第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，共34分）
第一节 （共12小题；每小题2分，共24分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Tom Fear was driving home on Hutchinson River Parkway last week when he thought he saw a large bag in the roadway. As he got closer; he realized it was not a bag but a bald eagle. He stopped his car at the roadside, and carefully walked into the roadway to hold up the bird with his hands. “It didn’t fight back at all. I had my arms crossed. Its head was more or less lying on my arm. It was not in great shape.”
Two women pulled over after seeing the 52-year-old with the bird and called the police, who contacted animal control expert Jim Horton from Quality Pro Pest & Wildlife Services. He said it’s the second time in the last few months that his company has been contacted to help an eagle in trouble. Horton said it’s great what Fear did for the bird, calling it “a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”
Missy Runyan, from the Friends of the Feathered and Furry Wildlife Center Incorporated, an organization in nearby Hunter, said the bird was first thought to be hit by a car but there was no wound. It was, however, suffering from lead poisoning（铅中毒）, which influences its eyesight. “It’s possible that it hit a tree or something with its wing, leaving it grounded,” said Runyan, who’s been taking care of injured eagles for the past 15 years.
Runyan said a wildlife officer was actually looking for the eagle after someone had called earlier in the day but it could not be found. She realized it was the same bird after the other call came in about it. Runyan, who is treating seven eagles now, said the infection（感染） in the eagle’s wing is being treated and it should be good to fly away in about a month and a half.
21. Which of the following can best describe Fear
A. Hard-working. B. Easy-going.
C. Well-educated. D. Kind-hearted.
22. What did the two women do after seeing Fear
A. They asked the police for help. B. They took care of the bald eagle.
C. They called an animal control expert. D. They sent the bird to an animal center.
23. What did Runyan talk about in paragraph 3
A. What she did for a living. B. The results of lead poisoning.
C. Why the eagle was wounded. D. The knowledge of saving eagles.
24. How is Runyan helping the eagle
A. By training it to fly. B. By treating its infection.
C. By learning where it came from. D. By reporting it to a wildlife officer.
B
We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s possible that we all have weakened conversational intelligence （智力）. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Regarding small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. “Small talk is the grease（润滑剂） for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction （互动） with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral（边缘的） members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Good manners are based on small talks,” he says.
25. What does the scene described in the first paragraph show
A. Feeling uneasy about complete silence. B. Discomfort from crowds.
C. Not enough interaction between strangers. D. People’s addiction to smartphones.
26. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people.
C. Making business deals. D. Focusing on a shared topic.
27. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people’s confidence.
C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good.
28. What is the best title for the text
A. Skills of communication B. Ways of Breaking Silence
C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Avoidance of Embarrassment
C
To appreciate that some questions are better than others, it helps to consider a few examples of questions that are bad. To find them, try playing Twenty Questions with a young child. In trying to guess an animal, a young child might ask: Is it a koala Is it an elephant （Not: Is it a mammal Does it live in Africa ） These are bad questions in the sense that they’re unlikely to supply an efficient solution to the problem of discovering the animal.
In the simplified world of Twenty Questions, it’s relatively easy to judge what makes a question good or bad. Unfortunately, producing good questions in the real world is often a more complicated （复杂的） affair.
For one thing, we don’t always have a single, clear goal. When we do have some practical goal, being sure about what it is can be a first step towards asking better questions. An article for business people, for example, suggests that in asking questions, it’s important to figure out whether you’re hoping to confirm what you think you know or to discover something new.
But when our aim isn’t to achieve some practical goal, things become murkier still. What, for example, is a good question for basic science What kind of question promotes self-discovery or insight And how can we learn to ask better questions in cases like these
Scientist David Stork suggests that just as we teach problem solving, we should teach “question posing” — the art of asking good questions, the questions that lead to further insight and discovery. Asking big, brave, exploratory questions isn’t always rewarded in adulthood. From preschool to high school, children move away from questions inspired by natural curiosity to those inspired by possible applications. Rather than “performing an act
of curiosity”, they’re often after the solution to some practical problem.
A first step towards asking better questions, then, might be to recognize the mental benefits brought by a question well raised, not just a question well answered. And we might do well to regain some of the youthful curiosity of young children’s questions — not necessarily by asking about koalas and elephants, but by letting some of our questions be guided by our basic curiosity, not only by our immediate goals.
29. Why are a young child’s questions about animals considered “bad”
A. They are simple to answer.
B. They are not inspired by curiosity.
C. They don’t contribute to working out the answer.
D. They are based on guesses rather than practical goals.
30. What may be a suggested way for people to ask questions
A. Pay more attention to the answers. B. Raise as difficult questions as possible.
C. Figure out the goals clearly. D. Consider more possible applications.
31. Which does the underlined word “murkier” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. more available. B. more understandable.
C. more unreliable. D. more confusing.
32. What’s the author’s attitude to the change of the way children ask questions at school
A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Reserved.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful — with all those suitcases and cries of“Are we there yet ” 33
Involving（使参与） young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems. “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Jason, a family travel researcher. “It’s really smart for parents to think like a kid. 34 ” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.
35 If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium（水族馆）.
One of Jason’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” he says. “ 36 ” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Jason read his kids a book about-a frog native to the island. Afterwards, his daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.
People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. 37 , When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family.
A. Most children really enjoy challenges.
B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems.
C. However, it can also be a highly meaningful activity.
D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience.
E. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.
F. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.
G. You can regard the trip as a 30-minute max type opportunity for the child.

Horton said it’s great what Fear did for the bird, calling it “a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”
Missy Runyan, from the Friends of the Feathered and Furry Wildlife Center Incorporated, an organization in nearby Hunter, said the bird was first thought to be hit by a car but there was no wound. It was, however, suffering from lead poisoning（铅中毒）, which influences its eyesight. “It’s possible that it hit a tree or something with its wing, leaving it grounded,” said Runyan, who’s been taking care of injured eagles for the past 15 years.
Runyan said a wildlife officer was actually looking for the eagle after someone had called earlier in the day but it could not be found. She realized it was the same bird after the other call came in about it. Runyan, who is treating seven eagles now, said the infection（感染） in the eagle’s wing is being treated and it should be good to fly away in about a month and a half.
21. Which of the following can best describe Fear
A. Hard-working. B. Easy-going.
C. Well-educated. D. Kind-hearted.
22. What did the two women do after seeing Fear
A. They asked the police for help. B. They took care of the bald eagle.
C. They called an animal control expert. D. They sent the bird to an animal center.
23. What did Runyan talk about in paragraph 3
A. What she did for a living. B. The results of lead poisoning.
C. Why the eagle was wounded. D. The knowledge of saving eagles.
24. How is Runyan helping the eagle
A. By training it to fly. B. By treating its infection.
C. By learning where it came from. D. By reporting it to a wildlife officer.

We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem It’s possible that we all have weakened conversational intelligence （智力）. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Regarding small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. “Small talk is the grease（润滑剂） for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction （互动） with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral（边缘的） members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Good manners are based on small talks,” he says.
25. What does the scene described in the first paragraph show
A. Feeling uneasy about complete silence. B. Discomfort from crowds.
C. Not enough interaction between strangers. D. People’s addiction to smartphones.
26. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people.
C. Making business deals. D. Focusing on a shared topic.
27. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk
A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people’s confidence.
C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good.
28. What is the best title for the text
A. Skills of communication B. Ways of Breaking Silence
C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Avoidance of Embarrassment
C
To appreciate that some questions are better than others, it helps to consider a few examples of questions that are bad. To find them, try playing Twenty Questions with a young child. In trying to guess an animal, a young child might ask: Is it a koala Is it an elephant （Not: Is it a mammal Does it live in Africa ） These are bad questions in the sense that they’re unlikely to supply an efficient solution to the problem of discovering the animal.
In the simplified world of Twenty Questions, it’s relatively easy to judge what makes a question good or bad. Unfortunately, producing good questions in the real world is often a more complicated （复杂的） affair.
For one thing, we don’t always have a single, clear goal. When we do have some practical goal, being sure about what it is can be a first step towards asking better questions. An article for business people, for example, suggests that in asking questions, it’s important to figure out whether you’re hoping to confirm what you think you know or to discover something new.
But when our aim isn’t to achieve some practical goal, things become murkier still. What, for example, is a good question for basic science What kind of question promotes self-discovery or insight And how can we learn to ask better questions in cases like these
Scientist David Stork suggests that just as we teach problem solving, we should teach “question posing” — the art of asking good questions, the questions that lead to further insight and discovery. Asking big, brave, exploratory questions isn’t always rewarded in adulthood. From preschool to high school, children move away from questions inspired by natural curiosity to those inspired by possible applications. Rather than “performing an act
of curiosity”, they’re often after the solution to some practical problem.
A first step towards asking better questions, then, might be to recognize the mental benefits brought by a question well raised, not just a question well answered. And we might do well to regain some of the youthful curiosity of young children’s questions — not necessarily by asking about koalas and elephants, but by letting some of our questions be guided by our basic curiosity, not only by our immediate goals.
29. Why are a young child’s questions about animals considered “bad”
A. They are simple to answer.
B. They are not inspired by curiosity.
C. They don’t contribute to working out the answer.
D. They are based on guesses rather than practical goals.
30. What may be a suggested way for people to ask questions
A. Pay more attention to the answers. B. Raise as difficult questions as possible.
C. Figure out the goals clearly. D. Consider more possible applications.
31. Which does the underlined word “murkier” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. more available. B. more understandable.
C. more unreliable. D. more confusing.
32. What’s the author’s attitude to the change of the way children ask questions at school
A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Reserved.

With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful — with all those suitcases and cries of“Are we there yet ” 33
Involving（使参与） young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems. “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Jason, a family travel researcher. “It’s really smart for parents to think like a kid. 34 ” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.
35 If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium（水族馆）.
One of Jason’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” he says. “ 36 ” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Jason read his kids a book about-a frog native to the island. Afterwards, his daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.
People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. 37 , When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family.
A. Most children really enjoy challenges.
B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems.
C. However, it can also be a highly meaningful activity.
D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience.
E. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.
F. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.
G. You can regard the trip as a 30-minute max type opportunity for the child.
