The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if 17 had happened.Kids, when they fall down they dont consider their falling down as a failure, but 18 , they treat it as a learning experience.

One by one, our screens are turned off. We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.Most people in our lives know they will not be able to contact us by using computers or mobile phones for 24 hours. And so it has gone every week for three years. We call it our “Technology Shabbat（科技安息日）”, which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2020, when my father was told that he had got brain cancer. Some days he would have only one good hour, and I wasnt willing to be disturbed（打扰） when I was with him, so Id turn off my mobile phone.Soon after, encouraged by National Day of Unplugging（全国断网断电日）on March 1st, my husband and I decided to unplug for one full day every week.During our “Technology Shabbats”, time slows. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive our car or ride our bikes. We, with our kids, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals. I feel more balanced. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is my lasting state. The technology weve created makes it possible for us to share knowledge and take in various ideas all over the world. But the technology also takes something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking（连接）from website to website or sending messages or e-mailing, we click again, and again, and again until were overloaded（超负荷的）.When we rush into the time full of high technology, its necessary for us to pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go off.I will always remember the most important thing in my family: “Technology Shabbat”.26. What happens in the writers family during their “Technology Shabbat”?A. All the iPads and screens are thrown out of their house.B. Their friends cant get in touch with them by ringing them up or through e-mail.C. They feel bored even though they drive their car, ride their bikes, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals.D. They stay up late at night linking from website to website.27. The writer understood the importance of disconnecting because _.A. she fully enjoyed the valuable and limited time with her sick father by turning off her mobile phone B. she didnt want to be like her father when she was oldC. her father had got brain cancerD. her father asked her to turn off her mobile phone in order not to be disturbed28. The writers family have “Technology Shabbat” every week mainly because they hope to _. A. save money B. follow National Day of Unplugging C. enjoy life together D. stay away from others29. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Every family must have “Technology Shabbat”.B. People had better not send messages, e-mail or chat online.C. A woman should learn to be a good mother or wife.D. People need to stay away from technology sometimes.BPeople dont like to talk about trash. Trash is smelly, dirty, ugly, broken and useless stuff. Thats why we throw it out. But everyone knows that trash affects our environment. It can pollute our land, water and air. So its important to recycle our trash as much as possible.Some Americans were very interested in recycling and they were curious about what really happened to their trash. So, what did they do? They became detectives（侦探）and decided to “Follow that trash!”They took some items out of their recycling bin and put electronic tags（标签）on them. The tags would send signals to a computer so people could follow their trash on its journey. They found that some trash only travelled a few kilometers but some trash travelled hundreds of kilometers. Some trash was recycled but much of it went into landfills（垃圾掩埋地）.Waste management companies in America think this detective work will be helpful to them. Getting rid of waste is very expensive and this “trash tracking” will help them to become more efficient. It will save their time and money.However, the trash detectives say its also important to reduce the amount of trash we produce. After all, if we produce less waste, we wont have to worry about where it goes.30. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “tracking”? A. 处理 B. 运送 C. 跟踪 D. 回收31. How do Americans track the trash? A. They put electronic tags on some of their trash. B. They send signals to their trash through a computer. C. Some Americans travelled hundreds of kilometers to see what really happened to their trash. D. Many of them followed their trash on its journey and went to landfills. 32. Using the electronic tags on trash can _.A. save time and energy B. get rid of waste C. reduce the amount of trash we produce D. make some trash travel hundreds of kilometers33. This passage mainly tells us _. A. trash affects our environment B. we can use the “trash tracking” to save time and money and protect our environment C. some Americans were very interested in recycling D. its also important to reduce the amount of trash we produceCIn the supermarket this week, my nine-year-old daughter came running over to me with a DVD in her hand. “Mum! Hotel for Dogs is out - can we get it?” I explained that she could, if she wanted to buy it out of her own money. She looked at the price and put it back.As usual, my kids are delighted to spend my money on whatever they can get , but are much more careful and thoughtful when it comes to putting their hands in their own pockets. I like to think this is because they have, to some extent（程度）, earned their money and it therefore has a value to them.My childrens pocket money is reward-based. They each have certain weekly jobs: they tidy their rooms, fold and organize their clothes and clear the table. There are things that we need to pay attention to while rewarding（奖赏）children: the rules need to be clear, transparent（透明）and very fair. And I dont want money to be connected in their minds with the giving of love.Therefore, my childrens pocket money is not based on them “being good”. It is too difficult to be good for most normal children all day, every day for a full week.I also dont believe in paying my children to be kind, considerate and well-mannered. This is something we expect from them as part of our family and as little human beings. As a reward for good behavior such as going to bed on time, Id rather use a reward-based activity or experience that is done together: an ice skating or a cinema trip instead of money. Punishments for bad behavior will usually be not allowing them to play.I really want to teach good money management skills to my children, and I believe allowing them to earn - and spend - their own pocket money is a great place to start.34. When the author allowed her daughter to buy the DVD out of her own money, _. A. she was quite delighted to spend the money B. she tried to persuade the author to pay the bill C. she decided to earn more money to buy it later D. she gave it up because it was too expensive for her 35. The underlined phrase “putting their hands in their own pockets” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_”. A. earning money by themselves B. spending their own money C. mending their own pockets D. doing certain weekly jobs36. What should the children do in order to make some money? A. Be good, kind, considerate and well-mannered. B. Give love to their parents or friends. C. Go to bed on time. D. Do some housework at home.37. The author holds the view that _. A. kids should learn how to give love B. parents should earn and spend money for their kids C. kids should learn to manage their own money D. parents should set an example to their kids第四节 语言综合运用（共14.5分）单词填空（38-46题每小题0.5分，满分4.5分）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词的正确形式，使短文意思完整。每个空格只能填写一个单词。If you do not use your arms and legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start u 38 them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the s 39 way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his m 40 in practice by using it. When someone says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chances to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells you that he has a p 41 memory, many of us think his parents may be blamed（责备）, and f 42 of us know that it is his own fault. Have you ever f 43 that some people can not read or write but usually they have b 44 memories? This is because they cant read or write and they have to remember things. They can not write t 45 in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs, and stories, s 46 their memory is always being exercised.As a result, if you want to have a good memory,
