Texting is a great way to communicate and teenagers are doing just that. New research shows that on average, teens are sending 2,000 text messages a month, and doctors say it’s causing injuries.

13-year-old Bailey Baker keeps using her thumbs, sending text messages to her friends again and again. The past March may have been her best month ever, texting 8,000 times. Now, she says she’s feeling the pain. “Just mainly back and neck problems and thumb numbness,” she says.

Baylor-Garland Dr. Jane Sadler is seeing more and more teens who simply text until it hurts. She says parents, including Bailey’s mom, have no idea how much their kids are texting. “I was thinking she was texting about 25 texts a day,” says Lisa Baker. “Wrong! We’ve uncovered a problem.” It didn’t take Dr. Sadler long to find the problem. She gave Bailey the once-over and learnt that Bailey had developed Texting Teen Tendinitis(肌腱炎)

“A lot of them report pain in their thumbs, back and neck,” says Dr. Sadler. “When we look into it and examine a little bit further, we see texting is the main cause of the problem.” Dr. Sadler says back pain is caused by poor posture while texting. Bailey often texts for up to 2 hours a day; that’s a lot of wear and tear on the thumbs which over time, can break down. Dr. Sadler tells over-texting teens to look into the future. “What I tell them is ‘Hey, you might be normal now, but when you are 40 or 50, you can get arthritis (关节炎).’”

Dr. Sadler recommends limiting texting to 50 a day, and keeping good posture. Dr. Sadler also says touch screens are easier on the thumbs than keyboards and hand exercises are great to build up those muscles, making it easier to text.

1. How many text messages did Bailey Baker send a day on average last month?

A. Less than 226.   B. About 230.        C. About 267.        D. More than 300.

2. Because of texting, Bailey Baker suffers from the following problems EXCEPT ______.

A. back pain          B. neck pain          C. headache           D. thumb numbness

3. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. She gave Bailey Baker a quick examination.

B. She solved Bailey Baker’s problem at once.

C. She gave Bailey Baker a piece of advice.

D. She let Bailey Baker send a text message again.

4. What can we conclude from Paragraph 4?

A. Teenagers won’t get hurt if they stop texting right now.

B. Poor posture while texting is the main cause of injuries.

C. Thumbs won’t ache if teens text for no more than 2 hours a day.

D. Over-texting may have a bad effect on people in the long run.

Poorer children would be offered the chance to attend lessons on Saturday to help catch up with their middle class peers (同龄人), the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, said today. The Conservatives would give English state schools the freedom to choose to have longer teaching hours and extra classes at the weekend, he told the Association of Teachers and Lecturers’ annual conference.?

Gove said the move would help to close the achievement gap with richer children whose parents could afford extras such as tutoring and music lessons.?

He told delegates (代表) in Manchester: “For children who come from homes where parents don’t have the resources to provide additional stretch and cultural experiences, there are benefits in having those children in the learning environment, in school, for longer.”?

“Parents would love to have schools starting earlier in some circumstances, and certainly going on later in the afternoon, given the reality of their working lives,” he said. He held up the example of Kipp (Knowledge is Power Program) schools in the US, which are often based in the poorest communities and open from 7:30 am to 5pm on weekdays, plus Saturdays.?

But it would be up to schools to decide to offer longer hours, Gove added. ?

Parents said Saturday classes could become a “badge of dishonor” if pupils were forced to go, while teachers raised concerns about their workload.?

Margaret Morrissey, of Parents Outloud, said: “I think the suggestion the government made about one-to-one teaching for these kids would be a more preferable way of improving these children’s performance. I’m just not sure whether taking away a child at weekends is actually going to make them cleverer in the week.”?

The ATL’s general secretary, Mary Bousted, said: “If we want Saturday schools, then we need more teachers doing the extra hours, not the same teachers working longer.”?

51. The program is intended for children____________. ?

A. who are from middle-class families?

B. whose parents can’t afford extra help ?

C. who perform poorly academically ?

D. whose weekends are mostly unoccupied

52. “Additional stretch” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_________.?

  A. music lessons

B. physical relaxation ?

  C. entertainment activities?

D. out-of-school improvement

53. Why did Gove mention Kipp schools in the US? ?

A. To make a comparison.?

B. To introduce a new program.?

C. To seek supportive evidence.?

D. To prove his program is better.

54. What is Margaret Morrissey’s opinion about the new program? ?

A. Favorable.          B. Doubtful.           C. Optimistic.         D. Acceptable.

55. Which of the following is true??

A. Teachers may not like the program. ?B. Schools are trying to make profits.?

C. The program is already under way.  D. The program is popular with children.

第二节  书面表达（满分25分）

学完 Module1 Deep South 后，我校高二年级就是否去南极旅游用英语进行了一次大讨论。他们各述其见，有的赞成，有的反对。通过讨论，他们对南极有了更深的认识，同时也大大提高了他们学英语的兴趣，起到了良好的效果。以下是讨论的具体情况：

1． 持赞成观点的同学认为：南极的空气纯净，冰雪美丽，生物稀少，值得一看；人们的生活条件越来越好,有能力去南极旅游；发达国家如美国、日本、俄罗斯等已组织人旅游，我们也应该去。

2． 持反对观点的人们认为：南极是世界上的最后一片净土，人人有责任保护它。如果人们去旅游，肯定会破坏那里的环境，况且交通工具会污染那里的空气，甚至危及那里的动埴物。请根据讨论结果，写一篇短文。

注意：

1．不能逐字翻译讨论结果；

2．注意行文流畅；

3．词数120—150词。
