第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）

第一节（共10个小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A

At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teacher recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life filled with the arts.

In fact, I was a victim of gender stereotypes that men do science or maths and women do art or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. No girls popular in my school chose to study those subjects.

Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say, “It’s great you speak foreign languages, but what else can you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.

A recent survey showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. Ifs a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry, from fashion to architecture. Anybody can learn to code programs and these days ifs as important as reading and writing. Fve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy.

Not being able to code programs limits your impact on the world far more than ignorance of great literature.

Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background can. Fm exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. Fm hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potential for science and want to change the world.

21. What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotypes” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Personal learning style.               B. Sex characteristics.

C. Conventional sex concepts.            D. Profession difference.

22. According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?

A. Improving language competence.        B. Increasing job possibilities.

C. Winning popularity.                   D. Understanding great literature.

23. How did the author feel for her major choice?

A. Satisfied.                  B. Active.    

C. Discouraged.               D.  Regretful

B

Bloomberg reported on the status of Tokyo Bay, the open water swimming venue for triathletes (铁人三项运动员). Bloomberg’s report actually sums itself up quite nicely in just two words: “It stinks.”

The question of water quality first came up in 2019. During a water test prior to a paratriathlon race, E.coli was detected in more than double the amount allowed for competition by the International Triathlon Union. A local newspaper quoted one athlete as saying the bay “smelled like a toilef”.

Where tlie problems lie in this specific case is that there have been concerns over the pollution in Tokyo Bay for a very long time. This is due to the Tokyo metropolis having a mixed sewage (污水）system. In a mixed sewage system，drainage (排水系统）for rainwater and sewage are combined, not separate.

According to Bloomberg's report, during times of flooding, untreated sewage system gets flushed directly into the bay in an effort to avoid flood damage. So, what happens to the untreated waste water that gets pumped directly into the bay? For the most part, it simply stays in the bay. According to research by Koibuchi, due to the size and depth of the bay, approximately 60 percent of the water in the bay is from the rivers and Tokyo’s drainpipes.

In response to that water test, Tokyo put forward new efforts to clean up the pollution in the bay. These steps include dumping massive amounts of sand into the bay, putting in polyester screens to protect against E.coli, and installing new storage tanks to hold flood runoff, so it can be treated before being released into the bay. Despite these measures, the bay has been emitting an unpleasant smell for a few weeks, according to Bloomberg’s report.

24. According to the passage, E.coli ____________.

A. can be a harmfiil substance    

B. comes from the body of a sea animal

C. may help clean the sea    

D. is a kind of household waste

25. What causes Tokyo Bay to smell unpleasant?

A. Rainwater trapped in it.

B. The old storage tank.

C. Untreated sewage system.

D. Floodwater from the ground.

26. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The sand dumped into the bay works well to reduce the smell of the bay.

B. The efforts newly made greatly prevent the bay from emitting a bad smell.

C. The measures taken lately in response to the water test are not so effective.

D. Frequent water tests help to prevent against water pollution.

27. What will possibly be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. The bad effect of sewage.

B. The further measures to be taken.

C. Different opinions about the previous measures.

D. Athletes’ attitude to the unpleasant smelling.

C

Falls are the leading cause of injury death and the most common cause of death in hospital among people 65 and over. But now the good news is that scientists have developed a “magic carpet”. It doesn’t fly, and it won’t take you over，sideways, and under on a ride through the Arabian night sky, but it can use tiny sensors to map peopled walking patterns - patterns that may then be analyzed to predict and even prevent falls.

British researchers say their invention could sound a warning before the fall, simply by monitoring a person’s every step, using a series of fibre optic cables (光纤维）woven into the carpet. Laid beneath a carpet, tiny electronics can bend when anyone steps on it and act as sensors sending signals to a computer, which can be analyzed to show the image of the footprint and spot gradual changes in walking behaviour or a sudden incident like a fall.

Each year, more than a third of older adults suffer a fall and with the world's population aging every year, that number is likely to increase. The researchers believe the technology could be used to fit smart carpets in care homes or hospitals, as well as being fitted in peopled homes if necessary.

Dr. Patricia Scully, from The University of Manchester^ Photon Science Institute, believes the magic carpet could be vital not only for helping people in the immediate result of a fall, but also in identifying little changes in people’s walking habits which might not be spotted by a family member or carer.

This is really exciting research work using technologies to prevent falls and demonstrates how engineers, scientists and healthcare professionals, can work together to develop new and innovative health care technologies that make a real difference in practice.

28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The carpet can use sensors to give a map for walking direction.

B. The warning alarm goes off the moment the fall takes place.

C. The carpet represents a joint effort of scientists from different backgrounds.

D. Besides the carpet, a family member can identify the little changes in walking habits.

29. The best title of the passage might be _____________.

A. Researchers find a cure for falls

B. The magic carpet stops elderly falling over

C. A new technology can change elderly’s walking behaviour

D. Smart equipment for elderly people is on the way

30. You can most probably see this article in_____________.

A. a science fiction              B. a news report

C. a hospital leaflet              D. a speech

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。

Mash Assadollat was the grocer at our comer store. Standing behind his glass display case, he tore out some pages from a book, filled them with sugar cubes and tea and weighed them one by one on a brass tray (托盘）on the left side of his scale. Then，he folded the wrappers closed and handed it to me. I paid him and left. I got home, took the goods and emptied the wrappers.

Having not much to do in my summer vacation, I started to read the wrappers, which had once been pages of a book. How well written and attractive the words were! It was a good story. I sat there until I had read all the pages. Honestly, I had never read a book before, excq)t for my textbooks. But when I read all eight pages, I realized that how I loved reading. The only problem was that the story stopped right at the best part, which was the most important and exciting part in the story.

I decided to get the rest of the book to satisfy my curiosity. I ran to the comer. “Hello, sir.” I gasped breathlessly. I tried speaking politely. “Where is the rest of that book? Could you please kindly give it to me? I’ll read it and bring it right back to you.” “What book? I don’t have any books in my shop.” Mash Assadollat furled his eyebrows and asked.

I tried to be convincing. “The one that you tore pages from and then used the pages to wrap sugar cubes and tea! Please, I beg you to tell me what you did with that book!” The old man frowned in surprise and disbelief. “What do you want with the rest of the book?” “Sir, I just want to see what happens in the end.”

To butter him up, I removed one of the trays of his scale, brushed the sugar off outside by the wall, wiped the tray really well with my right sleeve, and then put it back in its place. However, Mash Assadollah brushed me off lightly. “Go away, kid，and let me get back to work. That book is no good for you.”

1. 所续写短文的词数为150左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

Dear Kevin,

Learning that you^e upset that you^e not permitted to browse Tik Tok at the weekend, I fully understand your feeling. So Pm writing to offer you some advice.

If we spend too much time on Tik Tok, there will be little time left for our studies. That is why our parents expect us to focus on study. If I were you, I would shift my attention to other interesting things, like rock climbing. Besides, why not have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents, which can enhance your mutual understanding.

I do hope you keep in good mood. Looking forward to your reply!

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）：

Paragraph 1: He was a hard nut to crack and couldnyt be softened easily. But I was persistent. I grabbed a cloth, trying to wipe the dust on the tray. I wanted to make sure that Mash Assadollah could see my good deed. However, the tray slipped out of my hand surprisingly, making everything messed up. uWhat are you doing, kid?” He was so angry that I almost melted with embarrassment. He roared, uAre you a total idiot? Who told you to do any chores for me?” In tension, I felt my palms sweating and didn’t what to do. 

Paragraph 2: Suddenly, my guilt was overcome by an idea. Having picked up the sugar cubes, I recommended myself politely, uSir, your sugar cubes and tea are always my favourite. I guarantee that they will be well received this summer if I promote them to my friends and neighbours !,9 Overwhelmed by my sincerity and wits，he sighed, taking out a worn-out book. I clenched it to my chest, wild with joy and couldn’t wait to read it.
