第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分30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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Mosquitoes (蚊子)can cause us serious diseases. Until now we've used different things to keep them away. But none of these ways actually protect us for more than 20 minutes! Now there is a new way to keep mosquitoes away from you ever again without using any chemicals at all.
What is it all about?
It's called the Mosquitron — a new mosquito catcher or killer. It's very easy to control and it can protect your home from all the mosquitoes!
How does it work?
Instead of trying to keep the mosquitoes away, it attracts them, then catches them and finally kills them! Basically, it will attract the mosquitoes into the Mosquitron, with a completely harmless UV-PT producing light. Next to the UV-PT light is a powerful reverse (反向的)fan that sucks (吸)the mosquitoes through a one-way trapdoor. Once they are trapped in the drying basket« they are dried to death by the fan in 2 minutes.
How much does it cost?
You'd be surprised to find that you can get it right now for just $89. It might seem expensive at first. However, when you compare it with other products which need regular, expensive repair and don't work for more than 10 minutes, it is pretty cheap. In fact, some products using the same UV technology are priced over $250! to buy a mosquitron?
That's very easy. You can only buy it from the supplier's website.
21.Why should we stay away from mosquitoes?
A. They produce much noise. B. They need a safe environment.
C. They can spread serious diseases. D. They can make dangerous chemicals.
22. How does the Mosquitron clear mosquitoes?
A. By watering them in a basket B. By attracting and killing them.
C.By burying them with hot sand. D. By giving off strong and harmful light.
23. Where can we buy a mosquitron according to the text?
A. On the website. B. In a supermarket. C. In a restaurant. D.In a computer store.
B

The characteristic (特征) of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention. Whether shyness is part of your children’s personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers, it is a common experience, according to a study.
For children at this age, shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task. For a smaller group of shy children, however, being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.
A shy temperament isn’t always valued by society like an outgoing personality, but that doesn’t mean there is something wrong. Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment. And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.
Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem, parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children. Importantly, however, we know that not all shy children are the same, and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.
To look at shyness, researchers brought 152 children aged 7-8 into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children. The study showed that about 10% of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech. About 25% of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents, but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech. This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children’s temperament (性情).
28.What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A.Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.
B.Shyness is born with personality.
C.Shyness will appear when one is in public.
D.Shyness means not communicating with others.
29.What is the finding of the study?
A.Few kids like to give a speech to others.
B.Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.
C.Some kids appear less shy with their parents.
D.Some kids are stressed when being separated.
30.What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?
A.Bring them to crowded space.
B.Care for them and give them confidence.
C.Keep them away from shyness.
D.Let them be alone.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.When are people shy? B.Ways of beating shyness
C.Why is shyness a bad thing? D.The discoveries about shyness
D
Will human beings find intelligent alien (外星的) life anytime soon? Probably not, according to theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.
Hawking made the prediction during the Breakthrough Starshot announcement in New York City on April 12. At the news conference, Hawking, along with Russian billionaire sponsor Yuri Milner and a group of scientists, detailed a new project that aims to send a large number of tiny, wafer-size (薄饼大小的) spaceships into space to the neighboring star system Alpha Centauri (半人马座阿尔法星).
If these tiny spaceships travel at 20 percent of the speed of light, they'll be able to reach Alpha Centauri in just 20 years, Milner said. Once there, the spacecraft will be able to do a 1-hour flyby of Alpha Centauri and collect data that's impossible to gather from Earth, such as taking close-up photos of the star system, studying space dust molecules (分子) and measuring magnetic fields (磁场), said Avi Loeb, chairman of the Breakthrough Starshot Advisory Committee and a professor of science at Harvard University.
In addition to learning about space technology, the audience wanted to hear about aliens--specifically, when scientists might find them.
Hawking took questions from reporters in advance so that he would have time to prepare his answers.
Hawking has famously predicted that intelligent aliens might threaten humankind. Indeed, when asked about what Earthlings should do if we came across intelligent alien life, he said, “We should hope that they don' t find us.”
Other researchers at the conference offered a more optimistic view of alien life
32. What are the wafer-size spaceships mainly designed for?
A. Looking for aliens. B. Doing a 1-hour flyby.
C. Landing on Alpha Centauri. D. Collecting data about Alpha Centauri.
33. Stephen Hawking might agree that________.
A. pretty soon human beings will find alien life
B. we may find alien life a danger to human beings
C. Alpha Centauri is suitable for human immigration (移民)
D. scientists should be sent into space to collect data
34. The underlined word “Earthlings” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.
A. Sponsors B. reporters C. human beings D. scientists
35. The next part of the passage will probably deal with________.
A. analysis of the data collected B. other questions from reporters
C. possible ways to defend us against aliens D. other scientist’ opinions on alien life

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。
Believe it or not, humans spend roughly one-third of their lives asleep. No wonder the quality of our sleep is so closely linked to the quality of our lives. 36
Here are some fun facts related to sleep that you might not know about. Let’s find out!
How do astronauts sleep?
A person in space goes to bed at night then wakes up the next day. But it’s a little different since there is no up or down and no pull of gravity. ___37___ Astronauts can attach themselves to a wall, a seat or a bed inside the cabin so they don’t float around or bump into something.
___38___
We’re all familiar with songs getting stuck in our heads while we’re awake. This phenomenon is called earworms. It turns out that this can happen during sleep as well. Even if we’re asleep, our brains continue to process music, which could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Sleep with your pet?
Is it good for you to sleep with a pet? Experts have traditionally said no. Pets, like dogs and cats, do not sleep continuously and they will often get up and walk on the bed. All of the activities will lead to a disturbed sleep. 39 But recent studies found that people with depression or anxiety may benefit from having their pets in the bed.
Socks can help us sleep?
40 Putting on a pair of socks at bedtime will help you fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less. Wearing socks can help a process called distal vasodilation, which refers to an increase of blood to your hands and feet.
A.Can you feel the music clearly?
B.Earworms happen while sleeping?
C.This might cause you to sleep even worse.
D.Hence, weightless astronauts can sleep anywhere.
E.Your sleep will improve with a pair of warm feet.
F.A sound sleep can bring a good mood and energy.
G.Too little sleep will affect academic performances.
