江苏省南京市南京师范大学附属中学2020-2021学年高一上学期 10月月考英语试卷
第一部分: 阅读理解 ( 共两节，满分 26分)
第一节: 阅读短文 ( 共 8小题; 每小题 2分，满分 16分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B 、C 、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color ofyour bedroomwalls. Where yougo andhowyou get there.
The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these thingshave in common? You’re asking.
They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid, you didn’t have a say in very much that went on; your parents made decisions about everything from
the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it’s a good thing, too-kids need this kind of
protection and assistance because they aren’t mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions
on their own.
But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity (身份认
同)--- one that is separate from your parents’. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own
decisions, yourparents have a difficult time adjusting (调整). They aren’ t used to the new you yet --- they only know
you as the kid who had everything decided for you and didn’t mind.
In many families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like
the typeof friends you have or yourattitudesto partying can cause bigger quarrels, becauseyourparents still always
want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get
more comfortable with the idea that their teen has a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and
teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focuson communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible --- like they just don’t see your pointof view and never will. But talking and
expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents and you may be able to reach
compromises (和解) that make everyonehappy. For example, if you are willing to clean your room in order to stay
out an hour later, both you and your parents walk away with a good deal. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were
teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.

B
When I was 16 years old and in foster care (寄养中心 ) in Tennessee, I wanted a family very much. I asked for
the help of a judge, even the commissioner of the Department of Children’s Services, and was adopted (收养 ) just a
week before my 18th birthday.
We have a lot to be grateful for and this holiday season let’s not forget about the more than 415,000 youth in
foster care especially older youth These youth are the most likely to get overlooked (忽视 ) for adoption, but they
shouldn’t be. They need and deserve a family just as much as young children do. Making an older youth a part of
your family can bring just as much a joy as adopting a baby or a younger child.
My adoption was life changing and probably the best thing that ever happened to me. I still remember the first
gift my parents gave to me. It was a Mickey Mouse key chain with a key to their home. They told me that no matter
what happened they would always love me and I’d always have a place to come home to. This is our 17th
Thanksgiving together....
My first Thanksgiving with my family was a little overwhelming (难以应付的 ) with lots of extended family
including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. However, It’s when I realized that I would never have to spend
another holiday alone and that was truly an amazing feeling.
I was always eager to spend time with my little sister, Beth. She was six when I joined the family. My dad always
says he knew we were really sisters, and I was no longer a guest in the house when Beth and I had our first fight.
Today, she’s one of my best friends, and I’m her biggest cheerleader.
There were also bittersweet Thanksgivings. One we spent in my mom’s hospital room. It was there that she
helped me plan my wedding but passed away three weeks before the ceremony. My dad walked me down the aisle,
and my sister was my maid of honor. Because of our bond, we were able to support each other through that
2 / 8

challenging time and that’s what family is for the good and bad times.
It’s nice having my dad and sister to share holidays and special occasions. But they’re even more important
when itcomes to thelittlethings-like having someone to share mybadday with, celebrate myachievements at work,
or help me think through a difficult decision. It’s in these moments that I just can’t imagine being alone in the world.
I’m so glad that I didn’t listen to those people who said I’d never find a family, and that I was putting myself
out there for rejection (拒绝接受 ). It’s a risk for older foster youth to consider adoption. It’s an opportunity to be
rejected once again. But it’s a risk they should take because life doesn’t end at 18. It’s really just beginning.
If you knowsomeone who might consider adopting an older teen, please share my story --- and have him or her
think of myfamily. They didn’t get to seemy first steps. But they taught me so many things about life, and were
there to watch me walk across the stage when I graduated from college and law school and accompanied (陪伴 ) me
to the White House last year as I was honored for mywork helping foster youth.
I look forward to many more Thanksgivings with my family, and I’m thankful they chose me to be a part of
their family.

than they had expected it would be when they were in school.
___9___. It is of course possible to scan (扫描 ) people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is

you are creative in a particular way.
One misunderstanding about creativity is that it is meant for a few special people. This is not true. ___10___.

who make the greatest changes in the world. As a result, it is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity.
___11___. Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate (探究 ) when things do not make sense. They
need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful.
It is worrying that many schools are less concerned now with nurturing (培养 ) creativity when this is the most
important time in history for it. It used to be that people worked hard, went to university, and got a job. ___12___.
But now, everyone works hard, goes to university --- and there aren’t the jobs out there that guarantee (保证 ) a safe
