Three weeks ago, I started a movement. It all began with a usual conversation with my friend Clare one day, where we railed (抱怨) against the terrible situation we found ourselves in.
As mothers of kids on the brink of (在……的边缘) smartphone age, we either give our children right to get something that opens the door to social media filled with bad things, or make them feel alienated for not keeping up with others at their ages.
So, Clare and I decided to start a WhatsApp group named Parents United for a Smartphone Free Childhood to support each other on the lonely road of smartphone refusal, which we felt we had to take for our kids. For two days, it was just the two of us, mostly silent. I posted about our group on Instagram. When I woke up in the morning, the group had already reached its maximum limit (最大限度). So, we then started a second group, but that one also reached its limit soon. We were not alone, far from it.
The groups were pretty disordered, so we encouraged people to start their own regional groups. Before our eyes, 50 were set up across the country. We suggested people start their own school- specific groups, as the real power in reducing children’s pressure lies within their own school and class. Three weeks later, there was a Smartphone Free Childhood WhatsApp community in every county in the UK, and thousands of local school groups within those.
It’s a divisive (有争议的) problem, and one that troubles some parents who have already got their kids smartphones because they want to keep their kid safe on the journey to and from school. But an old phone with only call and text functions (功能) does exactly the same job. We want parents to have this discussion without awkwardness, judgement or division to get together and change the norm, because childhood is too short to spend on a smartphone.
4. What caused the author to start her movement?
A. Small talk with her friend. B. Her child’s addiction to smartphones.
C. A famous speech. D. Her friend’s challenges in life.
5. What does the underlined word “alienated” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Attracted. B. Amazed. C. Separated. D. Prepared.
6. Why did the author suggest starting school-specific groups?
A. Groups can be easily managed this way.
B. Schools play a key role in solving the problem.

C. It can attract more teachers to join in the movement.
D It is necessary for schools to learn about their students.
7. What’s the author’s purpose in starting the movement?
A. To teach children to learn about the harm of smartphones.
B. To make parents buy phones with few functions for their children.
C. To ask schools to take strict measures on children using smartphones.
D. To encourage parents to have an open discussion on kids and smartphones.
C
A small Greek island, Tilos, got the title of a national park and can now make enough energy for itself. Now it has become the world’s first zero-waste island.
The island no longer has any rubbish bins (垃圾箱) and the place where they used to put rubbish (the landfill site) is closed completely. In their place is the Center for Creative Upeycling, where things can either be repaired, reused, or be turned into art supplies or building materials.
They began by setting up an information center so people could learn about how to sort (分类) their waste into three kinds: recyclable (可回收的) materials (paper, plastic, and glass); organic waste (food, fruit, stones and bones); and non-recyclable materials (soiled paper and personal things). Each family was then given its own zero-waste equipment, including boxes for recyclable and non-recyclable waste, a bag for organic waste, and a box for cigarette ends. A smartphone app watched real-time information to show how much had been recycled.
Waste management and recycling measures have been improved, leading to a reduction in plastic and other non-biodegradable (不可生物降解的) waste. This has not only made the island beautiful but also protected its environment and ocean life. As a protected national park, the 63km² island is an important site for falcons, long-legged buzzards and a number of migratory birds that use Tilos as a stopover between Africa and Europe. Any visitors to the island have to take part in the schedule as well. Hotels have special equipment for separating rubbish and tourists can pick up cloth bags for shopping from the Zero Point Information Center.
“In the beginning, it was fun but cost time and energy,” says Fotaras, one of 745 residents (居民). “But we all helped each other until we could do it well. I was amazed how old people welcomed the idea of no rubbish like the good old days— and that gave me hope and courage to do it.”
8 What makes Tilos special according to the text?
A. It has smart rubbish bins. B. It is the smallest island in the world.

C. It has the best energy production system. D. It is the world’s first zero-waste island.
9. What can residents learn from the information center?
A. Their duty to collect waste. B. Methods of grouping their waste.
C. Information on smartphone apps. D. Ways to make zero-waste equipment.
10. What is the benefit of improving waste management on Tilos?
A. It has increased the number of tourists.
B It has made the residents’ lives easier.
C. It has beautified the island and protected its nature.
D. It has cut the cost in running hotels on the island.
11. What may be the residents’ attitude towards the waste management now?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
D
The ancient ritual(仪式的) meaning of Stonehenge is still unknown, but researchers are one step closer to understanding how the famous stone circle was created.
The special stone lying flat at the center of Stonehenge was brought to the site in southern England from near the tip of northeast Scotland, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Nature. It’s not clear whether the 5-meter stone was carried by boat or across land — a journey of more than 740 kilometers. For more than a hundred years, scientists believed that Stonehenge’s central sandstone — long called the “altar stone” — came from much closer Wales. But a study last year by some of the same researchers showed that the stone didn’t match the geology (地质) of Wales’ sandstone formations. The actual source (来源) of the stone remained unknown.
Although the team was not allowed to take the rocks from the site for the study, they studied the minerals (矿物质) in small pieces of rocks that were collected in past digs, some from as far back as the 1840s. They found a match in the sandstone formations of Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, a place that includes parts of the tip of the Scottish peninsula as well as the Orkney Islands. The difficult work of moving the stone such a long way shows a high level of teamwork and cultural connection between these two places of ancient Britain.
Stonehenge was built around 5,000 years ago, with stones forming different circles brought to the site at different times. The placement of stones allows for the sun to rise through a stone “window” during summer solstice. The ancient purpose of the altar stone — which lies flat at the heart of Stonehenge, now under other rocks — remains unknown to us.

Former research has shown cultural connections — such as similarities in pottery (陶器) styles — between the area around Stonehenge and Scotland’ s Orkney Islands. Other stones at Stonehenge came from western Wales. While Britain is full of other Neolithic stone circles, the thing that’s special about Stonehenge is the distance the stones traveled.
12. What is the researchers’ new finding about Stonehenge?
A The ritual meaning Stonehenge has.
B. The place the altar stone came from.
C. The way the famous stone circle was created.
D. The reason why the altar stone was carried to England.
13. How did the researchers study the source of the altar stone?
A. By researching the geology of Wales.
B. By carrying away some rocks from the site.
C. By studying minerals in rock pieces collected in the past.
D. By comparing the stone with other stones in nearby places.
14. What can we learn about Stonehenge from the text?
A. It was built through great teamwork.
B. It still has an important ritual meaning now.
C. The stone lying at the center of it was carried by boat.
D. The circle has remained unchanged since it was created.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Exact Source of the Altar Stone
B. A Journey of More Than 740 Kilometers
C. The Ancient Ritual Meaning of Stonehenge
D. Cultural Connections Between Two Places in Britain
