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
The blooming of social media and interactive smartphone-based apps has proved that e-marketing is an unchangeable trend. In the case of China, the latest battlefield is beauty camera apps, which have become an overnight hit in the West.
1. MeituPic
Developed by the Xiamen-based Meitu Inc, MeituPic is the company’s flagship beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users. The app has drawn some 456 million users, who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.
In addition to MeituPic, Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus, Poster Labs and Meipai, each specializing in facial feature improvement, video editing and many other features.
2. Pitu
Tian Tian Pi Tu, is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent. Similar to other photo-editing apps, Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters, blemish(瑕疵) removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from.
Launched in 2014, Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs). While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu’ s apps, some argue that the user base of Tencent’ s gaming products and chat applications, such as QQ and WeChat, gives Pitu great potential for further growth. According to Chinese app watchers, Pitu’ s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic. 80 percent of Pitu’ s users are younger than 25, giving the app more room to try out more new features.
3. FaceU
In contrast with most other beauty apps, FaceU, focuses more on the social feature, encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers (贴纸) — and the strategy is undoubtedly working. Launched in 2016, the app, which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35, has twice made it onto the Apple store’ s Chart for top apps.
21. Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps except ______.
A. Meipai. B. MeituPic. C. Tian Tian Pi Tu. D. Beauty Plus.
22. What gives Tian Tian Pi Tu more room to grow potentially?
A. The amount of Meitu Apps’s potential users. B. Users of Tencent’s gaming products and chat apps.
C. The various kinds of photo-editing functions. D. The room to try out more new features.
23. According to the passage, what do the three Apps have in common?
A. They mainly target young users. B. They all launched in 2016.
C. They specialize in photo editing. D. They are popular and hot.
B
I live in the center of the city and there is a large parking lot full of parking spots nearby.Rain is a rare occurrence in LA, so cars easily collect pollutants and dust.Together with my friends, I decided it should be a kind gesture to surprise the owners with a car wash.So we bought car washing supplies and brought out all the bath towels we could find. With all the supplies in hand,we were able to convince another roommate to help out as well and we began watering down the cars.
Every once in a while,someone would come by and asked us seemingly stupid men,“Who told you to wash the cars?”or,even better,“who paid you to wash their cars?” We explained we just wanted to do something kind.But our response was often met with an even more confused look.As the afternoon went on,some other friends that came by understood our goal of the spontaneous event and started helping out with some of the duties.First one friend then two,and by the time we had cleaned the entire lot,we had an entire car washing crew with independent individually assigned tasks and duties.
I wasn't cleaning cars to be able to afford a new phone.I was cleaning cars simply because I wanted to offer the car owners kindness.There was no equipment to weigh our value created.We couldn't measure our success in dollars earned over the time spent washing cars when we could have been earning twice as much at work.
I now realize,first hand,that there is a special energy created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in service of others and maybe,like me,you'll find it's actually the greatest gift you'll ever get.
24.What attitude did passers-by show towards the author's behavior?
A.Curious and puzzled. B.Doubtful and fearful.
C.Moved and respectful. D.Supportive and appreciative.
25.Why did the author decide to wash the cars?
A.To earn money to buy a phone. B.To do a good deed for the car owners.
C.To set a good example to his friends. D.To remind the drivers of their dirty cars.
26.How did the author complete cleaning the cars?
A.With the permission of the drivers. B.By cooperating with his friends.
C.By attracting strangers to join them. D.Under the leadership of one of his friends.
27.What can we learn from the text?
A.There is a lack of rain in the city the author lives in.
B.The car owners felt grateful to the author and his friends.
C.Some of the author's friends stopped cleaning the cars halfway.
D.The author and his friends clean the cars willingly day and night.

Luciano Baietti, a retired school headmaster from Italy, holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees. The 70-year-old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy, and is getting ready to get his 16th.
Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard of, but 15 is apparently quite impressive, since it’s only been done by one man. Although he spends his days working around his house and garden, like most people of his age; at night, Baretti turns into a student again. Every morning, at 3 a. m., when most of the world is sleeping, he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp. He claims studying helps keep his mind active and that every degree he has obtained has helped broaden his knowledge of the world around him.
“Thanks to books, I feel free. After all, the words share the same root,” he says, referring to the Italian words libro (book) and libero (free). He claims to have been inspired by the 19th century French essayist Louis-Francois Berlin, whose portrait is also on display in his study, alongside his many framed university degrees, and whom he describes as “a man of culture and knowledge”.
Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002, after his eighth degree. Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection.
“Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go.” At 70-years-old, Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree, this time in food science.
Probably the most important thing about Baietti’s achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school, and volunteering with Italy’s Red Cross. The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst for knowledge didn’t affect his professional activity and his family life. He spent 3 hours studying every day, and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his thesis.
28. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Louis - Francois Berlin is on good terms with Baietti.
B. Baietti is the first Italian to break a Guinness record twice.
C. Nobody but Baietti has ever got more than one college degree.
D. Challenging himself opens up a broader world to Baietti.
29. Baietti can be best described as?_________?.
A. honest and considerate?????????????????????????????????? ??????? ?B. optimistic and generous
C. determined and hardworking?????????????????????????? ???? ? ??D. reliable and imaginative
30. The key to Baietti’s success is_________ .
A. the support from his family B. his eagerness for fame
C. his nonstop daily learning D. his unusual brain and energy
31. What lesson can we learn from the story of Baietti?
A. Well begun is half done. B. Never too late to learn.
C. Take things as they come. D. Strike the iron while it is hot.
D
“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has brought about weary groans over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance(服从)and to inquire into the nature of one's rubbish.
Violators?face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan($29).For repeat violators,the city can add black marks to their credit records,making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tonnes of garbage a year,more than London's annual output and rising quickly.But like other cities in China,it lacks a recycling system.Instead,it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste,plucking out whatever can be reused.This has limits.As people get wealthier,fewer of them want to do such dirty work.The waste,meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China churns out 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous(有害的),the distinctions among which can be confusing,though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin,forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most vexing(令人烦恼的)are the short windows for dumping(倾倒)trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out;no one wants to look bad.
32.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the trash-sorting regulations. B.To explain the four categories of the waste.
C.To present residents’ complaints about trash dividing. D.To show the goal of trash-sorting regulations.
33.What does the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.People who don't sort the waste. B.People who argue with the monitors.
C.People who don’t throw the trash on time. D.People who are against the trash-sorting rules.
34.What makes the residents upset most about the rules?
A.Complex distinction among the four categories of trash.
B.Short scheduled time for throwing away the trash.
C.Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage.
D.Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Restart of Trash-sorting B.A Great Change in Tackling Litter
C.A New Era of Garbage Sorting D.A Craze for Learning Waste Sorting
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。
Cold Weather Helps Your Body
We think of winter as cold and flu season, but the chilly temperatures have powerful biological upsides too.
Boosts your brain
36 Studies have found that people perform some cognitive(认知的) tasks(such as making decisions) better when the temperature is cooler. Research has also shown that people less tend to tackle complex tasks in the summer than in the winter. The brain requires glucose(葡萄糖) to function, but the body uses more of it in warmer temperatures to keep the body cool. That leaves less available fuel for reasoning and remembering tasks.
Burns calories
When its cold, your body works harder to keep your core temperature, which is typically about 98.6 degrees. 37 So tie up your boot: A recent study of 53 people showed that participants burned 34 percent more calories when they hiked in 14- to 23 -degree temperatures than they did hiking on 50-degree days.
Encourages better sleep
Your body's core temperature drops when you're trying to sleep.This process can take up to two hours in the summer, but it's much faster in winter. 38
Fights infections
Yes, you might get more colds during the winter. However, studies have shown that the immune(免疫的)system can be activated by colder temperatures, which improves our ability to fight infections. That said, the flu virus becomes stronger in cold, dry air, and time spent indoors increases your chance of infection. 39
Strengthens your heart
In cold weather, the heart works harder to pump blood and keep the body's core temperature. That's a good thing . 40 Once you warm up, you may be able to go farther than when it's hot outside. But if you are at risk for heart disease, be careful when exercising outdoors in the cold; the extra stress can cause problems.
A. Any activity can leave your heart driving.
B. Plus, with darker mornings, you naturally sleep later.
C. Colder temperatures can help you think more clearly.
D. Exercising in the winter makes heart muscles stronger.
E. Storing up too much ordinary fat can endanger our health.
F. Our bodies use a large amount of energy to keep us warm.
G. To reduce risk, get your annual flu shot, wash your hands frequently.

Strive for the University
I have been studying in high school for nearly a year and a half. I'm going to be an 18-year-old adult next year. It's time to make a plan for the rest of my high school studies.
The goal in my mind is to be admitted to a key university, such as Sichuan University. In order to achieve my goal, I must take various measures to improve myself. First of all, the key to improving my scores is to change my learning methods. Secondly, I should make full use of my precious time to improve my weak subjects.Third, Only by doing a lot of practice can I really master knowledge. Fourth, I should try to solve all kinds of difficult problems by thinking independently, instead of relying on others.
I believe that my grades will be greatly improved through my efforts. I am looking forward to entering a beautiful campus to learn more advanced scientific knowledge.
Strive for the University, and my university dream will come true.
