第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、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
Every drink has a destination that defines it. In turn, these drinks become the local pride and develop their own distinctive personality. As you travel around, you’ll discover how every place has its own style.
Mint Tea – Morocco
Most Moroccan families have an additional fine tea service only for special occasions and visiting guests. Mint tea is simply hot water with dried peppermint, and much sugar. Be warned: sometimes the tea is so sweet it can make your cheeks hurt.
Gahwa – United Arab Emirates
Centuries ago, the shepherds of Arabia noticed their goats became very active after chewing coffee berries, and so made their own energy drink out of it, and thus gahwa — Arabic coffee — and the world’s first coffee culture was born. When you’re in the UAE you’ll notice how important gahwa is for socialising, as it’s served at family gatherings, business meetings and even at parliament.
Tequila – Mexico
Mexico’s hero drink tequila has its roots in adventure, made from the hardy blue agave plant that grows in the red volcanic soils, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. If you find a worm or moth larvae in your bottle, be sure to send it back, as it’s likely not tequila but its low quality, inferior cousin, mezcal.
Rakija – Croatia
In the Balkans the locals begin their meals with a glass of the highly potent rakija, which is confidence if ever we’ve seen it. Produced using primarily honey or mistletoe, rakija is both the national drink and usually homemade. Rakija was traditionally used as a medicinal drink.
21. Where are you likely to travel if you enjoy coffee culture
A. Мorocco. B. The UAE. C. Mexico. D. Croatia.
22. What type of drink does Tequila belong to
A. The sweet one. B. The super social one.
C. The adventurous one. D. The confident one.
23. Which drink has a medical function
A. Mint Tea. B. Gahwa. C. Tequila. D. Rakija.
B
Damon Carson calls himself a matchmaker (媒人) of the never-ending waste of American society, trying not to pair people with people, but things with people.
In the late 1990s, Carson was on break from business school in Vail, Colorado, when he discovered the vast world of waste. He began thinking about creating a secondhand store that would sell old materials and keep them out of being wasted. As a result, in 2010, his company, Repurposed Materials appeared.
For nearly ten years, his company, Repurposed Materials, has not been looking to recycle the waste he gets — breaking it down to make something new — but rather finding new homes for thrown-away goods in their original forms.
Carson, a husband and father of three adult children, is far from wasteful. Frugal is how he describes himself. The clothes he’s wearing all came from a charity shop; his truck was bought with 290, 000 kilometers driven.
“Why break something down, why melt something down, if it still has value ” he asks. An old oil-field pipe might be melted down and turned into a car bumper, but it still takes an amount of power to finish the complete change. Why not leave it as a steel pipe Why not turn it into a fence post on a farm The only cost is transport.
American industrial facilities create and throw about 7.6 billion tons of unwanted industrial materials every year. For the moment, Carson’s unique business finds new lives for millions of kilograms of industrial waste every year.
24. What is paragraph two mainly about
A. Carson’s school lessons. B. Carson’s journey to Colorado.
C. The start of Carson’s business. D. The serious waste of materials.
25. What is Repurposed Materials aimed at
A. Marketing wastes to people in need. B. Breaking down the wasted goods.
C. Manufacturing industrial products. D. Recycling the thrown-away stuffs.
26. How does Carson describe his life
A. Economical. B. Poetic. C. Tough. D. Risky.
27. What can we learn from Carson
A. Well began, half done. B. Innovative thinking counts.
C. One is never too old to learn. D. Hard work will pay back.
C
While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.
28. What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean
A. Boost. B. Change C. Decline. D. Explode.
29. What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two
A. Its population shows a rising trend. B. It has become completely extinct.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
30. What threatened the population of the wood stock
A. Climate change of Earth. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Impact of human activities. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
31. What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act
A. People have safer water to drink. B. A list of species have been saved.
C. The local economy has boomed. D. The wood stock has flown away.
D
Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes down to three factors: the coherence of one’s life, the possession of clear long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters. But we believe there is another element to consider.
Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.
To better understand this appreciation, we conducted a series of studies involving over 3,000 participants. Initially, we had participants rate their coping strategies to relieve their stress. Those managing stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the follow-ups, we asked them to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” and other statements related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the more they felt their existence valuable. In the subsequent experiment, we further explored the phenomenon by asking participants to watch an awe-inspiring video, they also reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life in these moments, compared with those watching more neutral videos.
The final results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are on the go, attempting to maximize our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance every day.
32. What is the author’s belief in meaningful life
A. Owning the coherence of life. B. Setting a long-term career goal.
C. Valuing what matters just to us. D. Enjoying present beauty of life.
33. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The approach to conducting the studies. B. The analysis of the specific objectives.
C. The necessity of a long-term goal in life. D. The logic behind experiential appreciation.
34. What challenges us to feel more meaningful life according to the text
A. Our fast-paced modern lifestyle. B. The lack of employment chances.
C. Our focus on individual feelings. D. The ignorance of future outcomes.
35. What can be the best title of the passage
A. Appreciating the past. B. Living in the moment.
C. Finding yourself back. D. Embracing the future.

When you’re put on the spot, it can feel like a sink-or-swim situation, which can be tense, stressful and pressurizing, especially when you deliver a public speaking. 36
Adjust your use of language
When we feel ourselves to be on a stage, we sometimes use words that are cold, formal, and passive. We do this because we’re anxious and seek to establish authority. Let’s say you’re a doctor, and you’ re standing in front of a group of your peers. You might find yourself making statements like, “It is significant that doctors help solve this problem.” 37 When you say, “We must solve this problem,” you are speaking more simply and persuasively. The word “we” is more easygoing. When you use language like this, you get closer to actually solving the problem simply by directly pointing out that it is all of yours to solve.
Pose more questions
Questions are two-way interactions. 38 No longer are you alone “onstage” in front of your audience — you’re engaging in a dialogue. Even when you’ re making a statement, you can think of it as an answer to an unasked question. That in itself can give the encounter a conversational feel and lower the pressure you might experience. The technique makes the presentations more connected and conversational, allowing you to feel more relaxed. Just ask questions the audience might have and answering them.
Beware of the memorisation trap
39 But memorisation also can come back to haunt us. Giving our communication the feel of a formal, over-rehearsed presentation, it can make us nervous as we struggle to remember a great deal that we’d thought of in advance of the actual conversation. Instead of rushing to memorise, try writing out what you’d like to say and then turning that into a short, bullet-pointed outline. Doing so allows you to think through the material in detail while giving you a brief structure that’s easier to keep in mind. 40
A. You will become more connected with your peers.
B. Writing down what we might want to say can help.
C. You and others around you enter into a back-and-forth.
D. Here are three ways that you can improve your delivery.
E. Conversations are more casual and familiar than performances.
F. Language like this creates distance between yourself and others.
G. Using that structure, you can more confidently fill in the gaps as you go.

Kindness of Strangers
We rely on a community where helping others is highly appreciated. When we need help, it creates a web that ties us together.
Once upon a time, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when my fourteen-year-old daughter, Cassandra, called me from her room. “Mom, can you help me get downstairs ” She had lung disease and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day, so it was impossible for her to move up and down the stairs without help. I turned down the stove and ran upstairs to her room. Cassandra let out a sigh and closed her eyes. “Mom, I wish it wasn’t so hard for me to climb the stairs.”
“I know, honey. We’ll try to solve the problem.”
My daughter’s words reminded me of an incident. A month earlier, a company introduced an electric stairlift (座椅电梯) to us. My daughter could use this stairlift to go up and down stairs by herself without anyone helping her. Hearing the perfect product, our whole family was very excited and looking forward to it. The stairlift sounded wonderful because it would greatly improve my daughter’s life. Unluckily, we couldn’t afford it although John, my husband, even took two jobs to support the family.
To meet Cassandra’s wish, I got round to ask the charity organization in our community for help once again. They had lent us a wheelchair before we bought one. Maybe they could help with a stairlift, too. I held my breath while the phone rang. “Do you have a stairlift I could borrow ” I asked them hopefully. However, they hadn’t, but they promised to call us right away if they got one.

Hanging up the phone, I told this to my family anxiously. One early morning, we heard someone knocking at the door.

Dear Jack,
I’m writing to tell you something about my recent school life. I love my school very much, which is large and beautiful. Overall, my teachers and classmates are helpful and enthusiastic.
Sometimes, I find it a little hard to deal with the tough learning environment. The knowledge we are learning are obviously more difficult than before, especially English. Besides, with endless assignments to do, I almost spare no time to do exercise and other activities. I feel greatly stressed. Anyway, I’ll take every effort to make progress.
I would appreciate it much if you could give me some advice.

Paragraph One: Hanging up the phone, I told this to my family anxiously. Hearing what I said, my daughter could not hide her upset. And then she let out a sigh deeply and squeezed a smile. Looking at my daughter, I patted her head and said, ”Things are going to be fine, honey. The community will help us find a stairlift. All we can do is wait. If they don’t find one, we’ll work hard and save up to buy you one. Hearing this my daughter’s eyes filled with hope again, and said gently “Thank you, Mom.”
Paragraph Two: One early morning, we heard someone knocking at the door. I opened the door and found a couple of community staff standing there, wearing a smile on their face. We greeted each other and the community workers said they had found a stairlift, which was donated by the previous company. Tears glistening in my eyes, I was so grateful to those who gave us a hand when we were in trouble. My daughter was overflowing with happiness after hearing this. At the moment, we realized it’s kindness that makes the world go on, particularly from strangers.
M: Can you pass me the tool box, dear (7) This window is stuck.
W: Here you go. Just be careful, we want to save the windows and try to sell them.
M: Once we put these new thicker windows in, the house should be a lot warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
W: This is the first time we’ve done something to this house since we moved in five years ago. (7)
M: Yes. The windows must be at least 20 years old. It’s good we are finally working on it.

W: Congratulations, Derek. (8) (9) Or should I say, “Congratulations, Mr. Head Teacher”
M: Not yet, Denise. (8) It doesn’t become official until next month. I am excited about the new opportunity, though. I’m also a little scared, to tell you the truth. Obviously, I’m glad I’ll be earning more, but there’s a lot more responsibility. I’m not sure I’m ready for the challenge.
W: Of course you are. You’ll make a really good head teacher. (8) After all, the officials wouldn’t have chosen you if you were not well-qualified. You’ve earned your new position, so relax. I’m proud of you.
M: Thanks, Denise. Actually, I am going to relax for a while. I’m going on holiday to France for a week before I start. (9)

M: I love your hair! It really suits you. (10)
W: Thanks! I decided it was time for a change.
M: I’m so used to you having long, black hair… you look like a different person!
W: I do, don’t I I’m not sure I’ll keep it this way, though. (11)
M: Why not (11)
W: It’s just so expensive. It costs me 100, and hair this short needs cutting every month. (11)
M: Wow! My haircut cost 17, and I thought that was expensive!
W: Ha-ha! When my hair was long, I only cut it every six months.
M: That’s a big difference.
W: Plus, the golden color is difficult to maintain at home, (10) (11) (12) even with my sister’s help. So, I must have it done professionally. (12)
M: So, what will you do
W: I’ll probably grow it out naturally, over the next year or so. And I quite want to color it red then!
M: Well, then nobody could ever say you’ re boring!
Text 9
W: Have you spoken with all the people who saw the accident
M: Almost, Ma’ am. I’m just about to speak to the old couple in number 76, (14) but I’ve taken reports from all the people in the park. Six college students, five kids, and their parents… 14 in total.
W: What about the shopkeeper, who came out to help
M: Jason is speaking to him right now.
W: Okay, good. Any helpful information so far
M: One of the kids… the tall girl, (15) with red hair… she confirms the man is short, and says he wore a yellow jacket and jumped into his car after the fight.
W: That could be useful.
M: Her father took a picture of the car. (15) I’ll check it in the system when I get back to the station.
W: Okay, great. Well, the good news is, I’ve had a call from the hospital, and the person we saved is alive and awake. (16)
M: Oh, good.
W: The bad news is, he can’t remember much, after he was knocked down. (16)
M: Hopefully he can when he has recovered.
W: Fingers crossed. I’m going to check the cameras along the main road.
