开学测试卷二

一．阅读理解（共4小题，满分30分）

1．（8分）Think of somebody you really admire.You will probably find that their success didn't come easily.As"Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻）"，Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.

    Wu Mengchao，the "Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery（ 肝胆外科）"，focused on saving people's lives for nearly eighty years.He performed more than 16，000 operations during his life.Holding the surgeon's knife for such a long time deformed his fingers.Wu once said， "It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day."

    In 1969，in order to solve the problem of treating malaria（ 疟疾），Tu Youyou，pharmacologist （药学家） took on the job as head of a research team.She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments.However，the results were disappointing.Instead of giving up，they kept trying.Finally，in 1972，they made it!In 2015，at the age of 85，she received Nobel Prize.

    Thomas Edison，the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success.He once said， "If I find 10，000 ways something won't work，I haven't failed.I am not discouraged，because every wrong try is another step forward."

    Sometimes，their success was a surprise，even to themselves.The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said， "When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September，1928，I certainly didn't plan to revolutionize（ 变革） all medicine by discovering the world's first antibiotic（抗生素）.But I guess that was exactly what I did."

    Some people only became successful after their deaths.Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime，the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend.But he kept painting and he painted more than 2，000 artworks in the following ten years.Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.

    One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.

2．（6分）Though being a parent has never been easy，the Internet hasn't made the job any easier．

    Just how seriously are parents taking their role of monitoring（监控）their children's online behavior？

    A new study from the Digital Future Project finds a sharp difference in parental ways of Internet supervision（监督）.70% of parents say they monitor their kids' online activity while on Facebook and other social media sites.In contrast，30% of parents don't step in kids' online life because they trust their kids，don't know how to use social media sites or don't have time to.

   Such a divide is due to the fact that parents fall in multiple generations with many different types of parenting styles．

    Many parents take a wide range of actions to monitor and police their teen's online behavior．Nearly six﹣in﹣ten parents say they often or sometimes check which websites their teen visits.46% have password to log in their children's social media accounts.In order to combat unsafe websites surfing，some parents even download softwares，such as Spectorsoft，which blocks，records and alerts parents by monitoring kid's Internet use.However，parenting expert Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe，CEO of a parenting website Pediatrics Now.com，advises against using such software as Spectorsoft unless it's a unique situation."You do things because you love your kids and you want to protect them，"she says，"But kids aren't these evil creatures（生物.Not trusting the online world should not be your only consideration." With growing concerns，great efforts have been made globally to ensure Internet safety and quality for youngsters.The US government updated COPPA（the Child Online Privacy Protection Act）to increase protection for children's private information.Europe has not only given people "the right to be forgotten" on social media sites，allowing them to wipe their browsing（浏览）history clean，but has also limited companies' access（进入）to personal information."I like the idea." a user of Pediatrics Now.com says，Kids and teenagers are just experimenting.Until they hurt other people，they should be free to be a kid and learn about life．

    "Despite these efforts，government regulations（规章）are having a hard time keeping up as new websites pop up every day.Therefore，parents still have to step up and recognize they need to be involved in their kids' lives and find that happy medium.They have to stop being so disbelieving and give kids chances and the benefit of the doubt.

（1）What does the study from the Digital Future Project find？ 　   　

A．It is hard to control children's online behavior．

B．Parents are divided on monitoring kids' Internet use．

C．There is a large generation gap between parents and kids．

D．Parents who monitor kids' online activity don't trust their kids．

（2）O'Keeffe advises against using softwares such as Spectorsoft because  　   　．

A．parents need to think more than the danger of Internet

B．children can surf the Internet without parents' help

C．different people have different parenting styles

D．such software is useless in a special situation

（3）The writer probably agrees that  　   　．

A．COPPA is helpful for collecting kids' private information

B．enough space is needed for kids to experience the online life

C．allowing kids to clean webpage records may hide the truth

How to Stay Safe from the Novel Coronavirus

    Preventing and controlling the outbreak of the novel coronavirus （新冠肺炎） is becoming more and more important.Here are some simple precautions（预防措施） to help stay away from the virus.

    The virus can be spread from person to person.The disease has an incubation period（潜伏期）of two weeks.At present，there is no special treatment for the disease caused by 2019﹣nCoV.

    So it is very important to stay away from gatherings.

    Wearing medical masks in a correct way is of use to protect you from the coronavirus.You should wear masks in subways，buses，or in a supermarket.When wearing medical masks，make sure the masks can cover your mouth，nose and lower jaw completely，then compress nose clip so that mask and face are in full contact with each other.

    Wash hands before eating，after toilet，coming home.When washing hands，use running water and soap，with no less than 15 seconds for cleaning hands.If you need to pick up other people's cell phones or use other people's computer keyboards，don't touch your face at once before washing hands.

    If you share meals，do not use your personal chopsticks or spoons to get food from a serving bowl or plate.Place serving spoons in each dish and get what you want from the serving dishes onto your personal plates or bowls，put the serving spoon back to the main dish，and then use your personal chopsticks only to pick food from your personal plate or bowl into your mouth.

    If these simple precautions are taken by everybody in your household，building，office，and school，it will be easy to prevent and control the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
