　　第I卷（选择题）
　　一、阅读理解
　　Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea
　　The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very foggy (多雾的), so you may not be able to enjoy the views!
　　U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
　　This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it’s certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!
　　The Trift Bridge, Switzerland
　　At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you’d better do it quickly!
　　The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
　　In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It’s one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school ——imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙)between them. Step carefully!

　　Anjali Mishra is a rising junior at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. At 17, she is president and founder of her school’s UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) USA club, and a member of UNICEF’s national council (委员会). She also volunteers her time in different communities.
　　How did Anjali develop such a passion (热情) for helping others? When she was a freshman, she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude. She was invited to a cousin’s wedding in India.
　　“My mom kind of forced me to go,” Anjali says. “When I saw children on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child. I was able to get whatever I wanted, and my every need was satisfied.”
　　Anjali asked herself: “What can I do to help? UNICEF stood out to me because it’s always on the front lines helping children in need.”
　　After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the community responded actively. She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF’s national council.
　　“UNICEF really liked my work,” she says. “Out of 3,000 applicants, they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them.”
　　As a member of the council, Anjali helps organize high school UNICEF clubs around the country and provide resources so that the clubs can manage themselves.
　　The teen also founded an organization called “Activists United.” Members educate people on the dangers of guns. Anjali encourages other kids to start local clubs and organizations, too. “It takes a lot of effort, but you can get it done if you’re passionate,” she says.
　　4．Why did Anjali go to India?
　　A． To be a volunteer.    B． To see her mother.
　　C． To spend a holiday.    D． To attend a wedding.
　　5．What has led Anjali to set up the UNICEF USA club?
　　A． Her mother’s suggestion.    B． Her volunteer experience.
　　C． The situation faced by poor children.    D． The encouragement from her cousin.
　　6．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
　　A． 3,000 applicants.    B． UNICEF officers.
　　C． 6 high school students.    D． Founders of UNICEF’s national council.
　　7．What does the organization “Activists United” do?
　　A． It educates people on gun safety.    B． It raises money for children in need.

　　Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned (禁止) at school for all children under 15 in France. Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.
　　“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worry me as a parent.”
　　There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.
　　McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.
　　McKinnon students still have a Chromeboose in every class for day-to-day learning but they’re not allowed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨) ,” but now they’re seeing the advantages. “They come to school and they’re not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.
　　“It’s been wonderful in terms of students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” she said.
　　Ms Binnion also leads by example and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”
　　Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in
