第二部分 阅读理解（共15小题；第31 — 40题，每小题2. 5分，第41 — 45题，每小题2分；满分35分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
A
We see a woman swimming at night in a dark sea. Suddenly, she is pulled underwater. She surfaces, cries in fear, then disappears forever. This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws, showing a shark attack. It tells the story of a great white shark that attacks and kills swimmers. Jaws was a great success, attracting huge audiences and winning many awards. It strengthened people's long - held idea of the great white shark as a dangerous animal.
People have always been scared of sharks, bur Jaws made things worse. It made people frightened of sharks, especially of the great white shark. Many people who saw the film started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans. Some people stopped swimming in the sea, afraid of the horrible creature from the film. Other people started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. At that time, nobody cared if sharks were killed, or how many were killed. People just wanted them killed.
After 1975, the number of large sharks around America fell quickly, and soon fell around the world. This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also finning. Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off. The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully. The fins are used in shark fin soup. Finning kills millions of sharks a year.
Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on. In 1980, Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight. It was an area where fishermen were finning, and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks. Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him. He came to see people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. From that day on, he fought to protect sharks. He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks' behavior. “Sharks don't target humans,” he said. Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food, and they attack us by mistake. Only around six people are killed by sharks every year.
Fortunately, not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks - some became interested in understanding them. Today, as we learn more about sharks. more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.
36. Which of the following is true of the 1975 film Jaws?
A. A woman swam gracefully along with a shark in the opening scene
B. The film challenged people's long - held belief of the great white shark
C. Many awards were given to the film due to the frightening killing scenes
D. The shark was described as a cruel and dangerous animal to swimmers
37. What did people begin to do after they saw the film?

B. Some were eager to fish sharks for their delicious meat
C. Some killed as many sharks as possible for no reason
D. Some called on others to protect the endangered sharks
38. What happens to a shark when it is finned?
A. It will be served onto the table as soups
B. It will suffer a lot and die slowly in the sea
C. Its fins will grow again after some time
D. Its fins will be thrown away into the ocean
39. What caused a deep change to Peter Benchley?
A. Seeing the finning scene and many dead sharks
B. Joining the fishermen who were killing and finning
C. Writing the book the film Jaws was based on
D. Knowing that sharks do not target and eat humans
40. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To inform people about sharks and recommend the film and the book to them
B. To describe the cruel finning scene and prove that sharks are dangerous animals
C. To explain people's misunderstanding of sharks and raise awareness of shark protection
D. To criticize Peter Benchley's misleading description of sharks in his book and advocate the protection of sharks
B
Picking up free newspaper at the Tube station, I see the title “Hot! Hot! Hot!”. Today, the temperature in London is expected to reach 30 plus degrees. The average high temperature in July is only 22 degrees, so over 30 is not usual for London. It's going to be awful on the central line with no air conditioning. Why did they have to invent the Tube before air conditioning? It's just typical that my journey is on one of the oldest lines, as well as one of the deepest. It's the hottest on the whole tube system.
Sure enough, going down the stairs and onto the platform is like jumping into a volcano that's erupting. This, however, is nothing compared to the train. Because there's no air conditioning, the temperature inside the train can reach 35 degrees! It's lovely at the beach, but not so when you are wearing a suit and in a crowd of passengers. I'm sure the passenger next to me and I are melting and becoming one. I had bacon and eggs for breakfast and now I'm feeling a bit sick — I hope I can make it to bank station. . I will avoid the feeling by thinking about work. I work in a tall, glass building. One very hot summer, the sun reflected off it and melted cars park below. Will this happen again today?
Yes, each summer in London definitely seems hotter than the last. I suddenly feel a bit scared. Perhaps now is the time to start planning for the future. I should probably put my flat on the market and buy a boat. That way, when the Thames rises and there is a flood in London, I'll still be able to get to work. But wait! Would I still have a workplace to go? My office is only on the third floor of the building, so quite low. I'll speak with my manager about moving to the top floor. Most importantly, I will need to learn to swim! I would join a beginner swimming class immediately. Then I'll be able to survive even when the tall buildings are flooded.
Looking through my newspaper, I'm shocked by photos showing that a hurricane in Asia has destroyed a town. What's more, heavy rain in Eastern Europe has caused landslides, and the heat across the Southern Europe has caused forest fires. Experts say this bad weather has occurred due to climate change. News like this makes me feel nervous. Now that it's hard to avoid disaster on Earth, perhaps I should start thinking about moving to space. . .
“The next station is bank!” comes the announcement. That's my destination. stepping out of the station with a heavy heart, I suddenly feel a fresh wind on my face. Well, maybe I have been worrying too much. After all, it's only 30 degrees outside!
41. What is true about the Central Line in Paragraph 1?
A. The Central Line is one of the oldest Tube lines in London
B. The temperature in the Central Line is between 22 to 30 degrees
C. The air conditioning of the Central Line makes passengers feel awful
D. The Central Line is the hottest because it is the deepest line of the tube system
42. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 2?
A. The author tried to endure the sick feeling on his / her own
B. The author wanted to taste bacon and eggs at the bank station
C. The author was thinking about saving his / her money in the bank:
D. The author was worried about the hot environment at the station
43. Which of the following is a plan for the “coming” flood in London?
A. The author will buy a flat which is far away from the Thames
B. The author will try to persuade the manager to move to the top floor
C. Tie author will improve his / her swimming skills to join a competition
D. The author will buy a boat from which he / she can jump into the water
44. What do the hurricane, heavy rain and the heat mentioned in Paragraph 4 show?
A. The climate in different regions on Earth varies greatly
B. The natural disasters can be avoided by moving to space
C. Bad weathers happen more frequently due to climate change
D. The author is reading the weather forecast section carefully
45. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To complain about the London Tube
B. To warn people about the danger of London being flooded
C. To explain why summers in London are getting hotter and hotter
D. To express his worries about the dangers of extreme weather conditions
C
Pre - school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, “new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche (心理), the research finds that personality traits (特征) are “contagious” (传染的) among children. “Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed,” said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co - author of the study.
The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre - school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three - year - olds, and the other a set of four - year - olds. Children whose friends were hard - working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.
The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person “like a disease,”. The study. found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee. was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.
The researchers questioned 6, 000 people on the social “climate” in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year. And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise.
Dr. Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem.
46. What docs the underlined part “flies in the face of” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Leads to B. Goes against C. Results from D. Agrees with
47. According to Paragraph 2, who have the greatest impact on children's personality?
A. Their friends B. Their parents C. The researchers D. The psychologists
48. Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace?
A. Ignoring the faults of co - workers
B. Not sending emails to workmates
C. Seeking praise from colleagues and bosses
D. Not inviting a colleague to a company party
49. What is the passage mainly about?
A. One's personality is hard to change
B. One's personality is shaped by genes
C. One's personality traits can spread to others
D. One's personality traits 'can change overnight
50. This passage is most probably taken from ________ .
A. a school textbook B. a study guide C. a science report D. a technical journal

Dear fellow students,
Since the outbreak of the COVID - 19 epidemic, there has been a growing need of disposable plastics products like masks, medical articles, tableware and so on. However, it is a potential danger for us that more and more used plastics are thrown everywhere, which attracts global attention.
As we all know, the plastic waste is a danger to both people and animals of our planet. It takes hundreds of years for a single plastic mask to break down, and wild animals are likely to mistake them for food. In addition, the rapid growth of plastic using in our daily life has a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, it is an urgent task for the world to take practical measures to solve this serious problem.
With such an aim, our government is encouraging people not to use disposable plastic products, which cannot be recycled. Not only will people pay for eco - friendly plastic bags when shopping, but they are expected to bring their own reusable bags for shopping. As a senior high student, it is our duty to make contributions to our environment. Never throw rubbish here and there, and make correct waste sorting. Besides, being a volunteer of environmental protection in your neighborhood is also a good attempt.
In a word, come on and let more people join us. Your little efforts will make a big difference.

This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws, showing a shark attack. It tells the story of a great white shark that attacks and kills swimmers. Jaws was a great success, attracting huge audiences and winning many awards. It strengthened people's long - held idea of the great white shark as a dangerous animal.
People have always been scared of sharks, bur Jaws made things worse. It made people frightened of sharks, especially of the great white shark. Many people who saw the film started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans. Some people stopped swimming in the sea, afraid of the horrible creature from the film. Other people started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. At that time, nobody cared if sharks were killed, or how many were killed. People just wanted them killed.
After 1975, the number of large sharks around America fell quickly, and soon fell around the world. This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also finning. Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off. The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully. The fins are used in shark fin soup. Finning kills millions of sharks a year.
Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on. In 1980, Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight. It was an area where fishermen were finning, and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks. Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him. He came to see people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. From that day on, he fought to protect sharks. He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks' behavior. “Sharks don't target humans,” he said. Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food, and they attack us by mistake. Only around six people are killed by sharks every year.
Fortunately, not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks - some became interested in understanding them. Today, as we learn more about sharks. more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.

Picking up free newspaper at the Tube station, I see the title “Hot! Hot! Hot!”. Today, the temperature in London is expected to reach 30 plus degrees. The average high temperature in July is only 22 degrees, so over 30 is not usual for London. It's going to be awful on the central line with no air conditioning. Why did they have to invent the Tube before air conditioning? It's just typical that my journey is on one of the oldest lines, as well as one of the deepest. It's the hottest on the whole tube system.
Sure enough, going down the stairs and onto the platform is like jumping into a volcano that's erupting. This, however, is nothing compared to the train. Because there's no air conditioning, the temperature inside the train can reach 35 degrees! It's lovely at the beach, but not so when you are wearing a suit and in a crowd of passengers. I'm sure the passenger next to me and I are melting and becoming one. I had bacon and eggs for breakfast and now I'm feeling a bit sick — I hope I can make it to bank station. . I will avoid the feeling by thinking about work. I work in a tall, glass building. One very hot summer, the sun reflected off it and melted cars park below. Will this happen again today?
Yes, each summer in London definitely seems hotter than the last. I suddenly feel a bit scared. Perhaps now is the time to start planning for the future. I should probably put my flat on the market and buy a boat. That way, when the Thames rises and there is a flood in London, I'll still be able to get to work. But wait! Would I still have a workplace to go? My office is only on the third floor of the building, so quite low. I'll speak with my manager about moving to the top floor. Most importantly, I will need to learn to swim! I would join a beginner swimming class immediately. Then I'll be able to survive even when the tall buildings are flooded.
Looking through my newspaper, I'm shocked by photos showing that a hurricane in Asia has destroyed a town. What's more, heavy rain in Eastern Europe has caused landslides, and the heat across the Southern Europe has caused forest fires. Experts say this bad weather has occurred due to climate change. News like this makes me feel nervous. Now that it's hard to avoid disaster on Earth, perhaps I should start thinking about moving to space. . .
“The next station is bank!” comes the announcement. That's my destination. stepping out of the station with a heavy heart, I suddenly feel a fresh wind on my face. Well, maybe I have been worrying too much. After all, it's only 30 degrees outside!
41. What is true about the Central Line in Paragraph 1?

Pre - school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, “new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche (心理), the research finds that personality traits (特征) are “contagious” (传染的) among children. “Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed,” said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co - author of the study.
The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre - school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three - year - olds, and the other a set of four - year - olds. Children whose friends were hard - working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.
The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person “like a disease,”. The study. found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee. was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.
The researchers questioned 6, 000 people on the social “climate” in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year. And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise.
Dr. Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem.
46. What docs the underlined part “flies in the face of” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Leads to B. Goes against C. Results from D. Agrees with
47. According to Paragraph 2, who have the greatest impact on children's personality?
A. Their friends B. Their parents C. The researchers D. The psychologists
48. Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace?
A. Ignoring the faults of co - workers
B. Not sending emails to workmates
C. Seeking praise from colleagues and bosses
D. Not inviting a colleague to a company party
49. What is the passage mainly about?
A. One's personality is hard to change
B. One's personality is shaped by genes
C. One's personality traits can spread to others
D. One's personality traits 'can change overnight
50. This passage is most probably taken from ________ .
A. a school textbook B. a study guide C. a science report D. a technical journal

Dear fellow students,
Since the outbreak of the COVID - 19 epidemic, there has been a growing need of disposable plastics products like masks, medical articles, tableware and so on. However, it is a potential danger for us that more and more used plastics are thrown everywhere, which attracts global attention.
As we all know, the plastic waste is a danger to both people and animals of our planet. It takes hundreds of years for a single plastic mask to break down, and wild animals are likely to mistake them for food. In addition, the rapid growth of plastic using in our daily life has a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, it is an urgent task for the world to take practical measures to solve this serious problem.
With such an aim, our government is encouraging people not to use disposable plastic products, which cannot be recycled. Not only will people pay for eco - friendly plastic bags when shopping, but they are expected to bring their own reusable bags for shopping. As a senior high student, it is our duty to make contributions to our environment. Never throw rubbish here and there, and make correct waste sorting. Besides, being a volunteer of environmental protection in your neighborhood is also a good attempt.
In a word, come on and let more people join us. Your little efforts will make a big difference.
