1.2025届上海市闵行区高三上学期质量调研（一模）英语试题
Li Lin, a senior high 3 student, is preparing an argumentative essay on sea exploration. He has
collected some texts for reference, two of which are shown below for his writing.
Text 1Exploring the sea usually means exploiting it, which has caused numerous
problems and will continue to cause more.
More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million
gallons (加仑) of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also harmful, killing many birds and
fish, and has even been found in our tap water. Mining for resources is damaging, especially in the
Arctic. Climate change has led to less ice, which means we can look for more fossil fuels(化石燃料)
further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more, thus worsening this negative cycle.
Whales and dolphins are also overfished for their meat or for research. Although this was banned in
1982, some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy.
The sea stretches out immeasurably but it is more sensitive than we think. If we don’t protect it,
future generations will not forgive us.
Text 2To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of
it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration matters to the future.Gaining more insights into the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new
species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to discover new
medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may provide hints
of events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need new resources
for future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice, not just
oil and gas but also valuable minerals. The related environmental risks should be balanced with
economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves, we can have more options for managing this
balance.
1．Which of the following can be inferred from the texts?
A．Plastic pollution has directly contributed to the melting of Arctic ice.
B．Logging new species could lead to advancements in medicine and food production.
C．Overfishing has been completely stopped due to international bans introduced in 1982.
D．The population growth worldwide has reduced the need for deep-sea resources.
2．Before writing, Li Lin puts forward some questions. Which question CAN NOT Li Lin find the
answer to from the texts?
A．What’s the purpose of sea exploration?
B．How does sea exploration cause damage to the sea?
C．What benefits can sea exploration bring to other research fields?
D．What can we do to balance environmental protection and sea exploration?
3．If Li Lin is determined to write an essay based on opinions from both texts, which of the
following will most probably be the central theme of his essay?
A．Ways to improve the efficiency of sea development.
B．Technological breakthroughs in sea exploration.
C．Balance between the impact of sea exploration and its benefits.
D．Appeal to protect the sea from unsustainable exploration.
【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕海洋探索的利弊进行了讨论，提出了正反两方的观点。
文本1主要阐述了海洋探索可能带来的问题，如污染、资源破坏等，并强调了保护海洋的重
要性。文本2则强调了海洋探索对于了解地球、管理资源以及寻找新资源的重要性，并提出
了在环境风险与经济需求之间寻求平衡的观点。
1．推理判断题。根据文章文本 2中的“It may enable us to discover new medicines, as well as
new sources of food and energy.(这可能使我们能够发现新的药物，以及新的食物和能源来
源。)”可知，记录新物种可能有助于我们发现新药以及新的食物和能源来源，因此可以推断
出记录新物种可能推动医学和食品生产的发展。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据文章文本1中“ More exploration means more pollution. The DeepwaterHorizon spilled over 200 million gallons (加仑) of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also
harmful, killing many birds and fish, and has even been found in our tap water. Mining for resources
is damaging, especially in the Arctic. Climate change has led to less ice, which means we can look
for more fossil fuels (化石燃料) further north. (更多的勘探意味着更多的污染。2010年，
“深水地平线”钻井平台向海中泄漏了超过 2亿加仑的石油。塑料污染也是有害的，杀死了
许多鸟类和鱼类，甚至在我们的自来水中也发现了塑料污染。资源开采是破坏性的，尤其是
在北极地区。气候变化导致冰层减少，这意味着我们可以在更北的地方寻找更多的化石燃
料)”文章文本 2 中的“Gaining more insights into the sea will also help us manage its resources
better. Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to
discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may
provide hints of events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need
new resources for future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea
and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. The related environmental risks should be
balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves, we can have more options for
managing this balance.(更多地了解海洋也将帮助我们更好地管理海洋资源。采伐新物种将增进
我们对地球上生命的了解。它可能使我们发现新的药物，以及新的食物和能源来源。进入深
海可能会提供地震等事件的线索。世界人口在增长，我们需要新的资源来发展未来。海底和
冰层下可能蕴藏着大量的资源，不仅有石油和天然气，还有宝贵的矿物。相关的环境风险应
与经济需求相平衡。希望随着技术的进步，我们可以有更多的选择来管理这种平衡。)”可知，
文本虽然提到了海洋探索可能带来的环境问题，海洋探索的目的以及探索海洋的益处，但并
未明确提出如何平衡这两者。由此可知，选项 D“What can we do to balance environmental
protection and sea exploration?( 我们如何平衡环境保护和海洋探索？)”这个问题不能从文本中
找到直接答案。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文本1主要阐述了海洋探索可能带来的问题，如污染、
资源破坏等，并强调了保护海洋的重要性。文本 2则强调了海洋探索对于了解地球、管理资
源以及寻找新资源的重要性，并提出了在环境风险与经济需求之间寻求平衡的观点。因此，
平衡这两方面的关系成为了文本的核心主题。由此可知，如果李琳决定根据两篇文本中的观
点写一篇文章，那么文章的中心主题最有可能是选项 C“Balance between the impact of sea
exploration and its benefits. (海洋探索的影响与其带来的利益之间的平衡)”。故选C。
2.2024届上海市徐汇区高三下学期二模考试英语试题
Both my parents worked for 30-plus years for their employers — they had lifelong careers at a
single company. Growing up, they taught me the importance of “loyalty” and “commitment”.
But in a rapidly changing world, the concept of a job for life has become as rare as a dial-up
internet connection. This shift from stable, long-term employment and single-employer careers to a
world where frequent job changes are the norm comes directly from globalisation, rapid
technological advancements and the changing ideas about work.
Globalisation has turned the world economy into a giant, interconnected web. This has made
job markets fiercely competitive and talent and opportunities in the labour market more diverse anddigitally accessible.
Jobs can be widely publicised and explored online and are no longer tied to your city of birth.
Add to this the rapid technological progress. We now live in a world where the skills you learned
yesterday might not be enough for today’s job market.
The job market is transforming, with new careers emerging as automation and artificial
intelligence (AI) advances. Risks and price policies can be efficiently assessed using AI, making
insurance underwriters redundant while advanced software in banking and finance mean data
analysis can be automated.
Online booking has reduced demand for travel agents and desktop publishers are being
replaced by user-friendly software, which allows people to create their own materials. These changes
highlight the need for professionals to update their skills and adapt to a technologically evolving job
market.
As a result, career paths have become fluid and multi-directional. It’s no longer just about
climbing the corporate ladder and getting a regular paycheck; it’s about exploring different paths,
switching jobs and industries and sometimes even venturing into freelancing and the gig economy.
Loyalty is defined as an employee’s commitment to their organisation and its goals. It means a
willingness to put in extra effort and to uphold the company’s values and objectives. Loyal workers
often identify strongly with their workplace, are reliable and view the organisation positively, even
during tough times.
When long-term employees change workplaces, it does not mean they are disloyal. It signifies
a change in priorities and a redefined loyalty bond. Employees are loyal to their employer and its
interests while working there. But they also seek mutual growth and expect to be recognised and
rewarded.
Career paths are now a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of experiences and opportunities. Instead of a
career identity being about a company brand, it is about skills, experiences and the meaningfulness of
the work. This transformation means career decision-making is more intricate, considering personal
aspirations, market trends and family considerations.
4．What factors have contributed to the shift in job market dynamics?
A．Increased reliance on desktop publishing software.
B．Changing ideas about loyalty and commitment.C．The decreasing demand for travel agents due to online booking systems.
D．Globalization, rapid technological advancements, and evolving work concepts.
5．What skills are highlighted as essential for professionals in the evolving job market?
A．Skills related to desktop publishing.
B．Skills that were relevant yesterday.
C．Skills in data analysis and adaptability.
D．Skills in insurance underwriting.
6．How does the passage suggest employees should approach loyalty in the modern workplace?
A．By remaining with a single employer for their entire career.
B．By prioritizing personal growth and recognition.
C．By relying on traditional definitions of loyalty.
D．By avoiding job changes to maintain loyalty.
7．The best title for the passage is________.
A．Forget About a Job for Life
B．Learn More as Much as You Can
C．Benefit from Long-term Employment
D．The Impact of Globalization
【答案】4．D 5．C 6．B 7．A
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者认为，随着时代的发展，终身工作的概念已经过时，我们应
该更加重视个人成长和认同，适应现在千变万化的职业道路，并从各个角度论述了这个观点。
4．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“This shift from stable, long-term employment and single-
employer careers to a world where frequent job changes are the norm comes directly from
globalisation, rapid technological advancements and the changing ideas about work.(从稳定、长期
的雇佣和单一雇主的职业生涯，到频繁换工作成为常态的世界，这种转变直接来自全球化、
快速的技术进步和工作观念的变化)”可知，全球化、快速的技术进步和工作观念的变化促成
了就业市场动态的变化。故选D。
5．细节理解题。根据第五段“The job market is transforming, with new careers emerging as
automation and artificial intelligence (AI) advances. Risks and price policies can be efficiently
assessed using AI, making insurance underwriters redundant while advanced software in banking and
finance mean data analysis can be automated.(随着自动化和人工智能（AI）的进步，新的职业出
现，就业市场正在发生变化。使用人工智能可以有效地评估风险和价格政策，使保险承销商
变得多余，而银行和金融领域的先进软件意味着数据分析可以自动化)”和第六段“Online
booking has reduced demand for travel agents and desktop publishers are being replaced by user-
friendly software, which allows people to create their own materials. These changes highlight the
need for professionals to update their skills and adapt to a technologically evolving job market.(在线预订减少了对旅行社的需求，桌面出版商正被用户友好的软件所取代，这些软件允许人们创
建自己的材料。这些变化凸显了专业人士需要更新他们的技能，以适应技术不断发展的就业
市场)”可知，在不断变化的就业市场中，专业人士最重要的技能是数据分析能力和适应能力。
故选C。
6．细节理解题。根据第九段最后两句“Employees are loyal to their employer and its interests
while working there. But they also seek mutual growth and expect to be recognised and rewarded.(员
工在那里工作时忠于雇主及其利益。但他们也寻求共同成长，并期望得到认可和回报)”可知，
文章建议员工在现代工作场所应该通过强调个人成长和认可来对待忠诚。故选B。
7．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Both my parents worked for 30-plus years for their employers —
they had lifelong careers at a single company. Growing up, they taught me the importance of
“loyalty” and “commitment”.(我的父母都为他们的雇主工作了30多年——他们一生都在一家公
司工作。从小到大，他们教会了我“忠诚”和“承诺”的重要性。)”，第二段第一句“But in
a rapidly changing world, the concept of a job for life has become as rare as a dial-up internet
connection.(但在一个瞬息万变的世界里，终身工作的概念已经变得像拨号上网一样罕见)”和
最后一段“Career paths are now a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of experiences and opportunities. Instead
of a career identity being about a company brand, it is about skills, experiences and the
meaningfulness of the work. This transformation means career decision-making is more intricate,
considering personal aspirations, market trends and family considerations.(职业道路现在是一个千
变万化的经历和机会。职业身份不是关于公司品牌，而是关于技能、经验和工作的意义。这
种转变意味着职业决策更加复杂，需要考虑个人抱负、市场趋势和家庭因素)”可知，文章主
要是讲随着时代的发展，终身工作的概念已经过时，我们应该更加重视个人成长和认同，适
应现在千变万化的职业道路。故选A。
二，社会议题
3.2025届上海市普陀区高三上学期一模考试英语试题
The following texts explore different perspectives on the topic of reducing work hours. As you
read, consider the arguments and evidence presented to understand the complexities of this issue.
“Reducing work hours can actually boost productivity. Studies show that
employees with a 4-day work week are more focused and efficient. With fewer
hours, workers spend less time on non-productive activities, experiencing less
burnout and higher job satisfaction. The traditional 40-hour work week is outdated;
it doesn’t fit with today’s fast-paced work environments or mental health needs.
Companies implementing shorter weeks have seen up to a 20% increase in
productivity, indicating that quality often surpasses quantity. ”
Dr. Maria Thompson, Behavioral Economist
“Cutting work hours sounds appealing, but it’s not feasible across all
industries. Some sectors, like healthcare and manufacturing, require constant
coverage. Reducing hours could lead to staff shortages, increased costs, and a
heavier workload for remaining employees. Not every job or person fits into a
reduced-hours model. While there may be productivity gains in specific cases,
generalizing this approach could harm overall workforce stability and profitability.
We must consider both economic realities and the varying needs across industries. ”Professor John Baker, Labor Relations Expert
“The debate over shorter work weeks has become a hot topic, with advocates
pointing to mental health and productivity benefits, while opponents warn of
practical and economic challenges. While the 4-day work week works for some, it
may not be a one-size-fits-all solution. A balance between flexible schedules and
organizational needs may ultimately offer the best path forward. ”
Commentary from Industry Journal Workforce Weekly
8．What is the main argument presented by Dr. Maria Thompson?
A．Employees with shorter work weeks are less productive.
B．The traditional 40-hour work week is still highly effective.
C．Reducing work hours can increase efficiency and job satisfaction.
D．Shorter work hours can lead to increased burnout and inefficiency.
9．What concern does Professor John Baker raise about reducing work hours?
A．It will decrease productivity across all industries.
B．It may lead to higher expenses and staff shortage.
C．Employees will be granted too much free time.
D．The mental health of employees will worsen.
10．Based on the texts, why might some companies resist adopting a 4-day work week?
A．They are concerned it could reduce overall productivity.
B．They believe all employees prefer a traditional schedule.
C．They feel it unnecessary given current mental health trends.
D．They worry it won’t work for industries requiring constant staffing.
【答案】8．C 9．B 10．D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了减少工作时间这一主题的各种不同观点。
8．细节理解题。根据第一部分Dr. Maria Thompson, Behavioral Economist的观点中“Reducing
work hours can actually boost productivity. Studies show that employees with a 4-day work week are
more focused and efficient. With fewer hours, workers spend less time on non-productive activities,
experiencing less burnout and higher job satisfaction. (减少工作时间实际上可以提高工作效率。
研究表明，每周工作4天的员工更专注，效率更高。工作时间越少，员工花在非生产性活动
上的时间就越少，工作倦怠感就越少，工作满意度也就越高)”可知，玛丽亚·汤普森博士提出
的主要论点是减少工作时间可以提高效率和工作满意度。故选C项。
9．细节理解题。根据第二部分 Professor John Baker, Labor Relations Expert 的观点中“Some
sectors, like healthcare and manufacturing, require constant coverage. Reducing hours could lead to
staff shortages, increased costs, and a heavier workload for remaining employees.(一些行业，如医疗保健和制造业，需要持续的工作方式。减少工作时间可能会导致员工短缺，增加成本，并
增加剩余员工的工作量)”及“While there may be productivity gains in specific cases, generalizing
this approach could harm overall workforce stability and profitability. We must consider both
economic realities and the varying needs across industries.(虽然在特定情况下可能会有生产力的
提升，但将这种方法普遍化可能会损害整体劳动力的稳定性和盈利能力。我们必须考虑到经
济现实以及各行业不同的需求)”可知，约翰·贝克教授认为减少工作时间可能会导致更高的费
用和人员短缺。故选B项。
10．推理判断题。根据第二部分 Professor John Baker, Labor Relations Expert 的观点中
“Cutting work hours sounds appealing, but it's not feasible across all industries. Some sectors, like
healthcare and manufacturing, require constant coverage. (减少工作时间听起来很有吸引力，但并
不是在所有行业都可行。一些行业，如医疗保健和制造业，需要持续的工作方式)”和“Not
every job or person fits into a reduced-hours model. While there may be productivity gains in
specific cases, generalizing this approach could harm overall workforce stability and profitability.(不
是每个工作或每个人都适合减少工作时间的模式。虽然在特定情况下可能会有生产力的提升，
但将这种方法普遍化可能会损害整体劳动力的稳定性和盈利能力)”可知，有些公司会拒绝采
用一周工作4天(减少工作时间的模式)，因为他们担心这种方法不适合需要持续人员配置的行
业。故选D项。
4.上海市奉贤区2023届高三二模英语试题
My 21-year-old niece, a second-year undergraduate, mentioned that she watches video lectures
offline at twice the normal speed. Struck by this, I asked some other students I know. Many now
routinely speed up their lectures when learning offline — often by 1.5 times, sometimes by even
more. Speed learning is not for everyone, but there are websites where students discuss how odd it
will be once they return to the lecture theatre. One contributor wrote: “Normal speed now sounds like
drunk speed.”
Education was adapting to the digital world long before Covid-19 but, as with so many other
human activities, the pandemic has given learning a huge push towards the virtual. Overnight,
schools and universities closed and teachers and students had to find ways to do what they do only
via the internet. “This is a time for schools and systems to reimagine education without schooling or
classrooms,” says Professor Yong Zhao. Dr Jim Watterston in Australia thinks that, while the
traditional classroom is still alive and well, education needs to be more adventurous and flexible.
Earlier this year, Zhao and Watterston co-authored a paper in which they identified some major
changes that should happen in education post-lockdown.
The first concerns the content, which should emphasize such things as creativity, criticalthinking and leadership, rather than the collection and storage of information. “For humans to
progress in the age of smart machines, it is essential that they do not compete with machines.”, they
wrote, “Instead, they need to be more human.”
The second is that students should have more control over their learning, with the teacher’s role
shifting from instructor to supervisor of learning resources, advisor and motivator. This is where so-
called “active learning” comes in with a growing body of research suggesting that comprehension
and memory are better when students learn in a hands-on way — through discussion and interactive
technologies, for example. It’s also where the concept of “productive failure” applies. Professor
Manu Kapurin argues that students learn better from their own or others’ failed attempts to solve a
problem before or even instead of being told how to solve it.
If the progress of the times is unable to hold back the coming revolution in education, it seems
unlikely that the traditional classroom is going to have any luck in its attempts trying to turn back the
clock. As Laurillard puts it, “It took a global pandemic to drive home what we’ve been saying for 20
years.”
11．By giving examples of “speed learning” in the first paragraph, the author wants to show that
_________.
A．digital world is dramatically reforming the way of learning.
B．speed learning completely replaces normal speed learning.
C．returning to the lecture theatre is strange after speed learning.
D．education begins to adapt to digital world after Covid-19.
12．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．It is essential for smart machines to be more human.
B．Students should possess more information about creativity.
C．Students value others’ failure over their own failure.
D．“Active learning” calls for diverse ways of involvement.
13．According to Zhao and Watterston, the major changes in education should include _________.
①learning mode ②learning motive ③learning attitude ④learning focus
A．①④ B．②③ C．①③ D．②④
14．According to the passage, what does the author most probably agree with?
A．Speed learning harms students’ learning efficiency.B．The coming revolution in education is irreversible.
C．Teachers will play a less important role in the future.
D．The traditional classrooms will eventually disappear.
【答案】11．A 12．D 13．A 14．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。疫情之后，教育也发生了一些变化。文章认为教育的内容应该
有所转变，而学习的主动权则应该交给学生。
11．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Education was adapting to the digital world long before
Covid-19 but, as with so many other human activities, the pandemic has given learning a huge push
towards the virtual. Overnight, schools and universities closed and teachers and students had to find
ways to do what they do only via the internet.(早在2019冠状病毒病之前，教育在适应数字世界，
但与许多其他人类活动一样，疫情也极大地推动了学习向虚拟发展。一夜之间，学校和大学
都关闭了，老师和学生不得不想办法通过互联网来做他们只能做的事情)”可知，第一段的例
子主要是为了引出主题，也就是数字世界正在改变学习方式。故选A。
12．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The second is that students should have more control
over their learning, with the teacher’s role shifting from instructor to supervisor of learning
resources, advisor and motivator. This is where so-called “active learning” comes in with a growing
body of research suggesting that comprehension and memory are better when students learn in a
hands-on way — through discussion and interactive technologies, for example. (二是学生应该对自
己的学习有更多的控制权，教师的角色从指导者转变为学习资源的监督者、顾问和激励者。
这就是所谓的“主动学习”的来源，越来越多的研究表明，当学生以实践的方式学习时——
例如通过讨论和互动技术——理解和记忆会更好)”可知，“主动学习”需要多种参与方式，
故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The first concerns the content, which should emphasize such
things as creativity, critical thinking and leadership, rather than the collection and storage of
information.(首先是内容，内容应该强调创造力、批判性思维和领导力，而不是信息的收集和
存储)”以及文章第四段“The second is that students should have more control over their learning,

故选A。
14．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If the progress of the times is unable to hold back the
coming revolution in education, it seems unlikely that the traditional classroom is going to have any
luck in its attempts trying to turn back the clock. As Laurillard puts it, “It took a global pandemic to
drive home what we’ve been saying for 20 years.”(如果时代的进步无法阻挡即将到来的教育改革，
那么传统课堂似乎不太可能在试图让时光倒流的尝试中有任何运气。正如劳里拉德所言，
“我们20年来一直在说的话，只有一场全球大流行才能让人明白。”)”可知，作者认为教育
改革是不可逆转的。故选B。5.2024届上海市普陀区高三下学期二模英语试题
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill
— the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is
often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous
feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be
forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows
the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or
without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out
new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially
strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for
meals. In general, parents’ demands and social values are as important as children’s own well-being.
Therefore, parents also need to constantly observe the world and explore the unknown so as to give
the children good personalized education in their growth.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very
important in parental teaching. To ban a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for
morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept (训诫)”. If they are not
sincere and do not practice what they say, their children may grow confused, and emotionally
insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some
extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals
can be a dangerous disappointment. Parents must pay more attention to their own behavior and
language, passing on the right values and cognition to their children. In this way, children can grow
up healthily on the right track.
15．What do parents usually do when their children are growing up?
A．Speed up their children’s learning.
B．Watch their children learn new skills.
C．Put their children into a state of isolation.
D．Make their children live on their own.
16．What’s right about parents’ being strict with their children?A．Parents should not expect too much of them.
B．Parents should encourage them to read faster than others.
C．Parents should create as many learning opportunities as possible.
D．Parents should find a balance between being strict and leaving them alone.
17．The second paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A．parents should be strict with their children
B．parents need to be strict with themselves
C．different parents treat their children differently
D．parents set strict limits on their children’s spending
18．In moral matters, parents should ______.
A．keep in line in words and deeds
B．demand that their children listen to them
C．know the difference between adults and children
D．consistently ensure the security of their children
【答案】15．B 16．D 17．C 18．A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕父母在抚养孩子过程中应注意的问题和策略展开，
提出了自己的观点和论据，阐述了父母在孩子成长过程中的重要作用和应该注意的方面。
15．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the
child’s acquisition of each new skill— the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the
beginning of reading and writing.(在抚养孩子的过程中，每个父母都热切地注视着孩子掌握每
一项新技能——第一次说话，第一次独立行走，或开始阅读和写作。)”可知，在孩子成长的
过程中，父母通常会热切地注视着孩子掌握每一项新技能。故选B。
16．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are
severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, parents’ demands and
social values are as important as children’s own well-being. Therefore, parents also need to
constantly observe the world and explore the unknown so as to give the children good personalized
education in their growth.(有些人可能在金钱问题上特别严格。另一些人则在晚上回家的时间
或吃饭的时间上很严重。一般来说，父母的要求和社会价值观与孩子自身的幸福同样重要。
因此，父母也需要不断地观察世界，探索未知，才能在孩子的成长过程中给予他们良好的个
性化教育。)”可知，第二段内容认为如果父母对孩子过于严格或过于放任，都可能对孩子产
生不良影响。因此，父母需要在严格和放任之间找到平衡。故选D。
17．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their
children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming
home at night or punctuality for meals. (父母对孩子的严格程度差别很大。有些人可能在金钱问
题上特别严格。另一些人则在晚上回家的时间或吃饭的时间上很严重。)”可知，第二段讲述
的是不同的父母对待孩子的方式不同。故选C。18．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Also, parents should realize that “example is better than
precept(训诫)”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they say, their children may grow
confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize
they have been to some extent fooled.(此外，父母应该意识到“身教胜于训诫”。如果他们不真
诚，不实践他们所说的话，他们的孩子可能会变得困惑，在情感上缺乏安全感，当他们长大
到足以独立思考，并意识到他们在某种程度上被愚弄了。)”可知，父母在道德问题上应该言
行一致，以身作则，给孩子树立一个好榜样。故选A。
