第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30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,并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Whether it is for a special festival, to express thanks or to just let someone know that you care about them, giving gifts is a common custom. The purpose of giving gifts may be similar, but the tradition varies from country to country. A gift of respect in one place may be considered rude in another. Take a look at three unique gift-giving traditions.
India
If you’re invited to someone’s home in India, you should bring a small gift, whether it’s a box of chocolates or some flowers. Gifts shouldn’t be wrapped (包裹) in black or white colors, because they are considered unlucky. Instead, use bright colors such as green, red or yellow. When giving money for any occasion, it should have an odd number (奇数) value. That’s believed to bring good luck. Instead of receiving a gift with both hands, Indians generally only use their right hand because left hands are considered unclean.
Japan
For most Japanese, the ritual (礼节) of giving presents is more important than the gifts themselves. The correct way is to present or receive gifts with both hands. Every gift should be wrapped. That’s because uncovered gifts are considered disrespectful. To show politeness and thanks, those who are receiving the gift may turn it down once or twice before finally accepting it. Gifts should be given in pairs, but four should be avoided just like in China. Lucky numbers also include eight. Eight is said to bring prosperity.
Native America
While it may be common for guests to prepare gifts for hosts, this is different in Native American communities. From weddings to birthday celebrations, guests are the ones who receive gifts. Gifts are usually homemade arts and crafts that are made by hand to show love, respect and appreciation.
21. What kind of gift would you bring to an Indian home
A. Some chocolates in a green box.
B. Flowers wrapped in black paper.
C. Sixty dollars in a yellow envelope.
D. Seventy-five rupees wrapped in white paper.
22. Why don’t Japanese accept a gift at once
A. To get another better gift. B. To be more polite and thankful.
C. To refuse one’s kindness. D. To be more outgoing and active.
23. What is the purpose of the text
A. To list some attractive festivals.
B. To compare some countries.
C. To recommend some formal gifts.
D. To introduce some gift-giving traditions.
B
It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son ” she shouts all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to say except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve something because of loving it, not because of fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle (艰难) to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes back home around 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm.
However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean
A. The author’s mother argued about something angrily with him.
B. The author’s mother expressed different opinions on the war.
C. The author’s mother liked talking with him but got angry easily.
D. The author’s mother quite disagreed about what to eat for dinner.
25. Why does the author’s mother mention her co-worker’s son
A. To tell the author to learn as hard as he can.
B. To persuade the author to become a doctor.
C. To encourage the author to receive a scholarship.
D. To ask the author to earn much more money.
26. What makes the author’s mother worried about his major
A. Her plans for future. B. Her need to control.
C. Her struggle with life. D. Her poor knowledge.
27. What can be inferred from the text
A. The author will become an engineer as his mother wishes.
B. Being a scientist is sure to earn high fame and salary.
C. The author shows little interest in learning English.
D. The author may choose major according to his interest.
C
Teaching is not an easy career to go into, yet it’s one of the most important careers in a culture. The future of a country depends on the quality of education that its next generation receives and the character that the children develop. Even though educators are the most important part of our schools, the structure of the education system in the United States is not set up to fully support them. In fact, it often puts them in difficult situations.
In most careers, salaries are based on education, experience, and performance. Not so with teaching. In many schools, teachers aren’t paid based on their level of education or experience. Though many go into the career because of their love of teaching and working with children, being fairly rewarded for their work is a problem.
Add to the fact that many teachers have to spend their summers making enough money to support their family, so many teachers are leaving the field. A 2019 study reported that about 8% of teachers gave up the career each year. The result will soon be that there won’t be enough educators.
One of the reasons why teachers are leaving the field is that they don’t get respect in the classroom. Disrespect, in my view, is the biggest problem that our teachers face and it has got worse in recent years.
How to improve this situation Schools should take care of teachers in them, and our teachers need more of us to support them. They need us to raise our voices for a stronger education system that supports them. They should be offered better salaries and more chances of career improvement. These will encourage more people to be teachers.
28. How does the author like the structure of the American education system
A. It is unsatisfying. B. It is full of risks.
C. It fully supports teachers. D. It puts teachers in good situations.
29. Why do many teachers fail to relax in summer vacations
A. They need some training in teaching.
B. They have to visit students' parents.
C. They have to look after students.
D. They need to make extra money.
30. What do the teachers need most in the author’s opinion
A. Enough respect. B. Increase in salaries.
C. Rights to control students. D. Teaching methods.
31. What does the author advise in the last paragraph
A. Requiring kids to work hard at school.
B. Calling for a better education system.
C. Encouraging more people to be teachers.
D. Having a better understanding of books.
D
What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.
The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—what is called “wakeful rest”.
A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.
If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!
Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it—a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
32. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The importance of sleep. B. The good ways to get a rest.
C. The reason for having a rest. D. The types of resting activities.
33. Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying
A. Reading a newspaper. B. Playing a video game.
C. Sitting there doing nothing. D. Having a nice sleep at night.
34. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF
A. Less than 7 hours. B. Just 7 hours.
C. No more than 9 hours. D. Around 9 hours.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Low-cost Tips on Working B. Good Things to Do After Your Study
C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep D. How Long Should We Rest After Learning

Dear Tina,
Having learned from your note that you want to have a Chinese friend so that you can learn Chinese from scratch and appreciate traditional Chinese culture, I’m writing to introduce myself in the hope that I may be able to help you.
I’m Li Hua, a senior one student from Hope High School. I’m sociable, easy-going and good at communicating with others. In my spare time, I’m a Hanfu clothing enthusiast, interested in promoting the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese. Hanfu is an important part of Chinese civilization, which I believe will attract you as well. Besides, I’ve won many prizes in English contests so that I think we won’t have difficulty communicating with each other.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
