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
Zion National Park
Few outsiders visited the region until a national land survey in 1908 first made the
area known to the general public. The natural beauty of the region struck the surveyors
and they encouraged President Taft to protect it. On July 31, 1909, Taft set aside about
16,000 acres for Mukuntuweap National Monument to protect the region. In1918,
Munkutuweap National Monument became Zion National Monument, and in 1919, Zion
National Park was created, which was among the earliest additions to the the U. S.
National Park System.
Where to find the park’s best trails(小径)
Zion Canyon (峡谷) has many popular trails, from easy hikes like Emerald Pools (3.5
km) and the Riverside Walk (3.5k m) to the difficult one that leads to Scout Lookout (6.2
km).
The park’s most popular hike is The Narrows. Much of the journey is up the Virgin
River through an amazing canyon at the north end of Zion Canyon, so be prepared to get
wet. Most people only hike a mile or so up the canyon. “The Narrows puts you deep in the
heart of a wide canyon, showing the power of the river that formed the area,” says Kyle
Sheppard, who works at the park.
Backpackers (背包 客)can try the West Rim Trail (22.8km) across the wilderness
Horse Pasture Plateau to Lava Point, where another trail connects to Kolob Canyons in the
park’s northwest corner.
The best place for seeing wildlife
More than 290 bird varieties have been found in the park. “A visit to a river, or a pine
forest will give you a chance to see plenty of different birds,” says Ally O’Rullian, the
park’s communications specialist. “Birds are very active in the early morning and late
afternoon. They sing more at these times, making it easier to find them than at noon.”
21. When was Zion National Park set up
A. In 1908. B. In 1909.
C. In 1918. D. In 1919.
22. What is special about The Narrows
A. It runs along a river. B. It is loved by backpackers.
C. It has the longest trail. D. It is discovered by a tourist.
3
23. What might Ally O’Rullian advise visitors to do in Zion National Park
A. Keep quiet at noon. B. Watch birds in the early morning.
C. Sing songs by a river. D. Feed wild animals in the forest.
B
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and
take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn’t work out, you’ll have
something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on,
“the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many
awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret
ignoring her mom.“I don't know how to use a computer,” she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography (自传), After All, her second book is less about life
as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money
from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an
organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like
this,” she says. “I didn’t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things
get better when we’re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”
But she hasn’t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that
awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First,
she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In
a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈).
Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ─ again ─ and take control of her
diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit,
overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the
dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, ‘why me ’
about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn’t do any good. No one is immune (免疫
的 ) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by
helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second
time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
24. Why did Mary feel regretful
A. She didn’t achieve her ambition. B. She didn’t take care of her mother.
C. She didn’t complete her high school. D. She didn’t follow her mother’s advice.
25．We can know that before 1995 Mary___________________.
A. had two books published B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer D. supported the JDRF by writing
4
26. Mary’s second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her .
A. living with diabetes B. successful show business
C. service for an organization D. remembrance of her mother
27. When Mary received the life-changing news, she_______________.
A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet
C. wanted to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way
C
The sun rises over the Cordillera mountain ranges in the Philippines, lighting up the
beautiful terraced rice fields. Rows of terraces（梯田）wrap around the mountainsides from
the ground to the very mountaintops, as far as the eye can see. Built with stone walls at
least 1, 000 years old, possibly 2, 000 years，they are maintained by the ancient tradition
and the lifestyle of the local Ifugao people. But life here is changing，and with it comes
threats to this World Heritage Site.
Young people are influenced by modern media and no longer want to work such long
hours. More educational opportunities mean that many choose to make a life outside of the
villages and rice fields. Roads are being built, allowing trucks bearing agricultural goods
and buses bringing more tourists to and fro. More tourists mean the need for more water
and food, and the production of more waste and pollution. Ugly tall buildings, rather than
beautiful traditional wooden homes，spring up in some villages.
Can these changes be managed so that the terraces continue to produce rice, and
remain a beautiful part of our world heritage Jimmy Padchanan, an official of the village
of Mayoyao, said in an interview, “We are combining the old societies with the new，while
maintaining many of our values.” He and the local people were confident that they would
keep the best of the new and the strength of the past to protect the terraces, which are
described as “a living cultural landscape of breathtaking beauty”.
28. What do we know about the Cordillera terraces from the first paragraph
A. They are often lit up at night.
B. They are covered with various crops.
C. They are built at the foot of the mountain.
D. They are maintained in old ways.
29. What does the underlined “it” refer to
A. The changing life.
B. The maintenance of terraces.
C. The ancient tradition.
D. The lifestyle of local people.
5
30. Which problem are the Cordillera terraces facing nowadays
A. Media pay too much attention.
B. Many youths left the area.
C. Tourists cause safety concerns.
D. Agricultural land is largely taken up.
31. According to the text, what will the local people do in the future
A. Stop the modernization of the region.
B. Open our mind to new ideas.
C. Have a mix of old and new.
D. Involve more development in the area.
D
Some people use their brains to create art. Others use them to solve math problems.
Some do both — plus a host of other actions.
The brain has two halves called hemispheres(半球). Although the left and right sides
look similar, they control different functions. The left side management on the right side
of the body, and the right side does the opposite. This has led some people to suggest that
the two halves are specialized. This became a very popular idea about how the brain works.
But it isn’t really true.
The idea of left and right brains began with neuroscientist Roger Sperry in the 1950s.
He studied how the two sides communicate through a bundle of nerve fibers (神经纤维)
called the corpus callosum. Doctors found that cutting this connection could help with
epilepsy (癫痫). This surprising result led Sperry to work with patients who had gotten
their corpus callosum cut.
Sperry asked these volunteers to cover one eye at a time. Then he showed them a
series of words. People could only recall words they viewed with their right eyes, not their
left. When shown objects, people could draw things they saw with their left eyes, but
could not describe them in words. These results suggested that the ability to use and
understand language is based in the left side of the brain. Sperry’s research changed our
understanding of the brain.
Today, we have advanced tools like MRI that help us see how the brain works.
“Brain imaging shows that everything is interconnected,” says Michelle Ellefson, a
neuroscientist, who works at the University of Cambridge in England. “The thinking now
is that although there may be one area largely responsible for some sort of skill, it doesn’t
work on its own.”
So next time a test or a friend tells you that you’re “left-brained” or “right-brained”,
remember: You have your whole brain to thank for all the amazing things you can do.
6
32. What is the misunderstanding about our brains according to the text
A. The left and right sides are similar.
B. Each half specializes in different tasks.
C. Two halves of our brains are interconnected.
D. The left side management more often.
33. What does the author want to explain by mentioning Sperry’s research
A. Why doctors worked with these volunteers.
B. When we could improve our language skills.
C. Which was the practical way to protect our eyes.
D. Where the idea of left and right brains came from.
34. What can be inferred from Ellefson’s words
A. Areas on both sides of the brain team up.
B. The right brain is responsible for creativity.
C. Scientists need do further research on the brain.
D. Sperry’s study still makes sense in modern times.
35. What does the last paragraph suggest
A. Everyone has a different personality.
B. A friend can help us see our weakness.
C. We use both sides of our brains all the time.
D. It’s easy to tell that someone is right-brained.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项
为多余选项。
What is moderation (适度) Basically, it means eating only as much food as your
body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 36 But
it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something
nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. 37 It actually
takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat
slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, especially in front of the TV or
computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at
hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready,
like cookies. 38

Control emotional eating. 39 Many of us also turn to food to deal with
unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier
ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
40 A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating
small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat
dinner earlier and fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest
that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive system a long break
each day may help to regulate weight.
A. Eat properly throughout the day.
B. We don't always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C. Don't swallow a meal on the way to work.
D. Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.
F. For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now.
G. That won't lead to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.

Caring for the Elderly: Teaching Seniors Tech Skills
This past weekend, I took part in the “Caring for the Elderly” activity to teach senior
citizens how to use their smartphones.
Last Saturday the activity was held at a local community center where around 20
elderly residents presented. We first explained the basic features of smartphones. We then
demonstrated how to make calls, send text messages and photos. We also showed them
popular apps like WeChat, camera and weather apps.
By helping the elderly use smartphones, not only did it allow them to better connect
with loved ones, but it also gave us a chance to appreciate seniors and feel rewarded for
contributing.
