A

Harper Lee （1926-2016） was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird （published in 1960）, which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.

For decades, the book was Lee's only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in the US schools. In 2007 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions to literature.

Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she suggested that she was working on another story.

In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as adult. Criticism arose that the 89-year-old Lee was not able to agree to the manuscript's release, and that other people had signed on her behalf.

Though Lee moved to New York in 1949, she spent many years guarding her privacy（隐私） in Monroeville, which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.

In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke（中风）, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014.She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. The countless Americans knew her only through her works, and they will undoubtedly miss her.

1. What can be learned about Harper Lee from the first two paragraphs?

A. She was regarded the greatest writer in America.

B. She made great contributions to American literature.

C. She once starred in a film adapted from her own novel.

D. She is the most popular writer in American schools in history.

2. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?

A. She tried to get out of criticism.

B. She wanted to write another novel.

C. She suffered a stroke and was in recovery.

D. She wasn't comfortable with her novel's influence.

3. What can we learn about Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman?

A. It is based on her own life story.

B. It is adapted into a famous film.

C. It won her lots of honors and awards.

D. It continues the story of her earlier novel.

4. What can be used to describe Harper Lee?

A. Influential but simple. B. Ill-tempered but productive.

C. Caring but stubborn. D. Inspiring but struggling.

[2022·江苏泰州中学校考]B

Previous studies of children have found links between use of electronic media and physical health risks. Electronic media use is also associated with social connection. However, comparatively less is known about links with academic performance.

To help clarify these links, Mundy and colleagues studied 1,239 8- to 9-year-olds in Melbourne, Australia. They used a national achievement test data to measure the children's academic performance at baseline and again after two years. They also asked the children's parents to report on their kids' use of electronic media.

The researchers found that watching two or more hours of television per day at the age of 8 or 9 was associated with lower reading performance compared to peers two years later; the difference was equal to losing four months of learning. Using a computer for more than one hour per day was linked to a similar degree of lost numeracy（计算能力）. The analysis showed no links between use of video games and academic performance.

By accounting for baseline academic performance and potentially influencing factors such as mental health difficulties and body mass index （BMI） and controlling for prior media use, the researchers were able to identify television and computer use was associated with poorer academic performance.

These findings could help parents and teachers develop better plans and clinical recommendations for electronic media use in late childhood. Future research could build on these results by examining continued associations in secondary school.

The authors add, “The debate about the effects of modern media on children's learning has never been more important. This is the first large study of electronic media use and learning in primary school children, and results showed heavier users of television and computers had significant declines in reading two years later compared with light users.”

5. What is Mundy's study mainly about?

A. The effect of video games on academic performance.

B. The links between electronic media use and physical health risks.

C. The association between electronic media use and social connection.

D. The relationship between electronic media use and academic performance.

6. How did the researchers make the new discovery?

A. By inferring from previous studies.

B. By referring to the national achievement test data.

C. By analyzing children's mental health difficulties.

D. By comparing academic performances before and after.

7. Which of the following statements may the author agree with?

A. Previous studies are inaccurate and unreliable.

B. Kids' capacity to read declines when they apply e-books.

C. Kids playing video games can perform as well as before academically.

D. Watching TV will have a negative impact on kids merely within two years.

8. What makes the effects of modern media on children's learning a hot issue?

A. Challenges from public health. B. Clinical recommendation on leisure.

C. Parents' concern about future. D. Tight schedules at schools.

参考范文

It is clear that WeChat is becoming increasingly popular in recent years. Many people express themselves, exchange ideas and deliver information by WeChat.

WeChat is a relatively cheap way of communication, which greatly cuts down the cost of making a phone call. WeChat is also to the taste of the majority of people. Furthermore, convenience also accounts for its popularity. However, problems exist meanwhile. Firstly, our identity can be revealed when we use WeChat. As a result, we may be in trouble. Moreover, it may reduce face-to-face interaction.

In my opinion, there is no doubt that WeChat will improve as time goes by.
