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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen. Instead, the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes.
CCR 200
It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day.
The Explorer’s Road
The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore stunning beaches, spectacular countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route.
South West Coastal 300
The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.
Atlantic Highway
The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and you certainly won’t be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.
21．Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges
A．CCR 200 B．The Explorer’s Road.
C．South West Coastal 300. D．Atlantic Highway.
22．What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road
A．Lesser-known aspects. B．Popular beaches and castles.
C．Landmarks with a long history. D．Newly-developed nature reserves.
23．What is the disadvantage of Atlantic Highway
A．It closes in summer. B．Its views are limited.
C．It charges for stopovers. D．It is crowded sometimes.
B
Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford upon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume(推测) that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.
Nothing certain is known for what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend, he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner, Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed (收……为学徒)to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he had no money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.
24．In the early life of Shakespeare, he ________, supposedly.
A．attended a public school B．lived in London
C．studied Latin D．was put in prison for stealing cattle
25．Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage
A．Because he did not want to go to school.
B．Because he left for London to become famous.
C．Because he had stolen deer and was beaten.
D．No one knows for certain.
26．Why can the world be grateful that he left his hometown
A．Because he wrote many world-famous plays
B．Because he became a good rider in London.
C．Because he was an actor at last in London.
D．Because he travelled all over the world.
27．The underlined phrase “In time” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A．on time B．sometimes C．some time later D．some time
C
The area in front of Janet and Jeffrey Crouch’s house in Columbia, Maryland, does not look usual for their neighborhood. That is because the Crouches do not have a grass lawn(草坪). Instead, they have some small trees and many native plants.
In recent years, support for replacing lawns with native plants has been increasing in the US. It can be costly to keep a lawn looking good and green. But the Crouches had to spend much more money for the right not to have one.
People living in a house next to them complained to their homeowner’s association, or HOA. HOAs can make rules about the plants that homeowners in a neighborhood are permitted to grow. Many HOAs require grass lawns. The HOA ordered the Crouches to pull out their native plants and put in grass. However, they refused. “We knew we were doing things that were beneficial for the environment, ” said Janet Crouch.
Lawns are called environmental dead zones in part because they provide no food or shelter for wildlife. They also do not support pollinators like birds, bees, and butterflies. Bee populations have been getting smaller in North America and may be getting smaller around the world.
There are other reasons that lawns are bad for the environment. They require a lot of water and chemicals. Large amounts of water can remove nutrients from the soil. After the water removes the nutrients, people buy even more chemicals to put on their lawns. Scientists say some of these chemicals might cause cancer and other health problems. There are over 16million hectares of grass lawns in the US. That means lawns use more water than any other irrigated(灌溉)crop in the country.
The Crouches’ battle against their HOA took three years. They say they spent $60, 000 fighting to keep their natural garden. They won. Because of their efforts, the state of Maryland passed a law that lets people grow native plants instead of grass, no matter what their HOA wants.
28. Which is one of HOA’s responsibilities
A. Developing and interpreting all relevant laws.
B. Protecting the balance of nature in the community.
C. Maintaining a unified(统一的) greenery within the community.
D. Dealing with all the requirements of residents.
29. Why did the Crouches give up the lawn in front of their house
A. To attract people’s attention.
B. To improve the neighborhood relations.
C. To save on the cost of lawn maintenance.
D. To better improve the ecological environment.
30. Which of the following might the Crouches agree
A. Lawns are suitable for bee reproduction.
B. Local plants are environmentally friendly.
C. Local plants can prevent soil and water pollution.
D. Lawns are beneficial for soil and water conservation.
31. Which can best describe the Crouches
A. Determined. B. Humorous. C. Brave. D. Careful.
D
Used electronics are piling up fast: they are filling up landfills with dangerous pieces of waste. Some e-waste is relatively large, such as air conditioners; other e-waste is more unnoticed, such as smart labels that contain disposable batteries and other equipment.
“It’s these small batteries that are big problems,” says University of California, Irvine, public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who is a green technology researcher and adviser for major tech companies and was not involved in developing the battery. “Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.” Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. Their new paper describes a water-activated paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. A traditional battery’s components are covered in plastic and metal; in the new battery, however, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper becomes wet. When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Once the paper is wet, the battery starts working within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained function and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.
That future may not be so far off. It is hard to predict a time line for manufacturing such items at scale, but the head of the study says he is in contact with potential industry partners and believes these batteries could make their way into products within the next two to five years.
32．Why is e-waste mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic. B．To give people warning.
C．To show the seriousness of it. D．To call on people to take action.
33．What is Dele’s attitude towards e-waste
A．Objective. B．Carefree. C．Indifferent. D．Concerned.
34．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The difference between the paper battery and the traditional battery.
B．The working principle of the paper battery.
C．The problem of the paper battery.
D．The advantage of the paper battery.
35．What is the most suitable title for the text
A．Paper battery: Is it far off B．Paper can work wonders.
C．Paper battery: A creative way to reduce e-waste. D．Let’s work together to fight e-waste.

McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.

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。
NEVER STOP WALKING
When Justin was 7, he suffered from a disease that led to problems with the development of his back. Over the years, the little boy had gone through a total of five corrective surgeries. Justin could no longer walk and was limited to a wheelchair. But this did not stop him from living a normal life thanks to his mother’ S love and others’ help.
After entering high school, Justin got interested in playing the trumpet (小号) and joined the school’s band. He served as one of the band’s trumpeters and developed a strong friendship with his partner Tom. As the National Day approached, the band intended to perform in the National Day Parade and every member had the chance to join in, including Justin. However, there was one obvious problem. Justin could not control his wheelchair and play the trumpet at the same time. The band director put forward an idea of one student pushing Justin during his marches. Tom immediately volunteered even though it meant he had to give up the opportunity to play his own instrument during the parade.“I want to do it just to make sure Justin knows that he always has a place in the band, and he always will,“ Tom said to their director secretly. From then on, the two practiced together, one playing the instrument and the other pushing the wheelchair with the rhythm of the music.
To help Justin, Tom sacrificed (牺牲) far beyond expectation. Apart from losing the chance to perform, he needed to spare more time to take care of Justin and even missed his football training several times. All of these were seen by Justin and the burden of guilt weighed heavily on his mind.“I can’t meet my own needs at the sacrifice of Tom’s chance. It is time to find a solution.” Justin thought to himself as his mother pushed him on the way home. His mother lowered her head and said,“Justin, play me your new tune.” Justin took out his trumpet and was about to play when an excellent idea came to him.

Dear Alan,
I am sorry to know that you are having such a bad time at the moment.Sometimes we go emotionally out of control and get our study and life affected. It is normal and a kind of adolescent thing. As long as you learn to handle it, you will recover from such terrible situation soon. Here are my suggestions.
First, you should talk about what troubles you those days with your family or close friends. Second, you can relieve your stress by doing something relaxing, like running or watching good movies. At last, you’d better develop a good habit of life and study, which helps you become positive.
Hope those suggestions will be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
