阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。
A lark (云雀) made her nest (鸟巢) in a field of young wheat (小麦). In this nest were three baby larks. The
mother had to fly away every day to get them 1 . All around them the wheat grew tall and began to ripen
(成熟).
One day, a farmer and his son came to the 2 . The farmer said, “This wheat is ripe. We must ask
someone to help us 3 it.”
Hearing what they said, the larks were in great 4 because they were afraid of losing their home.
When their mother got back to the nest, they at once told her what they had heard.
“We must 5 at once!” said the young larks. “Or the men will come and kill us.”
“There is no need to 6 now, my children,” said the mother. “We are quite safe at present. The man
who waits for others to help him with his 7 is not to be feared. But when they come again, listen and tell
me what they say.”
A few days later, the farmer found that the wheat was so ripe. He said to his son, “ 8 this wheat is not
cut at once, we will lose half of them. We can’t afford to wait any longer for help from others. Tomorrow we must
start to work, ourselves.”
When the young larks told their mother what they had heard that day, she said, “Ah! It’s 9 for us to
leave now. When a man decides to do his own work and not to 10 anyone else, then it is sure to be
done.”
By this time the little larks could fly, so the next day, they flew away to a new home.

Students looking for a coffee break will finally find one this year. At Mason

Cafe sells drinks like lattes, tea and of course, coffee. It has its own logo, T-shirts
and other products. But it is more than just a place to get a quick drink or snack—

I remember the first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I
said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smart phones?”
They laughed, and one of them said, “No way, Mr. White. They would be too much.” I could feel their worry,
and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of
my students start their day by checking their smart phones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting
off the bus or at parents drop-off—they can’t use their own “screens” at school. They usually work on computers at
school for at least two hours during the day.
It’s clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we
teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their
screens. That’s why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans
for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without “screens”.
For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is
“out of date”. Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities, for example, card games and room escape(密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these
activities, students socialize without smart phones and have face-to-face communication without checking on
“likes” they’ve got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of
their friends with no smart phones.After our first screen-free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to
help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn’t play such an important role in a learner’s life.
16．Why did the student leaders laugh when the writer suggested screen-free days?
A．They were interested in the screen-free days.
B．They thought the suggestion was unacceptable.
C．The writer’s haircut was funny.
D．The writer did too much for them.
17．How many hours do most students in this school spend on screens every day?
A．0 hours. B．2 hours.
C．6 hours. D．8 hours.
18．Why have the teachers come up with the idea of screen-free days?
A．Teachers think communicating without screens is also important.
B．It’s necessary to keep students away from the screens in the school.
C．No students want to give up the smart phones.
D．Teachers have made plans for students to have fun activities.
19．How do the students feel after the first screen-free day?
A．Shocked. B．Upset.
C．Pleased. D．Worried.
20．The writer’s writing purpose is to ________.
A．celebrate teaching achievements
B．show his difficult work
C．advertise screen-free goal
D．call on learners to use screens less
C
