"Where do you last remember seeing your glasses?" he asked.

16.(6 分)When it comes to internet safety for kids,one important aspect that must
be addressed is social media sites.Social media sites such as Facebook can be
a great way for kids to interact with each other.But it's also important for
parents to be aware of(意识到) the negative effects and dangers of being on
such sites.
Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to keep kids safe on social media
sites.Think of the Internet as a Big,Open Space.You wouldn't drop your child
off at a big public place like a mall for the day and expect everyone he meets
to treat him with kindness and protect his best interests,would you?That is
a good analogy(类比)for What happens when a child goes online unsupervised.Be
sure to keep a close eye on exactly who your child is talking to and when.
Be aware of the possibility for bullying (欺负).While it is probably the
case that many children online will have pleasant interactions with friends and
peers,for the most part,the truth is that bullying—both online and off—is
a reality among children.When you have more opportunity for social interaction,
学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司
you have more opportunity for rejection or bullying by peers.Keep an eye out for
signs that your child may be the one who is bullied,and educate yourself about
bullying in school.
Know about something called facebook depression (抑郁症).Researchers say
looking at Instagram or Facebook posts of happy events in others' lives can make
some kids with poor self﹣esteem(自尊)feel even worse.That makes a certain amount
of sense when you consider the fact that people tend to post happy news and photos
of themselves at parties on social media sites.Be sure to explain to your child
that what he sees on social media sites is definitely not what a person's everyday
real life is.People are not likely to post news about failures or mistakes or
times when they are not feeling good about themselves.Images of shiny,happy people
on such sites tell only a small pair of the much bigger story.
(1)What can we learn from the passage?
A.Social media sites are very good for kids.
B.Happy events in others' lives can influence some kids with poor self﹣esteem.
C.Kids have more opportunities for bullying by peers at school.
D.Happy photos posted on social media sites are people's real life.
(2)The word "unsupervised" in Paragraph 2 probably mean "
".
A.not to be with
B.not under watch and direct
C.not looked for
D.not thought and learned
(3)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Learning about Social Media
B.Talking about Social Media
C.Helping Your Kid with Social Media
D.Keeping Your Kid Safe on Social Media
17.(8 分)Just like a detective following clues that lead to the perpetrator(罪
犯)of a crime,you as a reader must use context (语境)clues within a text passage
to tell the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.Context clues are simply hints (提
示)or additional information the author provides that can help you understand
the meaning of a difficult word or phrase.These clues can be found in the same
sentence as the vocabulary word or elsewhere in the passage,so be on the lookout
学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司
whenever a new term presents itself.
With reading comprehension (理解)being as important to all aspects of life
as it is today,it's no wonder that language skills such as vocabulary are
emphasized (强调).You will most definitely meet vocabulary questions in the
reading parts of tests,and you're going to have to use some skills to get you
through.
Understanding how various types of context clues work can help you to
understand difficult vocabulary words,even those brand new to you.There may be
some words you can't completely understand in a text,but you shouldn't let that
discourage you.Inside the passage,where all the interesting clues of vocabulary
lie,you can figure challenging words out.
Context clues are also helpful when you're trying to work out the main idea
of a passage or struggling to make inferences (推断)about meaning because unknown
words can help connect the dots in useful ways.
Every author writes differently,so a number of different types of context
clues can be found in reading passages.Some authors offer very little explanation
for difficult words,throwing difficult vocabulary into their writing wherever
they can with little or no help,other authors carefully create their passages
to make sure readers follow every step of the way,and most are somewhere in the
middle.No matter what degree of help you're given,context clues are your friend.
Generally,context clues can be grouped into four types:
•Definitions (定义)or restatements
•Synonyms (同义词)
•Antonyms or opposites
•Examples or explanations
After examining the context of a passage for clues,you should have at least
a vague (模糊的)idea of what an unknown vocabulary word means.Use your estimate
(估计)to come up with synonyms for the new word,then try these out in the sentence
to see if it still makes sense.If not,keep searching for hints until you've found
something that works.
(1)According to the passage,context clues are
.
A.the skills of guessing new words
B.the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words
学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司
C.additional information that explains the meanings of unknown words
D.the hints that help you understand the meaning of a difficult passage
(2)What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.What context clues mean.
B.Where context clues come from.
C.How we benefit from context clues.
D.Why we are discouraged by context clues.
(3)What can we learn from the passage?
A.Reading is more important than language skills.
B.You will never meet vocabulary questions in the reading tests.
C.Different types of context clues can be found because of different writing
styles.
D.Context clues are only used for working out unfamiliar words.
(4)What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To tell the importance of reading comprehension.
B.To help us know the context clues and use them to solve vocabulary problems.
C.To compare different ways to find out context clues in a text passage.
D.To discuss the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words.
四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。
18.(10 分)The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese
people.Many customs accompany Spring Festival.Some are still followed today,
but others have weakened.
Before the New Year comes,Chinese people completely clean the indoors and
outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes,bedclothes and all their utensils
(用具).Then people begin decorating their cleaned rooms.All the door panels
will be pasted (粘贴) with Spring Festival couplets,highlighting Chinese
calligraphy(书法)with black characters on red paper.The content varies from
house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year.Also,
pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front door to ward off
evil(邪恶)spirits and welcome peace.
The Chinese character "fu"(meaning blessing or happiness) is a must.The
character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down,for in Chinese the
"reveled fu" is homophonic(谐音)with "fu comes",both being pronounced as
''fudaole'' .What's more,two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of
