第二部分 阅读理解（共两节, 满分35分）
第一节（共10小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分25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
This year marks the 81st publication anniversary of Ernest Hemingway's Spanish Civil War epic, For Whom the Bell Tolls. The novel, which drew on the author's own experiences as a reporter for the North American Newspaper Alliance during the war, was a huge critical and commercial triumph for Hemingway, selling half a million copies in its first few months.
For Whom the Bell Tolls was also a finalist for the 1941 Pulitzer Prize, allegedly chosen as the winner by both the jury and the board, before being vetoed（否决）by Columbia president (and ex-official chairman of the board) Nicholas Murray Butler because he found the book offensive.
In 1943, less than two years after the book was first published, Paramount Pictures released a wildly successful movie adaptation of the book staring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman, both of whom somewhat incredibly, were handpicked for their roles by Hemingway himself.
Let's look back at one of the earliest reviews of "the first major novel of WWI":
All that need be said here about the new Hemingway novel can be said in relatively few words. For Whom the Bell Tolls is a tremendous piece of work. It is the most moving document to date on the Spanish Civil War, and the first major novel of the Second World War.
As a story, it is superb, packed with the matter of picaresque（传奇式流浪冒险的）romance∶ blood, lust, adventure, vulgarity, comedy, tragedy. For Robert Jordan, the young American from Montana, the lust and adventure are quickly drowned in blood. The comedy, as in other Hemingway fiction, is practically indistinguishable from the vulgarity, which in this case is a rich and indigenous peasant brand. The tragedy is present and only too plain
21. What do we know about For Whom the Bell Tolls
A. It won the 1941 Pulitzer Prize finally.
B. It was related to its author's personal experiences.
C. Its film adaption was not well received at first.
D. It was published before the outbreak of WWII.
22. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word "handpicked" in the third paragraph
A. Trained. B. Criticized. C. Praised. D. Chosen.
23. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The heroic spirit presented by Robert Jordan.
B. The evaluation of the Spanish Civil War.
C. The literature value displayed in the novel.
D. The civilians' eagerness for love and peace
B
Extreme heat often brings extreme wildfires, and this year is no exception, with unprecedented heat waves fueling enormous outbreaks of fires in the western United States and Canada as well as across the Mediterranean and in Siberia. But paradoxically the most intense wildfires can have the opposite effect on temperatures, cooling Earth's surface both regionally and globally.
Dense wildfire smoke can temporarily block sunlight near the ground, causing regional temperatures to drop by several degrees. Wildfire smoke can also have global cooling effects by making clouds in the lower atmosphere more reflective or blocking sunlight in the upper atmosphere, similar to what a volcanic eruption does.
The effect is far too small to counteract（抵制, 抵消）human-caused global warming; researchers say its too early to predict what it means for the broader climate system. But with fire seasons growing more intense around the world and triggering a range of extreme fire weather in North America and elsewhere, the search for answers is growing increasingly urgent.
Smoke particles act as seeds for water vapor to form clouds that are smaller and reflect more sunlight. While smoke tends to rain out of clouds fairly quickly, the Australian bushfires raged for months, pumping more and more cloud-brightening smoke into the atmosphere. "It's not a big effect, but when you integrate over the entire Southern Ocean. it adds up, " one of the researchers says.
While this research highlights the cooling effects of smoke in the lower atmosphere, on occasion, wildfire smoke can reach even higher altitudes into the stratosphere, the layer that starts about 10 miles up. There, it can have additional effects on the climate. Smoke reaches the stratosphere when heat from a powerful wildfire creates an updraft that combines with moisture in the atmosphere to generate towering thunderclouds.
However, scientists have only recently begun studying these effects. "We might still be in the infancy of understanding how large and how important the effects of these wildfires are. "scientists say.
24. Where does the text probably come from
A. A geographic textbook. B. A research report.
C. A scientific magazine. D. A science fiction.
25. Which of the following statements in NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. Human has less influence on climate change than extreme weather.
B. Extreme heat boosts the outbreaks of fires in some areas.
C. Wildfire can be beneficial to the earth to some extent.
D. The cooling effects of smoke from wildfire is not limited to lower atmosphere.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The importance of wildfires is completely ignored.
B. Humans understanding of wildfires is still limited.
C. Scientists fully understand the effects of wildfires.
D. Wildfires are the consequences of global warming.
C
On Sept 15, the night sky in Cape Canaveral, Florida, US, lit up and the rumble（隆隆声）of engines of a 70-meter-tall Falcon 9 rocket set off car alarms. Atop that rocket was a group of four civilians in a Space X Crew Dragon spacecraft prepared to make history.
This is the first mission to Earth's orbit crewed entirely by tourists, or those not professionally trained as astronauts. For three days, the four civilians aboard the spacecraft traveled in orbit around Earth as part of the mission dubbed（被称为）Inspiration4. The name of the mission itself is fitting.
Late last year, the mission leader Jared Isaacman, a billionaire tech entrepreneur, announced that he would like to fund a spaceflight that differed from other billionaire space journeys. His would be part of an effort to raise funds for St Jude Children's Hospital.
"He knew he would be using those seats to carry out his mission objective of inspiring humanity while raising money for children's cancer research, "Scientific American wrote. In addition to Issacman, the crew included 29-year-old Hayley Arceneux, who is not only a childhood cancer survivor, but a current St. Jude physician assistant; Sian Procotor, 51, a geologist（地质学家）and community college teacher; and Chris Sembroski, a 42-year-old lifelong space fan who got his seat through an online raffle（抽奖活动）, CNN reported
This particular Dragon spacecraft did not visit the International Space Station, but it did reach 590 kilometers above Earth. This is "higher than the current orbit of the Hubble Space Telescope-an altitude that humans haven't reached since the Hubble servicing missions during the space shuttle program".
While there is certainly a long way to go before Space X achieves its goal of ferrying civilians to Mars at an accessible price, this mission is definitely making its mark on space travel-all for a good cause. According to CNN, at a press briefing on Sept 14, Sembroski told reporters that joining the Inspiration4 mission felt like"we're writing the rules, we're breaking a couple of them that NASA used to demand. …. We get to kind of do things our own way. "
27. What does the article tell us about Inspiration4
A. It's the first mission to take four people to Earth's orbit.
B. It aims to reach the orbit of the Hubble Space Telescope.
C. It is crewed by both tourists and professional astronauts.
D. It aims to inspire people and raise funds for a hospital.
28. What is a disadvantage of Space X
A. Its price. B. Its equipment.
C. Its carrying capacity. D. Its highest flight attitude.
29. What does Sembroski think of the mission
A. It is too restrictive. B. It is demanding. C. It is ground-breaking. D. It is flexible.
30. What's the main purpose of the article
A. To encourage civilians to travel to space.
B. To report on a significant journey to space.
C. To compare different space journeys in history.
D. To introduce the advantages of the Dragon spacecraft.

What is volunteer travel
Volunteer travel involves taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity helping others. Typically, the volunteer activity takes place in a foreign country, but some opportunities can involve national or regional projects. 31_________
Charitable interests often go far beyond national boundaries. People in developed countries become interested in the struggles of people in less developed countries. 32_________Volunteer travel is a way to combine a visit to a new location with meaningful work that has a direct impact on communities in other parts of the world.
33_________Historically, church groups made up a large part of this market. Once a year a religious organization or church would organize a trip to another country. 34_________For example, it would be to help build a school in an impoverished（贫困的）area, or dig wells so a village would have clean water, or engage in hundreds of other projects that would impact those less fortunate. As international travel became easier and the Internet made communication between countries much easier, the interest in volunteer travel increased.
35_________Volunteering in other countries has become as accessible as browsing a website and signing up. Instead of traveling with a group that is organized at the volunteers home base, the volunteer may join a group that gathers at the worksite from all over the world. This sort of volunteer travel is sometimes referred to as volunteerism or vacanteerism.
A. The primary purpose of the trip was very specific.
B. This type of travel has been an option for many years.
C. Educational institutions also made volunteer travel an option.
D. Sometimes, donating money is not enough to satisfy the need to help.
E. The Internet has helped make community service in general more popular.
F. These trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or non-profits. G A new trend is that for-profit tour operators arranging group travel around volunteer opportunities.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分））
阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
I have taught Spanish to thousands of students over my 36 years at Walpole High School in Walpole, Massachusetts. My students have ranged from the most academically gifted to the academically at-risk There is one young man, however, who in the course of his high school career surpassed everyone's expectations. His name is Vincent Lee.
Vincent entered my classroom as a nervous freshman on his first day of high school. He was enrolled in our Spanish course, a transition course for students who underperformed in Spanish I. In fact, Vincent had not had a lot of success in Spanish in middle school. His eighth grade teacher had described him as that "sad, introverted （内向的）boy in the last row who always kept his head down. "
Vincent often went to class unprepared and couldn't see the point of learning another language. And yet there were other reasons to explain this lack of motivation. Vincent was dealing with a lot of turmoil（混乱） in his life∶ the recent divorce of his parents, moving from a house to an apartment and much greater responsibility at home for helping his mom take care of his younger twin brothers.
From the very start of my course, I sensed an attitude that separated Vincent from his peers. He entered class each day, took his seat quietly and took out what he needed for the lesson. At first, he was somewhat shy about answering questions in Spanish, but as the course progressed, I was able to engage him in conversations about his family, his interests and his passions.
With time going by, Vincent became more willing to volunteer and even ask me questions. He seemed fascinated by the fact that my parents were from Costa Rica and that I was fluent in both English and Spanish. When he once asked how long it takes to become fluent in another language, I explained that it takes many years and that the first sign that a person has adopted the language as his own is when one dreams in that language.
