Two of our grandchildren were able to join us.Having pre-celebrated my Fathers Day and it being on our minds, my wife asked this question only this morning:“Do you remember anything about your father?”While this subject had come up before, however, the question had not been put so bluntly(直率的). I answered “No. My only memory is of the few photos outside.” You see, my father died when I was only four years old.Many people have lost their father early in life and it is easy to feel somewhat sorry for having to deal with such a situation, especially when the death has occurred when you are at an early age. On reflection, I think I do not remember anything because he passed away when he was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force. He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties, however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942.The 2nd World War was in full battle and Australia was being attacked. My Mum and I with my younger brother, were living with my grandparents and I can only imagine the emotional circumstances that existed in the household at that time. Probably not something that would leave a memory.What I would like to say at this time, as the question is often asked, “What did you learn from your father?” The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life. What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age, and after I did, thinking each year the bonus(津贴) of life I had been blessed with when compared to my father.I have sometimes felt disappointment in not knowing my father but life has moved on. However, can I say to those who do have fathers, celebrate today with him and return him all the love and happiness he has given to you.24. Why did the author answered “No” in Para 4?A. He didnt want to talk about his father.B. His father died when he was very young.C. He was much disappointed in his father.D. There was no photo of his father left.25. What do we know about the author?A. He is the only child of his parents.B. His father died of a medical condition.C. He remembered quite a lot about his father.D. He lived with his parents during World War II.26. The fathers passing makes the author_.A. realize the love of his own life.B. hope to live longer than his father.C. feel very disappointed all the time.D. want to get more bonus from life.27. What is the author mainly talking about in this passage?A. His fathers life.B. His Fathers Day.C. His fatherless childhood.D. His fathers influence.【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者由父亲节入手讲述了父亲的离世对自己的影响让他认识到了自己生命中的爱。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“You see, my father died when I was only four years old.”可知，作者回答说不记得关于父亲的事情了是因为父亲在作者很小的时候就离世了，故B项正确。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942.”可知，作者的父亲于1942年死于疾病，故B项正确。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第七段中的“The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life.”可知，父亲的离世让作者认识到了自己生命中的爱，故A项正确。【27题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据最后两段内容可知，作者由父亲节入手讲述了父亲的离世对自己的影响让他认识到了自己生命中的爱，故D项（父亲的影响）正确。【点睛】主旨大意题的难度较大，准确把握文章的主旨是关键，夹叙夹议文的主旨一般在文章最后的议论部分，这是由夹叙夹议文的文体特点决定的，例如本篇第4题，根据最后两段内容，特别是根据倒数第二段中的“The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life.”可知，作者由父亲节入手讲述了父亲的离世对自己的影响，父亲的离世让他认识到了自己生命中的爱。CBelieve it or not, we all have an inner-child living inside of us. One of the greatest problems is peoples desire to silence the inner-child. Instead, welcoming this voice to the conversation can be very beneficial and help you in many areas of your life.Why is it so important to listen to your inner child?Do you remember you wanted to be an adult more than anything else when you were young? But now youre an adult, and do you ever find yourself thinking, “I wish I were a kid again?” Thats where your inner-child comes in. Thats the voice inside of you telling you to have fun, be silly and let loose. Adult life is full of important responsibilities, but once in a while you just have to let go and have fun like a child. Its healthy and good for the soul to not take things so seriously all the time.We can tell bad choices and mistakes of the past, but unless you help your inner-child heal and recover, planning for the future will always be difficult. The inner-child will relive these painful experiences until you learn to accept them, forgive and let go. We must show love and acceptance to our inner-child, as this is the only way to heal, move on and not continue to suffer from the pain of these unpleasant times. This is the opportunity to go back in time and let you know just how wonderful, beautiful and special you truly are.One of the most common times your inner-child is likely to appear is when youre facing a decision you are unsure about. Naturally, when we were children, doubt and uncertainty scared many of us. So, its no surprise that when faced with these moments as adults, the inner-child decides to show up. Dont let this scare you; instead, listen to that voice as it is trying to guide you in the decision-making process. Ask it questions, speak with it.When you can start to see your inner-child as your partner who helps guide you through this crazy life its amazing what can happen. Dont fight it. Go with it and see how it changes your life for the better.28. What do people usually do to the inner-child?A. Stop it.B. Welcome it.C. Rescue it.D. Blame it.29. Why is it always hard to plan for the future?A. We have no fun in our life.B. We always make bad choices.C. We dont help inner-child recover.D. We always experience unhappy times.30. When will inner-child probably come up?A. When we make decisions.B. When we enjoy ourselves.C. When we make mistakes.D. When we feel unpleasant.31. What may happen if we accept inner-child?A. We may feel more painful.B. We will make more mistakes.C. We will take things more seriously.D. We may have a better life.【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D【解析】本文是一篇议论文，每个人内心都一个孩子，不要压制内心的孩子，接受它，它会让我们的生活变得更好。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One of the greatest problems is peoples desire to silence the inner-child.”可知，人们总是想压制内心的孩子，故A项正确。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“but unless you help your inner-child heal and recover, planning for the future will always be difficult.”可知，除非你能帮助你内心的孩子痊愈，否则为将来做计划永远是困难的，故C项正确。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“One of the most common times your inner-child is likely to appear is when youre facing a decision you are unsure about.”可知，当你面临一个你不确定的决定时，内心的孩子很可能会出现，故A项正确。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Go with it and see how it changes your life for the better.”可知，接受内心的孩子会让我们的生活变得更好，故D项正确。DDo you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?If yes, youre not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down (向下滚动) the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits.As Sameer Samat, US tech Company Googles vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8, 70 percent of people dont want to spend so much time on their phones.This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version (版本) of its Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.It all starts with a birds-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times theyve unlocked their phone and how many times theyve checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, theyll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After theyve hit the limit, they wont be able to launch the app until the next day.But even if users become more mindful of their usage, theyre still likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically (自动地) silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?32. Who are the target users of Dashboard?A. People who know little about smartphones.B. People who have trouble dealing with stress.C. People who are slow at searching for things online.D. People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smartphone.33. What can Dashboard do?A. Lock the phone at a certain time.B. Limit some apps to certain users.C. Limit the time certain apps can be used.D. Silence app notifications at night.34. The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to _.A. serious.B. careful.C. prepared.D. creative.35. What does the author think of Dashboard?A. Its not very useful.B. Its perfectly designed.C. It should include more functions.D. It may be helpful to some people.【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了谷歌推出的一款新的应用程序Dashboard能够帮助人们管理自己花在智能手机上的时间。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.”可知，Dashboard包含了幸福感功能，旨在帮助用户管理他们花在数字设备上的时间，由此可知，Dashboard的目标用户是那些想管理自己花在智能手机上的时间的人，故D项正确。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段中的“With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After theyve hit the limit, they wont be able to launch the app until the next day.”可知，通过Dashboard的定时功能，用户可以设定每天使用每个应用程序的时间限制，当时间上限后，他们直到第二天才能启动该应用程序，由此可知，Dashboard能够限制某些应用程序的使用时间，故C项正确。【34题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“of their usage, theyre still likely to be drawn in by notifications”可知，但即使用户更留意他们的使用，他们仍然可能被通知所吸引，由此可知，画线词词义为“留意的、留心的”，故B项正确。【35题详解】观点态度题。根据文章后两段内容可知，如果人们真的想充分利用他们的空闲时间而不是把时间浪费在智能手机上，这种新功能是其中的一个办法，但最简单有效的办法仍然是靠自己的意志力，由此可知，作者认为Dashboard可能会对一些人有所帮助，故D项正确。【点睛】观点态度题的难度较大，文中一般不会直接表明作者的态度，需要我们根据作者的措辞来揣摩其态度，例如本篇第4题，根据文章后两段内容可知，如果人们真的想充分利用他们的空闲时间而不是把时间浪费在智能手机上，这种新功能是其中的一个办法，但最简单有效的办法仍然是靠自己的意志力，由此可知，作者认为Dashboard可能会对一些人有所帮助而不是认为它完全没用或非常有用。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Be a Green ChildWhat does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldnt be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? _36_Reduce It!_37_ For instance, a shorter shower means you used less water and less fuel since your house uses to run the heater that warmed up the water.Reuse It!Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. It means that were a little too willing to throw away old stuff (东西) and buy new stuff._38_ For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop (篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?Recycle It!Recycling has never been easier. Many communities will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even r
