When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher Joan announced that we were going to learn about prepositional phrases (介词短语) . “There are over forty commonly used prepositions,” she continued. “And everyone must memorize them.” Joan recited (背诵) these prepositions as easily as saying the days of the week. She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them. I tried my best and finally succeeded. Then, grammar became easier, just as Joan had promised.
In addition to singing the prepositions, she shared other useful language points. I still remembered her catchy phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.”
After high school, I went to college, majoring (主修) in — my parents couldn’t believe it — English! In a creative writing class in my junior year, I recited the prepositions for my professor and classmates. I explained how my eighth-grade teacher, Joan, had often said that a strategically placed prepositional phrase could add depth and variety to sentences. Impressed, my professor asked for a copy of Joan’s list and other tricks of the trade that I remembered.
After graduating from college, I landed a job teaching eighth-grade English. I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy. I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part. Before long, the students were singing the prepositions to their favorite tunes. One year, since it was near Christmas, we all sang the prepositions to “Jingle Bells”.
I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less. If you thought that was impossible, then you didn’t know eighth graders. They welcomed any trouble, and with no homework as a motivator, they got right down to business. I pulled out a stopwatch and timed the students daily to judge their progress; 21, 16, 12, then bingo, 10 seconds!
I taught eighth-grade English for thirty-eight years. Looking back, teaching English was a tough but worthwhile job, and I loved it every day.
4. Why did Joan ask her students to memorize prepositions?
A. She wanted them to overcome their weak points.
B. She thought this benefits their grammar learning.
C. Memory exercises are a quick way to learn English.
D. Prepositions are a hot part to be examined in exams.
5. What happened in the author’s creative writing class?
A. He introduced his former teacher to his classmates.
B. He showed everyone his ways of learning grammar
C. His professor was interested in Joan’s teaching methods.
D. His talent for being a teacher was recognized by his professor.
6. What is implied about the author’s students from Paragraph 5?
A. They joined colorful after-class activities.
B. They tried their best to avoid their homework.
C. They sometimes failed to follow the author’s instructions.
D. They made gradual progress in remembering the prepositions.
7. What can be inferred about the author?
A. He was greatly influenced by Joan. B. He found his job full of challenges.
C. He was very popular among his students. D. He devoted all his life to grammar teaching.
C
Right now you probably spend most of your time in school. Do you wonder what you are going to do after high school? Will you continue to go to school? Will you learn a trade? Perhaps it is time to think about your choices and to prepare for them. Some day work will be a big part of your life.
What kind of job would be right for you? Think about your interests and your skills. You may like to listen to music, dance, play basketball, or work with computers. You may know how to drive a car or how to get along with people. Knowing both your interests and skills will help make a better plan for your career.
To get an idea of what work you would like to do, make a list of your interests and a list of your skills. Think about what you have done to be successful in your interests. After that, brainstorm a list of career choices that might match your interests and skills. You can later keep your lists with the projects and documents (文件) that can help you achieve the career you want.
They can help you know more clearly about your achievements in school and in the world of work. Roberta Zhan, an art designer, finds her work satisfying because it allows her to use her interests and skills. She enjoyed imagining something in her minds eye while she was in school. She took art, design, and computer lessons, and also learned about taking photos on her own.
Here is what she says about the meaning of work: “If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money. It means using your talents, making a contribution (贡献), and getting a real sense of satisfaction from doing a job.”
8. The passage is most probably written to________.
A. students B. teachers C. parents D. designers
9. At the beginning, the writer introduces the topic of the passage by________.
A. listing facts B. giving examples
C. asking questions D. explaining differences
10. Roberta Zhan might be most interested in when she was at school________.
A. singing songs B. creating pictures
C. playing basketball D. playing computer games
11. The passage is mainly about________.
A. the real meaning of work B. the importance of interests and skills
C. the journey of Roberta’s life D. the way of preparing for the future
D
By now, nearly everyone knows we can be addicted to our digital devices (设备). The average smartphone user seldom goes two hours without using her device, unlocks her device 50 or more times a day, and taps on it as many as 2,617 times in the process. The youth are particularly affected: A 2018 Pew Research Center report found that 44% of teens said they often check their devices for messages or notifications as soon as they wake up, 54% said they spend too much time on their mobile phone, and 42% feel anxiety when they do not have it.
A device addiction is quite harmful. According to the technology research firm Compare Camp, 26% of car accidents in the U.S. today are due to the use of smartphones while driving. Besides, it is concerned with depression and anxiety. These problems are known to almost everyone; the solutions, less so. Some experts suggest taxation (征税) to help limit digital overuse. Others say the only way to beat an addiction is to quit cold turkey and go device-free.
But in a world of electronic payments, digital documents, and remote work, a truly smartphone-free lifestyle is getting less and less likely. A better-and, for many of us, more reasonable-way is to manage addictive behavior by moderating (使适度) device use. This isn’t just a matter of setting screen-time limits you can easily break; rather, you can start to develop specific habits to replace the unhealthy ones that keep sending you back to your phone.
The digital-technology expert Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method, that is he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again. If he needs to look at it, he does so only at the entrance hall. Just as the Greek Stoic philosopher (哲学家) Epictetus once said, “No man is free who is not master of himself.”
12. How does the writer explain phone addiction in paragraph 1?
A. By giving reasons. B. By listing data.
C. By raising questions. D. By making comparisons.
13. What does the underlined word “quit cold turkey” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Charge a tax. B. Stop eating turkeys.
C. Stop using smartphones. D. Discourage smoking.
14. Why does the author quote Epictetus in the last paragraph?
A. To show respect to Epictetus.
B. To prove the “phone foyer” method.
C. To advise people to be a master.
D. To inspire people to get rid of phone addiction.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Break a Phone Addiction
B. Effect of Phone Addiction on Teens
C. Phone Addiction Ruins Our Freedom
D. Device Addiction Contributes to Anxiety

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the beginning of a new year, and I was in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence.
There was a speech competition three months later. The selection was left to our strict English teacher Mrs.Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Strangely though, on the day her decision was to be announced to us, she proclaimed, “Jane shall be the one who will join the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. “You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs. Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice.
The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs. Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and grinned at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?” Instantly, my throat went dry. Butterflies fluttered around in my stomach, crashing against my stomach walls and making me feel sick.
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. However, I stumbled a little and panicked, unable to go on. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment.
After school, Mrs. Lee called me to her office, where she gave me a few pointers on how to overcome stage fright. Patiently, she went through the speech with me several times until my utterly bad pronunciation was “cured”. It was with much patience that Mrs. Lee worked through those three months with me, ensuring that my words were crisp and clear and teaching me how to put expressions into my sentences.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1: Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion.

When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher Joan announced that we were going to learn about prepositional phrases (介词短语) . “There are over forty commonly used prepositions,” she continued. “And everyone must memorize them.” Joan recited (背诵) these prepositions as easily as saying the days of the week. She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them. I tried my best and finally succeeded. Then, grammar became easier, just as Joan had promised.
In addition to singing the prepositions, she shared other useful language points. I still remembered her catchy phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.”
After high school, I went to college, majoring (主修) in — my parents couldn’t believe it — English! In a creative writing class in my junior year, I recited the prepositions for my professor and classmates. I explained how my eighth-grade teacher, Joan, had often said that a strategically placed prepositional phrase could add depth and variety to sentences. Impressed, my professor asked for a copy of Joan’s list and other tricks of the trade that I remembered.
After graduating from college, I landed a job teaching eighth-grade English. I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy. I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part. Before long, the students were singing the prepositions to their favorite tunes. One year, since it was near Christmas, we all sang the prepositions to “Jingle Bells”.
I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less. If you thought that was impossible, then you didn’t know eighth graders. They welcomed any trouble, and with no homework as a motivator, they got right down to business. I pulled out a stopwatch and timed the students daily to judge their progress; 21, 16, 12, then bingo, 10 seconds!
I taught eighth-grade English for thirty-eight years. Looking back, teaching English was a tough but worthwhile job, and I loved it every day.
4. Why did Joan ask her students to memorize prepositions?
A. She wanted them to overcome their weak points.
B. She thought this benefits their grammar learning.
C. Memory exercises are a quick way to learn English.
D. Prepositions are a hot part to be examined in exams.
5. What happened in the author’s creative writing class?
A. He introduced his former teacher to his classmates.
B. He showed everyone his ways of learning grammar
C. His professor was interested in Joan’s teaching methods.
D. His talent for being a teacher was recognized by his professor.
6. What is implied about the author’s students from Paragraph 5?
A. They joined colorful after-class activities.
B. They tried their best to avoid their homework.
C. They sometimes failed to follow the author’s instructions.
D. They made gradual progress in remembering the prepositions.
7. What can be inferred about the author?
A. He was greatly influenced by Joan. B. He found his job full of challenges.
C. He was very popular among his students. D. He devoted all his life to grammar teaching.

(我还要求学生们在十秒钟或更短的时间内背诵介词。如果你觉得这不可能,那你就不了解八年级的学生。他们喜欢任何挑战,而且因为没有家庭作业作为动力,他们立刻就开始认真学习了。我拿出一个秒表,每天给学生们计时,以评估他们的进步;21秒、16秒、12秒,然后成功了,10秒!)”可知,学生们在逐步进步,故选择D项。

Right now you probably spend most of your time in school. Do you wonder what you are going to do after high school? Will you continue to go to school? Will you learn a trade? Perhaps it is time to think about your choices and to prepare for them. Some day work will be a big part of your life.
What kind of job would be right for you? Think about your interests and your skills. You may like to listen to music, dance, play basketball, or work with computers. You may know how to drive a car or how to get along with people. Knowing both your interests and skills will help make a better plan for your career.
To get an idea of what work you would like to do, make a list of your interests and a list of your skills. Think about what you have done to be successful in your interests. After that, brainstorm a list of career choices that might match your interests and skills. You can later keep your lists with the projects and documents (文件) that can help you achieve the career you want.
They can help you know more clearly about your achievements in school and in the world of work. Roberta Zhan, an art designer, finds her work satisfying because it allows her to use her interests and skills. She enjoyed imagining something in her minds eye while she was in school. She took art, design, and computer lessons, and also learned about taking photos on her own.
Here is what she says about the meaning of work: “If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money. It means using your talents, making a contribution (贡献), and getting a real sense of satisfaction from doing a job.”

By now, nearly everyone knows we can be addicted to our digital devices (设备). The average smartphone user seldom goes two hours without using her device, unlocks her device 50 or more times a day, and taps on it as many as 2,617 times in the process. The youth are particularly affected: A 2018 Pew Research Center report found that 44% of teens said they often check their devices for messages or notifications as soon as they wake up, 54% said they spend too much time on their mobile phone, and 42% feel anxiety when they do not have it.
A device addiction is quite harmful. According to the technology research firm Compare Camp, 26% of car accidents in the U.S. today are due to the use of smartphones while driving. Besides, it is concerned with depression and anxiety. These problems are known to almost everyone; the solutions, less so. Some experts suggest taxation (征税) to help limit digital overuse. Others say the only way to beat an addiction is to quit cold turkey and go device-free.
But in a world of electronic payments, digital documents, and remote work, a truly smartphone-free lifestyle is getting less and less likely. A better-and, for many of us, more reasonable-way is to manage addictive behavior by moderating (使适度) device use. This isn’t just a matter of setting screen-time limits you can easily break; rather, you can start to develop specific habits to replace the unhealthy ones that keep sending you back to your phone.
The digital-technology expert Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method, that is he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again. If he needs to look at it, he does so only at the entrance hall. Just as the Greek Stoic philosopher (哲学家) Epictetus once said, “No man is free who is not master of himself.”
12. How does the writer explain phone addiction in paragraph 1?
A. By giving reasons. B. By listing data.
C. By raising questions. D. By making comparisons.
13. What does the underlined word “quit cold turkey” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Charge a tax. B. Stop eating turkeys.
C. Stop using smartphones. D. Discourage smoking.
14. Why does the author quote Epictetus in the last paragraph?
A. To show respect to Epictetus.
B. To prove the “phone foyer” method.
C To advise people to be a master.
D. To inspire people to get rid of phone addiction.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Break a Phone Addiction
B. Effect of Phone Addiction on Teens
C. Phone Addiction Ruins Our Freedom
D. Device Addiction Contributes to Anxiety
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了手机成瘾的危害及戒除手机成瘾的方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The average smartphone user seldom goes two hours without using her device, unlocks her device 50 or more times a day, and taps on it as many as 2,617 times in the process. The youth are particularly affected: A 2018 Pew Research Center report found that 44% of teens said they often check their devices for messages or notifications as soon as they wake up, 54% said they spend too much time on their mobile phone, and 42% feel anxiety when they do not have it.(普通智能手机用户很少有连续两小时不使用设备的情况,每天解锁设备50次或更多次,过程中点击设备次数高达2617次。年轻人受影响尤其严重:皮尤研究中心2018年的一份报告发现,44%的青少年表示,他们经常在醒来后立即查看设备上的信息或通知,54%的人表示他们在手机上花费了太多时间,42%的人在没有手机时会感到焦虑)”可推知,作者通过列举数据来解释手机成瘾现象。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Some experts suggest taxation (征税) to help limit digital overuse.(一些专家建议征税来帮助限制数字产品的过度使用)”以及后文“and go device-free(并且不再使用电子设备)”可知,另一些专家表示,戒掉上瘾的唯一方法是立即戒掉,不再使用智能手机。故划线词意思是“不再使用智能手机”。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The digital-technology expert Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method, that is he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again. If he needs to look at it, he does so only at the entrance hall. Just as the Greek Stoic philosopher (哲学家) Epictetus once said, “No man is free who is not master of himself.”(数字技术专家卡尔·纽波特推荐“电话门厅”的方法,即当他走进家门时,把手机放在前门,直到再次离开时才把手机放进口袋。如果他需要看手机,他只会在门厅看。正如古希腊斯多葛学派哲学家爱比克泰德曾经说过的:“不能控制自己的人是不自由的。”)”可推知,作者在最后一段引用爱比克泰德的话是为了激励人们摆脱手机成瘾。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“But in a world of electronic payments, digital documents, and remote work, a truly smartphone-free lifestyle is getting less and less likely. A better-and, for many of us, more reasonable-way is to manage addictive behavior by moderating (使适度) device use. This isn’t just a matter of setting screen-time limits you can easily break; rather, you can start to develop specific habits to replace the unhealthy ones that keep sending you back to your phone.(但在电子支付、数字文档和远程办公的世界里,真正摆脱智能手机的生活方式越来越不可能实现。对我们许多人来说,一个更好、更合理的方法是通过适度使用设备来管理成瘾行为。这不仅仅是设定一个你很容易打破的屏幕时间限制的问题;相反,你可以开始养成特定的习惯,来取代那些让你不断回到手机上的不健康习惯)”并结合全文可知,文章主要讲述了手机成瘾的现象及其危害,并提出了管理成瘾行为的建议。A选项“如何戒掉手机瘾”最符合文章标题。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the beginning of a new year, and I was in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence.
There was a speech competition three months later. The selection was left to our strict English teacher Mrs.Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Strangely though, on the day her decision was to be announced to us, she proclaimed, “Jane shall be the one who will join the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. “You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs. Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice.
The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs. Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and grinned at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?” Instantly, my throat went dry. Butterflies fluttered around in my stomach, crashing against my stomach walls and making me feel sick.
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. However, I stumbled a little and panicked, unable to go on. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment.
After school, Mrs. Lee called me to her office, where she gave me a few pointers on how to overcome stage fright. Patiently, she went through the speech with me several times until my utterly bad pronunciation was “cured”. It was with much patience that Mrs. Lee worked through those three months with me, ensuring that my words were crisp and clear and teaching me how to put expressions into my sentences.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1: Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, the day of my competition arrived. As I stepped into the hall, I was overwhelmed by stress and nerves, which drained the blood from my face. Instantly, Mrs. Lee took my cold, clammy hands in hers and spoke words of encouragement. I immediately gained confidence and beamed with a smile. When the host called my name, I strode up to the stage with my heart pounding so hard. Reaching for the microphone, I closed my eyes, smiled, and then opened them, casting aside all my fears. I began speaking, and my voice came out crisp and clear, with perfect articulation. Before I knew it, the speech was over, and everyone was giving me a standing ovation.
When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion. They invited me to go up on stage to receive the trophy. I was dizzy with delight and could not suppress my nervous giggles, my grins, or the tears of joy welling up in my eyes. I had won! I could do it! I didn’t let all my hard work go to waste, nor did I disappoint Mrs. Lee, who had put in so much effort! Smiling into the audience, I spotted Mrs. Lee, who was smiling back at me with pride sparkling in her eyes. “Thank you, Mrs. Lee!” I thought to myself. “You have proven that nothing is insurmountable, as long as I do not give up and work hard!”
