第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
(共15题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A, B,C或D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When asked to point out one or two things that are the most important to themselves, many people put friends before homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that decides who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want—an end to the friendship. oThe good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way, Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, say sorry when you're wrong—even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the greatest people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be the best if the wronged person takes the lead and says sorry. When you say sorry, give your friend a chance to admit that he or she has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. Finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion consider friendship an honor and a gift, and that it is worth the effort to treasure.
21.Which of the following is the most important to many people
A.Jobs B.Clothes C.Homes D.Friends

A.Say sorry first B.Change our lifestyles
C.Avoid making mistakes D.Stick to our own points of view
B
One day when I was five, my mother scolded me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry movement to open the screen door with my foot, I had kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking for such behavior. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door be, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly remind me of my mistake. For years I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all.
My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for my behavior delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
24.The underlined word “ remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably means_____________.
A.injury B.sense
C.regret D.notice
25.When the author damaged the door, his parents_____________.

B.He found that his family members no longer liked him.
C.He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.
D.He felt he had to work hard to make up for the damage.
27.What is the main idea of this text
A.Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
B.What the best way to become a more patient person is.
C.Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
D.Parents are the best teachers of their children.
C
You probably have a first-aid kit at home for your family—but what about your family pets?You need to be ready if your furry friend faces an emergency at home. What's more,as the weather gets warmer,more pet owners take their pets with them when they leave the house—on vacation,to the park,jogging,hiking and even swimming. That can be fun for you and your pet,but there's a chance that your pet will get hurt there,as well. So,it's important to know some of the basics of first aid for your pet if necessary.
If your pet is exposed to long periods of heat and sunlight,she will be easy to get heat exhaustion(衰竭)or heatstroke. Signs of heat exhaustion are breathless,anxiousness,dry gums and red skin most easily seen on the ears.
If either of these occurs,cool the pet right away and,as always,get her to the vet(兽医).Put the animal in a shaded or air-conditioned area,and wet the body with cool water. Rubbing isopropyl alcohol(异丙醇)on the belly and fanning the area will help drive away the heat. If a pet is suffering from heatstroke,don't try to give her water. Get her to the vet immediately.
If you see an animal that's been hit by a car,or you hit one accidentally,first be cautious of all oncoming traffic before trying to reach the animal. Approach carefully. Even a severely injured animal can bite you.
As someone helps with directing traffic, cover the animal with a blanket or towel. If the animal cannot stand on her own, there's a good chance that there are neck, back or head injuries, so try to gently transfer the animal to a flat surface. Then transport that flat surface to the nearest vet. Picking up or hand-carrying the animal may worsen the injuries.
28.What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A.It is dangerous to keep pets outside.
B.It is necessary to prepare for pets' first aid.
C.It is fun to bring pets while you go out.
D.It is possible for pets to run away from home.
29.If a pet suffers from heatstroke, what should you do
A.Wet her body with cold water.
B.Make her drink some alcohol.
C.Bring her to the vet at once.
D.Freeze her in an air-conditioned area.
30.How can you help an animal injured in an accident
A.By running to help her immediately.
B.By carrying her in your hands to the vet.
C.By picking her up in a gentle way.
D.By sending her to the vet on a flat surface.
31.The underlined word "transfer" in the last paragraph may mean" ________ ".
A.move B.trap
C.feed D.drive
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.Extension.
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.

Nevertheless, when Mike saw it on the table, he got a spoon and started to eat quickly. In a moment, his face was red, and there was a strange feeling on his tongue. Mike had burned it. Immediately, Mike shouted in pain and his mother asked him, "What is the matter "
"Mother, help me! I think my tongue is going to fall off! Send me to see the doctor. " Mike screamed crazily.

One possible version:
Then his father and Mike went to the hospital. When they arrived there, Mike tried to tell the doctor his problem, but Mike could not do it because he was very nervous. His father did it for him. Mike does not remember his father's words exactly, but he said something like, “Doctor, I think my son burned his tongue, because he ate a pretty hot dish. ” “Open your mouth,” the doctor said after he'd heard his father's words.
Mike did it slowly. He looked at his tongue for a long time. "Do not worry, little guy. Your tongue is very hot, but it will not fall off," the doctor finally said. When the doctor said that, his father started laughing happily. Soon the doctor was also laughing. He was embarrassed.
However, Mike was happy because his tongue would not fall off. Mike has learned one important thing since that day. Patience is a great virtue. Mike thinks this is the funniest experience that he has had in his life.
