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 after class activities.Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kid's phone.
At first, this made my sister in law “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”．
24．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 after class activities.
D．Because she wanted to teach her daughter about the app.
25．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.
26．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
27．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
You know by now that dirt is good for lots of things：growing plants，feeding worms，even the occasional mud bath.But building houses Absolutely.
People build houses with dirt because it is plentiful，really cheap，and fireproof. Thick dirt walls keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.And you can build a whole house with few tools other than your own two hands.
In fact，dirt is so good for building things that half the people in the world live in houses made of mud.Maybe even you!
Mud works best for building where it's dry for most of the year.If there's too much rain，the walls of your mud house could melt like ice cream on a warm day.But in places that don't see many storm clouds，mud bricks (砖块)，which are baked hard in the sun or in a hot oven，can be as strong and durable as stone.In Africa，some mud brick buildings have been standing for thousands of years.
In the southwestern United States，American Indians built four story apartment buildings from mud bricks called adobe (土坯)．And on the Great Plains，the first white settlers saw an ocean of grass as tall as oxen，but few trees for building houses.So they made their houses out of sod，dirt held together by the thick，tangled roots of prairie grass.
Most sod houses became worm food years ago，but many of the buildings you see every day are pure dirt.The bricks that may make up the walls of your house or school are made of clay that's been baked in a fiery kiln (炉)．So the next time someone says a building is made of bricks，correct them.You know it's really made of plain old dirt.
28．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A．The way to build houses of dirt. B．The best time to build houses of dirt.
C．The reasons to build houses of dirt. D．The places to build houses of dirt.
29．Which of the following is the best place to build such houses in
A．Places where it rains most of the year.
B．Places where there are many storm clouds.
C．Places where there is little rain all the year around.
D．Places where it is cold in winter and hot in summer.
30．The first white settlers built houses with sods because .
A．the grass was as tall as oxen B．they were as strong as stones
C．they could make a garden on the roof D．they were lack of wood
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Sod houses could be destroyed by worms. B．Sod houses could last as long as stone ones.
C．Sod bricks are baked in the oven. D．Sod bricks are really made of pure dirt.
D
There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have a lot of friends at school. However, he wasn't sure whether or not his schoolmates were his real friends, so he asked his grandpa for help. The old man told him，“I just have what you exactly need, and it's in the attic. Wait a minute here.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there.
“Take it. It's a very special chair.It's rather tricky to sit on for it's invisible, but if you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you'll be able to tell who your real friends are，” Grandpa said.
Mario was curious to know whether it was true or not, so he took the strange invisible chair and set off for school. At break time, he asked his classmates to form a circle, and then he put himself inside, with his chair. “Nobody moves! You’re about to see something amazing.”
Then Mario tried to sit on the chair, but he missed and fell down onto his back. Everyone had a pretty good laugh about it. Mario wouldn't be beaten.He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground...until, suddenly, he tried again and didn't fall over.This time he sat，hovering in mid air...
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana—three of his best friends，holding him up, so he wouldn't fall down. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends did nothing but make fun of him, enjoying his every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care about us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by. Even less would a real friend be someone who takes joy in our misfortunes.
32．Why did Mario turn to his grandpa for help
A．Because he didn't like his school.
B．Because he couldn't make any friends.
C．Because he didn't get along with his schoolmates.
D．Because he couldn't find out who his true friends were.
33．Why was Mario able to hover in the mid air
A．Because he managed to sit on the invisible chair finally.
B．Because his three friends held him up with their hands.
C．Because his classmates gave him a chair to sit on.
D．Because he could see the magic chair clearly.
34．Who are real friends according to the text
A．Those who laugh with us.
B．Those who take joy in our misfortunes.
C．Those who care about us when we are in trouble.
D．Those who care for us when we are popular at school.

When I was seven, I found a watch while walking down the hallway of my school. The watch was expensive-looking, set with gold. As I picked it up, greed (贪欲) suddenly came over me, and instead of turning it into the office like I should have, I became the owner of the watch.
When I got home from school, I found Mom cooking dinner in the kitchen. Thinking that she would be impressed, I held out my prize for her to see with a feeling of excitement and pride. Mom, however, was far from impressed. Instead, she was angry at her son keeping the watch instead of turning it in. Mom then ordered me to go straight back to school and take the watch to someone at the office. I started to argue, but after taking a good look at the expression on Mom’s face, I realized that would get me nowhere. There was nothing left for me to do but obey(服从).
I have to admit(承认)，I was rather angry with Mom for making me give up the watch. I felt that it was justly mine since I was the one who had found it.Yes, I knew she was right, but greed had forced me to keep the watch, and now pride wouldn’t allow me to admit that I had done something wrong. But time passed, and I forgot all about the lesson that I learned from the watch until fourteen years later.
While I was attending college, I had managed to get a job at a Walmart pushing carts (手推车) off the parking lot. One morning, I found a checkbook (支票簿) that had been left in a shopping cart. Quickly, I took it to the customer service desk and gave it to the employee there so that the customer who had lost it could pick it up.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Later, as I was outside pushing carts, a man came up to me.___________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then my thoughts went back to the day when Mom had made me return the watch.________

63．解析：考查词性转换。随着时间的流逝，英语逐渐发生了改变。分析句子成分可知，此处应用副词修饰动词，故填gradually。答案：gradually
64．解析：考查名词的单复数。此处意为“数十亿的渴望财富的外国人”，应用名词的复数形式，故填foreigners。答案：foreigners

第二节 [参考范文]
Later, as I was outside pushing carts, a man came up to me. He told me his wife had left their checkbook in a shopping cart the night before; he wanted to know if it had been found. When he
told me his name, I realized that he was the owner of the checkbook I had found. I explained to him that I’d found his checkbook that morning, and that he could go inside and get it at the service desk. The man was so thankful that he pulled out his wallet and offered me some cash, but I refused.
Then my thoughts went back to the day when Mom had made me return the watch. Mom wanted to make sure that her son would always be honest, and never take what didn’t belong to him. Because of her, I did the right thing when I found that checkbook, and I was rewarded with a feeling of self-worth that no amount of money could buy. I have come to realize that while we are growing up, some valuable lessons are often the ones that we don’t appreciate until later in life.

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 after class activities.Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kid's phone.
At first, this made my sister in law “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”．
24．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 after class activities.
D．Because she wanted to teach her daughter about the app.
25．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.
26．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
27．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
You know by now that dirt is good for lots of things：growing plants，feeding worms，even the occasional mud bath.But building houses Absolutely.
People build houses with dirt because it is plentiful，really cheap，and fireproof. Thick dirt walls keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.And you can build a whole house with few tools other than your own two hands.
In fact，dirt is so good for building things that half the people in the world live in houses made of mud.Maybe even you!
Mud works best for building where it's dry for most of the year.If there's too much rain，the walls of your mud house could melt like ice cream on a warm day.But in places that don't see many storm clouds，mud bricks (砖块)，which are baked hard in the sun or in a hot oven，can be as strong and durable as stone.In Africa，some mud brick buildings have been standing for thousands of years.
In the southwestern United States，American Indians built four story apartment buildings from mud bricks called adobe (土坯)．And on the Great Plains，the first white settlers saw an ocean of grass as tall as oxen，but few trees for building houses.So they made their houses out of sod，dirt held together by the thick，tangled roots of prairie grass.
Most sod houses became worm food years ago，but many of the buildings you see every day are pure dirt.The bricks that may make up the walls of your house or school are made of clay that's been baked in a fiery kiln (炉)．So the next time someone says a building is made of bricks，correct them.You know it's really made of plain old dirt.
28．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A．The way to build houses of dirt. B．The best time to build houses of dirt.
C．The reasons to build houses of dirt. D．The places to build houses of dirt.
29．Which of the following is the best place to build such houses in
A．Places where it rains most of the year.
B．Places where there are many storm clouds.
C．Places where there is little rain all the year around.
D．Places where it is cold in winter and hot in summer.
30．The first white settlers built houses with sods because .
A．the grass was as tall as oxen B．they were as strong as stones
C．they could make a garden on the roof D．they were lack of wood
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Sod houses could be destroyed by worms. B．Sod houses could last as long as stone ones.
C．Sod bricks are baked in the oven. D．Sod bricks are really made of pure dirt.
D
There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have a lot of friends at school. However, he wasn't sure whether or not his schoolmates were his real friends, so he asked his grandpa for help. The old man told him，“I just have what you exactly need, and it's in the attic. Wait a minute here.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there.
“Take it. It's a very special chair.It's rather tricky to sit on for it's invisible, but if you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you'll be able to tell who your real friends are，” Grandpa said.
Mario was curious to know whether it was true or not, so he took the strange invisible chair and set off for school. At break time, he asked his classmates to form a circle, and then he put himself inside, with his chair. “Nobody moves! You’re about to see something amazing.”
Then Mario tried to sit on the chair, but he missed and fell down onto his back. Everyone had a pretty good laugh about it. Mario wouldn't be beaten.He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground...until, suddenly, he tried again and didn't fall over.This time he sat，hovering in mid air...
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana—three of his best friends，holding him up, so he wouldn't fall down. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends did nothing but make fun of him, enjoying his every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care about us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by. Even less would a real friend be someone who takes joy in our misfortunes.
32．Why did Mario turn to his grandpa for help
A．Because he didn't like his school.
B．Because he couldn't make any friends.
C．Because he didn't get along with his schoolmates.
D．Because he couldn't find out who his true friends were.
33．Why was Mario able to hover in the mid air
A．Because he managed to sit on the invisible chair finally.
B．Because his three friends held him up with their hands.
C．Because his classmates gave him a chair to sit on.
D．Because he could see the magic chair clearly.
34．Who are real friends according to the text
A．Those who laugh with us.
B．Those who take joy in our misfortunes.
C．Those who care about us when we are in trouble.
D．Those who care for us when we are popular at school.
35．How did Mario most probably feel in the end of the text
A．Happy. B．Unconcerned. C．Upset. D．Uncomfortable.

When I was seven, I found a watch while walking down the hallway of my school. The watch was expensive-looking, set with gold. As I picked it up, greed (贪欲) suddenly came over me, and instead of turning it into the office like I should have, I became the owner of the watch.
When I got home from school, I found Mom cooking dinner in the kitchen. Thinking that she would be impressed, I held out my prize for her to see with a feeling of excitement and pride. Mom, however, was far from impressed. Instead, she was angry at her son keeping the watch instead of turning it in. Mom then ordered me to go straight back to school and take the watch to someone at the office. I started to argue, but after taking a good look at the expression on Mom’s face, I realized that would get me nowhere. There was nothing left for me to do but obey(服从).
I have to admit(承认)，I was rather angry with Mom for making me give up the watch. I felt that it was justly mine since I was the one who had found it.Yes, I knew she was right, but greed had forced me to keep the watch, and now pride wouldn’t allow me to admit that I had done something wrong. But time passed, and I forgot all about the lesson that I learned from the watch until fourteen years later.
While I was attending college, I had managed to get a job at a Walmart pushing carts (手推车) off the parking lot. One morning, I found a checkbook (支票簿) that had been left in a shopping cart. Quickly, I took it to the customer service desk and gave it to the employee there so that the customer who had lost it could pick it up.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Later, as I was outside pushing carts, a man came up to me.___________________________

Then my thoughts went back to the day when Mom had made me return the watch.________

第二节 [参考范文]
Later, as I was outside pushing carts, a man came up to me. He told me his wife had left their checkbook in a shopping cart the night before; he wanted to know if it had been found. When he
told me his name, I realized that he was the owner of the checkbook I had found. I explained to him that I’d found his checkbook that morning, and that he could go inside and get it at the service desk. The man was so thankful that he pulled out his wallet and offered me some cash, but I refused.
Then my thoughts went back to the day when Mom had made me return the watch. Mom wanted to make sure that her son would always be honest, and never take what didn’t belong to him. Because of her, I did the right thing when I found that checkbook, and I was rewarded with a feeling of self-worth that no amount of money could buy. I have come to realize that while we are growing up, some valuable lessons are often the ones that we don’t appreciate until later in life.
