第一部分 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。
A
With its snow-covered mountains and a variety of wildlife, Yellow Stone National Park is one of the scenic treasures of the United States. Located primarily in Wyoming, the park hosts millions of visitors every year. If you plan to travel within the park, keep in mind advice from the National Park Service.
Seasonal Travel
Travel varies vastly from season to season. Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides, wild fires, accidents or road construction. Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily. In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles, but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed. Roads begin to open for the spring by the latter part of April but can close if snowfall continues.
Driving Time
Grand Loop is the main road through Yellowstone National Park; it passes by most of the major attractions. These include Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour, but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisting sections of this narrow road. Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and being sometimes stuck in heavy traffic.
Safety Awareness
Buffalo（水牛）often block the roads in the park as they move through the fields. If a group is traveling across the road you are on, you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route. If you get out of your vehicle, the National Park Service says to stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves). Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to 30 mph.
You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes, but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders. Altitudes range from 5, 300 to 8, 860 feet. The National Park Service recommends cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.
1. What do we know about travelling in the Yellowstone Park
A. Roads will stay open in case of emergency.
B. Traffic jam happens from time to time.
C. The driving speed on the road can be 50 mph.
D. Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.
2. What does the National Park Service suggest people do about safety
A. Stay inside the car throughout the travel.
B. Get out of their vehicles when coming across the Buffalo.
C. Wear the easy-to-see clothes while bicycling.
D. Avoid bicycling on the public roads.
3. From which is the text probably taken
A. A guidebook B. A commercial advertisement.
C. A research paper. D. A geography textbook.
B
If you visit the new mummies(木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH) in New York City, don't miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s—about 2,000 years ago—in ancient Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(头骨). And yet, the mummy's coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT (扫描仪) to look inside.
CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.
"A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies' coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies," says the AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. "We just don't do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient person's diet from some of a mummy's hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom."
Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor (祖先).
The 19 mummies in the show were from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear and smell. In ancient Peru, people practised mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.
Futter calls the mummies in the show "messengers from another time". With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies' secrets so we can understand it.
1.What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady
A.She was a great artist. B.She died of a natural death.
C.She lived in ancient Egypt. D.She had an amazingly long life.
2.What do Futter's words suggest
A.Pieces of bone show a person's diet.
B.CT scanners do great harm to mummies.
C.Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.
D.Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.
3.Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies
A.To do traditional medical research. B.To keep close ties with their relatives.
C.To help their families live a better life. D.To let their ancestors live on in another world.
4.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to
A.The technology. B.Their message. C.Their family. D.The show.
C
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking, although fewer than running, which would probably bum about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
1.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A.They must run long distances. B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules. D.They are good at swinging their legs.
2.What advantage does race walking have over running
A.It's more popular at the Olympics. B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's more effective in body building. D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
3.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking
A.Getting experts' opinions. B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach. D.Doing regular exercises.
4.Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking
A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.
D
The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local conditions, economic conditions for example. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries. History has witnessed the endless production of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert hall, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today's popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries in the future.
In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because "the general principles of tastes are uniform(— 致的) in human nature," the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after 2,000 years. Works of this type, he believed, represented deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
1.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism
A.It introduces different cultural values.
B.It relates artistic values to local conditions.
C.It explains the history of artistic works in detail.
D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.
2.What does the author intend to show by mentioning the artists in Paragraph 2
A.The charm of great art is universal and lasting.
B.Popular art is hardly different from great art.
C.Great artists are skilled at combing various cultures.
D.Great art refers to works of popular arts in the beginning.
3.According to Hume, what's the reason that some works of art can exist for centuries
A.They are results of scientific study.
B.They establish general principles of art.
C.They are created by the world's greatest artists.
D.They reflect unchanging features of human nature.
4.Which of the following serves as the best title of the passage
A.Is Popular Art Universal B.Is Human Nature Uniform
C.Is Great Art Permanent D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last week after my motorcycle crashed on the freeway, I wanted only two simple things from technology: to call 911 and tell loved ones where I could be found. ①_______When she opened Google Maps, she could see precisely where I was.
For years, tech companies have offered different ways for people to tell one another where they are. ②_______ If used carelessly, location tracking may hurt your privacy. But used thoughtfully, it can be a powerful and efficient communication tool. ③_______
·When you make plans to meet friends somewhere like a movie theater, get in the habit of sharing your location for a short duration, like an hour. This way you can skip saying things like “ I’m on my way” or “ I’m running a few minutes behind” because people can simply follow you on the map.
·④_______Location sharing can be useful for being thoughtful (考虑周到的) of your partner’s time and space. For example, I am less likely to text my partner when I see she is at the office or driving on a freeway, but I will text when I see she is at the grocery store to ask her to pick something up.
·Next time you plan an event at a large outdoor space, do your friends a favor: ⑤_______Wandering around aimlessly in a crowded open space can be annoying.
A. Here are my suggestions for the best times to use it.
B. For safety reasons, avoid sharing your location publicly.
C. Use an app to share your current location so they can find you.
D. Consider sharing your location occasionally with your partner.
E. There are many ways for third parties to find out where we were.
F. Yet location tracking has caused disagreement for the last decade.
G. Before calling 911, I texted my partner who was already tracking my location with an app.

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。
When Lisa was a little girl, she learned an important lesson from her father. Her father told her that when she faced a problem, she should try another solution instead of giving up. In the following years, Lisa always remembers her father's words.
When Lisa was little, she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer after growing up. It was always her dream. But it was not an easy road.
After leaving college, Lisa went to Paris with her designs in order to make her dream come true. In Paris, she tried to talk to famous designers and show them some of her designs, but none of them showed any interest.
Though Lisa was discouraged, she didn't give up. One day, at a friend's party, she was introduced to a young lady who was dressed in a beautiful knitted(针织的)sweater. It wasn't a fancy color, but it did have very special stitches (编织法). Lisa asked that lady if she knitted it herself after talking with her for a while. The lady said it was the work of a lady in Paris.
Lisa really loved the special stitches and wanted to include them in her designs. And then Lisa had an even braver idea. "Why not own a fashion store of my own That way, I could design, make and sell my own clothes," she thought. So she decided to begin with that kind of sweater.
Later Lisa's friend introduced her to Madam Dean who knitted that sweater. The lady was from Armenia and she learned to knit that kind of sweater from people in her country.
Lisa drew a picture of a sweater and asked Madam Dean to knit the sweater for her. Madam Dean agreed. One week later, Lisa got the sweater. The following day after Lisa received it, she wore it to a party in the fashion industry.
Lisa was very nervous but she was lucky. Not long after the party began, her sweater drew the attention of a store owner from New York. She wanted to order forty such sweaters in two weeks. Lisa was really happy and accepted the order.
Paragraph 1 :
The next day, Lisa told the good news to Madam Dean. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Lisa then remembered her father's words.

If you visit the new mummies(木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH) in New York City, don't miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s—about 2,000 years ago—in ancient Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(头骨). And yet, the mummy's coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT (扫描仪) to look inside.
CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.
"A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies' coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies," says the AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. "We just don't do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient person's diet from some of a mummy's hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom."
Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor (祖先).
The 19 mummies in the show were from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear and smell. In ancient Peru, people practised mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.
Futter calls the mummies in the show "messengers from another time". With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies' secrets so we can understand it.
1.What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady
A.She was a great artist. B.She died of a natural death.
C.She lived in ancient Egypt. D.She had an amazingly long life.
2.What do Futter's words suggest
A.Pieces of bone show a person's diet.
B.CT scanners do great harm to mummies.
C.Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.
D.Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.
3.Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies
A.To do traditional medical research. B.To keep close ties with their relatives.
C.To help their families live a better life. D.To let their ancestors live on in another world.
4.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to
A.The technology. B.Their message. C.Their family. D.The show.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking, although fewer than running, which would probably bum about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
1.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A.They must run long distances. B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules. D.They are good at swinging their legs.
2.What advantage does race walking have over running
A.It's more popular at the Olympics. B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's more effective in body building. D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
3.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking
A.Getting experts' opinions. B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach. D.Doing regular exercises.
4.Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking
A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.
D
The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local conditions, economic conditions for example. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries. History has witnessed the endless production of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert hall, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today's popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries in the future.
In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because "the general principles of tastes are uniform(— 致的) in human nature," the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after 2,000 years. Works of this type, he believed, represented deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
1.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism
A.It introduces different cultural values.
B.It relates artistic values to local conditions.
C.It explains the history of artistic works in detail.
D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.
2.What does the author intend to show by mentioning the artists in Paragraph 2
A.The charm of great art is universal and lasting.
B.Popular art is hardly different from great art.
C.Great artists are skilled at combing various cultures.
D.Great art refers to works of popular arts in the beginning.
3.According to Hume, what's the reason that some works of art can exist for centuries
A.They are results of scientific study.
B.They establish general principles of art.
C.They are created by the world's greatest artists.
D.They reflect unchanging features of human nature.
4.Which of the following serves as the best title of the passage
A.Is Popular Art Universal B.Is Human Nature Uniform
C.Is Great Art Permanent D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific

Last week after my motorcycle crashed on the freeway, I wanted only two simple things from technology: to call 911 and tell loved ones where I could be found. ①_______When she opened Google Maps, she could see precisely where I was.
For years, tech companies have offered different ways for people to tell one another where they are. ②_______ If used carelessly, location tracking may hurt your privacy. But used thoughtfully, it can be a powerful and efficient communication tool. ③_______
·When you make plans to meet friends somewhere like a movie theater, get in the habit of sharing your location for a short duration, like an hour. This way you can skip saying things like “ I’m on my way” or “ I’m running a few minutes behind” because people can simply follow you on the map.
·④_______Location sharing can be useful for being thoughtful (考虑周到的) of your partner’s time and space. For example, I am less likely to text my partner when I see she is at the office or driving on a freeway, but I will text when I see she is at the grocery store to ask her to pick something up.
·Next time you plan an event at a large outdoor space, do your friends a favor: ⑤_______Wandering around aimlessly in a crowded open space can be annoying.
A. Here are my suggestions for the best times to use it.
B. For safety reasons, avoid sharing your location publicly.

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。
When Lisa was a little girl, she learned an important lesson from her father. Her father told her that when she faced a problem, she should try another solution instead of giving up. In the following years, Lisa always remembers her father's words.
When Lisa was little, she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer after growing up. It was always her dream. But it was not an easy road.
After leaving college, Lisa went to Paris with her designs in order to make her dream come true. In Paris, she tried to talk to famous designers and show them some of her designs, but none of them showed any interest.
Though Lisa was discouraged, she didn't give up. One day, at a friend's party, she was introduced to a young lady who was dressed in a beautiful knitted(针织的)sweater. It wasn't a fancy color, but it did have very special stitches (编织法). Lisa asked that lady if she knitted it herself after talking with her for a while. The lady said it was the work of a lady in Paris.
Lisa really loved the special stitches and wanted to include them in her designs. And then Lisa had an even braver idea. "Why not own a fashion store of my own That way, I could design, make and sell my own clothes," she thought. So she decided to begin with that kind of sweater.
Later Lisa's friend introduced her to Madam Dean who knitted that sweater. The lady was from Armenia and she learned to knit that kind of sweater from people in her country.
Lisa drew a picture of a sweater and asked Madam Dean to knit the sweater for her. Madam Dean agreed. One week later, Lisa got the sweater. The following day after Lisa received it, she wore it to a party in the fashion industry.
Lisa was very nervous but she was lucky. Not long after the party began, her sweater drew the attention of a store owner from New York. She wanted to order forty such sweaters in two weeks. Lisa was really happy and accepted the order.
Paragraph 1 :
The next day, Lisa told the good news to Madam Dean. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Lisa then remembered her father's words.
