When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1. 5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1. 5 miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼)after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”.
4. What makes Simon different from his classmates
A. Washing his clothes by himself. B. Taking many classes after school.
C. Raising strange questions in class. D. Taking green measures to protect the environment.
5. How did Simon usually go to school in second grade
A. By car. B. By cycling. C. By running. D. By school bus.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. Simon has trouble with his eyesight. B. Simon is really stubborn and inflexible.
C. Simon is much tougher than expected. D. Simon didn’t get support from his father.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A The Best Way to Go to School
B. Father and Son Run for the Environment
C. A Teenager Keeps Running to Inspire Father
D. Three Inspiring Running Athletes to Protect the Environment
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述一位八岁的男孩 Simon Cane为环保做出的实际行动——和爸爸一起跑去上学。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx.（当Simon Cane上二年级的时候，他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响，并真正把课堂上所学的内容牢记在心，在某种程度上这使他与布朗克斯的第81公立小学的同学们区别开来。）”以及“So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.（所以，西蒙说服他的父母把衣服挂起来晾干，不坐电梯而走楼梯，以及采取其他“绿色”措施。）”可知，当Simon Cane上二年级的时候，他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响，把那些课堂上所学的内容铭记于心，并且采取“绿色”措施保护环境，这使得他跟他的同学不同。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1. 5 miles to school. （然而，随着西蒙长大，骑在他爸爸自行车的后座，对他来说并不现实，但一起骑车也没有意义——既是出于安全考虑，也是因为没有地方放西蒙的自行车。所以大多数时候他们都开车1.5英里到学校。）”以及第三段“But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1. 5 miles to P. S. 81. （但是在2019年，那时候8岁的西蒙上三年级，他提出了一个帮助地球的新方法:跑步1.5英里去布朗克斯第81公立小学。）”可推知，二年级时 Simon Cane主要是坐车去上学。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“‘To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼)after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,’ Jonathan said. （说实话，我以为天冷了或下雨了他就会犹豫一下，但他从来没有。）”可知，Simon Cane比预料的要坚强。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文，尤其是根据第一段“When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart（当西蒙·凯恩上二年级的时候，他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响，并真正把课堂上学的内容牢记在心。）”以及最后一段“Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school.”（ 从一开始，西蒙就和他的爸爸和他们的黑狗萝拉一起跑步，甚至还激励了他的妈妈 (Nicole Sin Quee)也加入进来。他们很快就被称为“跑去上学的家庭”。）”可知，本文主要讲述八岁的男孩 Simon Cane很重视环保，并且为环保做出的实际行动——和爸爸一起跑步去上学。故选B项。
C
In Song of the Whale, an installation at the Yukon Arts Centre, Joyce Majiski shared the story of a one-year old humpback whale(座头鯨) who died after she was caught in a fishery rope.
In the centre of the show is an eight-metre-long model of the baby whale’s skeleton(骨架), each bone carved(雕刻) from Styrofoam(聚苯乙烯泡塑料) collected from the ocean and beaches.
“Water is the one thing that connects us all --–we’re a planet of water---and we have a lot of disrespect for it.”
“There are a lot of things that we have done to contribute to the death of these creatures. Again, we need to pay attention to what we’re doing. If we thought about how connected we are as creatures on this planet, maybe we’d do things a little differently,” Majiski said.
Speaking of starting to set up the project, she describes it as “despairing.” Eventually, the search for an intact(完无缺的) whale skeleton that would allow the study of individual bones led her to Salt Spring Island. There, Majiski studied each bone of the young humpback whale, first in sketch (素描) form and then by carving models from collected Styrofoam.
The majority of the Styrofoam came from the Ocean Legacy Foundation, a non-profit that does ocean cleanups. The organisation says over 6.5 million tons of rubbish enter the world’s ocean each year. When degrading (降解) in the ocean, Styrofoam breaks down into small particles that can be eaten by ocean animals.
It is also messy material to work with as an artist.
"The Styrofoam looks really awful. It’s all big pieces that are black and crumbly(易碎的). They’ve been floating around in the ocean and degrading and washed up on shore.
“It’s really dirty and crumbly and I didn’t want to breathe any in as I carved. I mean, I wore a mask all the time and coveralls and gloves. I was cleaning myself and everything every hour or so depending on how much I was carving,” said Maiiski.
In total, Majiski carved 177 pieces.
8. What is Majiski’s purpose in holding the show
A. To get people to think about ocean pollution.
B. To show the artistic attraction of carving.
C. To call on people to reduce fish catches.
D. To encourage the recycling of waste.
9. Why did Majiski go to Salt Spring Island
A. To spend a holiday.
B. To study where whales are found.
C. To look for a suitable whale skeleton.
D. To raise money for animal protection.
10. What does the underlined word "It" in paragraph 7 refer to
A. Styrofoam. B. The baby whale.
C. Working with plastics. D. Carving the whale s skeleton.
11. How can Majiski's carving work be described
A. It was quick and smooth. B. It was slow but interesting.
C. It was boring and depressing. D. It was difficult but meaningful.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了艺术家使用废弃的聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料制作了一个幼年座头鲸的骨架，以唤起人们对海洋污染的重视。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Water is the one thing that connects us all --–we’re a planet of water---and we have a lot of disrespect for it.”（水是一个联系我们所有人的东西——我们生活在一个有水的星球——并且我们大部分时候没有意识到它。）可知，她举办该展览就是为了让人们反思海洋污染问题。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“the search for an intact whale skeleton that would allow the study of individual bones led her to Salt Spring Island”（为了寻找一具完整的鲸鱼骨骼，以便对单个骨骼进行研究，她去了Salt Spring Island）可知，Majiski去Salt Spring Island是为了找到一个适合用来做研究的鲸的骨架。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第六段“Styrofoam breaks down into small particles that can be eaten by ocean animals.”（聚苯乙烯泡塑料分解成可供海洋动物食用的小颗粒。）可知，It指代上文提到的Styrofoam。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“The Styrofoam looks really awful. It's all big pieces that are black and crumbly.”（聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料看起来真糟糕。所有都是黑色的，易碎的大块。） 以及倒数第二段可知，座头鲸的骨架制作过程不易。且文中提及该骨架被展示出来，从而给予人们警示可知，这一雕刻作品也是有意义的。故选D项。
D
Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates(激励) kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them.”
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return
Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.
12. How does the author start the passage
A. By presenting some facts. B. By listing some evidence.
C. By comparing different views. D. By stating his own experiences.
13. What does the underlined word “allowance” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. permission B. benefit
C. admission D. pocket money
14. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. Chris Bergman's opinion on raising kids
B. main reasons why kids need encouragement
C. how to motivate kids to try new applications
D. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores
15. The purpose of writing the text is to ________.
A. invite readers to express their opinions
B. inform readers of two different opinions
C. call on readers to reflect on their behavior
D. present the author's viewpoint about parenting
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了家长该不该以奖励的方式鼓励孩子做家务，对此不同的人有不同的观点。
【详解】1.推理判断题。 由文章第一段“Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get other rewards such as extra computer time.”(许多孩子在家里帮忙做家务，比如清理洗碗机，收拾衣物，倒垃圾。作为交换，一些孩子得到其他奖励，比如额外的玩电脑时间。)以及结合下文可知，本文主要讨论孩子做家务该不该得到奖励，而作者通过陈述目前一些家长常见的做法来开始文章，故选A。
2.词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子“and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money.”(并且它也关于我们如何需要靠工作来赚钱教会孩子们现实世界的一些教训。)可推断出，家长给孩子钱来激励他们干家务，同时也告诉他们我们如何需要靠工作来赚钱，以此来教会他们一些现实世界的教训，所以结合划线单词前的cash(现金)可知，划线单词表示“零花钱”，与选项D“pocket money”(零花钱)符合，A. permission准许；B. benefit好处；C. admission承认。故选D。
3.主旨大意题。文章第三段“Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores，and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money...Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them.”(其他人认为，得到现金津贴或其他奖励能激励孩子做家务，这也教会他们如何在现实生活中工作赚钱......孩子需要正面的鼓励来激励他们。)可知，第三段第一句话提出奖励孩子做家务是有好处的，接着下文对这个观点进一步阐述和解释。所以第三段主要讲的是奖励孩子做家务的好处，故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段“What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return ”(你觉得呢？孩子做家务应该得到奖励吗？还是说孩子们应该在家里帮忙，而不是得到任何回报？)和最后一段“Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@.”(写一篇200字的回应。发送到tfkasks4you@。)可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是邀请读者针对这个问题发表看法，故选A。
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。
Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. ___16___
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. ____17____ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. ____18____ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
___19___ Help your child write down his goals in an easy to follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级). ___20___
A. Change goals every so often.
B. Make a visual goal reminder.
C. Don’t always tell him what you think.
D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
E. You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.
F. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文就怎样帮助孩子设定目标给了几个建议。
【16题详解】
根据“Explain the word “goal”.”可知本段的主题句是：解释单词“goal”。根据空前“Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life”(当提到足球时，你的孩子可能知道“goal”是什么，但是他可能不理解日常生活中的“goal”意味着什么)选项承接上文，说明怎么做才能让孩子理解“goal”故E（你可以举运动的例子来向他解释“goal”。）切题。故选E项。
【17题详解】
本段主要谈的是听你的孩子说话。空前“Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.”（理论上，你想让你的孩子为他自己决定目标）根据空后句“Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve.”（让他说说他认为他能把什么做好以及他认为需要改进什么。）可知，选项承接上下文说明让孩子说出自己的想法，所以这里选C（不要总是告诉他你的想法。）切题。Don’t always tell him what you think呼应Let him talk about what he thinks。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据空“For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.”（例如，你的孩子想成为游泳冠军，但是他还游不了池塘整圈，你可以建议他把这作为他的第一个目标。）可知，选项承接下文，说明要分解目标。break it down into smaller pieces呼应making that his first goal.故G选项（当目标超出他的能力范围时，帮助他把目标分成几步。）切题。故选G项。
【19题详解】
空缺的是本段的主题句，根据空后“Help your child write down his goals in an easy to follow form.”（帮助你的孩子以简单能懂的方式写下他的目标）所以这里选B（制作一个能看见的目标提示。）为本段的小标题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
空前“A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级).”（一个很简单的方法就是在纸上画一个梯子，在顶部写下他的目标，在横木上写下通向目标的每一步）可知选项承接上文说明这么作的作用是什么。故D（他在向顶部爬梯时他在接近目标。）切题。故选D项。
第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

As they grow up, they are____29____ to believing they cannot break away. They believe the rope and still hold them, so they never try to break free.
The man was____30____. These animals could at any time break free from their____31____ but because they believe they couldn't, they were____32____ right where they are.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述一个人看见一群大象被一个小绳子拴住，但却没有挣脱，于是他向驯兽师询问原因，驯兽师告诉他这群大象从小就这样被拴着，所以它们一直认为它们没法挣脱，进而悟出一个道理就是人们不能因为一次失败就放弃斗争，因为失败也是学习的一部分，我们要继续斗争，才会走出束缚。
【21题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：当一名男子经过大象群时，他突然停了下来，他注意到一些庞然大物仅仅被一根小绳子绑在它们的前腿上的事实。A. visited 访问；B. searched.搜索；C. expected 预期； D. spotted发现。下文是他看见的内容，故选D项。

When Simon Cane was in the second grade he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1. 5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1. 5 miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼)after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”.

In Song of the Whale, an installation at the Yukon Arts Centre, Joyce Majiski shared the story of a one-year old humpback whale(座头鯨) who died after she was caught in a fishery rope.
In the centre of the show is an eight-metre-long model of the baby whale’s skeleton(骨架), each bone carved(雕刻) from Styrofoam(聚苯乙烯泡塑料) collected from the ocean and beaches.
“Water is the one thing that connects us all --–we’re a planet of water---and we have a lot of disrespect for it.”
“There are a lot of things that we have done to contribute to the death of these creatures. Again, we need to pay attention to what we’re doing. If we thought about how connected we are as creatures on this planet, maybe we’d do things a little differently,” Majiski said.
Speaking of starting to set up the project, she describes it as “despairing.” Eventually, the search for an intact(完无缺的) whale skeleton that would allow the study of individual bones led her to Salt Spring Island. There, Majiski studied each bone of the young humpback whale, first in sketch (素描) form and then by carving models from collected Styrofoam.
The majority of the Styrofoam came from the Ocean Legacy Foundation, a non-profit that does ocean cleanups. The organisation says over 6.5 million tons of rubbish enter the world’s ocean each year. When degrading (降解) in the ocean, Styrofoam breaks down into small particles that can be eaten by ocean animals.
It is also messy material to work with as an artist.
"The Styrofoam looks really awful. It’s all big pieces that are black and crumbly(易碎的). They’ve been floating around in the ocean and degrading and washed up on shore.
“It’s really dirty and crumbly and I didn’t want to breathe any in as I carved. I mean, I wore a mask all the time and coveralls and gloves. I was cleaning myself and everything every hour or so depending on how much I was carving,” said Maiiski.
In total, Majiski carved 177 pieces.
8. What is Majiski’s purpose in holding the show
A. To get people to think about ocean pollution.
B. To show the artistic attraction of carving.
C. To call on people to reduce fish catches.
D. To encourage the recycling of waste.
9. Why did Majiski go to Salt Spring Island
A. To spend a holiday.
B. To study where whales are found.
C. To look for a suitable whale skeleton.
D. To raise money for animal protection.
10. What does the underlined word "It" in paragraph 7 refer to
A. Styrofoam. B. The baby whale.
C. Working with plastics. D. Carving the whale s skeleton.
11. How can Majiski's carving work be described
A. It was quick and smooth. B. It was slow but interesting.
C. It was boring and depressing. D. It was difficult but meaningful.

Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates(激励) kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them.”
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return

12. How does the author start the passage
A. By presenting some facts. B. By listing some evidence.
C. By comparing different views. D. By stating his own experiences.
13. What does the underlined word “allowance” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. permission B. benefit
C. admission D. pocket money
14. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. Chris Bergman's opinion on raising kids
B. main reasons why kids need encouragement
C. how to motivate kids to try new applications
D. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores
15. The purpose of writing the text is to ________.
