第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)

第一节(共10小题；每小题2. 5分，满分25分)

阅读下列短文，从题中所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出锻佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项涂黑。

A

The Chinese version of the French book, Pourquoi les Chinois ont-ils le temps (Why Chinese People have Time), has been recently published by SDX Joint Publication Co. The author, Christine Cayol, who has lived in China for more than 20 years, shares her observations in her writing on Chinese wisdom towards "time".

In the western world, the concept of time is often measurable, which can date from the Industrial Revolution. This view of time always reminds people of progress, improvement and efficiency.

Unlike the western "race mode", the Chinese view of time is more like a "flowing water mode". In Cayol's eyes, Chinese people can become friends with time. "For the Chinese, time is neither a flying arrow at the target nor an hourglass measuring quicksand, but running water," she said. "Water can devour us, but it carries us and holds us as well; it seems weak, but is strong actually, and nothing can stop it from flowing into the sea."

Cayol used to be uncomfortable with the way Chinese dealt with time when she first came to China: They never make appointments, and always change the time for a meeting. However, as she became more familiar with Chinese culture, Chinese wisdom has been gradually understood by her.

Life in China led Cayol to experience a different view of time, which invites people to listen to their heart, to think and to love. Time in China seems to be internal, beneficial and cherished. It is life itself: It can be solid and liquid, fast and slow, hard and soft at the same time.

Now, Cayol likes spending five hours with friends making dumplings or noodles. She believes it's a way to get along with each other, and no one will measure the time it takes. "I'm not introducing a method; I just want to reveal a new view of time, which is completely different from that in the West. Adopting it will be just like using a foreign language - it gives us greater freedom in the modern world," Cayol said. She hopes that Pourquoi les Chinois ont-ils le temps can be a cure for Westerners' worried hearts.

1. The western view of time can have the following features EXCEPT ________.

A. the mode of race B. the flowing water mode

C. the focus on efficiency D. the focus on progress

2. The underlined word "devour" in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A. help B. shelter C. track D. destroy

3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. The Chinese tend to feel worried about time.

B. Cayol studied people's different attitudes towards time in China.

C. On arriving in China, Cayol admired the way Chinese dealt with time.

D. How the Chinese treat time is closely related to the Chinese culture and wisdom.

4. What type of writing is the passage?

A. A travel journal. B. An introduction to a book.

C. A summary of a book. D. An advertisement for a book.

B

Too many deaths and injuries occur while mobile phones are being held. Tougher new laws will come into force in a further severe action on using a mobile phone behind the wheel from next year.

It is already illegal to text or make a phone call, other than in an emergency, using a hand-held device while driving. From 2022, laws will go further to ban drivers from using their phones to take photos or videos, or play games. This will mean anyone caught using their hand-held device while driving will face a fixed penalty notice and six points on their license. Drivers will still be able to continue using a device “hands-free” while driving, if it’s secured in a cradle (支架).

The government will also revise The Highway Code to explain the new measures. It will also be more precise about some facts, making it clear that hand-held mobile phone use at traffic lights or in motorway jams is illegal except in very limited circumstances.

There will be an exemption (豁免) to the new law for drivers making a contactless payment using their mobile phone. This will cover, for example, places like a drive-through restaurant or a road toll, and will only apply when payment is being made with a card reader. Anyway, it will not allow drivers to make general online payments while driving.

Mary Williams, chief executive of Brake — the road safety charity, said, “If drivers take their attention away from driving, this can be deadly. Using a hand-held phone at the wheel is never worth the risk. This important road safety decision by government, along with Road Safety Week, is very welcomed. The theme for Road Safety Week is road safety heroes — we can all be road safety heroes by giving driving our full attention.”

5. The purpose of the passage is mainly to ________.

A. present some new findings about using a mobile phone behind the wheel

B. describe the relationship between road safety and driving with full attention

C. report new problems caused by drivers who use mobile phones while driving

D. introduce new laws that will go further to ban drivers from using mobile phones

6. Which of the following statements is true according to the new law?

A. Hand-held mobile phone use at traffic lights is always illegal.

B. Those using their hand-held devices while driving will be fined.

C. Younger drivers are more likely to use hand-held devices at the wheel.

D. Using phones to take photos or videos while driving will not be allowed.

7. What is Mary Williams’s attitude towards the government’s new road safety decision?

A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Uninterested. D. Objective.

C

When learning a foreign language, most people use traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But people can also remember the vocabulary better by making gestures while studying. Linking a word to brain areas that are responsible for movement can strengthen the memory of its meaning. "Our results provide evidence for why learning techniques”, Mathias said.

As Mathias and his colleagues described, they had 22 adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words over four days. While these adults first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, they performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned in a multiple-choice test. The researchers found that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. This applied to concrete words, such as "camera," as well as abstract ones, such as "thought."

“There have been quite a lot of studies showing that gestures play a role in learning. I think this study takes a step further as it is trying to understand why," says Susan Goldin-Meadow, a psychologist at the University of Chicago who studies the effects of gestures on learning. Research like this, as well as brain imaging, suggests the activation of the brain's motor areas could contribute.

Children — unlike adults — seem to benefit from pictures as much as gestures in the long run. In an experiment published in 2020, the Leipzig research group had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, sometimes paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still tied. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.

8. What is the focus of Mathias and his colleagues' new study?

A. Functions of motor cortex. B. Techniques of remembering vocabulary.

C. Reasons for the gestures' influence on learning. D. Methods of learning a foreign language.

9. In the last paragraph, an experiment is mentioned to show           .

A. pictures were used in the Leipzig research

B. pictures are as helpful as gestures to adults

C. pictures and gestures may be both helpful to children

D. pictures should be used more often than gestures in learning

10. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A. How Children Learn New Words B. How Brain Works More Effectively

C. How People Learn Foreign Languages D. How Gestures Help You Learn New Words

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The Price of a Dream

I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters - a group of foster kids, my father and my wonderful mother. My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. It's true that we had little money and few goods, but we got plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.

My dream was athletics. I fell in love with baseball at an early age, a love so deep that I almost gave it my all. I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream. By the time I was sixteen, I had made great progress: I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident (事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever.

It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket - certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother, which was what I had always dreamed of. The prospect (前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance. Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule. I was afraid of telling my coach, who would certainly be against my plan. I hesitated for several days. At last, I spurred (给.....打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I made up my mind.
