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和D)中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．
A
Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Liangshan shares its north border with Ganzi Prefecture, Ya’an City, and Leshan City and the west border with Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. The profound natural and cultural landscapes of Daliang Mountains add to the unique charm of Sichuan Province who also has rich tourism resources.
Xichang
As the autonomous prefecture center of Liangshan, Xichang is the top destination for many travelers for the agreeable altitudes, temperature, and sunlight. The moon watched in Xichang is bright and round since it has good transparency with little suspended material in the atmosphere, bringing the reputation of the “City of Moon”. Meanwhile, Xichang is also called the “Little City of Spring” since its climate is not inferior to Kunming, which is like spring all the year round with colorful flowers blooming forever.
Shaped as a snail, Qionghai Lake is the second freshwater lake in Sichuan Province.
Huili
Huili Ancient City is located in the southernmost part of Sichuan Province, by the north bank of the Jinsha River, hidden in the mountains separated with Yunnan Province only by a river.
The features of the recipes of Yi are meat-based, and the spicy taste takes the essential position. Yi people are good singers and dancers with an enthusiastic and generous temper. They like taking big bites of meat and drinking like fish. You shouldn’t miss Tuotuo Meat and baked potatoes.
Muli
As the hidden and remote space of Liangshan, Muli has few visitors but perfect landscapes. It is a mountainous and forested region surrounded with rivers. With big relative height difference, the weathers, soils, and vegetation are of apparent vertical change. Moreover, the Cundong Lake, Kangwu Temple, and Muli Temple are also unmissable.
21. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Kunming’s climate is even better than Xichang
B. Qionghai Lake is the second freshwater lake in China
C. Muli has few perfect landscapes and few visitors go there
D. Yi people are good at singing and dancing
22. Which of the following shares its border with Yunnan Province according to the passage?
A. Ganzi Prefecture B. Xichang C. Huili D. Muli
23. You can read this passage from_____________
A. a news website B. a report C. a geography textbook D. a brochure
B
Suppose your permanent residence, or hukou, was in Chongqing, you worked in Beijing and you needed to get a passport for a business trip abroad. What should you do?
You have to go back to Chongqing, which is 1,500km away, and apply to local public security authorities for the passport, because in China public services are closely linked to hukou. But a new regulation, which is part of the hukou reform, will make this annoying experience a thing of the past.
The regulation targets China’s newly introduced residence permit system, which will take effect on Jan 1, 2016. It allows people who don’t have local hukou to receive more access to basic public services in the cities where they are living. These include education, basic employment services, automobile registration, and passport and ID card application processing.
You can apply for a residence permit at the local police station, which has jurisdiction (管辖权) over the area where you live. The documents needed for the permit application include your ID card, photos and materials that prove that you have a job, a place to live, or that you are studying at an education institution.
To certify that you have a place to live, a house rental contract or property ownership certificate will do. For employment, a business license, job contract, or employment certificate can do the trick. If you are a student applying for the permit, show your student card or other documentation issued by your school.
Despite all this, maybe you are still not happy about not having a local hukou. Don’t worry. People will have a chance, as the country is reforming the hukou system further.
24. What is the purpose of the first 2 paragraphs?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To emphasize the focus of the passage.
C. To summarize the main idea of the passage. D. To arouse the readers’ interest of reading
25. People who want to apply for a residence permit should ________.
A. receive more access to basic public services
B. provide proofs of identification
C. present a house rental contract
D. show your student card or other documentation
26. What does the underlined word “certify” in para 5 mean?
A. apply B. prove C. permit D. test
27. What will the writer tell us in the following paragraph?
A. China plans to create a new hukou system
B. Getting a hukou may be easier with new policies
C. Other reforms that will bring people more happiness
D. People will not need hukou in China soon.
C
Living with your parents comes with its perks – meals ready, laundry done, pills and hot water at your bedside when you’re feeling unwell. But your parents can still drive you crazy – talking about your habits without a stop and trying to get involved in your relationships.
This partly explains why the idea of “living alone” is spreading rapidly across the world with more young adults preferring to go solo.
According to statistics gathered by the market research firm Euro-monitor International, the number of people living alone globally has almost doubled in the last decade and a half.
This rush to solitude (独居) is not only limited to the US and Europe, where social security is well developed. In fact, over recent years, it has grown most quickly in countries with booming economies, like China for example.
Census (人口普查) data released by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China in May showed that today over 58 million Chinese people live alone. That’s a number bigger than that of US, UK and France combined”, the Economist reported.
In the past, adulthood in China used to mean getting married and having children. Not following this route was seen as a taboo (禁忌). This is still the mainstream standard, but things are starting to change. Living alone is shifting from being a transitional stage after graduation and before marriage to a long-time state for many.
The marriage age in China is rising, especially in urban areas. In Beijing, the average age of men getting married is 27.8, while that of women is 26.2, according to iFeng News.
Better employment opportunities allow women to have greater equality with men. That might make women more inclined to stay single and free from the burden of starting a new family.
28. What does the underlined word “perks” in para 1 mean?
A. advantages B. disadvantages C. preference D. tradition
29. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. the number of people living alone has almost doubled in China
B. people are more likely to live alone in developed countries
C. many Chinese think it unacceptable for young people to live alone
D. the average age of men getting married is 27.8 while that of women is 26.2
30. Many women tend to live alone because____________.
A. they want to be independent of their parents
B. the marriage age in China is rising.
C. they have the same chance to earn their living as men
D. they dislike their parents being involved in their relationships
31. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. China’s youth break free B. Living with your parents or living alone
C. A new life style D. China’s new youth
D
We all know the hard work that filmmakers and actors put in to provide us with entertainment, but it seems that even regular moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too.
For decades, film studios have used so-called test screenings to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out. While test audience members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the film studio what they liked and didn’t like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.
According to a paper published this summer by the company’s researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences’ reactions by using special cameras placed inside cinemas. Pairing the cameras with special software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to joy.
It’s hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movie’s over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.
Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well-known movies have been greatly altered following feedback. Viewers of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it weren’t for its test audience’s feedback. “In one cut of the film that was tested, E.T. died instead of going home in his spaceship,” wrote media website Den of Geek.
But for those who are concerned about privacy, the cameras won’t be installed in public cinemas. After all, unless you’re part of a test audience, being in front of the camera is best left to the movie stars.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Even regular moviegoers put in hard work to provide us with entertainment.
B. Film studios have used a more high-tech solution to get feedback from the audience.
C. It is not convenient for Disney to test audiences’ feelings in public cinemas by using special cameras.
D. Film studios wouldn’t like to test audiences’ reactions in public cinemas.
33. What does the underlined word “altered” in para 5 mean?
A. developed B. changed C. made D. provided
34. The cameras will not be installed in public cinemas because ________.
A. being in front of the camera is left to movie stars.
B. film studios have got feedback from test audiences before a movie comes out.
C. film studios are concerned about audiences’ privacy.
D. many audience members are afraid of them being monitored.
35. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. Important reactions B. Can cameras be installed in cinemas?
C. A high-tech solution D. How to make a successful movie?

One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Heart
Many diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the risk factors that increase your chances of dying.
36 But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!
Anand Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, Missouri, advises his patients to smile. He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. 37 Several studies support Dr. Chockaligam’s prescription to smile more.
When we talk about disorders of the heart and blood vessels, we are talking about cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease. And they are the number one cause of death around the world. 38
When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones including adrenaline and cortisol. 39 However, when stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.
Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. 40
"Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health."
And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone's heart health. 
A. It is free and it has no bad side effects.
B. This is not just New Age advice.
C. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you.
D. That information comes from the World Health Organization.
E. Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke.
F. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure and cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone.
G. Doctors usually urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake.

What does "going to the movies" mean for most of us？Maybe it just means sitting in the dark cinema, waiting for the screen to light up, and then 41 ourselves in the fictional world.
Considering the needs of a hearing-impaired(听力受损的) audience, many films are attached with 42 . But what about the blind people? Are they totally 43 from the world of "visual art"?
Yu Weili says "no." As a "film 44 " in Xinmu Cinema in Beijing, his job is 45 films for blind audiences. Every 46 , a lot of blind people would come here for his narration.
Yu Weili's first narration was back in 2004 when he had only one audience. He still remembers that it was a film with huge explosions. "He said he was able to 47 the sound with mental images.

Thanks to Yu Weili, there are more and more film narrators in Xinmu Cinema. People from all 57 of life become volunteers in here. Now, film narrating has been 58 to hundreds of blind schools in over a dozen cities. With the help of their voices, more and more blind children are now able to reach a colorful world.

Does the university you attend or the major you choose determine your success in the future?
According to a recent survey 61 (do) by China Youth Daily, 48.6 percent of participants believe that the university one goes to 62 (play) an important role in 63 (shape)their future. On the other hand, 33.8 percent of people hold the view that it’s what you do in the university 64 matters.
For Fu Chenxi, an economics major at University of Alberta, Canada, a prestigious university does bring many unseen 65 (benefit). “Without access 66 academic training, lectures and experiences of different clubs in college, I wouldn’t have got my first internship successfully in a leading commercial bank,” he said.
67 , Chen Yufei, 20, who studies Japanese at Tianjin University of Science and Technology, believes that choosing the right major has much more 68 (weigh) than choosing a good university.
Both the university and one’s major are important, but they don’t 69 (necessary) determine your life, according to Chu Zhaohui, 70 researcher of the National Institute of Education Sciences. It’s what one has learned and cultivated that’s most important.

With the development of economy and urbanization, a number of big cities is constantly increasing in China. While big cities are attracted more and more people, they also bring many challenges.
The first problem which really bothers me is the traffic congestion during rush hours. I hated waiting for buses and being late for work. The next problem is that the large population in big cities makes them crowded that we can hardly find a peaceful place unless staying at home. Supermarkets are always crowded; so are cinema and parks. Other consequence of the large population is that it causes the inadequacy of high-quality medical and educational resources, thus decrease residents' sense of happiness.
However, when I am asked for whether I like to live in a big city or not, my answer is always: "no, definitely not." What about you?

第二节 书面表达
One possible version:
Nowadays, more and more people realize it’s necessary to protect the environment. However, a great many people can’t stop littering the rubbish casually or spitting everywhere all the time. What’s worse, a few factories often cut down the trees or discharge harmful chemicals and dirty water, which causes many problems like the Greenhouse Effect.
To protect the environment, the government has taken much more effective measures. First, people should fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. In addition, whoever destroys the environment should be severely punished because destroying the environment means destroying ourselves.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s everyone’s duty to protect the environment. Only by changing the way we treat the earth can we live in harmony with it.

【部分答案详解】
21. 答案D。根据Huili部分第二段2句可知；Xichang第一段末句说西昌气候不次于昆明，四季如春，但并没有明确说昆明气候比西昌更好，故A项在本文中找不到明确证据；B项，去掉了四川范围，就不一定是第二大了；C项是对最后一段1句错误理解，原文说木里虽游客稀少，但是风景殊胜。
22. 答案C。根据Huili第一段1句可知会理位于四川最南部，与云南以金沙江为界而毗邻。根据全文第一段第一句可知甘孜州位于凉山州北边，可排除A；B项明显没有与云南接壤的信息；D项强干扰项，虽然实际地理确实与云南接壤，但是本文没有提及，所以不能选。
23. 答案D。根据全文，明显可判断这是一份介绍凉山旅游的宣传手册。
24. 答案A。 前两段用举例子来引出本文话题。
25. 答案B。A项是得到a residence permit后的福利。C，D都属于B项“身份证明材料”
26. 答案B。4段末句有类似说法。
27. 答案B。根据最后一段可知。
28. 答案A。1段But 前后转折，并且举例说明。所以perks是与drive you crazy 相反的“好处”。
29. 答案C。根据6段前两句可知。A项应为全球范围。D项应为北京范围内。
30. 答案C。最后一段给出了原因。B项是结果。A, D，以前独居女性少的时候也会那么想。
31. 答案A。本文中心是中国年轻人喜欢独居自由的比例增大。C和D范围大了。B项是让读者选择，而本文重心就是living alone.
32. 答案C。根据6段可知，一些观众担心自己隐私问题，所以电影制作方不方便在公共影院安装这种能监控观众观影感受的摄像头。并不是他们不想（D）。A项信息来源于第一段，但是偷换了主语。根据2段末句可知是迪斯尼公司开始采用一项新科技解决试映反馈问题，并没有说很多家电影公司都已经采用了，所以B项错误。
33. 答案B。根据5段后面举例可知，由于试映观众不喜欢ET最初结局，所以电影制作方最后修改了结局。
34. 答案D。根据6段一句可知，根本原因是一些观众担心自己隐私问题。A项不是根本原因；C项是强干扰，但根据末段，可知是观众担心自己隐私被侵犯而反对在公众电影院里安装这种探查人面部表情的摄像头，不是说电影公司主动担心别人隐私问题，如果观众不强烈反对的话，电影公司巴不得用这种新科技来实时采集更多观众的观影反馈呢。
35. 答案A。本文主要讲的是电影试映观众的反应对电影最终结局的影响很大，过去用观影后问卷调查，现在有了实时扑捉试映观众表情的摄像头。B，D都是文章细节。C太笼统，而且问卷调查和新科技表情捕捉各占一半篇幅。

M: What’s on the menu today?(11)B
W: Fish, beef, pork, chicken and vegetables. We also have rice, bread and noodles.
M: Oh, we’re really lucky today, aren’t we?
W: I’ll take the cabbage with beef.
M: I think I’ll take the fried fish, because fish is one of my favorites.(12)C
W: That’s good. We can share what we have. Here we are. You go ahead.
M: Here is a free table. Let’s sit down. Help yourself to some fish please. Isn’t it delicious?
W: I’m sorry. I don’t like it. It’s a little too salty.
M: I see you Southerners prefer sweet, don’t you?
W: Yes, I like the fish cooked in sweet and sour sauce best(13)B. Try some beef, please.
M: Thank you. I want to get some more bread as well.
W: Your appetite sure is good.

W: Where have you been, Justin?
M: I was playing with Stanley. We built a treehouse in that big tree in Miss Johnson’s yard.(14)A
W: That sounds dangerous. Couldn’t you build one in our yard? Or even across the street?
M: No, those trees are too small. We built it in five days. It looks really good.
W: Can I see it?
M: Sorry, Mom. No girls allowed.
W: OK, then, Justin. But where are your boots?
M: I think I left them in the treehouse(15)A. Can I get them tomorrow?
W: It’s going to rain tonight. Just how great is the roof on your treehouse?
M: Umm, we didn’t finish the roof yet. Do you think you could go to get the boots out of there for me? I left my bike at Stanley’s house.
W: Sorry, Justin. I hear there are no girls allowed in this treehouse. But I’ll be happy to drive you down the street and you can get them.(16)B
M: Oh, thanks, Mom. I can’t wait to walk in the rain in my boots!
W: I knew you’d like it.
M: Yeah, Mom. Are you ready to go now? I think I heard some thunder.

Attention, everyone! Please pause your conversations for an announcement about what to do during bad weather(19)B! Safety is our first concern, especially in winter. Recently, it’s supposed to get very cold — about -10℃ tonight, and -15℃ tomorrow morning. What’s worse, it will be even farther down to -20℃ by tomorrow evening(17)B. Please make sure you come to school with enough clothes to keep you warm(18)A, and you should also have a pair of boots you can change into. Highland Public School District officials will consider travel conditions before making a decision about whether to cancel school. If school is closed because of winter weather or another reason, an announcement will be made by 6:00 a.m. on that day by local radio stations and television stations. We may need to inform your parents by phone as well, so if your parents’ phone numbers have changed, please tell the school. Let’s make sure we all have a happy and safe winter! Thank you for your attention. (20)C综合推断
