Question

【题目】Recently, Chongqing Three Gorges University has held an activity named “Cell Phone Ninja”(手 机忍者). They would like their students not to use cell phones for 21 days. It is really a challenge( 挑 战)for most students.

The activity started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet(手环). If the students did not use their cell phones, there would be a photo on the screen of the

bracelet to show that. If they used their cell phones, a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet. After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public Wechat.

More than 800 students wished to take part in this test, and 400 were chosen. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days because some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help people form a habit.

【解析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍近日重庆三峡学院举行了一个叫"手机忍者"活动。他们希望他们的学生不要使用手机21天。对于大多数学生来说这真是一个挑战。根据大学的老师，这一活动不是一个竞争。这取决于学生自己的决定。老师希望他们的学生能通过这样的活动形成更好的学习习惯。

【1】根据第二段第一句"The activity started on April 12．"可知活动开始的时间是4月12日。回答时，可用it代替问句中的主语the activity "Cell Phone Ninja"．根据问句中的did，可知时态应该用一般过去时。故答案为It started on April 12。

【2】根据"More than 800students wished to take part in this test，and 400 were chosen．"可知800多人报名参加，只有400人被选择。所以答案为：400 students。

【3】根据"The test was set for 21days because some scientists believe that 21days is long enough to help form（形成）a habit．"可知这次活动设置为21天，是因为科学家们认为21天是一个足够长的时间去形成一个好习惯。因此21天，能帮助人们养成习惯。所以答案为：To help people form a habit.

【4】根据According to the teachers in the university, the activity was not a competition. It depended on students themselves to make the decision.可知，根据大学老师的说法，这次活动不是一场竞赛。这取决于学生自己做出决定。因此在这次活动中做出决定的是学生本人。因此答案为：Students themselves。

【5】根据After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public Wechat.可知，在每天最后一堂课后，学生们将照片发送到学校的公共聊天室。因此答案为：To the school’s public Wechat.
