2020-2021学年南师附中高一上学期英语单元检测卷
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 of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have 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, your parents 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 type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger quarrels, because your parents 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, focus on communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible --- like they just don’t see your point of 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 everyone happy. 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
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 it comes to the little things-like having someone to share my bad day with, celebrate my achievements 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 know someone who might consider adopting an older teen, please share my story --- and have him or her think of my family. They didn’t get to see my 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 my work 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.
5.What can we learn from the author’s personal experiences?
A.It’s rather difficult for older youth to be adopted.
B.Older youth bring less joy than babies.
C.It’s unforgettable to have bittersweet Thanksgivings.
D.An older youth aged 18 is too old to need a family.
6.What makes the author feel that she can’t imagine being alone in the world?
A.The family’s giving her a Mickey Mouse as a gift.
B.The family’s always sharing happiness and sorrow with her.
C.Her mother’s failing to attend her wedding.
D.Spending Thanksgiving with her extended family for years.
7.According to the author, adoption really means ______ for older youth.
A.not living alone any longer
B.being taken good care of by others
C.being successful in career
D.being loved and accepted
8.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A.To express her love for her family.
B.To feel sorry for the unadoptable older youth.
C.To ask more people to adopt the older youth.
D.To tell the readers not to blindly believe others.

In a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace 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 created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified (识别). Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that 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___. Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’t true: creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.
Those who see things differently to others and are confident enough to make their ideas a reality are the ones 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 future. ___13___. We can use it to set ourselves apart, and channel it to face the challenges of the future.

B.Creativity is influenced by many factors
