第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
My dear friend has invited me to speak at a women’s conference she was holding in Honduras.
The night before I was to leave, I decided a warm bath would help me sleep. I twisted the hot water handle on the tub (浴缸) and waited. I complained, “Let me have some warm water!”It took forever for the hot water to work its way through the pipes to the back of the house. Needles to say, the bath wasn’t relaxing.
The next afternoon, I arrived in Honduras. After the conference, my friend took me to meet some of her family members. They lived in a stick-and-mud house and slept on dirt floors. The women cooked outside on the stove. Still, even in these awful conditions, everyone I met had a smile on his or her face. They were so generous and almost always insisted we stay for coffee.
On our way we passed a pond which was covered with green slime (粘液). One woman pushed the slime back with a stick while the other put the water into a bucket. I prayed, “Please don’t let them offer coffee.”
After we were invited in, a little girl ran inside. She held a mango in each hand. The one in
her left hand was half eaten. This little beauty held out her right hand and offered me the other mango, which I gladly accepted. Her eyes danced. I remember thinking, “She has no idea that she is poor.”
When it was time to leave, we walked outside and I noticed a muddy stream that ran beside their home. My friend said, “That is where they bathe. It is also where the animals drink and they push out waste.”
The evening I returned home I went into my perfect bathroom and twisted the hot water handle. While bathing, I thought of this simple pleasure. Clean water wasn’t my right; it was luck.
21. The underlined sentence showed the author felt a little .
A. annoyed B. shocked C. delighted D. guilty
22. What impression did the author have of Honduras?
A. The rivers have been heavily polluted.
B. The living conditions are natural and pleasant.
C. Offering visitors mangoes is their tradition.
D. People are poor but content with their life.
23. What attitude might the author have towards life after his visit to Honduras?
A. We should live at the moment.
B. We should appreciate what we have.
C. We should be friendly to the environment.
D. We should respect life around us.
B
There are multiple experiences a Westerner can describe as a “culture shock” in China, one of the fastest-growing economies, like eating mouthwatering baozi for breakfast. These experiences, however, paled in comparison to the one I experienced during my time in an organization I’ve been serving in for two years to provide free educational tours at my leisure— the advancement and equalizing of China’s known wealth difference through the social network and cashless payment giant, WeChat, which I rarely used before.
Last month, the organization led a thrilling trip to camp. Initially, we went through a village kept alive by the residents. The views there were so attractive and refreshing. Walking through endless red apple trees, I saw an elderly woman who gently offered to sell me apples.
Unfortunately, I informed her I didn’t have cash on hand. She quickly told me to scan the QR code(二维码) on her phone, which in seconds would get my money into her bank account via WeChat. Needless to say, I was blown away. And of course, the apples were tasty.
As an advocate of financial growth opportunities in under-served communities, it was inspiring to witness that technology lets people contribute to the economy regardless of socioeconomic background in China. Though the socioeconomic problems remain to some extent, access to and adoption of technology, creating financial opportunities, transforms the lives of everyday citizens and enables communities to flower. While I once didn’t believe a “cashless society” was possible and thought it could cause more unfavorable conditions, I now stand corrected.
Perhaps it might take longer for New York City to adapt, as we lag behind in this transformation and there is so much we can learn. I also wonder what the human race can achieve when technology provides endless opportunities for people of all backgrounds to advance.
24. What does the first paragraph tell us about the author?
A. She is struggling with culture shock.
B. She really enjoys Chinese breakfast.
C. She does voluntary work when free.
D. She likes using social networks.
25. Which of the following surprised the author during the trip?
A. Scenery of the village. B. Taste of the apples.
C. Popularity of WeChat. D. The way of paying.
26. What is the author’s attitude to a cashless society?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Concerned. D. Curious.
27. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. New York City has lagged behind China in technology.
B. The socioeconomic problems remain because of technology.
C. Cashless payment benefits people of different backgrounds in China.
D. Access to technology enables communities to produce more flowers.
C
We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to
relax and forget about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces, including gardens, city parks and forests. But did you know that being close to these natural surroundings during childhood could positively influence your mental health as an adult?
A study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) surveyed 3,600 people from all over Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.
The all-adult study gave these volunteers a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood – for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of problem-solving activities, to learn about their mental state within a four-week period. The results showed that the people who were more exposed (暴露的) to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited chance to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of ISGlobal’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle … so we call on policymakers to improve the availability (可得性) of natural spaces for children.”
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So, remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
28. What was the purpose of the ISGlobal’s study?
A. To study the influence of childhood exposure to natural spaces.
B. To understand the mental health problems of children.
C. To see how childhood experiences shape adult life.
D. To examine the advantages of taking a walk.
29. What do we know about the study?
A. The volunteers included both children and adults.
B. The volunteers were from all over the world.
C. It was made up of a questionnaire and a psychological test.
D. It focused on the volunteers’ physical health state.
30. What does the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. understand something B. lose oneself in something
C. protect against something D. imagine doing something
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The benefits of green space B. mental health or physical health
C. outdoor lifestyle D. the value of taking a walk
D
There’s a reason humans have been building homes from wood for 10,000 years. It’s an excellent building material. But since it’s not transparent (透明的), we’re still in the habit of cutting windows in our houses.
But what if wood could be made transparent?
Researchers in Sweden have been trying to do just that. They’ve created a clear wood material they hope could one day be used for more energy-saving building.
“We chemically made wood transparent”, says Celine Montanari, a researcher at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
Montanari and her team took wood and removed its lignin(木质素), and filled the resulting micro holes with a special chemical. Then the wood looked rather like the frosted glass of a shower door. They took the material one step further, mixing it with polyethylene glycol, a material that melts at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. When it melts, it absorbs energy and becomes transparent, then releases energy when cooled. In theory, this means the new wood material could be used to make windows that absorb energy during the hot part of the day and release it into the home when it gets cold at night. It makes the new wood an even more eco-friendly material by keeping indoor temperatures constant.
This is not a new technique, says Mark Swihart, a professor at University at Buffalo. Materials that store and release energy are not new either. “The thing that seems to be new is their way of the energy storage.” Swihart says.
Using wood as a base material is attractive because it has strength that’s hard to reproduce in other materials at the same cost, Swihart says. Whether or not the new transparent wood will be successful will depend in large part on how cheaply it can be made, he says. It’s also difficult to get new material widely used by the building industry, as there are existing supply chains for
things like glass.
Montanari and her team are currently looking at increasing the heat storage capacity(储热性能)of the transparent wood, for greater energy savings. They’re also studying how to increase production to an industrial scale(规模). They hope to have a product ready for market within five years.
32. What are researchers in Sweden trying to do?
A. Construct all-glass buildings.
B. Develop see-through wood.
C. Create new frosted glass for future buildings
D. Figure out the reason people use wood for buildings.
33. How is the fifth paragraph developed?
A. By giving example.
B. By analyzing reasons.
C. By describing processes
D. By making comparisons.
34. What does Swihart say about the invention of Montanari and her team?
A. It costs too much
B. It uses a brand-new technique.
C. It will face uncertainty in the market.
D. It will be widely used in the building industry.
35. What are Montanari and her team doing with their new invention now?
A. Making it cheaper.
B. Improving its performance.
C. Putting it into production.
D. Building a supply chain.

Give yourself a target
Deadlines can be the worst, but when you set a realistic target for yourself it will be rewarding when you reach it. Work out your average reading speed 39. _____If this is too demanding, instead set yourself a target number of books to read in a month or year. Working to a target will keep your reading on track.

Three boys and three girls were going to the beach. When they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches. Suddenly, they noticed Vingo. He sat in front of them, eyes fixed upon a photo, completely in silence.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, a service area, and everybody got on except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they came back, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again.
The next morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies. When they returned, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he began his story. He had been in prison for the past four years, and now he was going home.
“Are you married?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” she said.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife, ” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, she could just forget me. I’d understand. Get a new guy, I said. She’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years. ”
“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”
“Yeah. Well, last week, we were sure the parole(假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there’s a big oak(橡树) tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put yellow handkerchief on the tree and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it—no
handkerchief and I’d go on through. ”
“Wow, ” the girl exclaimed, “Wow, ”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it.

Dear Jim,
How is everything going with you recently? Knowing that you take great interest in Chinese history, I’m writing to tell you about my favorite figure in Chinese history.
Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty, was famous for his book Haiguo Tuzhi (Mps and Records of the World), in which he introduced modern technologies and ideas to China. Not only did it have a great impact on our country as a whole, it also opened our eyes to the world. In fact, it is he that inspires me to major in English in college to serve as a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more? Just let me know. I can even find you some books!
Yours,
Li Hua

Looking at the photo, the young people found a young woman and three children in it. “What
a lovely woman and cute kids.” “Yeah, she is a smart woman who can always make our small house warm and comfortable.” Vingo murmured. With Brunswick approaching, Vingo stopped staring at the photo, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against another disappointment. The young people took over window seats, waiting for the coming of the oak tree. Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. All the people opened their eyes wide, waiting for a miracle. Suddenly, they all jumped up from their seats, screaming except Vingo.
Vingo sat there amazed, staring at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, twenty or thirty of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. The oak tree stood like a banner of welcome, blowing in the wind. All the young people were up out of their seats, shouting, crying, doing small dances or shaking fists in triumph As the young people remained thrilled, Vingo slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly, and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.

M: Hello.
W: Hi. I’ve just been to collect your new basketball shirts from the school.
M: Yeah, what do they look like?
W: I don’t know if you like them as much as last season’s — you had white ones then, remember? And the yellow picture on it made it easy to see you guys on the basketball field, didn’t it? But this year they’re just plain, no picture. Same color, anyway. I can bring them to your house to see what you think.
M: OK.
W: But it’s a bit late to change them now, I guess.

W: Hello, Dan. I was sorry to hear that you had an accident last week. How did it happen
and how are you feeling now?
M: Well, I was riding on my bicycle along the street when a taxi driver suddenly made a sharp turn in front of me. I could not stop my bicycle in time and I was knocked down. Fortunately, I only got a broken arm and a broken leg. The doctor said that I would have to stay in hospital for at least a week.
W: Do your arm and leg hurt now?
M: Yes, my leg hurts badly, but I can bear the pain. The only thing that I’m worried about is my classes. You know, our teacher said next week we would have our mid-term exams.
W: Well, don’t worry about the exams. I can help you. I can lend you my notes.
M: Thank you, but I don’t really want to stay here that long. Anyway, thank you for coming to see me.

M: Did you hear about the plan to build an amusement park at Discovery Bay?
W: No. Tell me about it.
M: Look. It’s all here in the newspaper.
W: Oh, no, this will really destroy the environment. The cars, the crowds, oh, I don’t dare to imagine what will happen in the future.
M: Oh, I don’t know. Sure, there’ll be a bit more pollution and crowds, but tourists will be good for the economy, don’t you think?
W: I guess so, but Discovery Bay is such a quiet and peaceful place right now, and lots of families with small kids live there. I really like it now.
M: Well, the locals should enjoy the new place as much as the tourists. Right now there are no interesting places here.
W: Well, I don’t know. And it says here that they’re going to fill part of the bay. What will happen to the dolphins? They’ll be wiped out, I bet. They’re rare now you know, and they live in the bay.
M: Well, you can’t stop progress.
W: Unfortunately, that’s probably true.

W: Good morning, everyone. Here is the Entertainment Guide for this week. There is another exhibition of posters in Town Hall. Last year it was early holiday posters; but this time the exhibition will be of railway posters. The exhibition opens on Monday. Admission is free, and the exhibition is open from ten until five every day. If you can spend some time there, I’m sure you will enjoy yourself.
There’s a special feature at the Arts Center this week. It’s the very first performance of a new play, The Rose Garden, by a local writer, Alan Brown. This is Alan’s first stage play, but many of you have enjoyed his films on television. The play will be on Saturday. Be sure to book your seats as soon as possible, if you have not done so yet. If you like his films very much, I believe this play won’t let you down.
There is also a film, Detective in the Shadows, being shown this Sunday at the Arts Center cinema. Book the tickets in advance just in case that you can’t get a ticket the very day you come to see the film. The place to go to make reservations is the Tourist Center. It is open from nine thirty until four thirty every day except Sunday and Monday. Also, you can book tickets on the Internet, just go to www.Artcentercinema.com.
