第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A，B，C和D中，选出最佳选项。

A

High school freshmen always have a lot of questions on their minds. “What can I do when I grow up?” is one of them. It's definitely not too early to start thinking about this tough question. The following tips may help equip you for your future career.

Think beyond grades

Getting good grades in high school is important, but focusing only on straight A's could go wrong. Spending too much time on your schoolwork will leave you little time to explore opportunities outside of the classroom. Extracurricular (课外的) activities are necessary because they serve as forms of career exploration. They can help you figure out your work preferences, like whether you are a “people person (擅长交际的人)”or prefer to work alone. Nowadays, most well-known colleges care about candidates' experiences as much as their grades.

Seek advice from grown-ups

Talk to your parents, teachers and school counselors (顾问) about how they started their careers. Even though you're not interested in the careers they are in, it would be useful to learn about the process which got them where they are now. If you find your friends' mother doing a worthwhile job by chance, ask her if job shadowing (体验工作) is possible in her company during vacation. After all, seeing a typical day in the position you have an interest in can be an invaluable experience.

Start your search online

If you really have no idea what you can do when you grow up, take online career quizzes to get ideas about what professions naturally match your skills, interests and personality traits (特点). For the time being, you just need to focus on finding a field or two that interests you, rather than a specific career. Chances are you'll change your mind several times before finding a career that you want to stick to. Starting to explore career options now can at least help you decide what your potential major might be.

36. Spending some time taking part in after-school activities can help high school students        .

A. get A's in all subjects

B. explore their work preferences

C. have access to well-known universities

D. get along with their classmates

37. It is suggested that high school students find out their       from online career quizzes.

A. possible professions       B. main disadvantages

C. specific occupations       D. ideal majors

38. This article was probably written by a          .

A. college professor         B. school counselor

C. advertising manager      D. computer programmer

B

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.

Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.

When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."

The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.

Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.

39. The underlined part means a person who __________.

A. always has a sweet smile B. is as pretty as an apple

C. is loved more than anyone else D. looks like an apple

40. The father didn’t pick the boy up because he________.

A. was very lazy B. thought the mother had done that

C. forgot to do so D. was too tired to do so

41. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Be careful in everything you do. B. Love is the most important.

C. Learn to forgive others D. Everyone can make mistakes.

42. What do you think of the husband?

A .Warm-hearted     B. Careful       C. Hard-working D. Broad-minded.

C

People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental wellbeing and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who eat savoury (咸味的) snacks such as crisps (薯片), which are low in nutrients, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.

Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, and their psychological health. The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor savoury snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health. Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental wellbeing, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses (差错) and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient-poor savoury snacks, everyday mental lapses, and psychological health.

Lead author, PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented, “Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health and wellbeing, and while we did not directly examine causality here, our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor savoury foods may increase everyday mental lapses, which in turn reduces psychological health.”

“It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental wellbeing. Conversely, it is also possible that the forthcoming restriction of processed snacks at checkouts, due to come in this October, could not only improve the country’s physical health, but mental health too.”

“Overall, it’s definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”

43．Which may lead to greater level of anxiety?

A．Savoury snacks  B．Fruit   C．Vegetables  D．Grain

44．What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A．Rich fruit appears not to be linked to psychological health.

B．The more fruit people eat, the lower they score for depression.

C．There is a relation between the nutrient-poor snacks and mental health.

D．There is a direct link between eating vegetables and psychological health.

45．What does the underlined word “causality” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The relation between fruit and vegetables. 

B．The relation between exercise and health.

C．The relation between snacks and mental health.

D．The relation between diet and mental health and wellbeing

46．Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．Eating habits can prevent disease.

B．Eating unhealthy snacks often is harmful to health.

C．Eating vegetables often can improve mental health.

D．Eating fruit often may contribute to mental health.

If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs（00后）．The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too, right? But what do other people think about your generation?

Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the“ face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍)to become successful in real life or “IRL”,as you would say?

Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(宠坏的)and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的)and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.

So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8(great) and LOL(laugh out loud).

47. Today's teenagers are thought of as the face-down generation because

A. They are busy texting

B. They use their phones a lot

C. They deal with school and family with their phones

D. They become successful with their phones

48. What does “helicopter parents” mean in Paragraph 3?

A. Parents who prefer to live like teenagers

B. Parents who often fly everywhere for their business

C. Parents who do dancing, drawing or sports with their children

D. Parents who always guide and help children with homework and extra-curricular activities

49. What does the writer think about the face-down generation?

A. They are annoyed.

B. They are powerful.

C. They are spoilt.

D. They are positive.

50.What's the best title of this passage?

A. The face-down generation

B. The young generation

C. The generation gap

D. The future generation

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many people think of sharks as dangerous monsters. But human beings cause a far greater danger to them than they do to us. Although shark attacks do occur, they are quite rare. According to one estimate, however, humans kill 100 million sharks every year.    51  

Why should we save the sharks?

Sharks take up the top position on the food chain in the ocean. As sharks die off, the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase. This, in turn, means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop.    52   Fish that eat algae (藻类) are also included. This can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.

   53   The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined, but also removes half of the man-made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. Once sharks die off, the global ecosystem will be upset, affecting all creatures including human beings.

Don’t use shark products

First, vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts.    54   In addition, shark meat is sold around the world, sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or whitefish.

Shark fin soup is a popular dish. However, the process of getting fins is cruel. Fishermen cut the shark’s fins off and then throw the shark back into the water, still alive.    55   Sharks breathe by swimming, so a shark that can’t swim will die.

A. It is time for children to learn about sharks

B. Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products

C. Then the shark dies slowly, sometimes over several days

D. Actually, the killing of sharks will affect the whole planet

E. People in some countries are especially keen on shark products

F. Among them are some sea fish that humans consume every day

G. This number is a warning that many kinds of sharks may die out
