第二部分：阅读理解(共15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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

                                       A          

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising. They have been given a new name—phubbers(低头族).

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long­term stretching. ” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere，Beijing Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death，suffered accidents，and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

31. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?

A. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

32. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?

A. His social skills could be affected.

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C. He might get separated from his friends and family.

D. He will cause the destruction of the world.

33. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive.    B. Optimistic.      C. Opposed.         D. Objective.

34. What may the passage talk about next?

A. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.    

B. People addicted to phubbing.

C. Definition of phubbers.          

D. Consequences of phubbing.

                                       B

　   Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. Daydreaming has always had a bad reputation,  but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity. It can even help you achieve your desired goals.

　　Now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do. Researchers are finding daydreaming,  they tell us,  is a good means of relaxation. But its benefits go beyond this. A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.

　　Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration,  attention span,  and the ability to get along with others,  she says. In an experiment with school children,  the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details. They had more happy feelings. They worked together better. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative abilities.

　　But that’s only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that “you can imagine your future”. Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these famous achievers,  it appears that their daydreams came true.  

　　Of course daydreaming is no substitute (代替物) for hard work. You have to work hard to develop skills. Daydreaming alone can’t turn you into your heart’s desire. But in combination with the more usual methods of self-development,  it might make a critical difference. And who knows:  You might see your own daydreams come true.

38. From the scientific research,  a few minutes’ daydreaming will ________.  

A. relieve stress effectively

B. improve grades

C. escape from real life and duties

D. gain a positive attitude towards exams

39. According to Dr. Joan T. Freyberg,  daydreaming can ________.  

A. reduce failure in examinations

B. help rapid and continuous physical growth

C. improve self-control and creative abilities

D. benefit improvement of concentration

40. What does “the story” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The attention.   B. The conclusion.   C. The contribution.    D. The concentration.

41. Nightingale and Edison are examples to explain that daydreaming probably ________.  

A. earns a good reputation

B. takes the place of hard work

C. pictures future profession

D. turns the desire into reality

                                           D

Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart­home security to self­driving cars, all the internet­connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning­fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U．S. top out at an average of 19．42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.

“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age，” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. The self­driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.

Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.

Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.

But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.

42．What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?

A．The lighting­fast speed of 5G.

B．The expectation of 5G world.

C．The difference between 4G and 5G.

D．The internet­connected devices in our life.

43．What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Exhibition. B．Success.

C．Symbol. D．Explanation.

44．We can infer from the text that ________.

A．5G world won’t come without AR glasses

B．5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicle

C．Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwide

D．Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced

45．What will the author probably tell us next?

A．How to fully expand 5G coverage.

B．Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.

C．Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.

D．The importance of infrastructure construction.

第三部分：阅读表达理解(共5题 每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下列短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题所给的具体要求，完成对该问题作答。

I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.

Somewhere along the way, however, I lost touch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a job at a big insurance company out of my business degree. I would go to the office, sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a week 9 to 5. The days were long and tedious. Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.

One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college. It was only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.

As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.

As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment (满足感).

I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision—leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.

The last few years have been exciting because I’ve been following my heart to do what I love. Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.

Sometimes it’s hard to make a change, but I’m so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.

46．What was the author interested in when she was a little girl? (no more than 8 words)

47．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean? (1 word)

48．How did the author feel when she was taking the part-time design course? (no more than 8 words)

49．What did the author do to get back to her creative life? Give two of the facts. (no more than 12 words)

50．Do you consider the author as your role model? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
