Anvitha Vijay, nine, has created many educational apps．The young girl from Melbourne, Australia, learned to code(编程) at the age of seven．Only one year later, she was trying her hand at making apps.

“When I first got my iPad, I was interested in all the apps on it,” she said．“It wasn’t long before I wanted to create my own.”

She built her first two apps with her younger sister．Smartkins Animals helps children identify(识别) animals．Smartkins Rainbow Colors teaches kids colors．Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.

Anvitha’s skills gave her an opportunity to attend a big meeting hosted by Apple in San Francisco, California．There, she got some tips from experts and went to workshops to learn about the latest software such as Sketch for app building.

All that training led to an idea for a third app．This one, called GoalsHi, helps kids to practice good habits．Users are rewarded for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practicing the piano．Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker for a job that they do well.

“Kids can set goals with this app and get stars when they achieve them,”she says.“The idea is to encourage kids to achieve one little step a day.”

Anvitha’s goal is to continue creating apps that help kids learn while having fun．But even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’hands．“The more training we get in technology at an early age,” she says, “the better chance we have of becoming a person who will one day change the world.”

1．When did Anvitha Vijay make her first app?

2．Which app can help children identify colours?

3．What did Anvitha do during the meeting hosted by Apple in San Francisco?

4．What kind of app does Anvitha hope to create?

参考答案

一、单项选择  从下列每题所给的选项中，选择一个最佳答案。（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

1．C

【解析】句意：——看那边的那个男孩，他看起来很兴奋。——是的，他在学校英语读写比赛中获得了一等奖。

a是不定冠词，修饰可数名词单数，表示泛指一个…；the是定冠词，修饰名词表示特指。根据句意可知，第一空特指那边的那个男孩，用the；第二空后是序数词，前面应用the。故选C。

2．A

【解析】句意：令我高兴的是，我们不必去银行。玛丽借给我们一些钱。
考查情态动词用法。needn’t不必要；mustn’t禁止；couldn’t不能；wouldn’t将不。根据“Mary has lent us some money.”可知玛丽借钱了，我们就没必要去银行取钱，故选A。

…………
