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
We travel the world to experience an unfamiliar culture. It's an added bonus when the destination happens to be home to several cultures, thanks to its diverse population.
Toronto
Toronto happens to be one of the most diverse in the world. In fact, nearly half of Toronto's residents were born in another country. This cultural mix is most apparent in the city's community pockets, including Chinatown, Greek town, Little Italy etc. And although English is most widely spoken here, the streets are constantly filled with over 140 different languages.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is known and loved for its varied landscape, which offers opportunities to swim at the beach, hike in the park and explore a lively city all on the same day. That diversity also extends to its population — people from approximately 140 countries, speaking 86 different languages call the City of Angels home where visitors can get a taste of multicultural mix.
Sydney
English-speaking visitors to Sydney won't have any trouble buying their tickets to the Opera House or ordering up some Aussie barbecue, as it's the main language used here. That said it's not the only language you may overhear. Approximately 250 different dialects are spoken in this Australian city. This makes sense, given that 40 percent of the population were born overseas.
Singapore
Singapore might be small, but it packs in a lot of diversity. The Southeast Asian destination has four official languages — English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil — and approximately 40 percent of its population were born abroad.
Where can people enjoy fascinating scenery?
A. In Singapore. B. In Toronto. C. In Los Angeles. D. In Sydney.
What do these four cities have in common?
More than half of the population were born overseas.
Travelers can kill time on the beach.
The majority of residents are Chinese.
People speak other languages besides English.
The text is probably helpful for those who are interested in .
A. touring and culture B. reading and writing
C. language teaching D. cooking and swimming
B
The birth of Britain's first cloned dog has been considered “a waste of money” and scientists said the process raised serious ethical (伦理的) concerns.
Sooam Biotech, a company in Seoul, said it had cloned the puppy, named Mini-Winnie, from a 12-year-old dog belonging to Rebecca Smith, who lives in the west London. She had won a contest run by the company which hoped to sell the service to pet owners for 60,000 pounds a time.
Mini-Winnie was born after scientists took skin cells from Mr Smith's pet and dropped them into donor eggs to make embryos ( 胚 胎 ). The puppy must remain in Korea for six months to satisfy British quarantine (检疫) laws.
But researchers warned that while a cloned dog might look similar to its biological parent, it would be a very different animal. “You would have many chances of replicating ( 复 制 ) your favorite pet by choosing one from Battersea Dogs Home,” said Robin Lovell-Badge, a geneticist at the National Institute for Medical Research in London. Dusko Ilic, a stem cell scientist at King's College London, said, “It is extremely unlikely that a puppy cloned from a favorite pet will behave in the same way. As time passes by, the differences will be more and more pronounced, especially personality traits. It is an absolute waste of money.”
The cloning process is controversial ( 有争论的) because the animals are often born with diseases or die soon after birth.
I think, it's unnecessary to try to clone pets for pet owners. First, it's really costly. Second, the cloned pet is actually another dog. Third, there are many homeless dogs for people to adopt in shelters. So why not just adopt a dog instead?
What may be the reason for Sooam Biotech's work on cloning pets?
A. To pay back to society. B. To comfort sad pet owners.
C. To make money out of it. D. To win an important contest.
Why doesn't the cloned dog enter Britain now?
Because people in Britain are against it.
Because British quarantine laws don't allow it.
Because it needs to stay in Korea for research.
Because the company is afraid that it will die.
What can we learn from what Dusko Ilic said in paragraph 4?
Cloned pets are usually not lovely.
A pet dog looks similar to its biological parent.
It's possible to replicate one's favorite pet.
Cloned pet can be very disappointing.
According to Paragraph 5, why is the cloning process controversial?
A. It is costly. B. It is too difficult.
C. The result is unsatisfactory. D. It can spread diseases.
C
An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu (臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.
“It’s supposed to stink (难闻). Just give it a try!” my grandmother said.
Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother's house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish. Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle's condition of Down syndrome ( 唐氏综合征). He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.
However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke ( 抚 摸 ) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle's Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.
Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice (偏见). As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.
The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.
Why did stinky tofu become the author's favorite dish?
It was related to family tradition.
His appetite for food had increased.
Grandma encouraged him to try it.
It turned out to be quite delicious.
The author's attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when .
Chan's footsteps woke up the author
Chan showed his friendliness to the author
Chan displayed his love towards his mother
Chan's blank expression made the author smile
What did the author think of his uncle at first?
A. He was a strange person. B. He was a quiet person.
C. He was an energetic person. D. He was an immature person.
What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A person's taste changes over time.
We shouldn't judge by appearances.
Blood is thicker than water.
You are what you eat.
D
Student loan (贷款)debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the country's overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.
Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country's economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.
To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.
Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.
Yet the professors' research doesn't include what might to financial institutions or the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran
into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief then he might actually
become more reckless (轻率的)with his borrowing in the future.
No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.
How does the author introduce the problem of student loan?
A. By making a comparison. B. By making classifications. C.By setting down general rules. D. By presenting some statistics.
What can we learn about student loan debt relief?
It will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.
It has already been carried out the United States.
It aims to encourage more students to borrow money.
It will prevent a person from landing a well-paying job.
What is the professors' attitude to debt forgiveness?
A. Uncaring. B.Cautious C. Disapproving. D. Positive. 35.What's the main idea of the text?
Growing global student debt fuels search for solutions.
Student loan debt is the most serious problem worldwide.
Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble.
People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.

Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering (触发) events, personality traits (特征), and our assessment of situations. 36 Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 37 The reason why someone is triggered by
something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 38 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself.
Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that’s why triggers one person may or may not trigger another.
