第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分65分)
第一节(共15小题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选现(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Discover the Best of Beijing
Beijing’s rich culture and powerful atmosphere offer travellers a sensory feast.
Archaeological Site
A must — see for history buffs, the Ming Tombs scenic area contains the mausoleums (陵墓) of 13 of the 16 emperors who ruled China during the Ming Dynasty from 1368 to 1644. Three of the 13 mausoleums are open for visitors and offer an intriguing glimpse into Chinese history, grand Chinese architecture, and the cultural importance of ancestor worship. The Ming Tombs are located close to some entry points to the Great Wall, which makes it easy to combine the two sites during the same day trip.
UNESCO Site
The Forbidden City, today also known as the Palace Museum, was the home of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for 500 years until 1911. Located in the very heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City is a remarkable portrayal of Chinese history, culture, civilization, and architecture. The Palace Museum is the world’s largest palace complex and is said to have almost 1,000 buildings and 9,999 rooms.
Cultural Experience
To get a glimpse of Beijing before its magnificent glass buildings and skyscrapers, head to Gulou Street to explore one of the city’s remaining traditional neighborhoods, the hutongs. Hutongs are areas with narrow lanes and single story courtyard houses, but the city’s rapid modernization has left only a few of these historic neighborhoods standing. Go back in time and explore the hutongs around the Drum and Bell Towers, two landmark buildings that were used for telling time since the 13th century.
Best Day Trip
Even though the Summer Palace is located just 15 kilometers outside of central Beijing, a visit there is like entering another world. Consisting of palaces, lakes, and gardens, the Summer Palace was an imperial garden built by the Qing Dynasty for royal families to rest and entertain. It is the largest and best preserved imperial garden still in existence in China.
Most Iconic Place
The Great Wall of China is certainly not to be missed during your visit to Beijing. More than 27,000 people visit on an average day, which is an excellent reason for considering the less famous entry points, such as Jinshanling and Simatai. Some sections offer unique hiking opportunities with breathtaking landscapes of the surrounding mountains with the deserted wall snaking mysteriously into the horizon. For an experience you’ll never forget, consider camping out for a night at one of the watchtowers.
21.The underlined word “complex” means “________”.
A.difficult things B.connected things C.similar buildings D.large palaces
22.What is the largest imperial garden in China
A.The Palace Museum. B.The hutongs.
C.The Drum and Bell Towers. D.The Summer Palace.
23.Where can you admire breathtaking view of the mountains
A.At the Ming Tombs. B.At the Great Wall.
C.At the Drum and Bell Towers. D.At the Summer Palace.
B
“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smartphones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smartphones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 per cent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction,” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2, 000 parents of children aged 2—16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
24.According to Professor Greenfield, what’s the possible result of using digital media in education
A.Being in bad terms with family members. B.Making more mistakes when taking exams.
C.Falling far behind others in all schoolwork. D.Failing to relate to other people’s emotions.
25.What do scientists think of the results of Greenfields experiment
A.They are alarming for people. B.They are far from perfect.
C.They are quite surprising. D.They don’t need to be improved.
26.What can we know from the text
A.Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.
B.Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.
C.Students living without screens did much better in studies.
D.Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces.
27.What is the purpose of the text
A.To warn us to stay away from the Internet.
B.To show screens do harm to emotions.
C.To show a digital world.
D.To explain how people become the Internet addicts.
C
Researchers recently offered the most complete examination yet of the history of penguins. They said penguins came from a common ancestor shared with a group of seabirds like albatrosses. Penguins first developed the ability to dive, and then lost the ability to fly as they adapted to water.
The earliest-known penguin is called Waimanu manneringi, from New Zealand. It is believed to have lived 61 million years ago. Penguins live mainly in the southern hemisphere. The Galapagos penguin is the only one found north of the equator. Daniel Ksepka of the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, is the co-writer of the study that was published in Nature Communications. Ksepka noted that penguins are appealing animals. He added that they are interestingly charming creatures. Apart from their funny upright posture, they love, they fight, and they steal, making it really easy to imagine them having all the same motivations as people.
The study proposes that changes in world temperatures and in major ocean currents have been important drivers of penguin evolution. Theresa Cole is the study’s lead writer. Cole said the research found a number of genes likely involved in physical changes known as adaptations.
Such adaptations include gene transforms that shift the way penguins see the world. Penguins’ vision is more sensitive toward the blue end of the color spectrum(光谱). Blue light goes more deeply into the ocean than light at the red end of the spectrum. Genes that help birds detect salty and sour tastes are active in penguins. But genes that help detect bitter and sweet tastes become inactive. Those may no longer be needed as penguins find food in cold, salty water and usually swallow the whole fish. Penguins show changes in their wing ones and a reduction of their flight feathers. Penguins also have reduced air spaces in the bone and the ability to store more oxygen in their muscles for long dives.
28.What does the underlined word “hemisphere” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Deep ocean. B.Earth’s pole.
C.Half globe. D.Large land.
29.Which of the following makes people tend to imagine penguins sharing human’s inner desires
A.Penguins’ habitats. B.Penguins’ appearances.
C.Penguins’ characters. D.Penguins’ behaviors.
30.What mainly cause penguins to develop
A.Physical changes from gene transforms. B.Changes of geographical environment.
C.Interactions with human beings. D.Competitions with other animals.
31.What is presented in the last paragraph
A.How penguins survive by adaptions. B.Why penguins change their body.
C.How penguins are unique. D.What damages penguins’ genes.
D
To dye (染色) clothes by machines is very common now. But in ancient times, the whole process was completed by hands. This skill is called tie-dye (扎染). It is said that tie-dyed clothes appeared in the Qin Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, tie-dyed clothes became very popular and the most beautiful ones were sent to the emperors as gifts.
Yang Cheng, a 52-year-old man, was well-known for his tie-dye skills. He started learning tie-dye in the 1980s. Later, he went to other countries to learn different ways of tie-dye, such as Japan, India and France. He has been studying tie-dye for 35 years and he wants more people to know it. At present, he teaches tie-dye in schools, communities and companies. More than 100, 000 people have learned from him.
Tie-dye is one of Chinese intangible cultural heritages (非物质文化遗产). It has become very popular among people, even children can do it for fun. Liu Mei is a teacher at a kindergarten. She teaches kids to dye scarves. They tie a white scarf together at first, then they put the scarf into the dye. After they finish, there are some amazing pictures on it.

It can be a challenge to learn a new language like English. 36 Here are some tips to help you become a better English learners.
Studying every day comes first. Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours according to some linguists (语言学家). Rather than memorize passively for a few hours or review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. 37
Keep things fresh. Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much, and 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. 38
39 Talking with English natives, watching English movies or listening to English music whenever you have a chance can also help you unconsciously do better in pronunciation, speech patterns as well as listening.
Writing exercises are a great way to practice. Take 30 minutes at the end of the class or study to write down what happened during your day. 40 By making a habit of writing, you will find your writing skills improve over time.
A.Speak, watch and listen.
B.It is true that you are gifted in writing.
C.It is not easy to learning a new language well.
D.But with right learning methods, you can get over it.
E.It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
F.As little as 30 minutes a day can improve your English skills over time.
G.The variety will keep your attention focused and make studying more fun.
