2024-2025初中英语九年级上册期末必刷 阅读理解专项练习30篇 附答案及解析 Recently, some people have complained about the purposefully addictive (上瘾的) designs of smartphones and social media, which make it hard for anyone to put them down, especially teens. Now, a new report in Emotion gives facts that back up what these people said. According to the report, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness have dropped since 2012, the year the percentage of teens owning smartphones started increasing rapidly. The report also finds that teens’ psychological (心理的) health gets worse the more hours a week they spend on screens.   Jean Twenge is the lead writer of the report. She graphed (制图) the connection between happiness and screen activities, such as social media, texting, gaming, and video chats. She also graphed the connection between happiness and non-screen activities, including sports, reading, and face-to-face communications. She called the relationship between screen and non-screen activities “zero sum”—if you are doing one, it takes time away from the others. Diane Tanman complains that her sons are like that. They are 11 and 15. They used to play games in fields, and it made them happier. These days, her sons are more into online games. Many of the games have rewards (奖励) built in to keep players coming back. “It’s just junk food for the brain,” Tanman said. Ed Lazzara says his 12-year-old son Leo is a fan of video games. After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games. However, totally staying away from electronic devices (设备) doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily. After a daily hour of screen time, unhappiness rises in relation to increasing screen time. Spending time in front of a screen is a normal part of being a teenager. Many schools require students to be online and to use iPads or other devices to do their work. But teachers and parents have also complained that technology can get in the way of learning when teens use their devices for things other than their studies. If we recognize how screen time influences young minds, we can help teens use technology better and protect their psychological health in the process. Screen time is like ice cream. Sure, we can have some once in a while, but it shouldn’t be part of our everyday lives. 1．What can we learn from the passage? A．Screen time at home is not as beneficial as screen time at school. B．Nearly an hour of screen time every day makes teens happiest. C．Technology should be encouraged in classroom learning. D．What teens do on the screen influences their happiness. 2．Why does the passage give the examples of families with teens? A．To prove the bad effect of the addictive designs of electronic devices. B．To show parents have little control over their teens’ screen time. C．To compare different-aged teens’ feelings about screen use. D．To explain why electronic devices make teens feel happy. 3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Use of Electronic Devices: Should We Consider Teens’ Needs? B．Teens’ Psychological Health: Why Is It Important? C．Screen Time and Teens’ Study Performance D．Screen Time and Teens’ Life Satisfaction We all love our parents: our parents love us too. Things, however, can still be wrong if both parents and children are not used to their ways of expressing love in the right way. With parent-children relationships, the importance of it is even more. Different people have different ways of expressing love. The way someone expresses love is referred to as the language of love. In the book The Five Love Languages, the writer Gary Chapman states the five key love languages people use are: words of affirmation (肯定), quality time (spent together), receiving gifts, acts of service and physical touch. Being brought up in a different generation, it’s not surprising to know our language of love is likely different from our parents’. For example, my parents express their love by acts of service. They like to do things for me. For me, I express love by giving words of affirmation. I also use other ways to express my love, but communicating in the form of words is the primary method I use. I’m always telling them how much I love them. This difference created a big rift between us at the beginning. I would try to communicate with them, but get nothing in return. In turn, they kept trying to do things like buying food for me and cooking for me, but I would be impatient of their preference for food. It wasn’t until I recognized their underlying intentions(意图) that things changed. What do you think represents love to your parents? Rather than “speak” to your parents in your language of love, speak to them in their language of love. This means if their language of love is quality time together, then spend more time with them. If their language of love is receiving gifts, then buy a small gift that means something to both of you. If their language of love is words of affirmation, give them a compliment(称赞). They will be able to recognize your intentions more easily that way, and accept them more readily. Don’t force them to accept a language they cannot recognize. An example would be to insist on hugging them when they’re clearly uncomfortable with the idea. While you may have the best intentions, you just force them to accept your beliefs. Learn to “speak” to them in their language, not in your language. You’ll get much better and faster results this way. 4．According to the passage, parent-children relationships may be better if ________. A．parents and children love each other B．parents try to offer good services for children C．parents can communicate in different languages D．parents and children use the right way of expressing love 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．The writer and his parents like the same kind of food. B．Children’s language of love is similar to their parents’. C．The writer expressed love in speech more than in action. D．Parents can easily accept the way their children show love. 6．The words “created a big rift” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________. A．built a close relationship B．caused a serious disagreement C．developed a long silence D．cleared up a great misunderstanding 7．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To suggest a way of showing love to parents. B．To introduce a book and five key love languages. C．To share his personal experience of expressing love. D．To explain how to recognize parents’ language of love. Avoid conflicts with I-statements It’s easy to point fingers when in a heated conversation. Wouldn’t it be great to change the direction of it and avoid conflicts（冲突）with one word? It’s possible. Conflicts often start and become worse by our choice of words. Words like “You are so…” or “How could you…?” start conversations on a bad note. Instead, start with an “I” and center on your thoughts and feelings about the matter. Dr. Thomas Gordon coined the term I-message in the 1960s. I-message also known as I-statement is a form of sentence meant for expressing your thoughts without criticizing others. I-statements enable you to express your opinion without using upsetting language. For example, “I forgot to ask you for directions after you invited me to come,” is better than “You invited me so you should’ve given me the directions.” In this way, you avoid getting into an argument with others or directly pointing out the other person’s mistake. Also, you carefully make them realize what’s going on, showing them how the situation makes you feel. Doing so clears up things, and you can finally have a meaningful, two-way conversation. I-statements are useful in any conversation when you want to tell your side of the story in a more agreeable and reasonable way. Using an I-statement can also lead to necessary changes and even add warmth to your relationships. Strangers you come across will find you pleasant and considerate. You and your friends will continue to build trust in each other. Yet not all statements（陈述）that begin with “I”are effective in avoiding conflicts. For example, “I feel like you’re responsible for this,” is as upsetting as “You’re wrong.” Thomas Gordon also said that to successfully use an I-statement, your words should match your tone（语调）, facial expressions, body language, and how you feel. What’s more, an I-statement also has its drawbacks. The repeated use of  “I” can make you appear self-centered, especially in some cultures. Some may even think you’re weak and unable to understand opinions that aren’t yours. You have to be careful not to use the I-statement in a manner that destroys your effort to politely voice your real intention（意图）. All in all, correctly using the I-statement in conversations is a good way to avoid misunderstandings. By addressing a matter with vulnerability instead of immediately holding the other person responsible, you can keep respect and trust in your relationships. Whether it involves a classmate or a family member, expressing yourself well is key. Practice using I-statements effectively and you’ll be amazed how something so simple can make a huge difference in your social life. 8．When you use an I-statement in a conversation, you ________. A．calmly point fingers without voicing your opinion B．directly get into an argument with the other person C．unknowingly change your thoughts about the matter D．carefully express yourself to avoid misunderstandings 9．According to the passage, which of these statements would help you avoid conflicts? ________ A．You should book a table earlier. B．You never allow me to do anything fun. C．I get nervous when you raise your voice. D．I think you always make decisions without me. 10．The word “vulnerability” in the last paragraph probably means “ ________ ”. A．great eagerness to be right B．readiness to give up C．willingness to examine yourself D．a shortage of confidence 11．The writer would probably agree that ________. A．I-statements show one’s inability to understand others B．I-statements should be avoided in order not to appear self-centered C．using I-statements can surely result in perfect two-way communication D．using I-statements properly leads to improvements in one’s relationships In a recent study in the U. S. and U. K., Van Tilburg and his team asked people through online surveys to describe the characteristics of a boring person according to someone they knew. Being dull and quiet, having no interests, no opinions and lacking（缺乏）a sense of humor are often mentioned. The researchers then followed up with additional surveys. The results clearly suggest that being considered boring is a negative（负面的）personality characteristic, and is often tied to introversion（内向）. So why are introverts sometimes seen as boring? Maybe because quiet people value their privacy and avoid sharing their everyday life. Their behavior is the opposite of the preference in a culture towards extroversion（外向）. This preference leads to a fixed idea that “quiet” means “boring”, and it reflects a push toward uncontrolled extroversion—just think about people crazily posting nearly everything on social media of their life and activities to attract attention. Another research argued that it might be problematic to overvalue extroversion as more socially preferred than introversion. This wrong idea might start from teenage years when we think having the most friends and being the best-liked means being popular. This type of everyone-agreed popularity may make quiet people see their lack of extroversion as a deficit. In fact, introverts tend to have the “quiet ego（自我）”, which allows them to have the ability to put themselves in other people’s shoes and understand situations from a bigger picture. According to researchers Bauer and Wayment, the quiet ego is a way of explaining the self that goes beyond being “self-centered” by considering both self and others. The quiet ego helps introverts to balance self-focused values, like power and achievement, and other-focused values, such as kindness and care for others. Balancing both values can lead to psychological well-being and life satisfaction. Generalizing introverted people with negative characteristics is false and harmful because introversion can carry many positive influences. In fact, an introverted style can be a strength. This is because introverts are likely to be truer to themselves than extroverts. Moreover, accepting their introversion as a benefit would in turn improve their sense of happiness. There can be a joy to being “boring” that can go along with a quiet, introverted personality. 12．Introverted people are often seen as boring because ________. A．they have no interest in pleasing others B．they refuse to express their ideas in public C．their sense of humor is often difficult to get D．their behavior goes against cultural preference 13．The word “deficit” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A．mistake B．weakness C．symbol D．talent 14．The writer would probably agree that ________. A．extroversion is more socially beneficial B．introversion usually leads to unhappiness C．being extroverted makes people truer to others D．introverted people are likely to get life satisfaction 15．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To correct a false idea about introversion. B．To discuss different causes of introversion. C．To explain why introverted people are quieter. D．To compare self-focused and other-focused values. There are a few cultural celebrations all over the country that are worth attending while you are in England! Here are four for your list. Notting Hill Carnival This is one of the biggest street festivals in Europe. It takes place on Sunday and Monday at the end of August. It was first held back in 1964 by a woman named Rhaune Laslett who wanted to bring together different classes of people in the city. It soon became a big celebration of the Caribbean (加勒比的) culture in London has continued to grow. This colorful has lots of dancing, live music and delicious food! Bonfire Night On November 5, 1604, a man by the name of Guy Fawkes tried to kill King James I. Now, on this day each year, people of the UK celebrate his failed action. To celebrate, locals will light fire all around the city. Chinese New Year Did you know that outside of Asia, London has the largest Chinese New Year celebrations? The celebrations take place in Chinatown, Trafalgar Square and across the West End. A parade (游行) begins on Charing Cross Road and makes its way down Shaftesbury Avenue to Chinatown.

Suddenly you start to wonder why you are not doing those things. Are you missing out on something fun or exciting? This experience is known as FOMO—the fear of missing out. In some ways, people have always been worried about missing out on social events. But with the rise of social media, FOMO is becoming much more common. While wanting to take part in exciting things is completely normal, it can bring about some negative (负面的) effects. For some people, it leads to an obsession (沉迷) with checking their phones to find out what other people are doing. Even while doing things that are fun or necessary, people can feel like there’s something better going on elsewhere. This strong wish to connect can make them disconnect from the people they are actually with. It stops them from being satisfied with the good things in their lives. It can even be dangerous; some people try to check messages while driving. So what can we do to overcome FOMO? Firstly, it is important to remember that what people prefer to pick and choose to post on social media doesn’t necessarily show their life overall, so we only know a small part of anyone else’s life. It is also important to accept your limitations. You can’t be everywhere and do everything that might be interesting, and that’s OK. It might even be necessary to turn off your phone or log out of social media for a while. Stay away from the constant reminders of everything that’s happening in the world. You can even set particular times in your day to check email or social media. By stepping away for a time, you can view others’ lives in a reasonable way. Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Relish them, do them well and let everything else go. When you are fully involved in life, you will worry less about what you are not doing. Don’t let the fear of missing out cause you to miss out on the good things you have in life. Relax, enjoy what you do and let other people enjoy their lives without envying (羡慕，嫉妒) them. 24．Experiencing FOMO, people may ________. A．like to drive fast B．miss out on social events C．prefer to stay alone D．be unsatisfied with real life 25．What does the underlined word “relish” probably mean? A．Break. B．Change. C．Enjoy. D．Remember. 26．According to the passage, what can help people overcome FOMO? A．Breaking their own limitations. B．Staying away from social media. C．Making friends as many as possible. D．Checking social media at particular times. If we compare active listening with passive listening, is one better than the other? As we will find one is better than the other for many situations but not necessarily all. Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires people pay all their attention to someone else. A necessary part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices (偏见) and strong wishes, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. That means if you want to listen well you should have a short acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be completed only by the will to improve oneself for the growth of each other. Most of the time, we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain expected results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear. It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is always therapeutic (有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy (心理疗法), before any of the causes of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this experience, but the most important among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever. 27．Why do many people listen passively? A．Because listening passively is better than listening actively. B．Because they like to pay attention to what they are talking. C．Because they are not willing to speak to others patiently. D．Because they don’t want to care what they are listening. 28．The word “temporary” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．happening immediately B．lasting for a short time C．having no reasons D．trying your best 29．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．people always listened actively to make work easily B．people often listen purposefully in communication C．people like to set aside their prejudices to listen well D．people are willing to open up their mind while listening 30．What can we learn from this passage? A．The doctor realized that patients needed to be truly listened. B．The patients could be better soon if they were taken good care of. C．True communication needs speakers to accept other person’s ideas. D．Most people do not listen well because listening is a passive process. Most of us have three meals a day. We take food for granted. And we don’t think about it. But experts argue that a food crisis is coming. This crisis is going to make us change the way we think about food. Food is in great need because of the growing world population. By 1960, the population was three billion. It doubled to six billion by 1999. By 2050, the food prices will get higher and higher. So, what can a hungry, crowded world do? One suggestion is to eat less meat. Meat uses more natural resources (资源，谷物). It requires more land to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more water than vegetables. So, eating less meat will provide more land for farming, and it will save water. To eat less meat, people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be easy. Americans, for example, they eat twice as much meat as people in other countries. At the same time, in developing countries like China and Brazil, demanding for meat will continue to put pressure on natural resources. World population is increasing, resources are becoming fewer, and food prices are rising. Therefore, we don’t need to give up meat completely. But we need to eat more grains and less meat. 31．The underlined word “crisis” probably means ________ in Chinese. A．种植 B．营养 C．危机 D．改善 32．Food is in great need because ________ according to the passage. A．the world’s population is bigger B．the world’s population is smaller C．people have no land to plant food D．people don’t want to plant food 33．Eating less meat will use ________. A．more land and more water B．less land and less water C．less land but more water D．more land but less water 34．Americans eat ________ as much meat as people in other countries. A．once B．twice C．five times D．ten times 35．This passage is mainly talking about ________. A．what a food crisis is B．how the world’s population increases C．how much meat people eat D．how to deal with the food crisis People often say, “You can’t live only on air.” But Chinese scientists can now tell you: Maybe you can. Scientists from Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a big breakthrough. They have turned carbon dioxide (CO2, 二氧化碳), the “infamous” (声名狼藉的) greenhouse gas, into starch (淀粉). Starch is the main part of the flour, rice and corn that we eat every day. It’s created by plants through photosynthesis(光合作用). But according to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, plants do this in a complex (复杂的) and inefficient (低效的) way, which takes about 60 steps. The new study, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps. “Our study shows that creating complex compounds (化合物) like starch is possible in a lab (实验室), and there are many areas that can benefit from this technology,” Ma told China Daily. The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen gas into methanol (甲醇). Then they pieced these methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex molecules. Finally the starch came out. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of starchy crops (农作物) such as potatoes, but also save water, fertilizer (肥料) and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate change, according to China Daily. The study can benefit space exploration too. Astronauts no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe into the food they eat! 36．Compared to the process used by plants, it’s_______ to make starch using CO2. A．complex B．easier C．slower 37．From Paragraph 5 we can learn ______. A．why the new finding is meaningful B．what scientists researched in the past C．how starch is made from CO2 38．The starch is compounded in the order of ______. ①CO2 ② methanol molecules ③ starch ④ hydrogen gas                     ⑤ complex molecules A． B． C． 39．How does the new finding help us?   a. It helps protect our environment.            b. It helps save natural resources. c. It deals with the food problems of astronauts.  d. It helps people have healthy diets. A．abc B．abd C．acd How GPS Weakens Memory — and What We Can Do about It Using mobile phones to navigate (导航) has become second nature. Whether you’re heading to a new park or meeting friends at a restaurant, you just enter the address on your phone and go. Without GPS, exploring (探索) and wayfinding in new places required preparation. We had to think, check paper maps, and plan and memorize ways there. But today there is no need to think. Simply follow the turn-by-turn directions on your phone, and you’ll end up where you need to be. However, your overall sense of the place suffers. Spatial (空间的) navigation used to be a process performed by the human brain and perceptual system, but now people have surrendered it to technology. There are areas of the brain that deal with these difficult pathfinding tasks. In particular, the hippocampus is related to spatial memory, spatial navigation and mental (在脑中的) mapping. Studies show that we can exercise the hippocampus memory through exploration and spatial navigation. For example, expert navigators like London taxi drivers have larger hippocampi compared to other people.   However, when we follow a set of turn-by-turn directions, GPS navigation apps treat us as passive passengers rather than active explorers. In turn, this stops us from being able to create proper mental maps, and has an effect on the hippocampus, which is very important for brain health. While improvements in technology clearly have many benefits, we must remain mindful that technology can influence the brain. Our question is: Can we find a way to still use GPS but reduce the harmful effects on memory?   The challenge is to create other forms of GPS navigation that will remain easy enough for the general public, and at the same time, enable people to improve their spatial sense. Our research finds that properly designed audio beacons (音频信标) offer a much more active form of GPS navigation. For example, with an audio beacon at a hospital, when we are two miles away from the hospital, we can hear a sound through our phone. In recent experiments, we discover that this type of sensory navigation through audio beacons does better than turn-by-turn navigation in the creation of mental maps. We believe these results, at least in part, come from people taking a more active role in their navigation.   GPS navigation using audio beacons offers a good example that helps humans connect more deeply with reality; perhaps instead of turning into mindless robots, we will be able to become more deeply involved with humanity, our local environment, and life itself. 40．GPS weakens people’s memory because it ______. A．records the places people have been to B．offers people more than one way to a place C．takes the place of thinking process in wayfinding D．fails to teach people how to prepare for exploring 41．The words “have surrendered it to” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______. A．have compared it to B．have given it up to C．have learned it from D．have taken it away from 42．London taxi drivers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show that ______. A．GPS is not widely used in London B．the hippocampus memory can be exercised C．hard-working drivers have larger hippocampi D．active explorers are better than passive passengers 43．What can we learn from the passage? A．Turn-by-turn GPS navigation helps create mental maps. B．Audio beacons technology will be replaced in the future. C．Users’ active role should be considered in navigation technology. D．GPS navigation apps have come a long way in helping with our memory. Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. Clothes were reused and repurposed continuously, Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes could change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process. The clothing industry—from material sourcing（来源）to washing and waste is considered to be responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions（碳排放）, according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job ahead of it to play its part. Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to go looking for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe, uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image of a user’s wardrobe people can either take pictures of clothes or allow. Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then wardrobe advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair and alteration（更改）services, and environmentally friendly dry cleaning. In October the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes. “The job,” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better”. Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology and different business models to try to overhaul（全面改革）the industry. From encouraging new ways of consuming clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045. 44．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Kourda hoped to save money for her project. B．Kourda’s family has valued old things in life. C．Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to help others. D．Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes. 45．What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions. B．Why Kourda runs her company Save Your Wardrobe. C．Why Kourda’s company works with other companies. D．How Kourda teaches people to do online shopping. 46．What might the writer probably agree? A．People will stick to old traditions of consuming clothing. B．Customers might need less aftercare for their clothes soon. C．Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future. D．The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly. You pick up your phone and stare at it. The screen unlocks at once. But it won’t do that for anyone else. The phone knows who you are. It recognizes the shape of your face. Welcome to the world of the latest iphone. It comes with a feature called Face ID． Your face isn’t the only characteristic you can use as a password. Many smart phones already accept fingerprint recognition. Other safety systems check the shape of the ear, patterns in the eye, or the way a person walks. All of these characteristics called biometrics (生物识别技术) are unusual enough to identify someone. People like using biometrics for safety because they’re easy. You can’t misplace or forget your own face. They’re also usually very safe. It’s hard to copy another person’s body parts. But it’s not impossible! And the face may be one of the easiest body parts to copy. Most teens post plenty of photos online. These could probably help someone hack into(入侵) a safety system. In 2016, researchers at the University of North Carolina collected available Facebook photos. They used them to build 3D models of faces. Then they showed these fake faces to five different facial recognition systems. Four out of five let the cheater in. (Face ID wasn’t part of the test) Once a biometric password has been stolen, you can’t easily change it. You can’t get a new face! There’s one more thing of Face ID that worries experts. It would be easy for someone else to hold your phone in front of your face to unlock it. For example, an angry sister or brother might do this to hack into your accounts. Some people won’t worry about all that. It’s just so cool to use Face ID．As for me, I am always glad to use the new technology as long as it can make our lives easier and better. What do you think? Is it a good thing to you? 47．Which of the flowing body parts can be used as biometrics? ①hair ②eye ③mouth ④ear ⑤face ⑥fingerprint A．①②③④ B．②③④⑤ C．②④⑤⑥ D．①③⑤⑥ 48．According to paragraph 4, the face is easy to be copied by ________ in paragraph 4.

A．People have to pick up the phone and stare at it to unlock it. B．The face is easy to be copied with the help of photos. C．Biometric password can’t be easily changed if it has been stolen. D．It would be easy for someone else to hold your phone in front of your face to unlock it. 50．According to the passage, we can know ________. A．your phone can recognize anyone’s face B．Face ID of smartphones may cause some trouble C．you can easily change the stolen biometric password D．all the people worry about the safety of recognition system 51．What’s the writer’s opinion about Face ID? A．It’s fashionable to use Face ID B．It’s dangerous to use Face ID C．It’s safe and easy to use Face ID D．It’s a new technology worth trying. You are walking down the street. Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella. What do you do? Run or walk? Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster. But if you run, you also run into more raindrops. So what should you do? Things are more complicated than you might think. Franco Bocci, a professor at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that whether you should travel slowly or quickly in rain depends on the wind’s direction and your body’s shape, according to the BBC． When there is no wind, and the rain lands directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run and hide as fast as possible. But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walk at the same speed as the wind. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry. This is not all. When the wind blows in from the side, you’ll have to think about one more thing—your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. In this case, a fatter person had better run while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind. “In general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general,” Bocci told BBC News. “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal speed. Otherwise it is better to run fast.” Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street. But the best way to stay dry is still-to carry an umbrella. 52．According to Franco Bocci’s study, whether you should run in the rain depends on ________. ①how fast you can run    ②how heavy the rain is    ③your body’s size ④the wind’s direction A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 53．What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph7 probably mean? A．fastest B．slowest C．best D．possible 54．According to the article, which is the best way to stay as dry as possible on a rainy day? A．If there is no wind, walk at your usual speed. B．If the wind is from behind, run as fast as you can. C．If the wind is from the front, fat people should match the speed of the wind. D．If the wind is from the side, thin people should match the speed of the wind. Many parents set rules for their children’s online activity, such as limiting(限制) the time they can spend online. ________. They complain that their parents share too many photos of them online. In a 2016 study, it was found that parents in the US share more than 116 photos of their kids after they are born. Most were taken before the child fumed 8 years old. Many of the photos showed kids in unhappy situations, like having food all over their faces, Quartz reported. Parents do like to share their child’s progress as he or she grows up. But their kid doesn’t like it as much. In a survey(调查) of UK children between the ages of 12 and 16, 70% said they felt their parents didn’t respect them, reported by Digital Parenting magazine. In addition, many kids said that others at school sometimes picked on them after their parents post photos online. CBS News noted. In one case, a girl was bullied(欺负) by boys at school after they found her mom’s blog. There were many family photos in the blog. “Each time a photo or video is uploaded(下载), it is an important part of a child’s life, which can follow them into adult life,” a spokeswoman for a leading children’s charity in the UK said. “It’s always important to know their children’s idea before posting photos or videos of them. 55．Which sentence can be put in the blank of the first paragraph? A．It is necessary for parents to do so because some children spend lots of time on the Internet. B．And they have also made more rules to control the time children spend on online activity. C．Lots of children are so angry that they complain too much because of the limiting time. D．But some children in the US and UK are saying they’d like to make rules for parents, too. 56．The second paragraph shows us ________. A．some photos shared by parents B．a study from the US and UK C．the fact of sharing photos in the US D．unhappy situations of kids 57．Kids don’t like their parents to share their photos because they think ________. A．their photos are not beautiful enough B．parents should respect children’s ideas C．they may be bullied at home or school D．kids are not pleased with their photos 58．What can we know from the passage? A．The writer encourages more parents to share their children’s photos online. B．The writer asks children to understand why their parents share their photos. C．The writer shows it is important for parents to ask children if they can post their photos. D．The writer hopes that parents will not post photos or videos of their children. Li Shizhen (李时珍) was one of the most famous doctors in Chinese history.  He was born in Qichun, Hubei in 1518. Both of Li Shizhen’s father and grandfather were doctors.  Li Shizhen’s grandfather was a country doctor who traveled in the countryside with a bag of herbs (药草) and medications and cured (治愈) people. His father was doctor who wrote several books.      Li Shizhen used to help his father in his medical practice when he was young.  Li Shizhen’s father wanted him to enter politics (从政).  Li Shizhen studied for the exams and passed the country-level examination, but he was never able to pass the imperial (帝国的) examination.       When he was 38, he cured the son of the Prince of Chu and was invited to be an official in that court (宫廷) A few years later, he became an official at the Imperial Medical Institute.       Even though he fulfilled his father’s dream, he didn't want to continue working for the court. One year later, he left the court and returned to be a doctor again.       Li Shizhen. was famous for his book, Compendium of Materia Medica 《本草纲目》 ).  He spent 27 years writing the book.

Now a report by The New York Times looks into the math and psychology (心理学) of lining up. It also gives ways on picking the fastest line, either in a supermarket, a bank or anywhere else. Pick someone with a full basket US mathematician (数学家) Dan Meyer believes that a basket full of items (物品) doesn’t tell the whole story. “Every person needs 41 seconds to say hello, pay, say goodbye and leave,” he said. Each item in the basket only takes 3 seconds. This means if there are ten people in front of you, each with 1 item in their baskets, the waiting time will be 440 seconds. But if there is only one person in front of you, with 50 items in the basket, the waiting time will be 191 seconds. You do the math.   Study the customers It’s important to know who the customers are. For example, if they are elder people, they might move slower. At the same time, the items in their baskets are also important. For example, four bottles of the same milk will go faster than four different items. Go left According to US science writer Robert Samuel, about 90 percent of people are right-handed. That means they will naturally choose lines on the right. So standing on the left will give you a better chance of finding a faster line. 64．If there are 5 people in front of you, each with 10 items in their baskets, it will take you __________. A．355 seconds B．205 seconds C．150 seconds D．410 seconds 65．From the passage, ___________ may move faster. a. a line with three elder people.             b. a line with three young people. c. a basket with the same items.             d. a basket with different items. A．ac B．bc C．ad D．bd 66．Robert Samuel thinks ____________is a better chance of finding a faster line. A．picking someone with a full basket B．studying the customers C．picking lines on the left D．studying the items customers bought 67．The best title of this article may be___________________. A．Math in everyday life B．Advice on picking the fastest line C．Customers lining up D．The importance of picking the fastest line     Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie--the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial:”I didn’t do it!”     Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.     Early 2017 Professor Craig E.Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?     The children’s answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.     Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses. 68．What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragragh 1 mean? A．委屈 B．责备 C．否认 D．拒绝 69．Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _________. A．kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong” B．it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth C．it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth D．all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act 70．What did Smith and his workmates find in their study? A．Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act. B．Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act. C．The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime D．The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions. 71．According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies? A．Parents should at once punish the children who lied. B．Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying. C．Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions. D．Parents should show positive feeling about their children’s confessions. Hasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. “Clothes can be reused continuously,” Kourda says. A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today. Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes to change the relationship people have with their clothes—and benefit the environment in the process. The clothing industry is considered to be responsible for 8%~10% of global carbon emissions (碳排放), according to the UN. As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century, the clothing industry has a huge job to play its part. Kourda is among those who hope to help do that. Her way is to encourage people to look for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new. Her company, Save Your Wardrobe (衣柜) , uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes. The company uses computer software to build a digital image (形象) of a user’s wardrobe—people can either take pictures of clothes or allow Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history. It then advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair services and environmentally friendly dry cleaning services. In October, the company began to work with the German company Zalando, which will use Save Your Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes. “Our goal” says Kourda, “is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it, finally encouraging them to buy less and better.” Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology to make a difference in the clothing industry. From encouraging new ways of buying clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045. 72．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Kourda was raised by her grandmother. B．Kourda’s family has valued old things in life. C．Kourda’s grandma reused clothes to make money. D．Kourda’s parents are too poor to buy new clothes. 73．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How Kourda guides users to do online shopping. B．Why Kourda’s company works with other companies. C．How Kourda’s company helps to limit carbon emissions. D．Why Kourda builds a digital image of the users’ wardrobes. 74．What is the goal of Save Your Wardrobe? A．To help users buy cheaper wardrobes. B．To check users’ online shopping history. C．To encourage users to buy less and better clothes. D．To connect users to repair and dry cleaning services. 75．Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A．People will stick to old traditions of buying clothes. B．Customers might need less service for their clothes soon. C．Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future. D．The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly. Jenny knew she had a problem when she looked in her money box. It was only three days until the school trip to the beach, and Jenny didn’t have any money. To make things worse, her next pocket money was still six days away. “What’s the matter, Jenny?” asked her sister, Mary. “Mary,” said Jenny, “I’m in double trouble. I can’t go to the beach with my classmates, and I’ve broken my promise to Mom. I promised I’d stay within my budget (预算) this month.” For a few minutes, the two girls just sat and thought. Then Mary grabbed Jenny’s arm. “Jenny, I won’t give you the money, but I will help you. Just listen for a minute.” At first, Jenny wasn’t interested since Mary wasn’t willing to give her the money she needed. However, after Mary explained her plan, Jenny began to like it. Mary would lend Jenny the money for the beach trip, but Jenny would have to create a real budget for herself and follow it. In addition, if Jenny successfully followed the budget, Mary wouldn’t tell their mother about Jenny’s recent money disaster. “Mary, you are a lifesaver.” Jenny hugged Mary’s neck. The two sisters began to work together. After several hours, they agreed on how Jenny should use her money. Mary took their figures and made a graph (表格) for Jenny. Holding up the graph, Mary said, “Now you can see where your money should go each month,” “Thanks, Mary.” Jenny said. “But I know one thing that my money can’t buy. It couldn’t buy another great sister like you,” said Jenny. Then she hung her new budget on her bedroom wall. 76．What was Jenny’s problem? A．She had no friends. B．She had nothing to do. C．She had no money. D．She had no free time. 77．How did Mary help Jenny? A．By going to the beach with her. B．By buying things for the school trip for her. C．By telling Mom about her problem. D．By planning on how to use money with her. 78．What can we learn from the passage? A．Practice makes perfect. B．A useful way is better than direct help. C．It’s never too old to learn. D．Imagination is more important than knowledge. For most of us, stress is a fact of life. But there are many useful ways to lower stress. Let’s take a look. Sometimes it can be difficult to say exactly what we’re feeling. When we feel uneasy or disappointed, we can put problems into words. Keeping a diary is a good way to relax. If we get angry, music has a wonderful influence on our feelings. When we feel sad, it fills our hearts with warmth. When we get nervous or upset before a test, take a few deep breaths. Enough sleep helps us keep clear minds. Without plenty of rest, it is hard to pay attention to our study or work. Actually, the most important way that we can lower stress is to have a healthy lifestyle. Especially exercise is a key part of staying healthy and good for both physical and mental health. 79．How many ways can we use to lower stress? A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6. 80．What can we do if we feel disappointed? A．We can go to bed. B．We can write down our problems. C．We can call our friends. D．We can walk on the playground. 81．What can we choose to do if we feel sad or angry? A．To listen to music. B．To study hard. C．To keep a diary. D．To read our favorite books. 82．Which way can help us calm down before having a test? A．Drawing pictures. B．Learning to swim. C．Taking deep breaths. D．Having enough sleep. 83．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．It talks about our stress. B．It tells us how to exercise. C．It talks about our daily life. D．It tells us how to lower stress. How many times have you found yourself distracted (走神的) in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones? This happens to everyone from time to time. However, it’s important for us to think about how often this happens in our lives. Research has shown that most of us only remember 25% to 50% of what we hear. So why aren’t we good listeners? For one thing, we may care more about ourselves than about others. A study found there is a rise in the number of self-centered people among college students. So how can we work to become more caring listeners? First, we can begin by changing our attitude (态度) towards conversations. As Stephen R. Covey said, “Most people do not listen with intent (意图) to understand; they listen with intent to reply.” A dialogue is a chance to learn, to see things differently, and to open your eyes to new information. However, many people just want to express their own ideas without listening. Listening is one of the most important skills. Listening not only increases our knowledge, but also helps us understand people around us. An exchange in communication is helpful for a close relationship. If the talk becomes one-sided, we may be less connected with others. So when having conversations with others, we should listen patiently or politely until they are finished. Then we can say something meaningful. Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. We can start by being open to the fact that maybe we aren’t as good listeners as we believe. When we start to question ourselves, we will be able to become better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends. 84．According to the passage, we can know that ________. A．adults are not distracted when talking to others B．more college students care more about themselves C．most people can remember more than half of what they hear D．it doesn’t matter how often we get distracted in conversations 85．If John wants to become a better listener, what should he do? A．Pay more attention to himself. B．Hurry to express his thoughts to others. C．Cut in on his friends’ conversation. D．Try to understand what others are saying. 86．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Different ways of expressing our ideas. B．The influence of one-sided conversations. C．The importance of becoming better listeners. D．Reasons for developing close relationships. The scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world. It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions. There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察), hypothesis (假设), experiment and conclusion. The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation. For example, you had a sick stomach and ate a candy bar. An hour later you observed that you felt much better. Here you can ask a question such as “What makes a sick stomach feel better?” The second step is to state a possible answer to the question or a hypothesis, such as. “”A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations. It is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new outcomes or conclusions. The third step is the experiment to test the hypothesis. An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false. The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world. If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment. 87．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 88．Which of the following sentences about the experiment is TRUE? A．An experiment is a test to always support the hypothesis. B．An experiment does not have to be part of the scientific method. C．An experiment is a test to either challenge or support a hypothesis. D．An experiment is only used when scientists are trying to prove a hypothesis. 89．Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 3? A．A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better. B．It was the medicine you took an hour earlier that made you feel better. C．Eat a candy bar again, and see what happens to your sick stomach. D．Ask people if eating a candy bar has made a sick stomach feel better. 90．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)? A．the hypothesis B．the conclusion C．the question D．the observation 91．Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the passage? A．How do the four basic steps in the scientific method work? B．What makes a good hypothesis based on the observation? C．The conclusion will always clearly support the hypothesis. D．Learning the scientific method may help students succeed in science. Are you emotional (情绪激动的)? Do you often have strong feelings? How do you deal with bad emotions? We feel angry or unhappy about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad moods (情绪). But neither unhappiness nor anger can help us. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders. These bad moods don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself—is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually learning about your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them? By thinking about our bad moods, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relaxation. Instead, there are better ways to deal with them. One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅). Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad moods inside. We must also forgive others who have made us unhappy or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well. There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. When you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ll be much happier with your life. 92．How does the writer begin the text? A．By telling a story. B．By listing differences. C．By showing facts.

You know that looking it up in an English-Chinese Dictionary will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and also how to use this word. But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly? First, all the English words are arranged in the alphabetical order (按字母顺序排列). In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, B, C, D …, that means, if there are two words “general” and “monitor”, “general” will be certainly before “monitor”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth … for example, “before” is before “begin”, “foreign” before “forest”, etc. Do you understand how to look up a word in a dictionary? The dictionary will be your good friends. I hope you will use it as often as possible in your English learning. 101．According to the passage, if we don’t know a word, we’d better ________. A．think hard B．write it again and again C．ask our teachers or classmates D．look it up in a dictionary 102．When you look up a word in the English-Chinese Dictionary, you can understand not only its Chinese meaning, but also ________.

A．useful in our Chinese learning B．our good friend in learning Chinese C．a good friend in our English learning D．not useful in learning English Whether it’s putting your elbows on the table or talking with a mouth full of food, everyone has to watch their manners (礼仪) at some time. Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing. Around 100 years ago, children weren’t allowed to speak unless parents spoke to them first. Now young people can make their voices heard in many places. Manners also mean different things in different countries. Eating food loudly is considered rude in some countries, but in others it’s a sign that people are enjoying their meal. What do you think, are manners important? Many old people think so. They say kind words and actions are good to everyone. When someone has good manners, it shows they care about other people’s feelings and want them to be comfortable. In other words, well-mannered people make the world a happier place. Manners also help keep everyone healthy, which is why people should cover their mouths when they cough and keep dirty feet off seats. However, some young men don’t think so. They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn’t mean how they really feel. If someone says “thank you” or “sorry” when they don’t mean it, they’re not being polite. In Europe, manners were a way of showing how rich a person was, but does it really matter what type of knife people use to eat fish? As long as people are kind to others, they should be allowed to act how they like. 106．Why are the table manners mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To start the topic. B．To keep the tradition. C．To show the importance of them. D．To tell the young about them. 107．How is the passage developed? A．By comparing. B．In the order of time. C．By listing numbers. D．In the order of space. 108．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．We need to care about others. B．Good manners are very important. C．Well-mannered people make us happy. D．You can be healthy with good manners. 109．What do some young people think of good manners? A．They are easy to follow. B．They are very necessary. C．They make people more relaxed. D．They are less important than being kind. 110．What can we infer from this passage? A．Saying sorry certainly means being polite. B．Eating fish with a knife shows you’re rich. C．Coughing with the mouth covered is strange. D．Eating loudly can be good manners sometimes. 请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。 The fourth Asian Para Games started on October 22nd. The host city Hangzhou has made many improvements to build a barrier-free (无障碍的) city for the event. The Para Games makes barrier-free services available to disabled players. 17 of its 19 venues (比赛场馆) are shared with the Asian Games, and all have been improved. Tangqi Blind Goalball Base has come up with several plans to make things easier for disabled people. When players come into the venue, there will be announcements (公告) in Chinese and English. A voice guide will help players find their way. To better allow disabled people to watch the Games, lots of special seats are provided in the venue. Outside the venue, there is rest space for guide dogs. Zhang Liming, the venue’s head, explained that the rest area provides a comfortable environment for guide dogs. It’s not safe to leave the dog at the hotel or bring it into the venue, so this rest area, which is open 24/7, solves the problem. In the Asian Para Games Village, the doors of buildings have been widened as needed. The beds in the rooms have been made lower to provide better rest for disabled players. “That is the perfect place and I feel right at home. It is easy for us to get around here, and there are special places to show Hangzhou’s beauty,” Chinese swimmer Jiang Yuyan said. Apart from the barrier-free venues and Village, Hangzhou has done a lot to develop into a barrier-free city. Over the past three years, Hangzhou has improved 140,000 barrier-free places, as well as 75 roads, more than 3,000 kilometers of blind roads, and more than 1,600 barrier-free toilets. It has also offered online barrier-free services such as communication, travel and living. Hangzhou hopes to provide a more comfortable and warm environment for disabled people, and build a better society. 111．How many venues does the Para Games share with the Asian Games? A．17. B．19. C．36. 112．How do players find their way? A．By using an app. B．By listening to the voice guide. C．By following the marked way. 113．What is special about the rest space? A．It is open all day. B．It is for all dogs. C．It is inside the venue. 114．How did Jiang Yuyan feel about the Village? A．It’s safe. B．It’s modern. C．It’s comfortable. 115．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 6? A．Buildings in Hangzhou. B．Improvements made in Hangzhou. C．The development plan of Hangzhou. Are you tired of looking at the world in the same old way? Have people told you that you never see more than one side of the story? If so, then it’s time to become more open-minded so that you can live a better life. Open-minded people live an exciting and happy life. You can be one of them after a little hard work. If you’re open-minded, you are willing to consider ideas and opinions that are different from your own. There are many things you can do to become more open-minded. For example, educating yourself is a good idea, and you can achieve this by taking some night classes and watching online classes, or just reading widely. If you’re close-minded, you may think that you don’t have anything to learn from other people. So the next time you meet a new person or talk to an old friend, ask him more questions than before. Ask the person what he’s been up to that week or if he has read anything good lately. You will be astonished by how much you will learn. If you’re close-minded, you may love to argue about a topic because you think you’re completely right. Well, the next time you find yourself in the middle of a debate, you should take a friendlier way. Don’t tell the person why he is wrong. Instead, ask him to tell exactly why you should believe his points of view. You won’t change your own mind, but you’ll certainly like something new. In a word, you should always learn something new. The world is changing. Don’t die with the old times but live with the new one. 116．Why should we become more open-minded? A．To believe ourselves. B．To live a better life. C．To tell the person why he is wrong. D．To ask others more questions. 117．How to become open-minded according to the passage? A．Argue about a topic with others. B．Change our own mind to believe what other people say. C．Always learn something new. D．You don’t need to learn from others. 118．Which is not true according to the passage? A．Open-minded people see more than one side of the story. B．Open-minded people live an exciting and enjoyable life. C．Open-minded people look at the world in the same old way. D．Open-minded people don’t die with the old times but live with the new one. 119．What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “astonished” in Paragraph 3? A．surprised B．meaningful C．surprising      D．successful 120．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． You probably see a lot of things made of plastic, like bottles and bags every day. What happens when that plastic gets thrown away? Scientists say much of it ends up in oceans and causes problems for creatures (生物) like fish and birds. “Plastic puts ocean creatures in danger,” says Allison Schutes of the Ocean Conservancy, a group that works to protect the world’s oceans. A recent study shows that each minute, enough plastic reaches the ocean to fill up a garbage (垃圾) truck! The same study predicts that by the year 2050, our oceans will have more plastic than fish. All that plastic is bad news for ocean life. Some ocean creatures die when they get tangled in pieces of plastic. Others accidentally eat it and die, too. And many small animals are caught in some bottles and can’t get away with them. Most scientists say taking out all the plastic that’s already in the ocean would be impossible. Instead, they say the best way is to prevent more plastic from getting there. Many groups are already taking action. They organize cleanups on beaches to pick up litter before it reaches the ocean. For example, volunteers from the Ocean Conservancy collected more than 16 million pounds of it last year! Experts also encourage people to use less plastic. Many cities and towns in America have banned plastic shopping bags. Experts also suggest that people drink out of reusable (可重复使用的) bottles and try reusable shopping bags. “These seem like small things,” says Schutes, “but they can help make a big difference.” 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 121．Much plastic thrown away by humans may go to ________. A．the forest B．the mountain C．the ocean 122．Which of the following is TRUE? A．By the year 2050, our oceans may have more plastic than fish. B．We are able to take out all the plastic in the ocean. C．There wasn’t much plastic that reaches the ocean each minute. 123．What does the underlined word “tangled” mean? A．对话 B．答案 C．缠绕 124．What can we do to help with the serious situation? A．Prevent the production of plastic. B．Never drink plastic bottles of water. C．Try our best to use less plastic. 125．Which can be the best title of this passage? A．Life Matters in the Ocean B．How to Reuse Plastic C．How to Take Out Garbage from the Ocean 第II卷（非选择题） 请点击修改第II卷的文字说明 试卷第1页，共3页 第 1 页 共 56 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 附答案及解析 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B A D D C B A D C C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 D D B D A D A C B A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 D C C D C D D B B A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 C A B B D B C C A C 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B B C B A D C B A B 题号 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 答案 D B C D D C B C C D 题号 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 答案 B B A A B C B C B A 题号 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 答案 D B C C D C D B C B 题号 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 答案 A C D B D C B C A B 题号 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 答案 A D B A B B C B A D 题号 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 答案 D D A B C A A B D D 题号 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 答案 A B A C B B C C A D 题号 121 122 123 124 125 答案 C A C C C 1．B 2．A 3．D 解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《情感》杂志上的一篇新报告的一些观点，智能手机和社交媒体故意让人上瘾的设计让青少年沉迷于屏幕；青少年每周花在屏幕上的时间越长，他们的心理健康状况就越差，他们的生活满意度和幸福感会有所下降。屏幕时间就像冰淇淋，我们可以偶尔吃一些，但不应该成为我们日常生活的一部分。 1．细节理解题。根据第六段“Twenge and her co-writers found that the happiest teens used electronic devices a little less than an hour daily.”可知，最快乐的青少年每天使用电子设备的时间略少于一个小时。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Many of the games have rewards built in to keep players coming back. ‘It’s just junk food for the brain,’ Tanman said.”和第五段“After playing a lot, Leo gets more upset and uncomfortable. He wants his son to play fewer video games.”可知，作者列举有青少年的家庭的例子是为了证明电子设备令人上瘾的设计的不良影响。故选A。 3．最佳标题题。综合全文可知，青少年每周花在屏幕上的时间越长，他们的心理健康状况就越差，他们的生活满意度和幸福感会有所下降。选项D“屏幕时间与青少年生活满意度”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 4．D 5．C 6．B 7．A 解析：本文主要介绍了如何向父母有效的表达爱。 4．细节理解题。根据“Things, however, can still be wrong if both parents and children are not used to their ways of expressing love in the right way.”可知父母和孩子用正确的方式表达爱，父母和孩子之间的关系更好。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据“For example, my parents express their love by acts of service. They like to do things for me. For me, I express love by giving words of affirmation. I also use other ways to express my love, but communicating in the form of words is the primary method I use. I’m always telling them how much I love them.”可知作者用言语表达爱多于用行动。故选C。 6．词义猜测题。根据“This difference created a big rift between us at the beginning. I would try to communicate with them, but get nothing in return.”可知，这种差异一开始就使我们之间产生了很大的分歧。作者会试着和他们沟通，但得不到任何回报。所以划线处指的是“大的分歧”。故选B。 7．目的意图题。根据“Learn to ‘speak’ to them in their language, not in your language. You’ll get much better and faster results this way.”可知目的是建议一种向父母表达爱的方式。故选A。 8．D 9．C 10．C 11．D 解析：本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了正确使用I-statement可以改善人际关系。 8．推理判断题。根据“I-statement is a form of sentence meant for expressing your thoughts without criticizing others.”以及“All in all, correctly using the I-statement in conversations is a good way to avoid misunderstandings.”可知，当在谈话中使用I-语句时，可以让你表达自己的观点，从而避免产生误解，故选D。 9．推理判断题。根据“I-statements enable you to express your opinion without using upsetting language.”以及“In this way, you avoid getting into an argument with others or directly pointing out the other person’s mistake.”可知，当在谈话中使用I-语句能避免冲突，所以排除选项A和B；选项D是一种抱怨，容易引起冲突，故选C。 10．词句猜测题。根据“By addressing a matter with vulnerability instead of immediately holding the other person responsible, you can keep respect and trust in your relationships.”可知，通过处理脆弱的问题，而不是立即追究对方的责任，你可以在人际关系中保持尊重和信任。推测此处vulnerability指“问题，弱点”，选项C“愿意审视自己”符合题意，故选C。 11．推理判断题。通读本文以及最后一段可知，作者认为正确使用I-statement可以改善人际关系，选项D“正确使用I-语句可以改善人际关系”符合题意，故选D。 12．D 13．B 14．D 15．A 解析：本文主要纠正关于内向的错误观念。 12．细节理解题。根据第三段“Their behavior is the opposite of the preference in a culture towards extroversion（外向）.”可知，内向的人通常被认为是无聊的，因为他们的行为违背了文化偏好。故选D。 13．词义猜测题。根据第三段“This type of everyone-agreed popularity may make quiet people see their lack of extroversion as a deficit.”可知，不受欢迎属于缺点，其他选项不符合句意，故选B。 14．细节理解题。根据第五段“Balancing both values can lead to psychological well-being and life satisfaction.”可知内向的人很可能得到生活的满足。故选D。 15．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Generalizing introverted people with negative characteristics is false and harmful ... go along with a quiet, introverted personality.”可知，作者觉得内向没有问题，要纠正关于内向的错误观念。故选A。 16．D 17．A 18．C 解析：本文的主要内容是英国的四个文化活动。 16．细节理解题。根据“Notting Hill Carnival：It was first held back in 1964 by a woman named Rhaune Laslett who wanted to bring together different classes of people in the city.”可知，当初举办这个活动是为了将不同阶层的人团聚在一起。故选D。 17．细节理解题。根据“Bonfire Night：Now, on this day each year, people of the UK celebrate his failed action. To celebrate, locals will light fire all around the city.”可知，Bonfire Night是纪念一次失败的行动。故选A。 18．细节理解题。根据“Totally Thames/Mayor Thames Festival：Totally Thames is a month-long celebration full of races along the river and lots of artistic, cultural, environmental and sporting events all along the river.”可知，在Totally Thames这个活动上有男子比赛。故选C。 19．B 20．A 21．D 22．C 23．C 解析：本文主要介绍了骑自行车参观凡尔赛宫的相关事项。 19．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“You’ll also enjoy a picnic by the Grand Canal and then take a tour of the Palace of Versailles”可知游客们将在the Grand Canal野餐，然后参观凡尔赛宫，故选B。 20．数字计算题。根据Basic Information中的时长可知，总游览时间为9个小时，又根据“Return to the same point as departure at about 6:00 pm”可知下午六点返回，往前推9个小时，那么就是早上九点去往见面地点，开始一天的行程。故选A。 21．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“For more tour guide information: Web: www. versaillestour.com.”可知是浏览网站，故选D。 22．推理判断题。根据Basic Information部分“Then pick up your bike at an office just 5 minutes from the Palace of Versailles”可知从取自行车的办公室骑行五分钟即可到达凡尔赛宫，所以距离不远，故选C。 23．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了骑自行车参观凡尔赛宫的相关事项，是一则广告信息，故选C。 24．D 25．C 26．D 解析：本文主要介绍的是错失恐惧症FOMO。 24．细节理解题。根据“It stops them from being satisfied with the good things in their lives”可知，会让人们无法满足于现实生活，故选D。 25．词义猜测题。根据“Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Relish them, do them well and let everything else go”可知，关注你面前的事情，欣赏它们，让其它一切都过去，故relish与enjoy同义，故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据“You can even set particular times in your day to check email or social media”可知，在特定的时间来查看社交媒体，可以帮助人们克服FOMO。故选D。 27．D 28．B 29．B 30．A 解析：本文主要讲述了善于倾听使人际交往通畅，并且能够使双方共同成长，而倾听要全神贯注，懂得认同他人的看法。倾听要有足够的精力，并学会海纳百川。作者利用倾听的心理疗法治愈了他的病人，这就是一个很好的例证。 27．推理判断题。根据“Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.”很多人认为倾听是一件被动的事情。事实恰恰相反。好好倾听是对我们注意力和努力工作的积极锻炼。正是因为他们没有意识到这一点，或者因为他们不愿意做这项工作，因此大多数人都不善于倾听。结合选项，可知很多人被动地倾听是因为他们不想关心他们所听的内容，故选D。 28．词句猜测题。根据下文“That means if you want to listen well you should have a short acceptance of the other person.”这意味着如果你想要好好倾听，你应该暂时接受对方。结合本句“Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices (偏见) and strong wishes, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes.”Bracketing包括……放弃或抛弃你自己的偏见和强烈愿望，尽可能地理解说话人的内心世界，站在他或她的立场。可推知“temporary”应是“暂时的、短暂的”意思，故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据“Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively.” 即使在我们的商业交易或社会关系中，我们可能会觉得我们听得很好，但我们通常做的是有选择地听。由此我们可知，作者可能同意“人们在交流中经常有目的地倾听”这个观点，故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据“It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is always therapeutic (有疗效的).”直到我的医生生涯结束时，我才发现真正去倾听别人的话总是有疗效的这个常识，结合下文作者举例自己利用倾听的心理疗法治愈了他的病人，可推知A选项“医生意识到病人需要真正的倾听”符合题意，故选A。 31．C 32．A 33．B 34．B 35．D 解析：本文就如何应对粮食危机给出了合理建议。 31．词句猜测题。根据下文“Food is in great need because of the growing world population…By 2050, the food prices will get higher and higher”可知，粮食危机即将到来，划线单词表示“危机”。故选C。 32．推理判断题。根据第二段“Food is in great need because of the growing world population. By 1960, the population was three billion. It doubled to six billion by 1999”可知，急需粮食是因为世界人口越来越多。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“eating less meat will provide more land for farming, and it will save water”，可知少吃肉就会提供更多的土地和节省用水。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Americans, for example, they eat twice as much meat as people in other countries”，可知美国人吃的肉是别国人的两倍。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合“So, what can a hungry, crowded world do”，可知短文介绍了如何应对粮食危机的建议。“how to deal with the food crisis”符合文意，故选D。 36．B 37．C 38．C 39．A 解析：本文是新闻报道，短文对中国科学院天津工业生物技术研究所，在温室气体二氧化碳转化为淀粉方面所取得的重大技术突破作了报道。 36．细节理解题。根据“plants do this in a complex and inefficient way, which takes about 60 steps. The new study, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps”可知，与植物生产淀粉的过程相比，利用二氧化碳更容易生产淀粉。故选B。 37．主旨大意题。根据本段内容，结合“The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen gas into methanol. Then they pieced these methanol molecules into bigger and more complex molecules. Finally the starch came out”可知，本段介绍淀粉是如何由二氧化碳制成的。“how starch is made from CO2”符合段意，故选C。 38．细节理解题。根据“The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen gas into methanol. Then they pieced these methanol molecules into bigger and more complex molecules. Finally the starch came out”可知，先将二氧化碳①和氢气④转化为甲醇，然后把这些甲醇分子②合成更大更复杂的分子⑤，最后出现淀粉③。故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据“but also save water, fertilizer and land…It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate change… The study can benefit space exploration too”可知，这些新发现有助于保护环境，解决宇航员的食物问题和节约自然资源。前三项陈述正确，故选A。 40．C 41．B 42．B 43．C 解析：文章主要讲GPS是如何削弱记忆的以及我们能够做些什么。 40．细节理解题。根据“Without GPS, exploring and wayfinding in new places required preparation. We had to think, check paper maps, and plan and memorize ways there. But today there is no need to think. Simply follow the turn-by-turn directions on your phone, and you’ll end up where you need to be.”可知GPS削弱了人们的记忆力，因为它取代了寻路的思维过程。故选C。 41．词义猜测题。根据“Spatial navigation used to be a process performed by the human brain and perceptual system, but now people have surrendered it to technology.”可知空间导航曾经是人类大脑和感知系统完成的过程，但现在都靠GPS，人们把这一过程交给了科技，have surrendered it to意为“已经交给了”。故选B。 42．推理判断题。根据“Studies show that we can exercise the hippocampus memory through exploration and spatial navigation. For example, expert navigators like London taxi drivers have larger hippocampi compared to other people.”可知我们可以通过探索和空间导航来锻炼海马体记忆，列举伦敦出租车司机的例子是为了说明海马体记忆是可以锻炼的。故选B。 43．细节理解题。根据“We believe these results, at least in part, come from people taking a more active role in their navigation.”和“perhaps instead of turning into mindless robots, we will be able to become more deeply involved with humanity, our local environment, and life itself.”可知在导航技术中应考虑用户的主动作用。故选C。 44．B 45．A 46．D 解析：本文是一篇说明文。主要是说库尔用她的公司的技术帮助人们在自己的衣橱里购物，并充分利用它们，最终鼓励他们购买更少更好的衣服。 44．主旨大意题。根据“Hasna Kourda grew up on an island…by her parents today.”可知，本段的内容主要是说库尔达家族珍视生活中的旧事物。故选B。 45．主旨大意题。根据“Kourda is among those who hope to help do that.”可知，此处that指代的是上段“As the world races to meet its promises to …job ahead of it to play its part.”因此围绕这个问题展开讨论，介绍库尔达的公司如何帮助限制碳排放。故选A。 46．推理判断题。根据“From encouraging new ways of consuming clothes, to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life, the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.”可知，到2045年，服装世界可能会变得非常不同。可推断作者同意服装行业可能更环保这个观点。故选D。 47．C 48．B 49．A 50．B 51．D 解析：文章大意：如今的智能手机可以通过人脸识别技术，指纹，耳朵轮廓等方式解锁，作者对人脸识别技术的优势和劣势分别进行了分析。 47．细节理解题。根据“Your face isn’t the only characteristic you can use as a password. Many smart phones already accept fingerprint recognition. Other safety systems check the shape of the ear, patterns in the eye, or the way a person walks”可知，脸部，指纹，耳朵，眼睛都被用于生物识别技术，故选C。 48．细节理解题。根据“In 2016, researchers at the University of North Carolina collected available Facebook photos…”可知，第四段通过呈现图片研究的方式来证明脸部识别很容易被复制，故选B。 49．细节理解题。根据“Most teens post plenty of photos online. These could probably help someone hack into(入侵) a safety system”“It would be easy for someone else to hold your phone in front of your face to unlock it”“Once a biometric password has been stolen, you can’t easily change it”可知，“在照片的帮助下，脸部很容易被复制”“如果生物识别密码被偷了，就不能轻易更改”“别人可以很容易地把你的手机放在你面前解锁”在文中都提到了，而A并不属于使用生物识别技术的的缺点，故选A。 50．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的描述可知，生物识别系统可能会给人们带来一些困扰，例如密码被偷了不能轻易更改，在照片的帮助下，脸部很容易被复制等等，故选B。 51．推理判断题。根据“As for me, I am always glad to use the new technology as long as it can make our lives easier and better”可知，作者很愿意尝试这种新科技，故选D。 52．B 53．C 54．D 解析：本文是一篇说明文。当你正在街上走，突然下雨了，你是赶紧跑还是继续走？本文分析这与风向以及身材有关，并列举出种种情况。 52．细节理解题。根据“found that whether you should travel slowly or quickly in rain depends on the wind’s direction and your body’s shape”可知，取决于风的方向和身体的形状，故选B。 53．词义猜测题。根据“If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal speed. Otherwise it is better to run fast”可知，如果你真的很瘦，很有可能会有一个最佳速度，所以optimal与best同义，故选C。 54．细节理解题。根据“When the wind blows in from the side, you’ll have to think about one more thing your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. In this case, a fatter person had better run while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind”可知，当风从侧面吹进来时，较胖的人最好跑步，瘦的人应该配合风的速度，故选D。 55．D 56．C 57．B 58．C 解析：文章主要讲了父母在社交网络上分享孩子照片的事情。告诉家长在上传或拍摄视频之前，征求孩子们的同意是很重要的。 55．推理判断题，根据“Many parents set rules for their children’s online activity, such as limiting(限制)the time they can spend online.”可知此处说的是美国和英国的一些孩子希望为父母制定规则。选项D“但美国和英国的一些孩子表示，他们也想为父母制定规则。”符合语境，故选D。 56．细节理解题，根据“In a 2016 study, it was found that parents in the US share more than 116 photos of their kids after they are born.”和“Many of the photos showed kids in unhappy situations, like having food all over their faces, Quartz reported.”，可知，第二段主要讲的是美国父母晒孩子照片的一项调查。故选C。 57．细节理解题，根据“70% said they felt their parents didn’t respect them, reported by Digital Parenting magazine.”，据《数字育儿杂志》报道，70%的受访者表示，他们觉得父母不尊重自己的网络隐私。故选B。 58．推理判断题，根据文章最后一段“Each time a photo or video is uploaded(下载), it is an important part of a child’s life, … It’s always important to know their children’s idea before posting photos or videos of them” 可知作者认为家长询问孩子是否可以发照片到网上是很重要的。故选C。 59．C 60．D 61．B 62．B 63．A 解析：本文介绍了李时珍的生活。李时珍的父亲和祖父都是医生。但是李时珍的父亲想让他从政。于是李时珍就为考试而学习，并通过了国家级考试，但他永远无法通过帝王考试。当他38岁时，他治好了楚王的儿子，几年后被邀请到朝廷做官。尽管他实现了他父亲的梦想，但他不想继续为医院工作。一年后，他离开了朝廷，重新当了医生。他花了27年写了闻名的《本草经》这本书。这是一本非常成功的书。现在它仍然是中国最重要的医学书籍之一。 59．细节理解题。A.
