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
Many of the most striking beasts on the planet come in only two colors: black and white. These high-contrast markings represent some of the nature's most diverse evolutionary choices. For some animals, black -and- white coloring is a way to warn off natural enemies. For others, to keep insects away. For still others, it creates a clever cover. Spend some time exploring what science has discovered about these animals’ appearances, and you will see that basic black and white isn't so basic after all.
Skunk
Depending on the species, black skunks may wear white spots that act as a cover or white stripes(条纹)that signal enemies to watch out for their smelly spray.
Giant Panda
Resent insights into panda coloring have come from studying each body part separately. Black ears indicate fierceness, and distinct eye patches aid in individual recognition. The panda in white body hides it against snow, white its dark limbs(四肢) keep it from being spotted in forests, a compromise developed from its poor bamboo diet:Bamboo doesn’t let pandas build up enough fat to hibernate(冬眠), forcing them to spend winters in the snow.
Badger
Even when a badger is in its cave, its facial stripes can be seen, Zoologists say the warning coloration helps the small animal prevent natural enemies.
Blackbuck(male)
In bright sun, the buck’s white stomach reduces the effect of the shadow cast by his back, allowing him to appear one color and two dimensional---especially hiding from natural enemies in his own shadown.
21.Which animals can use their color to warn off natural enemies?
A. Skunk and Badger B. Giant panda and Zebra
C. Badger and Blackbuck D. Zebra and Blackbuck
22.White body and dark limbs help the giant panda to ________.
A. show fierceness B. store fat
C. recognize individuals D. take cover
23.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Which animals have black- and- white color?
B. How some animals protect themselves from harm.
C. Why so many animals wear black- and- white coats?
D. What science has discovered about different colors.
B
For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur’s passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.
Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother’s dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didn’t want to own it.”
Yet Laqueur’s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.
Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize.
“You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,’ she says. “If you work with traditional publishing, it’s more about what’s marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I’m cool with that.”
24.From Paragraph 2，we can learn that Laqueur _______.
A. was a part-time writer when she was young
B. didn’t like teaching dancing in fact
C. wanted to own a publishing house
D. was interested in running her mother’s studio
25.What made Laqueur change her attitude to business?
A. Her mother’s persuasion. B. The desire to make money
C. Self-publishing her novels. D. Her own passion toward art.
26.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “stole the show” in Paragraph 4?
A. became a failure. B. was shown to people.
C. got all the attention. D. was accidentally stolen.
27.What can be inferred from what Laqueur’s said?
A. Self-publishing will replace traditional publishing.
B. She will never use traditional publishing.
C. Traditional publishing only focuses on the market.
D. She enjoys the way of self-publishing.

When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance---nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.
Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(作料)to make one large piece of fabric. In my family，quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.
In the United States，quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.
Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”，where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.
Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then，we can tell where a person lived，what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.
Even today，women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft，just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times，and hopefully，her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.
32.What do we know about quilting？
A. It is a lost traditional craft.
B. It is a major means of making a living in the USA.
C. It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.
D. It was a way to carry on the American history.
33.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？
A. Introduce a new topic for discussion. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs
C. Add some background information. D. Praise the U.S.government's policy.
34.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to？
A. Working on the land. B. Participating in“quilting bees”.
C. Designing a quilting project. D. Clothing the family.
35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A. To instruct how to sew together fabric. B. To show the author's skills of quilting.
C. To tell about the struggle of women. D. To appeal for preservation of quilting.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分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。
How You Open Your Car Door Matters to Cyclists
The“Dutch reach”isn’t a new dance move or a random YouTube challenge. It’s a simple move that can help prevent harm to cyclists. And you might keep your car door safe in the process, too. 36.
Typically, a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. 37. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may unknowingly create an obstacle for a passing cyclist. The cyclist might be knocked down off the bike. The car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
38. However, the car door design and long-time habits have made the process automatically. Luckily，there’s a simple way to solve the problem. Open your car door with your other hand，using the Dutch reach. So instead of using your left hand, reach for the door handle with your right. 39. At the very least, you’11 look into your side view mirror to check for any traffic.
The Dutch are used to opening their car doors this way. All Dutch are taught it. It’s part of regular driver education. The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years in the Netherlands. In 2016 an American named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project. He wanted to popularize the practice in the United States. Charney’s efforts may be paying off. 40.
A. Pull the handle and the door is open.
B. This will force you to turn your body.
C. It is easy to do once you are used to it.
D. People are trying to change the way to open the car.
E. All you have to do is change how you open your door.
F. Several states now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’handbooks.
G. Clearly, the solution is for the person exiting the vehicle to check for traffic.

.Dear Jim,
Knowing that you’re good at maths, I think Zhusuan is your best choice among the school-based courses.
Zhusuan, which was widely used in Chinese life and remains a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, is a method of performing mathematical calculations with an abacus. Abacus-based mental arithmetic can not only promote your intelligence growth, but improve your attention span and memory. That is why I strongly recommend Zhusuan.
To do it well, you’ll have to prepare your own abacus. Besides, you may go to the school library to refer to or borrow some books on Zhusuan.
I really hope my advice will be of some help to you.
Best,
Li Hua
