第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

    Sometimes a book can help change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom's Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.

    As Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, there were over 3.5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton growing states of the South. The Northern States had ended slavery. Yet, most Northerners were not strongly against slavery. They did not mind that slavery continued in the South.

   Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting her six children to bed, she worked on her book. She told the story of an old slave, Tom, and Simon Legree, a slave owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom's Cabin first came out in 1852. Over 300,000 books were sold out in a year.

    People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil War, which lasted until 1865, finally brought an end to slavery at last.

    Of course, there were many things that made the Civil War happen. Yet, Uncle Tom's Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Lincoln in 1862. As Lincoln took her hand, he said, "So you are the little woman who started the big war."

36. Uncle Tom's Cabin was ______.

A. a book about Harriet Beecher Stowe   

B. a history book

C. a book that helped change history    

D. a book about the American Civil War

37. Before Uncle Tom's Cabin came out, most Northerners ______.

A. were slaves in the south          B. did not know how bad slavery was

C. kept slaves in their homes      D. understood that slavery was wrong

38. From the text, we can see that ______.

A. Stowe was a very young woman         

B. Stowe's husband was dead when she wrote the story

C. Stowe wrote her book with stories from her six children

D. Stowe could not work on her book at all during the day-time

39. While many Northerners agreed with Harriet Beecher Stowe, ______.

A. many Southerners wanted war     

B. many Southerners had not read the book

C. many Southerners were angry at her   

D. some slaves tried to run away from the North

40. Harriet Beecher Stowe ______.

A. was a little woman who started the American Civil War together with Abraham Lincoln

B. was strongly against slavery

C. helped some slaves to run away from the South

D. met Abraham Lincoln before the Civil War

It is sometimes jokingly said that you may skip a meal a day without any adverse effect but skip using your WeChat for an hour and you will feel distinctly unwell. It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions.

    Launched in January 2011, this messaging, social media and mobile payment app today has more than 1 billion individual users. People use it for everything, from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to keeping up with family and friends, shopping and paying bills—activities that are part and parcel of our everyday life.

    When it was first introduced, WeChat was only an app supporting voice, video, picture and text messages between two persons or among a group. But today it has become ubiquitous.

    In the past, people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; today, a smartphone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life. Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before.

    WeChat is also widely used by enterprises. Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts, which enjoy 5 billion followers. Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit. This has immensely reduced advertising, marketing and communication costs, and in the background of the novel coronavirus disease, made operations faster, contactless and safe.

    However, there are concerns about the downsides of WeChat, such as addiction among primary schoolchildren. Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for fraud or instigating crimes. However, it has to be borne in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat, but due to the misuse of the app.

    If we learn to temper our use of messaging apps with prudence and pragmatism, we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the choice is ours, whether to use WeChat or any other new invention, wisely or wantonly.

41. We can conclude from the first paragraph that ______.

A. we can easily skip a meal a day

B. we will be ill by not using WeChat

C. WeChat used to be meant for fun

D. WeChat has become inseparable in daily life

42. The underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 3 probably has the same meaning as ______.

A. everywhere    B. somewhere    C. nowhere    D. wherever

43. For what reasons do the government agencies choose to use WeChat?

A. WeChat has a mobile payment function.

B. The agencies provide better service through WeChat.

C. Mini programs are convenient for the agencies.

D. People do not have to carry keys and cash with them.

44. What benefits does WeChat bring to the businesses?

A. It has brought more followers.

B. It has become a standard.

C. It has helped to cut down the costs.

D. It has made the businesses healthier.

45. What is to be remembered when we look at the downsides of WeChat?

A. WeChat should be held responsible.

B. WeChat should be banned among primary schoolchildren.

C. The improper use of the app leads to many problems.

D. The 5G technology will bring new conveniences and experience.

C

    If you think a high-factor sunscreen (防晒霜) keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week's Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas(黑瘤) and delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.

　　There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas -- the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1,101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection -- not sunscreen -- seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.

　　Many people also don't use sunscreen properly -- applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying. A recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.

The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on (抹上) sunscreen and slap on a hat.

46. What is people's common expectation of a high-factor sunscreen?

A. It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.

B. It will protect them from sunburn.

C. It will keep their skin smooth and fair.

D. It will work for people of any skin color.

47. What does the research in Nature say about a high-factor sunscreen?

A. It is ineffective in preventing melanomas.

B. It is ineffective in case of intense sunlight.

C. It is ineffective with long-term exposure.

D. It is ineffective for people with fair skin.

48. What do we learn from the 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people?

A. Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures.

B. High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen.

C. Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good.

D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.

49. What does the author say about the second Australian study?

A. It misleads people to rely on sunscreen for protection.

B. It helps people to select the most effective sunscreen.

C. It is not based on direct observation of the subjects.

D. It confirms the results of the first Australian study.

50. What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma rates?

A. Using both covering up and sunscreen.

B. Staying in the shade whenever possible.

C. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.

D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.

In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

   My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated（毕业） from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to give up college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

  Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted（收养）and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

   You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream, either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

    The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！

I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember：Little steps add up to big dreams.

51. Why did the author give up her education when she was young?(no more than 10 words)

52. What prevented her going back to college full time?(no more than 10 words)

53. For what reason did the author insist on having a college education?(no more than 10 words)

54. The underlined word “occupied” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.(no more than 5 words)

55. According to this passage, how would you deal with a challenge if you were faced with one?(no more than 10 words)
