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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Museum lets visitors walk in the shoes of a police officer
Police shows on TV are filled with high-speed car chases and crimes solved in a few minutes. But that’s not a typical day for a real-life police officer. To get a more accurate picture, head to the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington. Exhibits there invite visitors to use their senses of sight, hearing, touch and smell to gather information the way police do.
Let’s look at a few exhibits.
K-9 Units
See a video of how dogs are trained to join K-9 Units. Test your ability to smell and identify various scents (气味). Learn which kinds of dogs are better at tracking bad persons while others are better at sniffing out dangerous goods.
The Web of Law Enforcement
You’ll quickly learn that crime-solving is a team effort, not only within one department, but among organizations across the country. Inspection Service is just one of the law enforcement groups helping local police when needed. For example, six organizations worked together on a national park graffiti (涂鸦) case.
Five Communities
Every community is different. Learn how the needs and challenges of five communities are being dealt with. These communities goals are to develop programs, while increasing trust between local people and police. What might work in your neighborhood There’s a place for visitors to share their thoughts.
The Training Simulator
Those aged 12 and older can try the same training scenarios (方案) and equipment used in professional law enforcement classes in which police try to resolve difficult situations. Short videos test participants’ abilities to observe accurately and think quickly before reacting.
The exercises give an understanding of what officers face on a daily basis.
“Many kids first think it’s like a video game,” said Alan Davis, an educator and New York police officer. “They soon realize that real-life decision-making in a second isn’t easy, and they freeze. For real police there are no second chances.”
1. Which exhibit focuses on police dogs
A. K-9 Units. B. Five Communities.
C. The Training Simulator. D. The Web of Law Enforcement.
2. What does The Web of Law Enforcement show
A. The problems in communities. B. The dangers of being a police officer.
C. How teamwork matters in solving a case. D. How a policeman makes a decision instantly.
3. How may kids feel about the short video tests after taking part in them
A. They are surprising. B. They are difficult to understand.
C. They are the same as video games. D. They are not real-life experiences at all.
B
Could J. K. Rowling please leave Harry Potter in peace 2010 was a good time to move on. We all know that Harry Potter’s last adventures hit the bookstore in 2007, and three years later the Warner Bros adaptations ran their course in cinema, too. For many fans, the young wizard had worked his magic through most of their childhood. But in 2018, a new Harry Potter extended universe film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crime of Grindelwald, was out.
I love Harry Potter series and I always will. It’s all there in my memory: I remember the first delight at reading “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal”. The wizarding treasure hunt, thrown by my parents for my ninth birthday with my dad dressed as Hagrid in the garden, was so clear in my mind. I remember deciphering (破译) my copy of the Deathly Hallows, the first book I read in English, and having to check the French for “wand”. The 2001 trip to the cinema to see Philosopher’s Stone, and all the ones that followed are kept clearly.
However, someone needs to call a halt to the endless afterlife of Potter’s fictional universe. It was enough in the seven books and eight films. We didn’t and don’t need a community website, a theatre play, the printed script of said movie, and even more movies.
Rowling has created 21st-century modern literary classic. I always look up to her as the textbook classy writer: respectfully drawing attention from readers, successful but wise enough to withdraw. She also cares much about the causes she holds dear. In 2011 alone, she donated 16% of her net worth to charities. Of all contemporary authors who hit gold, Rowling remains one of the very most inspirational.
The saddest thing is that Rowling helped with the writing of the Cursed Child. She regularly “revealed” new details about Potter’s magical world on Twitter. Today, I decided to give up: I don’t follow Rowling on Twitter. I don’t want to see the new film. Thank you, Joanne Kathleen Rowling. I have enough valued stories—I don’t need new ones any more.
4. The last book of Harry Potter series was published in ______ .
A. 2007 B. 2010 C. 2011 D. 2017
5. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the author ______ .
A. felt rather easy to understand Harry Potter series
B. was quiet fond of Harry Potter series and its films
C. read Harry Potter series with the help of his parents
D. missed the time of watching Harry Potter movies with his parents
6. What does the underlined phrase “call a halt to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Share. B. Appreciate. C. Stop. D. Change.
7. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The talent J. K. Rowling has.
B. The author’s praise for J. K. Rowling.
C. The influence of J. K. Rowling’s works.
D. The author’s expectations of J. K. Rowling.
C
Uggs(雪地靴) are certainly ugly, or at least inelegant. The shapeless boots, pulled on in a hurry, can make anyone look like a slob（懒惰的人）, which has made them the target of disrespect. It hasn’t been hard to find someone strongly condemning them. “Ugg boots are no sexy,” The Independent declared in 2003, “unless you’re Mrs. Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctic to find Mr. Bigfoot. When wearing the boots, a writer of The Gloss complained, “There’s nothing to indicate that you don’t have square, horrible shoeboxes in place of human feet.” In 2015, one coffee shop on Brick Lane in east London ever banned ugg-wearers.
And yet, over the years, plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approval of the fashion establishment. The problem with uggs wasn’t that they were ugly; it’s that they were common.
But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. Once you start paying attention, you’ll be shocked to discover how many people are still wearing them. They are worn by mothers in town and in the country, by teenagers on Saturday shopping trip and by people in fashion.
Perhaps the secret of uggs’s unstoppable success is that, if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style，it might be a pair of cozy boots. They are certainly comfortable, soft and warm, as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you. At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range. They are casual and indulgent(纵容的）.
Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.
8. What is the best title of the passage
A. Uggs Refuse to Die
B. Uggs Have Existed So Long
C. Uggs Enter the Fashion Circle
D. Uggs Have Gone Somewhere
9. Why does the author quote many media’s words in the first paragraph
A. To prove uggs’ toughness
B. To prove uggs’s popularity
C. To prove people’s approval
D. To prove people’s condemning.
10. What does the author think very strange
A. Uggs are very common
B. Uggs are inelegant and ugly
C Uggs are worn by teenagers
D. Uggs stay there regardless
11. What is the secret to the success of uggs according to the passage
A. They are very comfortable
B. They own private style
C. They have public appeal
D. They are very cheap
D
Ramirez Casta eda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.
“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”
Casta eda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.
Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.
Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.
“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Casta eda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”
12. What prevented Casta eda’s discoveries from being more widely known
A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues.
C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier.
13. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research
A. Inefficient wildlife conservation.
B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world.
C. A growing interest in non-English papers.
D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators.
14. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs
A. The urgency to protect rare species.
B. The need to adopt one global language.
C The challenges in translating scientific texts.
D. The biodiversity on the South American continent.
15. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text
A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model.
C. A popular belief. D. A global trend.

Could J. K. Rowling please leave Harry Potter in peace 2010 was a good time to move on. We all know that Harry Potter’s last adventures hit the bookstore in 2007, and three years later the Warner Bros adaptations ran their course in cinema, too. For many fans, the young wizard had worked his magic through most of their childhood. But in 2018, a new Harry Potter extended universe film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crime of Grindelwald, was out.
I love Harry Potter series and I always will. It’s all there in my memory: I remember the first delight at reading “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal”. The wizarding treasure hunt, thrown by my parents for my ninth birthday with my dad dressed as Hagrid in the garden, was so clear in my mind. I remember deciphering (破译) my copy of the Deathly Hallows, the first book I read in English, and having to check the French for “wand”. The 2001 trip to the cinema to see Philosopher’s Stone, and all the ones that followed are kept clearly.
However, someone needs to call a halt to the endless afterlife of Potter’s fictional universe. It was enough in the seven books and eight films. We didn’t and don’t need a community website, a theatre play, the printed script of said movie, and even more movies.
Rowling has created 21st-century modern literary classic. I always look up to her as the textbook classy writer: respectfully drawing attention from readers, successful but wise enough to withdraw. She also cares much about the causes she holds dear. In 2011 alone, she donated 16% of her net worth to charities. Of all contemporary authors who hit gold, Rowling remains one of the very most inspirational.
The saddest thing is that Rowling helped with the writing of the Cursed Child. She regularly “revealed” new details about Potter’s magical world on Twitter. Today, I decided to give up: I don’t follow Rowling on Twitter. I don’t want to see the new film. Thank you, Joanne Kathleen Rowling. I have enough valued stories—I don’t need new ones any more.
4. The last book of Harry Potter series was published in ______ .
A. 2007 B. 2010 C. 2011 D. 2017

A. felt rather easy to understand Harry Potter series
B. was quiet fond of Harry Potter series and its films
C. read Harry Potter series with the help of his parents
D. missed the time of watching Harry Potter movies with his parents

Uggs(雪地靴) are certainly ugly, or at least inelegant. The shapeless boots, pulled on in a hurry, can make anyone look like a slob（懒惰的人）, which has made them the target of disrespect. It hasn’t been hard to find someone strongly condemning them. “Ugg boots are no sexy,” The Independent declared in 2003, “unless you’re Mrs. Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctic to find Mr. Bigfoot. When wearing the boots, a writer of The Gloss complained, “There’s nothing to indicate that you don’t have square, horrible shoeboxes in place of human feet.” In 2015, one coffee shop on Brick Lane in east London ever banned ugg-wearers.
And yet, over the years, plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approval of the fashion establishment. The problem with uggs wasn’t that they were ugly; it’s that they were common.
But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. Once you start paying attention, you’ll be shocked to discover how many people are still wearing them. They are worn by mothers in town and in the country, by teenagers on Saturday shopping trip and by people in fashion.
Perhaps the secret of uggs’s unstoppable success is that, if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style，it might be a pair of cozy boots. They are certainly comfortable, soft and warm, as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you. At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range. They are casual and indulgent(纵容的）.
Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.
8. What is the best title of the passage
A. Uggs Refuse to Die
B. Uggs Have Existed So Long
C. Uggs Enter the Fashion Circle
D. Uggs Have Gone Somewhere
9. Why does the author quote many media’s words in the first paragraph
A To prove uggs’ toughness
B. To prove uggs’s popularity
C. To prove people’s approval
D. To prove people’s condemning.
10. What does the author think very strange
A. Uggs are very common
B. Uggs are inelegant and ugly
C. Uggs are worn by teenagers
D. Uggs stay there regardless
11. What is the secret to the success of uggs according to the passage
A. They are very comfortable
B. They own private style
C. They have public appeal
D. They are very cheap
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. A

Ramirez Casta eda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.
“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”
Casta eda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.
Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.
Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.
“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Casta eda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”
12. What prevented Casta eda’s discoveries from being more widely known
A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues.
C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier.
13. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research
A. Inefficient wildlife conservation.
B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world.
C. A growing interest in non-English papers.
D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators.
14. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs
A. The urgency to protect rare species.
B. The need to adopt one global language.
C. The challenges in translating scientific texts.
D. The biodiversity on the South American continent.
15. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text
A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model.
C. A popular belief. D. A global trend.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章以一位哥伦比亚生物学家遭遇的语言问题为例，揭示了目前有很多非英文论文无法被翻译。对此，一些专家主张科学知识应当转换为一个共同的语言——英语。但作者对此并不认同。作者认为这会导致国际影响力的不平等，并且有些专业术语很难被英语翻译。因此，作者希望建立一个多语种的科学世界。

【13题详解】
细节理解题，根据第五段“Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence.

【16题详解】
根据前文“We all want it... to accept and love ourselves.”（我们都想要……接受并爱自己。）说明我们对自己的认可是肯定的。下文“Where do you start ”（你从哪里开始 ）用问题形式提出，当我们要肯定自己时是要想清楚通过哪些方面来肯定自己。因此空处应承接前文，讲述肯定自己不是简单就能做到的。选项A.“但有时这似乎太难了，遥不可及。”与下文逻辑相符，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.”（不要跟随那些让你觉得自己不够好的人。）讲述了要识别自己追随的人，不要跟随那些让你觉得自己不够好的人。后文“Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs ”（你是否希望最终你会因为你的生活比他们的好而感到有力量 ）以问题的形式提出询问你跟随其他人的动机。因此空处的内容应和后文并列，提出为什么跟随他人，选项E.“你为什么要跟随他们？”选项中“follow them”与前文中“ follow the people ”相呼应，同时与后文形成并列，符合题意，故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据空后的内容“We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. Remember, you are only human.”（不要对自己的缺点、错误、失败感到愧疚，我们都是人）提到不要对自己的缺点、错误、失败感到愧疚，因为我们都会时不时地犯错。空处位于段首，应为本段的主题句。因此作为段落的主题句，应起到总结概括作用，即我们要敢于接受自己的错误，要对自己报以同情心。选项D.“原谅自己所犯的错误。”符合本段的主旨。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上文中的“List all of your accomplishments and achievements.”（列出你所有的成绩和成就。）可知空处应承接前文，举例说明自己的成就。选项C.“你有了工作，拿到了学位，今天起床了。”举例说明了找到工作、获得学位、起床这些小小的成就，承接上文，符合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
结合上文“Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself.”(用语言来表达为什么你觉得自己不值得，为什么你觉得自己不够好。现在，自己读一下这些话。)”和下文的“Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how fantastic you are ” (翻到你日记本上记下你的优点和成就的那页。看到你有多棒了吗？)可知，空处应承接前文，讲述面对自己的不够好，会带给自己不好的感受。选项B.“再次感觉心烦意乱了吗？”符合上下文语境。故选B项。
