第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,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(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Having given good responses to all questions, Thomas, with a perfect resume, failed his job
interview last week. Christine, the manager responsible for the interview, showed an actual
preference for Thomas but decided to offer the job to her second choice, adding that the fact that
he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy”.
“It was not until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over
was the perfect person.” Christine admitted later. “What I didn’t known at that time was that the
candidate’s odd behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American
raised in a family where respect for those in authority was shown by turning away your eyes. I
was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact, not realizing it was cultural,” Christinesays.
As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces become more diverse, it is increasingly
essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.
Mindsets helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots.
Unexpected advantage
At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can have
no personal biases have an obvious advantage. A real estate agent illustrates the positive influence
of Mindsets—“Coached by Mindsets for two weeks, I acquired how to own a diversified
workforce—I employed people from different cultures and skill sets. When the real estate market
began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real
estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”
Strategic power
“An open mind about diversity not only improves organizations from inside, it is profitable
as well.” Such comment is from a customer service representative, who shows how an inclusive
attitude can improve sales. It wasn’t until her boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to
understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service. One of the best things my
company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. As
a result, our customer base has increased.”
Gender unawareness
Gorden is an account executive who attended one of the workshops. “Through some of the
lessons, I discovered my personal bias.” he recalls. “I had a management position open in my
department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I
would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required
quite a bit of extensive travel. My assumption would have been that even though both candidates
were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have
wanted to be home with her children and not travel. Thanks to the workshop, I have learnt to make
decisions based on fairness.”
21. Christine’s misjudgment about the candidate originated from .
A. racial discrimination B. cultural differences
C. gender prejudice D. physical appearance
22. Which of the following statements will Gorden not agree with about Mindsets’workshops?
A. It helped him make fair decisions.
B. It helped him discover his personal bias about gender.
C. It helped him think more highly of female candidates.
D. It helped him successfully find candidates.
23. According to the passage, what is Mindsets?
A. A cultural exchange program. B. A personnel training company.
C. A realestate agency. D. A non-profitorganization.
B
Several years ago, KenKeegan organized a gathering in Las Vegas, with a group of architects
involved, who were asked what it would take to design a public school which used 50 percent less
energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved students learning. “I think half of them
fell off their chairs,” Keegan says.
Keegan is in charge of the management school facilities for Clark County, Nevada, a district
roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2028, 143,000 additional students will enter the already
crowded public-education system. Keegan needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture
teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes. With the intention of
constructing their schools in 2019, the district will assess how well the schools perform before
allowing the winners to conduct their designs in 50 to 70 newbuildings.
Green schools keep emerging all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness,
such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for
students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest obstacles is getting the
right site orientation,” Mark. Mc, a director at SH Architecture, says. His team recently completed
a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its
orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions
has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,”
Keegan says, “Some of the building technologies that you put forward are impractical. I’m only
interested in those that work.” But he doesn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He
says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of
harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to
study math and science,” he says.
24. What can be inferred from the architects’ reaction in Paragraph1?
A. Half of them lost balance in excitement.
B. Disbelief was obviously seen.
C. Most of them expressed little interest.
D. They burst into cheers.
25. Which order of steps should be followed in carrying out the project?
A. Assessment-Construction-Design.
B. Assessment-Design-Construction.
C. Design-Construction-Assessment.
D. Design-Assessment-Construction.
26. What is the biggest challenge Clark County faces if they are to build green schools?
A. The large size. B. Limited facilities.
C. The desert climate. D. Poor natural resources.
27. In Keegan’s opinion, the ideas of green schools are .
A. questionable B. out of date C. advanced D. practical.
C
Nowadays, many of the world’s largest brewers (a company that produces beer) are using new
technologies to replace the disposable, plastic six-pack beer rings with more sustainable and
recyclable materials.
Though mostly being used in small test trials, full adoption could have a positive
environmental impact, according to some experts. Carlsberg, the Danish brewer, for example, is
using glue to adhere cans in a production method that would avoid using 1,200 tons of plastic yearly,
or the equal of 60 million plastic bags, once fully adopted.
For most consumers, the miserable image of a seagull, turtle, or some other aquatic creature
trapped or killed by the plastic rings really arouses their strong sympathy as well as their reflection
on the plastic pollution issue. That is a part of the reason why brewers have zeroed in on plastic
six-pack-ring packaging. Luckily, children are taught to cut up the rings to lessen the chance that an
animal might choke itself to death.
Developed by E6PR (Edible Six Pack Ring) programme, which is led by another brewery
called Saltwater, the rings made of waste wheat in beer production are now used by 35 brewers
across the globe, including in Africa, Europe, and Australia. The final goal is to ensure that they can
be eaten harmlessly by aquatic creatures or break down in nature within a matter of weeks rather
than the years it will take for plastic.
Giving up plastic straws and beer rings may help consumers feel better about their carbon
footprint, but some experts say we should also focus on other efforts. Recycling rates in the U.S.
stand at just over 34%. Glass, in which many brewers bottle their beer, can be difficult to recycle and
transport. If brewers chose thinner glass, the improvement could prove even more beneficial to the
environment than giving up plastic rings.
However, there can be a risk that consumers may be more likely to litter, if they think the
E6PR rings are less harmful. “The idea of creating something that’s litter-friendly is an issue in my
mind,” says Nina Goodrich, executive director of an environmental nonprofit organization,
GreenBlue. “What we need in North America is a better system to encourage collection and
sorting.”
28. What does the underlined word “adhere” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. attach. B. grasp. C. select. D. stick.
29. We can learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 that .
A. Carlsberg has completely relied on the use of glue to stick cans as a production method.
B. It is the death of sea animals that draws people’s attention to the plastic pollution problem.
C. Children are taught to cut up the plastic rings to prevent the rings harming animals.
D. Brewers have changed their packing materials due to the pressure from consumers.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the E6PR rings?
A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
31. Which statement is true about Nina Goodrich?
A. She wishes to establish a collection and sorting system inAmerica.
B. She doesn’t think the E6PR rings are harmful for aquatic animals.
C. Her team has already produced some litter-friendlymaterials.
D. She is in charge of a charity that works on protecting oceanenvironment.

When we’ve got children, it’s typical of us to give careful thought to how much TV the
children are watching and that they’re exposed to. Are we being overprotective about the effect
reality TV is having on our child? The answer is “No”. Or rather, there’s increasing evidence that
these programmes can have a profound influence on young people.
A recent research indicates that some reality TV shows can be every bit as damaging for
teenage girls as too many cartoons are for kids — perhaps even worse. The truth is that reality TV
is anything but reality — but that’s not necessarily what our children believe. A study for the Girl
Scout Research Institute in the US found that eight out of ten girls aged between 11 and 17 who
regularly watch reality shows believe these programmes describe real life. In fact, much of reality
TV is a heavily manipulated view of what’s really happening, and the worst of it strengthens the
sort of female stereotypes women have spent decades trying to remove.
Many of the women on reality TV shows are acting out lives as teenage mothers or drama
queens. Strong, hard-working, purposeful young women with ambitions beyond their looks are
rare in these programmes. There’s a widespread emphasis on the value of women being about how
they look and dress, which gives young viewers the message that being a woman is all about style
and appearance, not what you do or stand for.
Cultural critic and writer Jennifer Pozner describes reality TV as “the contemporary negative
reaction against feminism”. Imran Siddiquee, Director of Social Media and Outreach, is concerned
that these programmes show the worst stereotypes of womanhood and “normalize” them in what
appear to be everyday settings. “ They offer such a limited view of what it is to be a woman, and
all over the world young girls are addicted to it,” he says.
Siddiquee does recognize, however, that many girls themselves value reality TV. Some say it
encourages them to think about situations different from their own. They also point out that some
shows feature women running their own successful businesses. “It’s important to acknowledge
that there are some useful elements in reality TV,” Siddiquee says. “But many girls need to be
inspired to think more critically about some aspects of these shows so they’re not manipulated by
them and so their behaviour doesn’t change because of them.”
We should encourage our children to be critical thinkers and help them develop their media
literacy. Whether reality TV is changing our children’s views, or whether they are attracted to
programmes that agree with their beliefs, it’s vital we recognize that their viewing habits could
strengthen these unbalanced ideas.
32. This passage is most probably intended for .
A. Teenage girls. B. Parents. C. Media workers. D. General public.
33. What is the problem with a reality TV show?
A. It is too true to life for audience to believe in.
B. Actors and directors lack a sense of innovation.
C. Its contents and views are rather artificial.
D. It has caused controversies among teenagers.
34. According to the Imran Siddquee, what should reality TV showspresent?
A. Genuine accounts of females and their work.
B. Ways to gain more popularity among peers.
C. Distinction between true life and TV dramas.
D. Tips on how to become stylish young girls.
35. What does the text mainly focus on?
A. Situations where teenagers are attracted to certain TVprogrammes.
B. Reality TV shows’ impact on young girls and parent’s guidance.
C. The way to help children to have the habit of critical thinking.
D. The stereotypes of women on TV and audience’sreaction.

Looking around the streets of London, you’ll definitely see many methods people use to
move around. 36 Now there’s a new addition: electric scooters or e•scooters.
This traditional children’s vehicle has become more complicated over the years. And now,
with the addition of a small electric motor, it’s become a cheap and easy mode of transport.
Scooting around town can be fun and doesn’t involve much effort. 37 But considering
accidents involving this electric scooter in the U.K., questions are being asked about their safety
and whether traffic laws should be changed.
Many e•scooter riders in the U.K. broke the law. Some had been seen on pavements, and
others on the road jumped red traffic lights, adding to the frustration of motorists stuck in traffic
jams. In the U.K., the law states that riding one on the public highway or pavement is forbidden.
Despite this, it seems the increasing popularity of e•scooters means they can be seen everywhere.
38
The U.K. government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is
“reviewing” the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that
“Micro-mobility products are appearing in countries across the globe and are an exciting
innovation, for which we know there is demand. 39 ”
40 Despite the fact that some of them can exceed 30 mph, they sometimes only have
one brake and no lights. However confident the rider may be, larger vehicles on the road make
them unprotected. So it seems that more work needs to be done to give e•scooters a safe and legal
space to travel in.
A. The roads are already very crowded.
B. What’s the best means of transport?
C. People seldom see e•scooter accidents in the U.K.
D. However, safety must always be our top priority.
E. And now users are asking that regulations be changed.
F. There’s no doubt that there are dangers of riding a two•wheeled scooter.
G. It’s no wonder that it’s becoming increasingly popular in the world.

Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses 61 (claim) that it is
easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles
Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don’t know
whether to laugh 62 cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the
advertisements would not appear.
Of course it is clear that students 63 go to England to learn English have a great
advantage 64 others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme
and think they can teach 65 (they) at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that
each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good 66
(pronounce) and intonation.
Most teaching is still 67 (base) on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of
making students repeat phrases and 68 (encourage) them to make sentences. If we 69 (be)
parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to
think 70 is a pity that we aren’t, because it would make it easier to use theirmethods.

It is the common phenomenon nowadays there are some persons disobeying traffic rules on
the road. What’s worse, many a person always litter here and there in the streets, that is of our
great concern. I have some specific ideas to share when it comes to handle these problems. I will
observe traffic rules whenever I’m on my way to school. First and foremost, never will I cross a
road until the traffic light turned green. Secondly, I will always use the zebra crossing. Thirdly, I
will never throw rubbish and spit on the road. Equally important, it’s necessary to everyone to
increase awareness of safe travel. As the saying goes, “Many hands make light work.” Therefore,
let’s join hand to obey traffic rules, which will matter a lot.

As a young actor, I first arrived in Los Angeles in 1984. I saw the shining lights of the city
as the plane landed and I felt excited as the first step that would lead me to fortune got
under way. I imagined that the development of my dream would move smoothly, and
soon I would be one of the best-known faces on cinema screen throughout the world. I
was confident in my first performance in 1986. I knew the lead role was perfect for me. I
was anxious to become well-known. But when they offered me a small role, I saw that my
plans for quick success had been ruined. Over the years I tried out for other roles, but I
never got a good part. Sometimes I thought of giving up. Five years later, I found myself
working in the offices of a movie company. And eventually I ended up as a manager of
this company after years of hard work.

which triggers widespread concern about air quality. (2分)
There are mainly two contributory factors behind haze. First, quantities of harmful fumes are
discharged from factories, spreading in the sky and blocking the sunlight. (4分)Second, since
the number of cars in the city has enormously increased, exhaust emission is gradually becoming
another main factor contributing to haze.(4分)
Faced with such a serious situation, we must take effective measures accordingly. For instance,
new laws and regulations must be passed to impose strict controls on industrial pollution. (4
