I remember the first time I suggested screen (屏幕)---free days to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, "What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smart phones "
They laughed, and one of them said, "No way, Mr. White. They would be too much." I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about two hours a day on screens. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents drop-off---they can't use their own "screens” at school.
It's clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits (益处) of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That's why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that needs us to make different plans. For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is "out of date”.
Fun activities, for example, card games and room escape (密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these activities, students socialize (社交) without smart phones and have face-to-face communication. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smart phones.
After our first screen-free day, students said that they were surprised they enjoyed it. While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn't play such an important role in a learner's life.
4. How does the writer lead into the topic
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By giving an example. D. By describing a scene.
5. Why have the teachers come up with the idea of screen-free days
A. Teachers think communicating without screens is also important.
B. It's necessary to keep students away from the screens in the school.
C. No students want to give up the smart phones.
D. Teachers have made plans for students to have fun activities.
6. How do the students feel after the first screen-free day
A. Shocked. B. Upset. C. Pleased. D. Worried.
7. The writer's writing purpose is to __________.
A. show off teaching achievements (成就) B. show his difficult work
C. Advertise (宣传) the screen-free goal D. call on learners to use screens less
C
School uniforms are traditional in Britain. Students at about 90 percent of British middle schools wear uniforms. When every student in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion and they feel that they belong to a group. Some people believe that a school uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork. But some schools in Britain and other countries are starting to drop (终止) the traditional uniforms.
An Australian school has decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will encourage students to take part in more activities. School headmaster Elisabeth Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years. "We decided that in 2018-2019," she said. "The importance is clear: to make young people live happy, healthy lives.”
Ms. Lenders said World Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New Zealanders were not getting enough activity they needed in order to lead a healthy life. As well as the new uniform, she said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for students to take part in physical (身体的) activity every day.
Ms. Lenders said in the past, a uniform was about all looking the same but now it is important for students to be able to choose clothes that they like.
And this Australian school made an online survey (调查) about the uniform change and got great support from parents and students. Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a great move from the school. "These are the challenges (挑战) of our time, and we want young people to think about them," she said. "It is bigger than just throwing out the old uniform. It's about what the role of education is about. And for me it's helping young people to live a happy, healthy and productive life."
8. What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Physical activity. B. Uniform change. C. Happy life. D. Students' health.
9. According to the passage, the uniform change in this Australian school _________.
A. helps students to live a healthy life B. gives students a sense of belonging
C. teaches students to dress fashionably D. helps students to pay attention to study
10. Which of the following changes will the Australian school make besides the uniform
A. Hire more sports teachers. B. Change the school-timetable.
C. Build new sports facilities. D. Reduce the time for schoolwork.
11. According to Ms. Lenders, what is the new idea about school uniforms now
A. They should make all students look the same. B. They should be cheaper than before.
C. Students should have choices in what they wear. D. They should be more traditional and formal.
12. What can we know from the last paragraph

六、阅读短文，回答问题(共4小题；每小题-2分；满分8分).
Schools around the world are different, but they all have an important job: educating children. Let's look at schools in China, Bangladesh, and the Philippines.
In China's big cities, schools are usually large and modern. There are smart boards, and students can learn with new technology (科技). Big libraries are full of books to help students gain more knowledge. In Bangladesh, there are many special boat schools because the heavy rainfall causes the country to have more water than many other places in the world. When the rainy season comes, students need to have classes in the boat schools. In the Philippines, some schools use plastic bottles in a clever way. They build classrooms out of bottles, making classrooms more airy (通风的) and bright. It's a great way to protect the environment.
Whether it's a big school in China, a boat school in Bangladesh, or a creative school in the Philippines, education is super important. It gives children knowledge and helps them achieve (实现) their dreams.
