第四部分阅读理解(每小题2.5分;满分37.5分)
A
Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates, and it comes with a lot of changes. For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.
Goal setting
When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.
Interpersonal skills
At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence.
Studying
With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule.
Budgeting
Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too.
36. Who is this passage most probably written for?
A. College teachers.
B. University graduates.
C. High school teachers.
D. Would-be college students.
37. What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal?
A. Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones.
B. Reward oneself for each goal one has set.
C. Purchase a clear, updated roadmap.
D. Push oneself to an upper level.
38. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to ________.
A. prepare complicated questions
B. try on someone else’s shoes
C. listen to others carefully
D. take advantage of others
39. What is the key to successful college study according to the author?
A. Being well-organized.
B. Being well-informed.
C. Effective reading skills.
D. Reliable research methods.
40. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is________.
A. save money for financial investment
B. estimate one’s income and expenses
C. set aside money for fun activities
D. open a personal bank account
B
An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu(臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.
“It’s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said.
Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother’s house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.
Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle’s condition of Down syndrome(唐氏综合征).
He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.
However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸)a baby.
A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft in the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.
Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was able to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice(偏见). As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.
The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.
41. Why did stinky tofu become the author’s favorite dish?
A. It was related to family tradition.
B. It turned out to be quite delicious.
C. Grandma encouraged him to try it.
D. His appetite for food had increased.
42. What did the author think of his uncle at first?
A. He was a quiet person.
B. He was an energetic guy.
C. He was an immature man.
D. He was a strange creature.
43 The author’s attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when .
A. Chan’s footsteps woke up the author
B. Chan showed his friendliness to the author
C. Chan displayed his love towards his mother
D. Chan’s blank expression made the author smile
44 The comparison between stinky tofu and the author’s uncle serves to _.
A. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan
B. analyze the family relationship
C. describe a childhood memory
D. introduce a traditional Chinese food
45. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A. We shouldn’t judge by appearances.
B. A person’s taste changes over time.
C. Blood is thicker than water.
D. You are what you eat.
C
The piping plover is already one of the most endangered birds in the Great Lakes area of the northern United States. Now, the rising water levels of Lake Michigan further threaten the birds and the areas where they live. Many sandy areas near the water are getting smaller, while others are underwater. The birds are forced to move closer to places with trees and bushes, or even to urban areas.
Vince Cavalieri works with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He says that the water levels are rising and rising, which put plovers in more danger than most other bird groups. That is because the areas where they live have been disappearing. He adds that some nests (巢) on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes also have been swept away.
The Great Lakes generally rise with the melting snow and rainstorms of spring, and fall during the drier summer months. In a recent report, researchers Drew Gronewold and Richard Rood said, “quick changes between extreme high and low water levels in the Great Lakes represent the ‘new normal’.”
If that is true, the piping plovers could be at greater risk. Their number already has dropped because of shoreline development. The government lists the birds as threatened in the northern Great Plains and along the Atlantic coast. Rising sea level there threatens their wintering grounds. But the Great Lakes population is endangered, hitting a low of just 12 breeding pairs in 1990.
There are some recovery projects. In 2017, officials counted 76 breeding pairs of plovers. Last year, they counted 86. Cavalier of the fish and wildlife service expects to see larger numbers this year.
Erica Adams is a plover expert with the National Park Service. She said unleashed (未约束的) dogs are the biggest problem for the birds. Dogs sometimes scare the birds so badly that they leave their nests.
46. What do you know about the piping plover?
A. It and its habitats are in danger.
B. It is the most valuable birds in the U.S.
C. It mainly lives in trees near the Great Lakes.
D. It moves to new places to live with the change of climate.
47. What made plovers in more danger than most other bird groups?
A. The human’s destruction.
B. The higher water levels.
C. The environment pollution.
D. The development of urbanization.
48. According to the passage, the “new normal” _________.
A. can increase the number of new bird species
B. made the Great Lakes water problems worse
C. shows that climate change is improving
D. may seriously influence the piping plovers living in the Great Lakes
49. From Para.5, we can know that _________.
A. some recovery projects work
B. the number of plovers drops continually
C. the recovery projects are useless for plovers
D. Richard Rood thinks highly of the recovery projects
50. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health.
C. Nature. D. Science.

Mr. Zhao, a street cleaner from Shenyang, in China’s northeast Liaoning Province, leads a very simple lifestyle. Most of his meals consist of simple boiled noodles, he hasn’t bought new clothes in about 30 years, and he and his family live in a very small house. Even though he earns just 2,000 yuan per month, he could probably have a much more comfortable life if he didn’t give most of his income away. Coming from low beginnings himself, he has spent the last thirty years of his life helping poor children, while also taking care of his own family.
Zhao’s father died when he was very young, and his mother suffered from mental problems, so he relied on the kindness of others throughout most of his childhood. He knows all about poverty and helplessness. That’s what makes him so dedicated to paying this kindness forward and helping other helpless children.
His family didn’t see the reason why he donated most of his income to the strangers, but he knows he’s doing the right thing. The 58-year-old street cleaner and his family used to live in their own house, but he decided to sell it a few years back, so now they live in a rented one. Zhao’s wife usually asked him why he gave money to strangers when their own family hardly had enough to get by.
So he took her to a mountain village to see the children he was donating money to and the conditions they lived in so she could understand his reasons. She hasn’t once argued with him about it since. She is on her husband’s side and helps these poor children with him together.
“I used to be like these children, I didn’t have enough to eat and I felt helpless, Zhao said. “I want to help them change their destiny (命运).”

【点睛】名词性从句的考查集中在引导词的选择上,连接词that只起连接作用;连接代词who(ever),which(ever),whom(ever),whose(ever),what(ever)在句中做主语,宾语,表语和定语;连接副词when, why, where, how,在句中做状语。应从上下句的句法关系着手分析,切不可“望句形生答案”。总的来说,考生在解答此类型时,可用排除法或造句法,造句法就是仿造原句的语法功能仿造出一个易懂易理解的句子,帮助判断。
15. They will be very happy if you tell them in advance that you here.
A. will be teaching B. have taught C. have been teaching D. were teaching
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:如果你提前告诉他们你将在这里教书,他们会很高兴的。根据句意可知,你将在这里教书,表示教书的动作从将来某一时间开始,并可能在将来继续进行,应用将来进行时will be doing的形式。B项是现在完成时,C项是现在完成进行时,D项是过去进行时,均不符合题意。故选A项。

第四部分阅读理解(每小题2.5分;满分37.5分)
A
Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates, and it comes with a lot of changes. For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.
Goal setting
When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.
Interpersonal skills
At college you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence.
Studying
With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule.
Budgeting
Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too.
36. Who is this passage most probably written for?
A. College teachers.
B. University graduates.
C. High school teachers.
D Would-be college students.
37. What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal?
A. Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones.

38. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to ________.
A. prepare complicated questions
B. try on someone else’s shoes
C. listen to others carefully
D. take advantage of others

An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu(臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.
“It’s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said.
Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother’s house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.
Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle’s condition of Down syndrome(唐氏综合征).
He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.
However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸)a baby.
A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft in the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.
Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was able to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice(偏见). As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.
The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.
41. Why did stinky tofu become the author’s favorite dish?
A. It was related to family tradition.
B. It turned out to be quite delicious.
C. Grandma encouraged him to try it.
D. His appetite for food had increased.
42. What did the author think of his uncle at first?
A. He was a quiet person.
B. He was an energetic guy.
C. He was an immature man.
D. He was a strange creature.
43. The author’s attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when .
A. Chan’s footsteps woke up the author
B. Chan showed his friendliness to the author
C. Chan displayed his love towards his mother
D. Chan’s blank expression made the author smile
44. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author’s uncle serves to _.
A. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan
B. analyze the family relationship
C. describe a childhood memory
D. introduce a traditional Chinese food
45. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A. We shouldn’t judge by appearances.
B. A person’s taste changes over time.
C. Blood is thicker than water.
D. You are what you eat.
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. A
【解析】

【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering.(令我惊讶的是,油炸后的豆腐又热又软,令人垂涎欲滴)可知,臭豆腐成了作者最喜欢的菜,是因为它很好吃。故B选项正确。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸)a baby.(他慢慢地坐在我旁边,轻轻地抚摸着我的脸,就像一位母亲抚摸婴儿一样)及第七段中的My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.(我的恐惧渐渐消失了,我的肌肉也放松了。我第一次在他的眼里看到了温柔和温暖)可知,当叔叔对作者展现友善时,作者对陈叔叔的态度发生了变化。故B选项正确。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第八段中的My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu.(我叔叔很像臭豆腐)及Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.(就像臭豆腐一样,一开始我叔叔的唐氏综合征让我和他保持距离。然而,我了解到,在内心深处,他是无害的,有爱的天性)可推知,作者用臭豆腐衬托了叔叔的内心本质。故A选项正确。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.(臭豆腐不仅好吃,还给我们上了宝贵的一课:不要以貌取人,真正的美来自内心)可知,本文作者主要想告诉我们——不要以貌取人,心里美才是真的美。故A选项正确。
C
The piping plover is already one of the most endangered birds in the Great Lakes area of the northern United States. Now, the rising water levels of Lake Michigan further threaten the birds and the areas where they live. Many sandy areas near the water are getting smaller, while others are underwater. The birds are forced to move closer to places with trees and bushes, or even to urban areas.
Vince Cavalieri works with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He says that the water levels are rising and rising, which put plovers in more danger than most other bird groups. That is because the areas where they live have been disappearing. He adds that some nests (巢) on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes also have been swept away.
The Great Lakes generally rise with the melting snow and rainstorms of spring, and fall during the drier summer months. In a recent report, researchers Drew Gronewold and Richard Rood said, “quick changes between extreme high and low water levels in the Great Lakes represent the ‘new normal’.”
If that is true, the piping plovers could be at greater risk. Their number already has dropped because of shoreline development. The government lists the birds as threatened in the northern Great Plains and along the Atlantic coast. Rising sea level there threatens their wintering grounds. But the Great Lakes population is endangered, hitting a low of just 12 breeding pairs in 1990.
There are some recovery projects. In 2017, officials counted 76 breeding pairs of plovers. Last year, they counted 86. Cavalier of the fish and wildlife service expects to see larger numbers this year.
Erica Adams is a plover expert with the National Park Service. She said unleashed (未约束的) dogs are the biggest problem for the birds. Dogs sometimes scare the birds so badly that they leave their nests.
46. What do you know about the piping plover?
A. It and its habitats are in danger.
B. It is the most valuable birds in the U.S.
C. It mainly lives in trees near the Great Lakes.
D. It moves to new places to live with the change of climate.
47. What made plovers in more danger than most other bird groups?
A. The human’s destruction.
B. The higher water levels.
C. The environment pollution.
D. The development of urbanization.
48. According to the passage, the “new normal” _________.
A. can increase the number of new bird species
B. made the Great Lakes water problems worse
C. shows that climate change is improving
D. may seriously influence the piping plovers living in the Great Lakes
49. From Para.5, we can know that _________.
A. some recovery projects work
B. the number of plovers drops continually
C the recovery projects are useless for plovers
D. Richard Rood thinks highly of the recovery projects
50. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health.
C. Nature. D. Science.
【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. C
【解析】

Now, the rising water levels of Lake Michigan further threaten the birds and the areas where they live. (笛鸻已经是美国北部五大湖地区最濒危的鸟类之一。现在,密歇根湖水位的上升进一步威胁着这些鸟类及其栖息地)”可知,笛鸻和它的栖息地都处于危险之中。故选A。
【47题详解】

48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a recent report, researchers Drew Gronewold and Richard Rood said, “quick changes between extreme high and low water levels in the Great Lakes represent the ‘new normal’.” (最近的一份报告中,研究人员Drew Gronewold和Richard Rood说:“五大湖水位在极高和极低之间的快速变化代表了‘新常态’。”)”和第四段中“If that is true, the piping plovers could be at greater risk. (如果这是真的,笛鸻可能面临更大的风险)”可推知,“新常态”会严重影响生活在五大湖的笛鸻。故选D。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“There are some recovery projects. In 2017, officials counted 76 breeding pairs of plovers. Last year, they counted 86. Cavalier of the fish and wildlife service expects to see larger numbers this year. (目前有一些恢复项目正在进行。2017年,官员们统计到76对繁殖的笛鸻。去年,他们统计到86对。鱼类和野生动物管理局的Cavalier预计今年数量会更多)”可推知,一些恢复项目起作用了。故选A。

The birds are forced to move closer to places with trees and bushes, or even to urban areas. (笛鸻已经是美国北部五大湖地区最濒危的鸟类之一。现在,密歇根湖水位的上升进一步威胁着这些鸟类及其栖息地。许多靠近水边的沙地正在变小,而另一些则已被水淹没。这些鸟类被迫迁移到靠近树木和灌木丛的地方,甚至进入城市地区)”可知,文章主要讲述了美国五大湖地区濒危鸟类笛鸻由于水位上升等原因面临着生存危机,还介绍了一些恢复项目。这些内容与自然环境和生物相关,所以这篇文章可能出现在报纸的自然版块。故选C。

Mr. Zhao, a street cleaner from Shenyang, in China’s northeast Liaoning Province, leads a very simple lifestyle. Most of his meals consist of simple boiled noodles, he hasn’t bought new clothes in about 30 years, and he and his family live in a very small house. Even though he earns just 2,000 yuan per month, he could probably have a much more comfortable life if he didn’t give most of his income away. Coming from low beginnings himself, he has spent the last thirty years of his life helping poor children, while also taking care of his own family.
Zhao’s father died when he was very young, and his mother suffered from mental problems, so he relied on the kindness of others throughout most of his childhood. He knows all about poverty and helplessness. That’s what makes him so dedicated to paying this kindness forward and helping other helpless children.
His family didn’t see the reason why he donated most of his income to the strangers, but he knows he’s doing the right thing. The 58-year-old street cleaner and his family used to live in their own house, but he decided to sell it a few years back, so now they live in a rented one. Zhao’s wife usually asked him why he gave money to strangers when their own family hardly had enough to get by.
So he took her to a mountain village to see the children he was donating money to and the conditions they lived in so she could understand his reasons. She hasn’t once argued with him about it since. She is on her husband’s side and helps these poor children with him together.
“I used to be like these children, I didn’t have enough to eat and I felt helpless, Zhao said. “I want to help them change their destiny (命运).”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是来自中国东北辽宁省沈阳市的街道清洁工赵先生,尽管生活简朴、收入微薄,却将大部分收入捐赠给贫困儿童,致力于帮助他们改变命运的故事。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“Even though he earns just 2,000 yuan per month, he could probably have a much more comfortable life if he didn’t give most of his income away. Coming from low beginnings himself, he has spent the last thirty years of his life helping poor children, while also taking care of his own family. (尽管他每个月只挣2000元,但如果他不把大部分收入都捐出去,他可能会过得更舒适。他出身贫寒,在过去的三十年里,他一直在帮助贫困儿童,同时也照顾自己的家庭。)”可知,Mr. Zhao的收入用来捐给了贫困儿童。故答案为Donating to poor children.
【52题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第二段“Zhao’s father died when he was very young, and his mother suffered from mental problems, so he relied on the kindness of others throughout most of his childhood. He knows all about poverty and helplessness. (赵的父亲在他很小的时候就去世了,他的母亲患有精神疾病,所以他童年的大部分时间都是依靠别人的好意度过的。他对贫穷和无助了如指掌。)”可知,因为他小时候被帮助过所以他才会如此热心于帮助别人。故答案为Because he was helped when he was young.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“His family didn’t see the reason why he donated most of his income to the strangers, but he knows he’s doing the right thing. (他的家人不明白他把大部分收入捐给陌生人的原因,但他知道自己在做正确的事情。)”可知,他的家人们不理解他,故答案为They didn’t understand him.
【54题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据倒数第二段“She hasn’t once argued with him about it since. (从那以后,她再也没有和他争论过这件事。)”和“helps these poor children with him together. (和他一起帮助这些可怜的孩子。)”可知,她开始理解丈夫,“She is on her husband’s side”的意思是她理解丈夫,故答案为She understood him.
【55题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第一段“Even though he earns just 2,000 yuan per month, he could probably have a much more comfortable life if he didn’t give most of his income away. Coming from low beginnings himself, he has spent the last thirty years of his life helping poor children, while also taking care of his own family. (尽管他每个月只挣2000元,但如果他不把大部分收入都捐出去,他可能会过得更舒适。他出身贫寒,在过去的三十年里,他一直在帮助贫困儿童,同时也照顾自己的家庭。)”可知,我认为他善良无私,致力于帮助贫困儿童改变他们的命运。故答案为Mr. Zhao is kind-hearted and selfless and dedicated to helping poor children change their destiny.
