[2020·潍坊市统一考试]When
traveling
on
a
budget,
every
dollar
counts.
Unfortunately,
the
cost
of
tickets
alone
can
make
a
serious
hole
in
your
savings.
Don't
let
that
stop
you
from
taking
your
dream
vacation,
though.
According
to
Jeff
Klee,
CEO
of
CheapAir.
com,
there
is
a
“sweet
spot”
to
get
the
biggest
bang
for
your
buck.
“The
most
important
rule
is
fairly
obvious:
don't
wait
until
the
last
minute,
as
that
rarely
works
out，”
he
said
in
a
statement.
“But
beyond
that,
you
also
want
to
be
careful
not
to
buy
too
early.”
Still,
that's
easier
said
than
done.
Finding
the
most
cost?efficient
time
to
book
is
tough.
Luckily,
somebody
did
the
math
—
so
you
don't
have
to.
Data
crunchers
from
the
online
travel
agency
CheapAir.
com
surveyed
over
917
million
fares
to
determine
the
day
with
the
cheapest
rates.
Here's
what
they
found:
while
prices
tend
to
stay
the
same
between
320
and
106
days
before
a
trip,
they
start
dropping
at
the
105?day
mark.
That
said,
you
might
be
tempted
to
book
the
moment
prices
drop.
But
hold
on!
You'll
save
even
more
money
by
booking
precisely
70
days
before
your
trip.
According
to
CheapAir.
com,
you
can
save
48
percent
of
the
ticket's
total
cost
by
using
this
trick.
After
that
date,
airfares
will
begin
to
increase
again.
And
don't
even
think
about
booking
any
later
than
20
days
ahead
of
time,
as
prices
will
be
soaring.
So,
what
are
you
waiting
for?
Start
planning
your
next
dream
vacation,
and
book
accordingly.
Your
wallet
will
thank
you
—
guaranteed.

[2020·安徽省百所重点中学模拟]I've
been
a
volunteer
in
the
Macmillan@
Glasgow
Libraries
programme
for
just
over
a
year.
I
got
involved
because
I
was
looking
for
something
to
volunteer
for
after
I
retired
from
work.
I
thought
being
a
Macmillan
Cancer
Information
and
Support
Volunteer
might
be
a
good
way
to
do
that
by
using
some
of
the
skills
I
learned
at
work.
At
one
time,
I
felt
I
made
a
real
difference
when
a
lady
came
in
to
use
the
service.
She
was
very
upset,
but
she
was
not
the
person
with
cancer.
It
was
her
partner.
She
had
lots
of
things
on
her
mind.
We,
together
with
a
counselor,
had
a
chat
about
her
to
help
deal
with
all
the
emotions
(情感)
she
felt.
We
knew
we
could
arrange
something,
so
we
discussed
with
her
what
could
be
done
for
her
family.
She
was
relieved
that
we
could
get
something
arranged
for
her
and
liked
the
fact
that
we
managed
to
get
the
ball
rolling
during
her
visit.
The
good
thing
about
having
the
services
in
the
library
is
that
the
environment
is
non?clinical
and
therefore
more
relaxing
than
the
hospital
or
doctor's
surgery.
The
team
in
the
library
are
not
medically
trained.
That
means
we
do
not
use
big
words
or
medical
terms
very
often.
It's
great
that
the
people
who
volunteer
all
work
well
together,
helping
each
other
to
get
a
resolution
(解决)
for
people
who
come
in.
It's
good
to
have
the
team
at
the
other
end
of
the
phone
whenever
we
get
something
unusual.
It
is
a
pleasure
to
be
able
to
help
as
a
volunteer.
4．What
can
we
infer
about
the
author?
A．He
is
a
retired
doctor.
B．He
is
volunteering
in
a
hospital.
C．He
is
a
counselor
in
cancer.
D．He
has
fought
against
cancer
before.
5．Why
did
the
lady
feel
upset?
A．Because
she
was
affected
by
cancer.
B．Because
her
husband
suffered
from
cancer.
C．Because
she
didn't
know
how
to
treat
cancer.
D．Because
she
had
a
poor
relation
with
her
husband.
6．What
do
we
know
about
the
volunteers?
A．They
do
well
in
teamwork.
B．They
receive
medical
training.
C．They
all
used
to
be
helped.
D．They
often
meet
unusual
things.
7．Why
does
the
author
write
this
text?
A．To
call
on
readers
to
do
voluntary
work.
B．To
show
us
how
to
help
those
in
trouble.
C．To
share
his
experiences
as
a

[2020·武昌区调研]Parents
complain
about
their
teenagers'
noses
constantly
in
their
phones,
but
they
might
want
to
pay
attention
to
their
own
screen
time
habits.
A
study
out
Wednesday
from
the
Pew
Research
Center
found
that
two?thirds
of
parents
are
concerned
about
the
amount
of
time
their
teenage
children
spend
in
front
of
screens,
while
more
than
a
third
express
concern
about
their
own
screen
time.
Meanwhile,
more
than
half
of
teens
said
they
often
or
sometimes
find
their
parents
to
be
absent?minded
when
the
teens
are
trying
to
have
a
conversation
with
them.
The
study
calls
teens'
relationship
with
their
phones
at
times“hyperconnected”
and
notes
that
nearly
three?fourths
check
messages
or
notifications
(通知)
as
soon
as
they
wake
up.
Parents
do
the
same,
but
at
a
lower
if
still
considerable
rate
—
57
percent.
Big
tech
companies
face
a
growing
backlash
(强烈反应)
against
the
addictive
nature
of
their
phones
and
apps,
the
endless
notifications
and
other
features
created
to
keep
people
fastened
to
their
screens.
Many
teens
are
trying
to
do
something
about
it:
52
percent
said
they
have
cut
back
on
the
time
they
spend
on
their
phones
and
57
percent
did
the
same
with
social
media.
Experts
say
parents
have
a
big
role
in
their
kids'
screen
habits
and
setting
a
good
example
is
a
big
part
of
it.“Kids
don't
always
do
what
we
say
but
they
do
as
we
do，”
said
Donald
Shifrin,
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Washington
School
of
Medicine,
who
was
not
involved
in
the
study.
“Parents
are
the
door
that
kids
will
walk
through
on
their
way
to
the
world.”
The
study
surveyed
743
U．S.
teens
and
1,058
U．S.
parents
of
teens
from
March
7
to
April
10.
The
range
of
error
is
4.5
percentage
points.
8．According
to
the
survey,
how
many
parents
are
concerned
about
their
screen
time?
A．About
354.
B．About
317.
C．About
603.
D．About
705.
9．What
does
the
underlined
word
“hyperconnected”
in
Para.3
mean?
A．Interactive.
B．Undervalued.
C．Nonexistent.
D．Overdeveloped.
10．Who
makes
it
hard
for
people
to
fight
against
phone
addiction?
A．Protective
parents.
B．The
Pew
Research
Center.
C．Inexperienced
teens.
D．Greedy
tech
companies.
11．What
does
the
text
suggest
parents
do
about
their
kids'
screen
habits?
A．Upgrade
the
smart
phones.
B．Criticize
kids
for
bad
habits.
C．Forbid
kids
from

[2020·成都第一次诊断]Japan
recently
lowered
its
voting
age
from
20
to
18.
This
decision
was
in
part
to
help
young
people
feel
more
engaged
in
politics.
But
it
may
also
signal
the
change
of
social
views
regarding
the
beginning
of
adulthood.
Adulthood
has
traditionally
been
defined
by
a
combination
of
age
and
the
achievement
of
social
milestones
(里程碑).
Most
countries
have
a
legally
defined
age
to
determine
when
a
person
becomes
an
adult
—
the
age
of
majority.
In
Australia,
most
states
consider
a
person
to
be
an
adult
in
court
at
18.
The
age
of
18
is
also
consistent
with
other
adult
privileges,
such
as
the
right
to
purchase
alcohol
and
to
marry.
However,
17?year?olds
can
serve
in
the
army
and
get
a
driver's
licence.
The
law
defines
adulthood
on
the
basis
of
age
and
it
also
recognizes
the
process
of
becoming
an
adult
as
involving
himself
gradually
in
social
responsibility.
This
legal
approach
to
adulthood
is
mirrored
in
other
countries,
where
there
are
differences
between
the
age
of
majority
and
social
responsibility
given
to
young
people.
Socially,
determinants
of
adulthood
traditionally
focus
on
a
person
taking
increasing
responsibility
for
their
lives
in
various
ways.
Completing
school,
taking
full?time
employment,
getting
married
and
parenthood
—
these
are
all
observable
indicators
to
determine
when
a
person
is
viewed
as
an
adult.
Since
the
1980s,
however,
people
have
achieved
some
of
these
observable
milestones
at
later
ages.
Increased
access
to
education
has
delayed
young
people
leaving
home
and
developing
romantic
relationships.
Economic
changes
have
also
resulted
in
unstable
employment
markets
and
increases
in
costs
of
living，prompting
many
young
people
to
remain
at
home
and
dependent
on
parents.
Due
to
these
social
changes,
our
expectations
of
young
people
and
their
level
of
social
responsibility
have
also
changed.
The
recognition
of
a
new
life
stage
—
emerging
(发展初期的)
adulthood
—
has
been
recommended
to
account
for
the
changes
to
social
milestones
that
have
traditionally
represented
adulthood.
12．What
can
we
learn
about
adulthood
from
the
text?
A．People
reach
observable
indicators
much
later.
B．Age
alone
is
a
reliable
determinant
of
adulthood.
C．Participation
in
politics
is
a
responsibility
for
adulthood.
D．Economic
changes
mainly
shift
people's
views
on
adulthood.
13．What
right
can
people
enjoy
at
the
age
of
17
in
most
states
of
Australia?
A．Voting.
B．Buying
wines.
C．Getting
married.
D．Driving
legally.
14．What
does
the
underlined
word
“prompting”
in
Paragraph
4
probably
mean?
A．Encouraging.
B．Advising.
C．Forbidding.
D．Persuading.
15．What's
the
main
idea
of
the
text?
A．Emerging
adulthood
reflects
a
new
life
stage.
B．Adulthood
is
defined
differently
in
different
places.
C．Social
changes
are
challenging
the
idea
of
adulthood.
D．Adulthood
is
a
combination
of
rights
and
responsibilities.

课时练(一)
阅读理解
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了购买便宜飞机票的方法和策略。
1．D 考查细节理解。根据第四段的内容尤其是第四句“You'll
save
even
more
money
by
booking
precisely
70
days
before
your
trip”可知，旅行前第70天预订机票节省的钱最多，故选D项。
2．B 考查细节理解。根据第四段第五句“According
to
CheapAir.
com,
you
can
save
48
percent
of
the
ticket's
total
cost
by
using
this
trick”，并结合题干可知，原价是400美元的飞机票总共可以节省：$400×48%＝$192，故选B项。
3．D 考查主旨大意。根据第一段第一句“When
traveling
on
a
budget,
every
dollar
counts”和对本文的整体理解可推知，本文的主要目的在于介绍购买便宜飞机票的策略和方法，故选D项。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在本文中记叙了自己作为一名志愿者的经历。作者退休后，利用自己的技能去帮助那些需要帮助的人，并从中得到了快乐。
4．A 考查推理判断。根据第一段的内容我们可以知道，作者现在已经退休，而且有医学方面的技能；结合第三段的内容，我们可以推测，作者是一名退休医生，故选A项。
5．B 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“She
was
very
upset,
but
she
was
not
the
person
with
cancer.
It
was
her
partner”和“we
discussed
with
her
what
could
be
done
for
her
family”可知，这位女士的丈夫得了癌症。注意：此处的“partner”表示“配偶”，故选B项。
6．A 考查推理判断。根据最后一段的首句“It's
great
that
the
people
who
volunteer
all
work
well
together,
helping
each
other
to
get
a
resolution
(解决)
for
people
who
come
in”可知，所有的志愿者都能很好地共同工作，彼此帮助，为来求助的人提供好的解决方案。由此推知，他们具有很强的团队意识，善于团队合作，故选A项。
7．C 考查主旨大意。综合全文的内容我们可以看出，本文主要讲述的是作者的志愿者经历。因此，作者写作的目的也就是要分享他作为志愿者的经历，故选C项。
【语篇解读】 父母总是抱怨他们的孩子太沉溺于手机，其实是他们自身的这种行为影响到了孩子。为了避免孩子对手机上瘾，父母自身应该首先树立好榜样。
8．A 考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句中的“while
more
than
a
third
express
concern
about
their
own
screen
time.”和最后一段中的“The
study
surveyed
743
U．S.
teens
and
1,058
U．S.
parents
of
teens”可知，这次研究调查了1
058位父母，而他们中超过1/3的人表达对自己使用手机时间的担忧。由此可知1
058÷3≈352.7；又根据“more
than”可知，应该大于352，故选A。
9．D 考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“Parents
complain
about
their
teenagers'
noses
constantly
in
their
phones”和第二段中的“two?thirds
of
parents
are
concerned
about
the
amount
of
time
their
teenage
children
spend
in
front
of
screens”都提到父母担忧孩子看手机的时间太长；而画线词所在句又讲到青少年一醒来就先查看手机的信息和通知。由此可推知，孩子和手机之间的关系是过度联系的，故画线词与D项意思相近。
10．D 考查细节理解。根据第四段内容可知，大型科技公司为了自己的利益，会不断研发使人上瘾的手机功能，故选D。
11．D 考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“Experts
say
parents
have
a
big
role
in
their
kids'
screen
habits
and
setting
a
good
example
is
a
big
part
of
it”以及
“Kids
don't
always
do
what
we
say
but
they
do
as
we
do”可知，父母对于孩子看手机的习惯有不可推卸的责任，树立榜样意义重大。由此可推知，文章建议父母减少自己看手机的时间，故选D。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文，论述了由于教育机会的增加、经济上的变化等社会变化，年轻人进入成年人生阶段的时间推迟了。
【难句分析】 Economic
changes
have
also
resulted
in
unstable
employment
markets
and
increases
in
costs
of
living,
prompting
many
young
people
to
remain
at
home
and
dependent
on
parents.
分析：该句是一个简单句，句中的“prompting
many
young
people
to
remain
at
home
and
dependent
on
parents”为现在分词短语作结果状语；result
in意为“导致，造成”。
译文：经济上的变化也导致了不稳定的就业市场和生活成本的增加，这促使许多年轻人留在家里并依赖父母。
12．C 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Japan
recently
lowered
its
voting
age
from
20
to
18.
This
decision
was
in
part
to
help
young
people
feel
more
engaged
in
politics”可知，日本最近将投票年龄从20岁降至18岁，这一决定在某种程度上是为了帮助年轻人更好地参与政治；再根据“it
may
also
signal
the
change
of
social
views
regarding
the
beginning
of
adulthood”可推知，参与政治是成年人的责任，故C项正确。
13．D 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“However,
17?year?olds
can
serve
in
the
army
and
get
a
driver's
licence”可知，在澳大利亚的大部分州，人们在17岁时可以服兵役和取得驾照，故D项正确。
14．A 考查词义猜测。根据第四段尾句“Economic
changes
have
also
resulted
in
unstable
employment
markets
and
increases
in
costs
of
living,
prompting
many
young
people
to
remain
at
home
and
dependent
on
parents”可知，经济上的变化也导致了不稳定的就业市场和生活成本的增加，这促使许多年轻人留在家里并依赖父母。据此可推知，A项“促进，助长”与画线词意思相近，故A项正确。
15．C 考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，文章最后一段中的“Due
to
these
social
changes,
our
expectations
of
young
people
and
their
level
of
social
responsibility
have
also
changed”为全文的主题句；又结合全文内容可知，本文主要论述了由于社会的变化，年轻人进入成年人生阶段的时间发生了变化，而人们关于“成年”这一概念的看法也发生了变化，故C项正确。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文体裁为说明文。主题语境为人与社会，内容为社会交往。文章针对如何与在线课程教授沟通为学生提出了一些建议。本文侧重培养学生的学习能力。
1．E 过渡句。设空处前提出与在线(online)课程教授有着良好的沟通很重要，下文介绍了该做的和不该做的事情，因此答案为E项。
2．G 主题句。根据Do's和Don'ts中各段首句的特点可知，设空处为主题句并且是祈使句，设空处后一句中的关键词questions与G项中的questions对应，因此答案为G项。
3．A 细节句。由设空处前面的句子“Participate
in
discussion
forums,
blogs
and
other
open?ended
forums
for
dialogue.”中的关键信息可知，A项中的That指代dialogue，they指代discussion
forums，blogs
and
other
open?ended
forums，因此答案为A项。
4．C 细节句。本段建议学生不要和教授聊个人话题，你在说完和教授沟通的内容之后，如果有必要，教授会进一步向你提问，因此答案为C项。
5．F 细节句。本段建议学生如果对教授的课程有意见，不要公开发表不满，所以空格处的内容应与本段话题一致，F项提到每个人都曾经上过不太好的课，与前后文内容相关联，因此答案为F项。

①where改为when 分析句子结构可知，这里用when引导定语从句修饰先行词day，且when在定语从句中作时间状语。
②or改为and 我感到伤心，而且不愿意跟姐姐分开。此处表顺承，而不是表选择，故用and。
③permanently改为permanent 此处从句为主系表结构，应该用形容词permanent“永久的”作表语。
④her改为herself 这里用反身代词herself，与从句的主语she呼应。
⑤删除find后的out find
out意为“查明，弄清(情况)”，find则指找到或发现寻找的物品。根据语境可知，此处用find。
⑥rooms改为room 她决定找一间属于自己的公寓，至少有一间自己的房间。此处显然用room的单数形式。
⑦to改为for 此处表示登广告找室友，应该用介词for表示“为得到，为获取”。
⑧在perfect前加a match在此处是可数名词，表示“匹配”，且常用单数形式，故应在perfect前加不定冠词，又因perfect的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。
⑨sharing改为shared 此处非谓语动词作前置定语，表示“共同的”，share与被修饰词是逻辑上的动宾关系，应该用过去分词作定语。
⑩become改为became 全文记叙的是发生在过去的事情，因此此处应用一般过去时。
