绝密★启用前江苏省南通市通州区2017-2018学年高二下学期期末调研测试英语试题一、单项选择1.The flag, nine red and white stripes, a national flag dating back to the 13th century.A.consisting of; based on B.consisted of; is based onC.consisting of; is based on D.consisted of; based on【答案】C【解析】考查谓语动词和非谓语动词。

句意:这面旗子, 由九条红色和白色条纹组成, 是以在十三世纪的一面国旗为基础的。

两个逗号后面都没有连词,可以判断出这是一个句子。

根据nine red and white stripes是修饰The flag是作定语,故用非谓语动词。

consist of“有…组成”,本句中表达的是(客观现实状况)故用现在分词做后置定语修饰the flag。

be based on “以…为基础”是谓语。

故选C。

2.Successful businesses evolve by staying the changing market and choosing the right time to move from their existing business model to a new model.A.in contradiction with B.in common withC.in contact with D.in tune with【答案】D【解析】考查介词短语辨析。

句意:成功的企业通过与不断变化的市场保持一致,选择正确的时间从现有的商业模式转变为新的模式来发展。

A. in contradiction with与…相抵触;与…矛盾着;B. in common with与……一样;C. in contact with接触;与…有联系;D. in tune with(与...)一致;(与...)协调。

D项符合语境。

故选D。

3.It is a pity nonsense the papers print, some people always believe it. A.whatever B.whicheverC.however D.whenever【答案】A【解析】考查连词辨析。

句意:真是可怜,无论这些文章表达什么谬论,总是有些人相信它。

分析句子可知,it是形式主语,真正的主语是nonsense the papers print,空格处在从句中作print的宾语,,print vt.印刷,出版(此处意译为:说明,表达),后面缺宾语,故CD两项排除,B项意为“无论哪一个”,意思不通顺,故也排除。

A项意为“无论什么”。

故选A。

4.The great leader often inspires younger generations that only through hard work .A.has happiness been achieved B.will happiness be achievedC.happiness has been achieved D.happiness will be achieved【答案】B【解析】考查倒装句型。

句意:这位伟大的领袖常常激励年轻一代,只有通过辛勤的工作,才能获得幸福。

that引导的是一个宾语从句,“only+介词短语”放在这个宾语从句中的句首需用部分倒装。

鼓励的语言应用将来时而不应用现在完成时,故选B。

5.Good parents turn every meal into a special occasion they can use to discipline their kids.A.which B.whereC.who D.when【答案】A【解析】考查定语从句的关系词。

句意:好父母把每顿饭变成一个特殊的场合,他们可以用来管教自己的孩子。

后面是一个定语从句,先行词a special occasion指物,从句中use后缺少宾语,故用关系代词which,故选A。

6.Scientists have been the temperature of the oceans to see how it changes over a period of time.A.predicting B.controllingC.increasing D.charting【答案】D【解析】考查动词辨析。

句意:科学家们一直在绘制海洋的温度,去看它在一段时间内是如何变化的。

A. predicting预测;B. controlling控制;C. increasing增加;D. charting绘图,制表格。

D 项符合语境,故选D。

7.At last we came to a town and found a quiet hotel, .A.next to it was a thick wood B.next to which was a thick woodC.next to it a thick wood was D.next to which a thick wood was【答案】B【解析】考查定语从句。

句意:最后我们来到一个小城,找到一家安静的旅馆,旅馆的旁边是一片浓密树林。

and后有两个谓语动词,一个是found,另一个是各选项中的was,故可推断空格处连词是必不可少,再结合语境判断这是个非限制性定语从句,从句中介词短语放句首要倒装,故选B。

8.It won’t be long before we put our plan into fina l form. you want to make any change, please keep me informed before tomorrow.A.Would B.CouldC.Might D.Should【答案】D【解析】考查情态动词。

句意:很快我们就要把我们的计划形成最终定稿。

假如你想做任何改变的话,请在明天以前告知我。

should作为情态动词,可以用在条件状语从句中,表示语气较强的假设,译作“万一”、“竟然”,这时也可将should置于从句之首,即将should放在主语前面,而省略从属连词 if。

故选D。

【点睛】should的用法(用于条件从句表示某事可能发生)要是,万一,假如Should you buy a home from Lovell, the company promises to buy it back at the same price after three years.如果你在拉弗尔购买一处房产,公司承诺三年后以相同价格将其回收。

If I should be late, start without me.假如我迟到了,你们就先开始。

I should be so lucky!我要是这么幸运就好了!9.It disappoints the specialists that Canada is faced with the similar problem as the Internet meant to bring people closer to set them apart.A.beginning B.begunC.begins D.had begun【答案】C【解析】考查谓语动词。

句意:加拿大遇到了类似的问题:因特网原计划是拉近人们之间距离,然而却然增大了人们之间的距离,这使得专家们很失望。

As后是一个句子,主语是the Internet, meant to bring people closer是过去分词短语做后置定语,故本空缺少谓语动词,根据Canada is faced with…的时态是一般现在时,故此处的谓语动词也应该用一般现在时。

故选C。

10.Jeff’s business was originally in size, but in the last f ew years he has expanded it by opening scores of chain stores across America.A.desperate B.concreteC.modest D.absolute【答案】C【解析】考查形容词辨析。

句意:杰夫的生意原本规模不大,但在过去的几年里,他通过在美国各地开设连锁店来扩大业务。

A. desperate孤注一掷的;B. concrete具体的,有形的;实在的,实际的;C. modest谨慎的,谦虚的,适度的,适中的;不大的;D. absolute 绝对的。

根据后面but in the last few years he has expanded it by opening scores of chain stores across America.可知,前面与此相反,是说规模不大,故选C。

11.When the engineers the car parks, they based their plan on one car per four families.A.touched on B.laid outC.cut out D.broke up【答案】B【解析】考查动词短语辨析。

句意:当工程师规划这个停车场时,他们是以四家有一辆车来规划的。

A. touched on碰(某人某处);与…有关,涉及;B. laid out规划,布置,设计(场地、建筑等);C. cut out切断;删去;停止;关掉;D. broke up打碎。

根据后文based their plan on one car per four families可知,是“规划”停车场,故选B。

12.The famous film star was blamed for avoiding taxes that she was supposed to pay, and she has said nothing herself ever since.A.in charge of B.in case ofC.in defence of D.in memory of【答案】C【解析】考查介词短语辨析。

A. in charge of负责;主管;B. in case of以防,万一;C. in defence of保护,防护;为……辩护;D. in memory of以纪念。

wingspan,can slay aloft (up in the air)for weeks at a time,a new study has found.Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea,its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren't well﹣known ﹣until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean.What the researchers discovered is that the birds' flying ability is unbelievable.Ornithologist (乌类学者)Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tags on a couple of frigatebirds.When the data started to come in,he could hardly believe how high the birds flew."First,we found,'Whoa,1,500 meters,excellent,'" says Weimerskirch."And after 2,000,after 3,000,after 4,000 meters ﹣OK,at this altitude they are in freezing conditions,especially surprising for a tropical bird.""There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says."It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud." And not just any cloud ﹣a soft,white cumulus cloud (积云).Over the ocean,these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface.The birds take a ride on the current of rising air,all the way up to the top of the cloud.Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water.Since their feathers aren't waterproof,the birds would drown in short order.They feed by attacking other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.So in between meals,frigatebirds fly higher…and higher.In one case,for two months ﹣continuously aloft.One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing﹣flap.Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average,and flew continuously for weeks.They are blessed with an unusual body.No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.58.How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?A.Calm B.Surprised C.Hopeful D.Anxious59.According to the passage,how can frigatebirds fly so high?A.By flying into a cloud.B.With the help of researchers.C.Thanks to advanced technology.D.By following other birds into the sky.60.In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?A.When they give birth.B.What they feed on.C.Their body weight.D.Their wing surface area.(8分)As experts warn of coming food crisis,the vertical fanning industry aims to create plants that offer more nutritional value and require fewer resources.In vertical farms,plants are grown indoors.Each set of plants is placed above another.Workers control the climate and closely monitor each plant's growth.Aerofarms is one of the top indoor﹣farming companies.One of its vertical farms is in a large building near a busy road in Newark,New Jersey.It grows more than 250 kinds of greens and herbs.Farmers wear gloves,coats and coverings on their head.Their shoes must be cleaned.AeroFarms grows crops at the same rate throughout the year.The methods it uses lower soil erosion (侵蚀).They also reduce the amount of pesticides (杀虫剂)and water needed to grow the crops.The company says carbon emissions are heavily reduced.David Rosenberg is the co ﹣founder and chief executive officer of AeroFarms."We could do this whether it is in the Sahara Desert or a city like Newark," he said."We think about how we can really bring and celebrate different typed of greens."Alina Zolotareva is a dietitian and nutritionist at AcroFarms.She says she wants people to eat more leafy greens like kale,one of the most nutritionally dense foods.She says if her company is to successfully encourage this kind of healthy eating,it must grow crops that taste good."Americans especially don't eat enough vegetables,and so for me the most exciting part is all of the different flavors that we have here.It makes eating your vegetables so much more exciting and so much more fun." CEO David Rosenberg believes the company's kale is tasty."A lot of people like the nutritional density of kale,but they don't like the taste.So we can make asweeter kale," he said.Rosenberg said,"AcroFarms is helping the world deal with a growing food shortage and people must change their focus from the number of calories they consume to the nutrition levels of the foods they eat."Recent World Bank studies predict that an estimated global population of 9 billion in 2050 will require at least 50 percent more food.Experts say the crisis will be worsened by climate change,which they believe will reduce crop harvests by more than 25 percent during that time.They say the food crisis will have a larger effect on the world's poorest citizens than on those who live in developed countries.61.What do we know about vertical farms?A.They are mostly of vast size.B.They aim to plant tasty foods.C.They grow crops half the year.D.They can control the environmental factors.62.Which is a requirement for farmers in AeroFarms?A.Complete confidenceB.Physical strengthC.SociabilityD.Tidiness63.How are the crops in AeroFarms?A.MuddyB.Energy﹣efficientC.WateryD.Quick﹣growing64.What does the last paragraph imply?A.The necessity of new farming approaches.B.The seriousness of population problems.C.The consequence of climate changeD.The popularity of vertical farming.30.(12分)Last weekend,I was watching television with a few friends,browsing the week'smost popular YouTube videos,when a piece in the comedy section called "I Forgot My Phone" caught my eye.As I was about to click the Play button,a friend warned,"Oh,don't watch that.I saw it yesterday,and it's really sad."The two﹣minute video,which has been viewed more than 15 million times,begins with a couple in bed.The woman,played by the comedian and actress Charlene deGuzman,stares silently while her husband checks his smartphone.The subsequent scenes follow Ms.deGuzman through a day that is downright dystopian (反乌托邦的);people ignore her as they stare at their phones during lunch,at a concert,while bowling and at a birthday party.The clips ends with Ms.deGuzman back in bed with her husband at the end of the day;he is still using his phone.MS.deGuzman's video makes for some disturbing viewing.It's a direct hit on our smartphone ﹣obsessed culture,showing our addiction to that little screen and suggesting that maybe life is just better led when it is lived rather than viewed."It makes me sad that there are moments in our lives where we're not present because we're looking at a phone,"said Ms.deGuzman,who also wrote the piece,which was directed by Miles Crawford.She said that,like it or not,experiencing life through a four﹣inch screen could be the new norm.Or not ,Ms.deGuzman's video may have landed at one of those cultural moments when people start questioning if something has gone too far and start doing something about it.Last week,the unsound music festival in Poland banned fans from recording the event,saying it did not want"instant documentation"and distractions that might take away from the performances.In April,during a show in New York City,Karen O,the lead singer of the rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs,told audience members to put away their phones.A number of New York restaurants,including Momofuku Ko and Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare,have prohibited people from photographing their food.And,of course,many mothers and fathers who fought to keep the television out of the kitchen may see smartphones as the next threat to dinnertime civility."Every experience is being mediated and conceived around how it can be captured and augmented (放大)by our devices,"said Matthias Crawford,a researcher in human﹣computer interactions and communication at Stanford university."It can be clearly seen in our meals,where every portion leading up to,during and after a dining experience is being carved out by particular apps."People make dinner reservations on Open Table;check in on Foursquare when they arriveat the restaurant;take a picture of their food to share on Instagram;post on Twitter a joke they hear during the meal;review the restaurant on Yelp;then,finally,coordinate a ride home using Uber."If you're wondering when people are going to reject the phone,that will mean they need to reject Silicon Valley's entire concept of how you ought to be dining,"Mr.Crawford said.But,he added,it was possible."Yes,society is changing,but the iPhone is only six years old,and those changes aren't set in place."Given the overwhelming response to

that measure as the threshold for prescribing anti﹣hypertensive drugs.But based on new recommendations,adults who are 60 or older can wait until their readings reach 150 over 90 or above to begin medication.After reviewing available evidence on the effects of blood pressure treatments,the Institute of Medicine's Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8)concluded that aggressive treatment can lead to lightheadedness,falls and fainting in elderly populations 一so they advised loosening the guidelines for starting medication.But days after the guidelines were published,heart experts raised concerns about how the advice would affect patients;inadequately controlled blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke.Members of the JNC8 who voted against the recommendations published an editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine outlining their reasons for opposing the change."We,the panel minority,believed that evidence was insufficient to increase the target goal from its current level because increasing the goal may cause harm by increasing the risk for CVD (心血管疾病)and partially undoing the remarkable progress in reducing cardiovascular mortality in Americans older than 60," they wrote.Dr.Suzanne Steinbaum said she has not changed the way she treats her patients over 60.She says,"As a preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家),these new guidelines have made me crazy.What we have learned is that blood pressure treatment even for a patient above 80 has been shown to be critical.It goes against everything we know as cardiologists."Defending the panel's decision,Dr.Paul A.James,co﹣chairman of the guidelinescommittee,said in an email to TIME,"I can assure you that the panel discussed the opinions of the minority members on three different occasions and the majority were not persuaded that the expert skills of a few members should override the scientific evidence."James said that as with any medications,doctors wilt use the blood pressure recommendations as guidelines,and prescribe drugs based on their evaluation of each patient."Medications prescribed by physicians all have the potential to be dangerous,"he wrote."Educating doctors about the scientific evidence will help doctors make better decisions with patients.Physicians who practice on the basis of scientific evidence usually subscribe to simple rule 一if the medicine cannot be shown to help the patient,then the medicine should not be prescribed."The editorial isn't likely to change them any time soon.But the concerns should urge doctors to monitor their patients more closely and tailor medications and their doses more carefully.(95)(96)(97)(98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)第八部分书面表达(共1题,满分15分)56.(15分)1、如图描述了两条鱼寻找新水源的情景.请根据你对这幅图的理解用英语写一篇短文.你的短文应包括以下内容:1.简要描述该图片的内容;2.谈谈你对这幅图的理解;3.结合自身实际谈谈如何保护水资源.注意:1.可参照图片适当发挥;2.作文词数150左右;3.作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息,如校名、人名等.2016-2017学年江苏省南通市启东市高二(下)期末英语试卷答案与解析第一部分听力第二部分英语知识运用(共两节)第一节单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)请认真阅读下面各题,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸(卡)上将该项涂黑.21.(1分)﹣Why

江苏省扬州市2017-2018学年高二下学期期末考试英语---精校解析Word版
A. suitable B. relevant C. parallel D. abstract
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考察形容词词义辨析。句意:医学和土木工程属于两个截然不同种类的学科,没有任何的交集,因此很难在这两个学科上建立交叉学科。A.suitable合适的;B.relevant相关的;C.parallel平行的;D.abstract抽象的。根据前文totally different categories可知,两个学科没有交集,故on parallel tracks在平行轨道上,故C切题。cross-subjects交叉学科。
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析,句意:想到刚才在这场事故中差点死掉,这位准新娘就忍不住一阵惊恐。A.chewed咀嚼;B.seized抓住;C.zoomed急速上升;D.escaped逃跑。根据后文he narrowly escaped being killed in the accident just now差点在事故中死掉,可知准新娘感到后怕,就像惊恐抓住了她一样,故B切题。
【点睛】关于关系代词whose的用法。定语从句中关系代词除了常用的which,that,who之外,还有whose,whose引导定语从句时,先行词既可以是人,也可以是物,在从句作定语修饰名词,相当于of which/whom。比如本题中,先行词是The Reader,关系词在从句中作定语修饰名词purpose,需要用whose。

Speaking Mandarin makes it easier to communicate, but dialects are also important, whose protection is becoming urgent and necessary.First and foremost, protecting dialects means protecting the richness and diversity of culture. As we all know, dialects are an important component of culture. They have witnessed the long Chinese history and truly represent different regional cultures. Changes of dynasties, waves of migration and other aspects of history are all recorded or reflected in these various dialects of China. Secondly, as a tool of communication, dialects make people from the same region more closely connected. For example,students, who study in universities far away from home, always find themselves grouped with those of the same dialects, which help them fit in the new environment easily.In conclusion, protecting dialects is of great importance and significance.(150词)听力原材料(Text 1)W: Oh, no!

And my parents followed in my grandparents’ footsteps. So it is not strange that I love cooking too. The restaurant that my paren ts work at doesn’t just focus on the taste of the food it provides, but also considers healthy ingredients to be very important. They want to provide customers with healthy food. So they often study how to make food both healthy and delicious. And they often talk with me about the importance of healthy eating. Nowadays many Americans are overweight because of what they eat. Now more and more people are paying attention to healthy eating. And more and more activities around the country are promoted. The annual Healthy Lunchtime Challenge is one of them. It is open to children aged from 8 to 12. I didn’t take part in it in the first two years. But I took part in it this year. The judges liked what I prepared, so I was one of the winners. Last Friday all the winners were invited to the White House. Then the president and the first lady gave a speech. They both emphasized the importance of healthy eating. After coming back from the White House, I was even more determined to prepare healthy food for people when I grow up.。

A commercial skyscraper in the City of London,the actual name of the building is 20 Fenchurch Street.The distinctive shape of the building,which is larger at the top than at the bottom,has led to the nickname "Walkie Talkie".The building has been a hotly debated construction,with many believing the building has negatively impacted the view of St.Pauls Cathedral and the Tower of London.In fact,the building was originally intended to be another 40m tall but was shortened as a small compromise.On the top of the building is the three-storey Sky Garden visitor attraction,offering bars and restaurants,and the larger floors at the top of the structure make the most of views over London.Visitor InformationOpening Hours:10 am-6 pm weekdays/10 am-10 pm weekends.Timing:Visitors more than 10 minutes late will lose their reservations.Booking:Must be done AT LEAST three days in advance.It can be booked up to as far as three months in advance.Regulations Worth Noting:The building is subject to airport-like security -No liquids of more than 100ml allowed (baby food /drink excepted)and no bags larger than 8 inches x 17 inches x 19 inches;no groups of more than 6are allowed;ID that matches the reservation name is required.16.20 Fenchurch Street got the nickname "Walkie Talkie" for ______ .A. its unusual appearanceB. the cultural traditions of LondonersC. its efficient service and beautiful sceneryD. the critical voices at the beginning of its construction17.If you want to visit 20 Fenchurch Street,you should ______ .A. avoid the rush hoursB. book online in advanceC. show your ID at the entranceD. limit the number of your group members【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】C【解析】1.A.细节理解题.根据第一段The distinctive shape of the building,which is larger at the top than at the bottom,has led to the nickname "Walkie Talkie".可知,建筑的独特形状,在顶部比在底部更大,导致了"Walkie Talkie"的绰号.故选A.2.C.推理判断题.根据第二段 ID that matches the reservation name is required.需要与预订名称匹配的身份.可知,在入口出应该要出示身份证.故选C.本文是一篇广告布告类阅读,主要讲述了参观伦敦的Walkie Talkie需要注意的一些情况.考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.BThe amount of plastic waste that we as a human race produce every single day has become a serious concern in recent years.With over 700animal species living in the sea at the risk of extinction because of the large amount of trash that ends up in their habitats,and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch growing year on year,it has become quite clear to us that we need to change our plastic consumption habits before we end up destroying our oceans.One small step that you can take to help end the plastic problem is to cut down on your consumption of bottled water.It takes an estimated 17 million barrels (桶)of oil per year to produce the bottles in which most commercial water products are packaged,and only 20 percent of them are recycled once they have outlived their usefulness.Americans alone use around 50 billion plastic water bottles per year,with 38 billion of these going to landfill.Thus,an alternative type of packaging needs to be found soon.Well,we have some exciting news on that score! A creative and eatable new "water bubble" called Ooho! designed by the London-based Skipping Rocks Lab,could well be the answer to our prayers.The spherical (球状的)containers are made out of a seaweed-based membrane (薄膜)that can be safely eaten by humans.Their manufacture involves treating spheres of ice with a liquid form of the membrane.When the ice within the membrane melts,you are left with a little ball of watery goodness! When you're ready to drink,you simply break the membrane and take in its contents.The founders of Skipping Rocks Lab outlined their hopes for the product by saying:"Our spherical water container is easy and cheap to make,strong,biodegradable,and can even be eaten.The aim of Ooho! is to provide the convenience of plastic bottles while limiting the environmental impact."So,could their quirky new invention help bring our disastrous plastic epidemic to an end?Only time will tell.18.What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 show?______A. The function of landfills.B. Bad habits of Americans.C. The popularity of bottled water.D. The disadvantages of bottled water.19.What is most special about Ooho!?______A. It is inexpensive.B. It is made of ice,C. It is very convenient to use.D. It is environmentally friendly.20.What does the author think of Ooho!?______A. It still faces many challenges.B. It will become very popular soon,C. It needs to go through the test of time.D. It will replace bottled water gradually.【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】D 【小题3】C【解析】答案:1-3DDC1.D 段落大意题.根据第二段内容可知,你可以采取的帮助解决塑料问题的一个小步骤是减少你的瓶装水的消费.据估计,每年需要1700万桶石油来生产包装大多数商业水产品的瓶子,而且只需要其中20%的废物一旦过期就会被回收.仅美国人每年就会使用大约500亿个塑料水瓶,其中有380亿个将被填埋.因此,很快就需要找到另一种包装.由此可见,本段主要描述了水瓶子的危害.故选D.2.D 细节理解题.根据第三段Well,we have some exciting news on that score! A creative and eatable new "water bubble" called Ooho! designed by the London-based Skipping Rocks Lab,could well be the answer to our prayers.可知好吧,我们有一些令人兴奋的消息!一个有创意的、可食用的新"水泡",叫做!由伦敦的跳岩实验室设计,很可能是我们祈祷的答案.由此可见,Ooho也许就是我们要寻找的环保产品,故选D.3.C观点态度题.根据最后一段So,could their quirky new invention help bring our disastrous plastic epidemic to an end?Only time will tell.可知那么,他们古怪的新发明能帮助我们结束灾难性的塑料传染病吗?只有时间才能告诉我们.由此可见,它需要经受时间的考验.故选C.本文讲述了人类大量使用塑料瓶对环境尤其是海洋生物造成毁灭性的打击,文章提及一项新发明代替塑料瓶,也许是环保的福音.考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.CCyberbullying (网络欺凌)is a common concern for parents who have teenage kids,but parents seem to disagree on which behaviors should be labeled as cyberbullying,a new report suggests.In a survey of a nationally representative sample of about 600 parents of adolescents ages 13 to 17,researchers gave parents four hypothetical scenarios (假设的情节)involving teens.The researchers then asked the parents whether they thought each scenario represented cyberbullying.In one scenario,which involved a student spreading rumors online that another student killed someone at school,65 percent of parents said it was definitely cyberbullying.But in another scenario-which also involved spreading online rumors,but in this case that a student was caught cheating on a test only 43 percent of the parents said it was definitely cyberbullying.In another scenario,63 percent of parents said that electing a certain student to the schooPs Homecoming Queen that was intended as a mean joke was definitely cyberbullying.And 45 percent said that sharing a photo that had been altered to make a classmate look fatter was definitely cyberbullying."Perhaps parents perceive that certain things would be more humiliating (令人感到羞辱的)than other things.This may explain why parent's opinions differ" said Clark,associate director of the National Pool on Children's Health.Between 30 to 50 percent of the parents in the study said they were unsure whether any of the four scenarios represented examples of cyberbullying.However,less than 5 percent said thatany of the scenarios definitely did not represent cyberbullying.Mothers were more likely than fathers to label the scenarios as cyberbullying,the researchers found.However,the researchers did not see differences in the parents' views of the scenarios based on the types of schools their kids were attending (public versus private),or the age of the parents,she said.Growing recognition of the dangers of bullying has prompted calls for tougher laws and school sanctions (处罚),but our survey shows the huge challenge in establishing clear definitions and punishments for cyberbullying.Schools should consider these differing opinions carefully and avoid criminalizing teen behavior that is hard to define.21.What would be the best title for the passage?______A. Ways to deal with cyberbullying.B. Typical examples of cyberbullying.C. Parents disagree on cyberbullying,D. Teenagers are facing cyberbullying.22.Which of the following was considered the least serious ______ .A. Playing a mean joke on a studentB. Posting false pictures of a studentC.

Parents' emotional responseD. Parents' educational background24.What's the author's attitude toward school sanctions?______A. CasualB. CautiousC. OptimisticD. Disapproving 【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】B【解析】答案:1-4CDCB1.C 主旨大意题.根据整篇文章内容可知,本文主要讲述了网络欺凌已经引起家长们的关注,但何种行为称为网络欺凌存在争议.故选C.2.D 细节理解题.根据第三段In one scenario,which involved a student spreading rumors online that another student killed someone at school,65 percent of parents said it was definitely cyberbullying可知,在一个情景中,一名学生在网上散布谣言说另一名学生在学校杀害了人,65%的家长说这肯定是网络欺凌.故选D.3.C 细节理解题.根据第四段"也许父母认为某些事情会比其他事情更丢脸,这也许可以解释为什么父母的观点不同,"国家儿童健康中心副主任克拉克说.由此可见,故选C.4.B 观点态度题.根据最后一段内容可知,越来越多的人认识到欺凌的危险性,因此呼吁制定更严厉的法律和学校制裁,但我们的调查显示,在为网络欺凌制定明确的定义和惩罚方面存在巨大挑战."由此可见,作者的态度是谨慎的,故选B.本文主要讲述了网络欺凌已经引起家长们的关注,但何种行为称为网络欺凌存在争议.考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.DLast weekend,I was watching television with a few friends,browsing the week^ most popular YouTube videos,when apiece in the comedy section called "I Forgot My Phone^ caught my eye.As I was about to click the Play button,a friend warned,"Oh,don't watch that,I saw it yesterday,and it's really sad."The two-minute video,which has been viewed more than 15 million times,begins with a couple in bed.The woman,played by the comedian and actress Charlene DeGuzman,stares silently while her husband checks his smartphone.The subsequent scenes following Ms.DeGuzman through a day that are downright dystopian (反乌托邦式):people ignore her as they stare at their phones during lunch,at a concert,while bowling and at a birthday party.The clip ends with Ms.DeGuzman back in bed with her husband at the end of the day;he is still using his phone.Ms.DeGuzman's video makes for some disturbing viewing.It's a direct hit on our smartphone-obsessed culture,showing our addiction to that little screen and suggesting that maybe life is just better led when it is lived rather than viewed."I came up with the idea for the video when I started to realize how ridiculous we are all being,myself included,when T was at a concert and people around me were recording the show with their phones,not actually watching the concert," Ms.DeGuzman said in an interview."It makes me sad that there are moments in our lives where we're not present because we're looking at a phone,said Ms.DeGuzman,who also wrote the piece,which was directed by Miles Crawford,like it or not,experiencing life through a four-inch screen could be the new norm.Or not.Ms.DeGuzman's video may have landed at one of those cultural moments when people start questioning if something has gone too far and start doing something about it.Last week,the music festival in Poland banned fans from recording the event,saying it did not want "instant documentation" and distractions.In April,during a show in New York City,Karen O,the lead singer of the rock band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs,told audience members to put away their phones.A number of New York restaurants,including Momofuku Ko and Chers Table at BrooklynFare,have prohibited people from photographing their food.And,of course,many mothers and fathers who fought to keep the television out of the kitchen may see smartphones as the next threat to dinnertime civility."Every experience is being mediated and conceived around how it can be captured and augmented (放大)by our devices," said Mathias Crawford,a researcher inhuman-computer interactions and communications at Stanford University."It can be clearly seen in our meals,where every portion-leading up to,during and after a dining experience - is being carved out by particular Apps." People make dinner reservations on Open Table;check in on Foursquare when they arrive at the restaurant;take a picture of their food to share on Instagram (抓拍);post on Twitter a joke they hear during the meal;review the restaurant on Yelp;then,finally,coordinate a ride home using Uber."If you're wondering when people are going to reject the phone,that will mean they need to reject Silicon Valley's entire concept of how you ought to be dining," Mr.Crawford said.But,he added,it was possible."Yes,society is changing,but the IPhone is only really six years old,and those changes aren't set in place." Given the overwhelming response to Ms.DeGuzman's video,people are at least thinking about those changes.Ms.DeGuzman said."I still have my phone with me,but I try to leave it in my purse.NowI find myself just taking in a moment,and I don't have to post a picture on the Internet."25.The video I Forgot My Phone is used to ______ .A. entertain readersB. reflect a social phenomenonC. show Ms Deguzman's popularityD. describe a person's ordinary day26.What did the writer think of Ms Deguzman's video?______A. It was an escape from reality.B. It was a commercial success.C. It was ridiculous.D. It was upsetting.27.The underlined part "smartphone-obsessed culture" in Paragraph 3 refers to a culture inwhich ______ .A. people become slaves to smartphonesB. there is a rising market in smartphonesC. people change their smartphones frequentlyD. smartphones are easily available to everybody28.Examples in Paragraph 6are mentioned to show that ______ .A. people nowadays are more willing to share through mobile devicesB. many people are becoming aware of the problem brought about by smartphonesC. people nowadays are more likely to get distracted by their surroundingsD. live shows and restaurants have captured the lions share of the US market29.What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?______A. Silicon valley's entire concept is outdated,B. Dining in attractive surroundings is a great pleasure.C. Changes in attitudes towards smartphones are on the way.D.
