When I was young, my mother was very much concerned for my happiness and was always there to support me. We had healthy boundaries (界限). When my own turn came for being a mother, I was determined to do so.
But as my daughter and I sat down to choose courses for the seventh grade, I felt the boundaries begin to fall. Students were allowed three electives (选修课) each term. Several of these were year-long courses—band, orchestra, yearbook and Spanish, and the rest were random (随机的)—technology education, drama, leadership and PE. I hated PE in my own school days.
We read the elective options carefully and sweet relief flooded through me. “You can sign up for band, yearbook and Spanish, and you won’t have to take PE ever,” I told her. I settled back into my chair, a weight taken off my chest. My daughter, however, frowned. “But I’m not sure I want to take Spanish. And I want to do the leadership class... and try drama!”
I broke in on her words with more practical wisdom. “You can’t pick the electives you want, though. They’re organized randomly. So you might get drama and leadership..., or you might get gym class or technology education. You might get the classes you want, and you might not. Is it worth risking having to take PE ” Finally, she chose to take the chance and signed up for band, yearbook and one period of the unknown elective. I reminded myself she was not me.
Watching your child walk into the trap of middle school is worse than experiencing it yourself. Motherhood, after all, is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. I am not going into the seventh grade again. It is my daughter’s turn. She is her own person, and while she is delicate and easily hurt, she is also stronger and more confident than I was.
4. What is the function of paragraph 1
A. To present a fact. B. To provide an example.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
5. Why did the author feel relaxed after reading the elective options
A. Drama was her daughter’s favorite. B. Her daughter followed her advice.
C. There were many year-long courses. D. PE was optional for her daughter.
6. What did the author think of her daughter’s option
A. It seemed organized. B. It was uncertain.
C. It was made at random. D. It sounded reasonable.
7. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph
A. Motherhood is rewarding. B. Mothers should learn to let go.
C. Children should ask for help if necessary. D. Children are too young to make a decision.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was young, my mother was very much concerned for my happiness and was always there to support me. We had healthy boundaries (界限). When my own turn came for being a mother, I was determined to do so.(当我小的时候，我的母亲非常关心我的幸福，总是在那里支持我。我们有健康的界限。当轮到我做母亲的时候，我下定决心要这样做)”可知，作者提到小时妈妈对她的这种关心和支持以及后来作者做妈妈之后的亲子处理方式，引入本文的话题，所以选C。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“You might get the classes you want, and you might not. Is it worth risking having to take PE (你可能会得到你想要的课程，也可能不会。值得冒险去上体育课吗？)”可知，作者认为女儿的选择是冒险的，具有不确定性，所以选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I am not going into the seventh grade again. It is my daughter’s turn. She is her own person, and while she is delicate and easily hurt, she is also stronger and more confident than I was.(我不会再上七年级了。轮到我女儿了。她是她自己的人，虽然她很脆弱，很容易受伤，但她也比我更坚强，更自信)”可知，作为母亲，我们要学会放手，所以选B。

As the greenery returns, West Lake Longjing tea enters its harvesting period. And in one Hangzhou tea garden, huge mechanical arms have taken over the picking of tea leaf buds (芽). The arms belong to a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. After five years of research and development, it has made its first appearance this year. The robot’s creation was driven by a labor shortage, with Zhejiang province facing a shortage of about 400,000 pickers.
“The robot contains an intelligent recognition model that was developed through learning from a large database of tea bud images,” said Professor Chen Jianneng. This allows the robot to automatically recognize tea buds with a success rate of more than 90 percent.
With a pull and a suck (吸), the robotic arm separates the buds from the branches and then puts them into a temporary storage box. Once all the buds in the target area have been collected, the picked buds will be passed from the temporary storage box to the machine’s final collection box.
Although it sounds easy, the harvesting process still faces limitations. According to Chen, factors such as a variety of production areas and weather conditions can affect the machine’s recognition abilities. Wet on tea leaves can cause the buds to stick to the walls of the tube when being sucked into the temporary storage box, leading to blockages. Additionally, the robot is currently limited to working on flat ground and slopes (斜坡) under 15 degrees, but many tea plants are grown on high mountains. These are problems that future models of tea-picking robots will have to overcome.
“We believe that harvesting robots will be a major future trend,” said Wu Chuanyu, leader of the research team. He added that in an optimistic scenario, about five years from now, machines will be available on the market to replace manual (人工) labor in the harvesting of West Lake Longjing tea in flat areas.
8. Why is the tea-picking robot developed
A. To address the labor shortage. B. To improve the quality of tea.
C. To reduce the cost of making tea. D. To speed up the growth of tea buds.
9. What is the tea-picking robot able to do
A. Predict weather conditions. B. Process the tea buds fast.
C. Sort out the tea buds by size. D. Identify the tea buds quite exactly.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Benefits brought by the robot. B. Dangers caused by slopes.
C. Problems with tea picking industry. D. Challenges faced by the robot.
11. What is Wu Chuanyu’s attitude towards the future of the robots
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句话“This allows the robot to automatically recognize tea buds with a success rate of more than 90 percent.(这使得机器人能够自动识别茶芽，成功率超过90%。)”可知，该采茶机器人识别茶芽的成功率能超过90%，由此可推测，这种机器人能够非常精确地识别茶芽，故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段第一句话“Although it sounds easy, the harvesting process still faces limitations.(尽管这听起来很容易，但收获过程仍然面临局限性。)”和最后一句话“These are problems that future models of tea-picking robots will have to overcome.(这些都是未来采茶机器人模型必须克服的问题。)”可知，目前的采茶机器人还面临许多的限制以及问题，所以本段落主要讲述了采茶机器人现在所面临的挑战，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Wu Chuanyu所说的话“We believe that harvesting robots will be a major future trend(我们相信收割机器人将是未来的一大趋势)”以及“He added that in an optimistic scenario, about five years from now, machines will be available on the market to replace manual (人工) labor in the harvesting of West Lake Longjing tea in flat areas.(他补充说，在一个乐观的情况下，大约五年后，市场上将有机器取代人工在平坦地区收割西湖龙井茶。)”可知，他对该种机器人的未来非常乐观，充满自信，故选B。

When we talk about protecting the environment and sustainability, we focus on factories and industries that produce cars, household objects, and materials used in production. However, the carbon footprint of the fast fashion industry is sizeable and should not be overlooked.
Fast fashion has seen quite the rise recently with stores spreading far and wide all over the world. They mass-produce one collection after the other, always on trend, and always encouraging consumers to follow the said trend. However, what about the impact this kind of business model has on the environment
The clothing industry is the second-highest polluter of water. Factories of fast fashion poured poisonous chemicals into clean water supplies because clothing production is a land-and water-intensive industry, responsible for 10% of all carbon release globally. Even after the clothes are produced in factories, they can still affect the environment. For example, polyester (涤纶) can release plastic microfibres into the water system, which contributes to the already existing plastic problem.
The fashion industry is indeed causing great harm to the environment; moreover, the clothes being made are not meant to last. In most cases, the quality is not there, and the clothes are only used a few times before being discarded. Before the rise of fast fashion, clothes were made to last and were not meant to have the high turnover that clothes have.
There are many designers who are committed to mass-producing their clothes in sustainable ways. Some big brands are also trying to make improvements in the materials they use and the mass-producing process, but big efforts are needed if we are going to see a change. What we as consumers can do is shop consciously and consider how the clothes have been made and whether we truly need that piece or not.
12. What can be inferred about fast fashion from the first two paragraphs
A. It stresses offline sales. B. It affects the environment seriously.
C. It is a sustainable industry worldwide. D. It is popular among young consumers.
13. What is the impact of polyester mentioned in paragraph 3
A. It makes clothing last long. B. It reduces carbon footprint.
C. It results in water pollution. D. It lowers the production cost.
14. What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Thrown away. B. Picked up. C. Passed down. D. Turned in.
15. What should consumers do to protect the environment according to the text
A. Support big fashion brands. B. Stop buying long-lasting clothes.
C. Think twice before shopping for clothes. D. Change dressing styles frequently.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了快时尚产业对环境的严重影响，包括水资源污染和碳排放问题，并呼吁消费者有意识地购物，支持可持续发展的服装品牌。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“However, the carbon footprint of the fast fashion industry is sizeable and should not be overlooked. (然而，快时尚产业的碳足迹相当大，不容忽视。)”以及第二段“They mass-produce one collection after the other, always on trend, and always encouraging consumers to follow the said trend. However, what about the impact this kind of business model has on the environment (他们批量生产一个又一个系列，始终紧跟潮流，并始终鼓励消费者追随上述潮流。然而，这种商业模式对环境的影响又如何呢？)”可知，快时尚批量生产一个又一个系列，碳足迹相当大，对环境产生了严重的影响，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For example, polyester can release plastic microfibres into the water system, which contributes to the already existing plastic problem. (例如，涤纶可以将塑料微纤维释放到水系统中，这加剧了已经存在的塑料问题。)”可知，涤纶会将塑料微纤维释放到水系统中，这会加剧现存的塑料污染问题，由此推断涤纶会造成水污染，故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“In most cases, the quality is not there, and the clothes are only used a few times before being discarded. (在大多数情况下，衣服的质量并不好，它们只被穿了几次就discarded。)”可知，有些衣服只穿过几次，这就意味着他们被丢弃了，discard和throw away意思接近，故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“What we as consumers can do is shop consciously and consider how the clothes have been made and whether we truly need that piece or not. (作为消费者，我们可以做的是有意识地购物，并考虑衣服是如何制作的，以及我们是否真的需要那件衣服。)”可知，作为消费者，我们可以做的是有意识地购物，购买衣服时要考虑衣服是如何制作的，以及我们是否真的需要这件衣服，即买衣服之前要三思，故选C。

One of the biggest tech no-no’s that people commonly commit is bringing phones, computers, and more into bed with them. Don’t charge your phone next to your bed, as it will cause you to check for messages or even the time if you wake up during the night. ____20____
A. One of the useful strategies is setting clear boundaries.
B. Try to limit how much time per day you will spend on social media.
C. You need regain control over the time spent on these digital devices.

【答案】responsibility
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：这部电影以智慧和幽默的方式探讨了责任的主题。作介词的宾语，应用名词responsibility，此处表示抽象含义，不可数。故填responsibility。
37. ______ (fortunate), not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Fortunately
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：幸运的是，并不是所有看过电影《大白鲨》的人都害怕鲨鱼。此处为单个副词Fortunately“幸运的是”位于句首作状语修饰后面整个句子，满足句意要求；句首首字母大写。故填Fortunately。
38. Hannah is a model and performance artist____________ (devote) to ocean conservation. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】devoted
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：汉娜是一名致力于海洋保护的模特和行为艺术家。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配：be devoted to意为“致力于”，又本句已有谓语动，故用过去分词作后置定语。故填devoted。
39. When Riley moved to a new city, she had a hard time ______ (adjust) to her new surroundings. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】adjusting
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和非谓语动词。句意：当莱利搬到一个新城市时，她很难适应新环境。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定短语“have a hard time (in) doing sth.”，意为“做某事很难”，空格处应用动名词作宾语，“adjust”意为“适应”，动词词性，动名词形式为“adjusting”。故填adjusting。

【答案】Having seen
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：看过不少哈姆雷特的作品后，我充满了信心——直到京剧来到城里。本句的谓语是was，所以空处应用非谓语动词。see和逻辑主语I之间是主动关系，且表示的动作发生在was之前，所以应用现在分词的完成式，作状语。故填Having seen。
43. The work of the charity ______ (fund) by voluntary donations. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is funded##was funded
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：慈善机构的工作是由自愿捐款资助的。空处在句中充当谓语。主语为The work of the charity，和fund之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态。这里既可表示过去，也可表示现实情况，所以可用一般过去时或一般现在时，且be动词应用was或is。故填is funded或was funded。

【详解】考查代词。句意：现在，我们发现自己处于一个伟大的技术新时代。空处作find的宾语，可用代词宾格us，另外，主语和宾语均指代“我们”，所以也可用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves或us。
45. Pages should not be copied without the ______ (permit) of the publisher. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】permission
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：未经出版商许可，不得复制页面。由空前定冠词the可知，此处为名词形式permission“准许；许可”，为不可数名词，作介词without宾语。故填permission。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The real pain for Emma always started when all the students were gathered on the track, ready to run. It wasn’t the fatigue (疲惫) that she minded but the looks others gave her. Emma was bigger for her age. On the outside, she looked big, but on the inside, she felt as small as a pea. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest.
Not all her classmates made her feel uncomfortable, though. It was mainly a group of girls and boys, bursting out in laughter every now and then, commenting on how Emma jogged.
Just one more year, Emma kept telling herself, “One more year and I’ll have graduated and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.” She just wanted to survive it.
But everything changed when a new girl called Kit joined the class. You couldn’t mistake Kit. She had short, jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a long scar (伤疤) across the left side of her face. Her entrance into the classroom that day was met by dozens of curious eyes.
Although their teacher, Ms. Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal introduction, upon putting her bag down on her desk, Kit rose, saying, “Hi, everyone, nice to meet you, I’m Kit. I love boxing, cartooning and fashion. You might be wondering about the scar on my face. I got it when I was young when I fell off my bike. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt more seriously. It’s now like a cool trademark of all the adventures I had as a kid.”
After Kit’s introduction, Emma simply sat there, her heart pounding and mouth wide open. How could someone who looked so different from the others be so confident Even the popular kids were sitting there in shock.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为120左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At lunchtime, Emma sat at her usual table when Kit walked over to her.

On Friday, Emma’s feared PE class came.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考答案
At lunchtime, Emma sat at her usual table when Kit walked over to her. “Mind if I join ” Kit asked politely, her bright smile lighting up the room. Emma was surprised, hardly believing such a confident girl would sit with her. As their conversation progressed, Emma was starting to share what was bothering her — her struggles with her lack of self-confidence. Kit listened attentively, saying words of encouragement now and then. Kit brought sunshine into her life.
On Friday, Emma’s feared PE class came. But this time, Kit was jogging with her. Emma wasn’t surprised to see the popular kids laughing at her as usual. “Take it easy. Just be yourself.” Kit said. Again, a wave of warmth washed over Emma. Relaxed and comfortable, she jogged together with Kit. This time Emma looked big not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Emma体型很大，在慢跑的时候总是受到同学们的嘲笑，为此她非常不自信。后来班上来了一位叫Kit的女孩，她脸上有道疤，但她却非常自信，这让Emma很佩服。午餐时间Kit坐到Emma旁边，倾听Emma倾诉自己的苦恼，并鼓励Emma。后来在体育课上，Emma在Kit的鼓励下，勇敢地慢跑，她对自己有了自信。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
①由续写第一段首句“午餐时间，Emma坐在她平常坐的桌子旁，这是Kit走到Emma身边。”可知，第一段可以描写Kit和Emma坐在一起吃午饭，Emma倾诉自己的苦恼，Kit认真聆听并鼓励她。
②由续写第二段首句“星期五，Emma害怕的体育课来了。”可知，第二段可以描写Emma在Kit的鼓励下勇敢慢跑，增加了自信。
2. 段落续写：Kit主动坐到Emma身边——Emma分享自己的苦恼——Kit认真聆听并鼓励Emma——体育课上Kit和Emma一起慢跑——在Kit的鼓励下Emma增加了自信
3. 词汇激活：
行为类
①询问：ask/enquire
②开始：start/commence
③嘲笑：laugh at/mock at/make fun of
情绪类
①惊讶的：surprised/amazed
②使烦恼：bother/trouble
③轻松的：relaxed/light-hearted
【点睛】【高分句型1】Emma was surprised, hardly believing such a confident girl would sit with her. (使用了现在分词作状语、省略that的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】As their conversation progressed, Emma was starting to share what was bothering her — her struggles with her lack of self-confidence. (使用了As引导时间状语从句、what引导宾语从句)

When I was young, my mother was very much concerned for my happiness and was always there to support me. We had healthy boundaries (界限). When my own turn came for being a mother, I was determined to do so.
But as my daughter and I sat down to choose courses for the seventh grade, I felt the boundaries begin to fall. Students were allowed three electives (选修课) each term. Several of these were year-long courses—band, orchestra, yearbook and Spanish, and the rest were random (随机的)—technology education, drama, leadership and PE. I hated PE in my own school days.
We read the elective options carefully and sweet relief flooded through me. “You can sign up for band, yearbook and Spanish, and you won’t have to take PE ever,” I told her. I settled back into my chair, a weight taken off my chest. My daughter, however, frowned. “But I’m not sure I want to take Spanish. And I want to do the leadership class... and try drama!”
I broke in on her words with more practical wisdom. “You can’t pick the electives you want, though. They’re organized randomly. So you might get drama and leadership..., or you might get gym class or technology education. You might get the classes you want, and you might not. Is it worth risking having to take PE ” Finally, she chose to take the chance and signed up for band, yearbook and one period of the unknown elective. I reminded myself she was not me.
Watching your child walk into the trap of middle school is worse than experiencing it yourself. Motherhood, after all, is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. I am not going into the seventh grade again. It is my daughter’s turn. She is her own person, and while she is delicate and easily hurt, she is also stronger and more confident than I was.
4. What is the function of paragraph 1
A. To present a fact. B. To provide an example.
C To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
5. Why did the author feel relaxed after reading the elective options
A. Drama was her daughter’s favorite. B. Her daughter followed her advice.
C. There were many year-long courses. D. PE was optional for her daughter.
6. What did the author think of her daughter’s option
A. It seemed organized. B. It was uncertain.
C. It was made at random. D. It sounded reasonable.
7. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph
A. Motherhood is rewarding. B. Mothers should learn to let go.
C. Children should ask for help if necessary. D. Children are too young to make a decision.
C
As the greenery returns, West Lake Longjing tea enters its harvesting period. And in one Hangzhou tea garden, huge mechanical arms have taken over the picking of tea leaf buds (芽). The arms belong to a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. After five years of research and development, it has made its first appearance this year. The robot’s creation was driven by a labor shortage, with Zhejiang province facing a shortage of about 400,000 pickers.
“The robot contains an intelligent recognition model that was developed through learning from a large database of tea bud images,” said Professor Chen Jianneng. This allows the robot to automatically recognize tea buds with a success rate of more than 90 percent.
With a pull and a suck (吸), the robotic arm separates the buds from the branches and then puts them into a temporary storage box. Once all the buds in the target area have been collected, the picked buds will be passed from the temporary storage box to the machine’s final collection box.
Although it sounds easy, the harvesting process still faces limitations. According to Chen, factors such as a variety of production areas and weather conditions can affect the machine’s recognition abilities. Wet on tea leaves can cause the buds to stick to the walls of the tube when being sucked into the temporary storage box, leading to blockages. Additionally, the robot is currently limited to working on flat ground and slopes (斜坡) under 15 degrees, but many tea plants are grown on high mountains. These are problems that future models of tea-picking robots will have to overcome.
“We believe that harvesting robots will be a major future trend,” said Wu Chuanyu, leader of the research team. He added that in an optimistic scenario, about five years from now, machines will be available on the market to replace manual (人工) labor in the harvesting of West Lake Longjing tea in flat areas.
8. Why is the tea-picking robot developed
A. To address the labor shortage. B. To improve the quality of tea.
C. To reduce the cost of making tea. D. To speed up the growth of tea buds.
9. What is the tea-picking robot able to do
A Predict weather conditions. B. Process the tea buds fast.
C. Sort out the tea buds by size. D. Identify the tea buds quite exactly.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Benefits brought by the robot. B. Dangers caused by slopes.
C. Problems with tea picking industry. D. Challenges faced by the robot.
11. What is Wu Chuanyu’s attitude towards the future of the robots
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
D
When we talk about protecting the environment and sustainability, we focus on factories and industries that produce cars, household objects, and materials used in production. However, the carbon footprint of the fast fashion industry is sizeable and should not be overlooked.
Fast fashion has seen quite the rise recently, with stores spreading far and wide all over the world. They mass-produce one collection after the other, always on trend, and always encouraging consumers to follow the said trend. However, what about the impact this kind of business model has on the environment
The clothing industry is the second-highest polluter of water. Factories of fast fashion poured poisonous chemicals into clean water supplies because clothing production is a land-and water-intensive industry, responsible for 10% of all carbon release globally. Even after the clothes are produced in factories, they can still affect the environment. For example, polyester (涤纶) can release plastic microfibres into the water system, which contributes to the already existing plastic problem.
The fashion industry is indeed causing great harm to the environment; moreover, the clothes being made are not meant to last. In most cases, the quality is not there, and the clothes are only used a few times before being discarded. Before the rise of fast fashion, clothes were made to last and were not meant to have the high turnover that clothes have.
There are many designers who are committed to mass-producing their clothes in sustainable ways. Some big brands are also trying to make improvements in the materials they use and the mass-producing process, but big efforts are needed if we are going to see a change. What we as consumers can do is shop consciously and consider how the clothes have been made and whether we truly need that piece or not.
12. What can be inferred about fast fashion from the first two paragraphs
A. It stresses offline sales. B. It affects the environment seriously.
C. It is a sustainable industry worldwide. D. It is popular among young consumers.
13. What is the impact of polyester mentioned in paragraph 3
A. It makes clothing last long. B. It reduces carbon footprint.
C. It results in water pollution. D. It lowers the production cost.
14. What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Thrown away. B. Picked up. C. Passed down. D. Turned in.
15. What should consumers do to protect the environment according to the text
A. Support big fashion brands. B. Stop buying long-lasting clothes.
C. Think twice before shopping for clothes. D. Change dressing styles frequently.

If possible, try and schedule phone calls with distant loved ones and make face-to-face catch-up with closer relatives. “In-person meetings provide a sense of connection and empathy that is difficult to replace via video,” Paul Axtell, corporate trainer and author of the book Meetings Matter, told The Washington Post.
Keeping up to date on your social media channels is fun and socially very important for many users. But these channels can also be a big time waster for many people. ____18____ The next step is to gradually reduce this, particularly on days when screen usage is high for other reasons.
If you live with someone else, you can try to take on your screen time together. Establish certain areas in your home, or time periods in the day, where you both agree to stay off of your phone. ____19____ Consider doing some hobbies together, like cooking dinner or playing a board game.
One of the biggest tech no-no’s that people commonly commit is bringing phones, computers, and more into bed with them. Don’t charge your phone next to your bed, as it will cause you to check for messages or even the time if you wake up during the night. ____20____
A. One of the useful strategies is setting clear boundaries.
B. Try to limit how much time per day you will spend on social media.
C. You need regain control over the time spent on these digital devices.
D. Many of our online time-killing activities also add to the screen time.
E. Looking at the phone’s screen just before bed can affect your sleep too.
F. During that time, you can enjoy some face-to-face communication instead.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The real pain for Emma always started when all the students were gathered on the track, ready to run. It wasn’t the fatigue (疲惫) that she minded but the looks others gave her. Emma was bigger for her age. On the outside, she looked big, but on the inside, she felt as small as a pea. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest.
Not all her classmates made her feel uncomfortable, though. It was mainly a group of girls and boys, bursting out in laughter every now and then, commenting on how Emma jogged.
Just one more year, Emma kept telling herself, “One more year and I’ll have graduated and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.” She just wanted to survive it.
But everything changed when a new girl called Kit joined the class. You couldn’t mistake Kit. She had short, jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a long scar (伤疤) across the left side of her face. Her entrance into the classroom that day was met by dozens of curious eyes.
Although their teacher, Ms. Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal introduction, upon putting her bag down on her desk, Kit rose, saying, “Hi, everyone, nice to meet you, I’m Kit. I love boxing, cartooning and fashion. You might be wondering about the scar on my face. I got it when I was young when I fell off my bike. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt more seriously. It’s now like a cool trademark of all the adventures I had as a kid.”
After Kit’s introduction, Emma simply sat there, her heart pounding and mouth wide open. How could someone who looked so different from the others be so confident Even the popular kids were sitting there in shock.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为120左右；

At lunchtime, Emma sat at her usual table when Kit walked over to her.
