第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50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。
A
Curry is not a single spice, nor is it related to the namesake curry tree. The catch-all umbrella term refers to a “spiced meat, fish or vegetable stew, either freshly prepared as a powder or spice paste or purchased as a ready-made mixture. If you're a curry lover, follow your desires around the world by heading to these destinations.
India
It's impossible to sum up India's various “curries” in a few lines. But if there's one dish that can be found on menus across the country, it'd be murgh makhani— better known around the world as butter chicken. This famous dish stars chicken soaked in yogurt, then covered with a rich creamy sauce of tomatoes, onions and spices.
Thailand
Often made with coconut milk, Thai curry dishes vary across the country. Generally speaking, you'll see drier varieties up north and wetter variations in central Thailand and down south, where coconut milk is more common. Thai curries come in a stoplight of colors— red, yellow and green— and strive to strike a balance between sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
Japan
Typically mild and thick, Japanese curry, kare raise, is eaten across the country. Usually cooked with pre-made mixes, Japan's thick and soft variation usually features pieces of stewed beef, onions and carrots over a bed of rice.
Malaysia
Nyonya cuisine— dishes created by the Straits Chinese community— plays an important role in Malaysia’ s cooking melting pot. One of the best known Nyonya curries is kari ayam（bone-in chicken curry） which features a mix of Chinese techniques and Malaysian ingredients. Another dish that deserves mentioning is kapitan, which sees pieces of chicken fried in curry paste, and then cooked at a low heat in coconut milk.
21. Which dish is made of beef
A. Murgh makhani. B. Kapitan. C. Kari ayam. D. Kare raise.
22. What do Thai and Malaysia curry dishes have in common
A. They contain coconut milk. B. They use only Chinese techniques.
C. They stress the importance of colors. D. They are cooked with Malaysian ingredients.
23. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A street poster. B. A food magazine.
C. A book review. D. A research paper.
B
Since the age of three, Amy had dreamed of becoming a dancer. However, her ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Amy, then a 17-year-old high school senior, was in a car` accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career. For Amy, it was the beginning. Far from being an obstacle, her wheelchair motivated her. “I wanted to prove to my community— and to myself— that I was still normal, whatever normal meant,” she told Teen Vogue. Normal for her meant dancing, so Amy did it in her wheelchair right alongside her non- disabled high school dance team.
Amy moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities. She calls it the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype（刻板印象） of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you' re walking or you' re rolling,” she told CBS News.
The Rollettes found that dancing while sitting in wheelchairs can be just as exciting, artistic, and meaningful as regular dance. In the disabled dance competitions all over the country, the six-member team moves to the music of Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran. They shake their upper bodies, move their heads in time with the rhythm, pose beautifully, and push their wheelchairs in very coordinated and well-planned ways. They are having a great time, and the audience's enthusiastic reactions show that this fun is spreading.
Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. In 2019,173 participants from ten countries attended. For many, it was the first time that they’d felt they belonged. Steph Aiello told Teen Vogue that working with Amy challenged her to be more independent. “My injury doesn't stop, so why am I going to stop living my life because of my injury ” she said.
24. What does the underlined word “dashed” mean in paragraph 1
A. Beaten. B. Destroyed. C. Raised. D. Rushed.
25. What does the Rollettes aim to do
A. Train the disabled but professional dancers. B. Promote the popularity of wheelchair dance.
C. Hold dance competitions for wheelchair users. D. Change people's prejudice against the disabled.
26. What can be inferred from the Rollettes' performance in paragraph 3
A. It is effortless. B. It is inharmonious.
C. It is emotionally touching. D. It is financially profitable.
27. Why does the author mention Steph Aiello in the last paragraph
A. To indicate she never stops living her own life.
B. To show Steph Aiello and Amy cooperate well.
C. To emphasise it's important to be independent.
D. To highlight Amy has positive influence on others.
C
An estimated 5.4 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer’ s disease, a number that is expected to grow as the Baby Boomers age. Even more suffer from other forms of dementia（痴呆）. To keep such patients’ minds engaged and give their caregivers at home a break, doctors often refer them to day centers, where they can exercise, take part in activities, and receive professional guidance or medication.
Recently, the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’ s Family Centers, a San Diego nonprofit that operates several such facilities, has begun to create a very different sort of daytime space for its patients: a fake town of 24 buildings, arranged around a central green and designed to evoke the era when most of today's dementia patients were young adults. The hope is that visual reminders of their youth will spark memories and conversation.
Glenner Town Square will be the first facility of its kind in the United States, according to Daniel Sewell, a professor of clinical psychiatry at UC San Diego and an unpaid medical adviser on Glenner’s board. While the project is novel, the approach it reflects— known as reminiscence therapy（回忆疗法）— is common in clinical practice. By using a variety of reminders such as photographs and music, facilitators— including staff at Glenner—help dementia patients recall episodes from decades past. Studies have found that the therapy improves both cognitive function and quality of life; a fully immersive environment like Glenner Town Square could enhance these effects.
As dementia progresses, memories of childhood and early adulthood tend to endure the longest. “Graduation from high school, college, the first job, marriage, perhaps children— these are the milestones, typically, in life,” Tarde, an administrator of the GeorgeG. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers, said. “That 20-year period seems to be where memories are the strongest.” Ask a person with mid-stage dementia about Jennifer Lawrence, and you'll probably get a confused stare. But take out a photo of actress Judy Garland, and a lively conversation may follow.
28. Why do doctors often recommend day centers to Alzheimer's disease patients
A. To make them calm down. B. To keep their minds active.
C. To help them make more friends. D. To prevent them developing other diseases.
29. What do we know about Glenner Town Square
A. It is a facility for caregivers to take a rest.
B. It is an ancient town for patients to live in.
C. It is intended to refresh the patients' memories.
D. It is inspired by the design of several other facilities.
30. Which of the following best describes the project
A. Safe. B. Flexible. C. Challenging. D. Promising.
31. What does the last paragraph indicate
A. Judy Garland and Jennifer Lawrence were famous administrators.
B. Memories concerning the earlier key moments are easier to recall.
C. Memories of all life stages can equally be applied in the treatment.
D. Alzheimer’s disease patients can have memories of 20 years at most.
D
It would be silly to be sad about the end of The New Musical Express（NME）, which is closing its print edition after 66 years, maintaining only its painful digital existence. This isn't because popular music doesn't matter nor even because the magazine became so associated with one particular form. But NME's best days were long past, and it's hard to imagine current readers weeping. As an ad-supported free publication, no one thought it was exciting, necessary, or even surprising. It was unnecessary and could be easily thrown away: something you picked up for a while and then put down. Its former charm was due to its rarity, but now there is a lot of cultural wealth.
NME wasn't as cutting-edge as it thought it was. It was too influenced by its own wrong concept and too often by a small range of music. For every radical（激进的） voice, there was one of the most conservative rocks, busy creating a great western tradition of popular music.
Yet for generations of suburban teenagers, the weekly music press was life-changing. NME made some bands famous, although not as often as it tried to, and helped people understand why the bands were important. More than that, the inkies were the gateways to a wider world of politics, culture and ideas— life. For readers, the writers were often the real stars. For writers, especially for working-class ones, NME was also transformative. It provided not only a national stage but a paid one. Without asking any personal information, NME just sent you to see some band and asked for 400 words on it. If it liked what you wrote, it'd give you an album to review.
Nowadays, there are new and instant pleasures. No teenagers have to rush to the news agent to find out what's happening, nor wait for John Peel to come on the radio, or go around record shops. When artists can communicate directly with their audience and release materials without warning the media, cultural gatekeepers struggle for a place. The question is where excitement and world-expanding moments may now be found.
32. Why is NME closing its print edition
A. It lost its past appeal. B. It was available in digital form.
C. Popular music no longer matters. D. Too many adverts occupy its pages.
33. What was the main role of NME for suburban teenagers
A. To be a wider window into fashion. B. To help them form a fantastic band.
C. To dramatically influence their outlook. D. To provide a stage for them to be stars.
34. What might interest teenagers most now according to the last paragraph
A. New excitements. B. John Peel. C. Cultural gatekeepers. D. Music records.
35. What's the best title for the text
A. The Origin of NME B. NME in the Good Old Days
C. The Gradual Death of NME D. Secrets to the Success of NME

If you're looking forward to improving your diet and achieving your health goals, keep reading to find out what you need to know. 36 They are what health experts want you to know instead.
“Calories in, calories out” is the most crucial factor for long-term weight gain.
It's stated that consuming more calories than burning leads to likely weight gain and vice versa in the short term. However, research does not indicate that excessive eating will lead to steady weight gain and being overweight. 37
Fresh fruits and vegetables are healthier than canned, frozen or dried ones.
Although the long-held belief is that “fresh is the best”, research has shown that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can possess the same level of nutrition as their fresh equivalents. But in fact, some of these varieties contain hidden ingredients such as added sugars and saturated（饱和的） fats. 38 Choose products that minimize the presence of these ingredients.
All fat is bad.
It is commonly believed that all fat is bad. 39 Although some types of fats can raise the risk of certain conditions, healthy fats like those in olive oil play a role in reducing the risk, and are crucial for providing energy, cell function, and nutrient absorption.
40
Cow's milk generally contains about eight grams of protein per cup, while oat milk two or three grams per cup. Although the nutrition of plant-based beverages can vary, many of them have more added ingredients, like added sugars, which can be harmful to health.
A. This is not the case.
B. Cow's milk is much healthier.
C. Here are four nutrition myths.
D. Healthy fats help reduce the risk.
E. Plant milk is more nutritious than dairy milk.
F. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully read nutrition labels.
G. Rather, it is the types of foods that may cause these conditions.

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。
My senior year of high school was an extremely busy one. If I wasn't studying and worrying about my grades, I was taking part in multiple after-class activities or attempting to make preparations for college.
Finally, as my senior year began to wind down, I got a part-time job at a local cafe. I had figured that the job would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring excellent coffee, making delicious cakes and becoming close friends with the regular customers.
Who I hadn't counted on were the people with great orders that chose to use the drive- through window, or the women who felt that the coffee was much too creamy, or the men that wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until it reached a certain level of perfection. There were moments when I was annoyed with the human race as a whole, simply because I couldn't seem to please anyone. Nevertheless, I kept at it.
One rainy day, I spent my afternoon handing people their orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies. I tried to smile as the customers complained about the rain, but it was difficult to smile as they sat in their temperature-controlled cars with the windows rolled up while I dealt with huge droplets of water hanging from my visor（遮阳帽舌）. On top of that, no one was tipping. Every time I looked into my nearly empty tip jar, I grew more depressed.
Around four o’ clock, one of my regular customers named Peter came in looking depressed and defeated. My co-worker and I asked what the problem was and if we could help, but he wouldn't reveal any details. He just said he felt like crawling into bed, pulling the sheets up over his head and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided to do something to lift his spirits. Chatting with me for a while, Peter seemed to gain a newfound energy.

Since the age of three, Amy had dreamed of becoming a dancer. However, her ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Amy, then a 17-year-old high school senior, was in a car` accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career. For Amy, it was the beginning. Far from being an obstacle, her wheelchair motivated her. “I wanted to prove to my community— and to myself— that I was still normal, whatever normal meant,” she told Teen Vogue. Normal for her meant dancing, so Amy did it in her wheelchair right alongside her non- disabled high school dance team.
Amy moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities. She calls it the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype（刻板印象） of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you' re walking or you' re rolling,” she told CBS News.
The Rollettes found that dancing while sitting in wheelchairs can be just as exciting, artistic, and meaningful as regular dance. In the disabled dance competitions all over the country, the six-member team moves to the music of Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran. They shake their upper bodies, move their heads in time with the rhythm, pose beautifully, and push their wheelchairs in very coordinated and well-planned ways. They are having a great time, and the audience's enthusiastic reactions show that this fun is spreading.
Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. In 2019,173 participants from ten countries attended. For many, it was the first time that they’d felt they belonged. Steph Aiello told Teen Vogue that working with Amy challenged her to be more independent. “My injury doesn't stop, so why am I going to stop living my life because of my injury ” she said.
24. What does the underlined word “dashed” mean in paragraph 1
A. Beaten. B. Destroyed. C. Raised. D. Rushed.
25. What does the Rollettes aim to do
A. Train the disabled but professional dancers. B. Promote the popularity of wheelchair dance.
C. Hold dance competitions for wheelchair users. D. Change people's prejudice against the disabled.
26. What can be inferred from the Rollettes' performance in paragraph 3
A. It is effortless. B. It is inharmonious.
C. It is emotionally touching. D. It is financially profitable.
27. Why does the author mention Steph Aiello in the last paragraph
A. To indicate she never stops living her own life.
B. To show Steph Aiello and Amy cooperate well.
C. To emphasise it's important to be independent.
D. To highlight Amy has positive influence on others.

An estimated 5.4 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer’ s disease, a number that is expected to grow as the Baby Boomers age. Even more suffer from other forms of dementia（痴呆）. To keep such patients’ minds engaged and give their caregivers at home a break, doctors often refer them to day centers, where they can exercise, take part in activities, and receive professional guidance or medication.
Recently, the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’ s Family Centers, a San Diego nonprofit that operates several such facilities, has begun to create a very different sort of daytime space for its patients: a fake town of 24 buildings, arranged around a central green and designed to evoke the era when most of today's dementia patients were young adults. The hope is that visual reminders of their youth will spark memories and conversation.
Glenner Town Square will be the first facility of its kind in the United States, according to Daniel Sewell, a professor of clinical psychiatry at UC San Diego and an unpaid medical adviser on Glenner’s board. While the project is novel, the approach it reflects— known as reminiscence therapy（回忆疗法）— is common in clinical practice. By using a variety of reminders such as photographs and music, facilitators— including staff at Glenner—help dementia patients recall episodes from decades past. Studies have found that the therapy improves both cognitive function and quality of life; a fully immersive environment like Glenner Town Square could enhance these effects.
As dementia progresses, memories of childhood and early adulthood tend to endure the longest. “Graduation from high school, college, the first job, marriage, perhaps children— these are the milestones, typically, in life,” Tarde, an administrator of the GeorgeG. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers, said. “That 20-year period seems to be where memories are the strongest.” Ask a person with mid-stage dementia about Jennifer Lawrence, and you'll probably get a confused stare. But take out a photo of actress Judy Garland, and a lively conversation may follow.
28. Why do doctors often recommend day centers to Alzheimer's disease patients
A. To make them calm down. B. To keep their minds active.
C. To help them make more friends. D. To prevent them developing other diseases.
29. What do we know about Glenner Town Square
A. It is a facility for caregivers to take a rest.
B. It is an ancient town for patients to live in.
C. It is intended to refresh the patients' memories.
D. It is inspired by the design of several other facilities.
30. Which of the following best describes the project
A. Safe. B. Flexible. C. Challenging. D. Promising.
31. What does the last paragraph indicate
A. Judy Garland and Jennifer Lawrence were famous administrators.
B. Memories concerning the earlier key moments are easier to recall.
C. Memories of all life stages can equally be applied in the treatment.
D. Alzheimer’s disease patients can have memories of 20 years at most.
D
It would be silly to be sad about the end of The New Musical Express（NME）, which is closing its print edition after 66 years, maintaining only its painful digital existence. This isn't because popular music doesn't matter nor even because the magazine became so associated with one particular form. But NME's best days were long past, and it's hard to imagine current readers weeping. As an ad-supported free publication, no one thought it was exciting, necessary, or even surprising. It was unnecessary and could be easily thrown away: something you picked up for a while and then put down. Its former charm was due to its rarity, but now there is a lot of cultural wealth.
NME wasn't as cutting-edge as it thought it was. It was too influenced by its own wrong concept and too often by a small range of music. For every radical（激进的） voice, there was one of the most conservative rocks, busy creating a great western tradition of popular music.
Yet for generations of suburban teenagers, the weekly music press was life-changing. NME made some bands famous, although not as often as it tried to, and helped people understand why the bands were important. More than that, the inkies were the gateways to a wider world of politics, culture and ideas— life. For readers, the writers were often the real stars. For writers, especially for working-class ones, NME was also transformative. It provided not only a national stage but a paid one. Without asking any personal information, NME just sent you to see some band and asked for 400 words on it. If it liked what you wrote, it'd give you an album to review.
Nowadays, there are new and instant pleasures. No teenagers have to rush to the news agent to find out what's happening, nor wait for John Peel to come on the radio, or go around record shops. When artists can communicate directly with their audience and release materials without warning the media, cultural gatekeepers struggle for a place. The question is where excitement and world-expanding moments may now be found.
32. Why is NME closing its print edition
A. It lost its past appeal. B. It was available in digital form.
C. Popular music no longer matters. D. Too many adverts occupy its pages.
33. What was the main role of NME for suburban teenagers
A. To be a wider window into fashion. B. To help them form a fantastic band.
C. To dramatically influence their outlook. D. To provide a stage for them to be stars.
34. What might interest teenagers most now according to the last paragraph
A. New excitements. B. John Peel. C. Cultural gatekeepers. D. Music records.
35. What's the best title for the text
A. The Origin of NME B. NME in the Good Old Days
C. The Gradual Death of NME D. Secrets to the Success of NME

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。
My senior year of high school was an extremely busy one. If I wasn't studying and worrying about my grades, I was taking part in multiple after-class activities or attempting to make preparations for college.
Finally, as my senior year began to wind down, I got a part-time job at a local cafe. I had figured that the job would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring excellent coffee, making delicious cakes and becoming close friends with the regular customers.
Who I hadn't counted on were the people with great orders that chose to use the drive- through window, or the women who felt that the coffee was much too creamy, or the men that wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until it reached a certain level of perfection. There were moments when I was annoyed with the human race as a whole, simply because I couldn't seem to please anyone. Nevertheless, I kept at it.
One rainy day, I spent my afternoon handing people their orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies. I tried to smile as the customers complained about the rain, but it was difficult to smile as they sat in their temperature-controlled cars with the windows rolled up while I dealt with huge droplets of water hanging from my visor（遮阳帽舌）. On top of that, no one was tipping. Every time I looked into my nearly empty tip jar, I grew more depressed.
Around four o’ clock, one of my regular customers named Peter came in looking depressed and defeated. My co-worker and I asked what the problem was and if we could help, but he wouldn't reveal any details. He just said he felt like crawling into bed, pulling the sheets up over his head and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided to do something to lift his spirits. Chatting with me for a while, Peter seemed to gain a newfound energy.
