Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. ___21___, people’s facial expressions, movements and posture (姿势) can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds. Understanding these messages hidden in people’s language can require a lot of skill, but Joe Navarro’s book What EVERY BODY is Saying can help ___22___ that ability. Small changes in body language can help you recognize if someone is ___23___. Even when people don’t lie directly they sometimes try to hide their feelings. Whether you are ___24___ with people in business or in your personal life, recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own. According to Navarro, establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important to avoid ___25___ their body language. Most facial expressions and gestures can mean several different things, so ___26___ when people use certain expressions. Recognizing this baseline can help you understand whether expressions and gestures indicate a(n) ___27___ to something you said or not. For example, rubbing one’s eyes may be a sign of ___28___ with a topic. But if the person has been rubbing their eyes ___29___, they might just be tired. When people think of body language, facial expressions tend to come to mind, and these can tell you a lot. For example, if someone keeps looking away from you, they might be distracted or uncomfortable, and pressing one’s lips together often indicates ___30___. And if someone keeps looking away or covering their mouth, it might mean they are ___31___ something. Some people have become good at controlling their facial expressions to conceal their ___32___. When dealing with someone like that, look at the rest of their body, especially their feet and legs. Many people bounce their feet when they are happy or excited. ___33___, if someone feels uncomfortable, they may point their feet away from the person they are speaking to. Proximity (接近，亲近) to other people is also part of body language. People stand closer to people they like or feel comfortable with than to strangers or people they don’t like. And posture also ___34___. Sitting or standing up straight can show that someone feels confident, while sitting with crossed arms indicates that they feel ___35___ or uncomfortable. Body language can communicate a lot about people's thoughts and feelings, and thus, help you relate to them. 21. A. Frequently B. Generally C. Fortunately D. Frankly 22.

[4] C World Hunger Day is about celebrating solutions that keep people from suffering or dying due to lack of food. Read about some causes and also some of the efforts being made to stop this worldwide problem. Why, in a world where we technically produce enough food to feed everyone, do millions of people go to bed hungry each night? The statistics are tragic, and such a contradiction should have no place in our modern world. The UN’s second sustainability goal, “Zero Hunger,” is an ambitious plan to end hunger in the world by 2030. However, the global scale of the hunger staggers the imagination, and it’s getting worse. According to World Vision, as many as 828 million people, or 10% of the global population, are suffering from food insecurity. What are the driving forces behind this stubborn blight (疫病) of hunger? Armed conflict is one. It forces people from their homes, ruins economies and turns millions of people into refugees who become reliant on aid, and luck, for their daily needs. Extreme weather events - like droughts, flooding, hurricanes and cyclones - also drive world hunger by destroying homes and making farmland unusable. Finally, around 30 percent of the world’s food is lost or wasted annually. Food loss occurs when food is damaged or spoiled while moving through the supply chain. Food waste happens when individuals, supermarkets or restaurants buy more food than they need and throw away the excess (超过). World Hunger Day, which is today, isn’t just about bad news. Founded in 2011 by The Hunger Project, World Hunger Day is also about celebrating solutions that will eliminate starvation. In Africa, The Hunger Project has been working to encourage more sustainable and efficient farming methods. For example, by diversifying their crops, farmers will have healthier soil. Furthermore, since farmers need access to safe, clean water, The Hunger Project teaches people how to monitor, maintain and repair water systems such as water pumps. The UN World Food Programme aids farmers by helping them connect to local economies, improve production methods and reduce crop losses. And, for women who are pregnant or nursing and for children, they provide special foods like nutrient-rich peanut paste. So what can you do to help root out world hunger? Aside from striving to reduce your food waste, keep educating yourself and others about the issue. Look for opportunities to feed the hungry in your own communities. There are some fantastic organizations such as SALT Collectiv, who regularly organize and coordinate events to help orphans and feed the hungry. Each step, each choice, each voice can help make hunger a thing of the past. 43. The word stagger in the third paragraph most probably means ________. A. shock B. improve C. restrict D. affect 44. The purpose of the passage is ________. A. to objectively analyze the reasons of starvation B. to seriously warn people of the starvation C. to encourage people to fight against hunger D. to think highly of the effort to try to get rid of hunger 45. What can we infer from the passage? A. Hunger will become a thing of the past. B. Starvation exists mainly in Africa. C. People who need food may get it around themselves. D. It is impossible to get rid of starvation in the world. 46. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Cause of Starvation B. The March toward Zero Hunger C. The Solution to Starvation D. The Consequence of Hunger Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Welcome to the world of online dating! Hundreds of possible matches are only a click away. That makes it a perfect fit for the busy, modern world. Because online dating is flexible, you can decide where and when to look for love. Millions of people use dating apps, but who’s to say that their online profiles are accurate? It’s important to be cautious when building relationships online. ___47___ Being aware of what you’re doing on dating apps helps you stay safe. When you create a dating profile, you’re usually asked to upload pictures. Use clear, recent photos so as not to confuse others about what you look like. Also, think twice about the pictures you share and what kind of information they’re giving away. This practice applies to the words you write, too. Be careful not to reveal very private details about your personal life. ___48___ You can do a lot on your end to protect yourself when setting up your dating profile. But what can you do once you start interacting with others? First, understand that online dating is not a substitute for real-life connections. It’s a tool. Before you start chatting with someone, look closely at their profile. Lack of information can be a cause for concern. A profile with only one photo or photos of scenery is a possible red flag. ___49___ That person is a waste of time. But, let’s say, you find someone you’re interested in. If you choose to meet in person, do so at a busy, public place. Meet at a coffee shop, a restaurant or a mall. Then let a friend know your plans. Finally, trust your instincts. If you feel suspicious, you should end the date. ___50___ Just remember to make safety a priority! A. Believe it or not, online dating is becoming more and more popular these days. B. After all, dating apps don’t require background checks for those who use them. C. If you feel lonely and bored, don’t hesitate to surf online wherever you are. D. Online dating should be and often is, a positive experience for many people. E. When you start talking to someone, don’t tolerate inappropriate messages and photos. F. Instead, be strategic and honest about what you publish on your profile. III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. When we talk, we typically expect others to listen. But when someone else is speaking, are we extending them the same courtesy? Listening well doesn’t come naturally to most people. Because most of us live in a busy world, we concentrate on certain things and tune out the rest. This also means we often don’t really pay attention to what people are saying. One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening. Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating and reflecting your understanding in response. Active listening is not only hearing someone’s words but also taking note of their nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication can include body language, the tone of a speaker’s voice and their talking speed. By practicing active listening, we can hold onto important information better and show care to others. This useful skill makes others want to discuss things with us. To get better at active listening, give the speaker your complete attention. Although this may seem obvious, it is easier said than done. Setting aside your devices and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are good first steps. By avoiding those, it’s easier to give your complete attention to the speaker. Another way to practice active listening is to be aware of body language. Research shows that 55 percent of face-to-face communication is nonverbal, 38 percent vocal and seven percent words. When someone is speaking, their body language is giving information, too. With that in mind, you can give appropriate responses like nodding, smiling or keeping eye contact. A key part of active listening is asking questions and clarifying your understanding. By repeating the speaker’s message in your own words, you show understanding. And if there’s a misunderstanding, the speaker can correct you. Asking relevant questions also helps you completely understand the other person. They will feel encouraged by your attention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

After that, hike one of the park’s many trails. Along some of them, you can see petroglyphs (岩画). These are designs and images that were carved into the stone walls by the Freemont people, who lived in this area from around 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D. If you wish to camp, stay overnight in the Split Mountain campground. During the evening, attend one of the night sky programs that are held after dark in the camping area.

Read about some causes and also some of the efforts being made to stop this worldwide problem. Why, in a world where we technically produce enough food to feed everyone, do millions of people go to bed hungry each night? The statistics are tragic, and such a contradiction should have no place in our modern world. The UN’s second sustainability goal, “Zero Hunger,” is an ambitious plan to end hunger in the world by 2030. However, the global scale of the hunger staggers the imagination, and it’s getting worse. According to World Vision, as many as 828 million people, or 10% of the global population, are suffering from food insecurity. What are the driving forces behind this stubborn blight (疫病) of hunger? Armed conflict is one. It forces people from their homes, ruins economies and turns millions of people into refugees who become reliant on aid, and luck, for their daily needs. Extreme weather events - like droughts, flooding, hurricanes and cyclones - also drive world hunger by destroying homes and making farmland unusable. Finally, around 30 percent of the world’s food is lost or wasted annually. Food loss occurs when food is damaged or spoiled while moving through the supply chain. Food waste happens when individuals, supermarkets or restaurants buy more food than they need and throw away the excess (超过). World Hunger Day, which is today, isn’t just about bad news. Founded in 2011 by The Hunger Project, World Hunger Day is also about celebrating solutions that will eliminate starvation. In Africa, The Hunger Project has been working to encourage more sustainable and efficient farming methods. For example, by diversifying their crops, farmers will have healthier soil. Furthermore, since farmers need access to safe, clean water, The Hunger Project teaches people how to monitor, maintain and repair water systems such as water pumps. The UN World Food Programme aids farmers by helping them connect to local economies, improve production methods and reduce crop losses. And, for women who are pregnant or nursing and for children, they provide special foods like nutrient-rich peanut paste. So what can you do to help root out world hunger? Aside from striving to reduce your food waste, keep educating yourself and others about the issue. Look for opportunities to feed the hungry in your own communities. There are some fantastic organizations such as SALT Collectiv, who regularly organize and coordinate events to help orphans and feed the hungry. Each step, each choice, each voice can help make hunger a thing of the past. 43. The word stagger in the third paragraph most probably means ________. A. shock B. improve C. restrict D. affect 44. The purpose of the passage is ________. A. to objectively analyze the reasons of starvation B. to seriously warn people of the starvation C. to encourage people to fight against hunger D. to think highly of the effort to try to get rid of hunger 45. What can we infer from the passage? A. Hunger will become a thing of the past. B. Starvation exists mainly in Africa. C. People who need food may get it around themselves. D. It is impossible to get rid of starvation in the world. 46. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Cause of Starvation B. The March toward Zero Hunger C. The Solution to Starvation D. The Consequence of Hunger 【答案】43. A 44. D 45. C 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了世界饥饿日的意义，分析了导致全球饥饿问题的一些原因，并介绍了为解决这一问题所做的努力，最后鼓励每个人参与进来，共同消除饥饿。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“According to World Vision, as many as 828 million people, or 10% of the global population, are suffering from food insecurity. (据世界宣明会称，多达8.28亿人（占全球人口的10%）正遭受粮食不安全的困扰。)”可知，全世界饥饿的规模是令人难以想象，推知staggers意为“使大吃一惊”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“World Hunger Day is about celebrating solutions that keep people from suffering or dying due to lack of food. Read about some causes and also some of the efforts being made to stop this worldwide problem. (世界饥饿日旨在庆祝防止人们因缺乏食物而遭受痛苦或死亡的解决方案。阅读一些原因，以及为阻止这个世界性问题所做的一些努力。)”以及倒数第二段“In Africa, The Hunger Project has been working to encourage more sustainable and efficient farming methods. (在非洲，饥饿项目一直致力于鼓励更可持续和高效的农业方法。)”和最后一段“So what can you do to help root out world hunger? Aside from striving to reduce your food waste, keep educating yourself and others about the issue. Look for opportunities to feed the hungry in your own communities. There are some fantastic organizations such as SALT Collectiv, who regularly organize and coordinate events to help orphans and feed the hungry. Each step, each choice, each voice can help make hunger a thing of the past. (那么，你能做些什么来帮助根除世界饥饿呢？除了努力减少食物浪费之外，还要不断教育自己和他人这个问题。寻找机会在你自己的社区里为饥饿的人提供食物。有一些很棒的组织，如SALT collective，他们定期组织和协调活动来帮助孤儿和喂养饥饿的人。每一步，每一个选择，每一个声音都能让饥饿成为过去。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是高度评价为摆脱饥饿而作出的努力。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Aside from striving to reduce your food waste, keep educating yourself and others about the issue.

But what can you do once you start interacting with others? First, understand that online dating is not a substitute for real-life connections. It’s a tool. Before you start chatting with someone, look closely at their profile. Lack of information can be a cause for concern. A profile with only one photo or photos of scenery is a possible red flag. ___49___ That person is a waste of time. But, let’s say, you find someone you’re interested in. If you choose to meet in person, do so at a busy, public place. Meet at a coffee shop, a restaurant or a mall. Then let a friend know your plans. Finally, trust your instincts. If you feel suspicious, you should end the date. ___50___ Just remember to make safety a priority! A. Believe it or not, online dating is becoming more and more popular these days. B. After all, dating apps don’t require background checks for those who use them. C. If you feel lonely and bored, don’t hesitate to surf online wherever you are. D.

Instead be strategic and honest about what you publish on your profile. 【答案】47. B 48. F 49. E 50.

Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. When we talk, we typically expect others to listen. But when someone else is speaking, are we extending them the same courtesy? Listening well doesn’t come naturally to most people. Because most of us live in a busy world, we concentrate on certain things and tune out the rest. This also means we often don’t really pay attention to what people are saying. One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening. Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating and reflecting your understanding in response. Active listening is not only hearing someone’s words but also taking note of their nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication can include body language, the tone of a speaker’s voice and their talking speed. By practicing active listening, we can hold onto important information better and show care to others. This useful skill makes others want to discuss things with us. To get better at active listening, give the speaker your complete attention. Although this may seem obvious, it is easier said than done. Setting aside your devices and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are good first steps. By avoiding those, it’s easier to give your complete attention to the speaker. Another way to practice active listening is to be aware of body language. Research shows that 55 percent of face-to-face communication is nonverbal, 38 percent vocal and seven percent words. When someone is speaking, their body language is giving information, too. With that in mind, you can give appropriate responses like nodding, smiling or keeping eye contact. A key part of active listening is asking questions and clarifying your understanding. By repeating the speaker’s message in your own words you show understanding. And if there’s a misunderstanding, the speaker can correct you. Asking relevant questions also helps you completely understand the other person. They will feel encouraged by your attention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It’s about how to become an active listener. On one hand, concentrating on what the speaker is saying and his nonverbal communication such as body language, tone and speed instead of devices.
