第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My friend Erin and I decided to hike Newfoundland’s East Coast Trail. Neither of us had backpacked longer than three days and now we were in for 13, but we were excited: Nature! Strength! Character! Our hike gave me all of those things in cruel abundance but there was also something unexpected.
In the city, I was a girl who didn’t chat with my seatmate on the subway or in a grocery line, and I certainly didn’t ask for help unless I was desperate. But on this hike I had to learn new ways to deal with.
Over our first two days we covered less than 30 km, most of it in the rain. On our second day, as we appeared looking like cats left in the rain, a woman called Jenny and her parents caught sight of us and took pity. “Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?” said one of them.
A brief escape from the rain, a warm drink, chairs to sit on — it was too good to pass up. We hurried to their house. The offer of tea turned into an offer of a shower. The hot shower turned into an offer of a brunch. After brunch （早午餐）, we lay on couches, listening to the CBC, and making casual conversation. When the rain stopped, we said goodbye to them.
Back in civilization, we sent Jenny a text message telling her we’d made it — and that maybe we’d made it because of her. If we hadn’t had a chance to rest, to dry out, to refuel with real food, we wouldn’t have made it.
I knew that the trip would change me: I’d get stronger, tougher and more confident, but I didn’t expect this hike taught me about trust and kindness. It helped me break down that hard city-bred barrier of distrust toward strangers and reminded me of the beauty of human connection.
21. Before the hike, the author _____.
A. never asked for help
B. refused to open up to people she didn’t know
C. had predicted the bad weather
D. had known Jenny for a long time
22. Which word can be used to describe Jenny and her parents?
A. Generous. B. Honest.
C. Modest. D. Brave.
23. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Kindness is the best choice.
B. My attitude towards hikes changed.
C. I changed my attitude towards strangers.
D. The kindness of strangers kept me going on.
B
It’s safe to say the new massage(按摩) chairs in Ruth Merrill are officially a hit. But Students’ Association (SA) says they are currently out of order due to overuse and improper use, and are awaiting repair. The mysterious “Do Not Use” signs first appeared on the massage chairs roughly two weeks after Campus Times first covered a story on them.
“This is why we can’t have nice things,” a second-year university student, Kamal Raji said. SA is glad the chairs, winners of last year’s 5K challenge, have proved so popular, but is also aware of the need to educate students on the do’s and don’ts of the chairs.
SA Vice President Jamal Holtz, a junior, says the chairs are frequently repositioned by students who come to use them, and can recall moving the chairs back to their proper position up to 12 times in one day. One day, he came in to find one of the chairs operating in a loop and unable to shut down, while the other chair was no longer reclining (倾斜). Thanks to the warranty(保修) that the SA government purchased with the chairs, their supplier, Brookstone, came in and made a conclusion, which confirmed that the frequent dragging had helped remove some parts of the chair.
It is expected that the chairs will be repaired within a week, but until now, SA is working to ensure the long-term use of the chairs.
SA Public Relations Officer junior Svarina Karwanyun says SA will soon publish a list of guidelines on using the chairs to help ensure their long-term use. The list includes time limitations and cleaning instructions for students who would like to clean them before their turn besides the daily cleaning the chairs undergo.
“We want the options available through the 5K challenge to be sustainable(可持续的),” Karwanyun said. The chairs do not exactly meet this standard, since the warranty will eventually end. Consistent sustainability could be achieved, Karwanyun said, by streamlining(合理化) the choices students can vote on so that they are all long-lasting.
Both Holtz and Karwanyun noted that enforcing proper care of the massage chairs would prove difficult, and that they would have to trust the students to follow the guidelines to keep the chairs around for as long as possible.
24. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The massage chairs are not used properly.
B. The massage chairs are not suitable for students.
C. The massage chairs are too nice to appear on campus.
D. The massage chairs are not welcomed by many students.
25.What is the main reason for the damage of the chairs?
A. They are frequently moved.
B. Their quality is not so good.
C. They are not washed for long.
D. Some parts of them are stolen.
26.What will happen to the massage chairs?
A. They will be taken away immediately.
B. Many measures will be taken to protect them.
C. They will be freely repaired by Brookstone all the time.
D. Only a certain number of students will be allowed to use them.
27. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____.
A. it is not proper to equip students with massage chairs.
B. it will be easy for students to follow the guidelines.
C. what happens next is up to the student body.
D. Holtz thought the students were to blame for the damage of the chairs .
C
Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colorful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection .
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein（蛋白质）， iron and zinc（not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants（抗氧化物质）. The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream". For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a "soft-serve" creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children 's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below .
28.What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein . B. They are high in vitamin A .
C. They have a pleasant taste. D. They are rich in antioxidants .
29.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A .To make them smell better . B.To keep their colour .
C. To speed up their ripening . D. To improve their nutrition.
30.What is "a juicer "in the last paragraph?
A . A dessert . B. A drink .
C. A container . D. A machine .
31. From which is the text probably taken ?
A . A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.
C. A research paper. D. A travel brochure.
D
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said, “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today----and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect( 感染)other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’ m just not creative.”I
“Do you dream at night when you’ re asleep?”
“Oh ,sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’ s pretty creative. Who does that for you ?”
“Nobody. I do it .”
“Really----at night, when you’ re asleep?”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”
32.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .
A. know more about the students.
B. make the lessons more exciting.
C. raise the students' interest in art.
D. teach the students about toy design.
33.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.
34. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake . B. Disadvantage.
C. Difficulty. D. Burden.
35. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of thinking.

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。
Chinese researchers have analyzed big data to find that university students with better academic performance are more likely to eat breakfast in the cafeteria, especially on cold days.
36 . That is: there is a significant positive relationship between college students’ academic performance and the regularity of campus daily life, in which having meals and taking a shower on time are two measuring factors(因素).
Teachers and administrators in most Asian countries often ask students to be self-disciplined （自律的） both in and out of class. “Do routines in life help a student get better academic performance? 37 ,” said Zhou Tao, one of the researchers.
Researchers from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in Chengdu, Sichuan province, collected about 30 million digital behavioral records of 18,960 college students in three years from 2012 to 2015. 38 , covering when they entered the library, took a shower, washed clothes, paid for meals in the cafeteria and other parts of daily routines.
The students with better performance are more likely to overcome difficulties and keep their routine even on cold mornings. 39 , the more self-disciplined they are and the better grades they can get, said Zhou Tao.
We are not aiming to ask all the students to live according to a same timetable, but to help school administrators detect their undesirable, abnormal behavior. 40 . For example ,students who are addicted to online games often have an irregular lifestyle and those who always live alone are likely to suffer depression, Zhou Tao added.
A. They then made a conclusion
B. We hope to answer this question
C. They can give them proper intervention(干预) in time
D. So they can take measures to stop this trend from spreading
E. The behavioral records were on their campus smart cards
F. Going to school without breakfast really does great harm to one’s health
G. The less the students are affected by weather conditions in keeping life routines

This is about an incident which took place a couple of years back.
I used to frequently visit an old age home run by the little sisters of the poor in our city Hyderabad. A.P. (India) There I met a gentleman by the name of Kurien who was in his late eighties. He served the Indian army and retired. He had one son who was well educated and also married. He lost his wife when he was seventy, and from then on, he lived with his son. He just neither bothered to take care of him nor respected him while he was in the house.
Mr. Kurien got dejected(灰心的) with the life in his house and decided to move into this old age home here in Hyderabad. Although he was taken good care of in the old age home, he felt lonely since there were few people he could talk with. As I visited the old age home more and more frequently, we became friends. We both began to share a lot of thoughts whenever we met and slowly it was a daily affair that I used to spend some time with him discussing what he was doing in the army, their daily schedule, marches(行军), camp food and fun which he used to share with a lot of joy.
I used to carry with me some snacks which we both used to sit under a tree and eat. I saw him really very happy in my presence. One day he told me with tears(泪水) in his eyes, “I really found a very helpful friend in you. I feel like living some more years to spend happy time with you.”
