第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10个小题；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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
When our second child was born, Jim and I thought she was perfect, but the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward. “Left uncorrected, it would be a problem,” he told us.
We determined to do anything we could to help our baby. When only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts (矫正器), her precious baby toes just barely visible. Because she was growing, I had to take her back to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.
Finally, the casting was finished and it was time for corrective shoes. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk. Those first, awkward steps made us so proud. By the time she entered preschool, her steps appeared quite normal. Encouraged by her progress, we looked for something else to help strengthen her lower body.
When she turned six, we signed her up for skating lessons and soon she was sliding like a swan. We watched in amazement as she skated on the ice. She wasn't a perfect skater and she had to work hard at every new movement, but she loved the ice and her hard work paid off. At fifteen, she competed in both pairs-skating and the ladies' singles at the 1988 World Junior Championships in Australia, winning both events! At the senior World Championships in 1991, she won the ladies' singles. Then we found ourselves filled with love and admiration in France, at the 1992 Winter Olympics, as our daughter, Kristi Yamaguchi, won the gold medal.
We were proud of Kristi, respecting her strength and hard work, and how far she had come on two tiny feet that had once been in heavy casts. In our eyes, Kristi had always walked with the grace of a true champion.
1. What do we know about Kristi before she turned six
A. She still walked awkwardly when she entered preschool.
B. She was not likely to walk normally without foot correction.
C. She could walk normally as soon as the casting was finished.
D. She had her feet recast because of slow progress with walking.
2. Why did Kristi's parents sign her up for skating lessons
A. They expected her to be a champion.
B. They noticed her great interest in skating.
C. They enjoyed watching her sliding on the ice.
D. They hoped for further improvements to her feet.
3. What does Kristi's story tell us
A. Well begun is half done.
B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
B
As people in southern Florida prepared for Hurricane Irma, many included four-legged family members in their plans. Even with the best plans, though, pets can get lost in a natural disaster. Animal rescue organizations like ASPCA see an increase in lost animals after storms.
Some pets get frightened and run away. Others hide in places where their owners can’t find or reach them. Then, in the confusion of an evacuation, they get left behind. “We strongly suggest families should not evacuate without their pets. If it’s too dangerous for you, it’s too dangerous for your pet,” says Tim Rickey, vice president of Field Investigations and Response at the ASPCA.
An owner’s first and best defense against losing a pet is to have the animal microchipped (植入芯片) and registered. The cost of a microchip is around $50. Any vet (兽医)can put the microchip under the pet’s skin. Owners can then register the pet with the company that makes the microchip. There’s also a “universal” database (数据库)that will search all of the different chip companies. The human just has to provide contact information for the pet in the chip’s database, and then keep that information current. “All too often, people change phone numbers or they move, but they don’t remember to update their pet’s information,” Rickey says.
Other ways Rickey recommends depend on an owner’s knowledge of their pet. Does Fido or Fluffy tend to make a run for it when they get frightened Then it might be time to buy an extra-strong leash and collar, and keep an extra-close watch. If your pet prefers hiding, create a safe shelter for them that is also easy to be found. That way, you’ll know where to look first in case everyone needs to make a quick getaway.
4. What does the writer intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. Hurricane often hits southern Florida.
B. Pets are often left behind in natural disasters.
C. Pets are important members of many American families.
D. Rescue organizations are set up to help animals in danger.
5. What is the best way to avoid losing a pet according to Rickey
A. To create a secret hiding place for pets.
B. To have a good knowledge of natural disasters.
C. To keep the pet owner’s contact information unchanged.
D. To depend on the application of microchips and databases.
6. Where is the text most probably from
A. A magazine.
B. A brochure.
C. A biology book.
D. A scientific report.
C
Ten years ago, nine out of ten American families used cable (有线电视）or satellite. However, a little over half do so today. The fall of pay-TV, in the advance of online streaming (流媒体），has overturned the television industry and forced Hollywood companies like Disney to rethink their business model. And an increasing number of customers cut the cord from cable providers.
But it's not everywhere. Unlike Americans, Europeans are signing up for more cables and satellites than ever before. The market share of pay-TV in Britain will go beyond that in America this year, according to Ampere Analysis, a research company. In France and Germany it already has.
What has happened to American media missed Europe. But why One reason is price. America's cable industry may look competitive: the largest player, Comcast, has only a quarter of the market. But because it is highly localized, most homes have few choices, says Richard Broughton of Ampere. As a result, the average monthly cable cost is close to S100. British homes pay less than half the amount.
A second factor is content. American cable TV is running out of shows as studios move their best ones to their own streaming platforms(平台）. In Europe, where some streamers have yet to broadcast, pay-TV companies preserve the rights to many of the most popular titles.
The last reason Europe still favors cable is that American streamer's are partnering with European pay-TV companies rather than competing with them. In the race for viewers, the quickest way for streamers to rise quickly in Europe has been to join forces with satellite and cable. They are the ones with access to customers and the ability to deal with local marketing and ad sales.
Will cord-cutting eventually cross the Atlantic As long as Hollywood studios continue to allow European cable providers to play their programs, customers will have every reason to stick with pay-TV. In the long run, though, studios would rather bring viewers onto their own online streaming platforms, as in America.
7. What do the underlined words “cut the cord" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Change payment methods.
B. Refuse online streaming.
C. Stop buying pay-TV services.
D. Follow the business model.
8. How does the writer develop paragraph 2
A. By offering facts.
B. By giving explanations.
C. By sharing opinions.
D. By starting discussions.
9. One reason the cable industry is not yet greatly challenged in Europe is that
A. European pay-TV customers have limited choices
B. European pay-TV companies own rich show resources
C. European media companies have reached an agreement on price
D. European and American cable providers enjoy a close relationship
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The cable industry will be history in Europe in the near future.
B. Cable companies in Europe are worried about the present situation.
C. Hollywood programs contribute to the steady pay-TV market in Europe.
D. European customers refuse to accept American streamers into local markets.

Many people today think of the pyramids of Giza as the symbol of ancient Egyptian culture. But who actually built them For years, we did not know for sure. Now, however, archaeologists have discovered an ancient city near the pyramids. Close by, there is a cemetery (墓地) where the pyramid builders were buried. From studying these places, archaeologists are sure that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners.____11____
It took about 80 years to build the pyramids. Archaeologists believe that about 20,000-30,000 people took part in the construction. ____12____ Some dug up the rock, some moved it, and some shaped it into blocks. People also worked on different teams, each with its own name. Workers often competed to see whose team could do a job faster.
“We can see that in their skeletons(骨骼),” says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din, a scientist studying bones found in the cemetery. According to her research, the bones show signs of arthritis (关节炎)．____13____ Archaeologists have also found many female skeletons in the ancient city and cemetery. The damage to their bones is similar to that of the men.____14____ Male workers generally lived to age 40-45, but women to only 30-35. However, workers usually had enough food, and they also received medical care if they got sick or hurt.
____15____ On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote Friends of Khufu. “It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king,” says Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass. “They were building Egypt. It was a national project, and everyone was a part.”
A. It still remains a mystery.
B. Ordinary Egyptians built them.
C. The workers took on different roles.
D. In fact, their lives may have been even harder.
E. They worked on the same jobs but competed to be the best.
F. The task was challenging, but builders were proud of their work.
G. This probably developed from carrying heavy things for a long time.

【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Kristi因脚有问题，刚两周大时候就戴矫正器后来穿矫正鞋，在她六岁的时候，走路开始正常，后来Kristi父母给她报了滑冰课，她努力学滑冰，最终她的付出有所回报，她多次参加比赛并获得奖牌。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts (矫正器), her precious baby toes just barely visible.”(当她只有两周大的时候，我按照医生的指示，把她带到医院，医生给她的双脚装了矫正器，几乎看不见她那宝贵的婴儿脚趾了。)和第三段中的“Finally, the casting was finished and it was time for corrective shoes. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk. Those first, awkward steps made us so proud. By the time she entered preschool, her steps appeared quite normal”(最后，矫正完成了，到了矫正鞋的时候了。吉姆和我满怀希望和关切地看着她挣扎着走路。刚开始那些笨拙的脚步，让我们如此骄傲。当她进入幼儿园时，她的脚步看起来很正常。)可以推断出，在Kristi六岁前，她的双脚装了矫正器，后来又穿矫正鞋，这些脚部矫正使得她走路正常了，所以可以推断出，在Kristi六岁前，要是没有脚部矫正，她不可能正常行走，故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Encouraged by her progress, we looked for something else to help strengthen her lower body.”(在她进步的鼓舞下，我们寻找其他方法来加强她下半身的力量。)和第四段中的“When she turned six, we signed her up for skating lessons and soon she was sliding like a swan.”(她六岁的时候，我们给她报了滑冰课，很快她就像天鹅一样滑了起来。)可知，Kristi的父母她六岁的时候，给她报了滑冰课，这是为了加强她下半身的力量，结合上文提到的Kristi通过脚部矫正，走路开始正常，可以推断出，Kristi的父母给她报滑冰课，是为了加强她下半身的力量，进而希望进一步改善她的脚。故选D。
3.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“We were proud of Kristi, respecting her strength and hard work, and how far she had come on two tiny feet that had once been in heavy casts. In our eyes, Kristi had always walked with the grace of a true champion.”(我们为Kristi感到骄傲，敬佩她的力量和努力，敬佩她用那曾经戴过沉重矫正器的两只小脚获得了这么多成功。在我们眼中Kristi一直都是真正的冠军。)可知，文章主要讲述了Kristi因脚有问题，刚两周大的时候就戴矫正器后来穿矫正鞋，在她六岁的时候，走路开始正常，后来Kristi父母给她报了滑冰课，她努力学滑冰，最终她的付出有所回报，她多次参加比赛并获得奖牌。由此可以推断出，Kristi的故事告诉我们，只要坚定信念，努力付出，就一定会成功，D项“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.”(有志者事竟成。)符合，A. Well begun is half done.好的开始是成功的一半；B.Failure is the mother of success.失败是成功之母； C. The early bird catches the worm.一日之计在于晨，均不符，故选D。
B

Does Fido or Fluffy tend to make a run for it when they get frightened Then it might be time to buy an extra-strong leash and collar, and keep an extra-close watch. If your pet prefers hiding, create a safe shelter for them that is also easy to be found. That way, you’ll know where to look first in case everyone needs to make a quick getaway.
4. What does the writer intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. Hurricane often hits southern Florida.
B. Pets are often left behind in natural disasters.
C. Pets are important members of many American families.

C. To keep the pet owner’s contact information unchanged.
D. To depend on the application of microchips and databases.
6. Where is the text most probably from

Ten years ago, nine out of ten American families used cable (有线电视）or satellite. However, a little over half do so today. The fall of pay-TV, in the advance of online streaming (流媒体），has overturned the television industry and forced Hollywood companies like Disney to rethink their business model. And an increasing number of customers cut the cord from cable providers.
But it's not everywhere. Unlike Americans, Europeans are signing up for more cables and satellites than ever before. The market share of pay-TV in Britain will go beyond that in America this year, according to Ampere Analysis, a research company. In France and Germany it already has.
What has happened to American media missed Europe. But why One reason is price. America's cable industry may look competitive: the largest player, Comcast, has only a quarter of the market. But because it is highly localized, most homes have few choices, says Richard Broughton of Ampere. As a result, the average monthly cable cost is close to S100. British homes pay less than half the amount.
A second factor is content. American cable TV is running out of shows as studios move their best ones to their own streaming platforms(平台）. In Europe, where some streamers have yet to broadcast, pay-TV companies preserve the rights to many of the most popular titles.
The last reason Europe still favors cable is that American streamer's are partnering with European pay-TV companies rather than competing with them. In the race for viewers, the quickest way for streamers to rise quickly in Europe has been to join forces with satellite and cable. They are the ones with access to customers and the ability to deal with local marketing and ad sales.
Will cord-cutting eventually cross the Atlantic As long as Hollywood studios continue to allow European cable providers to play their programs, customers will have every reason to stick with pay-TV. In the long run, though, studios would rather bring viewers onto their own online streaming platforms, as in America.
7. What do the underlined words “cut the cord" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Change payment methods.
B. Refuse online streaming.
C. Stop buying pay-TV services.
D. Follow the business model.
8. How does the writer develop paragraph 2
A. By offering facts.
B. By giving explanations.
C. By sharing opinions.
D. By starting discussions.
9. One reason the cable industry is not yet greatly challenged in Europe is that
A. European pay-TV customers have limited choices
B. European pay-TV companies own rich show resources
C. European media companies have reached an agreement on price
D. European and American cable providers enjoy a close relationship
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The cable industry will be history in Europe in the near future.
B. Cable companies in Europe are worried about the present situation.
C. Hollywood programs contribute to the steady pay-TV market in Europe.
D. European customers refuse to accept American streamers into local markets.
【答案】7. C 8. A 9. B 10. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国使用有线电视或卫星电视的家庭越来越少，而欧洲恰恰相反，并分析了其原因。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词前文“Ten years ago, nine out of ten American families used cable (有线电视）or satellite. However, a little over half do so today. The fall of pay-TV, in the advance of online streaming (流媒体），has overturned the television industry and forced Hollywood companies like Disney to rethink their business model. (十年前，90%的美国家庭使用有线电视或卫星电视。然而，现在有一半多一点。在在线流媒体的推动下，付费电视的衰落颠覆了电视行业，迫使迪士尼等好莱坞公司重新思考自己的商业模式。)”可知，越来越多的客户停止购买付费电视服务。所以cut the cord为“停止购买付费电视服务”之意。故选C。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But it's not everywhere. Unlike Americans, Europeans are signing up for more cables and satellites than ever before. The market share of pay-TV in Britain will go beyond that in America this year, according to Ampere Analysis, a research company. In France and Germany it already has. (但并不是所有地方都是这样。与美国人不同的是，欧洲人正在签署比以往更多的有线电视和卫星。研究公司安培分析称，今年英国付费电视的市场份额将超过美国。在法国和德国，它已经做到了。)”可知，作者通过提供事实，介绍欧洲情况。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In Europe, where some streamers have yet to broadcast, pay-TV companies preserve the rights to many of the most popular titles. (在欧洲，一些流媒体还没有播出，付费电视公司保留了许多最受欢迎的节目的版权。)”可知，有线电视行业在欧洲还没有受到太大挑战的一个原因是欧洲付费电视公司拥有丰富的节目资源。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As long as Hollywood studios continue to allow European cable providers to play their programs, customers will have every reason to stick with pay-TV. (只要好莱坞制片厂继续允许欧洲有线电视提供商播放他们的节目，消费者就有充分的理由坚持付费电视。)”可推断，好莱坞节目对欧洲稳定的付费电视市场做出了贡献。故选C。

Many people today think of the pyramids of Giza as the symbol of ancient Egyptian culture. But who actually built them For years, we did not know for sure. Now, however, archaeologists have discovered an ancient city near the pyramids. Close by, there is a cemetery (墓地) where the pyramid builders were buried. From studying these places, archaeologists are sure that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners.____11____
It took about 80 years to build the pyramids. Archaeologists believe that about 20,000-30,000 people took part in the construction. ____12____ Some dug up the rock, some moved it, and some shaped it into blocks. People also worked on different teams, each with its own name. Workers often competed to see whose team could do a job faster.
“We can see that in their skeletons(骨骼),” says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din, a scientist studying bones found in the cemetery. According to her research, the bones show signs of arthritis (关节炎)．____13____ Archaeologists have also found many female skeletons in the ancient city and cemetery. The damage to their bones is similar to that of the men.____14____ Male workers generally lived to age 40-45, but women to only 30-35. However, workers usually had enough food, and they also received medical care if they got sick or hurt.
____15____ On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote Friends of Khufu. “It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king,” says Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass. “They were building Egypt. It was a national project, and everyone was a part.”
A. It still remains a mystery.
B. Ordinary Egyptians built them.
C. The workers took on different roles.
D. In fact, their lives may have been even harder.
E. They worked on the same jobs but competed to be the best.
F. The task was challenging, but builders were proud of their work.
G. This probably developed from carrying heavy things for a long time.
【答案】11. B 12. C 13. G 14. D 15. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了考古学家发现埃及金字塔并不是奴隶或者外国人所造，而是由当时的埃及人建造的。
【11题详解】
根据上句“From studying these places, archaeologists are sure that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners.(研究这些地方，考古学家发现金字塔不是奴隶或者外国人所造)”可知，空格处将进一步说明到底是谁建造的。因此B. Ordinary Egyptians built them.(是普通人建造的)符合语境。故选B。
【12题详解】
根据下句“Some dug up the rock, some moved it, and some shaped it into blocks.(一些人挖石头，一些人搬动，一些人打磨加工)”可知，人们分工不同。因此C. The workers took on different roles.(工人们分工不同)符合语境，故选C。
【13题详解】
根据上句“According to her research, the bones show signs of arthritis(关节炎).(根据她的研究，骨头表明他们有关节炎的迹象)”可知，空格处将阐述原因。因此G.This probably developed from carrying heavy things for a long time.(这可能是由于长期搬运重物所致)符合语境，故选G。
【14题详解】
根据下句“Male workers generally lived to age 40-45, but women to only 30-35.(男性通常活到40-45岁；但是女性仅仅活到30-35岁)”可知，女性当时的生活更加艰难。因此D. In fact, their lives may have been even harder.(事实上，她们的生活可能更艰难)符合语境，故选D。
【15题详解】
根据本段最后一句“They were building Egypt. It was a national project, and everyone was a part.(他们当时正在建设埃及，这不仅是国家工程，每一个人都在起作用)”可知，建设者们以此为荣，每个人都在努力。因此F. The task was challenging, but builders were proud of their work.(这个任务有挑战性，但是建设者们很自豪)符合语境，故选F。

【答案】She spoke English fluently in the interview, which made a deep impression on us.
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查时态、短语和从句。根据汉语提示，陈述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时；“说英语”表达为speak English，speak为主句谓语动词；“流利地”表达为fluently，修饰speak；“在面试中”表达为in the interview；“给我们留下了深刻印象”处理为非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子，且在从句中作主语，应用which；“给……留下深刻的印象”表达为make a deep impression on，make为从句谓语动词。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为：She spoke English fluently in the interview, which made a deep impression on us.

47. Simon经历多次失败，但他从未失去信心，最终成了最佳球员之一。（despite) （汉译英）
【答案】Despite many failures, Simon never gave up and finally became one of the top players.
【解析】
【详解】
考查介词、名词、时态、短语。根据提示词despite，表示“尽管”，这属于介词，后接名词作宾语，表示“多次失败”应用many failures，failure应用名词复数形式，所以despite many failures是介词短语作状语；表示“从不”应用否定副词never；表示“从未失去信心”应用never give up，其中give up是动词短语“放弃”；表示“最终”用副词finally；表示“成了”用系动词become；表示“……之一”用one of加名词复数，表示“最佳球员”应用the top player，这里应用复数。根据句意可知，时态用一般过去时，and连接两个并列分句。故翻译为Despite many failures, Simon never gave up and finally became one of the top players.
48. 学生中心正在举行一场关于学与玩之间该如何平衡的讲座。（keep a balance; deliver) （汉译英）
【答案】A lecture on how to keep a balance between study and play is being delivered in the Student Center.

【分析】
【详解】考查时态、语态、固定短语。“一场讲座”表达为a lecture，作主语；“关于”用介词on，“学与玩之间该如何平衡”表达为how to keep a balance between study and play；故“一场关于学与玩之间该如何平衡的讲座”表达为a lecture on how to keep a balance between study and play；“举行（讲座）”用deliver，它和主语lecture是被动关系，且结合语境，表示动作正在发生，应用现在进行时的被动语态；“在学生中心”表达为in the Student Center。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为：A lecture on how to keep a balance between study and play is being delivered in the Student Center.
【点睛】

【详解】考查时态、固定搭配和固定句型。根据句意可知，表示“做……是值得的”用固定句型it be+worthwhile to do/doing，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，所以be动词用is；“为了健康”用介词短语for health and fitness，作原因状语，放在句首；表示“每天”用every day；表示“花费时间做某事”用固定搭配spend +时间+(in) doing；表示“锻炼”用固定搭配work out，所以表示“进行半小时的锻炼”用spend half an hour (in) working out，“每天进行半小时的锻炼是值得的。”翻译为it is worthwhile to spend/spending half an hour (in) working out every day。故整句翻译为For health and fitness, it is worthwhile to spend/spending half an hour (in) working out every day.
50. 这些照片总会让我想起在祖父农场度过的童年。（remind) （汉译英）
【答案】The pictures/photos always remind me of the childhood (that/which) I spent on my grandfather’s farm.
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查时态、从句和固定短语。“这些照片”表达为the pictures/photoes，作主语；“让某人想起某事”表达为remind sb. of sth.，remind为谓语动词，结合语境判断为一般现在时；“在祖父农场度过的”可处理为修饰childhood“童年”的定语从句；“度过”表达为spend，作从句谓语动词，该动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时；从句缺少宾语，应用关系代词which/that引导，也可将它们省略；“在我祖父的农场”表达为on my grandfather’s farm。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为：The pictures/photos always remind me of the childhood (that/which) I spent on my grandfather’s farm.
