When it comes to internet safety for kids, one important aspect that must be addressed is social media sites.
Social media sites such as Facebook can be a great way for kids to interact with each other. But it’s also important
for parents to be aware of（意识到）the negative effects and dangers of being on such sites.
Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to keep kids safe on social media sites. Think of the Internet as a
Big, Open Space. You wouldn’t drop your child off at a big public place like a mall for the day and expect everyone
he meets to treat him with kindness and protect his best interests, would you? That is a good analogy（类比）for
What happens when a child goes online unsupervised. Be sure to keep a close eye on exactly who your child is
talking to and when.
Be aware of the possibility for bullying（欺负）. While it is probably the case that many children online will
have pleasant interactions with friends and peers, for the most part, the truth is that bullying—both online and off—is
a reality among children. When you have more opportunity for social interaction, you have more opportunity for
rejection or bullying by peers. Keep an eye out for signs that your child may be the one who is bullied, and educate
yourself about bullying in school.
Know about something called facebook depression（抑郁症）. Researchers say looking at Instagram or
Facebook posts of happy events in others’ lives can make some kids with poor self-esteem（自尊）feel even worse.
第4页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司That makes a certain amount of sense when you consider the fact that people tend to post happy news and photos of
themselves at parties on social media sites. Be sure to explain to your child that what he sees on social media sites is
definitely not what a person’s everyday real life is. People are not likely to post news about failures or mistakes or
times when they are not feeling good about themselves. Images of shiny, happy people on such sites tell only a small
pair of the much bigger story.
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Social media sites are very good for kids.
B. Happy events in others’ lives can influence some kids with poor self-esteem.
C. Kids have more opportunities for bullying by peers at school.
D. Happy photos posted on social media sites are people’s real life.
28. The word “unsupervised” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “________”.
A. not to be with B. not under watch and direct
C. not looked for D. not thought and learned
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Learning about Social Media B. Talking about Social Media
C. Helping Your Kid with Social Media D. Keeping Your Kid Safe on Social Media
C
Just like a detective following clues that lead to the perpetrator (罪犯) of a crime, you as a reader must use
context (语境) clues within a text passage to tell the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.Context clues are simply
hints (提示) or additional information the author provides that can help you understand the meaning of a difficult
word or phrase.These clues can be found in the same sentence as the vocabulary word or elsewhere in the passage,
so be on the lookout whenever a new term presents itself.
With reading comprehension (理解) being as important to all aspects of life as it is today, it’s no wonder that
language skills such as vocabulary are emphasized (强调). You will most definitely meet vocabulary questions in
the reading parts of tests, and you’re going to have to use some skills to get you through.
Understanding how various types of context clues work can help you to understand difficult vocabulary
words, even those brand new to you.There may be some words you can’t completely understand in a text, but you
shouldn’t let that discourage you.Inside the passage, where all the interesting clues of vocabulary lie, you can figure
challenging words out.
Context clues are also helpful when you’re trying to work out the main idea of a passage or struggling to make
inferences (推断) about meaning because unknown words can help connect the dots in useful ways.
Every author writes differently, so a number of different types of context clues can be found in reading
第5页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司passages.Some authors offer very little explanation for difficult words, throwing difficult vocabulary into their
writing wherever they can with little or no help, other authors carefully create their passages to make sure readers
follow every step of the way, and most are somewhere in the middle.No matter what degree of help you’re given,
context clues are your friend.
Generally, context clues can be grouped into four types:
•Definitions (定义) or restatements
•Synonyms (同义词)
•Antonyms or opposites
•Examples or explanations
After examining the context of a passage for clues, you should have at least a vague (模糊的) idea of what an
unknown vocabulary word means.Use your estimate (估计) to come up with synonyms for the new word, then try
these out in the sentence to see if it still makes sense. If not, keep searching for hints until you’ve found something
that works.
30. According to the passage, context clues are ________.
A. the skills of guessing new words
B. the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary words
C. additional information that explains the meanings of unknown words
D. the hints that help you understand the meaning of a difficult passage
31. What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What context clues mean. B. Where context clues come from.
C. How we benefit from context clues. D. Why we are discouraged by context clues.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Reading is more important than language skills.
B. You will never meet vocabulary questions in the reading tests.
C. Different types of context clues can be found because of different writing styles.
D. Context clues are only used for working out unfamiliar words.
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell the importance of reading comprehension.
B. To help us know the context clues and use them to solve vocabulary problems.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people. Many customs accompany Spring
Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.
Before the New Year comes, Chinese people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well
as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils (用具). Then people begin decorating their cleaned rooms. All the
door panels will be pasted (粘贴) with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy(书法) with black
characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners’ wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New
Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front door to ward off evil (邪恶) spirits and
welcome peace.
The Chinese character “fu” (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be
pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the “reveled fu” is homophonic(谐音)with “fu comes”, both being
pronounced as ‘‘fudaole’’. What’s more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red
paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious (吉利的)
meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together.
The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded (把……排
除在外), for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively “ji”, a “yu” and a “doufu”, mean auspiciousness,
abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent
years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is important entertainment
for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will slay up to see the New Year in.
Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival. People thought the spluttering
sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big
cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a replacement, some
buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy
firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.
