第二部分  阅读理解（共两节, 50分）

第—节（共15小题: 每小题2.5分, 共37.5分）

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

A

Have you ever had such an experience that a day starting out bad just continues to get worse. But why?

Sometimes there’s a “domino effect” with bad events. For example, you sleep through the alarm, so you’re stressed. And you will sit in the bad traffic, which will also make you late to work, etc.

How can we turn a bad day to a good day? Here are some ideas that have worked for me:

Smile a lot

Smiling a lot will help you feel relaxed. Research has shown that smiling produces three useful chemicals which make us feel good.

Talk to a good friend

Talk to someone who cares and listens really does help us feel better, too.

Focus on your good things

It’s hard to focus on how bad things are when you’re focusing on how good things are!

Think of 10 or more things you’re thankful for, and you’ll achieve a whole new outlook (人生观) on your day.

Get some exercise

If you can, exercise. Exercising will help you feel better and it can get your day back to be normal again.

Make the day a challenge

If you make yourself think of the day as a challenge, you’ll start to do all the things you can to make your day better.

21. What does the underlined phrase the “domino effect” mean according to the passage?

A. It’s an effect that gets one event to cause other similar events to happen.

B. It’s an effect that turns a good day to a bad day.

C. It’s an effect that makes one person affect another.

D. It’s an effect that turns bad things into good things.

22. How can the three useful chemicals that smiling produces make us feel?

A. Angry. B. Relaxed. C. Stressed. D. Worried.

23. What will we do if we consider a bad day as a challenge?

A. We will try our best to do things. B. We will give up doing things.

C. We will lose all our confidence. D. We will go to exercise at once.

B

He’s a comedian, he’s an actor, he’s British and the whole world knows him as the silent, black-haired character Mr. Bean. That’s right, Rowan Atkinson.

Atkinson was born in Newcastle, England and was educated at Newcastle University and Oxford. While at Oxford, he met the writer Richard Curtis, who was studying there too, and they became friends. Curtis was quite different from Atkinson. He had great love for words while Atkinson enjoyed nonverbal (不用语言的) comedy. Together they began writing comedy reviews for the Oxford Playhouse. Shortly afterwards, Atkinson began appearing in smaller theatres in Edinburgh. After a show at the Hampstead Theatre in 1978, he was offered a part in the BBC series Not the Nine o’clock News. This series got off to a slow start, but soon became a huge success, with Atkinson winning a BAFTA award for his work. However, being a very wise man, Atkinson saw the whole acting job as a hobby, along with his growing interest in car racing.

Atkinson made his big-screen appearance in 1983’s unofficial James Bond film Never Say Never Again. That same year Atkinson appeared in the BBC series called Black Adder. The main hero named Edmund, tries unsuccessfully to become King of England after accidentally killing his uncle Richard I during a fight. This was followed by three hugely successful sequels each set in a different era of England’s history. The Black Adder series won the Best Comedy Show of the Year in 1990. He then went on to create Mr. Bean. A walking disaster, Bean was purely physical comedy, different from Edmund. This character was a huge success and became another national treasure. In 1997 Bean came to the big screen. A few years later, Scooby Doo became a box office hit in the US in 2002. This was followed by Johnny English in 2003, a funny work of James Bond films.

In his spare time, Atkinson collects classic cars and takes part in races. He also writes for the British magazine CAR. He is a very shy man, and has managed to keep his private life private.

24. How did Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson get to know each other?

A. They worked together for BBC. B. They starred in the same series.

C. They went to the same university. D. They met in the Oxford Playhouse.

25. What can we know about the BBC series Not the Nine O’clock News?

A. It made Atkinson famous. 

B. It became successful immediately.

C. It got Atkinson to give up physical comedy. 

D. It showed some of Atkinson’s weaknesses as an actor.

26. What do we know about Atkinson at the beginning of his career?

A. He kept writing comedies. B. He did not view acting as a job.

C. He did not like physical comedy. D. He had an argument with Curtis about comedy.

27. What would you recommend to someone who likes humor mixed with history?

A. Mr. Bean.  B. Black Adder.

C. Johnny English.  D. Not the Nine o’clock News.

C

For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.

As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify（辨别）this unusual condition.

Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.

Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘No, thanks. I’m amusic,’” says Margaret.

28. Amusics are the people who____________.

A. like music  B. are born unable to enjoy music

C. don’t like music  D. have poor listening

29. Life is hard for amusics mainly because____________.

A. they know they cannot enjoy music B. they hate parties, restaurants or shopping centers

C. they try to stay at the place full of music D. they are not understood by others

30. What causes amusics to be different from most people according to scientists?

A. Their lack of colors.  B. Their poor hearing.

C. Their brains.  D. Their problems with speech.

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Some people’s inability to enjoy music. B. Some people’s musical ability.

C. Amusics’ strange behaviors. D. Diagnosis and treatment of amusics.

D

‌“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials (纪念碑) of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic (国内的) tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.

Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term ‌“red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.

Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the well-being of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.

Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people, since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.

Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.

32. What can we know about red tourism?

A. It has brought life to tourism. B. It is not popular with the young.

C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.

33. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2?

A. To describe a scene.  B. To prove his idea.

C. To illustrate the story. D. To introduce a platform.

34. What is the benefit of red tourism for rural areas?

A. It can help improve farming facilities. B. Local people can make more money.

C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors. D. Local people can receive much help from society.

35. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs?

A. More and more people will choose red tourism.

B. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism.

C. Some measures should be taken to solve problems.

D. More red tourism sites should be open to the public.

A Father’s Day Surprise

“Mano, do you know when Father’s Day is celebrated?” Ali asked his sister.

“Yes, it is going to be celebrated on June 19 this year. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about it.” Mano replied.

“Do you have any idea how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad?” Ali asked.

“Hmm. I was thinking about it too and have some ideas.” Mano answered excitedly. “What are you kids talking about?” their mum asked, entering their room.

“Mum, we were wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day.” Mano said.

“Oh, I am surprised you kids remembered! Well, I am thinking of cooking some favorite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully.” Mum said.

“That would be great!” said Mano and Ali together. Both of them got up smiling, thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mum went to the kitchen, and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali, I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs?” Mano replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades.” Ali nodded. The next day, all three of them, Mano, Ali and their mum, got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day. Mano drew a family picture with her crayons, Ali bought balloons and candles and began writing a poem which he planned to sing that day. In short, a lot of things were being planned and prepared.

Dear fellow students,

     I’m honored to have the chance to make a speech about friendship.

     Friendship is like sunshine, which keeps us warm and helps us grow. It is important for us to make good friends so that we can always study and have fun together. I like to choose people that are kind, honest and helpful as my friends with whom I will share my thoughts and fears whenever I get into trouble. We should lend helping hand when our friends are in need, and only in this way can we maintain friendships.

     That’s all. Thank you for your listening!

67. Finally, when Father’s day came, both Ali and Mano came home from school and started decorating the house. Ali quickly cleaned the living room and continued with the decoration, putting up the colorful balloons and presenting the birthday cake. At the same time, Mano took out the family picture. They were about to practice singing the poem when the delicious smell came from the kitchen. Surely it was Mom that prepared the big meal. French toast and chicken porridge, both of which were father’s favorite dishes, were ready. Eventually, everything was settled. Ali and Mano stood beside the door, waiting for their father eagerly. Then Dad came in.

Ali and Mano cried out together, “Happy Father’s Day!” Hearing the words, so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a surprise for you!” added Ali, pointing at the decorations. When he saw the dinner, his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of chick soup, explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had. Mom smiled heartily and exchanged a gentle glance with Ali and Mano. What a beautiful and sweet surprise! The room was filled with happiness.
