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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
It was May 23, 2016. Arnot, the 32-year-old mountain guide, reached the top of Everest without the use of oxygen (O2) equipment. It was achieved after seven years, three previous attempts, and fourteen straight hours of climbing.
After 15 minutes at the top, Arnot began her descent (下坡). Eight hours later, she reached the camp at 7, 600 meters and became the first American woman—and only the seventh woman ever—to successfully reach Mount Everest without oxygen equipment.
Arnot didn’t start climbing until she was 19 years old. Money was tight in her family, and climbing mountains never occurred in her mind. After graduating from college, Arnot was invited by her friend to climb a mountain. “It totally changed my life”, says Arnot. “I always know that if you want something, you can achieve it, but knowing what you want is a whole different thing,” she says. “I am athletic but not competitive. After my first climbing, I knew immediately that mountains are what I want—as that is where I felt home for the first time in my life.”
After that first climb, she devoted herself to learning how to climb and move through mountain. It was during her second trip to Everest in 2009 that she first set her sights on a no-oxygen attempt. However, while hiking into Everest Base Camp that year, she hurt her leg and wasn’t able to climb without oxygen. In 2013 she nearly made it to the top, but was forced to take oxygen at 8,504 meters while helping another climber.
31. On May 23, 2016. Arnot ________.
A. spent 8 straight hours climbing B. stayed at the top for 50 minutes
C. made her first attempt to climb Everest D. reached the top without oxygen equipment
32. Arnot fell in love with climbing because _________.
A. money was no longer a problem to her
B. mountains gave her the feeling of comfort
C. she tried to be more athletic and competitive
D. she wanted to build up her body through climbing
33. What do we know about Arnot’s climbing experience?
A. She took up climbing when she was 19 years old.
B. She has always been a good climber since her childhood.
C. She climbed Everest with her family during her first trip.
D. She hurt her leg badly while helping another climber in 2009.
34. Which of the following can best describe Arnot?
A. Determined and brave. B. Cautious and honest.
C. Caring and open-minded. D. Confident and creative.
B
If you’re a cycling lover, you will have to pay a lot of attention to your bicycle and maintain it well, for bicycle parts are exposed to wear and tear (磨损) over time and you have to examine the bicycle to see if there are any signs of wearing such as scratches, dents (凹陷) etc. Sometimes, a part may not work because it has exceeded its life expectancy. Sometimes, you will need to find replacement parts for it to keep up the performance of the bicycle.
Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic understanding about the role played by each part. One of the most important parts of the bicycle is the frame. You will need to choose a frame that lasts for a very long time. Of course, you will see some paint scratches after some time. When you’re selecting a frame, you have to think about the material. Aluminium (铝) frames will not rust easily, but they have a higher chance to dent. Steel frames will be hard to dent, but you will need to make sure they get a good paint job so that they won’t rust.
Other parts that you can buy used are seats, handlebars and the stem. When you are buying handlebars, you have to see if there are any dents or if they have been bent out of shape. There shouldn’t be any cracks in the seat post or the handlebars. There are many shops where you can buy parts, so you will have to check the references to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything.
35. According to the passage, cycling lovers should ________.
A. buy a new bicycle to keep up the performance
B. replace the bicycle parts with signs of wearing
C. choose Aluminum frames rather than steel ones
D. learn how each part of the bicycle basically works
36. Which parts may be replaced by the used ones?
A. Wheels and chains. B. Tyres and seats.
C. Handlebars and stems. D. Frames and pedals.
37. The underlined word “references” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A. materials B. prices C. introductions D. comments
38. This passage is most likely to be found in ________.
A. a research report B. a popular magazine
C. a tourist guide book D. a product advertisement
C

As the American population ages, the demand for services and care for older adults is growing, which accounts for the reason why SenCura is very popular. It’s a company that provides non-medical at-home care for seniors in the northern Virginia area.
But when Hollie, one of SenCura’s professional caregivers, is not around, Robertson still has a caregiver, a robot named Rudy. “You can have a conversation with him. And (he’s) somebody to talk to and who responds.” Rudy also tells jokes and plays games and dances with Robertson. In addition to keeping Robertson mentally and physically active, Rudy provides contact with emergency services 24 hours a day automatically when Robertson is in danger. He watches for lost items, reminds Robertson about her doctor’s appointments and tells her when it is time to take her medicine.
Anthony Nunez is the founder of INF Robotics, the company that created Rudy. He says, “As I grew older, I realized we weren’t the only family facing this problem. There are thousands of families facing the same issue --- most cases even worse, where they have a beloved one that they’re taking care of and the cost becomes an issue. So what we wanted to do was design a robot that’s easy to use, designed specifically for seniors, but also affordable."
SenCura’s Cliff Glier says the robot Rudy adds to what in-home caregivers do for the growing population of seniors who prefer to age at home---with a little help from friends. But Rudy is not a competitor of human caregivers. He says the robot Rudy is there to help but cannot do all the things that caregivers do, like bathing and dressing seniors.
42. Why is SenCura warmly welcomed by the seniors?
A.It improves new technologies. B. It can meet their demands.
B.It can offer them whatever they want. D. It helps them look after their children.
43. Which of the following can Rudy do?
A. Make an appointment. B. Give lessons on dancing.
C. Take emergency action. D. Serve as a doctor.
44. What does Anthony Nunez intend to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. The price of Rudy is reasonable. B. The working principle of the robot.
C. The powerful functions of Rudy. D. The original intention of designing Rudy.
45. What can we infer about Rudy after reading the whole passage?
A. Rudy is not perfect in some respects. B. Rudy can take the place of humans.
C. Rudy helps bring a great profit to the company. D. Rudy robs caregivers of their jobs.

Honorable staff and dear students,
I believe in a harmonious and peaceful school environment where everybody treats each other with love and respect. A harmonious campus, in my opinion, should embody the following qualities: trust, equality, and respect. In order to build trust, I suggest that we face each other with honesty, telling each other exactly how we feel about everything. In terms of equality, we should all realize that every human being is equal and there should be no bullying or discrimination. Most importantly, we should always keep respect in mind when interacting with each other. Respect our teachers because they work very hard for all of us; respect our classmates because together we make up an amazing community; respect our school because this is where we live and study every day. Please join me and make an effort to build a harmonious campus for everybody.
Thank you.
