Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride,creates an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student.‎ My school is one of many that seem to be shifting to a more formal uniform ——this September I will be wearing a shirt and blazer instead of my old jumper and polo shirt. A number of students have complained about the change, but some people believe that a school uniform can improve learning by reducing distraction (分心), sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment, allowing students to perform better academically(学术上), perhaps most importantly,a uniform means students don’t have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn’t so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies (欺凌)have one less target for their insults(辱骂);it’s hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you’re dressed exactly the same. ‎ In America, where a majority of schools do not have a uniform, roughly 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation(恐吓) by other students. This might not be directly linked to what they’re wearing , but having a uniform can be a safety net for many students who might otherwise suffer from bullying. A uniform gives the impression that rules are strict, perhaps helping maintain a sense of order at school.‎ My uniform might not be what I would wear in my own time, but it gives me a sense of belonging, takes away the pressure of what to wear and stops the bullies. School uniform isn’t fashionable, that’s exactly why I think it should be here to stay.‎ 4. Why does the writer mention American children without uniforms in the passage?[来源:学|科|网]‎ A．To show pity for American kids. ‎ B．To raise the government’s attention.‎ C．To prove the benefits of school uniform. ‎ D．To inform readers of American kids’ uniforms ‎5. What is the writer’s attitude towards school uniforms?‎ A．Disapproving. B．Confused. C．Suspicious. D．Favorable ‎6. Which is the advantage of wearing school uniforms for school kids?‎ A．It sharpens concentration on outdoor tasks.‎ B．It removes the teachers’ financial pressure.‎ C．It satisfies students’ dressing tastes and favorites D．It helps students maintain a sense of order at school.‎ ‎7. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．My Cool School Uniform B．The Point of School Uniform C．The Idea of Dressing Properly D．The Way of Guarding Kid’s Safety C When Emma Yang was 8, her grandmother became increasingly forgetful.Over the next few years,those memory problems caused by early Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默症)worsened. Yang ,who learned to code（编码）at an early age, decided to create an app to help.‎ ‎“I have personal experience with how the disease can affect not only the patient, but also family and friends. When I was about 11 or 12, I got really interested in using technology for social good to help other people around the world,” says Yang, who is now 14. In her app under development, called Timeless, Alzheimer’s patients can scroll through (上下滚动) photos of friends and family, and the app will tell them who the people are and how they’re related to the patient. If a patient doesn’t recognize people in the same room, they can take a picture and the technology will also try to recognize them.‎ The app also includes a simple contacts screen that shows photos of family members along with names. If a patient tries to call a contact repeatedly——something that can sometimes happen because of the disease——the app will show a quick reminder: “ Are you sure you want to call? You just called less than five minutes ago.” A “me” page shows the patient’s own name, age, phone number, and address. The app is still in development, and Yang doesn’t yet have evidence that it will work. But she ‎ is optimistic that it can help,especially if introduced to someone in the early stages of the disease.‎ Katherine Possin, an associate professor at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center, agrees, “It can be hard for somebody who has a lot of memory problems to learn a new technology.” Possin says, “But if somebody is in the early stages of the disease,and if the app is simple enough, it’s possible that they can learn to use it through repetition and practice.” ‎ 8. Why did Emma Yang come up with the ides of creating the app ?‎ A. Because she decided to develop some codes.  ‎ B. Because she suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.‎ C. Because she was inspired by her grandma’s case.‎ D. Because she wished to use technology to help people.‎ ‎9. According to Emma Yang ,what can the app do ?‎ A. Scroll through photos.    B. Make a phone call.‎ C. Contact family members.    D. Remind personal information ‎10. What do we know about the app?‎ A. It works well    B. It is convenient  ‎ C. It is under research.    D. It has good memory.‎ ‎11. What’s Katherine Possin’s attitude to the app?‎ A. Favorable. B.Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Concerned.‎ D When we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again, we overuse some muscles(肌肉). And that overuse can lead to strain and injury. Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports. But exercise professionals say they are now seeing another cause of muscle problems: hand-held technology devices(设备).‎ Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts great tension on your neck and spine(脊椎). Many people who use tech devices also bend their shoulders forward. Experts say this posture (姿势) puts strain on the entire upper body. Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has become such a common condition that it now has a new name:tech-neck.‎ Kimberly Fielding, an exercise teacher in New York City, explains that constantly looking down at our devices creates an unnatural bend in our spine. This can cause nerve pain and other problems. “A lot of curves of the neck can change, so instead of the neck spine going inward, the curve can be a little bit different and it causes nerve (神经)pain and disc herniation (椎间盘突出) and different muscle tension headaches----different things that really can reduce quality of life.”‎ Fielding created a class to directly address the problem of tech-neck. The class uses different exercises to release tension in the upper body and strengthen back and neck muscles. Fielding says these exercises may feel uncomfortable in the beginning because the neck muscles may have become weak.‎ ‎ However, you don’t need to take a class like Fielding’s. you can take simple steps to improve tech-neck. For a quick fix,hold your phone at eye level. At the same time,take breaks from using your technology by standing up and stretching your legs often. Also ,give your eyes a break by closing them throughout the day. ‎ ‎12. What does the underlined word “tech-neck” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. The painful neck caused by electronic devices. ‎ B. The strong neck after technical physical exercises.‎ C. The decoration on the neck with hand-held devices. ‎ D. The cell phone or iPad frequently hung on the neck.‎ ‎13.What we learn from Kimberly Fielding’s findings?‎ A. Muscle tension can lead to spine curving and headaches. ‎ B. Nerve pain and other problems are caused by disc headaches. ‎ C.staring down at your smartphone does great harm to your neck spine. ‎ D. Quality of life depends in large part on the condition of the neck spine.‎ ‎14. Why did Kimberly Fielding start the class? ‎ A. To help those suffering from tech-neck. ‎ B. To introduce her newly invented devices.‎ C. To further study the causes of tech neck.‎ D.To stress the danger of hand-held devices.‎ ‎15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?‎ A. To invite people to attend Fielding’s class.‎ ‎ B.To urge people to keep away from e-products ‎ C.To advise those addicts to exercise their necks.‎ D. To give some practical tips to prevent neck pain.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ A new law came into use in Shanghai on Monday, requiring every individual, families and companies to sort (分类) their trash(垃圾) into different trash cans.
