海南中学2019届高三第一次月考英语试题第二部分阅读理解第一节（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）AThe Asian country announced yesterday that China was putting tariffs or taxes on about $3 billion worth of imports from the U.S. The tariffs are on 128 American-made products, ranging from pork and fruit to steel pipes. This will make it more expensive for America businesses to sell those products in China. And China says this was done as a response to the tariffs that the U.S. recently put on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump says more tariffs, new ones worth as much a $50 billion are being planned by the U.S. on additional goods from China. So, one big question is, will all this cause a trade war, when countries take turns putting tariffs on each other's goods, causing prices to rise?We don't know yet. The U.S. and China ship hundreds of billions of dollars of goods back and forth every year. So, the tariffs we've seen so far are a tiny part of that. And America's treasury secretary says the U.S. and China are talking behind the scenes about how to prevent a possible trade war.But a number of experts are concerned this could turn into one and so are some stock investors. The Chinese tariffs were a major factor in a drop of the U.S. stock market yesterday when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 459 points. But just like it's hard to tell if a trade war is on the horizon, it's also hard to tell what kind of effects one could have decades down the road.21.Which of the following imports did the U.S government put tariffs on?A.PorkB.FruitC.AluminumD.Steel pipes22. Why does the Chinese government put tariffs on imports from the U.S?A.Chinese government wants to cease the trade war.B.Chinese government wants to benefit from the tradeC.Chinese government wants to make an eye for an eye.D.Chinese government wants to cause the Dow Jones Industrial Average to fall.23. In which section of a newspaper can you probably find this article?A.E conomyB.TechnologyC.EntertainmentD. CultureThis activity will melt away the pounds, build your body and leave you on an emotional high. Yet the form of exercise, the fitness trend of the year, does not require gym membership or a personal trainer. All you need to do is walk."Walking is a refreshing alternative to complicated aerobic(氧) routines and over-priced gym memberships," says personal trainer Lucy Knight, author of a new book on the exercise. "It is free, enjoyable and already a part of everyday life. All you need to do is correct your technique, walk faster and for longer, and you will lose weight." There is much evidence of the benefits of walking. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh recently revealed that overweight people who walked briskly(快) for 30 to 60 minutes a day lost weight even if they didn't change any other lifestyle habits.Another American study found that people who walked for at least four hours a week gained less weight than couch potatoes as they got older.Researchers at the University of Massachusetts medical school found that people who walked every day had 25 percent fewer colds than those who sat a lot. Best of all, walking makes you feel good about yourself. "For people suffering from depression, walking three to four times a week for 30 minutes has been shown to lift their mood," says Knight.But how to walk your way to weight loss and wellness？Health experts recommend that we should walk 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Actually you would probably need to walk at least 16,000 steps a day to lose weig ht.”Your workout plans depend on your level of fitness. You should aim to progress by increasing your walking time by five minutes every two weeks, and walk a bit faster. In just three months, the results should speak for themselves," says Knight.24. What is the latest fitness trend according to the passage?A.Brisk walkingB.Losing weightC.Working out in a gymD.Exercising with a personal trainer25. The underlined word overpriced in Paragraph 2 means_____A.expensiveB.worthyC.prepaidD.discountable26.

Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting (分心) — even if it is not your own. And the devices (设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups — one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character, indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone. The researchers suggest that people are drawn to the presence of a mobile phone, although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said. “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.29. Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using computers.30. In a face-to-face communication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces people’s attention to what they are listening to.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.第二节七选五With modern technology, much written communication tends to focus on the keyboard, but handwriting is still a necessary and important skill.__31__Here are some tips for you to improve your handwriting.Examine Your Handwriting32_ Look through your writing to decide what makes it difficult to read or what makes it unattractive. Perhaps you write your letters too small. Check on spacing of letters and words, and proper formation of letters. If your letters are small, put more effort into writing larger letters. If certain letters trip you up, practice those letters separately and within words.Write CorrectlyPositioning and technique play a role in how your handwriting looks. Hold the pen between your thumb and first two fingers so that it rests against your fingers. Hold it firmly enough to control the tip but not so hard that it hurts your fingers. Lighter pressure on the paper helps you create smooth lines and focus on your letter formation. 33__34__Letters are formed from several basic strokes(笔划). Practice those strokes separately to get your hand used to forming them. Strokes found in letters include vertical lines, horizontal lines, and circles. Build on those to practice specific letters.Write for a PurposeTeach young children handwriting in meaningful contexts. Use that same idea by picking up a pen to write lists and notes by hand instead of typing. Keep a journal daily with slow, correct strokes. 35 ___ These true and sincere writing opportunities make the practice meaningful.A. Build on Basics.B. Practice makes perfectC. Focus on improving your correctness instead of speedD. Writing at a slower speed also helps you focus on letter formationE. Put a handwritten letter in the mail to surprise a friend or a relativeF. Handwriting requires your brain, eyes and hands to work together to form letters.G. Before you can improve your handwriting, you need to know where you’re falling apart.完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）Double TroubleWhen I was eight, I wanted a toy and needed $10 to buy it.

To repay the loan, you will need to give me $11 after one month. If you wait two months to pay me back, your 41 will grow from $10 to $11. So I’ll be charging you interest on $11.
