2021-2022学年重庆八中高一（下）月考英语试卷（一）

A
In 2012，an iPhone fell into my hands.This smart technology seemed like the entrance to only fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging.
However,seven years later,I became limited to it.Recent reports show that I'm not alone.According to a study,an average American spends five hours a day on smart devices （装置） and about 2.5 of these hours are spent on messaging,social media and entertainment apps.
It's hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency.I fell asleep to my phone every night and woke to it each morning.I checked the weather app every morning before I chose how to dress for the day.I used it to help me find my way through a city.I checked my email box every time I picked my phone up.
Just like with any addiction,my phone dependency began to influence my life.While spending time with family,I'd stare at a small screen on my lap instead of being involved in communicating with my loved ones.At work,my productivity levels dropped.And then,my four-year relationship came to an end.
Now,I move through life with more goals and intention.I've cut back on my time and attention to my phone.Instead,I focus my efforts on being as present as possible.
I hope you'll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life.Whether or not you've reached a place in your life where your screen time is problematic,there's no harm in carefully giving your current practices some thought.

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common,the market is growing for biometric （生物测量） technologies — like fingerprint scans — to keep others out of private e-spaces.At present,these technologies are still expensive,though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device （装置） that gets around this problem：a smart keyboard.This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence （节奏） with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key.The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses.These patterns are unique to each person.Thus,the keyboard can determine people's identities,and by extension,whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to — regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with.Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology,the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch"four times using the smart keyboard.Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed,with very low error rates.The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive,plastic like parts.The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
5. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard？ ______
A. To reduce pressure on keys.
B. To improve accuracy in typing
C. To replace the password system.
D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
6. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible？ ______
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Data security measures are guaranteed.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
7. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard？ ______
A. It'll be made of plastics. B. It'll reach consumers soon.
C. It'll help speed up typing. D. It'll be environment-friendly.
8. Where is this text most likely from？ ______
A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.
C
If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,youmight have a hard time believing the news：e-mail is on the decline.
At first thought,that might seem to be the case.The incoming generation,after all,doesn't do e-mail.They might have an account.They use it only as we would use a faxmachine：as a means to fulfill thesign-up requirements of websites.They rarely check it,though.
Today's instant electronic memos—such as texting and online messages—are moredirect,more concentrated,and more efficient.They go without the salutation（称呼语）andthe signoff（签收）；we already know the "to"and "from".Many corporations are moving tomessaging networks for exactly that reason：more signal,less noise and less time.This trendis further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated.
The coming of the mobile era accounts for the decline of e-mail.Instant writtenmessages bring great convenience to people.They can deal with them at about any time：before a movie,in a taxi,waiting for lunch.And because these messages are very brief,they're suitable for smart phone typing.
D oes this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history？Not necessarily.E-mail still has certain advantages.On the other hand,tweets and texts feel —youread them,and then they're gone,into an endless string.E-mail still feels like something youhave and that you can file,search and return to later.It's easy to imagine that it will continueto feel more appropriate for formal communications：agreements,important news,and longerexplanations.
So,e-mail won't go away completely.Remember,we've been through a changelike this not so long ago：when e-mail was on the rise,people said that postal mail was dead.That's not how it works.Postal mail found its smaller market,and so will e-mail.There is no doubt that people will keep adding new alternatives to satisfy their needs.
9. What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts？ ______
A. Check bank accounts.
B. Send short messages.
C. Fill in some requirement forms.
D. Communicate with their colleagues.
10. Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs 3 and 4？ ______
A. The likes and dislikes of the young generation.
B. The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail.
C. The rapid development of e-communication channels.
D. Evidence of the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages.
11. What does the underlined word "ephemeral" in paragraph 5 mean？ ______
A. Short-lived. B. Randomly-written.
C. Hardly-recognized. D. Automatically-sending.
12. What can we learn from the passage ？ ______
A. Pride goes before a fall.
B. Change is the only constant.
C. Time and tide wait for no man.
D. Everything is difficult at the beginning.
    As a parent, you know that it's not easy for children to grow up in today's media saturated (媒体饱和的) world. Although children share the same concerns about study, friends, and exercise as you did at the same age, today's children are spending more and more time on cell phones, computers, TVs, or video game machines.   (1)   
    In fact, according to a recent study, over the past five years, children aged 8 to 18 have increased the amount of time they spend on screens by l hour and 17 minutes a day.   (2)   How are screens affecting our children?
      (3)   And it can be any kind of screen-computers, TVs, or cell phones. The bottom line, experts say, is that whether your children have weight problems or not, activities help children feel better, sleep better, and learn better. So parents should make their children get away from the screens and inspire them to get moving.
    Here's an effective way to help children reduce screen time.   (4)   Although your children may not seem to pay attention to anything you do or say, you are still their most important role models. So you can't tell them to cut back on TV time if you spend endless hours watching TV, texting while you're driving, or eating dinner with your phone on the table.   (5)   
A.You should watch your own screen habits.
B.You should try your best to stay with your children.
C.Some children spend up to even more time on them.
D.Try the way, and you will see an extraordinary result.

做题时要通读全文，把握大意，然后结合题干及选项做出正确的选择。

5~8.【答案】D、C、B、D
【解析】（1）D.细节理解题。根据第一段As data and identity theft becomes more and more common,the market is growing for biometric technologies-like fingerprint scans-to keep others out of private e-spaces.At present,these technologies are still costly,though.                            随着数据和身份盗窃变得越来越普遍，生物识别技术（如指纹扫描）的市场正在增长，以防止其他人进入私人电子空间。不过，目前，这些技术的成本仍然很高；第二段第一句Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device that gets around this problem                  ：a smart keyboard.  乔治亚理工大学的研究人员说，他们发明了一种低成本的设备来解决这个问题：一个智能键盘。可知，由于数据和身份失窃越来越普遍，市场的发展正需求生物测量技术，为了不让别人进入私人的电子空间。但是，目前这些技术仍然很昂贵，研究员们发明了低成本的智能键盘来保护私人电子空间。因此，研究人员要开发智能键盘的目的是降低电子空间保护的成本，故选D。
（2）C.推理判断题。根据第二段The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses.                        这种键盘通过分析用户键入的力度和按键之间的时间，可以提供一个强大的安全层次；Thus,the keyboard can determine people's identities,and by extension,whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to- regardless of whether someone gets the password right.                         因此，键盘可以确定人们的身份，进而决定是否应该允许他们访问它所连接的计算机--不管某人是否正确地输入了密码。可知，智能键盘是通过识别用户键入的力度和按键之间的时间来识别用户的身份是否是合法用户，以此来保护用户的个人信息的，打字模式因人而异使得智能键盘能利用这个特点，识别出合法用户，以保护个人信息。因此，使智能键盘的发明成为可能的是打字模式因人而异，故选 C。
（3）B.推理判断题。根据最后一段The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.          该团队希望能在不久的将来推向市场。可知，这个研究团队希望这种智能键盘在不久的将来走向市场，言外之意，这些团队希望这种智能键盘不久将能够到达消费者手中，故选B。
（4）D.文章出处题。根据第一段As data and identity theft becomes more and more common,the market is growing for biometric（生物测量）technologies - like fingerprint scans - to keep others out of private e-spaces.At present,these technologies are still expensive,though.随着数据和身份盗窃变得越来越普遍，生物识别技术的市场也在增长（生物测量）像指纹扫描这样的技术可以防止其他人进入私人电子空间。但目前，这些技术仍然很昂贵。可知，本文主要讲述了随着数据和身份盗窃变得越来越普遍，依靠生物识别技术来保护私人电子空间成本很高。研究员正在研究开发一种智能键盘以降低电子空间保护的成本。结合关于杂志的常识，再根据文章所讲述的内容推断，本文很可能节选自一本科技类杂志。A.A diary.一篇日记；B.A guidebook.一本指南；C.A novel.一本小说；D.A magazine.一本杂志。故选D。
本文是一篇科教类阅读，主要阐述了研究员正在研究开发一种智能键盘的目的与可行性，该智能键盘能降低电子空间保护的成本。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。做题时要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

9~12.【答案】C、B、A、B
【解析】（1）C.细节理解题。根据第二段的"They use it only as we would use a fax machine          ：as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites.                    （他们使用它就像我们使用传真机：作为一种与老派人士例如他们父母的沟通方式，或者填写网站的一些注册要求）"可知，新一代人可能使用电子邮件来和老派人士交流，或者填写一些表格。故选C。
（2）B.段落大意题。根据三四段的主要内容，结合第三段的"Today's instant electronic memos - such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages - are more direct,more concentrated,more efficient.               （今天的即时电子备忘录--如短信，Facebook 和推特消息--更直接、更集中、更高效）"和"This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated.               （这种趋势进一步证明了诸如电子邮件和语音邮件之类的储存转发系统已经过时了）"和第四段的"The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail.             （移动时代的到来是电子邮件衰败的原因）"可知，这两段主要陈述了电子邮件衰败背后可能的原因。故选 B。
（3）A.词义猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子"On the other hand,tweets and texts feel ephemeral - you read them,then they're gone,into an endless string,e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file,search and return to later. "                            可知，另一方面推特和短信感觉 ephemeral--你读了它们，然后它们消失了，变成了无穷无尽的字符串，而电子邮件给人的感觉仍然是你拥有的东西，你可以归档、搜索并可以稍后返回。结合句意可知，和电子邮件相比推特和短信是短暂的，它们很快会消失。由此推知划线词的意思是"短暂存在"，与 shortly-appearing 同义。A.Short-lived短暂存在；B.Randomly-written随机写的；C.Hardly- recognized几乎认不出来；D.Automatically-sending自动发送。故选A。
（4）B.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的"It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications              ：agreements,important news,longer explanations.   （很容易想象，它会继续让人觉得适合使用于正式沟通：协议、重要新闻、更长的解释）"和最后一段 "So,e-mail won't go away completely.Remember,we've been through a transition         （过度） like this not so long ago     ：when e-mail was on the rise,people said that postal mail was dead.That's not how it works.Postal mail found its smaller market,and so will e-mail.New technology rarely replaces old one completely                             ；it just adds new alternatives.     （所以，电子邮件不会完全消失。记住，我们前不久才经历形同的情况：当电子邮件崛起时，人们说邮政邮件时代会过去。但事情不是这样的。邮政邮件找到了它较小的市场，电子邮件也一样。新的技术很少完全取代旧的，它只是添加了新的选择）"可推知，变化是唯一不变的。故选B。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要陈述了随着科技的发展电子邮件的使用正在下降，但它有自身的优势，也可以在小范围内存在，不会完全被替代。
阅读理解，要先通读全文，再结合题目到文章中针对性的寻找与题目相关的细节，抓关键词、关键句，仔细推敲，结合选项，逐一排除，如是错误选项，一定要明白表达错误所在；如是正确选项，一定是完全符合原文作者所要表达的意思、观点或想法，或与文章中某些细节完全相符。
