句意:那个人取下一只金表,这只表的指针是由小的钻石做的。

本题定语从句的先行词是a small gold watch,在定语从句中which指代先行词作为介词of的宾语,所以空处需用the hands of which引导非限制性定语从句;关系词whom的先行词只能是人,D项的位置错误。

VocabularyDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In recent weeks, many parents have realized the difficult truth about school this fall because of COVID-19. Hoping for a better 21 , parents around U.S. have started organizing “pandemic (流行病) pods”, or home schooling pods, for the fall, in which groups of 3 to 10 students learn together in homes under the guidance of the children’s parents or a hired teacher.For parents who can organize and 22 them, pods seem like an easy choice. “I don’t believe that the online courses for that age group are 23 . Kids at this age really need that multimodal sensory learning (多模式感官学习).” one parent said.These pods could 24 families with a schooling choice that feels safe—yet also allows kids to have fun and build social skills. However, it also has unavoidable shortcomings.Depending on how the pods are set up, they may offer parents break. But given that pods can be 25 , complicated to organize and self-selecting, it is possible that they are most popular among wealthy families, experts say, and may 26 educational inequality.Another 27 about pods is that families may not know how to minimize Covid risks. Pods shouldn’t have more than five kids 28 , said Saskia Popescu, an infection prevention expert. When you add together the teacher and all of the kids’ family members, a seemingly small pod ends up including dozens of people, and themore people in it, the greater the 29 for coronavirus exposure(接触). Furthermore, families in learning pods shouldn’t socialize with people outside the pod unless they wear masks and 30 socially distant, Dr. Popescu said. Pods should have clear rules on wearing masks and washing hands.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Should you listen to music when you work?Do you like to listen to music when you work?Ask this question at a party, and you’ll probably get 31 responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting (分散注意力的) and cannot work 32 with music playing in the background.Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just 33 on what sort of work you’re doing.In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) 34 task-searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a”and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and 35 word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, 36 others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was cither loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings 37 from our study.We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to 38 music performed best on the easy task On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.How should we 39 these findings?We suggest that people have limited mental resources from which both 40 and tasks can draw. We can become 41 and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and 42 when these resources are used up.Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less 43 during easier tasks, there’s a greater risk of drifting off. Music might give us the extra 44 we need to overcome the monotony(单调). However, difficult tasks already demand lot of our resources. Listening to music can become too much.So best 45 should appear when we strike “sweet spot,” which may depend on the type of music and the type of task.31. A. fixed B. similar C. various D. positive32. A. effectively B. immediately C. exactly D. happily33. A. depends B. focuses C. carries D. takes34. A. unpleasant B. familiar C. impossible D. easy35. A. matching B. realizing C. suggesting D. creating36. A. until B. while C. since D. when37. A. faded B. appeared C. survived D. responded38. A. dull B. reliable C. necessary D. complex39. A. make up for B. make out C. make use of D. make up40. A. music B. work C. study D. culture41. A. surprised B. bored C. afraid D. proud42. A. interested B. distracted C. attracted D. worried43. A. disgusted B. embarrassed C. frightened D. engaged44. A. obstacle B. push C. opportunity D. rule45. A. action B. program C. performance D. problemSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Our youngest daughter can be stubborn about receiving gifts, and I told her so.“Where do you think I get it from?” she asked.“I’m not stubborn when it comes to receiving gifts,” I said. “I used to be but not now.”She has a birthday coming up and we want to get her some new cowboy boots.Cowboy boots aren’t cheap, but we want to do something special and get her something she could use and enjoy for years to come.But my daughter is pushing back, saying she’s happy with her current boots-which are old and worn-out.I push back, she pushes back, and we become locked in a mother-daughter match over stubbornness and howmuch is too much to spend on a special gift.She thinks my husband and I do too much for her. I used to think the same thing about my parents—my parents weren’t rich, but they were generous.They kept saying they enjoyed giving me gifts, but all I could think about was how much money they were wasting on me.Years ago, I mentioned to a friend that I thought my mother overdid it when it came to buying gifts for her children.My friend, closer to my mothers age than mine, looked at me and said, “Who are you to tell your mother what she can do?”I wanted to argue with her, but I didn’t. I didn’t fully understand it then but I understand it now—now that I’ma grandmother myself.The longer you live, the more you see how often things go wrong.Marriages fail, friendships break down family members become estranged, and accidents and illnesses cut lives short.There is a brokenness that fills many of our lives.So, when you see life going well, families working hard and growing strong, you want to celebrate.It took a lot of time for me to understand that giving is an expression of joy, as much as it is an expression of love, understand where my daughter is coming from, but I also understand where my parents were coming from—a place of pure and simple joy celebrating those moments when life goes well.46. Why did the author’s daughter try to refuse her mom’s gift?A. She had many boots to wear.B. She wanted something else for her birthday.C. She didn’t like the style of the boots.D. She didn’t want her mom to spend too much money.47. The author began to understand her parents’ behavior after she ________.A. listened to her friends’ adviceB. experienced brokenness in lifeC communicated with her husbandD received gifts from other family members48. The underlined word “estranged” most probably means “________”.A. lonelyB. distantC. joyfulD. complete49. What does the author think about gift giving?A. It is the best way to express our love to others.B. It is an expression of hope for the future.C. It is a way to show our joy when life is going well.D. It is a way for people to escape bad things in life.(B)For years, the Empire State Building in New York was recognized as the tallest building in the world, but in recent decades, many much higher structures have been built. Read on to learn more about four of the tallest skyscrapers existing today.● Buri KhalifaBuri Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is currently the tallest building in the world. The tower is part of a new development built on a man-made lake. Burj Khalifa has a distinctive shape so that the windows look out onto the Persian Gulf. A 304-room hotel occupies the lower floors and there is an observation deck on the 124th floor. The top floor is home to a private VIP club, closed to anyone except members.● Shanghai World Financial CentreThis skyscraper has the highest observation deck in the world, although the building itself is no longer the tallest. Construction stopped between 1998 and 2003 because of the Asian financial crisis, but it was eventually finished in 2008. The most distinctive feature in its design is the geometric opening at the top of the tower.● International Commerce CentreThis skyscraper in Hong Kong stands on top of Kowloon Station, which gave its name to the original proposal for the building. The tower is not as high as in earlier plans because of regulations that prevented buildings from being taller than the surrounding mountains. A five-star hotel occupies the upper fifteen floors of the building. There is an observation deck on the 100th floor and a number of five-star restaurants on the 101st floor.● Petronas TowerThese towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are the tallest twin buildings in the world. They were built on the site of the city’s horse-racing tracking and an exclusive shopping centre is located at the base. The towers are connected by a sky bridge on the 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest two-storey bridge in the world. It is open to the public, but only a limited number of free tickets are given out each day, and visitors are allowed no more than ten minutes on the bridge.50. In which two buildings can you book a room?A. Buri Khalifa and Shanghai World Financial Centre.B. International Commerce Centre and Petronas Towers.C. Burj Khalifa and International Commerce Centre.D. Petronas Towers and Burj Khalifa.51. ________ is/are shorter than it/they was/were designed to be.A. Burj KhalifaB. Shanghai World Financial CentreC. Petronas TowersD. International Commerce Centre52. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Shanghai World Financial Centre took longer to complete than planned.B. Visitors have to pay to stay on the two-storey bridge in Petronas Towers.C. International Commerce Centre is named after its investor.D. The top floor of Buri Khalifa is accessible to everyone.(C)Are we getting more stupid? According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. “If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us,” Crabtree told The Guardian.At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak-condition gradually reduced.This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going—you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework the pressure of looking pretty encourages you to lose weight when summer comes. And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less, we become less smart.These mutations (变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.However, Crabtree’s theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better huntingand surviving abilities, but people today have developed more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing (用矛刺) a tiger doesn’t necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover, the power of modem education means lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.“You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago. He just wouldn’t exist,” Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. “But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights (洞察力) that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation (进化适应).”53. What is Crabtree’s recent finding according to the article?A. The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.B. Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.C. Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.D. Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.54. According to Crabtree, ancient humans ________.A. had much more genes that determine human IntelligenceB. were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressuresC. relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligenceD. developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities55. Some argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think ________.A. people today are under much more pressure than early humansB. it’s unreasonable to compare hunter’s and a poet’s intelligenceC. modern education is far more advanced than ancient educationD. human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past56. What is Thomas Hill’s attitude toward Crabtree’s theory?A. He is for Crabtree’s theory.B. He is against Crabtree’s theory.C. He is worried about Crabtree’s theory.D. He is confused about Crabtree’s theory.Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Designer Dolls Become Desirable CollectablesKan Hui, senior stage set designer based in Beijing, stands in front of vending machine (自动售货机) in a shopping center. She feeds in the money and a paper box rolls out. 57 Dolls are not just toys for little girls any more. They have become desirable collectables for many young Chinese under the age of thirty.Molly, a little girl with curly hair, wide eyes and pouting lips, is one of the best-selling dolls in China. Each Molly sells for 59 yuan and there are over one hundred editions of the doll in different series. For doll fans, it is an affordable way to build an “art” collection.In fact, what has made collecting designer dolls a new phenomenon is the concept of a “blind box”. As the name implies, consumers have no idea which specific doll from a series they will get until they open the box.58 Over 400 million Molly dolls are reported to have been sold throughout the country last year!59 Psychologists say that collectors are trying to bring some order and meaning to their lives. That may be true, but I think they do it just because it is fun and sometimes educational. I have a friend who collects beer bottles. He does not recycle them for money. Instead, he has them lined up in neat rows on shelves, and over 200 of them are from more than 30 different countries—a good way to learn about geography.Collecting Molly dolls is probably fad (一时的风尚) that will be replaced by another one eventually. 60 Ⅳ.

伊美区第二中学2020-2021学年高一上学期第一次月考 英语试题(含答案)

伊美区第二中学2020-2021学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试题(考试时间100分钟,满分120分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1.5分,满分22.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

AAs the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.My son has attention deficit disorder (注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then pay attention to the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.1. With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son ______.A. became the best student in his classB. was interested in singing songsC. quickly finished his 4th grade lessonsD. improved his grades greatly2. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. Miss Green didn’t teach the writer’s son in the 5th gradeB. Miss Green was the best teacher at the schoolC. all the students in the school liked Miss GreenD. the writer’s son had many teachers like Miss Green3. In the passage, the writer mainly tells us ______.A. what his son studied at schoolB. his son once had a good teacherC. how to be a good and popular teacherD. a teacher who liked playing with studentsBIn the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music--from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Y es, it’s both of these things, but it’s als o something else: they’re elephants.These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world. the TECC encourages elephants to paint.Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments (乐器), including the drums and the xylophone (木琴). The animals also use their voices and trunks (象鼻) to make sounds.But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.4. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage the passage?A. Richard Lair started the Thai Elephant Orchestra by himself.B. The elephants in the TECC can only play traditional Thai songs.C. The CDs of the Thai Elephant Orchestra are popular with people.D.The elephants can only play drums and xylophone.5. The writer wrote this passage to_______.A. ask people to save the elephantsB. invite more people to join the TECCC. introduce the elephants’ special talents to peopleD.encourage TECC to improve efficiency6.What is the passage mainly about ?A. Musical ElephantsB. An Introduction to the TECCC. Richard Lair’s AchievementsD. Musicians in Lampang7.What is this text?A. A press report(新闻报道)B. An expository writing(说明文))C. A storyD. An advertisement(广告)CWhat a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at t he school for a hundred years!The day started very early at 7:00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, Mom said she would send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.I cannot wait until tomorrow and think that I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.8. How did the author feel the night before her new school?A.Tired.B.Excited.C.Worried.D.Relaxed.9.What did the author think of her mother’s advice?A.Clear.B.Funny.C.Reasonable.D.Excellent.10.Wh at happened on the author’s first day of school?A.She met many nice people.B.She had a hurried breakfast.C.She learned some new skills.D.She arrived at school very early.11.What can we infer about Abigail?A.She disliked Stacey.B.She was shy and quiet.C.She got on well with the author.D.She was an old friend of the author.DLeaving junior high school,and going up to the high school was a very frightening change for me. I went there with no friends. The only two people who came from my previous school were two girls, Donna Davis and Sakjinda Rai, but I developed little friendship with them. At first I was scared and looked stupid. But after a few months, I tried keeping my arms open and making friends with people around me.After an unsuccessful relationship with Amit Sharmar, who ran away from me whenever I said hello to him, Sher Bhachu joined me, and we seemed to have a bit in common. So I made my first friend, and I wasn’t on my own any more! But after a few days, he broke his leg,and was off for a couple of months! I was on my own again!Anyway, when Sher finally did return, I introduced him to another friend of mine, Graeme Parker. They got on like a house on fire, but unfortunately that little threesome (三人一组) only managed to last about a week or twobefore they had a bit of fight, and poor Graeme went his own way. Shortly after that we met and later joined with another gang. Others later joined at various stages,including: Chris Elemen, Venay Maru, Amandeep Vidhani, Yaser Ghauri and Paul Barrance. It was with these people that I spent most of my life in senior high school.12.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The author didn't like Sakjinda Rai at all.B.The author's junior high school was not very good.C.The author felt frightened in the new school with no friends.D.The author had tried his best to make friends with Donna Davis.13.After a short time,the author was alone without friends again because .A.they quarrelled about somethingB.his friend was off because of injuryC.the author moved to another schoolD.they found they had nothing to share14..According to the last paragraph,we can learn that .A.the author made more friends as time went onB.the author missed his little threesomeC.the author and Graeme had a fightD.Graeme Parker and Sher Bhachu were close friends15.The real purpose of the author in writing this passage is to .A.introduce some friends to readersB.prove senior high school life is hardC.tell readers his friendship in senior high schoolD.show his attitudes toward life in senior high school第二节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Maybe【小题9】 reading my story, you'll launch your own website. But perhaps you've got a better idea? Well, if I were you, I'd just do it, 【小题10】it is. Maybe it won't work-but maybe it will!"2.

Suddenly a car approaches. Unable to see the animal, the driver accidentally runs over her hind leg. The raccoon falls to the ground where she lies helpless.Other motorists, who saw the accident, pull over to check on the injured animal. One concerned witness is Marco Berger, 【小题2】works for a nearby wildlife hospital called WildCare.Berger calls a nearby branch of the Marian Humane Society, an organization that, among other things, transports injured wildlife to care centers. About 10 minutes later, rescue officers arrive on the scene.They use a net to lift up the lttle raccoon, then load her into an animal ambulance and 【小题3】(rush) her to WildCare.At the hospital, head veterinary technician Nat Smith gives the raccoon a checkup.

Note that there is one wordResearchers say American children now eat an average of three snacks a day between meals. A study found that those snacks add up to almost one third of all the daily calories eaten by children. And those extra calories could help 【小题1】 the rise in overweight children in the United States.The study was done at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The researchers studied the diets of thirty-one thousandchildren ages two to eighteen over a thirty-year period. They found that snacking has increased since the nineteen seventies. And what kinds of snacks have increased the most? Salty, high-fat foods like chips. The study also found greater snacking on cake, cookies and other treats that past 【小题2】 might have saved for after dinner.The study is in the journal Health Affairs. Nutrition professor Barry Popkin was one of the lead 【小题3】. He says parents should 【小题4】 snacks to one a day for children age six and older. Healso advises parents and 【小题5】 to provide healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables.Professor Popkin says American schools also need to improve their nutrition. For example, schools may have vending machines (自动售贩机)that offer what many people would consider junk food. There has been a(n) 【小题6】 for schools to offer more healthful snacks and lunch choices and fewer sugary drinks.Earlier this month Coca-cola said it would stop selling sugary drinks in American schools unless parents 【小题7】 them. Its competitors at Pepsi just announced that they will stop sales of sugared drinks to schools 【小题8】.America’s top public health officer wants to see more changes like this. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin recently spoke to lawmakers about making healthy foods more 【小题9】. “There is a growing agreement that we as a nation need to recreate our communities and environments where 【小题10】 choices are easy choices and affordable choices.”三、完形填空4. A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not _______ anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. It is possible that: Americans are unique in treating their little friends in this way, but the information we have suggests that the English, too, are_______ to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food or at least, are _______ less nutrition. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, _______veterinary(兽医的) bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel _______ with this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is _______ for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I find the popularity ofBritish pets _______. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can causedisease, too. It is the threat of rabies —a disease with no known cure —that has made the English government impose strict _______ on animals coming into the United Kingdom. When the Spanish government recently _______ a number of stray dogs as protection against the same threat, English tourists immediately wrote letters to the newspapers ________about 'mass murder'.Another problem is the ________ of pet owners. Most littlechildren want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just________ it. This brings me to my last point. Pets, which run free, are often not ________ at all. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.________, I would only suggest that we have got our ________ wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it’s time we stopped being sentimental about pets.【小题1】 A .alertB .surpriseC .disappointD .interest 【小题2】 A .kindB .politeC .subjectD .available 【小题3】 A .seldom B .far C .frequently D .totally【小题4】 A .in spite of B .regardless of C .not to mentionD .rather than 【小题5】 A .delighted B .patient C .mention D .unsatisfied【小题6】 A .usual B .natural C .concerned D .essential【小题7】 A .inevitable B .understandable C .ridiculous D .common【小题8】 A .orders B .punishments C .unacceptable D .restriction【小题9】 A .cured B .destroyed C .treatments D .drove【小题10】 A .inquiring B .caring C .enclosed D .complaining【小题11】 A .thoughtlessness B .hesitation C .worrying D .kindness【小题12】 A .isolate B .scold C .abandon D .bind【小题13】 A .funny B .sweet C .desert D .loving【小题14】 A .Nevertheless B .Moreover C .Therefore D .Meanwhile【小题15】 A .mind B .behavior C .love D .priority四、阅读选择5. 18-year-old Kayla Perkins explains what is in herbedroom, "I throw something on the floor and I know right where itis." However, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, ofMcKinney,Texas, haven't caught on. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess.Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill (垃堆) .The mess can disturb the whole household. Dirty clothes pile up; dirty dishes get lost in the mess and smell bad; homework is lost; and valuable things are ruined.Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they don't. What doesn't work, parenting experts say, is constant lectures, verbal (口头的,言语的) threats or getting very angry. Mrs. Perking says they picked up all the clothes on Kayla's floor and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom, there was screaming and shouting,"How can I live without my clothes?" Mrs. Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. These days, she keeps her room clean.Humour can help, too. For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn't bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gavein and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing.Parenting expert, Jim Fay, also recommends that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit. Children often behave better if you treat them in the way you would want to be treated by your boss at work - with respect and high expectation.【小题1】What is the best title of the passage?A.How to Make Children Clean up Their BedroomsB.Ways to Correct Children's Bad Habits.C.Encourage Children to Share More Housework.D.Tips on Cleaning up the Room.【小题2】According to the experts, when children's room looks like a landfill, parents at first shouldA.let children have their own private space.B.lecture their children and give verbal threats.C.set an example and offer rewards for cleaning.D.ask them in a nice way and set a reasonable time limit.【小题3】What can we conclude from the passage?A.Playing hide-and-seek can help children change their attitude.B.Parents differ over their children's bedroom cleaning. C.Children often behave better if parents treat them like bosses. D.Most children feel uncomfortable when their rooms are too clean.6. MEGHAN YOUNG is a professional Instagram star. She gets paid to climb beautiful mountains, photograph their glittering (闪闪发光的) summits and post about her adventures to her fans.Young graduated from Seattle University’s school of Law in 2015. But she decided she didn’t want to become a lawyer. Her parents were shocked by the decision. “They were worried about what I was going to do,” Young says. “How was I going to find career stability?”But her legal skills haven’t gone to waste. Once companies express an interest in working with her, there’s the tough task of negotiating the terms (条款) of the deal. And the work is still unfinished even after she’s done take the photos. Whe n Young returns from her adventures, she carefully edits the images and writes captions to go along with them. Once the posts are public, businesses sometimes don’t pay on time. That's when she needs to follow up. Her least favorite problem is when she discovers that a company has used her photos in a way that violates the terms of the contract.That usually leads to time-consuming email exchanges.Social media influencing is not as effortless as it seems. The stress it creates even has its own name: creator burnout (精疲力竭) . Young used to obsessively check her post’s performance, which she says will “drive you crazy”, so she stopped. But if she doesn’t reply, people will stop commenting.Without that engagement on her posts, brands won’t want to keep paying he r. Therefore, she had to accept the fact that she’ll be tethered (拴住) to her phone as long as she’s in this line of work.Beyond the day-to- day headaches of a career online, social media’s inherent (固有的) uncertainly also poses problems for creators. There are times when Young is staring at the calendar without another project in the works. In the long term, it can be risky to focus a career on a single platform, or even on social media itself.Yet Young says it’s all been worth it, because the sponsorship allow her to spend much of her life in the mountains. Her ideal day starts with unzipping her tent at dawn so she can take pictures ofthe sunrise reflecting on snowy summits around her. Few jobs in the world would allow her to do that so consistently (一贯地) .【小题1】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The main work involved in being an Instagram influencer.B.The difficulties that every Instagram star will meet.C.How to deal with dishonest companies.D.How Meghan Young’s legal skills help her work.【小题2】According to the article, all of the following are problems with being a social media influencer EXCEPT__________.A.there are a lot of tough tasks when dealing with sponsors.B.the work of photo-taking and image-editing is difficult to handle. C.it is stressful to check one’s phone and to interact with fansall the time.D.the income is unstable and the career prospects are uncertain. 【小题3】According to the article, what is Meghan Young’s attitude toward her career as a full-time influencer?A.Bored. B.Worried.C.Satisfied D.Confident.【小题4】According to the article, which of the following statements is true?A.Meghan Young’s decision to be a full-time influencer was supported by her parents.B.It happens frequently that Meghan Young doesn’t get paid on time. C.It is impossible for Instagram influencers to put down their phones.D.In order to increase their influence, creators have to keep a good relationship with fans.7. About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.However, paradoxically(自相矛盾的), just recently a group ofblack parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state’s ban on IQ testing discriminates(歧视) against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believe, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating (评估)children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially his original decision.And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even promoting such testing. If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in schoolit seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative to evaluate eithera child’s physical condition o r his intellectual level.Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The same fluctuation (起伏) back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child’s intellectual level, the better for the child in ques tion.【小题1】Why did the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades?A.Its validity was challenged by many communities.B.It was considered discriminative against minority children.C.It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents. D.It robbed the black children of their rights to a good education. 【小题2】The author believes that intelligence testing . A.may ease racial discrimination in the United StatesB.can encourage black children to keep up with white childrenC.may seriously worsen racial discrimination in the United States D.can help black parents make decisions about their children’s education【小题3】The author’s opinion of child adoption seems to bethat .A.no definite rules can be prescribedB.white families should adopt black childrenC.adoption should be based on IQ test resultsD.cross-racial adoption is to be advocated【小题4】Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that______.A.good will may sometimes complicate racial problemsB.social surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of children C.intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areas D.American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issues五、六选四8. Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.One afternoon three years ago, Chelsey Vance from Tennessee decided to go for a walk after taking some ibuprofen (布洛芬) . She didn't know then that she was allergic (过敏的) to the painkiller.About halfway down the trail, she felt like she was going tofaint (昏倒) .
