never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before.They stared at the map,asking about all the towns,parks,and other landmarks wed visited,and I pointed them out on themap.Digital maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places,but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives.Most of us adults learned to read them out ofnecessity,but its up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious,butwho still will benefit from it.As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic,When kids learn how to create and usepaper maps,they are doing more than just learning how to get around.They are actuallydeveloping a fundamental skill that they will use for the rest of their lives.Map skill still belong in学科网（北京）股份有限公司4todays classroom.As a child,I had National Geographic Maps taped to my bedroom walls.This aroused mycuriosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geographyand history lessons because they were tied to places Id seen.Even now as a mother of four,Ivealso spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.Additionally,in this fast-changing world,unexpected events can rapidly in influence onesusual way of life.When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected,this old-fashioned skillcan get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone.Last but not least,paper maps arousebig picture thinking,showing kids that theres a much bigger world out there and helping to directthem within it.So,now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.24How did the children react when they were given the paper map?AThey showed great curiosity.BThey seemed totally confused.CThey found it less convenient than GPS.DThey refused to read it without hesitation.25What is Trevor Muirs attitude towards teaching paper map skill for kids?ANeutral.BNegative.CDoubtful.DSupportive.26Which of the following will the author agree with?APaper maps are already out of date.BInternet connections are always reliable.CPaper maps provide kids with a grand vision.DGPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.27Which would be the best title for the text?ATime to Teach Kids to Read Paper MapsBHow to Teach Kids to Survive in the WildCHow to Teach Kids to Recognize Strange PlacesDTime to Encourage Kids to Explore a Real WorldCAs one of the biggest:topics of the last decade,sustainability has become the beacon(灯塔)of hope to protect the planet.From supermarkets taking action on plastic packaging to the zerowaste movement that can be practised from your kitchen,changes made by individuals andorganizations across the globe have had an impact on the way we think,shop and live.So what does that mean for the world of technology?Youd be forgiven for thinking that thewords sustainable and technology dont usually go hand in hand.E-waste is,after all,one ofthe planets biggest contributing waste streams.Not only that,but the materials that go intotechnology products are also part of the problem.But with a challenge comes an opportunity,and theres already some brilliant progresshappeninggreat news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our technology.Firstly,renewed products are having its moment.While consumers would previously turn their noses upat the idea of a second-hand device,theres been a huge surge in demand for renewed technologyproducts.The second major step in tackling the problem of e-waste is a change in attitudes fromowning a product to subscribing for one.A subscription for a smartphone might sound like aforeign concept,but its already gaining momentum.At the forefront of this movement is aLondon-based technology startup,which offers a subscription service for the latest smartphones.学科网（北京）股份有限公司5As customers arent paying to own the phone at the end of their contract,the monthly price issignificantly lower than average.Studies show that extending a phones lifespan from one to four years can decrease itsenvironmental impact by about 40%.So the next time it comes to refreshing your device whether a smartphone,laptop,tablet or something else-consider the more environmentallyfriendly options that are at your fingertips.28Whats the purpose of paragraph l?ATo change the way we think,shop and live.BTo introduce the topic of sustainability in technology.CTo tell us what people have done to protect the planet.DTo call on people to do something for the environment.29What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?AHigh-tech products are in short supply.BE-waste contributes to the biggest waste streams.CThe two sustainability problems in technology.DIgnoring sustainable technology is unforgivable.30What is present consumers attitude towards a second-hand device?ASupportive.BUnacceptable.CSympathy.DDoubtful.31How can we become sustainable in technology according to the text?ABy upgrading the old one.BBy subscribing for a smartphone.CBy spending less money on a smartphone.DBy replacing the old one with the latest one.DSuper typhoon Rammasun swept over Hainan,China,destroying at least 23,000 houses andcausing 2 billion dollars in damage.It was not just people who experienced the impact,though.InHainan Bawangling National Nature Reserve,home to the worlds 30 remaining Hainangibbons(长臂猿),landslides tore through sections of the forest.The gibbons,a species living intrees,were forced to jump across a distance of up to 50 feet to get from one area to another.The gibbons sometimes would break their fall only by managing to catch hold of the tip of aparticular palm leaf.As months passed,Bosco Chan at the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden inHong Kong noticed that constant use caused the leaf to wear and bend downward,threatening tolead to the gibbons crashing down and breaking the extremely rare species habitat into differentislands.Its really a matter of concern.Moreover,I didnt know how long the leaf would be ableto hold the gibbons,he said.I thought it was time for us to build something.As recently described in Scientific Reports,Bosco Chan and his colleagues turned toaerial(空中的)bridges.They hired professional tree climbers to confront and get over the steeplandform to fix a simple bridge,consisting of two parallel mountaineering-grade ropes.It took thegibbons over five months to catch on,but once they learned to use the ropes,they started regularlyusing them to make safe,quick crossings.Till now,aerial bridges have been used in other countries to help a diversity of animalsranging from squirrels to capuchin monkeys.But many are small,one-off projects carried out bylocal organizations or even individuals;with little or no scientific study of what does or does notwork.In addition,a solution for one species or habitat may not be applicable to another.32What can be learned about Hainan gibbons?学科网（北京）股份有限公司6AThey are severely endangered.BThey mainly feed on palm leaves.CThey are good at long-distance jumping.DThey suffer a slight reduction in population.33What makes Bosco Chan worried about the gibbons?ATheir weak link with nature.BTheir fear of jumps between trees.CTheir survival affected by typhoons.DTheir habitats likely being damaged.34Which can best explain the underlined word confront in paragraph 3?AMake use of.BGet rid of.CTake down.DDeal with.35Which aspect of aerial bridges does the last paragraph talk about?ATheir importance.BTheir limitations.CTheir potential uses.DTheir long-term effects.第二节（共 5

assigned tasks?36No matter how hard I tried,tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day and it became extremely difficult to stayproductive.In spite of trying all kinds of free and paid to-do apps,nothing helped.That didnt change until I discovered the time management technique called Time Blocking.Since then,I have been able to transform my daily schedule for the better with the help of TimeBlocking.37It is a simple time management technique where you schedule your day such that it is dividedinto time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks.38Imagine thatyou have a dozen or so tasks that you want to finish working on tomorrow.You open your to-doapp of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do,and then plot some importantmeetings and reminders in your calendar app,39The more specific you are about the task,the more focused and productive you will be and thus,more productive.40It not only makes your to-do list more manageable,but also it gives you morecontrol over your day and helps you prioritize your tasks.It also improves your focus and helpsget rid of procrastination(拖延症),as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.ASo what is it exactly?BIs everyone interested in it?CI used to be in the same boat.DThe benefits of Time Blocking are substantial.ELets further explain the concept in another way.FYoull encounter countless questions like these in your life.GYoull need to be very specific about the time and what youre planning to do.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分）分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15
