D．In a book review.‎ 解析：选B　文章出处题。根据文章内容尤其是Discover an island on the Thames部分中的“Make the most of it with our map here.”和Catch great films in Bristol部分中的“See here for full details.”可知，本文最有可能出现在网站上，故选B。‎ B Recently, I’ve found an increasing number of coffee shops that don’t offer WiFi.I know what they’re trying to do.They want people to talk to each other without being consumed by technology.They want to stress the relational aspect of coffee shops and would rather hear many voices having deep discussions than see keyboards or eyes staring at a cell phone.However, their good intentions are often mistaken by consumers, me included.‎ One snowy day, a friend and I decided that it would be a great idea to go to a local coffee shop and get our work done there.We found a place that had unique coffee flavors and great reviews.It was a bit of a walk from where our subway dropped us off, but we thought it was worth it.‎ We walked through the snow and my feet were almost frostbitten (冻伤的) because the boots I wore were not warm as I had originally assumed.About 10 minutes later, we found the coffee shop and our blue lips were eagerly looking forward to that warm drink.As we walked up to the door, we saw the sign, “No WiFi.” In anger, we looked at each other and said “Starbucks？”‎ Of course, this was a loss for them.They lost our business and the chance to make their relationship building task a reality.People who come to coffee shops to work do come to be on their computers, but they also go there so they can still have human interaction (互动)．They want to work around other people, not in a room by themselves.What’s more, even if the shops don’t have WiFi, people will still use their phones, unless all phone service is blocked out.So my friend and I spent the snowy day working together in the biggest chain coffee shop.We completed our task perfectly and that wasn’t the case in those coffee shops without WiFi.‎ Therefore, there is no need to shut WiFi to customers.With it, the shop will get more people and there’ll be more laughter and better relationships than before.‎ Don’t make us go to Starbucks for our next snowy day.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的切身体会，表达了对咖啡店关闭WiFi的看法。作者认为这样的做法是完全没必要的。‎ ‎4．What is the purpose of many coffee shops’ shutting WiFi?‎ A．To keep people drinking coffee quietly.‎ B．To cut down the unnecessary expense.‎ C．To get people to communicate face to face.‎ D．To prevent people from disturbing others.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段“They want people to talk to each other ...than see keyboards or eyes staring at a cell phone.”可知，许多咖啡店关闭WiFi的目的是让顾客面对面交流。‎ ‎5．What did the author and his friend plan to do on that snowy day?‎ A．Walk back home from work.‎ B．Finish their work at a coffee shop.‎ C．Find a warm place to have a good rest.‎ D．Express their anger to coffee shopkeepers.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段“One snowy day, a friend and I decided that it would be a great idea to go to a local coffee shop and get our work done there.”可知，作者和朋友在那个下雪天想去当地一家咖啡店完成他们的工作。‎ ‎6．The author thinks the coffee shop’s practice is wrong because the shopkeeper .‎ A．failed to block out all phone service B．didn’t communicate with customers　‎ C．didn’t offer computers to customers D．caused inconvenience to customers 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段内容尤其是最后一句“We completed our task perfectly and that wasn’t the case in those coffee shops without WiFi.”可推知，作者认为咖啡店关闭WiFi的做法是错误的，因为店主们这样做给顾客带来了不便。‎ ‎7．What’s the tone of the author’s writing this passage?‎ A．Persuasive. B．Encouraging.‎ C．Teasing. D．Praising.‎ 解析：选A　观点态度题。根据第五段“Therefore, there is no need to shut WiFi to customers.”及最后一段可知，作者通过自己的切身体会表达了自己对咖啡店关闭WiFi的看法。他认为这是完全没有必要的举措。他希望下次下雪时不要再让他们(选择)去星巴克了。由此可以推断，作者写这篇文章的语气是劝说性的。‎ C AT&T started its “It Can Wait” campaign against texting while driving in 2010.They call on all drivers to sign up for a 21Day pledge (保证) — a pledge to not text and drive.Since then, research suggests there has been a connection between the campaign activities and a reduction in crashes.Almost half of the people who have made pledges say they now don’t use their smartphones while driving.‎ However, AT&T has found that even though nearly 99 percent of drivers understand that texting while driving is dangerous, nearly 70 percent do it anyway.Some say they do it because they think they’re better at multitasking than others.Some say they only use their phones at red lights, or they only quickly glance at their phones sometimes.Others say they’re trying to stop, but believe that distracted (注意力不集中的) driving is even “addictive”．‎ Over the years, we have found some effective ways to deal with distracted driving.One is to use userfriendly tools to help drivers resist the urge to glance at their phones while behind the wheel.Countless handsfree devices (装置) and Bluetooth speakers combined with a mobile app will, when active, automatically block incoming notifications sensing that the car is in motion.With the right devices, drivers can stay connected without taking their eyes off the road.‎ The second way is really important.AT&T’s studies found that most smartphone users have a significant amount of their interactions with just five people.They also found that more than 80 percent of drivers said they would immediately stop using their phone while driving if a loved one or someone in their top friends list asked them to.We urge everyone to act on this information.‎ Distracted driving is a bad habit, and bad habits are tough to break.But if we work together — and keep communicating our concerns with the people we love — we can make a difference.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了两种约束不专心驾驶行为的方法，并且分析了司机明知注意力不集中有危险，还去接电话的心理原因，建议人们要与自己所爱的人多沟通，帮助他们摒弃这一陋习。‎ ‎8．What can we infer about the “It Can Wait” campaign?‎ A．It aims to end aggressive driving.‎ B．It provides help for drivers in emergencies.‎ C．It works well in reducing road accidents.‎ D．It makes efforts to improve road conditions.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第一段中的“research suggests there has been a connection ...while driving”可知，“It Can Wait”运动在减少交通事故方面起到了一定的作用。由第一段第一句“AT&T started its ‘It Can Wait’ campaign against texting while driving in 2010.”可知，这项运动旨在减少人们边开车边发短信的做法。‎ ‎9．Distracted driving is still at a high level because of .‎ A．high pressure from daily life B．the side effects of drugs C．lack of strict traffic laws D．drivers’ attitude problems 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第二段中的“Some say they do it because they think they’re better at multitasking than others ...is even ‘addictive’．”可知，AT&T的研究发现，将近70%的人仍然边开车边发短信，他们这样做是因为态度问题。‎ ‎10．How do handsfree devices with an app help drivers?‎ A．By reminding them to call later.‎ B．By preventing the incoming calls.‎ C．By telling callers to leave a message.‎ D．By warning them of the possible danger.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。由第三段中的“combined with a mobile app will, when active, automatically block incoming notifications sensing that the car is in motion”可知，这些工具如果被激活，能自动感应到汽车在行驶，阻止来电通知。‎ ‎11．What suggestion is made to deal with distracted driving in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Use the power of public opinion.‎ B．Educate drivers to learn selfcontrol.‎ C．Communicate more with safe drivers.‎ D．Let people close to drivers remind them.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段中提到的第二种方法可知，大多数司机愿意听从他们所爱的人或关系最亲密的人的建议，故建议利用司机最亲密的人对他的影响来减少不专心驾驶现象。‎ D Shanghai leads the mainland in an international standardized (标准化的) test of English language level, according to the British Council’s white paper on mainland test takers’ IELTS performance.The white paper shows people on Chinese mainland have been making progress in their ability to listen, read, write and speak English in the past five years.‎ People who took the IELTS Academic test showed the least progress in speaking English.The test takers’ total score from the fourpart test is below the world average, with the largest gap in the speaking test.The white paper also showed mixed development of English skills in various areas on the mainland.Shanghai, which achieved respective (分别的) average scores of 5.87 points and 5.95 points in the academic and training tests, led the mainland in the listening, speaking, reading and writing ‎ tests.Shanghai’s universities and high schools also had the best results.‎ Barry O’Sullivan, head of assessment research and development at the British Council, said Shanghai stood out against the other provinces because it is an international city, where students have a better environment and stronger motivation (动力) to learn and use English.The average score of Shanghai test takers in reading is higher than the world average, and their listening and writing scores are equal to the world average.But Shanghai test takers’ speaking score is not so good as the other three.‎ The city’s Fudan University topped other universities on the mainland with the highest average IELTS scores. Fudan students’ reading, listening and writing scores exceeded (超过) the world average but their speaking scores were below it.According to the white paper, all test takers said selfmotivation was the most important factor for them, while those with IELTS scores higher than 7 points thought their high school teachers played an important role.‎ The white paper also found that the English educators on the mainland who had mixed abilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking were weakest in speaking English. Chinese authorities are working to deal with these issues.For example, they have released the Chinese Standards of English which outlines English students’ abilities at nine levels.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。英国文化教育协会发布全球首部中国内地地区雅思考试官方白皮书，上海市雅思考生听说读写能力均居中国内地之首。‎ ‎12．Which kind of ability of the mainland students needs to be improved urgently?‎ A．The ability of listening. B．The ability of speaking.‎ C．The ability of reading. D．The ability of writing.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People who took the IELTS Academic test showed ...with the largest gap in the speaking test.”可知，参加雅思学术考试的人在口语考试中的进步最小。考生在四项考试中的总成绩低于世界平均水平，口语考试与世界平均分的差距最大。由此可知，中国内地考生在口语能力方面急需加强。‎ ‎13．Which of the situations of the IELTS test on the mainland is correct?‎ A．The highest average score of the academic test among all provinces is 5.87 points.‎ B．Test takers in Shanghai have the best scores in the world.‎ C．There is no big gap between Shanghai and other provinces in IELTS test scores.‎ D．Mainland test takers score higher than most countries’ in the world.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Shanghai, which achieved ...and writing tests.”可知，上海市的学术类雅思分数是5.87分，培训类雅思分数是5.95，在听说读写四项考试中领先全国。由此可知，上海市的雅思平均分数是全国最高的，因此5.87分是全国各省中学术类雅思考试的最高的平均分数。‎ ‎14．According to the passage, English skills might be greatly affected by .‎ A．one’s motivation to go abroad B．one’s attitude to the test C．the level of education one receives D．the overall social environment one lives in 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Shanghai stood out against the other provinces ...to learn and use English.”可知，上海市领先于其他省份是因为它是一座国际化都市，那里的学生有更好的语言环境和更强的动力去学习和使用英语。由此可推知，社会环境对于一个人的英语能力有很大影响。‎ ‎15．It can be inferred from the passage that .‎ A．students in Fudan‎ ‎University have the best selfmotivation B．the speaking test is the most difficult one among the four tests in IELTS C．the scores of IELTS are much influenced by high school education D．the level of Chinese students’ English ability is above the world average 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“According to the white paper ...played an important role.”可知，根据白皮书中的信息，所有考生都说自我鼓励对他们来说是最重要的因素，而那些雅思成绩高于7分的考生认为他们的高中老师扮演了很重要的角色。由此可推知，高中教育对雅思成绩影响很大。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 As parents, sometimes it may feel like all your kids do is sit in front of a screen. 16 If we’re realistic, that’s probably not going to happen.But if you keep things properly managed, screen time can be beneficial.‎ ‎•Acknowledge that screens aren’t all bad.‎ ‎ 17 Watching television or playing games on the computer can be fun, entertaining and a good way to relax.There are also many programs, games and apps that are educational and your children will likely have some homework to do on a computer.‎ ‎• 18 ‎ While screens can be beneficial, if your kids spend too much time in front of them they will miss out on other activities.Things like playing outdoors, reading and doing sports are extremely important for balance. Facetoface communication with family and friends teaches valuable social skills — something that can’t be learnt via social media.‎ ‎•Educate yourself.‎ To strike the right screen time balance for your house, start by learning what technology is around, what it’s best used for and for the ages it’s appropriate. 19 Other parents might be able to offer some insight (见解) too.‎ ‎•Set limits for your kids and yourself.‎ It’s a good idea to put some rules in place around screen time.Let your kids know how they are allowed to use screens — what for, when and for how long. 20 They’ll be more receptive to the rules if they’ve had input.Of course, let the screentime limits you set for your kids be a guide for yourself as well.‎ A．Don’t let screens take over.‎ B．Manage your family’s screen time.‎ C．You can do your own research or talk to your kids about it.‎ D．Discuss these rules as a family so your kids can have a say too.‎ E．Children and teenagers can benefit from ageappropriate technology.‎ F．You might even feel like you want to ban screens from your home altogether.‎ G．If you’re eating dinner, set the work emails aside and chat about your day as a family.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在家庭中管理“屏幕时间”的方法。‎ ‎16．选F　根据本空前面的“feel like”可知F项“你甚至会想要在家里禁止一切屏幕设备”符合语境。本空后面一句中的that指代F项中的“ban screens from your home altogether”。‎ ‎17．选E　本段主要介绍了看电视或使用电脑等屏幕设备的好处，再结合小标题“Acknowledge that screens aren’t all bad.”可知，E项“孩子们和青少年可以从适合其年龄段的科技设备中获益”符合语境。‎ ‎18．选A　本段主要介绍了过多地使用屏幕设备的弊端，故用A项“不要被屏幕设备所左右”作小标题最符合本段的主旨。‎ ‎19．选C　根据本段的小标题“Educate yourself.”可知C项“你可以自己作研究或和孩子们谈谈”符合语境，本空与其后面一句“别的父母也可能会提供一些他们的见解”是并列关系。‎ ‎20．选D　根据本空前面的“some rules”和后面的“the rules”可知D项“全家人都来讨论这些规则，这样你的孩子们也有机会发表他们的观点”符合语境。本空后面一句“如果他们参与了制定这些规则，他们会更容易接受”是对该句的解释说明。‎
