2019-2020學年浙江省杭州市江干區下沙中學八年級（上）期中英語試卷

第二部分 閱讀理解 （共兩節，滿分30分）第一節（共4小題，每小題6分，滿分30分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中選出最佳選項。

• 1．Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone？If your answer is yes，you're not alone.These days，many people can't live without their phones.They reach for them as soon as they wake up in the morning.They keep checking their apps，such as QQ and WeChat，to get the latest news.
     It may be difficult for these people to give up the bad habit，so Google developed an app called Dashboard to help them.This app helps users manage the time they spend on their phones.
     First，Dashboard allows the users to look at their phone habits.For example，users can see how many times they have unlocked their phones，how many times they have checked their apps，and how much time they spend on each app each day.Once the users see this information，they will be able to make some changes.They can set a time limit （限制） for how long they can use each app every day.After they've hit the limit，they won't be able to use the app until the next day.What's more，Dashboard can help keep the phones silent when users put their phones face down，so they will use the phones less.
     If you truly want to make full use of your free time instead of spending hours using your smart phone，this new app is just a good choice.After all，controlling yourself and having a strong will can help you most.
  
  （1）Dashboard may be helpful to people who

  .
  A．can't use apps like We Chat
  B．know little about smart phones
  C．want to use their phones less
  （2）The underlined word "manage" in Paragraph 2 probably means

  in Chinese.
  A．管理
  B．經營
  C．完成
  （3）What does the third paragraph mainly talk about？

  
  A．What people's phone habits are.
  B．How Dashboard helps people.
  C．Why Google developed Dashboard.
  （4）If people reach the time limit they've set for an app，what will happen？

  
  A．Dashboard will keep the phone silent.
  B．They can't use the app that same day.
  C．Dashboard will set a new time limit.
  （5）In the writer's opinion，whether or not people can use the phone less mainly depends on

  .
  A．Dashboard
  B．their phones
  C．themselves

• 2．We were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break.For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train.We all went to Chicago four years ago，and the kids loved it.Chicago is one of my favorite cities，too，so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago.Of course，flying would have been faster.But I don't think flying is easier，especially these days，with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.
     Though we were tired in the middle of the night，the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. "We're moving，" my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.
     I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night's sleep.The sleeper car would have better enabled that，but the ordinary train seats were not too bad.An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me：not enough room，two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my chin，the hard seatback in front cracking my kneecaps（膝蓋）with every move of the body planted in front of me.On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.
     The journey didn't feel at all as long as it was.We all found the train ride a joy.The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours.But on the train you are free to walk around，sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows，have a nice meal in the dining car，read a book，or play a board game.
     In short，the train is all about enjoying the trip，which isn't something I do so much when travelling by airline or by car，when the trip seems more of a mission （任務） to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.
     Chicago offers much to do for a family.This time，getting there was half the fun.
  
  （1）We can learn from the first paragraph that

  .
  A．the kids love the train journey
  B．it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train
  C．the author didn't enjoy the long train journey
  D．The trip is the first time for the kids to visit Chicago.
  （2）When did the author and the children get on the train？

  
  A．In the morning.
  B．In the afternoon.
  C．In the evening.
  D．At midnight.
  （3）In the third paragraph，an airline flight experience is mentioned to show

  .
  A．a train ride is more comfortable
  B．a train ride is too long
  C．an airline flight is miserable
  D．an airline flight is easier
  （4）Which of the following words best describes the whole family's feeling about the train journey？

  
  A．Moved.
  B．Nervous.
  C．Disappointed.
  D．Delighted.
