• 1．Aubrey is a FedEx driver who has made regular delivery stops in a rural neighborhood in Indiana.During her stops there，she would see an 11-year-old boy，Elijah，playing basketball with an old and rusty bent hoop.
      "It was crazy to me how happy he was with the broken hoop.Every time I saw him，he was so joyful playing basketball.Seeing him so happy stuck with me，" said Aubrey.
     The FedEx driver thought about Elijah many times over the months，and decided that she wanted to bless him in a special way. "I just wouldn't stop thinking about it.I really wanted to get him a hoop.He deserves it."
     Aubrey went out and bought a new basketball hoop and installed it when the family wasn't home.She left a note that read："Just wanted you and your son to have the best hoop that'll grow with him and all his friends." She signed herself "just one of the FedEx drivers in the area".
     "I read the note，and the moment I realized who it was from，I started to cry，" said Coledo，Elijah's mom. "When Elijah came home and I showed it to him，he got really emotional.He got teary-eyed but he's an 11-year-old boy，so he really didn't want to admit he was crying，" laughed Coledo. "He just sat there for 10 minutes staring at the hoop until it really touched him that she went out of her way to do something just for him."
     Aubrey had no idea how much her surprise gift had impacted Elijah and his family.They all had gone through a difficult year with Coledo's husband suffering a serious injury，and Coledo crashing her car. "It's just been a hard year.We're so humbled and grateful she would do this for us.This has been a huge thing for us，" said Coledo.
     When Aubrey made another FedEx delivery to their neighborhood，Elijah saw her，ran to her and hugged her.Elijah also gave Aubrey a card he made for her.And he invited her to play a game of basketball with him and his younger brother.
     "It was almost like we'd always known each other.I really bonded with the boys，" said Aubrey. "I'm just really happy they know that someone is out there for them."

• 2．In 1953，when visiting his daughter's math class，the Harvard psychologist B.F.Skinner found every pupil learning the same topic in the same way at the same speed.Later，he built his first "teaching machine"，which let children tackle questions at their own pace.Since then，education technology（edtech）has repeated the cycle of hype and flop（炒作和失敗），even as computers have reshaped almost every other part of life.
     Soft wares to "personalize" learning can help hundreds of millions of children stuck in miserable classes—but only if edtech supporters can resist the temptation to revive harmful ideas about how children learn.Alternatives have so far failed to teach so many children as efficiently as the conventional model of schooling，where classrooms，hierarchical year-groups，standardized curriculums and fixed timetables are still the typical pattern for most of the world's nearly 1.5 billion schoolchildren.Under this pattern，too many do not reach their potential.That condition remained almost unchanged over the past 15 years，though billions have been spent on IT in schools during that period.
     What really matters then？The answer is how edtech is used.One way it can help is through tailor-made instruction.Reformers think edtech can put individual attention within reach of all pupils.The other way edtech can aid learning is by making schools more productive.In California schools，instead of textbooks，pupils have "playlists"，which they use to access online lessons and take tests.The software assesses children's progress，lightening teachers' marking load and allowing them to focus on other tasks.A study suggested that children in early adopters of this model score better in tests than their peers at other schools.
     Such innovation is welcome.But making the best of edtech means getting several things right.First，"personalized learning" must follow the evidence on how children learn.It must not be an excuse to revive pseudoscientific ideas such as "learning styles"：the theory that each child has a particular way of taking in information.This theory gave rise to government-sponsored schemes like Brain Gym，which claimed that some pupils should stretch or bend while doing sums.A less consequential falsehood is that technology means children do not need to learn facts or learn from a teacher—instead they can just use Google.Some educationalists go further，arguing that facts get in the way of skills such as creativity.Actually，the opposite is true.According to studies，most effective ways of boosting learning nearly all relied on the craft of a teacher.
     Second，edtech must narrow，rather than widen，inequalities in education.Here there are grounds for optimism.Some of the pioneering schools are private ones in Silicon Valley.But many more are run by charter-school groups teaching mostly poor pupils，where laggards（成績(jī)落后者） make the most progress relative to their peers in normal classes.A similar pattern can be observed outside America.
     Third，the potential for edtech will be realized only if teachers embrace it.They are right to ask for evidence that products work.But skepticism should not turn into irrational opposition.Given what edtech promises today，closed-mindedness has no place in the classroom.
  
  （1）According to the passage，education technology can

  .
  A．decrease teachers' working load
  B．facilitate personalized learning
  C．help standardize curriculums
  D．be loved by schoolchildren
  （2）Which example best argues against the underlined sentence in Para.4？

  
  A．The students who are better at memorization tend to be less creative.
  B．Schools with bans on phones have better results than high-tech ones.
  C．Shakespeare was trained in grammar but he penned many great plays.
  D．Lu Xun's creativity was unlocked after he gave up studying medicine.
  （3）The author believes that edtech functions well only when it is

  .
  A．a(chǎn)t the service of teaching
  B．limited in use among pupils
  C．a(chǎn)imed at narrowing the wealth gap
  D．in line with students' learning styles
  （4）What is the main purpose of the passage？

  
  A．To stress the importance of edtech.
  B．To introduce the application of edtech.
  C．To discuss how to get the best out of edtech.
  D．To appeal for more open-mindedness to edtech.

• 3．A young girl，who enjoys being the center of attention，may act out for her friends and family.Then one day her mother tells her to stop being so silly and grow up.This negative attention may make the girl feel ashamed of her behavior and from then on，hold back her free-spiritedness and then go through life feeling as if she can't fully express herself for fear of being laughed at.
     The girl's experience shows how people live with shame when they have been criticized（批評(píng)）for just being themselves.
     When it comes to teenagers，there are times they can be extremely difficult and try their parents' patience.When parents become frustrated，they may say things like "I am starting to really not like you. " They may not mean what they say.They may just be tired of arguing with the teenager and have become emotionally overwhelmed.However，the teenager doesn't know their words are out of frustration，and may feel his parents are telling him they're sorry they ever had him.The child may conclude that he is a bad person.Such casual criticism by parents can linger and stick to children like glue.
     How to make this better？The next time a child shows you a drawing he's done，or sings a song for you in an effort to get your attention，recognize that your response may be extremely important toward the child's willingness to continue to explore these creative efforts.When a child is dancing and an adult makes fun of him，the negativity he feels can completely shut the child down from that activity，or even worse，fill him with shame as if something's wrong with him.
     That is why it is so important for parents to recognize that children are exploring their world.The more encouragement we show them and the more we keep their sense of what's possible alive，the more likely they will be to explore and find their own enthusiasm in life.
     They will keep alive their joy and their dreams for the future.As parents，I don't think we can hope for anything more.
  
  （1）How does the author introduce the topic of the passage？

  
  A．By describing a scene.
  B．By giving an explanation.
  C．By making a comparison.
  D．By providing an example.
  （2）What effect can parents' mindless criticism have on children？

  
  A．They may have a low opinion of themselves for long.
  B．They may no longer feel afraid of being made fun of.
  C．They may want to challenge their parents' patience further.
  D．They may work harder to live up to their parents' expectations.
  （3）What are parents advised to do when a child seeks for attention？

  
  A．Point out his weaknesses.
  B．Protect his passion for exploration.
  C．Comment on his behavior.
  D．Encourage his reflection on himself.

• 9．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫(xiě)，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。
      I reached into my backpack，feeling for my cellphone.I was tired of Aunt Letty talking on and on about her chickens，horses and cows.Worse，I was afraid of having to spend spring break at her farm.
      In spite of my protest，my parents decided that spending time at the farm would be a great experience for me.My parents both grew up on farms and believed that responsibility，hard work and respect for the land were valuable lessons. "Lessons you need to learn，son，" they said.
      "So，have you ever ridden a horse？" Aunt Letty asked，trying to turn my attention away from my phone.
      "Hmmm，no.But I've seen horses on TV，" I answered，absent-minded.
      "Well，we've got a nice horse I think you'll like. Hercules — sounds like a beast，but he's a gentle giant.The other animals have names too，but don't worry，you won't have to remember their names.If you show up at the gate with feed，they're happy!" she said smiling.
      I glanced at my aunt，angry that I was expected to work.Vacations were meant for sleeping late，playing video games，and maybe skateboarding.I tried to text a friend.
      "Phones don't work well out here.With all the hills and valleys，it's hard to get a connection."
      I continued texting，but she was right — there was no cell reception.
      The next few days were busy.We had breakfast before dawn.Then we went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed.The afternoons were occupied with hauling hay，clean-up，and caring for the animals.The animals depended on Aunt Letty，but they also provided her with affection and necessities such as eggs，milk and cheese.
      At dusk，when the farm was finally quiet，Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and said， "Just take a deep breath of the sweet country air!" I，exhausted，was unable to appreciate my work.

  1.所續(xù)寫(xiě)短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；

      After the ride，time at the farm seemed to be different._________.
