology (数字科技)”. 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 (交流) others.

“I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing (增长的) numbers of child who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to play with making things.” said a Teacher, Colin Kinney. Many children can’t communicate with her children but their parents are proud or 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 break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices, It’s 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 be useful to them when they grow up.

29. What’s the worst problem in the first paragraph?

1. Children can’t make things themselves.
2. Children make too many fiends online.
3. Children don’t want to communicate with others.
4. Children don’t like helping Mun cook meals at home.

30. According to Colin Kinney, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Teachers don’t notice that children have few skills to make things.

B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology.

C. Many teachers don’t care if children can play computers or tablets.

D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.

31. What does the underlined word “blame” mean in Chinese?

A. 表扬   B. 原谅   C. 评价   D. 责怪

32. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. It’s very important for children to have social skills.

B. It’s very helpful for children to do some housework.

C. It’s necessary for parents to learn to use digital technology.

D. It’s difficult for teachers to make right choices for their children.

C

In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do too, Why?

Sometimes, you feel you are acting correctly when you do the same as others. The more people follow an idea, the better or truer you think the idea is. It’s the social proof (社会认同感) that works.

The scientist Asch carries out an experiment. It shows how social proof can influence people. In a room, a man is shown Line 1, and next to it are three lines (A, B, C). A is longer, C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1. He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1. When the man is alone, he gives the correct answer B. Then five other men enter the room, and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to. Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C. Asch gets the same results among different subjects (实验对象).

Why do people act like this? Well, in the past, following others was a way to keep from danger. Suppose that 5.000 years ago, you were hunting with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No. You would have run too. You are descendants（后代）of those who copied other’s actions. It is so so deeply planted in your mind that you still use it now.

Social proof has special power. The advertising industry, for example, often makes use of it. So be careful whenever a company says its product is “the most popular”.

33. At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________________.

1. telling a story  B. giving examples C. answering questions   D. showing a map

34. According to Paragraph 3, the experiment by Asch shows ________________.

1. following others is always right  
2. social proof may change people’s ideas
3. it’s difficult to carry out the experiment 
4. people can study better if they are alone

35. According to the passage, we can infer that ________________.

1. it’s important to run with others anytime
2. products in the advertisement are the best
3. we mustn’t copy others actions to keep safe
4. we need to think twice before following others

五、阅读填空（共20小题：每小题1分，满分20分）

A) 阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. He says that a long summer vacation isn’t liked by most of people in today’s world.

Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic (学业的) futures at risk.

Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are influenced (影响) in the summertime. Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive (连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school offer up to thirteen weeks. To take part in the competition in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.

Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in families where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be a burden (负担). Someone must watch the kids.

But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose basic ground in the summertime.

A longer school year does not mean hard boring schoolwork. Instead, it should allow time-pressed teachers to have richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to sports, languages, music and the arts. Though (虽然) summer vacation can be a great thing, in the 21st century, it may also be out of date.
