第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 42.5 分）
第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
A
I was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer last June. Finding out that I had breast cancer felt like I’d been locked up
in a prison cell, but I later found something unexpected: freedom.
Tests and procedures followed. Once the daily treatments started, I was tired out. The tiredness that came with cancer was not like any kind of tiredness I’d known before.
Then the magic happened.
I started to realize that this life change had brought an unexpected gift. The usual pressures of life gave way to a different kind of stress, but it came with self-discovery. I do what I can and don’t care about the rest. With the disease, decisions come more easily, and things that I’d previously weighted more heavily no longer matter as much. I don’t need a perfect home. What does matter now is having family and friends and a husband who can shoulder this new responsibility with me.
The doctor says my situation is very good and there’s a 91 percent chance that I’ll still be alive in 10 years. I look forward to simple things like my garden this spring, and going back to work when I’m healthy again. I’m also imagining the joy of getting my quiet and modest life back. It’s inspiring and there are lots of people there with me. And the professionals are really good at what they do.
I used to wonder how it would feel to be told I had cancer. Sure, my first reaction was fear, panic, sorrow, and anger. Then I found my strength. The fear is still there, but to my amazement, I am handling it. “You got this,” people say encouragingly.
What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. She felt as if she had lost her freedom. B. She was unable to walk out of the cell.
C. Cancer gave her something unexpected. D. Cancer cost her the ability to move freely.
We can know from the article that during her treatment, the author
A. was too tired to bear the treatment any more B. found that she could handle the treatment easily
C. grew more peaceful and valued her family more D. learned to be in a good state and free of pressure
What is the author’s attitude towards her future life?
A. Positive. B. Hopeless. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
B
Ishikawa Yumi had to work eight hours every day and her employer insisted that she should be in heels（高跟鞋 ）at work."Why do we have to hurt our feet at work,when men can wear flat shoes?"she complained on Twitter.The tweet exploded.
Encouraged,she gathered 18,800 signatures on a request calling for a ban on employers requiring women to wear high heels,which she handed in to the government last June.Ms Ishikawa became the face of the KuToo campaign.
More than 60%of Japanese women with jobs have been forced to put their feet into heels at work or have witnessed women partners having to,according to a survey.Female workers at a department store,must walk around the shop in 5cm heels.The former defence minister,Inada Tomomi,had to struggle about in heels even on the deck of a visiting American aircraft carrier.
Dress codes at many Japanese firms are strict.Some ban glasses for women（but not men）,because they are
unattractive.This is especially unreasonable for those who find contact lenses（隐形眼镜）uncomfortable.Women have always been told to follow the dress code,even if it causes pain,"says Ms Ishikawa.Japanese bosses,who tend to be older men,often expect their female workers to tolerate it.
The government made no quick reply.A former labour minister,who received Ms Ishikawa's request last year,insists that wearing high heels at work is"necessary and appropriate".The request itself has received no official reply so far.Japan is the second lowest out of the 29 rich countries in equality for women in the workplace.
But Japanese companies are slowly taking measures to improve the situation.In late March Japan Airlines announced that its female flight attendants can kick off their heels and replace skirts with trousers if they choose.AU three big mobile-phone operators have relaxed their rules on heels.Ms Ishikawa is working together with a shoe company to produce beautiful heel-less shoes."Society is changing,”says Ms Ishikawa.“We can't be ignored."Pointless rules about footwear may soon be gone.
What can we learn from the passage?
Japanese women rarely get their feet hurt at work.
Ms Ishikawa's tweet gained much attention from the public.
Ms Ishikawa is appealing to the public to punish employers.
Few Japanese women are forced to wear high heels at work.
Why does the author mention the former labour minister in Paragraph 5?
To show females are treated equally in Japan in the workplace.
To show the government has considered changing the situation.
To show the fight of females in Japan has a long way to go.
To show the government has difficulty in changing the situation.
Which of the following can best describe Ms Ishikawa?
A. Curious and devoted. B. Helpful and gifted.
C. Energetic and humorous. D. Brave and determined.
The author writes this passage mainly to.
call on people to break dress codes
introduce a campaign against dress codes
show the disadvantages of dress codes
explain the importance of dress codes
C
An experiment which saw salad seeds sent into space has given hope for the future of growing food on another planet, according to a recently-published study.
The findings have appeared after two kilograms of seeds spent six months on board the International Space Station(ISS)with British European Space Agency(ESA)astronaut, Tim Peake, as part of his Principia mission.
There, the seeds could have absorbed up to 100 times more radiation(辐射)than on Earth while being
influenced by the violent shaking from the stresses of space travel.
When the seeds returned to Earth in 2016,600,000 children from schools across Britain took part in an experiment, supported by the UK Space Agency, to plant them and monitor their growth, comparing it to that of seeds that had remained on Earth.
The results showed that, while the space seeds grew more slowly and were more sensitive to ageing, they were still able to survive.
Peake said, “When humans travel to Mars, they will need to find ways to feed themselves, and this research
helps us understand some of the biology of seed storage and germination(发芽) which will be important for future space missions.”
The Royal Horticultural Society(RHS)tasked 8,600 schools and groups across Britain to take part in the controlled study, recording their results as a scientist would.
It was part of a project called Rocket Science, led by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, in partnership with the UK Space Agency.
RHS manager Alana Cama said, “The Rocket Science experiment opened a window into space biology and allowed young people to be at the forefront of creative research.”
“This research project did more than just inspire; it furthered our understanding of the challenges around growing plants in unusual environments and the possibility of growing food on long-term space missions in the future. Inspiring a new generation of botanists and biologists will remain our goal to enrich everyone’s lives through plants.”
The findings of the experiment indicate that
salad seeds sent into space turned out a failure
astronauts successfully grew salad seeds on Mars
the future of growing plants in space looks bright
the radiation makes it impossible for plants to survive
Unlike those on Earth, the seeds sent into space
A. can grow 100 times larger in size B. provide enough food for astronauts
C. stop growing when returning to Earth D. are more likely to show signs of ageing
720725231775Which word can be filled in the blank to complete the research steps?
A. update B. observe C. protect D. improve
What can we learn from what Alana Cama said?
Growing plants in unusual environments is no longer a challenging task.
A new generation of botanists and biologists takes the lead in the research.
The project inspires the interests of the young generation in creative fields.
The exploration of growing food in space is the central mission in the future.
D
Even from the basement,they could hear the bombs.
The basement was filled with the sound of crying children.It was crowded with people.
For comfort,to shut out the loud noise of the basement,Liesel opened one of her books and began to read.The book on top of the pile was The Whistler and she spoke it aloud to help her concentrate.She could hardly hear the opening paragraph herself
"What did you say?"Mama shouted,but Liesel ignored her.She remained focused on the first page.When she turned to page two,it was Rudy who noticed.He paid direct attention to what Liesel was reading,and he tapped his brother and his sisters,telling them to do the same.A quietness started spreading through the crowded basement.By page three,everyone was silent but Liesel.

Only when the sirens（空袭解除警报）came into the basement again did someone interrupt her."We're safe,”said Mr.Jenson."Shhh!"said Frau Holtzapfel.
Liesel looked up."There are only two paragraphs till the end of the chapter,"she said,and she continued reading.Just the words.Out of respect,the adults kept everyone quiet,and Liesel finished chapter one of The Whistler.
On their way up the stairs,the children rushed by her,but many of the older people thanked the girl.They did so as they made their way past and hurried from the house to see if Himmel Street had suffered any damage.
Himmel Street was untouched.

A recent article in The Wall Street journal says that Chinese students in American universities are not making the most of their educational opportunities. The article says that 41 Chinese students work hard, many are not acquiring the soft skills that come with fully participating in campus life.

45 , tend to
self-segregate, that is, they just 46 other Chinese students and 47 the campus culture and even the wider American culture that surrounds them.

“Chinese companies want to hire ‘haigui’ like Jocelyn.” Ken Chen of a consulting firm in Shanghai says, “an American college education teaches you how to socialize, develop your _51_ intelligence and know how to think and solve problems.” Mr. Chen says these are the kinds of people he is looking for.
Of course, American education isn't 52 , though. It can cost as much as U. S. $200.000 for a four-year program. But Charlotte Fan, a graduate of Duke University from Shanghai, says the 53 was worth it. She's now working for an American company, in the Wall Street Journal article, saying, “I've learned a lot and changed a lot in college, not just to learn knowledge, but more importantly the way of thinking, creativity, communication---the soft skills you never learn from 54 but learn from day-to-day life and from interacting with all the smart kids around you in school. Those sorts of things are exactly what Chinese education should

Dear Lucy,
I quite understand that you are troubled by arguing with your parents over your studies. Actually, it is quite normal for you to lose temper since you may go through some physical and mental changes.
Why not try these pieces of advice and see if they help? First, have an honest communication with your parents, figure out their worries and share your thoughts in order to address their concerns. Second, try to calm yourself down and understand the situation from their point of view.
I sincerely hope you will find my suggestions helpful and everything will turn out better in the end
Yours truly,
Li Hua.
