第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
A big part of an American road trip is to get your music on as you head out on the highway and enjoy the sights and the scenery. Here are the top four scenic drives in America’s Southwest.
Big Sur Coast Highway, California
It is officially known as California State Route 1 with views of high mountains and rolling waves. Photo tip--just after you cross the bridge (going south), there’s a parking area which is great for shots looking back towards the bridge.
Las Vegas Boulevard, Nevada
Number two is not to be confused with “The Strip” in Las Vegas. It is worth checking out for its neon (霓虹) signs along the roadside. You can see the Hacienda Horse, Rider and the iconic Silver Slipper along this way which takes only 15 minutes to drive.
Death Valley, California
As the hottest, driest and lowest national park, Death Valley is a land of extremes. More than just a desert, Death Valley provides park visitors with a chance to admire natural beauty from the snow mountains to the wildflower fields and small oases (绿洲) to the endless desert.
Red Rock Scenic Byway, Arizona
The Scenic Byway is south on the way to Oak Creek, which is surrounded by an amazing landscape of red rock hills set against clear blue skies. The sandstone rock glows in the sunshine and it’s worth taking your hiking boots and getting out into the landscape to experience its positive energy.
21. Who is the text probably written for?
A. Hikers. B. Self-driving tourists.
C. Photography lovers. D. Adventurers.
22. What is recommended if you choose California State Route 1?
A. Parking to listen to the waves. B. Enjoying the beauty of neon signs.
C. Going for a hike on high mountains. D. Taking pictures across the bridge.

If you’re looking for inspiration to get healthy and stay active, look no further than Edna Giordano.
Edna, who lives in Canada, has become famous for the fitness level she maintains at age 91. The mom of five, grandmother of twenty-one and great-grandmother of four still drives now. “I’ve always had a busy lifestyle because, let’s face it, with that many children, you have to be busy,” Edna said. “So, I never really thought about it. That’s just the way I live.” She said she only really began to focus on her fitness in her 60s, when she was forced to retire from her job at a local hospital. She had to face the fact that she was 60.
To keep herself busy, Edna began gardening again that she had to abandon due to her busy work. She said she also started going to the gym in her 60s, which she still does every other day. “I have to keep my feet to the fire because it’s cold in the morning in winter, and when it’s snowy or icy out there, I don’t really get enthusiastic about going outside,” she said. “But I make myself do it and mark it on the calendar. So I cannot take any shortcuts.”
Edna said she focused on walking at the gym for her cardiovascular (心血管) health and also included lots of weight lifting in her routine to maintain her bone strength. “When in the gym, I don’t try to break any records or compete with anyone else,” Edna said. “I only push myself to do better all the time, and I only compete with myself.”
When it came to her age, Edna said the people at the gym didn’t realize she’s 91. She prefers it that way, because when people do realize she’s in her 90s, they’ll surely demand to help her. “I know them well. But I don’t really want help,” said Edna. “It’s funny to say that, but I like to be independent.”
24. What made Edna leave her job in the hospital?
A. Her turning 60. B. Her looking after many kids.
C. Her wish to live a busy life. D. Her suffering from a disease.
25. What do we know about Edna after retirement?
A. She lives in a cold place all year round.
B. She manages to be a regular at the gym.
C. She develops a new hobby for gardening.
D. She likes to take shortcuts in her daily life.
26. Which of the following best describes the people at the gym?
A. Competitive. B. Humorous. C. Cautious. D. Caring.
27. What can we learn from Edna’s story?
A. The elderly also enjoy trends. B. Experience beats youth.
C. A positive attitude extends life. D. Fitness at any age ensures a long life.
C
As you shop online, you may be drawn to digital ads with curvy(圆角)designs without even realizing it. According to a new study from the University of South Florida, consumers click on curvy call-to-action buttons, such as “Shop Now” or “Add to Cart”, at a significantly higher rate than those with sharp angles.
“It’s actually rooted in natural instincts(本能),” says Dipayan Biswas, professor of marketing. “According to research from different disciplines, our natural instincts send us signals that sharp angles usually indicate danger and that we’re more likely to get hurt. In contrast, curvy designs are perceived (认为) as friendlier and more approachable.”
This feeling leads people to subconsciously prefer things, including digital ad designs, which are soft-edged and curvy. As published in the Journal of Consumer Research, Biswas tested this concept through click rates and eye movement studies in the Muma College of Business Customer Experience Lab. The novel findings reveal how the shapes of virtual elements can subconsciously influence click-through rates.
“We studied a hotel search button and we consistently found the click rate was higher when the elements were curved,” Biswas says. “It translated to an increase of nearly 15percent in total revenue(收入).” According to Biswas, this means companies can potentially manipulate consumers as they will unconsciously click and spend more through the use of curved call-to-action buttons. For companies that put little thought or reasoning (推断力) behind their design element choices, this study could be eye-opening for them.
For shoppers, this means when they’re surfing the web around a holiday shopping season, they are subject to the marketing practice, such as design elements, which can lead to more unplanned purchases. Biswas encourages online shoppers to set a budget to balance such digital influence. “Having a budget will give you a benchmark to keep things more conscious-oriented and you’re less likely to be influenced by variables like these.”
28. Why do people tend to click curvy buttons when shopping online?
A. They make shopping convenient. B. They give us a sense of security.
C. They often mean trade discounts. D. They offer various easy options.
29. Which is closest in meaning to “manipulate” in paragraph 4?
A. Respect. B. Block. C. Track. D. Affect.
30. What do we know about curvy designs?
A. They have been used by all businesses. B. They stop us making decisions quickly.
C. They are a powerful tool for companies. D. They enable websites to function well.
31. What does Biswas probably suggest readers do?
A. Be reasonable consumers. B. Frequent physical stores.
C. Become aware of their right. D. Avoid surfing the Internet.

This summer has brought extreme heat and droughts (干旱) to places around the world. The droughts are leading to serious problems, including shortages of food and energy, problems with transportation, and food price increases. The effects of the droughts are likely to be felt for years.
From Africa to Europe to the US to China, record temperatures and low rainfall have been causing problems. Droughts aren’t new, but Earth’s rising temperatures because of global warming are making them much harder to avoid.
The drought in the Horn of Africa may be the most serious situation. For several years, the area has had very little rain during the rainy seasons. Now the area, which includes Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia, is suffering from its worst drought in 40 years.
Almost two-thirds of Europe is threatened (威胁) by what may be the worst drought there in 500 years. With temperatures reaching 40℃ and hotter, many crops have been damaged. In France, Spain, Portugal, and even Britain, firefighters have struggled to control wildfires.
In the US, many states that use water from the Colorado River are struggling with low water levels. Farmers in California and Arizona have been hit particularly hard. In California water use is being limited now and farmers aren’t able to grow as many crops. That can drive up food prices, and that affects everyone.
China is facing similar problems. It has been attacked by a terrible drought this summer, with temperatures as high as 45℃. The drought has dried up much of the water in the Yangtze, China’s longest river. That has cut the amount of energy produced by the world’s largest dam by 40%.
There are no easy solutions for any of these droughts. It took years to create the climate crisis, and it will take a long time to get it under control. For now, governments and people will need to carefully manage water supplies and other resources to limit the damage as much as possible.
32. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Problems. B. Droughts.
C. The effects of the droughts. D. Earth’s rising temperatures.
33. What make farmers in California grow fewer crops?
A. Wildfires. B. Food prices.
C. Water limits. D. High water levels.
34. How does the author develop the text?
A. By giving some examples. B. By offering some reasons.
C. By answering some questions. D. By explaining some puzzles.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Reasons Behind Worldwide Droughts
B. The Effects of Extreme Heat and Droughts
C. Droughts Cause Problems Around the World
D. Solutions Are Needed for Worldwide Droughts

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us devote valuable time, energy and money to planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. ____36____
Yet, although those are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK — but not great. ___37____ A classic one for vacation planners is trying to make full use of the money by planning trips that have too many parts. Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory (理论), but travelling from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness — time to take in our new environment, time to think about our travel experiences. ____38____ Such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add to or remove from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
____39____ Firstly, choose your travel partners wisely, because nothing contributes more greatly to a trip than the right partners. Secondly, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive. ____40____
A. Planning trips is helpful to us physically and mentally.
B. Thirdly, means of transportation is another big headache.
C. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided.
D. Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules.
E. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic (策略的) issues.
F. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and fight against anxiety.
G. Above all, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more happiness than physical belongings

I also __47___ that the focus of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, rather than exercising to ___48___ my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body did change — I got ___49___ and quicker — but more importantly, the sport benefited me a lot in many ways. ___50___, in the last year of university I was too busy to do kung fu most of the time.
When I moved to Italy this year I wanted to ___51___ doing a combat sport again. I found a great local ___52___ that does mixed martial arts (武术).

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Being a twelve-year-old girl is hard; being a twelve-year-old girl with dyslexia (阅读障碍) makes it even harder.
I was standing in my mom’s bedroom with my unfinished math homework in my hand. “I can’t do it, Mom. I don’t understand it!” Although I couldn’t see clearly through my teary eyes, I could still sense my mom’s face was filled with concern.
“Can I see your homework, honey?” As instructed, I slowly handed over the paper. After a short pause, she excitedly announced, “You got the fifth question right!” Shrugging(耸) my shoulders, I replied, “Yeah, but the rest are probably wrong.”
Mom lifted my chin with a gentle hand and said, “That you got some answers wrong doesn’t make the answer you got right any less impressive!”
As we stood in silence, she lightly held my shoulders and slowly turned me so I could see myself in the large mirror. “Now repeat after me!” Mom said in a kind but demanding voice, “I DID IT!” She stopped as she waited for me to follow her.
With a reassuring hand on my shoulder, Mom said, “You know that I went through, and still go through the same hardships. But I know I’m competent, smart and successful and it’s so important that my daughter knows how intelligent she is. Now, let’s take a look at your homework.”
Together we looked through and completed the math homework. After each problem we got right, we would high-five as if I had just won a huge victory.
“Now, tomorrow when you are doing your math, I want you to take the problems one at a time and say ‘I DID IT!’ after completing each one. OK?” said Mom.
“OK I’ll try,” I replied.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
