第二部分阅读理解（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
Many teens in high school want to try out for sports. A lot of them try out because they think it will make them popular or get them more dates. While this may seem like a silly reason, there are lots of other benefits to sports that your children may fail to notice.
With TV, movies, computers and video games becoming more and more popular, it has become so much easier for teens to be by themselves rather than going out with friends. Kids used to go hang out at the mall or drive around town; now they just sit at home. Getting your teens into a sport gives them a chance to go out and spend time with other people socially. While they may not find a new best friend, they will learn how to communicate with one another and work as a team and they’ll find something useful later in life.
More and more kids are becoming overweight. Joining a team sport will help teens get out and get some exercise without feeling pressured to lose weight or get in shape. What’s more, if your teens see that their physical condition is causing them to under-perform, they may be encouraged to do other activities to get healthy. By the time your children reach their teenager year, part of good parenting will be providing them with direction and encouragement and continuing to help them develop a healthy style of living.
These days, it’s becoming harder to show your teenagers that you love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up to their game, helping them practice, and helping with team fundraisers. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.
You may think “but my teen isn’t good enough to make their school team”. There are plenty of other places besides school to play team sports. You can always check out “for-fun” teams. You could look into more unknown sports that you may not have thought of, did you know that bowling is a NCAA team sports If you do a little research, you’re sure to find something your teen will enjoy.
Team sports are a great way for teens to get out of the house, get moving, make friends, and even get a scholarship to college. So why not talk to them about getting into sports today
After joining a sport, children may___________.
A. find little pressure in learning.
B. lose weight without any pressure.
C. be forced to do some exercise.
D. be provided with good parenting.
22. What does the underlined word “this” refer to
A. To help teens develop a healthy lifestyle.
B. To enable teens to know more about new places.
C. To show love to your teens.
D. To motivate teens to get healthy.
23. Why did the author write this passage
A. To introduce the advantages of sports for teens.
B. To encourage parents to join their children in sports.
C. To explain some non-competitive sports.
D. To stress the importance of teamwork in sports.

Candles were burning bright, exciting my two-year-old son, Jack, who moved forward to blow them out.
Jack’s third birthday was still a few months away but ever since his dad Gary’s big day earlier that year, my son hadn’t stopped talking about celebrating his own. His older brothers Oliver, 6, and Josh, 10, were happy to sing the birthday song with him.
But, over time, I grew concerned that Jack wasn’t well. My lovely boy was now a shadow of his former self. How could I ignore it, though doctors weren’t too concerned
One day I was at work and shared my fears with a colleague. She comforted me and said it was safe to be careful. When I returned home later, I packed a bag and prepared to take Jack to hospital.
At the hospital, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that bad news was coming, which was later confirmed. We were told he had a very rare form of cancer.
Jack was going downhill rapidly. Gary and I took it in turn to stay with him in the hospital.“Your birthday’s coming up,”I told Jack each day, hoping he could remember the times we had sung him happy birthday before.
“Jack’s only option is a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植), and a brother or a sister might be the best chance you have.” a doctor told us. “He can have my head if he needs it!” Josh cried. Oliver wasn’t as enthusiastic as his older brother, but it was a huge relief when he was confirmed as a match.
Doctors were cautious about saying Oliver might save Jack’s life in case it didn’t work as planned. To their relief, the result was comforting. They were moved by Oliver’s bravery.
Oliver, now seven, really did save his little brother and they’re now closer than ever.“I didn’t want to do it at the very beginning but at the end I kind of regretted feeling like that because now I know how important it was.” he said.
24．What mainly contributed to the earlier discovery of Jack’s illness
A．Doctors’ increasing concern. B．Jack’s discomfort after the party.
C．His mother’s natural power and love. D．His mother’s colleague’s reminding.
25．Why did Jack’s mother mention his birthday each day
A．To strengthen their memories. B．To encourage Jack to survive.
C．To prepare Jack for his birthday. D．To make Gary and herself relaxed.
26．What can we infer about Oliver
A．He hesitated to donate his stem cells at first.
B．He had a bad relationship with his brothers.
C．He envied his mother’s care of Jack.
D．He was braver than his older brother.
27．What is the passage mainly about
A．It’s never too late to save a life. B．Magic always comes from belief.
C．A brother in need is a brother indeed. D．The power to cure comes from the family.
C
In the United States alone, about 30% of all food that is harvested is thrown away. Often this food is not consumed due to early spoilage(腐烂).To arrive at harvest, produce must be grown through a strict agricultural process, which requires a great deal of resources including money, labor, water, and energy.
Hazel Technologies, a Chicago-based startup that created a small drop-in packet to keep bananas and other produce from turning prematurely brown, is starting to produce a lot of green. Having raised 70 million in a completed investment round, the 6-year-old company aims to launch their products in every major agricultural economy on Earth.
Hazel works with more than 160 companies across 12 countries. Its product delivers an odorless vapor (无味的气体) in sugar-packet sized inserts called sachets. When dropped in boxes of produce, the sachet can as much as triple (三倍) shelf life. Moreover, Hazel’s newly-funded MCP technology can increase the produce’s resistance to ethylene—a chemical promoting growth.
In addition to growers, several grocery chains use the Hazel product and service to keep produce fresher longer. This year, Hazel projects its product and service will be used with more than 6. 3 billion pounds of produce, preventing more than 500 million pounds from going to waste.
“The company said its profits, which tripled last year, are under market which for us is very, very large, ” said Mouat, CEO of the company. He expects Hazel to be in 20 countries by 2025, with international business accounting for 75% of annual income.
“It’s just a massive growing market opportunity,” said Tim Bluth, vice president at Pontifax Ag Tech, who praised the Hazel product for its ease of use and low cost. “And I think, most importantly,...it works.”
28．What is Hazel’s technology intended for
A．Extending shelf life of food. B．Enhancing food flavor.
C．Boosting food production. D．Quickening crop growth.
29．Where can you find Hazel's technical principle
A．In paragraph 2. B．In paragraph 3. C．In paragraph4. D．In paragraph 5.
30．What does Tim Bluth think of Hazel’s technology
A．Improvable. B．Unaffordable. C．Complicated. D．Promising.
31．What is the best title for this text
A．Hazel Hits World B．Hazel Meets Profits
C．Hazel Increases Sales D．Hazel Hates Waste
D
Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center mapped brain changes after a year of aerobic workouts and uncovered a potentially significant process: Exercise increases blood flow into two key areas of the brain associated with memory.
The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, showed this blood flow can help even older people with memory issues improve cognition, a finding that could guide future Alzheimer's disease research, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center.
In the study, researchers followed 30 participants who were 60 or older and had memory problems. Half experienced a year of aerobic exercise while the other half did stretches. “We've shown that even when your memory starts to fade, you can still do something about it by adding aerobic exercise to your lifestyle," said Binu Thomas, a senior research scientist of UT Southwestern Medical Center who led the study. "The aerobic exercise group showed a 47% improvement in some memory scores after a year; the other group showed slight change. Brain imaging of the aerobic exercise group, taken while at rest at the beginning and end of the study, showed increased blood flew into the specific brain areas that played important roles in memory function."
Many teams across the world are trying to determine if aerobic exercise might fight memory loss. Evidence is growing that it could at least play a small role in delaying or reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. For example, a 2018 study showed that people with lower fitness levels experienced faster retrogression of vital nerve fibers in the brain called white matter related to memory.
“Blood flow in the brain connected with memory improvement is still a part of the puzzle, and we need to continue piecing it together," Thomas says. "But we've seen enough date to know that starting a fitness program can have lifelong benefits for our brains as well as our hearts."
32．What is the study mainly about
A．Old people have memory issues.
B．Exercise improves memory.
C．Aerobic workouts benefit mental health.
D．Alzheimer's disease can be cured.
33．What happened to participants after one-year aerobic exercise
A．Earlier memories were refreshed. B．Memory scores showed very small change.
C．Brain imaging remained the same. D．More blood flew into memory-related areas.
34．What does the underlined word “retrogression“ mean in the fourth paragraph
A．Growth. B．Recovery. C．Decline. D．Expectation.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Further research work requires doing.
B．More people experience memory loss.
C．Mystery of brain blood flow has been solved.
D．Signs of memory loss can be discovered earlier.

Lighthouse Planning
Goal setting is an important part of staying active, focused and excited about the future.____36____
Some goals in our life are clear, simple and easy. For example, to make a homemade dinner every Sunday is such a type of goal for me. To achieve it, I only need to create a list of supplies to buy and set aside time in my schedule.
____37____ In terms of these goals, I love the idea of “lighthouse planning”. In this technique, we reach a goal by imagining it as a lighthouse in the distance. It’s dark as we get in our boats and we don’t know exactly how we’re going to get to that bright destination. But our lighthouse never stops flashing in the distance and it is never entirely out of sight. ____38____
Now think about your lighthouse and identify it.____39____ For example, you might set your goal as “I want to become more creative”. Identifying your lighthouse is a way to start your journey with big purposes.
But if you look around and realize that your lighthouse is getting farther away rather than closer, you should redirect your path to your lighthouse.____40____ If you’ve ever rowed a boat, you know there can be headwinds and storms along your journey. In that case, focus on the next spot on the horizon instead of powering through all the way to the end.
A．Just give it a try.
B．Don’t wear yourself out.
C．We can make a plan that will get us there.
D．A lighthouse-like goal is something broader.
E．So we start rowing in the direction of the light.
F．However, some goals in our life are bigger, and more challenging.
G．Having goals and keeping moving to them are part of walking a positive path.

DRUMMING WITH GRANDPA
Roger was filled with excitement as his mother told him his grandfather was on his way over. He always had fun together with his grandfather who once drummed in a band. They could make the whole house shake with their joyful music. Roger got excited and practiced drumming all morning.
Finally, Dad's car pulled up in front of the house. Upon hearing the car door opened. Roger shouted for joy from his bedroom window, "Hi, Grandpa! Listen to this!” Taking a deep breath, he raised his drumsticks and began rocking and rolling, just like Grandpa had taught him. Jumping up, he raced outside to his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what do you think Are you ready to drum together " Grandpa, giving Roger a hug, said, "It was wonderful, but I'm afraid I can't play right now.” Dad smiled at Roger, telling him some of Grandpa's finger joints were hurting him and that maybe he would want to play after a short rest. Roger didn't ask again.
After lunch, Roger went to his room to get his skateboard, finding someone had already stepped into the room. It was Grandpa who stood near the drum set. He picked up a drumstick and began to play. Thump! Thump! But just with two thumps, the drumstick fell onto the floor. Grandpa reached for it, trying to pick it up, but the drumstick fell out of his hand. He tried again and the same thing happened. Grandpa moved his red and swollen fingers, looking upset. Seeing this, Roger shut the door noiselessly. He walked to the sitting room where Dad was reading and asked Dad to drive him to his friend's house. "David has a drum with the pedal（踏板）and I'd like to borrow it," Roger told Dad about his plan. Dad got the car keys and off they went.

“Grandpa, a surprise!" Roger shouted when they returned with a big box. Roger led Grandpa to his room in delight. Dad followed, carrying the big box. With great joy Roger opened the box together with Dad. When Grandpa saw the drum with the pedal, his eyes were shining with excitement. “Grandpa, you can play this drum with your foot," Roger said and then pressed the pedal with his foot. The drumstick swung forward. Thump! Thump! Thump! The pedal worked smoothly and the thumps filled the whole room. “Would you like to have a try " Roger turned to Grandpa with his eyes full of expectation.
Slowly, Grandpa reached out his foot and pushed the pedal as Roger did. Thump! Thump! Grandpa smiled and continued with greater enthusiasm. “Join in, Roger!" Grandpa shouted to Roger excitedly and his cheerful voice was even louder than the drum rolls. Roger grinned from ear to ear as he picked up his drumsticks. He rocked and rolled, and so did Grandpa. With the drums beating merrily, their joyful music shook the whole house like before, not only the whole house, but also the hearts of the grand father and the grandson.
