As she struggled to complete the project, Jamie began to doubt (怀疑) herself. She wondered if she was cut out for high school. But then, something great happened.

A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle ,increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的). The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged. “Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier Research Centre,in a statement. Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep. Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12,iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed. 28. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2? A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly. C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance. 29. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior? A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food. C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness. 30. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’s study? A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It led to children’s obesity. C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It negatively influenced moods. 31. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem? A. Reduce its products’ battery life. B. Provide a screen time feature. C. Introduce “digital well-being” tools. D. Add a “wind down” option to its products. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。孩子在电子设备上花太多的时间会变胖，一些企业为减少人们使用手机的时间计划引进新工具。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前句“Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped,(虽然儿童和青少年观看电视的人数有所下降，)”和转折词but可知，智能手机和平板电脑的使用却在激增。surged与dropped意思相反，所以surged为“激增”之意。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen(主要是因为孩子们在屏幕前吃饭时不会注意到自己已经饱了)”可知，屏幕前吃饭会影响儿童的饱足感。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. (去年，圣地亚哥州立大学(SDSU)研究人员的一项研究发现，每天在屏幕前呆5个小时或更长时间的青少年中，有近一半的人经历了很长时间的绝望或悲伤。)”可知，该研究显示，花费太多时间在屏幕前会对情绪有消极的影响。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As for iOS 12, iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices.(至于iOS 12，苹果手机将包含屏幕时间功能，用户可以控制和回顾自己在移动设备上的时间。)”可知，苹果手机增加了屏幕时间功能。故选B。 D The decision to delay morning arrival times in Nanjing has caused a wide discussion about how to balance students’ academic (学业的) needs with their health. While some people support the change, others worry about its possible effects. Supporters of the policy argue that sleep is very important for teenagers’ growth. They point out that students who do not get enough sleep often feel tired, worried, or unable to focus. In contrast, well-rested students are more likely to take an active part in class and perform better in exams. Some experts also note that a good breakfast plays an important role in students’ health and learning. With a later start time, students can have enough time to eat well and prepare for the day. People who disagree with the policy, however, express concerns about the influence on academic performance. They argue that reducing morning study time might lead to lower grades, especially for students who need more practice or review. Some parents worry that students will become lazy if they do not have to get up early. They also question whether schools can really improve classroom efficiency (效率) enough to make up for the lost time. To better study the effects of the new schedule, education departments in Nanjing plan to collect feedback from students, parents, and teachers over the next few months. They will record changes in students’ sleep quality, attendance rates, and academic performance. If the results show that the policy is beneficial, it may be carried out in more schools. If problems arise, further changes may be made. In the long run, experts suggest that improving students’ well-being requires the efforts of schools, families, and society. Schools should not only change schedules but also improve teaching quality. Parents should help their children develop good sleep habits and create a quiet environment at home. Students themselves should learn to manage their time wisely and avoid staying up late. Only in this way can the goal of reducing burden and improving quality be truly achieved. 32. What do supporters of the policy believe? A. Students should get up as early as possible. B. Sleep is not important for academic performance. C. After-school services are more important than sleep. D. Well-rested students are more likely to perform better. 33. How does the author develop the argument in the passage? A. By listing historical events related to education. B. By describing personal experiences of students. C. By comparing different countries’ school systems. D. By presenting both supporting and opposing views. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. The policy will be carried out in all schools in Nanjing. B. The new schedule will probably be changed according to future results. C. Schools play a more important role than families in students’ well-being. D. Students can make up for lost learning time by studying more efficiently. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of after-school services. B. The debate about later school start times. C. The reasons for students’ sleep problems. D. The benefits of delayed school start times. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍南京推迟早上到校时间引发的争论及相关后续安排与多方建议。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In contrast, well-rested students are more likely to take an active part in class and perform better in exams.(相比之下，休息充分的学生更有可能积极参与课堂并在考试中取得更好的成绩。)” 可知，政策支持者认为休息好的学生更可能表现优异。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The decision to delay morning arrival times in Nanjing has caused a wide discussion about how to balance students’ academic (学业的) needs with their health. While some people support the change, others worry about its possible effects.(南京推迟早上到校时间的这一决定，引发了一场关于如何平衡学生学业需求与身体健康的广泛讨论。一部分人支持这项调整，而另一些人则担忧它可能带来的影响)”可知可知，文章先引出话题，根据第二段“Supporters of the policy argue that sleep is very important for teenagers’ growth.(这项政策的支持者认为，睡眠对青少年的成长至关重要)”可知，第二段陈述支持者观点；根据第三段“People who disagree with the policy, however, express concerns about the influence on academic performance.(然而，反对这项政策的人对（该政策）给学业成绩带来的影响表示担忧)”可知，第三段阐述反对者的担忧，由此可知，作者是通过展示正反两种观点展开论述。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“If the results show that the policy is beneficial, it may be carried out in more schools. If problems arise, further changes may be made.(如果结果表明这项政策有益，它可能会在更多学校推行。如果出现问题，将会做出进一步调整。)” 可知，新的作息可能会根据后续结果进行改动。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The decision to delay morning arrival times in Nanjing has caused a wide discussion about how to balance students’ academic (学业的) needs with their health. While some people support the change, others worry about its possible effects.(南京推迟早上到校时间的这一决定，引发了一场关于如何平衡学生学业需求与身体健康的广泛讨论。一部分人支持这项调整，而另一些人则担忧它可能带来的影响)”可知，首段点明南京推迟早上到校时间引发广泛讨论，后文分别讲述支持、反对意见以及后续调研，围绕推迟上学时间的争论展开。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Live Your Life with Purpose No matter who you are or what you do, there is a purpose for life.

F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何有目标地生活提出了几点建议。 【36题详解】 上文“A sense of purpose is an essential part of a happy life. (目标感是幸福生活的重要组成部分)”指出目标感在幸福生活中必不可少。C项“因此，你必须努力使你的生活有目的。”与前一句构成因果关系，承接上文，符合语境。且下一句中的“do so”指的就是C项中的“live your life with purpose”。故选C项。 【37题详解】 本段首句“Learn to be self-aware. (要学会了解自己)”为本段主旨句，说的是要学会了解自己，故下文应该围绕该主题展开。上文“People tend to overestimate their strong points and ignore their weak points. (人们往往高估了自己的优点，而忽视了自己的缺点)”指出人们往往会忽视自己的弱项，然而要想有目的地生活，就得了解真实的自我。G项“然而，如果你想找到你的人生目标，你应该先了解你真正的自我。”符合文意，承接上文。且G项中的“learn your true self”与上文“Learn to be self-aware.”相呼应。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“I’m strongly convinced that everybody should have something favorite to pursue (我坚信，每个人的一生都应该有自己喜欢的追求)”以及“Your enthusiasm makes your life worthwhile and meaningful. (你的热情使你的生活有价值和意义)”可推知，本段主要建议读者做自己喜欢做的事情。B项“追随你所热爱的。”符合段意，引出下文。故选B项。 【39题详解】 上文“Setting short-term and long-term goals can add meaning to your life.

It 82. correctly 83. was laughed 84. with 85. interested 86. to change 87. and 88. students 89. a 90. working 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者小学时不喜欢上学、学习困难且常被嘲笑，后来改变学习态度，坚持努力，成绩不断进步的经历。 【81题详解】 考查代词。句意：对我来说读和写很困难，而且我总是不能正确地回答老师的问题。此处为固定句型It is/was difficult for sb. to do sth.“对某人来说做某事是困难的”，It作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式to read and write，所以此处填It。 【82题详解】 考查副词。句意：对我来说读和写很困难，而且我总是不能正确地回答老师的问题。此处修饰动词answer，应用副词形式，correct的副词是correctly，意为“正确地”。 【83题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：我在学校哭了很多次，因为我被同学们嘲笑。此处为because引导的原因状语从句的谓语动词，主语I与laugh at之间是被动关系，且全文叙述过去发生的事，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语I是第一人称单数，所以用was laughed。 【84题详解】 考查介词。句意：我父母总是会对我生气。get annoyed with sb.是固定搭配，意为“对某人生气”，所以此处填介词with。 【85题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我感到非常难过，而且对学习不感兴趣。be interested in是固定搭配，意为“对……感兴趣”，此处修饰人，表示“感到感兴趣的”，用-ed 形式的形容词interested。 【86题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：但后来有一天，我决定改变我对学习的态度。decide to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“决定做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式to change。 【87题详解】 考查连词。句意：所以我最终在课堂上更加专心，并且开始练习我的词汇和口语技能。此处连接paying more attention in class和started to practice my vocabulary and speaking skills两个并列的动作，表示顺承、并列关系，所以用连词and。 【88题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：到五年级时，我已经成为班上最优秀的学生之一。one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数，意为“最……的……之一”，所以此处用student的复数形式students。 【89题详解】 考查冠词。句意：现在，作为一名高中生，我知道一开始可能会很难。student为可数名词单数，此处表示“一名高中生”，为泛指，且senior是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【90题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：但就像我在小学的过去一样，我知道如果我继续努力并且不放弃，我就会成功。keep doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“继续做某事”，所以此处用动名词working。 第四部分 写作（满分15分） 91. 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom刚进入高中，他在邮件里倾诉自己很难适应高中新生活，学习压力大，不太会和同学相处。请你给他写一封回信，提出建议。 内容要点： 1.安慰对方； 2.给出你的建议； 3.表达祝愿。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 3.开头、结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom, I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new high school life. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文 基础版 Dear Tom, I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new high school life.

But for one student, today was unlike any other day. Today was the first day of high school for a freshman, Jamie. Jamie had always been a bit of a shy kid, but she had always loved her studies. She made up her mind to make the most of her high school years, but she knew that it wouldn’t be easy. As she walked down the hallways, Jamie couldn’t help but feel worried. The older students seemed so confident, while she felt small and unimportant. But Jamie was determined to succeed, no matter what challenges came her way. It wasn’t long before Jamie was faced with a challenge. In her first week of school, she was assigned (分派) a project that required a lot of research and planning. Jamie tried her best, but she soon realized that she was in over her head (力不从心). As she struggled to complete the project, Jamie began to doubt (怀疑) herself. She wondered if she was cut out for high school. But then, something great happened. Jamie’s classmates began to notice how hard she was working, and they started to offer her help and support. They gave her advice on how to manage her time better, and they shared their tips for getting through assignments. With their help, Jamie was able to complete the project on time and with great success. From that day on, Jamie realized that high school was not a challenge to be faced alone. With the help and support of her classmates, she was able to deal with any difficulty that came her way. And as she grew more confident in herself and her abilities, she knew that she was destined (注定) for great things. 24. What can we know about Jamie on the first day of high school? A. She was filled with confidence. B. She was no longer shy as usual. C. She lost heart and was disappointed. D. She was worried but determined. 25. What was Jamie asked to do in her first week? A. Complete a project. B. Join a research team. C. Focus on her interests. D. Plan well ahead of time. 26. What did Jamie’s classmates do after noticing how busy she was? A. They laughed at her. B. They showed off their success. C. They did her homework for her. D. They offered her encouragement. 27. Which of the following can best describe Jamie’s attitude to her high school life? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Uncaring. C Too much screen time for kids can lead to poor health the American Heart Association (AHA) says. A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle ,increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的). The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged. “Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier Research Centre,in a statement. Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep. Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12,iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed. 28. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2? A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly. C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance. 29. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior? A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food. C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness. 30. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’s study? A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It led to children’s obesity. C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It negatively influenced moods. 31. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem? A. Reduce its products’ battery life. B. Provide a screen time feature. C. Introduce “digital well-being” tools. D. Add a “wind down” option to its products. D The decision to delay morning arrival times in Nanjing has caused a wide discussion about how to balance students’ academic (学业的) needs with their health. While some people support the change, others worry about its possible effects. Supporters of the policy argue that sleep is very important for teenagers’ growth. They point out that students who do not get enough sleep often feel tired, worried, or unable to focus. In contrast, well-rested students are more likely to take an active part in class and perform better in exams. Some experts also note that a good breakfast plays an important role in students’ health and learning. With a later start time, students can have enough time to eat well and prepare for the day. People who disagree with the policy, however, express concerns about the influence on academic performance. They argue that reducing morning study time might lead to lower grades, especially for students who need more practice or review. Some parents worry that students will become lazy if they do not have to get up early. They also question whether schools can really improve classroom efficiency (效率) enough to make up for the lost time. To better study the effects of the new schedule, education departments in Nanjing plan to collect feedback from students, parents, and teachers over the next few months. They will record changes in students’ sleep quality, attendance rates, and academic performance. If the results show that the policy is beneficial, it may be carried out in more schools. If problems arise, further changes may be made. In the long run, experts suggest that improving students’ well-being requires the efforts of schools, families, and society. Schools should not only change schedules but also improve teaching quality. Parents should help their children develop good sleep habits and create a quiet environment at home. Students themselves should learn to manage their time wisely and avoid staying up late. Only in this way can the goal of reducing burden and improving quality be truly achieved. 32. What do supporters of the policy believe? A. Students should get up as early as possible. B. Sleep is not important for academic performance. C. After-school services are more important than sleep. D. Well-rested students are more likely to perform better. 33. How does the author develop the argument in the passage? A. By listing historical events related to education. B. By describing personal experiences of students. C. By comparing different countries’ school systems. D. By presenting both supporting and opposing views. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. The policy will be carried out in all schools in Nanjing. B. The new schedule will probably be changed according to future results. C. Schools play a more important role than families in students’ well-being. D. Students can make up for lost learning time by studying more efficiently. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of after-school services. B. The debate about later school start times. C. The reasons for students’ sleep problems. D. The benefits of delayed school start times. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Live Your Life with Purpose No matter who you are or what you do, there is a purpose for life.
