第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分）
第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
If you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world.
Paris
First on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant cafes and high-end shopping. When you finish satisfying your appetite, you can relax on the banks of the Seine River.
Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park comes in second on the list. It is located in Montana, America. It will be well worth the effort thanks to snow-capped mountains, crystal blue lakes, seventy miles of hiking trails, and thirteen camping areas. If you visit during the summer, you can go swimming or white-water rafting. If you visit during the winter, you can go skiing or snowshoeing. But the real allure (诱惑力) and what you will always remember is the breathtaking scenery and fresh mountain air.
Bora Bora
The reason Bora Bora is the third on this list is that it’s expensive, which could limit your other travel plans. If you do make it to this small island paradise, you will find peaceful beaches, jungles, luxury accommodations, turquoise water, and some of the friendliest people you have ever met.
Other vacation destinations that should be on your list if you’re living the adventurous lifestyle include London, the South Island of New Zealand, Maui, Tahiti, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York City.
21. Tourists can ______ to appreciate the charm of Paris.
A. enjoy crystal blue lakes
B. visit its famous attractions
C. take a walk around cobblestone streets
D. meet the friendliest people you have ever met
22. Which of the following points in Glacier National Park will really attract tourists
A. peaceful beaches.
B. White-water rafting.
C. Snow-capped mountains.
D. Fresh mountain air.
23. What’s the purpose of this passage
A. to introduce the top three destinations.
B. to compare the top three destinations.
C. to encourage people to live an adventurous lifestyle.
D. to analyze the good and bad points of the three destinations
B
Ashish, the 48-year-old surgeon encourages others to do the same through Bloodline, a nonprofit association he founded in 2017. Besides this, he donates blood regularly.
According to Ashish, who has been a doctor at a United Family Healthcare hospital in Shanghai since 2007, Bloodline is aimed at creating a blood bank that can help the community as well as individuals with rare blood types who face an urgent need for blood.
“My father, a doctor who specialized in treating chest infections, only charged those who could afford the medical treatment. For those who couldn’t pay, he never mentioned money and instead gave them the drugs for free.” he says.
During his growing up years, Ashish was also exposed to social services, helping collect food and money for a local children’s hospital.
Ashish first donated blood when he was 18. After arriving in China in 2003, Ashish learned mandarin at Fudan University in Shanghai before becoming a graduate student in general surgery at Shanghai Huashan Hospital. Here, he continued participating in blood donation drives as his way of giving back to society. In 2011, he became a volunteer at the Shanghai Blood Center where he helped raise public awareness about blood donations.
The idea of setting up an online community for this cause came in 2013 as he believed that there should be a group of expats who get together voluntarily to work with patients and organize regular gatherings to raise public awareness. In 2017, this community was officially registered as Bloodline.
“Our organization currently has a presence in 14 cities, including Beijing, Dalian, and Guangzhou. It’s often a small group of people in each city but they can help a great deal.” says Ashish, who holds the roles of ambassador and director of the foreign volunteers group at the Shanghai Blood Center.
Ashish has also emphasize the importance of raising awareness of their causes in children, noting that people from the younger generations are more receptive to the idea of donating blood. Bloodline is currently planning to launch a junior club within the organization where youth will get to tour blood donation centers, witness how the blood is dealt, who the end users are, and the difference that they can make to the lives of those in need of blood.
“We come from different countries and have different skin colors, but the blood streaming through our bodies is the same. When there is a need to roll up sleeves and save lives, we will step forward bravely.” he says.
24. The goal of Bloodline is to ________.
set up a blood bank that can help the community
raise money for the charity
assist children in local hospitals
help poor people reduce their financial burden
25. What can we infer about Ashish through the whole passage He ________.
A. benefited from blood donation himself
B. got his medical degree in FuDan University
C. got the idea of founding Bloodline from his father
D. helped collect food and money for a local children’s hospital
26. What message does the passage convey to us
A. Giving is receiving B. Hard work leads to success.
C. One needs to return the favor. D. Love is without boundaries.
C
Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
27．What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club
A．They're objective. B．They're conservative.
C．They're unfair. D．They're strict.
28．What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A．They think themselves smart.
B．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
C．They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D．They look up to great thinkers.
29．Why are more geniuses known to the public
A．Improved global communication.
B．Less discrimination against women.
C．Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D．Changes in people's social positions.
30．What is the best title for the text
A．Geniuses Think Alike B．Genius and Luck
C．Genius and Intelligence D．Genius Takes Many Forms
D
Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.
The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humans to harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but still enough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.
Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."
Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and that heat will radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.
31．What does Xiao expect of his device at present
A．It will be used for medical purposes.
B．It will be made smaller and wearable.
C．It will change natural power into electricity.
D．It will supply constant power to wearable devices.
32．Why does the author mention The Matrix series in the text
A．To give an explanation. B．To introduce a topic.
C．To make a comparison. D．To analyze the cause.
33．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．The convenience of using a battery.
B．The strengths of Xiao's device.
C．The replacement of wearable devices.
D．The development of traditional electronics.
34．What do we know about Xiao's device from the text
A．It operates with plenty of power. B．It is designed for practical use.
C．It benefits people's health in a way. D．It's based on traditional electronics

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
I have met many westerners who do not feel anything to put their feet on the table while sitting on the chair. 35 They don’t feel like it is a strange or rude thing to do it. And I know that they don’t mean to be ill-behaved. However, in the eyes of a Myanmarese, it is really a very rude thing.
For Myanmarese, the head is the most sacred (神圣的) part of the human body while the feet are the most inferior part. 36 They touch ground, dirt, mud and garbage. Just think of all the dirty things lying on the ground. So the Myanmarese regard feet as the most dirty and smelly part of one’s body.
37 When you put that dirty part of your body onto other people’s clean table, it is like an insult (侮辱) to that person if that person is a Myanmarese. There is nothing more insulting to a Myanmarese than to point your feet towards him.
So, if you want to win the heart of your Myanmarese friends, next time when you drop in on him or he visits you, try not to put your feet on the living room table or point your feet towards him. Indeed, your feet should never be pointing to the direction of a person or a sacred place. 38
Possibly, your Myanmarese friend will not say anything even if you do it. But it does mean
that is ok with your behavior or approves of your behavior. 39 Even if that person is your employee or your house maid, you should never do it to him or her.
A. In his heart, he will consider you as a rude person.
B. This is the rule that you must strictly follow in Myanmar.
C. This seems a normal habit to them.
D. Being the lowest part, they are also considered the dirtiest part.
E. Whatever you do, don’t touch the head of a Myanmarese.
F. Myanmarese people do not express themselves as directly as Westerners.
G. For Myanmarese, the dirty part should only be in the lowest place.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Teens like to work out in their daily life, like running, cycling, playing basketball or soccer. But we don’t often think of martial arts as a possible activity; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts isn’t considered a sport, right
Well, here’s some good news: you're wrong! Martial arts is much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). And it’s much less scary and much less difficult than it’s usually portrayed as in movies, so worry not, you don’t need to be the karate kid to have a blast! Let’s look at what you can usually expect from martial arts of any style.
Good martial arts generally requires you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your limbs, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head, and practice can help you learn to stay more focused in general (say, when you start your schoolwork afterwards).
Long series of choreographed (编排好的) moves (including when to breath in and out) called forms are often described as “moving meditation (冥想)” ; they’re meditative in the same way doing repeated moves is, but much more so. Martial arts practice can be as slow or as intense as you want, but it’s always extremely engaging.
Martial arts also improves your coordination, and greatly improves your posture. I have personally seen students go from slouching and knocking things over to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless subtypes and mix-ups of martial arts. Whichever one appeals to you, know that all of them are good choices, competitive or not.
40. Why isn’t martial arts considered a sport by some people
41. What should people focus their attention on when doing martial arts
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Martial arts practice is beneficial because it can not only make us more facially attractive but also help improve our mental state.
43. Which type of sport do you prefer, slow sports like yoga, or competitive sports like basketball Explain why. (about 40 words)

第二节 Possible version:
Dear Jim,
I am happy to hear from you.Knowing that you plan to find a volunteering job in Beijing this summer. I'm writing to give you some suggestions.
I think you can teach the kids English in the summer camp . And the reasons are as follows. Firstly, since you are from an English-speaking country, I think you can not only help the participants with their English but also introduce to them the customs in your country, which, I think is appealing to them. Besides, teaching English, you will have more chances to communicate with students, and hopefully, you will make more friends in the process.
As for the preparation, you can talk with your classmates to know the difficulties they have in learning English and have a knowledge of what the participants may be interested in about culture.
Hope my suggestion can be of some help to you and wish you a good time in the coming summer vacation.
Yours,
Li Hua
