Janel gave her 13-year-old son Jim an iPhone for Christmas. But she also had a contract (契約)about how Jim’s new toy can and can’t be used.
Contract
Rule 1: It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am lending it to you. Aren’t I the greatest?
Rule 2: If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say “hello”, use your manners.
Rule 3: Hand the phone to one of your parents at 7:30p.m. every school night & every weekend night at 9:00 p.m.. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30a.m..
Rule 4: Turn it off, silence it, put it away in public. Especially in a restaurant, at the movies, or while speaking with another people. You are not a rude person, do not allow the iPhone to change that.
Rule 5: Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe. It is not all for you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than it.
Rule 6: Don’t take too many pictures and videos. There is no need to record everything. They will be stored in your memory for ever.
Rule 7: If it falls into the toilet, breaks on the ground, or lose, you should pay for it. You can take care of the baby, and wash dishes to save some money.

解析試題分析：這篇文章講的是一個(gè)叫Janel的媽媽給她兒子吉姆在圣誕節(jié)買了一部手機(jī)，但同時(shí)也制定了一些規(guī)則來(lái)約束，通過(guò)手機(jī)的使用對(duì)吉姆進(jìn)行了教育。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中原句It is my phone. I bought it.（這是我的手機(jī)，是我買的）可知手機(jī)的主人是Janel ，故選C。
【小題2】推理判斷題。在Rule 2和 Rule 4中Janel告訴吉姆如何有禮貌的接電話以及在公共場(chǎng)合怎樣處理電話這樣的問(wèn)題，所以在這兩條規(guī)則中是讓吉姆做一個(gè)有禮貌的人，故選A。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中原句Hand the phone to one of your parents at 7:30p.m. every school night & every weekend night at 9:00 p.m..（在每個(gè)上學(xué)的晚上7:30和周末晚上9:00把手機(jī)交給父母）可知吉姆可以在星期六晚上8:00用手機(jī)，故選A。

Computer games are very popular. It is natural for people to want to win, so playing against a computer or against a friend on the computer can be difficult to stop. “ Just one more game” often turns into another game, then another.
Computer games do have their advantages. They are excellent for training hand-eye coordination(協(xié)調(diào)).Surgeons(外科醫(yī)生)who play computer games as children are often more skilled. Computer games can also be great for teaching students. The students are open to learning while playing. They can study for longer than a teacher would be able to teach. Students can also learn at their own speed and not feel pressure to match classmates.  And with computers you can practise a task as many times as you like. The more you do this, the better you will get, until you can do it perfectly.
But like anything else in life, things should be balanced. Too much time on the computer can hurt your eyes. Regular breaks are needed. If students cannot stop playing computer games, they won’t do as well in other areas in their life---not just school work, but in developing important social skills such as how to talk with people and how to work with others as part of a team. And if they are no longer taking regular exercise, their health will become worse.
Computer games have their place, but people must also remember it is important to have a balanced lifestyle.

Topic
Computer games
 
【小題1】
They  【小題2】 coordinate hands and eyes.
They are great for teaching students as   【小題3】 . Students can study longer without    【小題4】 stressed.  They can repeat a task on the computer   【小題5】  they do it very well.
 
Disadvantages
1. It does great    【小題6】  to eyes if people play computer games too  【小題7】.
2.When students are too   【小題8】  about computer games and can’t stop playing them, it will have a bad    【小題9】 on their health and work
Conclusion
People should achieve a  【小題10】 between computer games and other things in life.

Some students like to translate(翻譯) when they practice speaking English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a conversation, we don’t really have time to translate what we understand. When we use translation, we don’t develop the necessary reflexes (反應(yīng)能力) needed to speak and understand a foreign language. It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation.
Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar.
Relax!
No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English. You will pick up on small details.
Context(上下文) is your friend.
What is context？ It means the situation in which something happens and that helps to understand it. (2)We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context. It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that.
Ask questions what you want to know.
After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票員) spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time. You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you can ask questions about what you want to know, such as, “Did you say…?” and “Would you repeat that more slowly?”. So that you can easily move the communication forward.
Use body language.
Use body language to go with your words when you __(1)___ to learn a __(1)_____ language. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you. As you become more proficient (熟練的) in your second language, you will depend(依靠) more on the language and less on body language. But there is no shame for a beginner.

【小題1】 在(1)處的空白處分別填入一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)脑~使句意完整、上下文通順。
________  __________
【小題2】 將(2)句譯成中文。
_______________________________________________________________________________
【小題3】回答問(wèn)題： What does the writer want us to do first when we speak English?
_______________________________________________________________________________
【小題4】 在文中找出與 Maybe you didn’t hear clearly or understand all of it.意思相同或相近的句子，并將它寫在答題卡上。
_______________________________________________________________________________
【小題5】 在文中找出最能表達(dá)該短文主題的句子，并將它寫在答題紙上。

When you discuss about eating out with your friend, first of all, you must make it clear who will pay for the meal.If somebody suggests having lunch with his friend, he might simply say something like this "I'm afraid it'll have to be some place nearby ,as I have little money." The other person may say. "OK. I'll meet you at  Mcdonald's." This means he has agreed that the two will go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may say "Oh, no. I want to take you for lunch at Johnson's " This means the person is to pay the  bill（帳單）for both of them. Although the other person is pleased with the invitation, there is one reason why he shouldn't accept it by simply saying "Thank you."

On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”
Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隱匿處) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (蔭處) out of the wind and rain.
Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.
【小題1】Why did Leila lie under her car on the stomach?

A．Because she wanted to sleep. 
B．Because she wanted to take photos but was afraid of the animals. 
C．Because it’s easy to see the elephants. 
D．Because it’s very comfortable. 
【小題2】How can photographers take good photos?
A．By making good preparation. 
B．By going into the forest at night. 
C．By walking around the holes.  
D．By going to the nearest lake. 
【小題3】What can we know from the last sentence of the passage?
A．The successful rate of taking wildlife photos is 50% at most. 
B．Photographers who take wildlife photos need more practice. 
C．To take good wildlife photos is not difficult. 
D．It’s hard to take good wildlife photos.
