第二部分 阅读(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。
A
One day last January, my classroom was full of nervous atmosphere as 15 teenagers prepared to lock their smartphones in a cabinet (柜子) and stop all Internet use for the next two weeks. The ceremony kicked off a class I taught called Logging Off. During the rest of the school year, I taught high school chemistry, but this mini-course gave my students and me a chance to examine the role of technology in our lives.
When the time came to power down, many students were eager to be free of their phones, while others held onto their phones like a favorite stuffed animal. Their emotions seemed to range from worry (“How will I talk with my friends ”) to expectation (“I can’t wait to read more books.”).
Over the next few days, the students showed a surprising source of anxiety. Without their phones, they weren’t sure what to do when there was nothing to do. That’s when it hit me: I long for the kind of time alone with my thoughts that my students feared. I use these moments to replay a difficult conversation until I know where it went wrong or imagine myself living abroad. I stare at a person sitting nearby and invent the story of her life.
As we closed in on the final days of the course, I noticed a change in the kids’ attitude. Their anxiety faded. They went for walks, composed music, and played board games with younger sisters and brothers. They experienced life in the moment.
On the last day, when I returned their phones, I expected the kids to power up immediately and go straight to social media. Instead, most of them left the classroom with screens still dark, saying they wanted to see how long they could wait.
I know the pull of the digital world is strong, but I’m hoping the brief break from near-constant connectivity has shown my students that they have a choice in what to do in their downtime, while they’re waiting in line for coffee or walking home. I hope they seize the precious chance to daydream.
21. What did the author’s 15 students decide to do
A. Put more effort into chemistry. B. Put their phones aside for 14 days.
C. Disconnect themselves from each other. D. Live without the Internet for a school year.
22. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Students’ thoughts about technology.
B. Students’ expectations of the mini-course.
C. Students’ different reactions at the beginning stage.
D. Students’ emotions at the end of the mini-course.
23. What does the author like doing in her moments alone
A. Making up stories. B. Imagining her future life.
C. Preparing for overseas travel. D. Reflecting on a funny conversation.
24. What did most students do when they got their phones back
A. They kept their phones switched off.
B. They went straight back to social media.
C. They made changes to their phone screens.
D. They had their phones recharged immediately.
25. Which of the following is right according to the passage
A. The students would never use the smart phones again.
B. The author had a difficult conversation with his students.
C. The mini-course didn’t get the expected result.
The students began to enjoy the present time.
B
Most human language tends to take a happy view on life, a new study suggests.
A team of scientists used big data techniques to examine a massive amount of data on 10 languages from Korean Twitter feeds(信息) to Russian literature. They found that the most commonly used words in each language all leaned towards the positive. The research was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The new research builds on some old ideas about language. “ The concept has been around for a while that maybe we naturally tend to communicate in a way that encourages us to get along,” Christopher Danforth, co-author of the study, told Live Science.
In 1969, psychologists(心理学家) at the University of Illinois came up with the idea, called the Pollyanna hypothesis（假设）, that humans have a universal tendency to use positive words more often than negative ones. But those findings were based on small studies.
In the new study, Danforth and his team took a more data-driven approach. The researchers analyzed billions of words from English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian, Portuguese, Korean Chinese (simplified), Russian, Indonesian and Arabic. The words came from two dozen types of sources such as books, news outlets, social media, websites, television and movie subtitles, and music lyrics.
The researchers identified about 10,000 of the most commonly used words for each language, and asked native speakers to rate the happiness of these words on a scale(范围) from 1 to 9, where 9 is a smiling face, 1 was a crying face, and 5 was middle. For example, English speakers rated the word “laughter” at 8.50 and the word “terrorist” at 1.30.
On average, the ratings showed that a Google search of Spanish websites had the highest score for the word happiness, followed by Portuguese Google searches, Portuguese Tweets and English Google Books. Chinese Google Books had the least happy words, followed by Korean movie subtitles and English movie lyrics. But across all languages and types of text, the median word happiness score was higher than 5 on the scale of 1 to 9. In other words, humans use more happy words than sad ones, the researchers said.
What would the psychologists in the article probably agree with
People all over the world tend to use negative words .
All human language holds a bright view on life.
People around the world prefer happy words to sad ones.
People have a tendency to communicate in a selfish way.
In what way is Danforth’s study an improvement over previous studies
A.The quality of data. B. The number of data.
C. The object of the study. D. The research environment.
How did Danforth and his team conduct their research
By classifying languages by topic. B. By rating the happiness of the words.
C. By interviewing native speakers. D. By identifying the most happy words.
According to Danforth’s study, which has the highest score for word happiness
English Google books. B. Portuguese Twitter.
C. Korean movie subtitles. D. Spanish Google searches.
What is the text mainly about
A feature of human language. B. The effect of positive languages.
C. Different ideas on human language. D. The development of human language.
C
Teenage sailors have been making headlines. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention — and sponsors. Young sailors also attract divided opinions. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the local government to cancel her voyage; yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seems there is confusion about the ability and independence of young people.
Consider the case of the Dutch girl, Laura Dekker. When her father agreed to her making a solo (独自的) voyage at age 13, the Dutch Council for Child Care prevented it. The World Sailing Speed Record Council also moved to discourage very young sailors by abolishing(废除) their age-based records in early 2009. So community control of children under 16 years already happens.
Teenage brains, the popular psychologists tell us, are likely to make wrong judgments. But such generalizations often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussing with the relevant, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.
But it is also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can gain achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. This can have the opposite effect of making them feel incapable because remarkable accomplishments are beyond them.
Teenage sailors should not be judged by preconceived ( 事先形成的) views about young people. But nor should “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to achieve extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing over-stresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.
31. What do we know about Jessica Watson
A. She wanted to attract potential sponsors .
B. She successfully completed her voyage.
C. She was discouraged by the Prime Minister.
D. She worked as a sailor for the local government.
32. Why does the author mention the Dutch girl in Para 2
A. To praise her for her bravery.
B. To stress she was overprotected.
C. To show community control over teenage sailors.
D. To explain the common independence of young people.
33.What does the underlined word “generalizations ” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. controls B. experiences C. faults D. opinions
34. What does the author think of teenagers’ independence
A. It is closely related to their age.
B. It often leads to wrong judgments.
C. It is developed through independent journeys.
D. It differs hugely from individual to individual.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards teenage sailors
A. objective B. indifferent C. subjective D. doubtful

The History of Tahitian Dance
In the early age of Tahitian dance, performances were symbolic and important, not just an art form. 36 For example, there was a dance that was performed to greet guests at an official ceremony. Other dances were designed for special ceremonies. Some dances were more personal, and people danced to challenge an opponent.
37 One of the most popular dance styles is Ote’a, which is performed by a large group of dancers. Another dance called a hivinau is usually performed as the last dance of a ceremony. It involves a group of dancers led by one dancer who may make up some movements.
Tahitian dance is performed to the accompaniment(伴随) of traditional music. Drums feature heavily in Tahitian music. Dance music is strongly rhythmic and powerful. Besides, nose flutes ( 鼻笛), also called vivo, are made from bamboo tubes with holes carved into them, and they are played by breathing out of the nose and into the flute. 38
It isn’t certain when or how Tahitian dance originally developed. It is a practice that dates back to ancient Tahitian people and their Maori ancestors. Dance was an important and popular cultural expression in Tahiti. 39 At that time, early British colonists ( 殖民者) who came to Tahiti found traditional Tahitian dance annoying and offensive. Therefore, they abolished most forms of dance in Tahiti.
Tahitian dance was illegal in Tahiti until the early 20th century. Traditional costumes were not used during this period, and only the hands, feet and face of the dancer could be exposed. 40 Although it had been influenced by European presence and the cultural changes in Tahiti, Tahitian dance has regained its importance as a unique expression of Tahitian culture and history.
A. However, it met with a problem during the 1800s.
B. Nowadays, there are different styles of Tahitian dance.
C. Native Tahitians had different dances for different purposes.
D. In the 1950s, a lot of effort was made to preserve the traditional dance.
E. While mastering Tahitian dance is challenging, anyone can learn the basic moves.
F. These instruments have been used to accompany Tahitian dance throughout history.
G. The popularity of Tahitian dance has transformed it into a privileged tool for tourism promotion.

Dear Kevin,
I’m so thankful/grateful to have such an excellent teacher like you. Under your careful and professional guidance, I have made great progress in English. The relaxing atmosphere in your class has encouraged me to bravely voice my opinions, which has greatly improved my fluency in speaking English.
For further improvement, I suggest that discussions in pairs or groups should be held. Not only will your oral class be more active, but it will also involve more students in the discussion. What’s more, it will be a good idea to include more interesting and interactive topics in your class so that we will be able to broaden our horizons and improve our speaking skills.
Thank you for your consideration and I sincerely hope that my suggestions will be of some use. Looking forward to your wonderful lessons next term!
Yours，
Li Hua

A: Hello, Mr. Jan Erick Freedman. You’re a frequent traveler. And we also know that you eat out twice a day. How come you’re so fond of eating out
B: When I got my first job back in 1982 and started travelling, I had no other choice but eat out. I found that I felt different due to what I was eating, so I tried to find places that served food that made me feel good. The secret was the quality of the food and how well the food was prepared. I made an effort to find good restaurants as well as nice dishes.
A: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants
B: I’ve lived in many cities and when I moved back to Sweden from the United States, people asked me where to go and eat when they went to cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish club magazine and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together since I had all the facts about the restaurants I’ve been to. I started to do that.
A: How do you find restaurants
B: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to the people at the street market or take a walk and look for a place for myself. I never asked a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go empty restaurants or places with menus too difficult to understand.

At the beginning of the tour, we’ll start with the most important place in my town, which is the Plaza Leon. The Plaza Leon, which is more than 100 years old, is a gathering place for young people on Friday and Saturday nights, and for parents and children on Sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the Plaza, which have white sidewalks and treeline. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Femando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally we come to Horatio Street on which there are two universities, one of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it’s my favorite street of all.
