第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Origins of Famous Brands
Our lives are full of brand names and trademarked products that we use every day. Although many brand names are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词) or versions of their founders names, some of the companies we trust every day actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.
Starbucks
It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship, but they eventually decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name instead.
Google
Google was originally called Backrub, for it searched for links in every corner of the Web. In 1997, when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology, a friend suggested the word “googol”. When a friend tried to register the new domain (域) name, he misspelled “googol” as “google”.
Nike
Originally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes, the company was originally named BRS, or Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, BRS introduced its own soccer shoe, a model called Nike, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of victory. In 1978, the company officially renamed itself as Nike, Inc.
The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as important as a great product. An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products.
21. What is the name of the Captain Ahab’s ship
A. Moby Dick. B. Starbucks. C. Pequot. D. Herman Melville.
22. Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name
A. They mistook their name.
B. They wanted new customers.
C. The company’s original name was too long.
D. The company’s search technology was improving rapidly.
23. Where does the importance of the origin story of one company lie in
A. It can change the company’s image.
B. It can add myth to the company.
C. It explains the development of the company to customers.
D. It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.
B
A 24-year-old female space commander has become a viral sensation on Chinese social media for her work.
Zhou Chengyu was in charge of the rocket connector system---described as a vital role. Her story in particular has drawn the public’s attention given her young age. Social media users have been celebrating her brilliance and referring to her as pride of the country.
Being the youngest of the team, Zhou Chengyu was born in 1996 in the province of Guizhou. She is certainly not “old” enough compared with her colleagues, but she is known at work as "Big Sister” as a sign of respect. Once in a 3-km running contest, she actually beat half of her male counterparts. Although work shifts are not uncommon at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site, each shift requires tremendous courage because of the different background knowledge. However, for Zhou Chengyu, she experienced multiple positions in 5 launching tests and now she is the youngest commander at the site.
Despite carefulness and high responsibility at work, she is just like her peers in normal life. Eating snacks and shopping are her favorite free-time activities. Her high school teacher remembers her as tough and determined. “She always had a dream of becoming scientist,” said her physics teacher.
According to her colleague, Zhou Chengyu was very surprised when she found out she went viral online. She said that she was happy when she saw people online regarding her as the pride of the country, and yet she kept saying that she was “nobody but normal worker at a launch site” and there are a lot more people just like her going unnoticed while doing the hardest job to guarantee a better future for the Chinese space program. She also said that she wished to remain her current status and continue doing her work with or without the popularity.
24. What makes Zhou Chengyu the pride of the country
A. Her young age. B. Her vital role in her work.
C. Her great courage. D. Her responsibility at work.

A. A Young Pride B. A Successful Colleague
C. An Extraordinary Dream D. An Ambitious Commander

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans
could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but
according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in
some situations—in an airplane crash, for example.
The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning
whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government
standards for airplane seat strength（强度）— first set more than 60 years ago — require that the
seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man
weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports:
“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a
crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the
University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be
overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat
belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the
uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”
Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price,and
whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article
brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with
the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts
agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies （人体模型）. Both airplane
seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.
Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National
Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a
commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.
28. What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with
A. The size of airplane seats and seat belts.
B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.
C. Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.
D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.
29. Robert Salzar would probably agree that ____________. .
A. overweight passengers should buy two seats
B. the government should help produce safer planes
C. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised
D. passengers should know how to protect themselves
30. We can learn from the text that ___________. .
A. airplane seat makers have taken action now
B. there are few complaints about airplane seats
C. those seats near the overweight may suffer too
D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying
B. Will 42% of Americans Be OVERWEIGHT BY 2030
C. When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight
D. Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight
D
People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over the counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.
So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it's easy to believe it's medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.
It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figure out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.
The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B. But they didn't find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.
''This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses,'' study leader Professor Ann C. Palmenberg at the University of Wiscons in Madison, US, told Science Daily.
Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.
With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don't really work.
32. What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold
A. They are quite effective. B. They are slightly helpful.
C. They actually have no effect. D. They still need to be improved.
33. How do antiviral drugs work
A. By breaking up cold viruses directly.
B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.
C. By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.
D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.
34. What can we infer from the passage
A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.
B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.
C. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.
D. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.
35. What is the best title for this passage
A. Drugs against cold viruses B. Helpful home remedies
C. No current cure for common cold D. Research on cold viruses

can get into your body.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it. I was ___41___ to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely ___42___ to use at first. I would ___43___ words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the ___44___ English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the words are ___45___ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such ___46___ to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are ___47___ in learning a foreign language.
As I ___48___, there is, in fact, often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two ___49___ in two languages. My aunt even ____50____ that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the ____51____ meaning of the word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better ____52____ of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what she ____53____ .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) ____54____ number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Homelessness is a tragic reality of the world we live in. While many believe that the people who live on the streets are there because they fail to put in enough effort, the truth is much more complex(复杂的). And it is important to realize that.
When Dominique Harrison-Bentzen, at age 22, found herself stranded(滞留) in the streets, she was saved by a homeless man. In an unbelievable act of kindness, the homeless man offered her his last remaining ￡3 so she could pay for a taxi to get home safely. “We met when I was trying to get home but I realized I had no money. I had lost my bank card after a night out. I suddenly realized that I had no money and I cried sadly. Then a dirty homeless man walked to me, which made me more scared. I didn’t know who he was and what he was going to do,” Dominique recalled. When she was about to run away, he stopped her and asked her if she needed help. “His smile was so kind that I believed him. After learning the truth, he comforted me and helped me with his only change of ￡3. He told me to take it to pay for a taxi to make sure I got home safely,” Dominique added.
“He doesn’t look like a bad guy. Why is he homeless ” Dominique thought. After a short conversation, Dominique found out that the kind man named Robbie had become homeless and jobless just 7 months before she met him. He got laid off from his job because of his illness. Since then, he had been doing part-time jobs. He worked hard. However, things were not getting better. The conditions of homelessness made it even more difficult to find stable(稳定的) jobs and get out of the streets. Despite it all, Robbie never lost his kindness. Many said that he came to their help in Preston city centre, returning lost wallets to walkers and offering his own scarf to keep others warm. Dominique was moved. Dominique didn’t take his money but his kindness left a lasting mark on her.
Paragraph 1：
Days later, Dominique vowed(发誓) she would help him back and she wanted to find him first._______________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Dominique wanted to change his life completely by raising money for him. _______________________________________________________________________________

Dear Mr.Black,
How is it going I am Su Hua, an exchange student from China. I am writing to tell you that I have got a great idea for the school newspaper. We can set a column named Chinese culture.
On one hand, China is one of the four ancient countries in the world with a long history. It has rich culture, such as printing, paper cutting and so on. We can benefit a lot from Chinese culture. On the other hand, it will be a good chance for exchange students to offer their help to the column.
If you think this is a good idea, we can make a start now. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Su Hua

参考范文
Para. 1: Days later, Dominique vowed(发誓) she would help him back and she wanted to find him first. But he was homeless and where could Dominique find him Even though finding him was not easy, Dominique never gave up. Luckily, Robbie’s kindness had left a mark on many others, which helped Dominique in finding him again after that meaningful meeting. She posted a video on her Tik Tok app explaining her situation to try to find him. People told her that the man was seen near Preston. “It took me four nights of driving round Preston to find him, and I succeeded,” she said.
Para. 2: Dominique wanted to change his life completely by raising money for him. She hoped that she could collect enough to get Robbie a room so that he can be safe and warm. At first, the goal was to raise ￡500 for Robbie — but the result was surprising. People got to know what had happened to Dominique and learned what a kind person Robbie was. They ended up raising ￡42k to Robbie, which was enough for him to treat his illness and live a normal life in the future.
