第二部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节（共15题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B,C或D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

    There really are apps for everything and some could end up saving your life.
    WhatsApp
    Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but do you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know your whereabouts in case you're in danger? You simply press the "+" key in a chat, select "Location", and then press "Share Live Location", which enables any participant in the chat to see your location in real time for the duration you choose.
    SkinVision
    You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, either on an ad hoc or a subscription basis, but with an estimated fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed (未确诊的) during lockdown, it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any suspicious (可疑的) spot with your phone and you'll then receive a risk indication from SkinVision's clinically acknowledged technology within 30 seconds.
    Stay Alive
    With mental health problems on the increase, this prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from strategies for staying grounded when you feel overwhelmed, to breathing exercises to direct links to national and local crisis resources.
    St John Ambulance First Aid
    An app like this is more useful for saving someone else's life than your own, but arguably it's a must-have on your smartphone. It gives advice in dealing with emergencies, including choking, allergic reactions and performing CPR. You don't have to have an Internet connection in order to use it.

21. What can Skin Vision users do?

A. They can learn first aid skills.
B. They can do skin check easily.
C. They can take beautiful photos.
D. They can share their accurate location.

22. What makes St John Ambulance First Aid unique?

A. It offers advice on mental health.
B. It helps save both users and others.
C. It is accessible only to online users.
D. It is of great benefit to cancer patients.

23. Which app may help track users?

A. WhatsApp. B. Skin Vision.
C. Stay Alive. D. St John Ambulance First Aid.

B

    Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fierce debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles (雀斑). Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
    In East Asia, freckles might be considered a "destructive weakness" for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people don't care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a "clean" face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
    Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles "angel kisses". For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
    When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don't see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted (斜的) and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country's most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn't fit with traditional beauty standards.
    Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia's beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
    As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing's for sure—no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.

24. What do most western people think of having freckles?

A. It is something unbearable.
B. It is a destructive weakness.
C. It is something to wish for.
D. It is a symbol of traditional beauty.

25. What do the underlined words "see eye-to-eye" mean in Paragraph 4?

A. Have the same opinion. B. Recognize their strengths.
C. Misunderstand each other. D. Argue against one another.

26. Why do western girls prefer to appear mature?

A. They think this beauty standard is better.
B. They want to look independent and unique.
C. They hope to have high popularity in Asia.
D. They admire Wonder Woman very much.

27. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. What Zara's beauty standard is.
B. Why Chinese people donˈt like freckles.
C. What causes the different beauty standards.
D. How easterners and westerners think of beauty.

C

    Efforts to preserve the Amazon rain forest, which supports immense biodiversity and locks away tons of climate threatening carbon, are growing more urgent as the ecosystem's destruction accelerates. Indigenous (当地的) peoples have been trying to protect the region by patrolling (巡逻) their territorial boundaries for illegal activities. But rapid deforestation continues.
    A recent study shows that combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes on Amazon deforestation—and potentially that of forests elsewhere.
    Illegal logging, agriculture and coca cultivation particularly threaten the Amazon in the Peruvian Indigenous communities and outsiders are often the culprits (罪魁祸首). The research team wondered if providing training for local people to use satellite-based "early deforestation alerts" could help. The scientists collaborated with 76 Indigenous communities, 36 of which participated in using these alerts to watch over the forest. Over the next two years these trained participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via the app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts, patrolled for deforestation in other areas and reported confirmed losses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the culprits on their own or inform state authorities.
    The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the early-alert program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares in the first two year—a 52% reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities.
    Experts say this approach to tackling Amazonian deforestation looks promising. "Would this work in all communities that have high risk of deforestation? Given the results, it's worth a try." says Catherine Tucker, a researcher at the University of Florida. "But some communities may not have access to the resources needed for such a program, or their territories may hold valuable minerals that would increase the risk of deforestation by outsiders despite monitoring efforts," wrote Francisco Hernandez Cayetano, a community member involved in the research, "we as Indigenous peoples ask the world for support."

28. Why did the research team conduct the program?

A. To stop carbon being locked away. B. To tackle Amazon deforestation.
C. To monitor satellite movement. D. To control illegal activities.

29. How does the community-based monitoring work?

A. By offering locals training in using a smartphone app.
B. By combining local monitoring with smartphone alerts.
C. By organizing native people to fight against the outsiders.
D. By equipping local forest with satellite data and monitors.

30. What is Catherine Tucker's attitude toward the approach to preventing deforestation?

A. Pessimistic. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Conventional.

31. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. Local Monitors Trained for Forest Loss.
B. Satellite Data Cure Deforestation.
C. Outsiders Are to Blame for Forest Loss.
D. Smart Patrol Fights Deforestation.

D

    "Have you checked the oil in the car?" my father used to say to me, his version of "Hello, hope you are well." Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
    Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate phrase "You made my life better from the moment you were born" may be rarely heard, but there is the more common "I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof."
    Why can't we fathers just say "I love you" or "It's great to see you?" The point is: That' s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase "I love you" can be heard in the lengthier "I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly".
    When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. "Highways are dangerous," he said, "so don't try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil." At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant "horse-and-buggy" every time I floored the accelerator.
    Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad's attempt at affection.

32. According to the passage, how do fathers usually show their affection?

A. By inquiring their kids' car. B. By doing rather than saying.
C. By offering helpful advice. D. By accompanying their kids.

33. Why does the author mention his first road trip?

A. To exemplify the unique parental concern.
B. To provide some background knowledge.
C. To explain the reasons for my mocking.
D. To present my father's funny speech.

34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. My father has gone somewhere faraway.
B. I regretted making fun of my father's speech.
C. I owned a copy of Fatherlish-to-English dictionary.
D. My father's speech got across to me when I was 17.

35. Which words can best describe the author's father?

A. Caring and considerate. B. Devoted and generous.
C. Talkative and humorous. D. Knowledgeable and diligent.

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

    Books have a beginning, a middle and an end.   36   To properly read a book, you should pay attention to its importance. For non-fiction books, it is important to read text in its entirety but think about only the major points the author is trying to express.
    Choose a well-lit and quiet place to read your book. 37  You are more likely to concentrate on the words on the page if you are not affected by noises or other things.
    Decide how much time you want to devote to the reading. You may want to adjust this time allotment according to how long and difficult the reading material is.  38   
      39   If you own your book, use note-taking symbols in the paragraphs. For example, if you find something that is important, put a star or a few words next to it. If you are unsure of something and it needs more research, put a question mark next to it.
    Write answers to questions at the end of your reading and give definitions of important terms. For every 100 pages of text you should have at least three to five pages of written notes.  40   If you are using a computer to take notes, don't copy and paste text from your reading.
A. Write in your book.
B. Make a detailed plan.
C. Use your own words to answer your questions.
D. As such they should be read from start to finish.
E. Turn off your cell phone and television so that your attention won't be disturbed.
F. Therefore, stop every now and then to think about the structure and main content.
G. For example, spend 4 hours on detailed reading of a 250-page book and 1 hour on note-taking.

    "Go back, Mom! Go back!" shouted my six-year-old daughter, June. I quickly turned around to cast my doubtful eyes on the back seat, worried I had forgotten her younger sister. I was relieved to see the girls safe and sit in their car seats, but June's expression was one of pure anxiety. "Mom, we have to go back," she insisted. "Someone needs our help!"
    As I looked back from the driver's seat, I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar. His skinny, poor-looking dog rested next to his feet near an old, worn cardboard sign that read, "Homeless, please help."
    We'd come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggles. I should seize the chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand. So I searched for some cash, only to find I had nothing but credit cards. "I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I don't have any cash," I said. "I have some, Mom!" June replied. She opened her little pink purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill. "Oh, good. I'll pay you back when we get home," I responded with a sigh of relief. "No. Mom." she insisted, "I want to help him. I don't want you to pay me back. I want to give him my money."
    As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot, I reassured her that we would get to him.
    When we got there. I called out, "Excuse me, sir!" He cautiously walked toward our car and answered, "Yes, ma'am?" "Here you go, sir." June stretched out her entire body to hand him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained, "I want you to have this." He smiled and hesitatingly asked, "This was your money?" "Yes! I want you to have it," she proudly answered. "Thank you," he said, touched by her thoughtfulness.
    We exchanged a smile, and as we drove away, my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry. I hadn't noticed that she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters in her tiny hands.

Dear Alex,
    ①I'm glad to receive your email telling me that you are to participate in the Chinese Poetry Recital. I'm writing to recommend one.
    The poem I strongly recommend is Dawn of Spring written by Meng Haoran, a notable poet of Tang Dynasty. Short as it is, it features the breathtaking scenery after raining on a spring morning. Moreover, it sounds rhyming, making it accessible to Chinese language learners. It makes sense to watch some videos to get deep insights into the Tang Poetry. With abundant preparations and commitment, your performance will be a great success.
    Good luck to you!

Yours sincerely,
 Li Hua

  "Mom, I wanted to help, too," she sobbed. I sighed and drove back to where we saw the man. But what could be found was only the guitar leaning against the wall. After 20 minutes' search, outside a KFC, we spotted the man talking to an old granny with a walking stick. We were so happy that we ran towards him, "So you are here. I'm looking for you." said Scarlett.
     Now with tears in his eyes, he said in disbelief, "You want to help me?" She said, "Yes, I want to help you as my elder sister did, but I couldn't find you." "The old granny wanted to buy food in the KFC, but she had difficulty in walking. So I helped her." he said. Scarlett said, "You're so kind. Here is the money that I want to give you." The man accepted it and said with appreciation, "Thank you. Hope you have a good day." Then we waved him goodbye and left for home.
