第二部分 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
TikTok, an app dominated by Gen Z, is the place for a lot of things: You can discover emerging designers, participate in dance challenges and even stream fashion shows. But there’s another space on TikTok that’s also taking off — let’s call it BookTok.
Digital book clubs are increasing in popularity on the app. Various “bookfluencers” are creating content around their favorite books, and developing accounts that are strictly devoted to book talk. The power of BookTok is not to be underestimated: Some TikTok book accounts, like @alifeofliterature, have featured old books and motivated them back onto best-seller lists, proving that Gen Z’s appetite for books is very much alive.
Surfing the app can be tiresome, but fear not: We have rounded up a selection of BookTok pages that are well worth a follow. Below are four bookfluencers to know.
@abbysbooks
Why to follow: This book devotee frequently offers her recommendations, and makes funny TikToks about trying to find comfortable positions to read in and what happens after she’s done with a novel.
@thebooksiveloved
Why to follow: This bookfluencer’s quick-fire book reviews are entertaining and honest. She’ll take a book like Angeline Boulley’s Firekeeper’s Daughter and attract you to pick it up. She also offers handy tips on how to save money when buying books.
@24hourlibrary
Why to follow: This page works a bit like a 24-hour librarian who’s always around to help with a suggestion. Plus, the user gives advice on how to read multiple books at once and how to get a copy of a book before it’s released.
@aymansbooks
Why to follow: Her page’s tagline (口号) is “shut up and read”, and its TikToks give you everything you need to do so. She has highlighted books with Middle Eastern and Southern Asian representation.
21.Why does the author mention “@alifeofliterature” in paragraph 2
A.To predict the potential of TikTok. B.To explain what to expect of BookTok.
C.To illustrate how influential BookTok is. D.To show the importance of bestseller lists.
22.What can viewers do through the four bookfluencers
A.Sell eye-catching products. B.Vote for their favorite books.
C.Download their literary picks. D.Learn more about book reading.
23.Which bookfluencer offers ways to enjoy a book in advance of its publication

C.@24hourlibrary. D.@aymansbooks.
B
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
24.What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about
A.The meaning of success. B.The reasons for success.
C.The standards of success. D.The importance of success.
25.Why do successful people suggest doing what one loves
A.Work makes one feel pain. B.One tends to enjoy his work.
C.One gives up his work easily. D.It takes a lot of time to succeed.
26.What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B.Successful people like to show their great skills.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It’s helpful to think that luck or talent leads to success.
27.What is the main theme of the passage
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
D.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
C
Why do people lie Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood. There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.
As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological lying.
Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals pretend to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.
28. What does the underlined word "reprimand'' in Paragraph 1 mean
A. satisfy B. criticize C. discourage D. praise
29. Why is Pathological lying a disease
A. Because the patients can't help lying.
B. Because the patients lose interest in everything.
C. Because the patients are critical about themselves.
D. Because the patients have the urge to please others.
30. What are patients suffering pathological lying most likely to do
A. They really want to play jokes on others.
B. They often suffer from some other diseases.
C. They usually want to show off themselves by making some statements.
D. They always like making up pleasing stories.
31. How does the writer explain pathological lying
A. By showing some typical examples.
B. By predicting the future consequences.
C. By analyzing its causes and development.
D. By listing a group of phenomena.
D
A decade ago, at the end of my first semester teaching at Captain, my student Jack stopped by for office hours. He sat down and burst into tears. My mind started cycling through a list of events, that could make a college junior cry: His girlfriend had broken up with him; he had been accused of cheating in exams; he forgot to turn in papers before the deadlines.“I just got my first A minus," he said.
Year after year, I watch in depression as students are crazy about getting straight A’s. Some sacrifice their health; a few have even tried to charge their school after falling short. They believe top marks are a ticket to elite(精英的) graduate schools and rewarding job opportunities. I was one of them. I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0. It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower, showing that I had the right things to succeed. But I was wr0ng.
The evidence is clear: Across industries, research shows that the association between grades and job performance is. modest in the first year after college and insignificant within a handful of years. For example, at Microsoft, once employees are two or three years out of college, their grades have no bearing on their performance. (Of course, it must be said that if you got D's, you probably wouldn't end up at Microsoft)
Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity, leadership and teamwork skills, or social, emotional and political intelligence. Yes, straight A students master large amounts of information and reproduce it in exams. But career. success is rarely : about finding the right solution to a problem- -it' s more about finding the right problem to solve. This might explain why Steve Jobs finished high school with a GPA of 2.65, and Martin Luther King Jr got only one A in his four years at Morehouse.
32.Why did Jack feel sad
A.He failed to get. straight A's
B.He was caught cheating in exams.
C.His girlfriend abandoned him.
D.He didn't hand in his papers in time.
33.What did the author once believe
A.It was wrong to care too much about marks.
B.Falling short was school’s fault.
C.Top marks meant well - paid job offers.
D.Marks didn't reflect willpower and brainpower.
34.Why are the employees at Microsoft mentioned
A.To indicate academic performance is important,
B.To stress the company values employees with top marks.
C.To show academic excellence isn't a strong predictor of career performance.
D.To introduce successful examples in the technology industry.
35.According to the text, what should people focus more on to succeed
A.How to solve a problem. B.What problem to be solved.
C.How to be a creative leader. D.What to do with detailed information.

He told us to consider the 59 in the price “an early wedding present.”

Bicycle Sharing
With the development of technology， bicycle sharing comes into people's lives. It becomes more and more popular and much news reported it.
Bicycle sharing makes it very convenient for people to travel. You can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation，which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well. However，bad things happen. Some people park the bikes randomly after using them, causing a lot of traffic problems. What’s worse, some even damage the bikes deliberately.
In my opinion, measures should be taken to solve the problems. Firstly，the government should make strict laws and rules to regulate the operation and management of bicycle sharing system. Secondly，the public should raise their awareness of protecting the shared bikes.
