第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50 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
When it comes to perfect views, it really does take a village. Searching for the most camera-ready communities on the planet, we find four villages that fit the bill. Spend a few minutes there and you will realize that “quaint (古色古香的)” and “charming” aren’t just adjectives and that they are a way of life.
Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia
The village seems to disappear into the sky and the blue horizon. All the houses are painted white, the skies are clear, and the backdrop includes the Bay of Tunis which is only in a deeper shade of blue. It’s not surprising that the atmosphere here is a bit random, and it is also home to plenty of lively cafes and art galleries.
Wengen in Switzerland
Wonder how the world was before cars were invented Wengen, a Switzerland’s village, might just help you get the answer. Cars have been banned in this area for more than 100 years. Imagine seeing woods all around you, snow covered mountains, log cabins and the locals who have kept their Swiss culture undamaged.
Eze in France
France’s most attractive village is Eze. Seemingly frozen in time, Eze has managed to keep its old-world charm. It is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice, and today the village enjoys its rich heritage. The architecture here is so special that Walt Disney frequented this village for inspiration.
Bibury in England
Bibury was described by William Morris as “the most beautiful village in England” — known for its watercolor views. The 17th-century stone cottages and a still-working 1902 farm are some of the ancient village’s must-sees.
1. What are the tourists prevented doing in Wengen
A. Traveling around by car. B. Viewing woods everywhere.
C Learning about Swiss culture. D. Appreciating snowy mountains.
2. Which village did Walt Disney often visit to get inspired
A. Eze in France. B. Bibury in England.
C Wengen in Switzerland. D. Sidi Bou Said in Tunisi.
3. What do the four villages have in common
A. They have modern architecture.
B. They are all situated by the sea.
C. They have beautiful stone cottages.
D. They own old-world and amazing scenery.
B
You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—“Multicultural London English”.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different ethnic backgrounds and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not approve of. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Besides, Yoof would use “kind-a-thing,” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
4. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To share a story. B. To make a comparision.
C. To show the author’s experience. D. To introduce the topic.
5. Which of the following statements about “Multicultural London English” is TRUE
A. It’s now spoken by people around the world.
B. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
C. It’s a modern accent that crosses educational divides.
D. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
6. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Watch out. B. I see. C. My pleasure. D. Hurry up.
7. What does the author want to tell us
A. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
B. Learning English well is very easy.
C. Languages are always changing.
D. It is important to communicate with a native speaker.
C
A group of researchers have developed a new material which is soft but very strong. It can be worn and washed like ordinary clothing and could finally turn sports clothes into smart “wearables”.
The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” (碳纳米管线) can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions. But instead of having to be stuck on the skin, they can be fixed on a T-shirt and worn like usual athletic wear. The researchers say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer, and be washed and worn repeatedly without breaking down.
Though going into production for customers is still a long way off, the material could finally help replace some medical facilities, such as the heart-rate monitoring machines and watches, in addition to other possible uses. For the latest study, researchers worked with a rope-maker to make the threads together into a material similar to ordinary thread that could be sewn (缝纫) into athletic clothes. The resulting “smart” shirt provides “soft, wearable, dry sensors for continuous” heart-rate monitoring, the study states. With some improvement, the clothes with these carbon nanotube threads could be able to track other human body life signs, according to the researchers.
The “smart” shirts aren’t entirely without wires (电线) however. One example shows the nanotube in the shirt feeding testing results to wires on the bottom that transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer.
“The threadlike material — thin enough to run through a sewing machine — is not only soft and comfortable to the touch, but also so strong that you can build a powerline out of it,” said Dewy, a member of the research team. “Nothing else behaves like this promising material.”
8. What is the new material expected to do
A. Make a new style of sportswear. B. Take the place of traditional clothes.
C. Provide measurement for heartbeats. D. Help determine the type of an illness.
9. What does the underlined word “transmit” mean in paragraph 4
A. Send. B. Connect. C. Add. D. Track.
10. What can we learn about the new material
A. It’ll cause a waste of resources. B. It has gained a large sales market.
C. It has a bright future of development. D. It’ll improve the function of the heart.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Scientists Are Studying Human Body Life Signs
B. Advanced Medical Facilities Are Put into Wide Use
C. Smart Wearables Are Well Received Among Athletes
D. Carbon Nanotube Threads Are Created to Test Heart Rate
D
According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as loving as sons generally.
The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.
Her analysis of the family networks of 26, 000 old Americans concluded that gender （性别）is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.
In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been recording those people over 50s for the last decade, she analyzed that women provide an average of 12. 3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5. 6 hours.
“Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”
“This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”
In the UK, the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.
But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.
12. According to the passage, what’s the key factor to decide if people will actively care for the old
A. Education. B. Gender. C. Career. D. Income.
13. The US study finds that ________.
A. having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents
B. sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age
C. sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to their sisters
D. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents
14. What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.
B. Many care providers work longer hours than others.
C. Many care providers have potential health problems.
D. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.
15. The author develops the text by ________.
A. explaining social networks of careers
B. describing people’s experiences
C. analyzing various researches and data
D. comparing different gender

Sarah was never a morning person. The alarm ringing at 6: 30 a. m. was her daily terrible sound. But one thing made the horrible early hours acceptable —the comforting pleasant smell of fresh coffee moving through the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes from her apartment, and it became her morning call.
One sunny morning, after turning off the alarm clock, Sarah rushed to get dressed. She was going to have an important presentation at work, and she needed the caffeine (咖啡因) more than ever. She grabbed her keys, rushed out of the door, and made her way to the familiar coffee shop.
As she joined the line of cars in front of the coffee shop, Sarah couldn’t help but feel the familiar rush of expectation. The smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of that first drink was her little daily enjoyment.
The line moved slowly forward, and soon, Sarah found herself near the window. She reached for her wallet to pay, but before she could hand over her bank card, the waiter smiled and said,” Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you.”
Sarah was confused. ”Really “she asked, both surprised and thankful.
The waiter nodded. ”Yes, the woman in the car ahead wanted to pay it forward today. Enjoy your coffee!“
With a warm smile. Sarah took the free coffee. The unexpected act of kindness put a smile on her face, making her presentation feel a little less frightening. Before she drove away. Sarah, in her outside back mirror, saw a car approaching from behind.

When it comes to perfect views, it really does take a village. Searching for the most camera-ready communities on the planet, we find four villages that fit the bill. Spend a few minutes there and you will realize that “quaint (古色古香的)” and “charming” aren’t just adjectives and that they are a way of life.

A. They have modern architecture.
B. They are all situated by the sea.
C. They have beautiful stone cottages.
D. They own old-world and amazing scenery.
【答案】1. A 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合旅行和拍照的村镇，每个村镇都有古老且迷人的风景。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Wengen in Switzerland”部分关键句“Wonder how the world was before cars were invented Wengen, a Switzerland’s village, might just help you get the answer. Cars have been banned in this area for more than 100 years.”（想知道汽车发明之前的世界是怎样的吗 瑞士的翁根村或许能帮你找到答案。这个地区禁止汽车通行已有100多年了。）可知，瑞士的翁根村禁止汽车通行，由此可知，在翁根村不能开车旅行。故选A项。
【2题详解】

You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—“Multicultural London English”.
Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different ethnic backgrounds and different age groups, too.
“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not approve of. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Besides, Yoof would use “kind-a-thing,” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, but perhaps we should worry less about this. Research commissioned by the British Council shows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language.
4. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To share a story. B. To make a comparision.
C. To show the author’s experience. D. To introduce the topic.
5. Which of the following statements about “Multicultural London English” is TRUE
A. It’s now spoken by people around the world.
B. It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.
C It’s a modern accent that crosses educational divides.
D. It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.
6. What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”
A. Watch out. B. I see. C. My pleasure. D. Hurry up.
7. What does the author want to tell us
A. Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.
B. Learning English well is very easy.
C. Languages are always changing.
D. It is important to communicate with a native speaker.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. (你可以学习英语多年，但当你遇到一个以英语为母语的人时，你仍然听不懂。许多学习语言的人都知道，母语人士说的很多东西你在字典里找不到。)”结合第二段首句“ Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases.(在英国，许多地区都有不同的方言，也就是说，他们有自己独特的词汇和语法短语。)”以及下文内容介绍母语人士讲的英语听不懂的原因，可推断，本段的作用是引入文章的话题。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—‘Multicultural London English’.( 伦敦有很多不同的口音，因为一个人的口音不仅仅是由他在英国的出生地决定的，语言和口音也因社会阶层和教育水平而异。因此，最近兴起了一种20世纪末创造的新口音——‘多元文化伦敦英语’。)”可知，“多元文化的伦敦英语” 是一种跨越教育鸿沟的现代口音。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For example, instead of saying something like ‘That’s good!’ or ‘I understand’, yoof will use a single adjective like ‘Safe!’, or ‘Sorted!’(例如，代替说‘那很好!’或‘我明白’时，年轻人会使用一个形容词，比如‘Safe!’或‘Sorted!’)”可知，“Sorted!”在“yoof(年轻人)文化”中是“我明白”的意思。故选B项。

(作为英语学习者，我们可能想知道我们能和以英语为母语的人交谈得多好，但也许我们不必担心这一点。英国文化协会委托进行的一项研究表明，当今世界上94%的英语使用者都是非英语母语者。事实上，当我们想到‘国际英语’时，并不存在母语人士或非母语人士之分。英国不再拥有英语。)”可知，作者想告诉我们如果你听不懂母语人士的话，不要担心。故选A项。

A group of researchers have developed a new material which is soft but very strong. It can be worn and washed like ordinary clothing and could finally turn sports clothes into smart “wearables”.
The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” (碳纳米管线) can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions. But instead of having to be stuck on the skin, they can be fixed on a T-shirt and worn like usual athletic wear. The researchers say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer, and be washed and worn repeatedly without breaking down.
Though going into production for customers is still a long way off, the material could finally help replace some medical facilities, such as the heart-rate monitoring machines and watches, in addition to other possible uses. For the latest study, researchers worked with a rope-maker to make the threads together into a material similar to ordinary thread that could be sewn (缝纫) into athletic clothes. The resulting “smart” shirt provides “soft, wearable, dry sensors for continuous” heart-rate monitoring, the study states. With some improvement, the clothes with these carbon nanotube threads could be able to track other human body life signs, according to the researchers.
The “smart” shirts aren’t entirely without wires (电线), however. One example shows the nanotube in the shirt feeding testing results to wires on the bottom that transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer.
“The threadlike material — thin enough to run through a sewing machine — is not only soft and comfortable to the touch, but also so strong that you can build a powerline out of it,” said Dewy, a member of the research team. “Nothing else behaves like this promising material.”
8. What is the new material expected to do
A. Make a new style of sportswear. B. Take the place of traditional clothes.
C. Provide measurement for heartbeats. D. Help determine the type of an illness.
9. What does the underlined word “transmit” mean in paragraph 4
A. Send. B. Connect. C. Add. D. Track.
10. What can we learn about the new material
A. It’ll cause a waste of resources. B. It has gained a large sales market.
C. It has a bright future of development. D. It’ll improve the function of the heart.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Scientists Are Studying Human Body Life Signs
B. Advanced Medical Facilities Are Put into Wide Use
C. Smart Wearables Are Well Received Among Athletes
D. Carbon Nanotube Threads Are Created to Test Heart Rate
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是可测量心率的“碳纳米管线”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions.（这种所谓的“碳纳米管线”可以用来测量心率，以测试心脏状况。）”可知，新材料的用途是提供心跳测量。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。结合常识和第四段的“ transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer（通过蓝牙技术将信息 transmit到计算机）”可知，句子表达的是“通过蓝牙技术将信息传输到计算机上”，因此划线词的意思是“发送”，即Send，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Nothing else behaves like this promising material.（没有其他东西能像这种有前途的材料一样表现出色。）”可知，这种材料具有良好的发展前景。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“The so-called “carbon nanotube threads” (碳纳米管线) can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions.（这种所谓的“碳纳米管线”可以用来测量心率，以测试心脏状况。）”可知，本文主要介绍的是可测量心率的“碳纳米管线”，因此最好的题目是D选项“Carbon Nanotube Threads Are Created to Test Heart Rate（碳纳米管线被创造来测试心率）”，故选D。

According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as loving as sons generally.
The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.
Her analysis of the family networks of 26, 000 old Americans concluded that gender （性别）is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.
In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been recording those people over 50s for the last decade, she analyzed that women provide an average of 12. 3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5. 6 hours.
“Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”
“This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”
In the UK, the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.
But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.
12. According to the passage, what’s the key factor to decide if people will actively care for the old
A. Education. B. Gender. C. Career. D. Income.
13. The US study finds that ________.
A. having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents
B. sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age
C. sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to their sisters
D. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents
14. What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.
B. Many care providers work longer hours than others.
C. Many care providers have potential health problems.
D. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.
15. The author develops the text by ________.
A. explaining social networks of careers
B. describing people’s experiences
C. analyzing various researches and data
D. comparing different gender
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.(她对26000名美国老年人的家庭网进行分析后得出结论，性别是决定人们是否会积极照顾年迈父母的最重要因素之一。)”可知，预测人们是否会主动照顾老年人的最主要因素之一是性别。故选B项。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But many are doing so at the risk of their health.(但许多人是冒着健康风险这么做的。)”及下文“The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.( 人口普查显示，那些每周提供50个小时或更多照顾的人，在努力保住一份全职工作的同时，与不照顾人的同行相比，他们患疾病的可能性要高出三倍。)”可知，在最后一段作者着重指出很多护理提供者都有潜在的健康问题。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者在第四段和倒数第二段给出一些研究数据，继而进行分析得出结论。由此可知，这篇文章是以分析各种研究和数据得出相关结论的写作手法展开的。故选C项。

Sarah was never a morning person. The alarm ringing at 6: 30 a. m. was her daily terrible sound. But one thing made the horrible early hours acceptable —the comforting pleasant smell of fresh coffee moving through the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes from her apartment, and it became her morning call.
One sunny morning, after turning off the alarm clock, Sarah rushed to get dressed. She was going to have an important presentation at work, and she needed the caffeine (咖啡因) more than ever. She grabbed her keys, rushed out of the door, and made her way to the familiar coffee shop.
As she joined the line of cars in front of the coffee shop, Sarah couldn’t help but feel the familiar rush of expectation. The smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of that first drink was her little daily enjoyment.
The line moved slowly forward, and soon, Sarah found herself near the window. She reached for her wallet to pay, but before she could hand over her bank card, the waiter smiled and said,” Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you.”
Sarah was confused. ”Really “she asked, both surprised and thankful.
The waiter nodded. ”Yes, the woman in the car ahead wanted to pay it forward today. Enjoy your coffee!“
With a warm smile. Sarah took the free coffee. The unexpected act of kindness put a smile on her face, making her presentation feel a little less frightening. Before she drove away. Sarah, in her outside back mirror, saw a car approaching from behind.
