阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
It's a classroom; but instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are
encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out it's a class full of laughter
and applause(掌声), emotion and energy. Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite
classes at high school.
In drama class we used to play a lot of“ drama games. We would improvise(即兴表
演), mime(模仿) and above all use our imaginations.
My favorite game was called "Spotto". One person stood at the front of the class
and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience
member yelled "Spotto!", the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had
yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情)based on the position
the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the
scene.
Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would
start to leave in reverse(颠倒的)order. The first performer had to have a good memory
to remember all the other scenes.
It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone's imagination to see what they
would come up with.
Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the
semester as well. We would work on a production throughout the semester and put on
a show for our parents and the school community.
It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama
class can help shy children to come out of their shells. It helped me become more
confident and developed my public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place
to express yourself and a way for children to use up some of their energy.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the game "Spotto" as described
in the article?
A. "Spotto" is designed to help drama students write a composition.
B. A performer has to think of a story completely unrelated to that of the performer
before him or her.
C. The first performer in a "Spotto" game doesn’t need a good memory to remember
all the other scenes.
D. Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the "Spotto" game.
2. The underlined word "freeze" in Paragraph 3 probably means_______.
A. stop B.get C. change D. improve
3. We can infer from the article that the author______.
A. Doesn't like to sit quietly in class B. never performed well in the drama games
C. used to be quite a shy student D. used to shine in performances
4. What is the article mainly about?
A. Unforgettable experiences on stage. B. One of the author's favorite high school
courses.
C. How to improve your drama skills. D. A few drama games for fun.

watch it.

C
Long before iPhone , the cigarette was the companion of choice for
restlessness. And long before Facebook and WeChat, it was tobacco that promised
to better your social life. Now, quitting smartphones has become the new quitting
smoking.
Of course, technology does not yellow your teeth, cause disease or lead to
cancer. But some individuals are so concerned that device addiction is damaging
their mental health. In order to reduce their dependence, even in Silicon Valley,
people are turning off the messages that constantly buzz for their attention, banning
smartphones from the bedroom and, curiously, changing the colors on their screens
to a less tempting scale of gray.
The big tech companies will have to work out how to respond to this new
generation of quitters. Facebook is the first to go public with its attempt, hoping its
recent move can make the social network more homely.
Last year the tech industry got a bad name ---Big Tech---with unfortunate echoes of
other industries that have faced fierce opposition, including Big Tobacco. Like
them, the tech industry has to reduce concern from a new generation of activist
shareholders(股东)that are questioning its role in the world.These campaigns are
never as fierce as those faced by Big Tobacco. In the 1990s, socially responsible
investors refused to put money in tobacco stocks.
It is far difficult for investors to challenge Big Tech and hard to separate the good
these companies do in the world-connecting old friends and giving space for people to
share their ideas-from the bad.In the meantime,stopping using technology remains
problematic. In The World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech,
Franklin Foer argues that tech should be seen in a similar way to junk food : a
convenience that some reject for more continuing nutrition.
So we need to do more to turn the tide. In the same way that public service
announcements made smoking around your children taboo (禁忌), we can warn
parents against losing themselves in their smartphones while taking care of kids. We
can also create no-smartphone zones at dinner. Eventually smartphones could be
banned from all public places and help us give our attention to the people around us
instead.
9. How did people keep close relationships with others in the past? ______
A. By smoking. B. By drinking.
C. By phoning D. By dining out.
10. Why is the tech industry called Big Tech? ______
A. It has an unfortunate name. B. It is as big as Big Tobacco.
C. It plays a bad role in the world. D. It is a giant in Silicon Valley.

How to Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated
once a few changes have been made in your mind. __11__Many people lack sleep
constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These
