第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）

第一节：（共10个小题；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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The other day I was shopping at a local store and came upon a lady from India squatting(蹲下)on the floor looking for a certain product on the bottom shelf.She sprang up when she saw me as if to get out of my way.Apologetically she explained that she was a cashier at a nearby store and was on her lunch break, trying to get a few needed items before her time was up.

I reassured her,“I am in no hurry.Go ahead and do what you need to do.”While she searched for a particular brand,she said that sometimes customers were rude to her at the store and she really appreciated

my kindness.I told her that I had noticed cashiers being treated rudely by some people.

I also explained to her that I was a retired nurse and understood some of what she was saying first hand.Sometimes patients,families,or doctors could be very rude or mean.But I tried to understand why they were feeling that way and let it go.“The world would be a better place if we all acted kindly toward each other.Those who are rude may have bad karma coming after them eventually.”I added.

She nodded and was surprised,“So you know about karma?”My reply was simple.“A little bit.Karma is the same thing as doing something bad and it comes back to bite you on the butt.”She paused,looked puzzled,then broke out in a big smile and covered her mouth with her hand,laughing as she walked away.

It felt so good that in a brief exchange I showed her there were kind people in the world,which might have helped her regain her faith in humanity.

21.How did the lady react when she saw the author in the store?

A.She apologized for her rude manners.

B.She invited her to have lunch together.

C.She stood up trying to make way for her.

D.She kept searching for the needed product.

22.Which of the following best describes the author?

A.Kind and understanding.

B.Courageous and warm-hearted.

C.Responsible and humorous.

D.Sympathetic and open-minded.

23.What is the main message the author wants to convey?

A.Working as a cashier is no easy job.

B.Those who are rude deserve bad karma.

C.Doing acts of kindness will make people feel good.

D.We should treat others the way we want to be treated.

B

At around six months old,Steven chewed off part of his tongue.As he got older,he would bang his head against walls.His parents made him wear a helmet and put his arms and legs in long socks.His younger brother,Chris,had many of the symptoms.A day rarely passed when one of them didn’t bleed.The boys were eventually diagnosed with congenital(先天的)insensitivity to pain.

In the meantime,outside Vancouver,British Columbia,a small company was inching toward a break-through in understanding the brothers’condition.The company,which is now called Xenon Pharmaceuticals,studied rare single-gene disorders in an effort to create drugs to treat more common diseases with similar symptoms.

In2001,it heard about a family in Newfoundland in which four members could not feel pain.Suspecting their illness was genetic,Xenon started hunting for more subjects.Following news reports and word of mouth, the researchers tracked down and studied12families with insensitivity to pain.Xenon found one common characteristic:mutations(突变)in a single gene,SCN9A,and the channel it encodes,Navl.7.

“This single channel,when it is non-functioning in human beings,makes them unable to understand or feel any form of pain,”Robin Sherrington,PHD,then senior director of bio-logical sciences at Xenon,says. If Xenon could develop a drug—“to inhibit(抑制)the Navl.7channel to partly copy that absence of pain,”he explains—it could help to relieve pain without any of the side effects of painkillers.

“I was overwhelmed when we saw both sides of the genetic coin,”Dr.Waxman remembers.“SCN9A really is a master gene for pain.”

24.Why are Steven and Chris mentioned in Paragraph1?

A.To introduce a genetic disease.

B.To show sympathy for their sufferings.

C.To make a comparison between the brothers.

D.To inform parents how to deal with kids’injuries.

25.If a drug prohibits the Navl.7channel from functioning,.

A.genetic diseases will be cured

B.people will be numb to any pain

C.it will arouse negative emotional feelings

D.people will suffer from strong side effects

26.What can we learn from the text?

A.The structure of a gene is like a coin.

B.Painkillers seldom work on genetic diseases.

C.Gene mutations may provide medical inspirations.

D.Great breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of pain.

C

Why can people speaking the same language have such different accents?The short answer:new accents begin to develop when isolated(隔绝的)groups of speakers start making nearly unnoticeable changes to the way they pronounce words.

“Accent development is the first step in language change.Fifteen hundred years ago,languages like English,Dutch and Swedish were actually all dialects of the same language,but of course then they changed over time.”Jonathan Harrington,a linguist(语言学家)in University of Munich,is interested in how accents first get started.But because of global communication,most communities are no longer linguistically isolated,and recording equipment didn’t exist back when more of them were.

So how to capture the early stages of accent formation today?Harrington and his team turned to members of the British Antarctic Survey,who speak with a variety of English accents.“When you are in Antarctica during the winter period,there is no way in and no way out.So they were isolated together and they had to communicate and cooperate with each other.”Harrington’s team recorded the winterers reciting a list of words before they left for Antarctica.Then,while there,the winterers recorded themselves saying the same words four more times.The linguists then analyzed the recordings.

Even during their short time in Antarctica,the way the winterers produced certain vowels(元音)began to converge.For example,at the beginning of the study,some people produced the/u/in“food”at the front of the mouth while others used the back of the mouth.But they began to sound more similar over time.

Harrington says the research isn’t just relevant for understanding Earth’s colonial past.He thinks there’s every reason to expect long isolation will cause astronauts on Mars missions to end up with an out-of-this world accent.

27.What makes it hard to know how accents first started?

A.The lack of recordings in the past.

B.The isolation of most communities.

C.The fast development of new accents.

D.The big number of dialects of the same language.

28.What does the underlined word“converge”in Paragraph4mean?

A.Become simpler.

B.Become similar.

C.Get worse.

D.Get improved.

29.What may happen to astronauts returning from the Mars after a long stay there?

A.They feel much lonelier than ever before.

B.They can’t understand their mother tongue.

C.They speak with accents quite different from the locals’.

D.They don’t have any difficulty adjusting to the life on Earth.

30.Where is text probably from?

A.A guidebook.

B.A news report.

C.A magazine.

D.A history book.

Say Goodbye to Post-holiday Syndrome

You’ve spent countless days waking up late,enjoying watching your favorite TV shows and lying on the beach.31It’s time to go back to work.Here are some tips to make the shift from vacation to work smoother.

Tidy up your work-space first.

Chances are you’ll be greeted by piles of unopened mail,files,and other office items sitting on your desk.

32The longer you wait,the more likely these items will be sitting around your desk later in the week.

33

You may feel the urge to work on three different things at the same time in order to catch up on work. However,this is not the most efficient approach.Instead,you should make a point to focus your mind and to only work on one item or task at a time.

Remove unnecessary distractions.

It’s incredibly important to get serious about cutting out obvious distractions.This way,you can catch up on things efficiently without being bothered every five minutes.34

Make plans to enjoy yourself the first week back.

35Scheduling a lunch date or two with friends can make the week back seem a bit less painful. Treat yourself to your favorite drink at the local caféduring your cof fee break.

It may take several days for you to finally get readjusted and that’s perfectly fine.Stay calm,focused and relaxed.You’ll be back to your old routine at work before you know it.

A.Do one thing at a time.

B.Make a list of tasks based on their importance.

C.Then you suddenly come to an uncomfortable realization.

D.So it’s a good idea to attend to these items as soon as you can.

E.You’re back at work,but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself.

F.Rather than ignoring these items,take a few minutes to process them.

G.Switch off your cell phone,and close out of any social media accounts.

In1968,I was a student at the Levon&Sophia Hagopian Armenian High School in Beirut.When the time came to register for tenth grade,I went to the principal’s office and told the staff my parents could not pay the tuition(学费).Although I was the top student in my class,I was sent home.This was a heartbreaking experience,as I loved being in school and desperately wanted to continue my education.

I went home and spent the day helping my father at his tire-repair shop.He could barely earn enough to pay the tuition of my two brothers.

A very old man saw me in the shop and wondered why I was not in school.I told him I was sent home because of lack of funding.He offered to help by calling the principal of another school to ask him to register me tuition-free.Even though the school was far away from my home,I could not pass up the opportunity to continue my education.

I took a city bus to downtown Beirut and went to the principal’s office.Embarrassed to tell him that I was supposed to get free tuition,I told the principal that arrangements had been made for me to study at a discounted tuition.I was shocked when the principal screamed at me that there was no such thing as a discounted tuition.I immediately turned around and rushed back to my father’s tire shop.It was at that moment that my hope was totally ruined.

However,things took an unexpected turn three days later.One of my classmates from Sophia came over.Our principal had sent her to tell me that I should come back to school.When I arrived,I told the registrar(教务主任)that I could not pay the tuition.She informed me that my tuition was fully paid and that I should join my classmates.I asked who had paid it so I could thank that wonderful individual.But I was told that the benefactor wanted to remain anonymous(匿名)and keep it a secret.

There is a lot of documentation of Vesuvius’past.Geologists have gathered this evidence of earlier eruptions by studying the rocks that were formed.Before1944,the most catastrophic eruption occurred in 79A.D.Many smaller eruptions have occurred since then,including the one in1944.Volcanologists believe that another major eruption could occur at any time.To watch for geological changes within Vesuvius,we have set up seismographs(地震仪)to measure the slightest shifts in the rock beneath the mountain.During one dangerous but exciting mission,I climbed down into the crater.My crew and I worked on mapping what was going on underground.We also measured the gases leaking from small vents (通风口).Any sudden increase in carbon dioxide and other gases might signal an eruption.

I don’t go into the crater anymore,but I often think about how Vesuvius threatens the environment around it.Today,the city of Naples lies at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.If an eruption occurred tomorrow, the city would not be ready.The only sure way to protect people who live near this volcano is to give them

enough warning.The city of Naples has detailed evacuation(撤离)plans.For the plans to work,however, officials need to be warned seven days before an eruption occurs.I hope the work that volcanologists do will help to give people the warning they need.Until then,I’ll be watching this sleeping monster just in case it starts to wake.

It’s party season and many of us will be dancing,eating and drinking too much.After a night of singing to catchy tunes from the charts,many of us will wake up with the music playing over and over in our heads.

31A survey in Britain suggests that the Spice Girls’debut hit,Wannabe,is the catchiest UK hit single.The data from more than12,000participants was collected via an online interactive game called Hooked on Music.32Participants were able to recognize the song Wannabe in2.3seconds.The average for other popular hits was five seconds.This particular song spent seven weeks at number one in 1996.Since then,it’s found its way into people’s memories.

The Hooked on Music idea came from Ashley Burgoyne from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.He said,“You may only hear something a couple of times yet10years later you immediately realize that you’ve heard it before.33”

And what’s the secret of a catchy tune?34Dr.Burgoyne and his team want to identify whether the most memorable pieces of music shared particular characteristics.It’ll allow them to understand how the musical memory works and help research on dementia(痴呆).He said,“There’s already been some research that shows that if you can find the right piece of music,something that had a very strong meaning, playing that piece of music can be very therapeutic(治疗的).35”

The other most recognizable tunes in Dr.Burgoyne’s study are Lou Bega’s Mambo No5,Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger,Lady Gaga’s Just Dance and ABBA’s SOS.

A.Is it the lyrics or the chorus(副歌)?

B.Some songs will never go away.

C.Why don’t you like a certain piece of music?

D.It’s such a popular game that many people love to play it.

E.The challenge is figuring out what the best piece of music is.

F.Yet other songs,even if you’ve heard them a lot,do not have this effect.

G.It is part of a wider experiment with the aim of finding out what makes music memorable.

With the development of our society,cellphones have become a common part in our lives.Have you ever run into a careless cellphone user on the street?Maybe they were busy talking,texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what looking at what was going on around them.As the number of this new“species”of humans keeps rising,they have been given a new name-phubbers.

Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight.In the short film,phubbers with various social identities(身份)bury themselves in their phones.A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die,a pretty woman takes a selfie(自拍)in front of a car accident site,and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone.Achain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic,the damage phubbing can bring is real.Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it.“Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,”Guangming Daily quoted doctors’words.“The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.”Also,staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all.Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family.When getting together with family or friends,many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere,Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost your life.There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death,suffered accidents,and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
