第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）

第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

In September, a charitable activity called "Cat Month" was held in Beijing. It was meant to encourage more people to care for our furry friends, especially homeless cats. Cats become such a big part of pop culture in China that young people have come up with cat-related slang phrases, such as “cat slave” to refer to people who adore their cats, and “a daily dose of cats” to refer to having to watch a certain number of cat videos to get through the day.

People in Japan are also huge fans of cats. As the birthplace of Hello Kitty and the "beckoning cat", Japan made a "cat train" that was ridden around the country by 30 homeless cats in 2017. Passengers could sit and play with the cats on the train, offering the animals plenty of care and warmth.

Istanbul, a historic city in Turkey, is also friendly to cats. In the recent documentary film Kedi, which hit Chinese cinemas in September, director Ceyda Torun showed us the daily lives of seven street cats with vivid narration. Cats there are not afraid of people. They go in and out of almost everywhere- coffee shops, markets, universities, and even government buildings. If you sit on a park bench, a cat is likely to come and snuggle (依偎) with you.

Seeing how cats have become a worldwide addiction, you may wonder why some people prefer cats over dogs. This may be down to how they identify with themselves – modern young people see the independent attitude of cats as something they value more. "Unlike dogs, who look at us with their loving eyes, cats appear to show off their independence. They ask for attention in a way that tells us that they desire human companionship, but they don't need it," author Marie-Louise von Franz wrote in her book The Cat: A Tale of Feminine Redemption.

21.Why does the writer mention “cat slave” and “a daily dose of cats”?

A. to explain the two phrases.

B. to encourage the care for cats.

C. to show the popularity of cats.

D. to attract cat videos viewers.

22. How do the seven homeless cats live in the documentary film Kedi?

A. They settle themselves on a train.

B. They enjoy freedom in the city.

C. They avoid contacting with people.

D. They receive help from charities.

23. Why do some young people worldwide prefer cats over dogs?

A. They seek more companionship from cats.

B. They get inspiration from Marie’s words.

C. They share the same attitude with cats.

D. They adore the lovely manners of the cats.

B

A few years after Valeria Luiselli began writing Lost Children Archive, she broke off to write something more urgent. For months, Luiselli, who was born in Mexico and lives in the United States, had been volunteering as an interpreter for undocumented child migrants(移民) appealing for shelter in the US. It was heartbreaking and hard, and none of those she helped has in the years since, been given permission to stay. Luiselli’s writing paused and in a fever she wrote Tell Me How It Ends, a non-fiction account of the terrible journey of these children. “I couldn’t think or write about anything else. That book was the evidence of what I was seeing.”

What she was seeing was this: Mexican children who had entered the country, unaccompanied, aboard La Bestia – “the beast” – a network of trains on the roofs of which half a million Central Americans ride annually. It is terrifically dangerous. Those who don’t fall on to the tracks risk death from exposure, overhanging branches, or violence from robbers, thieves and police who attack people onboard. But of course, “children do what their stomachs tell them to do. They chase after life, even if that chase might end up killing them.” If and when they finally reach the US, they fall into the hands of immigration officers known to shout: “Speak English! Now you’re in America!”, and a new nightmare begins.

The act of bearing witness would become the driving force behind the novel to which she returned. Lost Children Archive longlisted for the Women’s prize for fiction this week. Valeria Luiselli also found the value of fiction itself. “Sometimes a little light can make you aware of the dark, unknown space that surrounds it”, writes Luiselli in the novel. “And that recognition and tolerating darkness is more valuable than all the factual knowledge that may ever accumulate.”

24. Valeria Luiselli paused his writing Lost Children Archive mainly because______.

A. She had to work full-time as a volunteer to help the poor.

B. She decided to collect some evidence for her new novel.

C. She couldn’t support her family by writing in America.

D. She desired to write about the Mexican child migrants.

25. Which of the following dangers is NOT included during the journey?

A. Falls on the tracks

B. Attack from police

C. Violence from drinkers

D. Death from exposure

26. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Children may have bright future in American.

B. Valeria Luiselli valued the factual knowledge most.

C. Many children might suffer from hunger in Mexico.

D. Valeria Luiselli would finally abandon her writing.

27. Which of the following word can best describe Valeria Luiselli?

A. sympathetic

B. humorous

C. creative

D. optimistic

C

More than two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese, and recent research suggests many are increasingly fine with staying that way.

Researchers studied data from an ongoing, nationally representative survey of Americans’ eating and lifestyle habits, specifically looking at people who responded to a question asking if they had attempted to lose weight during the past 12 months. The percentage of overweight and obese adults who answered "yes" had steadily declined over the past 30 years, the authors found, even as the percentage of overweight and obese adults rose.

The changing trends suggest that, at the very least, Americans’ idea of their own weight has gradually changed in response to rising obesity rates, senior study author Dr. Jian Zhou, an epidemiologist (流行病学家) at Georgia Southern University, told Vocativ in an email. “More and more adults compare themselves with their friends, coworkers, neighbors with heavier body weight, to keep a positive image of their own.” explained Zhou.

For his part, he agrees that focusing on reducing obesity is a fool’s errand for doctors and patients alike. “You cannot stop a train. The problem is hard to fix if it occurs, even identified early,” he said. “The best way, most likely the only way, is to prevent it from happening. Let’s do more to prevent obesity at its beginning, among kids, at home and in school. That is the right-time-right-person-and right-place strategy(策略).”

Dr. Zhou also added that people don’t have to lose weight mindfully; building a healthy lifestyle and having it as a part of routine is the key. And the definition of a healthy lifestyle is very simple—eat less and keep moving.

28. Which of the followings causes fewer attempts to lose weight for Americans?

A. Eating and lifestyle habits

B. More obese people around

C. Mental pressure from work

D. Busy life in cities

29. The underlined phrase “a fool’s errand” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ______?

A. a painful process

B. a tough decision

C. a wasted effort

D. a heavy burden

30. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Eat Less, and Exercise More.

B. Americans Give Up Losing Weight?

C. Harmful Effects of Rising Obesity

D. Suggestions on How to Reduce Obesity

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Students who have used electronic cigarettes by the time they start ninth grade are more likely than others to start smoking tobacco products within the next year, according to a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health. E-cigarettes deliver nicotine to the lungs by heating a liquid solution that contains nicotine and other chemicals to produce an aerosol (喷雾剂)that the users take in.

The study compared tobacco use initiation among 222 students who had used e-cigarettes, but not tobacco products, and 2,308 who had neither used e-cigarettes or tobacco products when initially surveyed at the start of ninth grade. During the first six months after being surveyed, 30.7 percent of those who had used e-cigarettes started using tobacco products, such as cigarettes, and cigars, compared to only 8.1 percent of those who had never used e-cigarettes. Over the following six months leading into the start of 10th grade, 25.2 percent of e-cigarette users had used tobacco products, compared to just 9.3 percent of nonusers.

“While teen tobacco use has fallen in recent years, this study confirms that we should continue to alertly watch for teen smoking patterns,” said NIDA Director Nora D. V olkow, M.D. “Parents and teens should recognize that although e-cigarettes might not have the same effects of regular cigarettes which are likely to cause causer, they do carry a risk of addiction.”

“Recreational e-cigarette use is becoming increasingly popular among teens who have never smoked tobacco. Adolescents who enjoy the experience of taking in nicotine via e-cigarettes could be more appropriate for the experiment with other nicotine products, including smokeable tobacco,” said Adam M. Leventhal, Ph.D., the first author on the study. “While we cannot conclude that e-cigarette use directly leads to smoking, this research raises concerns that recent increases in youth e-cigarette use will eventually contribute to the permanent existence of smoking-related illness."

Text 10:

W: No matter what kind of job you have, you will, at some point, have to write an e-mail. Let’s say that you are applying for a job or need to ask a co-worker for help, or a favor. So, you send an e-mail. You really want to get a reply. Can the words you choose increase your chance of getting a response? Yes, they can. The company Boomerang did a study. They found that several factors affect whether or not you get a reply to your e-mail. Want a response to your e-mail? Follow these tips. First, the subject is what people will see first. Boomerang says that subjects with three to four words are the best for getting a response. Second, the reading level of the language you use in your e-mail’s matters. Boomerang found that a third-grade level works best and gets the most responses. So, use simple words in simple sentences. Third, Boomerang found that the sweet spot for e-mail length is between 50 and 125 words. Experts say the response rate for e-mails of this length is above 60 per cent. But, do not write all 125 words into one long paragraph. Break them up into a couple of short paragraphs. It is much easier to read this way.
