26、 Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned at school for all children under 15 in France. Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.
“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worries me as a parent.”
There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones. McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success. McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they're not allowed to use social media. Ms. Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨),” but now they’re seeing the positives (优势). “They come to school and they’re not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.
“It’s been wonderful as for students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” Ms. Binnion said. She also leads by example and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”
Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr. Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in. “A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2020 state-of-play.”
【1】Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?
A.Teachers find it hard to control kids.
B.Kids behave badly nowadays.
C.School is for studying.
D.Her kids depend too much on phones.
【2】What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?
A.Students can now see the good of the ban.
B.Some teachers were against it at first.
C.Students can use their phones at lunch breaks.
D.Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.
【3】What does Dr. Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?
A.It will disconnect parents and kids.
B.It will cause kids to communicate less.
C.It will make education go back 60 years.
D.It will prevent kids being tech-minded.
27、The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt. She was Myrtle C.
Manigault, the wife of my mother's brother Bill. She taught me in second gradeat all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn't dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre-not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favourite niece". Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
【1】Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A．She lent her some serious classics.
B．She cultivated her taste for music.
C．She discovered her talent for dancing.
D．She introduced her to adult plays.
【2】What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A．A book of great fun.
B．A writer of high fame.
C．A serious masterpiece.
D．A heartbreaking play.
【3】Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ________.
A．develop her capabilities for writing
B．give her a chance to collect material
C．involve her in teenage social activities
D．offer her a series of writing jobs
【4】We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who________.
A．trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B．gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C．emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils
D．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning
28、When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.
I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.
Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.
After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.

B．She received a call from her father every Sunday morning.
C．Her father bought her a house.

【3】Why did the author fail to have a talk with her father four years ago?
A．Because her father was busy putting up a swing for her daughter.
B．Because she had got tired of talking with him.
C．Because she was busy planning a trip.
D．Because her father often forgot what they had once talked about.

29、The secret to work-life balance will differ depending on your field of work, family structure and finances. 【1】 Understanding the work-life truths will help you find your own work-life balance — and then keep it. Let’s get started!
Look inside yourself.
The first step to finding work-life balance is to look inside yourself and admit the mixed feelings you may have about working or being a mother or the other roles that are influencing your schedule. 【2】 Now’s the time to let go of those bad feelings — and perhaps also the people who bring out those feelings in you.
【3】
The next important stage of work-life balance is to be honest when looking at your employment situation. Are you in a field where work-life is discounted as impossible? Does your employer have unrealistic demands? It might be smart to explore working elsewhere, move to a more family-friendly employer or simply negotiate a better schedule.
Let go and say no.
You must prioritize to be successful as a working parent. 【4】 So instead, pick out the most important tasks for you to do, choose someone to do some other things and let the rest go. Your children will survive their childhood without homemade cupcakes for every birthday or a hot lunch sent to school every day.
【5】
Possibly the most important thing of work-life balance is to make the most of the time that you do have with your family and friends. Don’t waste those valuable moments feeling guilty or worrying about work projects that you can’t control. Live every moment to the fullest!
A．Enjoy your life.
B．Rethink your work situation.
C．Make the most of your job.
D．Are you filled with guilt or self-pity?
E．Be honest about your schedule.
F．But some work-life balance principles are universal.
G．There simply isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.
Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of American literature”.
