“Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.
Simon shook his head, smiling. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much fun. He wanted to be heard rather than listen.
“Listen. And you will learn something.” Mrs. Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.
That evening, his throat really hurt. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out but a croak (低沉沙哑的声音).
Simon’s mother looked at him, “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”
“Can I stay at home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.
When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said “Hello” to him, and he just nodded (点头). When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged (耸肩). By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he’d grown a third eye.
Penny raised her hand, “Mrs. Jacobs, why isn’t Simon talking?”
“He never stops talking,” Richard said worriedly.
Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried, and surprised.
Simon sat in class, bored. He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn’t there, but he couldn’t even do that. In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn’t fun. He decided to try to pay attention.
He could do his homework that night. It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.
The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.
What a difference that one day made!
21. What did Mrs. Jacobs want Simon to do in class?
A. Talk. B. Listen. C. Hold up his hand. D. Stay awake.
22. What was the problem with Simon that day?
A. He got a cough. B. He was late for school.
C. He lost his voice. D. He lost interest in school.
23. Why was almost everyone looking at Simon?
A. Because his eyes looked strange.
B. Because Mrs. Jacobs praised him.
C. Because he talked with nobody.
D. Because Mrs. Jacobs greeted him first.
24. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A Mrs. Jacobs was a very strict teacher.
B. Simon could do his homework in the past.
C. All Simon’s classmates felt happy for his quietness.
D. Simon realized the importance of listening from that day.
25. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Talking in Class B. Losing Voice for One Day
C. A Talkative Boy D. The Importance of Voice
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 24. D 25. B

【导语】本文主要讲爱说话的西蒙突然有一天不能说话了，他在学校安静了一天并开始把注意力放在课堂上，之后他开始认真听讲，不再一直说话。

【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.”可推断，西蒙从那天起就意识到倾听的重要性。故选D。
【25题详解】
最佳标题题。根据中“ ‘Are you listening, Simon?’ Simon’s teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.”结合全文内容，西蒙一开始不听讲，后来失去声音开始听讲，而这一天对于西蒙来说是一个不同寻常的一天，所以B选项最符合，故选B。

Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone? If your answer is yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people can’t live without their phones. They reach for them as soon as they wake up in the morning. They keep checking their apps, such as QQ and WeChat, to get the latest news.
It may be difficult for these people to give up the bad habit, so Google developed an app called Dashboard to help them. This app helps users manage the time they spend on their phones.
First, Dashboard allows the users to look at their phone habits. For example, users can see how many times they have unlocked their phones, how many times they have checked their apps, and how much time they spend on each app each day. Once the users see the information, they will be able to make some changes. They can set a time limit (限制) for how long they can use each app every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. What’s more, Dashboard can help keep the phones silent when users put their phones face down, so they will use the phones less.
If you truly want to make full use of your free time instead of spending hours using your smartphone, this new app is just a good choice. After all, controlling yourself and having a strong will (意志) can help you most.
26. Dashboard may be helpful to people who ________.
A. can’t use apps like WeChat B. know little about smartphones
C. want to use their phones less D. would like to get the latest news
27. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How Dashboard helps people. B. What people’s phone habits are.
C. Why Google developed Dashboard. D. When people should use Dashboard.
28. If people reach the time limit they’ve set for an app, what will happen?
A. Dashboard will keep the phone silent. B. They can’t use the app that same day.
C. Dashboard will set a new time limit. D. Their phone will turn itself off right away.
29. In the writer’s opinion, whether or not people can use the phone less mainly depends on ________.
A. Dashboard B. their phones C. themselves D. their free time
30. What’s the writing purpose of the writer?
A. To encourage us to develop a strong will and control ourselves better.
B. To show us the technology’s influence on our daily life.
C. To remind us to spend less time on the phone.
D. To introduce a new app to control our phone time.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述自从杰克逊太太的丈夫死后，她就一直在他的大房子里独自居住。杰克逊太太听到有人敲门，因为经常听到关于不认识的人们偷东西的故事，有点害怕，所以她没有开门，而是等待。后来她开门发现是新邻居给她的圣诞惊喜。
【36题详解】

How to Make Our Weekends More Meaningful
Life on weekends is an important part of our daily life. How can we make our weekends more meaningful? Here are some of my suggestions.
First of all, the weekend is a great time for family to get together. It’s good to help our parents do some housework. That can help us understand each other better and show our love for them. Secondly, we should spend time developing our interests and hobbies at the weekend. For example, I would like to choose some books to read and communicate with others after reading. Thirdly, we can take part in volunteering activities, like visiting the old people’s home or doing some cleaning in public places. Last but not least, to make ourselves healthier, taking exercise is a good choice.
In short, let’s make good use of our weekends.

“Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.
Simon shook his head, smiling. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much fun. He wanted to be heard rather than listen.
“Listen. And you will learn something.” Mrs. Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.
That evening, his throat really hurt. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out but a croak (低沉沙哑的声音).
Simon’s mother looked at him, “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”
“Can I stay at home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.
When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said “Hello” to him, and he just nodded (点头). When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged (耸肩). By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he’d grown a third eye.
Penny raised her hand, “Mrs. Jacobs, why isn’t Simon talking?”
“He never stops talking,” Richard said worriedly.
Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried, and surprised.
Simon sat in class, bored. He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn’t there, but he couldn’t even do that. In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn’t fun. He decided to try to pay attention.
He could do his homework that night. It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.
The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.
What a difference that one day made!
21. What did Mrs. Jacobs want Simon to do in class?
A. Talk. B. Listen. C. Hold up his hand. D. Stay awake.
22. What was the problem with Simon that day?
A. He got a cough. B. He was late for school.
C. He lost his voice. D. He lost interest in school.
23. Why was almost everyone looking at Simon?
A. Because his eyes looked strange.
B. Because Mrs. Jacobs praised him.
C. Because he talked with nobody.
D. Because Mrs. Jacobs greeted him first.
24. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A Mrs. Jacobs was a very strict teacher.
B. Simon could do his homework in the past.
C. All Simon’s classmates felt happy for his quietness.
D. Simon realized the importance of listening from that day.
25. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Talking in Class B. Losing Voice for One Day
C. A Talkative Boy D. The Importance of Voice
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 24. D 25. B

【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said ‘Hello’ to him, and he just nodded(点头). When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged(耸肩).”可知，老师问候他他点头，朋友们问他昨晚看了什么电视，他只是耸耸肩，大家都看着西蒙是因为他不和任何人说话。故选C。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.”可推断，西蒙从那天起就意识到倾听的重要性。故选D。
【25题详解】
最佳标题题。根据中“ ‘Are you listening, Simon?’ Simon’s teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question.”结合全文内容，西蒙一开始不听讲，后来失去声音开始听讲，而这一天对于西蒙来说是一个不同寻常的一天，所以B选项最符合，故选B。
C
Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone? If your answer is yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people can’t live without their phones. They reach for them as soon as they wake up in the morning. They keep checking their apps, such as QQ and WeChat, to get the latest news.
It may be difficult for these people to give up the bad habit, so Google developed an app called Dashboard to help them. This app helps users manage the time they spend on their phones.
First, Dashboard allows the users to look at their phone habits. For example, users can see how many times they have unlocked their phones, how many times they have checked their apps, and how much time they spend on each app each day. Once the users see the information, they will be able to make some changes. They can set a time limit (限制) for how long they can use each app every day.

How to Make Our Weekends More Meaningful
Life on weekends is an important part of our daily life. How can we make our weekends more meaningful? Here are some of my suggestions.
First of all, the weekend is a great time for family to get together. It’s good to help our parents do some housework. That can help us understand each other better and show our love for them. Secondly, we should spend time developing our interests and hobbies at the weekend. For example, I would like to choose some books to read and communicate with others after reading. Thirdly, we can take part in volunteering activities, like visiting the old people’s home or doing some cleaning in public places. Last but not least, to make ourselves healthier, taking exercise is a good choice.
In short, let’s make good use of our weekends.
