There seemed to be more than enough ways for her and her three children to be online all day, every day.Ms Margaret worried that her kids were becoming too dependent on the Internet and electronics.Then she began to reread one of her favourite books, Henry Thoreau's Walden, which gave Ms Margaret an idea.Thoreau spent 2 years in a simple cabin without running water, and having to grow his own food.Maybe she and her family could live without such luxuries as computers and electronic devices for a while.Ms Margaret talked with her kids and explained that she wanted the family to try living for 6 months without the Internet, cell phones, TV, and video games.Ms Margaret writes articles for a newspaper in Australia, and had written several books as well.She told her children that if they agreed, she would write a book about their experience and they could go on a trip abroad with the money from sales of the book.Her three children agreed, and “the experiment，” as Ms Margaret called, began.Over the course of the experiment, the Margaret children had different reactions to life without electronics.Before the experiment began, Anni, the eldest of the children, read books more than her younger brother and sister.She therefore had a relatively easy adjustment to the family's new lifestyle.Anni could also use the library's computer for her homework.Bill, who loved to play video games before the experiment began, had to find a way to spend all of his new free time.He started to spend more time practicing his saxophone (萨克斯管)Susan, the youngest child in the family, had the hardest time adjusting to life without electronics.She felt restless for the first weeks and later, influenced by her elder sister, gradually began to find interest in the novel experiences brought by various books.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2请按如下格式作答。The family carried on with the experiment for the 6 months without technology controlling their lives. Ms Margaret wrote the book she had planned. 一、单词拼写1.insight2.decline3.apparent4.crisis5.soldier 6.crop7.outstanding8.structure9.rare二、选词填空1.speak volumes about2.all walks of life3.go about4.in her own right5.is down to三、阅读理解1.C细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“He lived his whole life as a poor man.His art and talent were recognized by almost no one.”可知，凡·高活着的时候没有得到人们的认可。2.D细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes(绘画笔法)”可知，D项正确。3.A推理判断题。因为越来越多的人喜欢凡·高的作品，所以他的作品才得以以高价出售，大获成功。4.C推理判断题。通读全文可知，凡·高在1880年投身于绘画艺术，1890年开枪自杀，由此可推断，他的作品都创作于生命中的最后十年。四、读后续写The family carried on with the experiment for the 6 months without technology controlling their lives.Ms Margaret believes they all came out better for the experience.The children had a lot more interaction with each other and with their mother.Now that they could not text others, they had to actually see each other and talk.Meanwhile, the family played board games together, cooked meals together and read the newspaper together.Bill ended up developing a serious interest in music, and in Susan's cases, she improved her grades in school.Ms Margaret wrote the book she had planned.The book became an immediate hit and aroused great interest among many parents.In her book and in interviews about the book, Ms Margaret describes the pleasant changes that happened in her family and the progress her children have made.She encourages families to set aside special “screenfree days” where families unplug themselves and spend time together, which is exactly what her family have agreed to do after returning from an enjoyable family trip abroad.第9页（共9页）
