26、   The pandemic has almost all of us spending more time than ever staring at screens. That’s true of children too—and not just as a replacement for playing with their friends in person.

Between remote (远程的) classrooms and virtual visits with family, there are plenty of reasons behind the increase screen time, according lo Dr. Jenny Radesky. “Kids’ time on screens has quickly increased—but it’s had to,” she said.

There are already signs that the increased screen time is harming the eyes of Canadian children.

One recent survey out of British Columbia found that 73 per cent of students that were studied reported having experienced at least one eye concern or condition since the pandemic began. Eye health experts think the pandemic will be harmful to child eye health where schools have closed and screen time has increased.

A study by University of British Columbia, based on data from before the pandemic, found that Grade 7 students who spent less than two hours a day on screens reported higher levels of life satisfaction, and that reduced screen time has something to do with lower levels of worry and disappointment.

Radesky said the key is not to put a hard limit on screen time, but to focus on more “problematic” screen- aided activities—those situations in which “media use is taking the place of .he other activities that kids usually love, or is becoming the only thing they want to do.”

She recommended that parents keep a close eye on what their children aw doing on their electronic devices (设备), and steer them away from apps that are trying to keep them addicted or track their data. “The biggest issue is... the way tech is designed is to keep us on longer, to get more clicks,” she said.

【1】The author mentions the survey in British Columbia mainly to tell us that ________.

A．increased screen time does harm to children’s eyes

B．children are addicted to electronic devices

C．few children spend longer time on screens

D．closing schools leads to longer free time

【2】What is screen time linked to according to paragraph 5?

A．Physical states.

B．Mental health.

C．Thinking ways.

D．Rest time management.

【3】What should parents pay special attention to about their children according to Radesky?

A．What they do on screens.

B．The reason for their media use.

C．The lime they spend on screens.

D．How they use electronic devices.

【4】What does the underlined word “steer” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Forgive.

B．Leave.

C．Escape.

D．Guide.

27、   Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes around 1.9 kg of tea annually. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. 【1】 The vast majority of tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?

Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. 【2】 It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.

At the beginning of the 1700s the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. 【3】 They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic.

In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have ‘afternoon tea’. This involves drinking tea with a snack around 4 p.m. to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. 【4】

【5】 It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms - shops where you could buy and drink tea - started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and socialising in these places. At the start of the 20th century, Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Kettles became essential in every kitchen.

A．But tea does not grow in Britain.

B．Britain began to drink tea in the seventeenth century.

C．At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China.

D．The tea culture of Britain is the most famous and typical.

E．It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

F．At this time British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China.

G．In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China.

28、From 1990 to 2000, fishermen trying to get swordfish (剑鱼) off the coast of California accidentally caught and killed over 100 sea turtles (海龟), and injured many more. In 2001, the government set up the Pacific Leatherback Conservation Area (PLCA), an area off the coast of California where fishing boats are not allowed to enter from August to November. Since then, the number of turtles killed by mistake has fallen rapidly, but a small number of animals still die from being caught in fishing nets each year. And at the same time, the once $15 million swordfish industry has become a $ 2 million industry.

Scientists are hoping to find a way to not only protect sea turtles and other endangered creatures but also help fishermen make a living. For this, many scientists are looking at dynamic ocean management to help fishing boats meet fish where they are and avoid catching other creatures by mistake.

The first paper to suggest that the fish living in the open ocean should be guarded with fluid, ever-changing zones of protection, came out in 2000. Larry Crowder, a professor at Hopkins Marine Station, remembers reading it and thinking, “Cool idea, but it will never work.” In 2000, scientists didn’t have the computer power to cheaply test statistical models or deal with satellite data quickly. They didn’t have enough data dealing with fish or satellite data on ocean conditions, either.

Now scientists can download satellite data of oceans in minutes and attach satellite archival tag to sea animals to track their movements. They first collect data by marking the creatures, collecting reports from fishing boats, or other tracking ways. Then they compare that data with weather conditions, the time of year, and any other data that can be sensed. Finally, they can predict where fish probably are.

Crowder and his workmates used the data to develop a tool called EcoCast during the 2012 and 2015 fishing seasons, they could have fished in at least 125,000 square miles, without high risk of hunting turtles.

【1】The government hoped that PLCA and its rules could .

A．prevent fishing in the PLCA

B．help collect data for future research

C．protect the creatures in the area to some degree

D．make the public realize the importance of our environment

【2】Larry Crowder thought dynamic ocean management was at first.

A．unrealistic

B．stupid

C．possible

D．interesting

【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A．A great way to collect data.

B．Some technology fruits in this field

C．A scientific way to find new ocean animals

D．The way dynamic ocean management works

【4】What should be the advantage of using EcoCast?

A．It protects the ocean from pollution.

B．It helps support the fishing industry.

C．It prevents fishermen from getting lost while fishing.

D．It both protects ocean animals and supports the fishing industry.

29、   A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises (出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, tow-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar (奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.

No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

【1】The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ________.

A.repeated without any change

B.treated as a joke

C.made some changes by the parent

D.set in the present

【2】According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is ________.

A.in a realistic setting

B.heard for the first time

C.repeated too often

D.told in a different way

【3】The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ________.

A.fairy stories are still being made up

B.there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales

C.people try to modernize old fairy stories

D.there is more concern for children's fears nowadays

【4】One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that ________.

A.they are full of imagination

B.they just make up the stories which are far from the truth

C.they are not interesting

D.they make teachers of history difficult to teach

He had a full plate of ________ and tofu. He didn’t need a piece of cake. ________, everything in the restaurant is quite ________. Our dinners could have fed a family of seven at a fast food restaurant. That cake probably ________ $5.

He was silent as he looked at the ________ cakes. I had forgotten that I had walked over to the cake shelf while he was ________ his food from the buffet (自助餐).

I looked at my plate. There sitting on the edge was a piece of ________. I looked at it wondering but also knowing how it got there. “We will divide it.” I said.
