It took him five days to build it, and now, for the first time in ten years, Smokie has a place to hang the sign “Home Sweet Home”.“I had nowhere to really build it, so I just built it in the street outside of my apartment,” Elvis told Good News Network. “The local LAPD police have been super cool, and have told me they support itas long as we move it to a different spot every 72 hours.”He made this pretty time-lapse(延时的) video showing how he did it.

But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the U.S. capital, Washington D.C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.There is a ban on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的)waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.For many American, a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the - 7 -1950s. To get there, you must read road signs-because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.The observatory(天文台)is one of the largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation(NSF)spends about 8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. “You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices were out fishing and hunting and going to each others houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face-to-face.28. What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank?A. GPS service B. Radio-controlled toysC. Cell phone towers D. Guide posts 29. What is Jonah Bausermans duty in his work?A. Cleaning the telescope once a week. B. Following signals from cell phones. C. Protecting the telescope from being affected. D. Listening for signals from outer space.30. What is the attitude of the local people towards the telescope?A. disapproving B. favorable C. controversial D. indifferent31. What may be the best title for this text?A. A Better Life Without Wireless DevicesB. The Largest Radio Telescope in the WorldC. An American Town Without Wi-Fi and Mobile Phones- 8 -D. Good Relationships Between People in an American TownD DChildren moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the impact of social media, as it is playing an increasingly important role in their lives and exposing them to significant emotional risk, according to a recent report by the Office of the Childrens Commissioner for England.The report shows that many children in year 7 - the first year of secondary school, when almost all students will have a phone and be active on social media - feel under pressure to be constantly connected.They worry about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also concerned about “sharenting” - when parents post pictures of them on social media without their permission and worry that their parents wont listen if they ask them to take pictures down.The report, which was created with data from focus group interviews with 8 to 12-year-olds, says that although most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an estimated 75 percent of 10 to 12-year-olds have a social media account.Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, Id be like, thats pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feeling inferior(差的) to those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “You might compare yourself because youre not very pretty compared to them.”Childrens Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. She wants to see the introduction of compulsory digital literacy and online resilience (适应力) lessons for students in year 6 and 7.“It is also clear that social media companies are still not doing enough to stop under-13s using their platforms in the first place,” Longfield said.- 9 -“Just because a child has learned the safety messages at primary school does not mean they are prepared for all the challenges that social media will present,” Longfield said.“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children are prepared for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies need to take more responsibility,” Longfield said.32. What does this text mainly tell us?A. Children are not entirely able to handle the impact of social media.B. Social media occupies too much time for secondary school freshmen.C. Many secondary school freshmen suffer from social media-related stress.D. An increasing number of children in year 7 are being exposed to social media.33. Some students in year 7 are concerned _ .A. about becoming addicted to social media B. about how they are seen on social media sitesC. that their parents wont allow them to post pictures D. that their parents will monitor their use of social media34.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. their followers B. children of the same age C. their parents D. celebrities they follow35. Anne Longfield suggests that _.A. parents monitor how their children use social mediaB. social media companies set an official age limit of 13C. schools help equip students for the challenges of social media D. social media companies create special sites for children under 13 第二节第二节 七选五七选五（共（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1010 分）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。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。Swim-with-dolphinsSwim-with-dolphins - 10 -Humans have always been fascinated by dolphins and there has been a long history of association between the two. _36_. The “swim-with-dolphins” tourist industry is becoming more popular every year. The chance to see dolphins in the wild is often a lifetime dream for many people and tour operators are always on the lookout to give their tourist swimmers the best experience they can.

However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to t
