Students spent the most time on social media, reading email, online shopping for items and watching videos.Their academic performance suffered. Internet use was a significant predictor of students final exam scores even when their intelligence and motivation were taken into account, said lead author Susan Ravizza. “The detrimental relationship associated with non-academic Internet use raises debates about the policy of encouraging students to bring their laptops to class when they are unnecessary for class use.”The research was conducted in a one-hour lecture course with 507 students. In all, 127 students agreed to participate in the study, and they were monitored when they went online. Of those participants, 83 went on the Internet for non-class-related purposes in more than half of the 15 lessons during the term and were included in the final analysis. Intelligence was measured by ACT scores. Motivation to succeed in class was measured by an online survey sent to each participant when the term was over.Interestingly, using the Internet for class purposes did not help students test scores. But Ravizza said she wasnt surprised. “There were no Internet- based assignments in this course, which means that most of the academic use was downloading lecture slides in order to follow along or take notes.”“Previous research has shown that taking notes on a laptop is not as beneficial for learning as writing notes by hand. Once students open their laptops, it is probably fascinating to do other sorts of Internet-based tasks that are not class- relevant.”In her courses, Ravizza has stopped posting lecture slides before class. Instead, she waits until the week before the exam to upload them so there is no reason for students to bring a laptop to class. “I now ask students to sit in the back if they want to bring their laptop to class so their Internet use is not distracting other students,”4. According to the text, when students brought laptops to class, they _A. got tired of their lessonsB. spent less time studyingC. were willing to take notesD. increase motivation to study5. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph2 mean?A. favorableB. negativeC. unfair.D. normal.6. How is Para 3 developed?A. By analyzing causes and results.B. By listing a series of advantagesC. By providing a specific example.D. By describing an experimental process.7. What is the authors purpose of writing this text?A. To call for the limitation of laptops in class.B. To encourage students to take notes by hand.C. To introduce the benefits of using laptops in class.D. To show the best way to download lecture slides in class.【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章叙述了学生带笔记本电脑进课堂的弊端，呼吁在课堂上限制笔记本电脑。4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中found the average time spent surfing the Internet for non-class-related purposes was 37 minutes. Students spent the most time on social media, reading email, online shopping for items and watching videos.“研究发现，学生花在与上课无关的上网上的平均时间为37分钟。学生们花在社交媒体、阅读电子邮件、网上购物和看视频上的时间最多。”由此可知，根据课文，当学生把笔记本电脑带到课堂上，他们花在学习上的时间更少。故选B。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段中The detrimental relationship associated with non-academic Internet use raises debates about the policy of encouraging students to bring their laptops to class when they are unnecessary for class use.“与非络使用相关的有害关系引发了关于鼓励学生在不需要上课时携带笔记本电脑上课的政策的辩论。”由此推知划线词的意思是“有害的，消极的”。故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中The research was conducted in a one-hour lecture course with 507 students. In all, 127 students agreed to participate in the study, and they were monitored when they went online. Of those participants, 83 went on the Internet for non-class-related purposes in more than half of the 15 lessons during the term and were included in the final analysis.“本研究以507名学生为研究对象，进行了一小时的课堂教学。共有127名学生同意参与这项研究，他们在上网时受到了监控。在这些参与者中，83人在学期的15节课中有超过一半的时间上网是为了与课堂无关的目的，并被纳入最终分析。”可知，第三段是在描述一个实验过程。故选D。【7题详解】目的意图题。根据最后一段中“I now ask students to sit in the back if they want to bring their laptop to class so their Internet use is not distracting other students,”“ 如果学生们想带笔记本电脑来上课，我现在让他们坐在后排，这样他们上网就不会分散其他学生的注意力。”可知本文呼吁在课堂上限制笔记本电脑。故选A。CIts shocking that countless species become extinct every year and such extinction means forever. To change the situation, scientists are now on their way to bringing back extinct species.DNA is the chemical that carries the structure of a living thing, which is needed by researchers to bring back a species. Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils. However it seems possible to bring back more recently extinct species such as Ice Age animal, the woolly mammoth. In 2020, a team of Spanish and French scientists re-created the Pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier. The new animal didnt survive long, but scientific advances should improve the success rate. In January, Australian scientists announced that they were trying to restore the brooding frog.That we can bring species back doesnt mean that we should. There may be benefits to bring back a species. But theres no way to know how it will turn out. For example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat? Or might it crowd out existing species?Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation. Why bother to preserve a wild life habitat or fight poachers(偷猎者) if we know we can make up for our mistakes?But those extinctions are our mistakes to correct. As environmentalist Stewart Brand put it, “Humans have the ability to repair some of that damage.”We would do well to remember the lesson of Jurassic Park: Continue with caution.8. What can we know from Para 2?A. Scientists have successfully brought back some dinosaurs.B. Its likely for scientists to bring back recently extinct animals.C. Scientists have discovered DNA of all Ice Age species in fossils.D. Ice Age animals live longer than before after being brought back to life9. Paragraph 3 mainly shows that bringing back extinct species is _.A. harmfulB. realisticC. helpfulD. double-edged10. What makes environmentalists worried according to the passage?A. Scientists cannot make up for the mistakes they made in DNA researchB. Scientists still lack technical support to bring back extinct species to life.C. Traditional conservation seems useless when restoring species is available.D. Species that will be brought back to life after distinction will not survive long.11. What is the probable attitude of Stewart Brand toward bringing extinct species back to life?A. CriticalB. Worried.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是让灭绝物种的回归。令人震惊的是，每年都有无数的物种灭绝，而这样的灭绝意味着永远。为了改变这种情况，科学家们现在正着手让灭绝的物种回归。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中However it seems possible to bring back more recently extinct species such as Ice Age animal, the woolly mammoth.“然而，似乎有可能使最近灭绝的物种重新出现，比如冰河时代的猛犸象。”由此可知，科学家最近很可能会把灭绝的动物带回来。故选B。【9题详解】段落大意题。根据第三段That we can bring species back doesnt mean that we should. There may be benefits to bring back a species. But theres no way to know how it will turn out. For example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat? Or might it crowd out existing species?“我们能让物种回归并不意味着我们应该这么做。把一个物种带回来可能会有好处。但是没有办法知道结果会怎样。例如，信鸽能适应它原来的栖息地吗?或者它会排挤现存物种?”可知，第三段主要表明，把灭绝的物种带回地球是一件双刃剑。故选D。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation. Why bother to preserve a wild life habitat or fight poachers(偷猎者) if we know we can make up for our mistakes?“环保人士担心，我们将物种带回地球的能力可能会减少对传统保护工作的支持。如果我们知道我们可以弥补我们的错误，为什么还要费心去保护野生动物栖息地或打击偷猎者呢?”可知，当恢复物种可用时，传统的保护似乎毫无用处。故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段But those extinctions are our mistakes to correct. As environmentalist Stewart Brand put it, “Humans have the ability to repair some of that damage.”“ 但这些灭绝是我们需要纠正的错误。正如环保主义者斯图尔特布兰德所说，人类有能力修复其中的一些损害。”可知，斯图尔特布兰德对于让灭绝的物种复活持支持的态度。故选D。【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第4小题，根据倒数第二段But those extinctions are our mistakes to correct. As environmentalist Stewart Brand put it, “Humans have the ability to repair some of that damage.”“ 但这些灭绝是我们需要纠正的错误。正如环保主义者斯图尔特布兰德所说，人类有能力修复其中的一些损害。”可知，斯图尔特布兰德对于让灭绝的物种复活持支持的态度。故选D。DOne day, a strong tall man broke into Erics home, shot and killed her mother in her presence. Nearly scared to death, she screamed and escaped. Then the child hadnt talked about her mother ever since. She just went into silence.The first time she was introduced to my class, I decided to help the silent girl, who apparently had the pain of living without her mother.However hard I tried, day by day, week by week, my efforts seemed to be in vain, as I didnt seem to get any closer to Eric. Admittedly, my faith was fading away with the cold，boring March days draggingI felt my heart was broken and ached desperately. I doubted whether this girl was able to come alive. I wondered when it was that she was able to respond to me actively and be aware of the fun, the beauty and the fantastic world around her.Then on a late March day，Judy, one of the school children excitedly claimed that she had seen a beautiful bird in the schoolyard, sign of spring. Springs here!all the children cried delightedly when they flocked to the window to see the birdLets make a flower border for the room to welcome spring!Why not? Anything to lift our spirits is goodWe selected colourful papers with brown strips for our basketsShowing the children how to weave the baskets and how to decorate all the flowers to welcome early spring, I carefully put the beautifully colored papers on Erics desk and encouraged her to have a goThen I spent the next hour sorting out strips of paper at the back of the room while the children were doing their own creating busily.Suddenly Judy came hurrying to me，her face red“Come and see Erics basket. It looks extremely charming!”I held my breath at its beauty, “Eric, it is so fascinating! Tell me how you ever managed it.” She looked up at me with a warm smile, her eyes shining like any normal kid“My mother was fond of flowers,” she said clearly“Mother had all kinds of beautiful flowers growing in our garden”Erics basket was placed in the very center of the border at the front of the classroom and remained there until late in June when school was to endOn the last day，Eric was carrying it out of the door carefully when she came running back towards me. She pulled a flower made of red paper from her basket and presented it to me, hugging me gentlyIve kept this special gift in my room ever since then. I cherish it because it always reminds me of the power of love and faith12. What is the main purpose of the first two paragraphs?A. Describe a
