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、D)中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.
Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.
21. Where can you experience local people’s life ?
A. Khao San Road. B. Phra Kanong. C. Sukhumvit. D. Yaowarat Street.
22. What can we learn from the passage?
A. One night is enough time to see Bangkok.
B. The river boat taxis often get stuck in traffic too.
C. Taking the Skytrain is a faster way to see the city than going by taxi.
D. You need to choose where to eat carefully, as not everywhere is good.
23. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A text book. B. A science report. C. A guidebook. D. A book review.
B
Within 30 minutes of finding out a little boy named Bodie needed a kidney transplant (肾移植），Taylor Pikkarainen signed up to try and be his donor(捐献者).
Bodie Hall, from St. Michael, Minnesota, was born with a rare kidney disorder. Neither of his parents could donate their kidney to him and he needed a kidney transplant badly. “It’s like, how do you ask somebody to donate a kidney?” Bodie’s mom Gloria Hall said.
Dad, Brandon Hall, wasn’t a match, and Gloria had already donated a kidney to Bodie’ s older sister who had the same condition. “This was outside of our control,” Brandon said. He was placed on a kidney transplant list, but doctors advised them to go on social media to spread the word to find a donor.
Nurse Taylor Pikkarainen, is a friend of a friend. She said, “It’s definitely part of my calling, helping people. Even just reading his story and seeing his picture on the Facebook page made me think he was the cutest thing ever.” Pikkarainen, a traveling nurse from Minnesota, was working with COVID-19 patients in New Jersey when she heard about Bodie. She filled out the paperwork right then.
Doctors say it is hard to find a well-matched donor, but physicians at M Health Fairview concluded that Pikkarainen was the best match for Bodie out of several possible kidney donors.
The transplant happened on July 9,which was Pikkarainen’s birthday as well. “There’s no way to express how grateful we are, really,” Bodie’s mom said.
“We just told her ‘Thank you’,” his dad said. “We just couldn’t believe that she was willing to do something like that for us.”
Bodie is taking anti-rejection (抗排异药）medication, which will last for the rest of his life. Fortunately, the two of them have recovered and are doing well. In fact, Bodie’s mom said he looks healthier than ever - and even took his first steps not long after the operation!
24. What happened to Bodie?
A. He injured his body seriously. B. He was too poor to get treatment.
C. He suffered from a deadly disease. D. He didn’t accept his sister’s kidney.
25. What did Pikkarainen do to help Bodie?
A. She helped him find a donor. B. She donated her kidney to him.
C. She spread his story on social media. D. She raised money for his kidney transplant.
26. What did Bodie’s parents think of Pikkarainen’s act of kindness?
A. It was out of their expectation.
B. It was a gift for Bodie’s birthday.
C. It was the most selfless act they had seen.
D. It was her special way of saying thank you.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How to Find a Donor B. The Lucky Boy is Recovering
C. Helpful Nurse Saves a Life D. The Powerful Social Media
C
Humans take first place when it comes to making long-term changes to the earth, but we aren’t the only species to make a mark with infrastructure(基础设施）．A new look at an 1868 map has shown that beaver dams (河狸坝）in Michigan have been holding strong for at least 150 years.
The map is the work of Lewis Henry Morgan, who first traveled to Michigan in the late 1850s for his railroad work and started studying the beavers in what is now the city of Ishpeming. The resulting book, 1868’s The American Beaver and His Works, had a map that included 64 beaver dams and their ponds (池塘）．It was Carol Johnston of South Dakota State University who realized the value in Morgan’s map to modern ecologists (生态学家）. She created an updated version using air photos and compared the two, discovering that about 72 percent of the dams and ponds still exist.
While not all of the dams are still in active use, the findings show the unusual engineering abilities of the North American beaver. The fact that so many structures are still standing after all this time is truly impressive; they are even older than many of humankind’s most beloved structures, including the Eiffel Tower. “The findings prove that beaver works have been changing the North American landscape for centuries,” Johnston says.
For more, check out Morgan’s work in full on the Internet Archive, which includes lovely passages like this one, “As the dam is not a necessity to the beaver, his normal living place being rather natural ponds and rivers, and holes in their banks, it is an amazing fact that he should have voluntarily worked himself, by means of dams and ponds of his own construction, from a natural to an artificial way of life.”
On that note, don’t forget that International Beaver Day is April 7. These guys deserve some serious praise.
28. Which word best describes the beaver dams according to the text?
A. Huge. B. Common. C. Simple. D. Strong.
29. What can Morgan’s map be used for?
A. Helping scientists study environmental changes.
B. Helping railroad builders avoid dangerous areas.
C. Helping Johnston remap Michigan’s rivers.
D. Helping researchers study how ponds are formed.
30. What do Johnston’s findings show?
A. Beavers are dying out. B. Beavers are born engineers.
C. Beavers are teamwork animals. D. Beavers are important to humans.
31. What does the passage mentioned in paragraph 4 show?
A. Morgan’s joy of figuring out the dams’ function.
B. Morgan’s wish to start International Beaver Day.
C. Morgan’s pride in finding beavers’ natural habitat.
D. Morgan’s surprise at beavers’ willingness to build dams.
D
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. That seems to be the case when it comes to the issue of wind turbines (涡轮机）killing birds.
According to a study conducted at a wind farm on the Norwegian archipelago of Smøla, changing the color of a single blade(叶片）on a turbine from white to black resulted in a 70-percent drop in the number of bird deaths.
In the past few years there has been a huge increase in global wind power, with more than
60 GW of new generating capacity(发电量）added worldwide in 2019. If the turbines are placed correctly, wind power is cheaper, cleaner and more sustainable(可持续的). Not to mention that a turbine farm is easier on the eye than a huge power plant.
But these farms aren’t good for everybody - especially not for local bat and bird populations. The US Fish and Wildlife Service calculated that nearly 300,000 birds were killed by wind turbines in 2015, which is a lot fewer than those that die as a result of hitting electrical power lines each year. Yet it still remains an environmental issue, even as bird deaths from turbines seem to be going down as the industry moves to larger turbine blades that move more slowly.
Studies have suggested that birds may not be skillful at noticing obstructions to their flight path, and adding different colored fan blades can increase birds’ chances of spotting a rapidly turning fan.
At the Smøla wind farm, regular checks of four particular wind turbines found the four turbines killed 18 birds that flew into the blades over six years. In 2013, on each of the turbines in the test group, a single blade was painted black. Over the next three years, only six birds were found dead due to hitting the wind turbines.
Researchers said the results are a step in the right direction toward better, more sustainable treatment of our flying friends.
32. Why have wind turbines killed birds?
A. Their blades are too large. B. They are too high in the sky.
C. They are too close to each other. D. Their colors are unnoticeable.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. What future wind turbines will look like.
B. Why wind power is more and more popular.
C. How much wind power has been produced.
D. Which way of generating electricity is cheaper.
34. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “obstructions” in paragraph 5?
A. Ways. B. Sights. C. Guides. D. Blocks.
35. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Man is learning to protect nature.
B. Birds like colorful things.
C. Birds are good at choosing flight routes.
D. Human activities lead to environmental problems.

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。
Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will eventually lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth. 36
Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. 37 In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles(障碍). Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings（好事） in disguise（伪装）, only we don’t realize that at the time.
Along our journey we will be faced with many situations. 38 How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like.
When things don’t always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations.
*We can focus on the fact that things didn’t go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or
*We can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks（挫折） and find the lessons that are to be learned.
39 Don’t hold anything back. Say what you want to say, and do what you want to do, because sometimes we don’t get a second chance to say or do what we should have the first time around.
It is often said that what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger. 40 It can have different meanings to different people. In this sense, “stronger” means looking back at the person you were and comparing it to the person you have become today. It also means looking deep into your soul and realizing that the person you are today couldn’t exist if it weren’t for the things that have happened in the past or for the people that you have met.
A. Time stops for no one.
B. It all depends on how one defines the word “strong”.
C. And some of them will be filled with joy or heartache.
D. Instead, throughout our travels, we will come across many challenges.
E. Always follow your heart, and most importantly never have any regrets.
F. Among them, the heartaches and the hardships in the end help to make us a stronger person.
G.Along the way, we may trip over obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take.
