Scotlands schools operate a Curriculum(课程) for Excellence which provides knowledge and skills to all nursery, primary and secondary schooling between the ages of 3 - 18.

The study included about 4,500 US children aged 8 to 11 and measured their habits against the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth. It found that 51% of the children got the recommended(建议) nine to eleven hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, 37% met the recreational screen time limit of two hours or less per day, while 18% met the physical activity recommendation of at least 60 minutes of accumulated physical activity a day. Only 5% of the children in the study met all three recommendations; 30% met none at all. The researchers found that as each recommendation was met by a participant, there was a positive association with global cognition, which includes memory, attention, processing speed and language. Those who met all three had the most superior global cognition, followed by those meeting the sleep and screen time recommendation and finally the screen time recommendation alone, according to the study. Other organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics have guidelines in place to help with the management of childrens screen time. The organization suggests putting realistic rules or limits in place for how long your children are on their screens, knowing who they are talking to and what they are doing. The amount of recommended screen time depends on the age of the child. Besides, parents should also make sure to encourage physical activity and have bedroom rules such as creating tech-free zones. 28. Who are the target readers of this passage? A. Researchers. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Children.29. What is the main idea of this passage? A. A study on childrens screen time is published. B. US children fail to meet movement guidelines. C. Organizations are concerned about childrens cognition. D. Limitation on childrens screen time is linked to better cognition.30. According to the passage, which of the following might contributes least to cognition? A. Screen time limit. B. Sleep hours. C. Physical activity time. D. Sleep hours and screen time limit.31. Why does the American organization suggest creating tech-free zones”? A. To make sure children have enough physical playtime. B. To make sure children have enough sleep time. C. To make sure children have recreational time. D. To protect children against radiation.DLondon (CNN) There is no God - thats the conclusion of the celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking, whose final book is published Tuesday. The book Brief Answers to the Big Questions, which was completed by his family after his death, presents answers to the questions that Hawking said he received most during his time on Earth.Other bombshells the British scientist left his readers with include the belief that alien life is out there, artificial intelligence could outsmart humans and time travel cant be ruled out.There is no God. No one directs the universe, he writes in the book.For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse by God, he adds. I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature.While Hawking spoke of his lack of belief in God during his life, several of his other answers are more surprising.There are forms of intelligent life out there, he writes. We need to be cautious about answering back until we have developed a bit further. Travel back in time cant be ruled out according to our present understanding, he says. He also predicts that within the next hundred years we will be able to travel to anywhere in the Solar System.In remarks prepared by Hawking and played at the launch of the book in London on Monday, the scientist also turned his attention to the world he was leaving behind. His greatest concern, his daughter said, is how divided weve become, adding ,He makes this comment about how we seem to have lost the ability to look outward, and we are increasingly looking inward to ourselves.Hawkings final message to readers, though, is a hopeful one. Attempting to answer the question How do we shape the future?, the scientist writes, Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.32. Which question is NOT probably included in the book Brief Answers to the Big Questions,? A. Is there Alien life?B. Does the solar system exist? C. Is time travel possible?D. Does anyone direct the universe?33. Hawking mentioned his disability in his book to_. A. show his confidence. B. complain of God. C. tell readers about his hardship.D. support his disbelief in God.34. What was Hawking most concerned about? A. Artificial intelligence will outsmart humans.B. Allen life will come to the earth some day. C. Technology will destroy the world.D. Human beings are not united.35. What did Hawking suggest human beings do? A. Contact alien life.B. Explore the universe. C. Develop the earth.D. Respect artificial intelligence.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Therere five factors which contribute to the spread of fake news: political gain; misreporting; going viral(病毒式传播); financial gain; and “not letting the truth get in the way of a good story. 36 When the Titanic disaster happened, Telegrams stating that all the passengers from the Titanic had been rescued were reported as fact in newspapers, before the full extent of the tragedy came to light. 37 In the early 20th century it took years rather than seconds but the principle was the same. People shared the photographs around, not checking the accuracy of them, either wanting to believe they were real, or just because they were a novelty, Its long been believed that the motto of Fleet Street was “never let the facts get in the way of a good story, illustrated by a news story earlier in 2017 that Jeremy Corbyn had refused to bow his head to the Queen at the state opening of Parliament. Only later did it become known that protocol(礼节) doesnt require bowing to the Queen in these situations. 38 The final two factors for a story to be fake news often go hand in hand: as a political tool, and a must to make profit. 39 Easier than youd think. The websites with fake news can easily get astonishing hits, which then attracts advertisements and thus earn the website owners a nice profit . The good news is that a number of new media organizations are trying to encourage us to think about where news comes from, who puts it out, and whether anyone can gain politically, financially or ideologically by it, before we share it around social media. 40 A. How does that make money? B. How do people gain politically?C. But that didnt matter, the story was out.D. Here is a good example of misreporting.E. That was how a good story came into being.F. Going viral is another typical characteristic of fake news.G. Thus we can give it certain respectability and trustworthiness.第三部分: 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节: 完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When Iwas twelve, Itook part in a six-day hiking with the Scout troop for fifty miles through the mountain in autumn.
