科目：高中英語 來源：江西省2018屆高三第一次月考英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

We took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be．Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on．At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.

My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．

At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．

I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．

The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．

Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．

But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．

1.What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?

A. The tiredness of her past family life．

B. Her disappointment at the family road trip．

C. The family’s eagerness to return home．

D. Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．

2.Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?

A. Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．

B. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．

C. Because she needed a break after the long drive．

D. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．

3.The underlined word“placemaker”in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who_______ .

A. devotes most of his energy and time to building his house

B. is ready to help anyone in need in the community

C. makes a creative design for others’houses

D. is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others

4.What can be the best title of the passage?

A. On the Way Home B. Never Travel again

C. Escape from a Family Life D. Life on the Farm

Have you ever heard of the Coral Sea? It is home to an amazing variety of turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins, large fish, birds, corals, plants, and many other species. Many of these species are endangered elsewhere in the world, but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea.

The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs located off the northeast coast of Australia. This area is three times larger than Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef, which the Coral Sea borders.

The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by over-fishing, oil and gas exploration and pollution. However, statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests. It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.

The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions. Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area, which will mean a large “no-take zone” for fishermen, a no-exploration zone for gas and oil companies and a no-dump zone for pollution, possibly making the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any other in the world.

We can write letters to Australian leaders, Australian environmental protection agencies, and Australian friends, to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the Coral Sea. To lose this last great marine wilderness world would be a loss for the whole world.

1.According to the passage, why should we protect the Coral Sea without any delay?

A. Because the Coral Sea, home to many species, will disappear soon.

B. Because the Coral Sea is rich in natural resources like oil and gas.

C. Because the Coral Sea is three times larger than Great Barrier Reef.

D. Because the Coral Sea will be a marine park larger than any other in the world.

2.Once the Coral Sea area is declared n marine protected area by law, .

A. it will surely become the largest marine park all over the world

B. no one will be allowed to there to have a dose look any more

C. from time to time people can still dump their rubbish around there

D. over-fishing, oil and gas exploration will be banned altogether there

3.What is the attitude of the author towards the protection of the Coral Sea?

A. Objective. B. Favorable.

C. Doubtful. D. Negative.

The “e” in e-sports stands for electronic. Instead of playing physical games, people play games on a computer. Most of these games are played on the Internet.

People love e-sports for the same reasons as people love many other sports. The competition is fun. The play is exciting to watch. The players are highly skilled. However, people like e-sports for another key reason. The sport of video games creates new, exciting worlds. In the games, people can do things that they cannot do in normal life.

South Korea is the global center for professional e-sports. In South Korea, places called PC Bangs are very popular. They usually have one big room filled with many computers. There are no windows. People pay to play the games. They can also buy energy drinks and food. Young people spend many hours there.

Many people are concerned about the problems that can come with e-sports. One main problem is technology addiction(癮). Young people can especially play so many games that they cannot stop. Some experts believe that half of South Korean children have problems because of using computers and the Internet too much. Therefore, the South Korean government made a special Shutdown Law in 2011. According to the law, children under 16 are not permitted to use the Internet between midnight and six in the morning. Today, parents are responsible for setting rules for their own children. Also, the government established technology addiction treatment centers, which treat millions of people every year.

One of the biggest problems in e-sports is drugs. Many players often take drugs to improve their performance. However, using drugs can be very dangerous. Bjoern Franzen worked in the e-sport business for many years. He wrote in his blog, “Using drugs in e-sports is one of the industry’s secrets. It is a natural thing for some League of Legends players to take different kinds of drugs before a game. They will even do this to extend their training for a few extra hours.

1.According to Paragraph 2, people are more attracted by e-sports particularly because ________.

A. it is creative

B. it is full of competition

C. it has no time limitation

D. its players are professional

2.What do PC Bangs in South Korea mainly aim at?

A. Selling popular drinks and snacks.

B. Providing people with computer games.

C. Displaying different types of computers.

D. Instructing kids under 16 to surf the Internet.

3.What did the South Korean government do about technology addiction?

A. They shut down some e-sports centers.

B. They urged parents not to use computers at home.

C. They passed a law to limit the time kids spend on the Internet.

D. They planned to set up technology addiction treatment centers.
