湛江市第二十一中学2024-2025学年第二学期开学考 英语 考试时间：100分钟，满分：100分 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共7小题;每小题2.5分，满分17.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项 A Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in. Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things. From chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not, about what they're allowed to do - these are all the kinds of things that I hear teenagers and parents tell me about. Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up. Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected. 1. What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers? A. Being strict from the start. B. Developing a good relationship with them first. C. Saying"No" to their requirements. D. Avoiding close talks with them. 2 Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow? A. Doing some housework. B. Having a good reading habit. C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Finishing your homework by five. 3. What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. In a hurry. B. On the plane. C. By oneself. D. Another day. 4. What's the best title for the text? A. Growing Pains B. Teenage Problems C. Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D. Knowing the Conflict 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 4. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述青少年和父母之间发生的冲突及解决方案。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me” (在我们考虑青少年的规则界限之前，我们需要确保我们有一个非常好的关系基础。说“从现在开始，你必须听我的”是没有意义的)”可知，家长与孩子后期建立规则界限的关键是跟孩子有良好的关系基石。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. (你为青少年制定的规则越详细，他们就越有可能遵守这些规则。)”可知 D选项“5点前完成作业。”规则最详细，故选D。 【3题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后“This is not the right time to be dealing with it. Were ally want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. (现在不是处理这件事的时候。我们希望父母和青少年在问题出现之前坐下来想想家里可能发生的事情。)”可推断上文意思是我们经常在匆忙中处理冲突，所以画线词意思是“匆忙地”，和In a hurry的意思最为接近。故选A。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in. (青少年和父母之间发生冲突的原因有很多。有时候青少年和父母之间会发生冲突，因为人类之间总是会发生冲突。人类有不同的需求，不同的感受，对自己想要的东西有不同的看法，与人的关系真的很困难。然而，由于正在发生的荷尔蒙变化和他们所处的人生阶段，青少年可能会引发进一步的冲突。)”可知文章主要讲述青少年和父母之间发生的冲突及解决方案。故选C。 B As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)” According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 5. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the information. D. The second group did not understand the information. 6. In transactive memory, people ___. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 7. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. 【答案】5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是互联网给人的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联网来储存信息，这样人们是否会丧失失去记忆的能力，专家怀疑互联网真的可能会改变人们记忆的能力和方式。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.可知第一组的人知道他们可以再次找到信息，所以他们没有试图记住它。由此可知，第一组的人没有努力去记这些信息。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”.可知当人们使用互联网时，他们不记得信息。相反，他们记得如何找到它。这被称为“交互记忆”。由此可知，在交互记忆中，人们记住如何找到信息。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.可知这并不意味着我们变得更聪明或更笨，但毫无疑问，我们使用记忆的方式正在改变。由此可推知，根据Sparrow的研究，互联网的影响是我们使用记忆的方式不同了。故选A。 第二节 阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning a language doesn’t happen in a day. ____8____ To get to the point when you can communicate with native speakers, you should pay attention to the following top tips given by successful language learners. •Study a little bit every day but efficiently When you organize to learn a lot of vocabulary or study several grammar patterns that are pretty challenging, your mind can’t take all of them simultaneously (同时地). Therefore, it is better to start with little steps and learn a little bit every day. It is often more efficient to learn 10 new words every day instead of learning 100 new words in a day. ____9____ •Don’t be afraid of making mistakes No one likes making mistakes. It affects your confidence and you are embarrassed (尴尬的) especially if there are more people around you. But when you learn a foreign language, making mistakes is something quite normal and expected. If you make mistakes, it isn’t the end of the world. Try to learn from your mistakes. ____10____ Look at them as a learning tool that helps you never make those mistakes again. • Track Your Progress Checking weekly or monthly progress against your language goals is highly-recommended. You might track the sentence structures learned, the phrases memorized, or the lectures followed. Being aware of your progress can help you see how much your efforts pay off. ____11____ This strategy will keep you motivated (受到激励的) to continue learning. ____12____ You, just like them, one day can be proud of yourself and your achievements in language learning. A. Make them useful experience. B. Try hard, and you will finally succeed. C. It takes a lot of time, organization, and effort. D. You won’t remember all the 100 words, after all. E. It is not only challenging, but also full of fun when you enjoy it. F. You can also treat yourself with a small gift when you reach a new level. G. The previous tips are from successful language learners who gladly shared them with you. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. F 12. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些语言学习策略。 【8题详解】 上文“Learning a language doesn’t happen in a day. (学会一门语言不是一天就能完成的)”可知，作者认为语言一天是学不好的，反言之，学习语言需要付出很多时间精力。选项C“It takes a lot of time, organization, and effort. (这需要大量的时间、安排和努力)”承接上文，指出学习语言需要大量时间，安排和努力。故选C项。 【9题详解】 上文“It is often more efficient to learn 10 new words every day instead of learning 100 new words in a day. (每天学习10个新词通常比一天学习100个新词更有效)”可知，作者认为坚持每天学习，可以少量，这样会比较有效。选项D“You won’t remember all the 100 words, after all. (毕竟，你不会记住所有的100个单词)”承接上文，指出，即使一天安排特别多得学习，但是可能根本就不会掌握好。故选D项。 【10题详解】 上文“If you make mistakes, it isn’t the end of the world. Try to learn from your mistakes. (如果你犯了错误，那不是世界末日。试着从错误中吸取教训)”可知，作者认为语言学习者要善于从错误中吸取教训。选项A“Make them useful experience. (使它们成为有用的经验)”承接上文，指出别被错误打倒，要把错误当成经验教训，符合语境。故选A项。 【11题详解】 下文“This strategy will keep you motivated (受到激励的) to continue learning. (这一策略将激励你继续学习)”可知，this strategy“这一策略”能激励人学习，但究竟为何策略，需要去上文找寻。选项F“You can also treat yourself with a small gift when you reach a new level. (当你达到一个新的水平时，你也可以给自己一份小礼物)”指出了一个激励自己的小策略，即购买礼物，下文是对这句话的延续。故选F项。 【12题详解】 下文“You, just like them, one day can be proud of yourself and your achievements in language learning. (你，就像他们一样，有一天可以为自己和你在语言学习方面的成就感到骄傲)”可知，作者在本章结尾处，鼓励读者学习上文提及的学习策略，那读者有朝一日也能成为成功的语言学习者，但此处“成功的语言学习者”是通过代词them“他们”指代的，故前文肯定会提到them指代的名词。选项G“The previous tips are from successful language learners who gladly shared them with you. (前面的提示来自成功的语言学习者，他们很乐意与你分享)”指出前文的提示建议来自成功的语言学习者，即下文them指代的对象，因此下文是对这句话的延续。故选G项。 第二部分 语言运用 (满分70分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 We live in a world increasingly controlled by science.

Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in. Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things. From chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not, about what they're allowed to do - these are all the kinds of things that I hear teenagers and parents tell me about. Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up. Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected. 1. What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers? A. Being strict from the start. B. Developing a good relationship with them first. C. Saying"No" to their requirements. D. Avoiding close talks with them. 2. Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow? A. Doing some housework. B. Having a good reading habit. C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Finishing your homework by five. 3. What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. In a hurry. B. On the plane. C. By oneself. D. Another day. 4. What's the best title for the text? A. Growing Pains B. Teenage Problems C. Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D. Knowing the Conflict B As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)” According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 5. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the information. D. The second group did not understand the information. 6. In transactive memory, people ___. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 7. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent. C We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. 第二节 阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning a language doesn’t happen in a day. ____8____ To get to the point when you can communicate with native speakers, you should pay attention to the following top tips given by successful language learners. •Study a little bit every day but efficiently When you organize to learn a lot of vocabulary or study several grammar patterns that are pretty challenging, your mind can’t take all of them simultaneously (同时地).
