Part 3 Reading and Writing （第三部分 阅读和写话）
VI. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）
A. Choose the best answer（选择最恰当的答案）
Rachel Hinks, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic（过敏的）to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She suffered from sickness, heart palpitations（心悸）and great pains in her head after she was exposed to Wi-Fi signals sent from wireless routers（无线路由器）and phone mass（信号塔）.
Rachel has tried many ways to escape Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in woodland or in the fields. She has even tried sleeping in a shed.
Being completely tired, Rachel had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to escape at least fifteen phone masts near her house. She is now living in a small house in rural（乡下的）Wales. There are far fewer masts. However, the house, which belongs to one of her friends, is up for sale, so she has to move again soon.
Rachel is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van（野营车）so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she has no job and therefore no income, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.
65. Unlike many other people, Rachel is allergic to _________.
A. pets B. smoke C. Wi-Fi signals D. seafood
66. Rachel suffered from the following problems EXCEPT _________ when she was allergic.
A. heart palpitations B. high fever C. sickness D. headache

70. Which of the following words best describes Rachel's feeling
A. Helpless. B. Calm. C. Embarrassed. D. Satisfied.
B. Choose the words and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词，完成短文）
We usually can't remember what we were doing at a specific time. Those of us with average memories simply forget these __71__. And this is normal（正常的）. We remember what we need and what we think is important. The rest, we forget.
However, this is not the case for a few people with excellent memories. Kelly Norman is one of these people. She remembers everything that happened last Saturday, and the Saturday before that. __72__, she remembers almost everything in her life since age 11. She remembers that at 12:34 p.m. on Sunday, August 3, 1986, a young man called her on the telephone. What was she doing at noon, March 28, 1992 She was having lunch with her father in a hotel. She __73__. "My memory flows like a movie-nonstop and uncontrollable."
Kelly was about 12 when she began to realize that her memory was perfect. As she grew older, her __74__ continued to develop. Today, she might have one of the best memories in the world. Researchers have studied Kelly for many years. They have some interesting findings. Kelly can remember __75__ events on any day in the last 35 years. On the other hand, researchers found that she has difficulty remembering a series of numbers. So her amazing memory only relates to（与…相关）her own life.
People like Kelly have two interesting things in common. Parts of their brains are physically different from the brain of a person with average memory. People like Kelly can't stop thinking about the past. They keep diaries. They read old newspapers. In other words, they work hard to remember the past.
Remembering everything has its advantages. Yet it can also cause __76__. Kelly says, "I remember good things and that is very comforting. But I also remember bad -- and every bad choice." "And I don't give myself a break ... I am still thinking about my mistakes." She concludes, "Most people think I have a gift, but I don't think so."
71. A. conclusions B. choices C. details D. meanings
72. A. Above all B. In fact C. For example D. In brief
73. A. explains B. wonders C. labels D. imagines
74. A. hobby B. case C. personality D. ability

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，是其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给）
Anyone who has a dog as a pet will tell you why the dog is called man's best friend. "They are loyal funny and loving. They seldom complain and always o__77__ their owners." said Mary Smith from Washington D. C.
Doctors will tell you that people who have dogs seem to be happier and healthier than those who live a__78__. One reason for this is that people with dogs lead more active lives. Who can say no to a lovely dog when he pulls on your arm and asks you to take him for a walk
Dogs are really amazing animals. They not only offer emotional（情感的）support but also p__79__ great help for humans. Think about guide dogs for blind people, or dogs that help people in wheelchairs.
However, it is the emotional side of owning a dog that has been studied in detail by Dr Julie Davis of Chicago University. "B__80__ every dog lover there is a story," says Dr Davis. "Why do people love their dogs so much If you hear their stories, it will not be difficult to understand why."
Dr Davis has studied the r__81__ between dogs and people for the last ten years. "I have interviewed office workers and farmers, policemen and construction workers," says Dr Davis. "Everyone wants to talk about their dogs. Many people said they cried much more when their dogs died than when their parents died. They said the sadness was much d__82__. People are finding animals are more reliable than human beings. People tell me all the time that they get more emotional support from their dogs than from their husbands or wives."
D. Read the passage below and answer the following questions（根据文章内容回答下列问题）
Imagine this situation（情景）. You pas a group of people. The people are talking to each other. You cannot hear what they are saying. But suddenly they start laughing.
Would you think they were laughing at you
Being laughed at is a common fear. But a study published years ago has found that this fear is not the same around the world. People in Finland were the least likely（可能的）to believe that people were laughing at them when they appeared. Less than 10% of the Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to 80% of the people in Thailand. Some people in the study said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations but hid their feelings of uncertainty. Others said they avoided（避免）social situations where they had been laughed at before. The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to be in the second group.
Shy people often avoid situations that would force（强迫）them into close contact with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them. But some people worry much more than others. They may have a trouble called gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word. It means laughter. Phobia means fear. This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it. It can affect（影响）how they lead their lives.
In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than 90 researchers from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another aim of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures. The researchers surveyed more than 22,000 people in 42 different languages. The findings appeared in the scientific journal Humor.
83. What has the study found about the fear of being laughed at
84. In the study, what was the percentage（百分比）of the Finns who would believe that people were laughing at them
85. According to the study, how many countries were more likely to be in the second group
86. Why do shy people tend to avoid situations that force them to contact closely with others
87. Where can you find the findings of the study
88. Nadia, a girl from Cambodia, believed that people were laughing at her. According to the passage, what might be the possible reason
