a couple是先行词，这对夫妻的孩子很吵，children和couple 是所属关系，故用whose作定语，相当于the children of whom，故选A。

【名师点睛】定语从句的关系词分为关系代词（who, whom, whose, that, which, as等）和关系副词（when, where, why等）。

1. 关系代词所代替的先行词是表示人或物的名词或代词，并在从句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。

ADry ice is CO2 in solid form, with a temperature of about -78.5℃.Unlike c ommon ice, dry ice doesn't melt into a liquid . When dry ice melts, it turns into a gas. So when you see dry ice "smoking", it's frozen CO2 melting into its gaseous state. Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments. It creates projects that look cool.Experiment: Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）This dry ice experiment will catch people's eye, especially little kids' because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.MaterialsOne large block of dry iceA large spoonPopsicle sticksOne cup of your favorite juiceA tall glass filled with waterDirectionsUse the large spoon to make a popsicle-shaped space in a block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a piece of cloth on your table to do this work. Of course, keep in mind that it's okay if it's not exactly popsicle-shaped.Add a popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the popsicle stick.Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden. After several minutes, take away the popsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds. Do this to warm up the popsicle just a bit. Otherwise, it will be too cold.21.According to the text, what's the main difference between dry ice and common ice?A. Their forms.B. Their shapes.C. Their temperatures.D. Their states when they melt.22. What's the first step to do the experiment?A. To fill the tall glass with juice.B. To pour the juice into the space.C. To make space in the dry ice for juice.D. To put a stick to the middle of the dry ice.23. How does the dry ice work in the experiment?A. It gives out "smoke".B. It is mixed in the juice.C. It makes the juice freeze.D. It makes the popsicle look cool.BSome of Australian cyclists have used "GPS art" to turn a 202 km (125- mile) ride into the outline of a goat, which interests many people greatly.The four men marked their route on an app before using it track their journey around Perth. When uploaded to the computer, it was shown as a picture. Cyclist Ben Jones said the group settled on a goat because it was an easy animal to draw. He said the ride lasted more than six hours, with the four men stopping only for food, and flat tyres . "Except for riding 202km, it's relatively simple," Mr. Jones told the BBC. "You mainly mark your route on the app and it plans directions out."GPS art has also been widely used by runners and other cyclists when they travel out. Mr. Jones said his group wanted to shake up their normal weekend ride. "We all ride l0,000km to 15,000km a year," he said. "Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time － that's what this was about."The group received much attention after posting their map to social media this week. Others described Mr. Jones as a goat guy in an interview on Australiantelevision. For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the koala. "Certainly, there'll be something coming, for we are making our decisions to put more and more plans into practice. I'm sure of that," Mr. Jones said.24. What holds many people's attention greatly?A. The cyclists' shaping the route into the outline of a goat.B. The cyclists' having the GPS to travel with.C. The cyclists' having traveled 125 miles.D. The cyclists' riding more than 6 hours.25. What did the four men do during their six-hour ride?A. They had their bikes repaired.B. They got something to eat.C. They stopped to have a rest.D. They planned new directions.26. How would Mr. Jones feel about their ride?A. It was tiring.B. It was enjoyable.C. It was moving.D. It was amazing.27. What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Mr. Jones becoming a goat guy.B. People paying attention to the map.C. The group drawing the animal koala.D. The group performing their ride plans.CHave you ever been given something you don’t like or doesn’t fit, but you don’t want to hurt th e feelings of the person who thinks about you? You’re not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesn’t mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesn’t work for you.If you find yourself with something nice but that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent.There are specific things you should do to an item. Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You never have to lie about what you are doing, butyou don’t want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesn’t appear used; check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because that’s the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.28. Why does the author begin the passage with a question?A. To share a hot phenomenon.B. To introduce the following part.C. To ask for readers’ answers.D. To point out a common opinion.29. What most contributes to the growing regifting?A. People’s lack of money.B. People’s dislike of the gifts.C. People’s reduced desire for gifts.D. People’s understanding of its manners.30. What’s mainly t alked about in Paragraph 3?A. What to do before regifting.B. How to make use of unwanted gifts.C. What kind of gifts to be regifted.D. Why regifting can cause embarrassment.31. What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?A. Suitable but valueless.B. Expensive and useful.C. Packaged and invaluable.D. Nice but unsuitable.DThe idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play has an important part in keeping you healthy.Use "the best medicine" to treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closelytied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a youngchild and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smilingis the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is.You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old peopleto make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is importantfor the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still inthe early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, interesting and happier.32. What does the underlined word "infectious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Playing an important role.B. Keeping people in high spirits.C. Quickly influencing other people.D. Preventing illness from spreading.33. What can laughter increase according to the author?A. Cognitive ability.B. Good relationships.C. A sense of humor.D. Happiness and trust.34. What does the author think the old should do?A. They should have a good rest.B. They should play like children.C. They should prevent cognitive falling.D. They should take part in physical play.35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Humor, Laughter and Play for HealthB. Always Keep Our Body HealthyC. Have an Active and Happy LifeD. Let Our Body and Mind Relax第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019届高三年级英语期中考试卷及答案(附答题卡）本试卷分第I卷和第II卷两部分第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共2节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。

AWill it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.21. During the test, those who were tested were given .A. no breakfast at allB. different breakfasts or noneC. little food for breakfastD. very rich breakfast22. The results of the test show that .A. breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a person’s workC. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD. those working with brains should have much for breakfast23. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.D. Reducing breakfast is of great value in weight losing.B。

He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your be st. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment （分工）, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that t he paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be m ore valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists- everyone- is to work harder to make sure they get the hel p they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.25. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.26. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?A. Finding the news value of his stories.B. Giving him financial support.C. Helping him to find issues.D. Improving his good ideas.27. Who probably wrote the letter?A. An editor.B. An artist.C. A rep orter.D. A reader.28. The letter aims to remind editors that they should ________.A. keep their best reporters at all costsB. give more freedom to their reportersC. be aware of their reporters’ professional developmentD. appreciate their reporters’ working style s and attitudesCPacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pa cing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental （巧合）that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation technique s, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often th e basis for dangerous stereotyping （思维定式）. And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in – and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.That’s why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause –can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological proble ms – even in the mind of the woman he rself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.29. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talkat ive.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn.D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.30. According to the pa ssage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans.B. Israelis.C. The British.D. The Finns.31. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pa cingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC. one’s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up one’s confidence32. The underlined word “assertiveness”in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. being willing to speak one’s mindB. being able to increase one’s powerC. being ready to make one’s own judgmentD. being quick to express one’s ideas confidentlyDWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.”It is probably no t your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleaguecauses you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should aecept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and apportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.”Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.33. According to the passage, winners _________.A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. m eet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather that others34.
