Question

Two-year-old hero（英雄）Ye Chengfeng saved most of his family from a deadly gas leak(致命的煤气泄漏). As his grandfather lay dead（死的）, the child woke up（叫醒） his grandmother and saved five other family members from death.

More and more British school kids use their mobile phones to cheat(作弊)in exams. They use them to send messages to get the answers. So far this year, 1,013 students were caught cheating with mobile phones. Teachers are now teaching themselves so they can find the cheats. They also ask the students to hand the phones in before exams.

A new study shows that girl chimps(黑猩猩) are faster to use tools(工具)than boys! Experts(专家)found that girl chimps in East Africa use sticks（棍） to dig (挖) in the soil（泥土） two years earlier than boys do. But they don’t know why. Girls watched their moms work, but the boys climbed trees. Yes, human girls always learn to write and draw first, but boys often run and play balls earlier than girls.

In Germany, doctors have three ways to help kids who are addicted (上瘾的)to the Internet. First, learning art — Kids learn painting or singing; Second, doing sports — Kids do swimming or horse riding.

试题分析：短文大意：两岁的英雄叶乘风从一个致命的气体泄漏事故中救了他的大部分家人。越来越多的英国学校的孩子们使用手机在考试中作弊。一项新的研究表明，女孩黑猩猩比男孩更快地使用工具！但他们不知道为什么。在德国，医生来帮助孩子们解决互联网上瘾的三种方式。

1.第一段中As his grandfather lay dead（死的）, the child woke up（叫醒） his grandmother and saved five other family members from death.可知叶乘风救了他的六位家人，所以该选A。

2.第二段中Teachers are now teaching themselves so they can find the cheats.可知老师们在自学发现作弊的方法，所以该选B。

3.第三段中Experts(专家)found that girl chimps in East Africa use sticks（棍） to dig (挖) in the soil（泥土） two years earlier than boys do. But they don’t know why.可知专家并不知道为什么女孩黑猩猩比男孩能更快地使用工具，所以该选D。

4.短文最后一句Doctors want kids to find other ways to have fun rather than（胜于）surf the Internet.可知医生希望找到其他比上网更有乐趣的事，所以该选D。

5.段落大意题。细读短文可知第一段说的是一个小英雄，第二段说的是手机作弊，第三段说的是女孩比男孩学得快，第四段说的是网络疗法，所以该选C。
