22、. We have been taught for generations that work is the only goal.Time that is unfilled is evil. We are led to believe, and unplanned enjoyment should be avoided.

Little did I know.Because we did not get our boarding passes until we arrived at the gate, Kallie and I could not get seats together and were separated by the aisle

31、. It wasnt a big deal, but Kallie was nervous about the trip and had counted on me reading to her the whole way.When the two passengers who shared my row boarded the plane, I asked if they would switch places with us, so that we could be together and so that she could sit next to the window. They re

There had been a mistake in their boarding passes; the whole family had been split up.She was in tears, yet nobody offered to help.Suddenly the Sc

33、out leader stood up and said, “Maam, I think we can help you.” He then spent five minutes rearranging his group so that adequate space was available for the family. The boys followed his directions cheerfully and without complaint, and the mothers relief was obvious.Kallie, however, was beginning to

34、 panic at the thought of not being next to a window or her mother. I told her that there wasnt anything I could do; we would have to sit where we were. Amazingly, the man sitting next to the Scoutmaster, turned around to me and asked, “Would you and your daughter like our seats?” referring to himsel

40、how children in poorer families spend more time than those from better-off families watching TV, playing video games and on social networking sites.“Im not anti technology at home, but its not a savior (救星),” said Laura Robell, principal at Elmhurst Community Prep, a middle school in the lower-incom

42、raries. Some private and state projects already exist.A study published in 2022 by the Kaiser Family Foundation, which studies health policy in the US, found that children of parents without college degrees spent 90 minutes more per day exposed to media than children from higher socioeconomic famili

43、es.Children of parents without a college degree spent 11.5 hours each day exposed to media, an increase of 4 hours and 40 minutes per day since 1999.Even children of more educated parents tended to use their devices for entertainment 10 hours of multimedia a day, a 3.5-hour jump from 1999.“Despite t

44、he educational potential of computers, the reality is that their use for education or meaningful content creation is tiny compared to their use for pure entertainment,” said Vicky Rideout, author of the study. “Instead of closing the achievement gap, theyre widening the time-wasting gap.”In 12-year-

45、old Markiy Cooks family, money is limited, but there are two laptops, an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii. Markiy has his own phone.

46、ffering with a D average. He wants to be a biologist when he grows up.Alejandro Zamora, 13, an eighth grader, calls himself “a Facebook freak”.

51、e American families.Keys: 1-5 ACBDA 6-10 BDCAB11-15 CDCBD 16-20 ABCAB1. A。前后两句之间是因果关系,故选A。2. C。intent意思是“意图、目的”。3. B。此题只需理解各词组的意思即可做出正确选择。take out 取出；put away 收好、放一边；turn up 出现；而pick up意为“用较少的钱买到”。4. D。由“degrees Fahrenheit”可断定该句在表述温度。5. A。只有all才能表达出作者做了各种尝试，和“no matter how hard I tried”意思吻合。6. B。根据句

52、意判断为“更改”。而且紧跟着的一句也提示动词应该为“change”: “.to change the temperature settings”。7. D。上一句说其他电子钟都有专门的键来更改温度设置，而作者在这只钟上没找到，所以是missing。如果选left，意思不通；而新购买的钟不可能broken；通过下文可知也不是“misplaced”。8. C。in vain 徒劳地；in place 在适当的位置；in effect 有效、起作用；in practice 在实践，在练习。9. A。根据上下文，此句在说时间。10. B。需要更改的是温度的显示方式。 display 显示。11. C。

53、排除法。自己告诉自己。mind 头脑、感觉、记忆。12. D。根据句意，作者是说每一次摁“mode”键时，都有个“对应的”反应。13. C。句中“one by one”暗示作者这次摁得很慢。14. B。和文章开头“battle”一词呼应。15. D。这里表示作者调对温度显示后的兴奋感觉。16. A。“小事” 用incident表述。17. B。根据句意排除其他否定副词，选always。18. C。solve 解决。其他选项不符合文中语境。19. A。in store 等着，准备着; in turn 轮流，依次。20. B。此处意思是“胜利只是时间问题”。21. D。从“Begin your s

54、cholarship research early”可判断D正确。22. B。从“Answer questions as they are asked. Dont go off topic”可判断B正确。23. B。从“review your application with your parents to make sure you havent left out any important details”判断B正确。24. C。从“It was evidence of my leisure time, of travel, of interruption from the office:

55、 miles covered, sights seen, train stations raced through, goals achieved”，作者批判的“We have been taught for generations that work is the only goal”，后文作者陈述的leisure travel的好处，以及“The magic of a holiday is in the experience itself”可判断作者享受的是leisure travel本身，把它作为一种目标。作者喜欢这张照片是因为照片里人的状态，而并非那一次旅行本身，A不准确。25. A。

56、从“I take along something extra”，“has a habit of ruining trips with feelings of guilt”以及“The conflict between the time we want off and the guilt we feel”可判断作者这次出去旅行带了点负疚感guilt，即The feeling of doing something wrong。26. B。从“Actively pursuing leisure increases your desire to work, leadership skills, you

57、r sense of competence, and your adaptability”和“Free time also promotes a positive mood and sense of well-being”等可总结出，leisure time最大的好处是有益于个人的发展。从“a vacation isnt about output; its about input”可判断 A错误，C和D文中没有提到。27. D。从最后一段“The best part of a vacationbeing where you are, fully involved in the experien

58、ce”可判断D正确。28. A。第二段里，作者和女儿在登机时看见了一队男童子军，作者对女儿说，有他们在一切都会OK的。由下文可知，她不知道接下来，真的是在他们的影响下，她和女儿能够换好座位坐在一起，所以A正确，to some degree意思是“在某种程度上”。29. B。第四段里，那位母亲和她的三个孩子都不坐在一起，焦虑地都流泪了，可是还是没有人帮忙换座位，所以a正确。第四段的“They refused, saying they thought they should stay in their assigned seats”说明d正确。第三段里提到，开始的时候作者的女儿希望作者能在飞机上给

59、她读书，但是登机后发现她们的座位不在一起，所以e正确。第五段的“The boys followed his directions cheerfully and without complaint”说明b的unwilling不对。第六段的“Kallie, however, was beginning to panic at the thought of not being next to a window or her mother”说明c的calm不对。所以正确答案为ade，选B。30. D。根据最后一段，作者说如果那些童子军们开始的时候没有帮助那位母亲和她的孩子们，她不知道那位男士会不会主动

60、提出帮作者换座位，所以contagious的意思应该是“传染的”。31. A。作者在本文中讲述了自己和女儿在一次飞行旅途中的遭遇。在童子军们帮助一位母亲和她的孩子们把座位换到一起后，作者和女儿也在好心人的帮助下成功坐到了一起，尤其是文章的最后一句话点出了本文的中心思想，即一件好事会带来更多的好事。32. C。根据Laura的话“So often we have parents come up to us and say, I have no idea how to monitor Facebook.”可知，很多孩子沉迷于Facebook等社交网络，他们不知道如何正确地在家里使用现代技术。33.

61、 A。根据文意可知受教育程度低的学生接触多媒体的时间要少，Even children of more educated parents tended to use their devices for entertainment 10 hours of multimedia a day, a 3.5-hour jump from 1999.这句话也表明这些孩子接触纯娱乐信息的时间相比受教育程度低的父母的孩子更少。34. C。根据文章可知两人使用多媒体主要是和朋友交流和玩游戏，和教育相关甚少。35. B。纵观全文，主要讲述了在高新科技逐渐普及的今天，虽然电子技术普及的差距正在减少，但是一个新的问题却到来了。文中开篇就提到Nowadays the divide has grown smaller, but left a troubling side effect. 而这一差距就是穷人家的孩子多是利用高科技玩游戏或者聊天，而富人家的孩子则没有。这使得穷人家的孩子浪费了很多的精力，成绩也收到了影响。9
