一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
    Many actors in the world are not confident enough to refuse an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette gave him a choice. She said she'd be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing. It's difficult to imagine Juliette tearing people apart with her teeth. However, her decision doesn't seem to have done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.
    It is not so easy to be successful in the United States for other foreign stars. Aaron is a good example. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that traveled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant (移民) who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (使模式化) its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes (陈规陋习). While some reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Aaron's performance.
1. What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A. Juliette tore people apart with her teeth.
B. Juliette refused an offer from Steven Spielberg.
C. Juliette was not confident to play in Jurassic Park.
D. Juliette exactly wanted to play a dinosaur for Steven Spielberg.
2. What do we know about Aaron?
A. He is an American actor.
B. He is an immigrant from France.
C. Most of his films are French.
D. His films were made in America, but well received in France.
3. What is the meaning of the last sentence of the passage?
A. All of his films are impressive.
B. His films are quite interesting.
C. His films are popular in America.
D. Not all reviewers like his films.
B
    According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.
    The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can to get away with and often leave it to female family members.
    Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender (性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.
    In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over 50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.
    "Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother."
    "This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters."
    In the UK, the 2011 Census (人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.
    But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts (同事) who are not carers.
4. According to the finding of the research, from which of the following families will the old probably enjoyed the best care?
A. The parents with two sons.
B. The parents with one daughter.
C. The parents with two daughters.
D. The parents with one daughter and one son.
5. How did the researchers come to the conclusion?
A. By giving out some questionnaires.
B. By tracking some of the American families.
C. By doing some research on a nursing home.
D. By analyzing some of the American family networks.
6. What can we know from the passage?
A. Angelina led the study of Health and Retirement Study.
B. Angelina analyzed various data and researches to get the finding.
C. Caring responsibilities are a heavy burden to most Americans.
D. Most male families will not take on the responsibility of looking after the old.
7. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. Many care providers work longer hours than others.
B. People should give up their job to care for the elderly.
C. People shouldn't pass on caring responsibilities to others.
D. Many care providers might have potential health problems.
C
    How do you like your milk: cooked or raw? It may sound a strange question, but it’s being asked more often at kitchen tables, grocery stores and farmers’ markets across the US.
   The vast majority of milk we drink is heat-treated to kill off harmful bacteria (细菌). Raw milk, on the other hand, goes straight to bottle. Fans call it milk as nature intended: nutrient-rich and full of a good kind of bacteria. Some fans go further, calling it a super food that aids digestion (消化), benefits the immune system and treats some diseases.
   An increasing number of people agree. For health-conscious, organic-loving shoppers, raw milk is a growing food trend. They feel uneasy at the thought of heated milk sitting under supermarket lighting. But despite the enthusiasm, it’s a trend with a terrible side.
   Pasteurization (加热杀菌) is a reason—it’s highly effective at killing some harmful things that can hang around in the body of even healthy cows. Raw milk, on the other hand, relies heavily on the skill of the farmer to avoid them.
   Raw milk illnesses have increased as more people drink it. Between 2010 and 2019, raw milk and raw milk cheese caused the vast majority (96%) of all illnesses linked to dairy products. Considering far fewer people consume it, that makes unpasteurized dairy 840 times more risky than pasteurized. The recent deaths of two people who ate raw milk cheese made in New York underscored the sometimes deadly consequences. And for young children, whose underdeveloped immune systems make them more vulnerable (易受伤害的), the dangers of raw milk make it hard to recommend.
8. Why does most milk that people drink is heat-treated?
A. To add some useful bacteria.
B. To make it taste more delicious.
C. To make it safer for people to drink.
D. To make it have a better appearance.
9. Which of the following is a reason for raw milk not being accepted?
A. It’s not good for people’s health.
B. It may contain something harmful.
C. It’s often put under market lighting.
D. It comes from unhealthy cows.
10. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health.
C. Education. D. Politics.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. Benefits of Raw Milk
B. How to Tell the Quality of Milk
C. Reasons for Choosing Heated Milk
D. Raw Milk: a Super Food or Super Risk?
D
    Put five, eight, twelve or more people together in a room, and it's a game of luck as to how well they'll function as a team. The larger the group, the more difficult it becomes. It's a lot like dining out with a bunch of friends. Where to go? Italian? Vegetarian? Steakhouse? Each person has their own appetite, which can make creating a "shared-interest" extremely challenging.
    Shared-interest is the lifeblood of teams, and only the most successful companies know how to foster it. But how?
    "Project Aristotle", an experiment led by Abeer Dubey, a manager in Google's People Analytics division was conducted in 2012 to discover how to build the "perfect team." After years of analyzing data and interviews from more than 180 teams across the company, Google found that the individual personalities in a team are not so relevant.
    "We had lots of data, but there was nothing showing that a mix of specific personality types or skills or backgrounds made any difference. The 'who' part of the equation didn't seem to matter," Dubey said in an interview with The New York Times. Instead, the researchers found that there were five key characteristics of enhanced teams:
    Psychological safety: Everyone feels safe in taking risks, and that they won't be embarrassed or punished for doing so.
    Dependability: Everyone completes quality work on time.
    Structure and clarity: Everyone knows what their specific expectations are. These expectations must be challenging yet attainable.
    Meaning: Everyone has a sense of purpose in their work, for example, supporting family.
    Impact: Everyone sees that the result of their work actually contributes to the organization's overall goals.
    While Google's findings may be true to some extent, a large number of scientific studies have caused researchers outside of Google's lab to shockingly disagree. Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a professor of business psychology at Columbia University and author of the book "Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?" and psychologist Dave Winsborough are among them. They both claim that personality, in particular, heavily affects the role of an individual within a team and is indeed a significant factor in what makes a team successful.
    Researchers found that the poorest-performing teams were 100 percent "pragmatic" (讲求实效的) and had 0 percent 'relationship-building' traits. "Too often, organizations focus merely on the functional role and hope that good team performance somehow follows," Chamorro-Premuzic and Winsborough co-wrote in a Harvard Business Review article. "This is why even the most expensive professional sports teams often fail to perform according to the individual talents of each player: There is no psychological synergy (协作). A more effective approach focuses as much on people's personalities as on their skills."
12. Why does the author mention the example of "dining out"?
A. To emphasize the challenges of creating a common interest.
B. To cater for the different tastes of people from all walks of life.
C. To stress the importance of different individuals in teams.
D. To get more different people involved in building a team.
13. What might be the least deciding factor of a perfect team according to Google's lab?
A. Dependability. B. A sense of purpose.
C. Psychological safety. D. Individual personalities.
14. According to the last paragraph, why do the most expensive professional sports teams fail to perform?
A. Because they care more about the result.
B. Because they are not talented enough.
C. Because they lack relationship building.
D. Because they are vague about their roles.
15. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By making basic assumptions.
B. By giving a lot of detailed examples.
C. By analyzing causes and effects.
D. By presenting contradictory findings.
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）
  阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    If you only had one minute, or even just 20 seconds, to establish a good relationship with someone youˈve never met before, how would you do it? Here are three Aˈs that you may find helpful.
    Awareness
    Getting along with others requires an awareness of three things-the environment, time, and the person you are meeting.       (1)      . The setting (e.g., a church versus a gym) decides how you communicate and even what you should wear. Time is also important. Do you have hours, minutes, or just seconds? The less you have, the more you need to think about what you will say and how you will say it.
    While an awareness of the setting and time is important, so is our awareness of others. Our immediate assessment of others, their mood and emotional state, contributes to getting along. Approaching someone when they are stressed may not be the best thing to do.       (2)      .
    Acceptance
    Since ancient times, the wise have said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." This is especially true in foreign countries.       (3)      . Change how you do things, how you dress, how you greet, how you talk, so that you will fit in. Donˈt resist and donˈt insist that you have things your way, or that you know better. It is, once more, not about you. It is about two things-the setting and fitting in with others. Respect the beliefs, norms, customs, and practices of those you wish to engage. Mirror those around you. Itˈs the secret that wise men have used since ancient times.       (4)      .
    Approachable
         (5)      . Smiling works to a point, but you must make welcoming eye contact. Your body language should say, "I am friendly and approachable."
A．It is no different today
B．You need to respond with a smile
C．And it also applies in the other settings
D．An awareness of the environment gives you a head start
E．Instead, waiting just a half-hour can make all the difference
F．If you want to be liked or fit in, you must be both accessible and friendly
G．But we canˈt expect others to do for us what we should be doing for ourselves
16.  A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
17.  A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

The Hidden Treasure
Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children. He threw rocks at them and even shot at them with a shotgun. At least thatˈs what we had heard.
His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger sister, Leigh Ann, and I lived when we were growing up. His farm was long, narrow, and quaint. It held two treasures. One was his beautiful fruit.
There were many varieties of fruit: pears, apples, and lots more I just canˈt think of. The fruit naturally drew the children to his land. It made them into thieves. But my sister and I didnˈt dare to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors we had heard about Old Man Donovan.
One summer day, we were playing in a nearby field. It was time to head back home. My sister and I were feeling very daring that day. There was a short cut to our house that went through the Donovan farm. We thought he wouldnˈt be able to see us run across his property around the luscious fruit trees. We were almost through the farm when we heard, "Hey, girls!" in a gruff, low voice. We stopped dead in our tracks! There we were, face to face with Old Man Donovan. Our knees were shaking. We had visions of rocks pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts.
“Come here,” he said, reaching up to one of his apple trees. Still shaking, we went over to him. He held out several ripe, juicy, red apples. “Take these home,” he commanded. We took the apples with surprised hearts and ran all the way home. Of course, Leigh Ann and I ate the apples.
As time went on, we often went through Old Man Donovanˈs farm, and he kept on giving us more luscious fruit. One day, we stopped by to see him when he was on his front porch. We talked to him for hours. While he was talking, we realized that we had found the other hidden treasure: the sweet, kind heart hidden behind his gruff voice. Soon, he was one of our favorite people to talk to. Unfortunately, his family never seemed to enjoy our company. They never smiled or welcomed us in.

    When the boys and girls got on the bus early in the morning, they noticed Vingo, who sat in front of them, staring at a photo, completely in silence. At noon, the bus pulled into Howard Johnsonˈs, a service area, and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The youngsters began to wonder about him. When they came back, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
    "Want some drink?" she asked.
    Vingo smiled and thanked her and became silent again.
    Late in the afternoon, they stopped at another Howard Johnsonˈs, and this time Vingo went out. The girl insisted that he join them. He followed them to a restaurant and ordered a cup of black coffee and some cookies. When they returned, the girl sat with Vingo again After a while, slowly and painfully, he began his story and told her that he had been in prison for the past four years, and now he was going home.
    "Are you married?" asked the girl.
    "I donˈt know," he said softly.
    "You donˈt know?"
    "Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife," he said, "I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldnˈt stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, she could just forget me. Iˈd understand. I told her she didnˈt have to write to me. And she didnˈt. Not for three and a half years."
    "And youˈre going home now, not knowing?"
    "Yeah. Well, last week, I wrote to her again. We used to live in Brunswick and thereˈs a big oak (橡树) tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she didnˈt have a new man and if sheˈd take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree and Iˈd get off and come home. If she didnˈt want me, forget it-no handkerchief and Iˈd go on through."
    "Wow," the girl burst out, "Wow!"
    She told the other youngsters, and soon all of them were in it.

1. ​​​​​​​根据空前Getting along with others requires an awareness of three things-the environment, time, and the person you are meeting. （和人打交道时需要注意的三个因素：环境、时间以及打交道的人。可知接下来应该是一次对这三要素进行阐述，故选项D.An awareness of the environment gives you a head start（交往中的环境意识可以给你一个良好的开端，）符合文意，故选D。
2. 根据空前Approaching someone when they are stressed may not be the best thing to do. （在他人心情不好时接近人家可不是一个好主意。）所以E项，Instead, waiting just a half-hour can make all the difference（相反，等半个小时，情况则可能不一样。）可知与空格处是相反关系，符合语境，故选E。
3. 根据空前When in Rome, do as the Romans do. This is especially true in foreign countries.（入乡随俗对身处异国他乡的人尤其适用），所以C项，And it also applies in the other settings（这个原则也可以用到别的场合），空格处是对上文补充和说明，符合语境，故选C。
4. 根据空前Itˈs the secret that wise men have used since ancient times. （自古以来，明智的人都会这样做），A项，It is no different today（如今也不例外），与前句是对比关系，符合语境。故选A。
5. 根据小标题   Approachable和空项所处位置，可知F项，If you want to be liked or fit in, you must be both accessible and friendly（如果你想被人喜欢或者融入环境，你就得显得平易近人）与小标题是总分关系，符合文意，故选F。

42.【答案】Paragraph 1：
    Every summer, we would visit Mr. Donovan and talk to him. We shared with him our colorful experience at school while he kept giving out his luscious fruits to us as usual. As time went by, we seemed to be more a family than good friends and his family gradually came to greet us with a warm smile. But one summer, we were informed that he was seriously ill and we were anxious and restless, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. The next day, we rushed straight to the hospital to see his health condition. Weak as he was, he comforted us that it wasn’t a big deal. It was from his family that we knew the truth. Old Man Donovan had fell from a tree while looking after the fruits and his head was seriously hurt and need an operation. The operation might not succeed and it was a gamble whether he would live or die.
Paragraph 2：
    The next winter, word got around that Old Man Donovan had died. Hearing the bad news, my sister and I just couldn’t believe it until we went back home and saw his smiling face on the wall. I felt a lump in my throat, tears welling up in my eyes. The family approached and welcomed us. “I’ m sorry for your loss.” I gave them a big hug. On my way back home, the wind whistled through the trees, as if mourning for the death of Donovan. I realized gone were the days when we sat together chatting with each other. I realized gone were the days when we were lucky enough to have a taste of the luscious fruit grown by him. However, he left us a hidden treasure-- his kind heart, which shall never die away with the passage of time.

43.【答案】      Vingo handed the photo to the youngsters. Studying the phoato, they saw a beautiful young woman in the middle, hugging the lovely kids and a smiling Vingo. With Brunswick approaching, they returned the photo to Vingn. He put it in his pocket and buried his face in his hands as if to protect himself against another dinappointment. The youngsters took over window seats and stared out of the window, eagerly looking for the coming of the oak tree. Suddenly, they jumped up from their seats and screamed.

    Vingo sat there, staring at the oak tree as a statue. The tree was covered with yellow handkerchiels, twenty or thirty of them, maybe hundreds, waving in the wind. The oak tree stood like a banner of welcome in the wind. Very slowly, Vingo rose from his seat, trying his best to hold himself steady. He made his way to the front door of the bus and forgot to say goodbye to the yourgsters.
