B Miss sending letters?Try Lettrs!This new service brings back the art of letter writing by marrying it to the Internet. 2024-2025学年度高二上学期第一次阶段学情调查英语学科试卷第4页共8页 天津市实验中学TIANJIN EXPERIMENTAL HIGH SCHOOL Lettrs,a new site,is attempting to bring back the old-fashioned idea of letter writing by providing a space that feels a little bit like a writing desk. Of course,there'll be purists who say that to truly enjoy letter writing you must do it on fancy letter paper and envelope in the mail is part of the fun.And if you're into that sort of thing,go for it.But I can't be the only one who is now so much faster at typing that writing by hand is painfully slow.Nor can I be the only one who likes to write on a whim(一时兴起)when I'm going to be on a crowded train or airplane,both of which are situations where writing on the computer is far easier. The site tries,pretty seriously,to approximate()what it's like to have your very own writing desk and paper to choose from(which comes in various prints and colors)as well as corresponding 信)ypes of prints and cursive writing(草写体)that come out on your screen as you write,There's also a "desk drawer"for letters you've already sent,a "fridge"to post letters publicly,a "kitchen counter"for letters you have just received,and "shoebox"to store your letters in. And if you need inspiration there are even old-style letters that are great examples of the kind of correspondence people used to send.Lettrs is such a great idea,because you get the best parts of communicating online(typing rather than writing,the speed,no lost mail,and it's free!)with the nice parts of a letter-the sense of sitting down to write,quietly,to one person in a meaningful way. Who would you write to? 56.How does Lettrs work according to the text? A.By providing real paper for letter writers. B.By making room for people to write letters. C.By supplying writing desks to letter writers. D.By combining letter writing with the Internet. 57.It can be inferred from the text that the author. A.is one of the purists B.prefers writing to typing C.always hopes to get paper letters D.likes using Lettrs to write letters 58.A Lettrs user can find a newly received letter in or on a" A.desk drawer B.fridge C.kitchen counter D.shoebox 59.What is the main purpose of the author writing the text? A.To advise readers to use Lettrs. B.To tell readers how to write letters. C.To persuade readers to write letters. D.To show the advantage of the Internet. 60.What is the text mainly about? A.An old art of letter writing. B.A new service of letter writing. C.The advantages of letter writing. D.The development of letter writing. C The murmur of the audience had just faded into expectant silence.This was one of the most important days in little five-year-old Patricia McKee's life:the Kemot School Concert.She stood behind the curtain with her schoolmates.Yet she was not afraid because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their parts by heart. Being in a remote country town,Patricia knew that everyone would turn out for the big occasion- everyone!Yet,it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement.There were two people who couldn't be in that audience that night-her mum and dad. Patricia's mother and father ran the local general store,which was open for business 24 hours.So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities.It had been this way with her sister,so why should it be any different for her? 2024-2025学年度高二上学期第一次阶段学情调查英语学科试卷第5页共8页 天津本实殓中学TIANJIN EXPERIMENTAL HIGH SCHOOL Still,Patricia couldn't help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day,so she decided to bring up the subject with her mother.Sadly,she had to face the facts.At such a young age,Patricia couldn't really understand the deep pain in her mother's response:"I'll try to be there,sweetheart,but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store." Yet as the curtain slowly opened on the stage of the Kernot Hall,little Patricia McKee got the surprise of her life.There,sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face! This powerful image remains one of Patricia's most treasured memories."Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment.I was really walking on air,"said Patricia,now a parent herself.Her parents have passed away,but what a wonderful legacy (they've left us:when someone really needs you,be there for them. 61.Why did Patricia have a feeling of sadness? A.She had no chance to watch the concert. B.She performed unsuccessfully at the concert. C.Her parents had gone to a remote country town.

C.They had to mind the store day and night. D.They paid no attention to Patricia's school life. 63.According to Paragraph 4,while giving the response,Patricia's mother probably felt A.calm B.sorry C.angry D.nervous 64.What does the underlined phrase"walking on air"in the last paragraph probably mean?

C.A big occasion in school. D.A secret wish. 0 Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned.Still,many child-development experts agree that tying a child's allowance to chores can be a slippery slope.Here's why. Susie Walton,master instructor at Peace in Your Home,advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate."Allowance is one thing.When it comes to chores,life skills,responsibilities-that's a whole different thing."says Walton. Walton says,"When kids aren't doing a chore,you don't say,'well,there goes your allowance.' You're going to sit them down and ask what's going on.'We are a team.We are a family.We've got to have them done.'" Besides,by paying children for chores with an allowance,you'll also be sending the message that work isn't worth doing unless they're getting paid for it. There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores.Most financial and child-development experts agree that it's a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores,such as washing windows,washing the car or helping to clean out the garage-especially if the child is saving for a big item.This may even develop an entrepreneurial spirit to think outside of the box to earn money. For parents who are concemed that their children won't leam the value of a dollar if the allowance 2024-2025学年度高二上学期第一次阶段学情调查英语学科试卷第6页共8页 天津市实险中学TIANJIN EXPERIMENTAL HIGH SCHOOL isn't tied to household chores,note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance.Depending on the age,kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks.Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance toward savings. "I really like having my own money,"says Kevin,9."It's up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now,or save and get the better toy."And that's a good lesson to learn at 9 years old. No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood,kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money. 66.Which of the following would Susie Walton most probably agree with? A.A child's allowance shouldn't be tied to chores. B.Kids shouldn't be forced to do chores. C.Doing chores teaches kids the value of work. D.Kids should be paid for doing chores. 67.According to Susie Walton,if kids don't do chores,parents should A.teach them the entrepreneurial spirit B.talk to them about family responsibilities C.give them a smaller allowance than usual D.punish them by not giving them their allowances 68.In Paragraph6,“a straight allowance'”probably means“ A.money given by charity organizations B.money eamed by doing part-time jobs. C.money eamed by doing everyday household chores D.money given by parents and not dependent on chores 69.What is the author's attitude towards Kevin's action? A.Worried. B.Doubtful. C.Approving. D.Unfavorable. 70.The text is mainly about A.the importance of kids doing chores B.whether parents should pay kids for chores C.the advantages of kids handling their own money D.whether parents should give kids regular allowances 四、阅读表达（共5小题，满分10分） I read an article in my local paper a while ago,and it really inspired me.There was a couple in my neighborhood whose house had been badly damaged in a storm we had earlier this year.I remember it well.I have never experienced so big a storm in my life,and the hailstones were almost the size of baseballs which broke everything on the roofs of the houses. I read this article a few months after the storm and I learned that this couple didn't have insurance and that they had just bought their first house.They were a common young couple and they had been saving for five years to get their home.Unfortunately,their home was badly damaged in the storm not only by the strong wind but a tree outside their house had fallen and destroyed part of the house.With all of their savings spent buying the place,they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house,nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it. Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better,they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box.When they opened it,they found some money with a note that said,"I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month,it looks like you need 2024-2025学年度高二上学期第一次阶段学情调查英语学科试卷第7页共8页 天津布实验中学TIANJIN EXPERIMENTAL HIGH SCHOOL this more than I do,best of luck."The words were clear but no name was left. They couldn't reach the kind stranger,so they had to write to the local paper thanking him/her. The article caught the eye of the leaders of some companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs on the couple's home. I was really inspired by this story,and I try to do things for others every chance I get.I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world. 71.Why does the author remember the storm so well?(no more than 15 words) 72.Why did the couple had difficulty in dealing with the problem by themselves after the storm? (no more than 20 words) 73.What does the underlined words in the second paragraph mean?(no more than I word) 74.How did the stranger help the couple?(no more than 15 words) 75.What do you think of the stranger's behavior?Please give your reasons.(no more than 20 words) 2024-2025学年度高二上学期第一次阶段学情调查英语学科试卷第8页共8页
