三、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，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Life experiences can show one’s “grit”（坚韧）. Complex challenges early in life helped the following people develop skills that got them to the top of their professions.
Ursula Burns, Chairwoman, VEON; Former CEO, Xerox
Her family was so poor that her single mother traded office cleaning for health care. But Burn’s early gift for maths won her a scholarship and an internship at Xerox, where she would compete her way to the top. “I’m a black lady from the Lower East Side,” she says, “Not a lot scares me.”
Howard Schultz, Executive Chairman, Starbucks
Schultz grew up in public housing in Brooklyn, surrounded by poverty, and was the first in his family to go to college (on a football scholarship). After training in sales, he set up the company that would later buy Starbucks. “In the course of the year I spent trying to raise money, I spoke to 242 people, and 217 of them said no.” he said.
Sean Combs, CEO, Sean John
Combs began a generation of hip-hop talent and made a lasting influence on fashion. But the story could have turned out much differently: His drug dealer father was killed when he was 3. “It made me work even harder.” he recently said.
Gelsha Williams, CEO, PG&E
Her parents fled Cuba when Williams was 5. By 7, she was her parents’ main translator in talks with lawyers and accountants at grocery stores they owned. The experience did help her. “I went from thinking I could be a manager to thinking I could do something much bigger.” she told Fortune.
31. Who did best in math at school
A. Combs. B. Burns. C. Schultz. D. Williams.
32. How did the death of Comb’s father influence him
A. It made him a failure. B. He became a drug dealer.
C. It made him even stronger. D. He became a hip-hopper.
33. What can we learn from the passage
A. Cuba is a good place to do business.
B. No one wanted to help Schultz at first.
C. Poor family kids can be successful easily.
D. Difficulty in life pushed Williams forward.
B
For quite some time I have had an interest in the situation of the homeless. I have read about it, prayed over it, and have done small things to help. But feeling that I could, and should, do more to make a difference, I concluded that living as a homeless man - at least for a very brief period - was the best way to understand what it’s like to have no place to call home.
I decided that St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church would be my first stop. Since the church opens its basement to homeless people every Friday for a hot meal. St. Vincent’s was symbolically a very good place to start my day as a homeless man.
After praying before the Blessed Sacrament, I hit the subfreezing streets with no money. I got into a line of men, women and children waiting to be admitted into the dining room where a free hot meal is served every day.
From there I walked to Health Care for the Homeless - an organization dedicated to providing free medical care to people who have no permanent residence. Inside were about 75 homeless women and men waiting to be seen by a nurse. There I spoke with an older man who had serious family problems that caused his homelessness.
Next, I stopped at a hotel and fast-food restaurant asking if they were hiring. From there I walked the streets of downtown Baltimore asking people for a little loose change to buy a cup of coffee. I politely approached approximately 35 people. About 30 of them ignored me, and said they didn’t have any money, or simply said no. But five people did offer me a small donation. I explained what I was doing, and thankfully declined their generosity.
Later that night, as I walked back to my vehicle, I realized that I was a richer person for having lived one day as a homeless man. I thought about the homeless men and women I encountered, and their problems.
34. Why did the author decide to make a start from the church
A. Only it offered the homeless a hot meal.
B. It impressed the author in many ways.
C. It had a routine of opening to the homeless.
D. Many homeless people were allowed to live in the basement.
35. What did the author do while he was in Health Care for the Homeless
A. He had a word with a homeless man.
B. He helped an older man with family problems.
C. He knew it was too miserable to have no money.
D. He had a hot meal with some women and children.
36. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph
A. The author worked a few hours in the restaurant.
B. People should have cared about the homeless more.
C. No food restaurants agreed to hire a homeless man.
D. Very few people looked down upon the homeless.
37. What would the author most probably do in the future
A. He would treasure what he had got in life.
B. He would spend more time with the homeless.
C. He would find a better way to help the homeless.
D. He would frequently invite the homeless to his home.
C
Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.
“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures”, she said. “They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”
Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant differences between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.
Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mother’s back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species（物种）out there that is meaningful in its communication, so humans are not the only species with this ability,” said Dr Hobaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”.
“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains.”
38. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter
A. Memorizing specific words. B. Understanding complex information
C. Using voices to communicate. D. Communicating messages on purpose.
39. What did Dr Shultz think of the study
A. It was well designed but poorly conducted.
B. It was a good try but the findings were limited.
C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.
40. What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean
A. Difference. B. Conflict. C. Balance. D. Connection.
41. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough
B. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills
C. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdom
D. Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated
D
I start every summer with the best intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip, “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes（册）, then decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy”. There’s always War and Peace, which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite - once more into “The Waves” or “Justine”, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.
And then there’s Stendhal’s “The Red and the Black”, which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail（鸡尾酒）of the summer, created by Michael Ceccomi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Ciccone’s theory: “I take whatever’s fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids...
42. What can infer about the author from the first paragraph
A. He has a cottage in New England. B. He shows talents for literature.
C. He enjoys reading when traveling. D. He admires a lot of great writers.
43. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Get confused. B. Be carried away.
C. Be interrupted. D. Make no progress.
44. Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating
A. He finishes them quickly.
B. He should read something serious.
C. He barely understands them.
D. He has read them many times before.
45. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Books of Summer. B. My Summer Holidays.
C. To Read or Not to Read. D. It’s Never Too Late to Read.

Mountain
A mountain is a landform that rises high above its surroundings. Taller than a hill, it usually has steep slopes（坡）and a rounded or sharp peak. Mountains are rarely found alone. ___46___ Lines of ranges form mountain belts.
Some mountains were formed by the activity of volcanoes. Scientists believe that most volcanic mountains are made up of rock that melted deep within earth. The rock rose through Earth’s surface, or crust（地壳）. It then flowed onto the surface in the form of lava. ___47___ Volcanic mountains are typically steep. Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and Mount Rainier in the United States are examples of volcanic mountains.
Other mountains were formed by movements within Earth’s crust. The theory called plate tectonics（板块构造论）explains this type of mountain building. Earth’s crust is divided into huge pieces called plates, which move very slowly. The continents sit on top of the plates and move with them. At times the plates strike against each other, forcing the rock upward. The Himalayas of Asia are an example of this type of mountain chain. ___48___
Mountain ranges are natural barriers to travel. Roads are difficult to build across them. Railroads need expensive tunnels to cross even low mountains. ___49___ They often form borders between countries.
Life is hard in mountain lands. The high places of the world are cold and have little soil, making farming difficult. ___50___ Skiing and climbing are popular mountain sports.
A. Groups of mountains are called ranges.
B. However, many mountain areas are vacation spots.
C. The lava, along with volcanic dust, built up to form mountains.
D. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains.
E. Thus the continental crust is normally much thicker under mountains.
F. Therefore Mountain ranges tend to divide the people on either side of them.
G. They were formed when a plate carrying India struck the Asian plate.
