(本次游览的重点是种类繁多的野生动物、黄石公园丰富的历史景观以及黄石超级火山数百万年来形成的迷人前景)”可知，关于这次旅行我们能知道它突出了野生动物、历史景观和火山景观。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Total fees: $300 per adult (age 13-99); 40% discount (age 1-12) (总费用：每位成人300美元（13-99岁）；40%折扣（1-12岁）)”可知，你应该为预订做的事情是为每个孩子支付300×(1-40%)=180美元。故选A。 B A few years ago, my sister­-in-­law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter.What was she doing after school?Where was she spending her time?My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after­class activities.Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kid’s phone. At first, this made my sister­in­law “feel better”．Then the good situation suddenly ended.She recalled,“I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn’t.I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends.”Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that. With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, according to a 2018 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question：To spy or not? Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found teens are more receptive to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family use agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said. Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don’t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for providing a smartphone.” For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media accounts so that he can review posts, and must share all passwords. When you’re trying to build credence, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they’ll be watching them,” said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they’re not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”. 4. Why did the author’s sister-­in-­law use the app? A. Because she was interested in new apps. B. Because she was worried about her daughter. C. Because she wanted to know about after­class activities. D. Because she wanted to teach her daughter about the app. 5. What can we learn about today’s children from Homayoun? A. They doubt family use agreements. B. They are worried about online safety. C They welcome the use of tracking apps. D. They dislike being spied on secretly with tracking apps. 6. According to paragraph 5, Bell’s daughter________. A. kept him out of her online groups B. developed some bad online habits C. allowed him to know her online behavior D. wanted to put a tracking app on her phone 7. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “credence” in the last paragraph? A. Trust. B. A credit card. C. Environment. D. Praise. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过作者的侄女被母亲用手机软件跟踪的事情引出话题，然后针对在科技发展的新时期，家长应如何关注青少年的健康成长进行了讨论。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“A few years ago, my sister-­in­law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter.（几年前，我的嫂子开始担心她十几岁的女儿。）”可知，作者的嫂子为什么会使用这款跟踪软件是因为她很担心孩子，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中Homayoun所说的话“‘I’ve found teens are more receptive to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family use agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,’she said.（她说:“我发现，如果把追踪应用作为家庭使用协议的一部分，以提高安全性，那么青少年更容易接受它，而不是把它作为监视他们的秘密工具。”）”可知，Homayoun认为，如果出于安全考虑，孩子们是接受手机跟踪软件的，但是如果出于秘密监视的目的，孩子们就不能接受。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media accounts so that he can review posts, and must share all passwords.（例如，他的女儿必须在社交媒体账户上加他为好友，这样他才能查看帖子，还必须分享所有密码。）”可知，Bell的女儿是不排斥Bell了解其网上行为的。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中画线单词后文的“ So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. （所以，为了赢得他们的信任，你需要对你的孩子坦诚相待。）”可知，此处是介绍如何赢得孩子的信任，由此可知画线词词义为“信任”，故选A。 C It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations. Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems. Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again. This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet. 8. In Paragraph 1, the numbers are used to______. A. show the ways of making friends B. introduce the topic C. explain the reason D. persuade readers to make more friends 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. There is a rule about making friends. B. People with different views can become friends. C. Friendships mean different things to different people. D. Some people would die for their friends if they need to. 10. We can learn from the passage that most of us ______. A. need to have friends B. build friendships late in life C. are dissatisfied with our friends D. are frightened to talk to people 11. What is the authors attitude towards talking to a stranger? A. Uninterested. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了友谊在不同情况下有不同的意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations. (如果这些数字是正确的，友谊在不同的情况下意味着不同的东西)”可知，本段中的数字用于介绍文章主题：友谊在不同情况下有不同的意义。故选B项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. (人们对此有非常不同的看法：有些人会为他们的朋友而死，他们认为朋友比家人更重要。另一些人说朋友是暂时的，只是在那里互相帮助，直到他们不再需要)”可知，本段主要说明了友谊对不同的人有不同的意义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. (这种不满表明友谊对我们大多数人来说是多么重要。我们不应该认为现在建立友谊可能太晚了。我们还需要明白，很多人都需要和别人在一起)”可知，我们大多数人都需要朋友。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet. (因此，我们不应该太害怕开始与未来可能成为我们朋友的人交谈：很可能他们也想更接近我们。记住人们说的：陌生人是我们还没见过的朋友)”可知，作者对与陌生人交谈的态度是积极的。故选D项。 D Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer. The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8, 000 more than those who were the most depressed. The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more. Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking. A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men). And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest. The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought. "These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success," one of the report's authors writes. "But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork." 12. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study? A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier. B. Money can make people become happier. C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all. D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success. 13. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____. A. they are easy to communicate with others B. they are good at doing their schoolwork C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day 14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”. A. upset B. glorious C. happy D. wealthy 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The way to educate kids B. The source of happiness C. How to achieve your goal D. The secret of being wealthier 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要讨论幸福与富有有密切的关系。经过对青少年的调查发现感到最幸福的青年人比感到最不幸福的青年人收入高。调查还发现，家庭作业会伤害青少年，不会让青少年感到幸福。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success(这些发现表明，青少年的幸福对他们未来的成功很重要)”可推知，快乐的青少年长大后会更富有。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life.(更快乐的青少年更容易完成学业、上大学和参加工作面试，主要是因为他们对生活的感觉更好)”可知，快乐的人有更多成功的机会的主要原因是，他们对生活充满希望和乐观。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.(无论他们多么高或多么聪明，比他们的同龄人挣得少10%，而快乐的人挣得多30%)”可知，while前后是比对关系，while后面句子的主语是the happier(更幸福的人)。由此推知，while前面的句子主语应是不幸福的人，伤心的。由此推知，划线词gloomy与upset意思相近。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.(幸福和金钱哪个更重要?富人更幸福吗?如果是这样，人们是如何变得更富有的?最近的一项研究可以告诉你答案)”可知，本文主要讲述了幸福与富有有密切关系的研究。由此可知，The secret of being wealthier(变得更富有的秘密)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 第二节（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。 For someone who enjoys gardening, gifts for their garden can be very thoughtful and appreciated by them.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 西充中学高一下学期3月月考英语试题 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题并阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B A few years ago my sister­-in-­law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter.What was she doing after school?Where was she spending her time?My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after­class activities.Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kid’s phone. At first, this made my sister­in­law “feel better”．Then the good situation suddenly ended.She recalled,“I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn’t.I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends.”Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that. With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, according to a 2018 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question：To spy or not? Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found teens are more receptive to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family use agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said. Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don’t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for providing a smartphone.” For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media accounts so that he can review posts, and must share all passwords. When you’re trying to build credence, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they’ll be watching them,” said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they’re not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”. 4. Why did the author’s sister-­in-­law use the app? A. Because she was interested in new apps. B. Because she was worried about her daughter. C. Because she wanted to know about after­class activities. D Because she wanted to teach her daughter about the app. 5. What can we learn about today’s children from Homayoun? A. They doubt family use agreements. B. They are worried about online safety. C. They welcome the use of tracking apps. D. They dislike being spied on secretly with tracking apps. 6. According to paragraph 5, Bell’s daughter________. A. kept him out of her online groups B. developed some bad online habits C. allowed him to know her online behavior D. wanted to put a tracking app on her phone 7. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “credence” in the last paragraph? A. Trust. B. A credit card. C. Environment. D. Praise. C It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations. Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems. Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again. This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet. 8. In Paragraph 1, the numbers are used to______. A. show the ways of making friends B. introduce the topic C. explain the reason D. persuade readers to make more friends 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. There is a rule about making friends. B. People with different views can become friends. C. Friendships mean different things to different people. D. Some people would die for their friends if they need to. 10. We can learn from the passage that most of us ______. A. need to have friends B. build friendships late in life C. are dissatisfied with our friends D. are frightened to talk to people 11. What is the authors attitude towards talking to a stranger? A. Uninterested. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. D Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer. The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8, 000 more than those who were the most depressed. The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more. Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking. A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men). And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest. The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought. "These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success," one of the report's authors writes. "But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork." 12. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study? A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier. B. Money can make people become happier. C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all. D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success. 13. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____. A. they are easy to communicate with others B. they are good at doing their schoolwork C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day 14. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”. A. upset B. glorious C. happy D. wealthy 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The way to educate kids B. The source of happiness C. How to achieve your goal D. The secret of being wealthier 第二节（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。 For someone who enjoys gardening, gifts for their garden can be very thoughtful and appreciated by them.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
