The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down ge neration” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you wouldsay?Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”, who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after- class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.With these taken into account, does the face down generation need a warning? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be enthusiastic and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there are reasons to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud).24.Which of the following words EXCEPT can be used to describe the oh-ohs? A．Creative B．Caring. C．Independent D．Smart25.What does the underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Parents who are rich and travel by helicopterB.Parents who always watch over their childrenC.Parents who have a very busy schedule.D.Parents who only turn up when necessary.26．What can we learn from the passage?A.The writer is a member of the face-down generation.B.The writer is positive about the future of the oh-ohs.C.The oh-ohs are better-looking than their parents.D.The oh-ohs care about nothing other than their phones.CMy mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症)last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now changed—my mother became my child, and Ibecame her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients. When I visit her, feeling busy and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. But when I appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy. This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.I always thought I was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”. With my mother I can now really be tolerant. Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness(不得体). Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t hurt anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.I have als o learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it. They are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter. The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m feeling unbearabl e, but that they take care of my mother on their own actively. They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that it’s all worth it.27.Which of the following is common behavior ofAlzheimer's patients?A Curiosity about everythingB Sensitivity to others' moodsC.Fear of strange peopleD.Quick reaction.28.The underlined word overwhelmed "in the last paragraph is closest in meaning toA. concernedB. scaredC. embarrassedD. stressed29.We can infer from the passage thatA.the writer accepted the role change immediatelyB.the writer only paid attention to her mother's feelingsC.The writer has a great sense of responsibilityD the daughters took over the responsibility to look after their grandmother30.This passage is mainly aboutA.how I cared for my sick motherB.how I became more tolerantC.what I have learned from my mother's illnessD.why I am feeling overwhelmedDWe lead very busy lives and we too easily forget how hard it was for us to focus on homework when we were in school. Now that we have jobs to do, food to buy and cook and other errands to run, even I sometimes think it would be a welcome change to have to sit down and quietly read and write with no distractions. But in case you don’t remember —— homework is pretty much everychild's least favorite thing to do. In the age of Netflix, Snapchat and wifi, the distractions are almost endless. It can sometimes almost be too hard to even keep up with all the new tech advances our kids are using, so how can we make sure that those advances take a back seat to our children's education? Here are some ideas.There's no point in stopping the reality that young people are going to focus on their phones and tablets instead of other things at times. Your best way is to accept, actually the tech sector continues to be the most profitable and fast-growing industries and that's unlikely to change fast. There are ways to use technology to help your kid do homework. Ask your teacher and school staff what apps and websites they’re using to teach lessons and supplements（补充）them with at-home activities as well.Even though technology has changed, the basics haven't. If you want to read, write and think properly, you need to have peace and quiet and the ability to focus, right? Well, your kids are just the same, Try and find a space in your home to enable your kids to do work away from televisions, the Internet or other distractions. Let me be clear: this shouldn't be a prison. I feel like I'm my most productive working alone in an office or at a busy cafe with my headphones on, Getting lost in other realities helps my creativity grow. Placing kids in isolation (独处) can often have a harmful effect and doesn't always equal being more productive.I feel like "getting engaged (参与) "is always a big part of my advice for parents on just about everything. How can you make sure your children are being successful if you have no idea what they're doing? How can you be sure they're doing it right if you don't know what is the correct answer? What do they need? You should be in touch with their teachers have a sense of where the lessons are going, what kinds of tasks are being given and what success looks like in the classroom, Knowing all of that is key to your child's success, especially when matched with some encouraging praise and helpful tips on how he can keep going. Thinking about how your child is best motivated (激励) by other things and using those methods here reasonably isn't a bad idea.And if by chance you’re having trouble solving that Math problems or understanding a sentence, don't fear —— you're not alone. Use the school staff, other parents and friends as your support. Better to seek help than do nothing.We all know that homework isn't exactly the most entertaining way anyone spends their time and sometimes we can't help but feel that since we left school, we're done with homework forever. But the circle of life plays out in all times and it's up to us to make sure that we pass on the lessons we've picked up and that while homework might seem dull. It's how we build skills, learn real lessons and get on the road to greatness. That greatness is on the inside, it's up to us as adults to enable the young people to bring it out. The key to achieving greatness is to take a lifelong learning.31.What is the author's attitude towards new tech?A.It affects parents’ everyday life.B.It should be kept out of children's reach.C.It can benefit student's education.D.It makes homework easier.32.Which of the following ideas might the author agree with?A.Homework should be made entertaining.B.Parents should know what motivates their children best.C.Students should do their homework independently.D.School staff should help parents on n ew tech.33.While parents get engaged in their children's homework, theyA.Must be better at all the lessons.B.Needn't make sure that their children are being successful.C.can teach their children by themselves.D.should know as much as possible about it.34.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Children should achieve greatness on their own.B.Parents and their children should learn from each other.C.Children can hardly succeed without parents efforts.D.Parents can only obtain skills by helping their children.35.Which section of a magazine is this passage most probably taken from?cationB.HealthC.Technology.D.Science.第二节：七选五（共5 小题：每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They are about four inches taller, too. These facts come from J. M. Tanner, a professor in England.J. M. T anner has been measuring people from all over the world. He has also studied people's growth records of the past 100 years."Kids today are bigger than ever before," he says. "Today's nine-year-olds look like eleven-year-oldsback in 1900."According to T anner, adults also are taller than ever before. But the biggest change can be seen in young people. That's because boys used to keep on growing until they reached age 26. But today they stop growing at 18 or 19. Most girls stop growing even earlier. So today's teenagers are bigger than 26-year-olds were 60 years ago.What is causing this change? Professor T anner says it's proper food. A good diet alone cannot makeyou grow beyond your natural limits. Y our final height is partly caused by the height of your parents and grandparents. But eating proper food can help you reach your final height--and reach it early in life.Will people keep on getting bigger? Will we have a race of giants? NO--at least not if the U.S.is an example. T anner says that we have eaten proper food for years, and our growth rate has already begun to level off.51.This article is mainly about ______.A.the improvement of teenager’s tastesB.the improvement of teenager’s dietC.the change of teenager’s behaviorD.the change of teenager’s shape52.The statement that proves that teenagers have a new shape these days is that ______.A.J. M. T anner has been measuring people from all over the worldB.according to T anner, adults are also taller than ever beforeC.teenagers are heavier and taller than they were 60 years agoD.they stop growing at 18 or 19BT eotihuacan was once one of the world’s most important cities, but many things about it are still unknowntoday. How did the people live, and why did they abandon(放弃) their city? For years, answers to some of those questions have been buried in the Pyramid of the Moon. Now, findings in this ancient structure are4helping archeologists learn more about T eotihuacan’s people and their culture.Until recently many experts thought T eotihuacan was peaceful society mostly ruled by gentle and wise leaders. But recent findings in the Pyramid of the Moon shows something else. Archeologists discovered a number of headless bodies. Most were foreigners, and other objects of power. Clearly the people and objects found inside the pyramid were offerings to gods.However, the findings in the pyramid are difficult to interpret. “These findings are like sentences,” says archeologist Leonardo Lopez Lujan, “but we don’t have all the words… so they’re hard to read.” Despite these problems, several archeologists have concluded this: T eotihuacan was not a society governed by peaceful rulers. In reality, officials used human sacrifice(祭品), says archeologist Saburo Sugiyama, “to control the people”. The city probably also had a powerful army.Who were the city leaders? Scientists don’t know. They have not found a king buried in the pyramid or any status ofT eotihuacan’s rulers. But archeologists continue to search for them. They hope to learn more about the pyramid’s creators and one of the world’s most powerful ancient cities.53.What is this passage mainly about?A.Discoveries in the Pyramid of the Moon.B.An ancient leader who had the Pyramid of the Moon built.C.Why the people of T eotihuacan abandoned their city.D.How the Pyramid of the Moon was built in T eotihuacan54.Which of the following have NOT been found in the Pyramid of the Moon?A. W eaponsB. The bodied of kingsC. Animal bonesD. Human bones55.The underlined word “interpret” in Paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to _____.A. createB. discoverC. imagineD. explain56.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The people and animals in the pyramid died of disease.B.Most of the dead bodied in the pyramid were the T eotihuacan’s people.C.Rulers sacrificed humans to control the T eotihuacan’s people.D.T eotihuacan had a powerful army led by gentle and wise leaders.CMartin was feeling out of breath. However, he knew he could not stop running. Otherwise, he wouldbe caught, which would mean returning to the days of losing his freedom. However, the setting sun as well as his unfamiliarity of the forest held back his efforts. Martin knew he could not continue running forever.5He urged himself on, trying to find a hiding place to escape being caught.Just then, Martin spotted a large sturdy tree in front of him. Not hesitating（迟疑）further, he used whatever strength he had left to pull himself up. He settled himself on a branch on the middle of the treeand waited, willing his heavy breath to be as inaudible as possible. A few moments later, he heard thesound of approaching footsteps. Martin held his breath and closed his eyes, praying that they would move on.“Where could that boy have gone? W e can’t let him escape! W e will get punished!” said one of thefigures.“He can’t run all night. Come on, let’s go this way and see,” urged another as the group ran ahead. Martin felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. However, he knew it was too early to celebrate just yet.After waiting for some time, he climbed down the tree and headed in another direction. He knew he wouldbe safe only when he reached the border of the neighboring land.As Martin continued his journey under the moonless night, he was struck by how silent the forest was.This seemed very strange. He did not even hear any insects. Suddenly, he saw a flash of light in front of him. He instinctively crouched（蜷缩）to the ground. His heart was beating very fast. Who was it?“Martin! Is that you?” he heard a voice call out.Martin recognized the voice. He felt a sense of relief（放心）as a slight smile appeared on his face. Somehow, he no longer felt as weary as before.57.According to Paragraph 1, why didn’t Martin stop running?A. The sun was settingB. He was out of breathC. He did not want to be caught.D. He was not familiar with the forest.58.Why didn’t Martin “celebrate just yet”(Paragraph 5)?A. He had wasted a lot of time.B. He knew he was not safe yet.C. His shoulders were very heavyD. He had run in the wrong direction.59.What does “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The night being moonless.B. The forest being very silent.C. The lack of insects in the forest.D. The flash of light in front of him.60.Why did Martin smile in the end?A. He heard a voice calling him.B. His heart was beating very fast.C. He did not feel tired any longer.D. He recognized the person before him.6第四部分（满分35分）一、阅读问答（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）①“Hello” is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello. It is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change — how might we change — if we mastered this word? T o find out, I spent one month saying hello to every personI met. Here’s what I’ve learned.②It can boost（促进）productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation (参与) and better grades.③Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were more likely to kiss one’s hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant one. My experience was similar. Whateverthe reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello to each other. After a month of doing it,I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.1.What does the author think of adults according to Paragraph1?2.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragragh3 into Chinese.3.Three effects of smiling on health are: (1) ___________ (2) _____________ (3) _____________4.At the beginning of paragraph can the sentence “It can improve performance.” be put?5.Write down the meaning of the u nderlined word “well-being” in English?二．任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）How to T ake a NapWhether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap habit—or continuing to make time forone—is a smart, healthy move. Consider the evidence: The Mayo Clinic says naps promote relaxation, reduce tiredness, better mood and recover alertness(机敏). A 2010 British study found that compared togetting more nighttime sleep or drinking more coffee, a mid-day nap was the best way to cope with the mid-afternoon slump(萎靡).The Harvard Health Letter says that several studies have shown that people remember new informationbetter when they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, unbelievably, a 2007 study of nearly 24, 000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn’t nap.T o get the most out of your rest, follow these tips.How long to sleep: Naps provide different benefits depending on how long they are, says . A 20-minute nap will promote alertness and concentration; a 90-minute nap which includes deeper stages of sleep, can strengthen creativity. The danger zone is when you’re somewhere in between, because waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle can lead to sleep inertia(惯性). So stick to 20 or 90 minutes for maximumbenefits. If you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, it’s likely that your timing was just off.What time to sleep: Prevention. com says that you experience a natural dip in body temperature(the same kind that makes you feel sleepy at night) between 1 pm and 3 pm. A power nap at this time can promote alertness for several hours and, for most people, won’t affect being abl e to fall asleep at night.How to get comfortable: MentalFloss. com says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting upthan lying down. (That’s why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains!) Pick a dark, cozy place that’s not too warm or too chilly. Prevention. com recommends napping on the couch instead of in bed, so you won’t snooze for too long. Surprisingly, the best place to sleep may be a hammock(吊床) if you have one. A Swiss study publishedlast year found that people fell asleep faster and had deeper sleep when they napped in a hammock than in a bed. That same rocking motion that causes babies to sleep works wonders for grown-ups, too.Consider a “caffeine nap”:It sounds strange, but drinking coffee right before a nap may be the perfect aidfor maximum alertness. Since caffeine takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect, you’ll feel even more alert after your 20-minute nap.8来Com]Tips[来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K]Tips How much(5)______to sleep·A nap between 20 to 90 minutes is suitable for you.·If you feel confused or more tired, (6)______ are your timing was just off.

I was then in 9th grade when my mathematics teacher asked me to take on a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the entire teaching process. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.After my post-graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me with the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. I always wanted to connect with a wider group of people. In fact, I felt it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a lecturer, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that giving lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before I went to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam.”To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences andnew questions. I loved to explore their young minds and read their inquisitive (询问的) faces when a particular topic seemed hard. It was extremely challenging to motivate them to participate, think critically, question and also respect others’ points of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was extremely exciting to make them believe that they really can. That is the reason I love to teach.4. From the first paragraph we know that____.A. the author's math teacher was often away from workB. the author became a real teacher in 9th gradeC. the author joined the teaching profession because she had toD. a great many questions were put forward by the author's “students”5. When the author worked as a software developer, she might feel______.A. interestedB. dissatisfiedC. nervousD. proud6. What can we learn about the author?A. She liked the students most who often challenged her to read.B. She was too nervous to speak a word in her first class.C. New feelings, experiences and questions made her feel each day new.D. She was unwilling to solve her students' questions out of her domain.7. What would be the best title for this text?A. Why I Love to TeachB. What My Life Is LikeC. How I Was Chosen as a LecturerD. My First Lesson as a TeacherCMore Americans expect to work past their 65th birthdays and never retire, says a recent study.The Associated Press with the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research surveyed 1,075 people, who were aged 50 and older. One-fourth of them said they never plan to retire. Among low-income earners in that age group this is even more true than for high-income earners.In America, the age of 65 is the traditional age to retire. Sixty percent of people aged 50 to 64 said they expect to work past their 65th birthday. More than half ofthose who are already older than 65 said they plan to keep working, too. They say they are working an average of 31 hours per week.Those 50 years of age or older said finances (财务) are the most important factor in the decision on when to retire. A majority of older workers — especially those who are 65 and older — plan to change their employers, or move into an entirely new profession, as they head into the later years.One-third of people earning less than $50,000 a year said they will keep working. About 20 percent of those who earn more than $100,000 said they will never retire.As baby boomers — people born between 1946 and 1964 — reach age 65, the United States’ general population will have more older people than ever before. The number of Americans 65 and older jumped 21 percent — or to 35.5 million —between 2002 and 2012. That number is expected to reach 92 million by 2060.8. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1&2 ?A. Low-income earners were more willing to continue working.B. High-income earners were not willing to work past 65.C. 1,075 people who were 50 took part in the study.D. Americans were not sure when to retire.9. Which of the following might most probably affect Americans’ retirement age?A. Their decision.B. Working hours.C. The money that they make.D. The traditional age to retire.10. What would happen in the career of most older workers?A. They would be paid less.B. They would change their jobs.C. They would earn more money.D. They would have a talk with employers.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. America will have more older people.B. Older Americans have to work past 65.C. American people will have new jobs after 65.D. More Americans choose to work for more years.DDon’t be afraid! We are not encouraging people to steal. It’s one of the most popular topics currently talked about by people in cities, together with，“How many vegetables did you steal today?” or, “It’s harvest time for your peaches,” and，“I bought you a new car today.”Listening to a conversation like this, you do not have to feel strange. These people don’t really have their own farms or so much money that they can casually (随意地) buy someone else a car.They are just playing games on Social Networking Sites(SNS) like. Can you imagine millions of people in China spending lots of time on SNS playing games and talking to friends? This is especially true of white-collar workers in cities. Take for example — the number of current members has already hit 38 million.However, the large number of people using SNS highlights another problem. That is, lots of people choose to escape from reality. NSN just offers them a virtual(虚拟的) environment where they can escape from reality.Different games provide netizens with different experiences: dreaming, chatting and playing. It offers people the opportunity to escape from reality. But the virtual world is not the real one; no one can live in it forever, and reality is not as surfing on the Internet.Since this kind of social networking sites have become so popular, people have started to think about moving it into the real world. And as far as we know, a farmland of this kind exists in Shanghai where it has reached its first base.After playing the “Happy Farm” ga me on , would you like to put yourself among the real world while smelling the fragrances (芳香) of the countryside? Recently a farmland service called “Happy Farm in Reality” was opened in the suburbs of Shanghai where white-collar workers can experience the real farmers’ life for themselves.12. What’s the writer’s purpose for the first paragraph?A. To encourage readers to be brave.B. To tell the readers not to steal.C. To tell the readers some shocking news.D. To introduce some game.13. W hat does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The real world.B. Farmland in Shanghai.C. The virtual world.D. An expensive car.14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Millions of people in China are spending lots of time on SNS.B. People steal vegetables on SNS for a living.C. Lots of people play games on SNS to escape from reality.D. White-collar workers can have the real farmers’ life.15. You can find the passage in the part of a newspaper.A. politicsB. entertainmentC. economyD. sports第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before. With a great “ah ha”, he returned to donkey number ten,and just after a simple movement the donkey happily walked with him to the field.24. What was the farmer’s problem when he tied the donkey?A.

Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyone’s life, ” she says.Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C. By comparisonD.By example.33.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.34.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C.Few Italians take short breaks from work for coffee.D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.35.What does the author think of Italian coffee?A.She loves its bitter taste.B.It is too expensive for her.C.The cup it is served in is too small.D.It is a good choice for breakfast.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
2020-2021学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题(含答案)
2020-2021学年度第一学期高一年级期中考试英语试题（含答案）试卷说明：满分150分；考试时间：120分钟；试题难度：0.6-0.7第一部分阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)第一节阅读阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)。
AThese people are studying English. However, they are now facing some problems.I am Pablo. I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver, so I talk with people all day. They understand me, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. No one corrects me. My vocabulary is strong. Grammar is my problem. I’m trying to change little by little. For example, I don’t use the past tense.I always say, “I drive him to the office this morning” instead of “I drove him to the office this morning”.My name is Maria Luisa. I’m teaching myself English, and I’m good at grammar. However, it’s really difficult to find ways to practice English. I live in an area where everyone speaks my language. My neighbours and friends speak Spanish. I can speak Spanish in the supermarket and at the post office.I am Li Ping. I understand the grammar and the readings in my class and I think my writing is good, but I’m very nervous when I speak English. I don’t want to make any mistakes because I’m afraid people will think that I’m stupid. Also, my pronunciation isn’t good. When I speak, people often say, “What? Say that again. ”I am Yoshi. I have been in the United States for one year. I’m studying hard and I know grammar well, but the vocabulary is very difficult. When I listen, I don’t understand many of the words. When I try to read, there are three or four new words in every sentence. I feel discouraged.1. What would be the best advice for Maria Luisa?A. Try to have a wide vocabulary.B. Make friends with English-speaking people.C. Read as many English books as possible.D. Develop a good knowledge of grammar.2. Why do people find it hard to understand Li Ping’s English?A. Her voice is very low.B. Her grammar is terrible.C. She can’t pronounce words correctly.D. She speaks at a very fast speed.3. What can we learn about Yoshi?A. He has a very small vocabulary.B. He is very good at listening.C. He has learned English for years.D. He was born in the United States.BParents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut. ”Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (思想的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.4. “The door to his room is always shut. ” suggests that the son ______.A. dislikes to open his doorB. begins to hate his parentsC. is always busy with his studiesD. keeps himself away from his parents5. What troubles Tina and Mark most?A. Their daughter isn’t as lovely as before.B. They can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly.C. They don’t know what to say to their daughter.D. Their daughter talks with them only when she needs money.6. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.7. What can we learn from the passage?A. Parents are patient with their silent teenagers.B. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.C. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.D. Parents should have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.CTwo weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.“That aroused my curiosity,” Jackie told CBS News. “Nobody messes with the piggy bank.” After observing Sunshine work a few minutes longer, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings.“What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter.“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk—hermom doesn’t have milk money but I have. ”Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 that Sunshine had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs﹩0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about﹩180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate towards the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1, 000.

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 MarieCaroline Madeleine told AFP. “It's hard with kids. You can't control what they see and that's one of the things that worries 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 had been a success.McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for daytoday 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 positives．“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 screens,” 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 DrJoanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it's important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.“A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response (反应) to a 2018 stateofplay.”12．Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?A．School is for studying. B．Kids behave badly nowadays. C．Teachers find it hard to control kids. D．Her kids depend too much on phones. 13．What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?A．Some teachers were against it at first.B．Students can now see the good of the ban.C．Students can use their phones at lunch breaks.D．Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.14．What does the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A．A book.B．A notebook. C．A learning website.D．A kind of computer. 15．What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?A．It will disconnect parents and kids.B．It will cause kids to communicate less.C．It will prevent kids being techminded.D．It will make education go back 60 years.第二节七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C. By comparisonD.By example.33.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.34.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C.Few Italians take short breaks from work for coffee.D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.35.What does the author think of Italian coffee?A.She loves its bitter taste.B.It is too expensive for her.C.The cup it is served in is too small.D.It is a good choice for breakfast.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
