第二部分 阅读 (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)
A
Brighton is one of the most untraditional cities in the UK. Here are four of the best things to do in Brighton.
Go to one of the city's old-styled bars (酒吧)
Whatever you’re in Brighton for, checking out the old-styled bars is a must-do while you’re there. The place to start is the Twisted Lemon's cocktail hour. Though the bar itself is small, the menu is not, with pages and pages of award-winning cocktails. It is a great place for conversation over some drinks.
Find a bargain in the North Laine
The best of the North Laine is Snoopers Paradise. It is a flea (跳蚤) market with over90 unique sellers, selling everything from shoes to beautiful Tiffany lamps. It's almost impossible to walk out without buying something or without having spent an hour in there.
Explore Kemptown
If you're looking to experience the “bohemian” style Brighton is famous for, Kemptown is the place. Kemptown Bookshop is a great place to find any new book you need in a quiet, friendly shop. At night the area is livelier though, with a lot of famous bars. You can head to the Hobgoblin for a lively feeling.
Visit the Sea Lanes
The Sea Lanes are a newly rebuilt area, with a six-lane (泳道) swimming pool by the sea. The idea of the pool is to allow people to swim at all times of the year, as, sometimes, weather conditions can mean the sea is too unsafe to swim in. After you finish, there is a bar you can relax in.
1. What is special about Twisted Lemon?
A. It offers good cocktails. B. It has a small menu.
C. It has won awards. D. It holds talk shows.
2. Where can a visitor buy a second-hand book?
A. Twisted Lemon. B. Snoopers Paradise.
C. Kemptown Bookshop. D. Sea Lanes.
3. What do Kemptown and the Sea Lanes have in common?
A. They are crowded and noisy. B. They are designed for kids.
C. They have places for drinking. D. They provide a year-round pool.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在布莱顿最值得做的四件事。

Linda Richards was the first graduate of an American nursing school. After receiving her degree in 1873, she went to work at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. Katherine Kelly told us an interesting story about her.
As night superintendent (主管) at the Bellevue Training School for Nurses, Linda Richards had to ask the day nurses for reports on the condition of her one hundred patients. “You are so full of questions! ” cried a day nurse with anger. “I could fill a penny notebook trying to answer them all!”
Linda was full of questions. She’d graduated a year before, and there was still so much she didn’t know. That night she thought of what the day nurse had said. Penny notebooks! Well, why not?
At her first chance, she tied notebooks to the beds of her most badly ill patients. She asked the day nurses to keep a written record of each patient’s condition, and she would do the same at night.
One evening Linda stopped at the bed of a sailor. After watching her write in the notebook, he asked jokingly if she was trying to chart (制表) his course.
Why, that’s exactly what I'm trying to do, she thought. And so began the practice of keeping a patient’s chart, now used in hospitals and doctors’ offices all over the world. Linda Richards went on to become a leading person in the field of nurses’ training. She served as the first president of the American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools in 1894, which was the first professional organization (专业组织) for nurses. She took an active part in nursing organizations and can be regarded as one of the movers and shakers of the young job. She spent her life proving that “a trained nurse is better than an untrained one.” The American Nurses’ Association honored Linda Richard’s achievement by putting her picture on its seal (印章), with the words “Service, Humanity, Efficiency around.”
4. What did Katherine want to tell us about Linda?
A. How she completed her education. B. How she took care of her patients.
C. How she got on with other nurses, D. How she invented patient’s chart.
5. How did Linda deal with the annoyed day nurse?
A. She had words with her. B. She bought her a notebook.
C. She got a new idea from her. D. She took no notice of her anger.
6. Which of the following best describes Linda Richard?
A Creative and influential. B. Positive and independent.
C. Confident and outgoing. D. Energetic and strong willed.
7. What’s the suitable title of the text?
A. A curious mind in learning B. A pioneer in nursing training
C. The value of penny notebook D. The success of a nursing organization
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B

C
An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3,080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That’s like having 634 cans of soda and 1,200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers (偷猎者) kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (栅栏) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa’s elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (项圈) with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they’ve agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows,” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.
8. What can we learn about the elephants from paragraph 1?
A. They show an interest in hamburgers.
B. They move south to survive the cold.
C. They migrate for different reasons.
D. Females live shorter for food shortage.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Results of poaching. B. Reasons for killing elephants.
C. Difficulties in migrating. D. Efforts to protect migration paths.
10. Why are collars applied by scientists?
A. To discover the secret of migration.
B. To track elephants with technology.
C. To identify the population of elephants.
D. To explore a new route for migration.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Say No to Ivory B. A Journey in Africa
C. Ready for the Move D. Technology in Migration
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大象在迁徙过程中遇到很多困难,威胁其生存,多方合作利用GPS追踪规划保护通道,并携手当地社区,共同保护大象迁徙路线以助其生存。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle.(雌性大象与其幼仔群体生活,它们的食物资源会迅速耗尽。因此,当食物短缺时,它们便会踏上寻找食物的旅程。雄性大象则独自生活,它们不像雌性那样快速消耗资源。相反,雄性大象会在繁殖周期时进行迁徙)”可知,大象迁徙的原因各不相同。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.(在迁徙过程中,大象面临着缺水和极高的温度。但人是他们的首要问题。偷猎者每年杀死35000头大象来获取象牙。许多非洲农民修建围栏以保护农作物和牲畜,这可能会阻碍正常的迁徙路线。交通道路也会影响大象的迁徙。在一项对中非28头大象的研究中,只有一头雌性大象穿过了一条没有保护的道路)”可知,这一段主要是关于大象迁徙过程中遇到的困难。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. (Michael Chase博士说:“为了解开大象在哪里移动以及如何移动的秘密,我们在项圈里放置了带有卫星的装置”)”可知,科学家使用项圈是为了用技术追踪大象。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Elephants usually migrate between March and May.(大象通常在三月到五月之间迁徙)”和最后一段“Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.(保护大象迁徙路线使这些温和的巨人得以生存)”可知,文章主要介绍了大象在迁徙过程中遇到很多困难,威胁其生存,多方合作利用GPS追踪规划保护通道,并携手当地社区,共同保护大象迁徙路线以助其生存,故C项“为迁徙做好准备”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。
D
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. (去年,Optima Academy Online,一所全虚拟的学校,提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同,吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知,Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问,未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用,但唯一的问题是:出于什么目的,以什么速度?有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里,不与其他孩子进行身体社交,这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知,本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善,可能会产生相反的效果,将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥,贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业,而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知,墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示,如果使用得当,技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源,并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知,Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习,使教育多元化。故选A项。

A
Brighton is one of the most untraditional cities in the UK. Here are four of the best things to do in Brighton.
Go to one of the city's old-styled bars (酒吧)
Whatever you’re in Brighton for, checking out the old-styled bars is a must-do while you’re there. The place to start is the Twisted Lemon's cocktail hour. Though the bar itself is small, the menu is not, with pages and pages of award-winning cocktails. It is a great place for conversation over some drinks.
Find a bargain in the North Laine
The best of the North Laine is Snoopers Paradise. It is a flea (跳蚤) market with over90 unique sellers, selling everything from shoes to beautiful Tiffany lamps. It's almost impossible to walk out without buying something or without having spent an hour in there.
Explore Kemptown
If you're looking to experience the “bohemian” style Brighton is famous for, Kemptown is the place. Kemptown Bookshop is a great place to find any new book you need in a quiet, friendly shop. At night the area is livelier though, with a lot of famous bars. You can head to the Hobgoblin for a lively feeling.
Visit the Sea Lanes
The Sea Lanes are a newly rebuilt area, with a six-lane (泳道) swimming pool by the sea. The idea of the pool is to allow people to swim at all times of the year, as, sometimes, weather conditions can mean the sea is too unsafe to swim in. After you finish, there is a bar you can relax in.
1. What is special about Twisted Lemon?
A. It offers good cocktails. B. It has a small menu.
C. It has won awards. D. It holds talk shows.
2. Where can a visitor buy a second-hand book?
A. Twisted Lemon. B. Snoopers Paradise.
C. Kemptown Bookshop. D. Sea Lanes.
3. What do Kemptown and the Sea Lanes have in common?
A. They are crowded and noisy. B. They are designed for kids.
C. They have places for drinking. D. They provide a year-round pool.
B
Linda Richards was the first graduate of an American nursing school. After receiving her degree in 1873, she went to work at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. Katherine Kelly told us an interesting story about her.
As night superintendent (主管) at the Bellevue Training School for Nurses, Linda Richards had to ask the day nurses for reports on the condition of her one hundred patients. “You are so full of questions! ” cried a day nurse with anger. “I could fill a penny notebook trying to answer them all!”
Linda was full of questions. She’d graduated a year before, and there was still so much she didn’t know. That night she thought of what the day nurse had said. Penny notebooks! Well, why not?
At her first chance, she tied notebooks to the beds of her most badly ill patients. She asked the day nurses to keep a written record of each patient’s condition, and she would do the same at night.
One evening Linda stopped at the bed of a sailor. After watching her write in the notebook, he asked jokingly if she was trying to chart (制表) his course.
Why, that’s exactly what I'm trying to do, she thought. And so began the practice of keeping a patient’s chart, now used in hospitals and doctors’ offices all over the world. Linda Richards went on to become a leading person in the field of nurses’ training. She served as the first president of the American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools in 1894, which was the first professional organization (专业组织) for nurses. She took an active part in nursing organizations and can be regarded as one of the movers and shakers of the young job. She spent her life proving that “a trained nurse is better than an untrained one.” The American Nurses’ Association honored Linda Richard’s achievement by putting her picture on its seal (印章), with the words “Service, Humanity, Efficiency around.”
4. What did Katherine want to tell us about Linda?
A. How she completed her education. B. How she took care of her patients.
C. How she got on with other nurses, D. How she invented patient’s chart.
5. How did Linda deal with the annoyed day nurse?
A. She had words with her. B. She bought her a notebook.
C. She got a new idea from her. D. She took no notice of her anger.
6. Which of the following best describes Linda Richard?
A. Creative and influential. B. Positive and independent.
C. Confident and outgoing. D. Energetic and strong willed.
7. What’s the suitable title of the text?
A. A curious mind in learning B. A pioneer in nursing training
C. The value of penny notebook D. The success of a nursing organization
C
An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3,080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That’s like having 634 cans of soda and 1,200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers (偷猎者) kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (栅栏) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa’s elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (项圈) with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they’ve agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows,” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.
8. What can we learn about the elephants from paragraph 1?
A. They show an interest in hamburgers.
B. They move south to survive the cold.
C. They migrate for different reasons.
D. Females live shorter for food shortage.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Results of poaching. B. Reasons for killing elephants.
C. Difficulties in migrating. D. Efforts to protect migration paths.
10. Why are collars applied by scientists?
A. To discover the secret of migration.
B. To track elephants with technology.
C. To identify the population of elephants.
D. To explore a new route for migration.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Say No to Ivory B. A Journey in Africa
C. Ready for the Move D. Technology in Migration
D
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
