II阅读理解(共两节20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Before he sailed round the world alone, Francis Chichester had already surprised his friends several times. He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931.
The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail.His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August 1966, at the age of nearly 65, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life.
Chichester covered 14100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone. He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his family who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen.
After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends' attempts to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the treacherous Cape Horn.After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London: "I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare. Wild horses could not drag me down to Cape Horn and that sinister Southern Ocean again."
Just before 9 o'clock on Sunday evening 28 May 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him.Queen Elizabeth II knighted(授以爵位) him with the very sword that Queen Elizabeth I had used almost 400 years earlier to knight Sir Francis Drake after he had sailed round the world for the first time.The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28,500 miles. It had taken him nine months, of which the sailing time was 226 days. He had done what he wanted to accomplish.
1. What can we learn about Chichester?
A. He failed the solo transatlantic sailing race in 1959.
B. He was a brave and determined man.
C. The second half of his voyage was not as dangerous as the first half.
D. The radio message expressed his concern about the sailing.
2. What did Queen Elizabeth II do after Chichester arrived back in England?
A. She called on the English to learn form him.
B. She was waiting to congratulate on his success in sailing.
C. She thought poorly of his achievements.
D. She knighted him for praising him.
3. We can infer from the text that ____
A. Anyone who had sailed alone traveled less than 7050miles before 1966
B. Chichester sailed round the Atlantic in 1931
C. Most of the English retire at the age of 65
D. Chichester died of lung cancer in 1967 after he went back to England
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了患有肺癌的奇切斯特完成了独自环球航行的壮举。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan.”可知,奇切斯特得了肺癌,医生和朋友都认为他不适合环球航行,但他仍坚持独自环球航行,由此可知,他是一个勇敢且坚定的人,故B项正确。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Queen Elizabeth II knighted(授以爵位) him”可知,奇切斯特回到英国后,伊丽莎白女王二世她因表扬他而封他为爵士,故D项正确。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Chichester covered 14100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone.”可知,奇切斯特航行了14100英里,最后于1966年12月12日停在了澳大利亚的悉尼,这是以往独自航行距离的两倍多,由此可知,1966年以前,独自航行的人只能航行不到7050英里,故A项正确。
【点睛】推理判断题的难度在于根据文章已知信息进行合乎逻辑的推断,切不可凭借主观臆断。例如本篇第3题,根据第三段中的“Chichester covered 14100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone.”可知,奇切斯特航行了14100英里,最后于1966年12月12日停在了澳大利亚的悉尼,这是以往独自航行距离的两倍多,也就是说,在1966年以前,独自航行的人最多只能航行7050(14100÷2)英里。
B
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
4. What did the writer become aware of?
A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.
B. She had various snacks while watching TV.
C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
5. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear.
B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C. The families get together for it.
D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
6. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _____.
A. neutral (中立的) B. critical (批评的) C. acceptable D. doubtful
7. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.
B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,用中国人喜欢嗑瓜子和丹麦人喜欢吃面包配咸红鱼来证明饮食习惯来自特定的文化。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.”可知,作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯,故D项正确。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds…while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.” 可知,春节的时候桌子上会摆放很多美食, 其中就有瓜子, 小孩在可以在年夜饭前吃, 作者就是在那时学会了嗑瓜子, 由此可知,作者提到春节是为了证明嗑瓜子和春节有关,故B项正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.”可知,作者认为丹麦人吃面包配咸红鱼是一个很好的传统,由此可知,作者接受这种吃法,故C项正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their certain
culture. ”可知,丹麦人认为这样吃面包是美味的, 这和他们的特定的文化有关, 正如作者喜欢嗑瓜子和春节文化有关,由此可知,饮食习惯来自特定的文化,故C项正确。
【点睛】涉及到观点态度的推理判断题难度较大,文章一般不会直接表明作者的态度,需要我们根据措辞的褒贬来揣摩其态度,例如本篇第3题,根据文章最后一句话“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.”可知,作者认为丹麦人吃面包配咸红鱼是一个很好的传统,特别是“wonderful”一词表明作者接受丹麦人这种吃面包的方式,故C项正确。
C
“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those Is and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.
Five of the world’s ten most valuable companies are built on a foundation of tying data to human beings. Google and Facebook want to find out as much as possible about their users’ interests, activities, friends and family. Amazon has a detailed history of consumer behavior. Tencent and Alibaba are the digital wallets for hundreds of millions of Chinese; both know enough about consumers to provide widely used credit scores. Those with a good Zhima credit score, provided by Alibaba, enjoy discounts. Those without receive few offers. In other words, data are used to decide what sort of access people have to services.
That data are valuable is increasingly well-understood by individuals, too, especially because personal information is so often leaked(泄露)or stolen. The list of companies that have suffered some sort of data leak in 2018 alone reads like a roll call of household names: Facebook, Google, British Airways and so on. Such events have caused a switch in the public understanding of data collection. People have started to take notice of all the data they are giving away.
Yet few people have changed their online behavior or exercised what few digital rights they possess. Partly this is because managing your own data is time-consuming and complex. But it is more because of a misunderstanding of what is at risk. “Data” is an abstract concept. Far more solid is the idea of identity. It is only when “data” is understood to mean “people” that individuals will demand responsibility from those who seek to know them.
The fossils of past actions fuel future economic and social outcomes. Privacy rules and data-protection regulations are extremely important in protecting the rights of individuals. But the first step towards ensuring the fairness of the new information age is to understand that it is not data that are valuable. It is you.
8. The example of Zhima credit scores is mentioned to show __________.
A. data help companies target their services
B. credit scores change people’s way of life
C. Alibaba gains popularity among customers
D. people prefer to be offered discounts
9. What has caused a change in the public understanding of data collection?
A. The development of companies. B. The history of consumption.
C. Cases of data leak and theft. D. Lists of household names.
10. People don’t protect their data well mainly because __________.
A. they find it time-consuming and complex
B. they are not fully aware of its importance
C. they have no access to their personal data
D. they are afraid of taking responsibility
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To defend companies’ use of data.
B. To show the economic value of data.
C. To call for more regulations to protect data.
D. To advocate a new way of thinking about data.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。当今世界数据尤为重要。很多网络巨头都在利用数据进行商业活动,数据给人带来利益的同时也造成的麻烦,例如数据被盗事件。因此普通大众也开始关注并注意数据安全。数据说起来是抽象的,但其实就是日常生活中的你我。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二自然段中的“both know enough about consumers to provide widely used credit scores. Those with a good Zhima credit score, provided by Alibaba, enjoy discounts.”(他们对于消费者了如指掌以至于可以从很大范围上对消费者进行信用评分。那些评分高的消费者可以享受打折优惠)可知,公司可以根据一个人的征信对其提供特定的服务。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三自然段中的“The list of companies that have suffered some sort of data leak in 2018 …Such events have caused a switch in the public understanding of data collection.”(一系列公司在2018年发生了数据泄露或被盗事件,这些事件导致了公众对数据态度的转变)可知,是数据丢失或被盗导致人们对数据看法的改变。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四自然段中的“Partly this is because managing your own data is time-consuming and complex. But it is more because of a misunderstanding of what is at risk(其中一部分原因是管理你自己的数据很耗时也很复杂。但更多是因为对究竟什么有危险的误解)和It is only when “data” is understood to mean “people” that individuals will demand responsibility from those who seek to know them.(只有当数据被理解为人类个体时,人们才会从那些想要知道他们的人那里要求责任)可知,人们没有保护好自已数据的主要原因是对数据的理解不够清楚,不知道数据就是个体本身。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those Is and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.(数据就是新的石油,就像那个黏黏的黑黑的东西,所有的1和0在被加工成更有价值的东西之前什么都不是。那个更有价值的东西就是你)可知,作者把数据看作新的石油,提出了一种对数据的全新的看法。故选D项。
D
An old man in a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form. The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints. He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swung open.
At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings, his worn-out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left. The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arm's length to the old man who took it and made sure its contents were undamaged: the goat meat, palm oil, leaves and spices. He ignored the confused expression on the officer’s face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the night before.
No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit.
''Mr. Easy-nwa? '' He stopped and prayed to the God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces, clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right.
''Ezenwa,'' He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips, her name tag said Jessica Harlow, Social Services. ''A bit far from home'' she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to. He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu,a city in Nigeria. He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather, bad drivers, her daughter's school play...
At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived.
''Got here in the end'',said she seriously, ''Really Mr. Easy-nwa, if you keep getting lost, we will have to consider moving you into a home''.
''No need, I was not lost, '' he answered. He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands, relieved the pipes were not frozen.
In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat. The herbs and spices that had taken him three months to track down, the uziza seeds had taken him into the heart of Granby Market in Liverpool, his uchanwu leaves down a shady back alley in Manchester, and yesterday, among other food items, the finest goat meat from a Sierra Leonean Butcher in Birmingham. That had taken some time, so much he missed the last train and when the police found him shivering outside the locked-up station, so cold he couldn't answer loudly enough the pink-faced big copper who yelled in his face, ''What's your name sir? '' spraying his face with spittle (吐沫)as he did so, leaving them with no choice but to search an exhausted, frozen old black man and finding him in possession of mysterious condiments (调味品)including a bag of dried bitter-leaf which could of course be mistaken for anything that resulted in him getting read his rights and charged with ...possession???
He lifted the lid of the bubbling soup, the room was filled with the rich and spicy scent of his culinary (烹饪的)effort. He served two bowls, taking the chipped one and placing the other opposite where Evelyn would have sat. He would tell her about his adventure, it was their anniversary and this was the perfect pepper soup to celebrate.

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个去买调味品,结果却被警察误认为携带毒品而被抓起来的一个深情而执着的黑人的故事。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段的finding him in possession of mysterious condiments (调味品) including a bag of dried bitter-leaf which could of course be mistaken for anything that resulted in him getting read his rights and charged with ...possession??? (发现他拥有神秘的调味品,包括一袋干的bitter-leaf,这些东西当然会被误解成其它任何东西,这些东西会导致他被指控)可推测,警察把老人的调味品当成了毒品。D. He was suspected of possessing drugs. (他被怀疑拥有毒品)符合以上猜测,故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段的''Ezenwa, '' He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips, her name tag said Jessica Harlow, Social Services. ''A bit far from home, ''she said as she drove fast
and with confidence the way Evelyn used to. (''Ezenwa, ''他说着,看着一个有着橘色嘴唇的女人,她的名牌上写着Jessica Harlow社会服务处的。“离家有点远,”她一边说,一边像Evelyn那样信心十足地加快车速)可知,警察局派了一个社会服务人员送Mr. Ezenwa回家。C. a social worker was assigned to drive him back home (一个社会工作者被指派送开车送他回家)符合以上说法,故选C项。

Affectionate and persistent. (深情而执着)符合以上推测,故选B项。
第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Five Ways to End Procrastination
Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today. Waiting until later is one of life's guilty secrets, but procrastination (拖延症) is linked to poorer health, work and relationship outcomes. Here are five ways to try to remedy (纠正) procrastination.
1. A five-minute start
Five minutes is nothing — it's just three hundred seconds. It's the length of a song or a TV commercial. Pick up a project you've been putting off and spare just 300 seconds of your time to do it.___16___ After a while, the momentum (动力) of beginning the task will push you forward.
2. Set goals and rewards
During the day, set goals and rewards. Each time you achieve a goal, you earn the reward: a short break, a funny YouTube video or something else.____17____Make sure you select a time to review your progress and adjust your targets accordingly.
3. Be good to yourself — me today versus me tomorrow
Sometimes, when you find yourself buried in work, you are upset with yourself for not having started earlier. Imagine a conversation, between ―you today and ―you tomorrow. ___18___
4. I was there — witnessing accountability (责任制)
___19___ Consider going on a diet: Is there more pressure if you don't tell a soul, or if you announce it to all your friends, with strict rules to follow if you are invited to dinner? It seems an obvious way of making you feel guilty, but it can also be highly effective.
5. Set creative punishments — negative consequences
Make the consequences of inaction so unbearable that you have no choice but to get busy now. You could write a note to someone that you don't like. Give the note to a friend with strict instructions to mail the note if you do not achieve your goal. The more you dislike the other party, the stronger the motivation to get the task done.
Procrastination is a silent killer of dreams._____20_____By understanding and fixing your procrastination, you'll discover you jump-start many areas of your life.
A. Everyone suffers from it.
B. Once the five minutes is up, stop and reassess.
C. Everyone likes to have a dream of procrastination.
D. Going public with a goal increases your support and accountability.
E. What is the future of my life with the intention of putting off my tasks?
F. If ―you tomorrow could chat with ―you today, what would he say?
G. It's important that the goals are realistic and the rewards are in proportion(按比例).
【答案】16. B 17. G
18. F 19. D
20. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要提供了五种纠正拖延症的方法。
【16题详解】
前文Pick up a project you've been putting off and spare just 300 seconds of your time to do it. (挑选一个你已经推迟的项目,用300秒的时间去完成它)与B. Once the five minutes is up, stop
and reassess. (一旦这5分钟结束,就停下重新评估)承接自然,选项中的five minutes就是前文的300 seconds,故选B项。
【17题详解】
G. It's important that the goals are realistic and the rewards are in proportion(按比例). (目标要现实、奖励按比例是很重要的)符合该段小标题Set goals and rewards(设定目标和奖励)的话题,故选G项。
【18题详解】
前文Imagine a conversation, between ―you today and ―you tomorrow. (在今天的你和明天的你之间想象一个对话)与F. If ―you tomorrow could chat with ―you today, what would he say?
(如果明天的你可以和今天的你对话,他会说什么)承接自然,前后部分都是假设的情景,且conversation和say是关键词,故选F项。
【19题详解】
D. Going public with a goal increases your support and accountability. (带着一个目标去公共场合会增加你的支持和责任)符合该段小标题I was there — witnessing accountability (责任制) (我在那儿,见证责任)的话题,accountability是关键词,故选D项。
【20题详解】
前文Procrastination is a silent killer of dreams. (拖延症是梦想沉默的杀手)与A. Everyone suffers from it. (人人都是受害者)承接自然,选项中的it就是前文的procrastination,故选A项。
【点睛】完成七选五的方法之一是利用关键词法,包括原词,近义词和反义词。以本篇为例:
第1小题答案中的five minutes和前文的300 seconds是关键词
第2小题答案中的goals 和 rewards是关键词
第3小题答案中的say和前文的conversation是关键词

For me, two of the loveliest words in English are “Life persists”.
I ____21____ them years ago as a college student, sitting in the library, ____22____, working on a paper. Out of nowhere, those words came ____23____ off the page in a quote, “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of ____24____ truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”

I told him how glad I was, after a long winter, to finally see spring and ____30____ to find that quote. “Why is that?” he asked. “Well, spring is a sure ____31____ that life persists. And it just makes me____32____. ”
He laughed again, and then ___33___ his lovely voice, he recited for me his____34____“spring time” words, “The desert shall rejoice(高兴) and blossom(开花) like the rose … even with____35____ and singing.”
Many years later, ____36____ my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming cactuses (仙人掌), I could ____37____ hear my granddad laughing, “The desert shall rejoice.”
Life persists, and so do we, in the silence of ____38____ and the blooming of cactuses; and in the dead of ____39____ and the green of spring. Spring ____40____ us that we’re alive forever.
