Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blan
16、ks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. A comprehensive study of 4, 500 children conducted by the National Institutes of Health in 2018 shows that children who spent more than seven hours a day sta
17、ring at screens showed evidence of premature thinning of their brains cortex-the outer layer that processes sensory information. “We dont know if it _21_ (cause) by the screen time. We dont know yet if its bad thing. It wont be until we follow them over time _22_ we will see if there are outcomes th
18、at are associated with the differences that were seeing in this single snapshot,” Dr. Gaya Dowling. “What we can say is that this is _23_ the brains look like of kids who spend a lot of time on screens. And its not just one pattern.”The problem isnt just screens _24_, but also the way screens tempt
19、kids (and adults) away from something far more important: physical activity. More than 23 percent of adults and 80 percent of adolescents dont get enough physical activity, and according to a 2019 report from the World Health Organization. (WHO), these patterns of activity and rest arise _25_ habits
20、 we develop early in life, “What we really need to do is _26_ (bring) back play for children,” says Dr. Juana Williamson, a WHO specialist in childhood obesity and physical activity, in a statement about new WHO guidelines issued in April 2019. This is about making the shift from sedentary time to p
21、laytime, while _27_ (protect) sleep. Of course, children arent completely to blame for their screen addiction.Sometimes, the parents _28_ complain about the role of screens in family life are just as guilty of spending too much time in front of one. A 2016 study _29_ (conduct) by Common Sense Media
22、found that parents spend up to nine hours a day in front of screens, mostly not for work-related reasons. While 78 percent of parents said they believed they were good screen time role models, the study found a disconnect between their behavior and their perception of their behavior. Parents need to
23、 limit screen time for themselves and especially for their kids- _30_ it means playing the bad guy. Our mental and physical health depends on it.21. _ 22. _ 23. _ 24. _ 25. _ 26. _ 27. _ 28. _ 29. _ 30. _Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

A. committed B. compared C. contact D. delegationE. destructive F. weak G. negotiate H. respelledI. similarity J. superiors K. witnessedSome Very “American” Words Come from ChineseOn a recent program, we told you the stories of Englis
25、h words borrowed from other languages. Today, we will tell you about words that English has taken from Chinese.Many of the Chinese words that are now part of English were borrowed long ago. They are most often from Cantonese or other Chinese languages rather than Mandarin.Lets start with kowtow.kowt
26、owThe English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems _31_. It comes from the Cantonese word kau tau, which means “knock your head.” It refers to the act of kneeling and lowering ones head as a si
27、gn of respect to _32_ such as emperors, elders and leaders. In the case of emperors, the act required the person to touch their head to the ground. In 1793, Britains King George III sent Lord George Macartney and other trade ambassadors to China to _33_ a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to k
28、owtow to the Qianlong Emperor. As the story goes, Lord Macartney refused for his _34_ to do more than bend their knees. He said that was all they were required to do for their own king.It is not surprising, then, that Macartney left China without negotiating the trade agreement. After that, critics
29、used the word kowtow when anyone was too submissive to China. Today, the usage has no connection to China, nor any specific political connection.gung-hoAnother borrowed word that came about through _35_ between two nations is gung-ho. In English, the word gung-ho is an adjective that means extremely
30、 excited about doing something. The Chinese characters “gng” and “h” together mean “work together, cooperate.” The original term gngy hzush means Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. The organizations were established in the 1930s by Westerners in China to promote industrial and economic development.Lt.
31、 Colonel Evans Carlson of the United States Marine3 Corps4 observed these cooperatives while he was in China. He was impressed, saying “. all the soldiers _36_ themselves to one idea and worked together to put that idea over.” He then began using the term gung-ho in the Marine Corps to try to create
32、 the same spirit he had _37_. In 1942, he used the word as a training slogan for the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion during World War II. The men were often called the “Gung Ho Battalion.” From then, the word gung-ho spread as a slogan the Marine Corps. Today, its meaning has no relation to the military
33、.typhoonIn English, a typhoon is a very powerful and _38_ storm that occurs around the China Sea and in the South Pacific. The word history of typhoon had a far less direct path to the English language than gung-ho. And not all historical accounts are the same. But, according to the Merriam-Webster
34、New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were in India and were called “touffons” or “tufans,” The word tufan or al-tufan is Arabic and means violent storm or flood. The English came across this word in India and borrowed it as touffon.Later, when English ships
35、 encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese word tai fung, which means “great wind.” The words _39_ to touffon is only by chance. The modern form of the word typhoon was influenced by the Cantonese but _40_ to make it appear more Greek.31. _ 32. _ 33. _ 34. _ 35. _

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context . When 17-year-old Quattro Musser hangs out with friends, t
37、hey dont drink beer or cruise around in cars with their dates. _41_, they stick to G-rated activities such as rock-climbing or talking about books.They are in good company, according to a new study showing that teenagers are increasingly delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passag
38、e into _42_.The study, published Tuesday in the journal Child Development, found that the percentage of adolescents in the U. S. who have a drivers license, who have tried alcohol, who date, and who work for pay has plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous _43_ in the past decade. The decline
39、s appeared across race, geographic, and socioeconomic lines, and in rural, urban, and suburban areas.To be sure, more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the _44_ have slimmed considerably, Between 1976 and 1979, 86 percent of high school seniors had gone on a date; between 2010
40、 and 2015 only 63 percent People say, Oh, its because teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring, “but theyre _45_ the larger trend,” said Jean Twenge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans. Rather, she said, kids may be less _46_ in acti
41、vities such as dating, driving or getting jobs because in today s society.According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a persons “life strategy” slows down or speeds up depending on his or her _47_, exposure to a “harsh and unpredictable” environment leads to faster development, while a more
42、resource-rich and secure environment has the _48_ effect, the study said. In the first _49_, “Youd have a lot of kids and be in survival mode, start having kids young, expect your kids will have kids young, and expect that there will be more _50_ and fewer resources,” said Twenge, a psychology profe
43、ssor at San Diego State University who is the author of “iGen; Why Todays Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood.A century ago, when life expectancy was lower and college education less prevalent, “the goal back then was
44、 survival, not violin lessons by 5,” Twenge said. In that model a teenage boy might be thinking more _51_ about marriage, and driving a car and working for pay would be important for “establishing mate value based on procurement of resources,” the study said.But America is shifting more toward the _
45、52_ model, and the change is apparent across the socioeconomic spectrum, Twenge said. “Even in families whose parents didnt have a college education. families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully _53_ has really sunk in.” The _54_ of “adult activities” could not be attributed
46、 to more homework or extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurricular as they did in the 1990s ( with the exception of community service, which has risen slightly). Nor could the use of smartphones and the Internet be entirely the _55_, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely available.
