第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节（共 15 小题； 每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 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

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the
50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact ( 接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000



or more calories per hour.

However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.


21. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?

A. They must run long distances. B. They are qualified for the marathon. C. They have to follow special rules. D. They are good at swinging their legs.
22. What advantage does race walking have over running?

A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. B. It’s less challenging physically.

C. It’s more effective in body building. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.

23. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?

A. Skeptical. B. Objective.

C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.



B

In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police
methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange

drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as



his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.


24. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?

A. His friends' invitation. B. His interest in the country. C. His love for teaching. D. His desire to regain health.
25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A Developing a serious mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tour in Central Asia. C. Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. D. Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
26. Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan?

A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Pleasant. D. Dangerous.

27. What is the purpose of this text?

A. To introduce a book. B. To explain a cultural phenomenon. C. To remember a writer. D. To recommend a travel destination.


C

A team from the University of Tokyo just published a new study that says that writing on paper is actually the best for your mind. “Paper is more advanced and useful compared to electronic records because paper contains more one-of-a-kind information for stronger memory recall,” said Professor Kuniyoshi L. Sakai, a neuroscientist
at the University of Tokyo and author in the study.

Most people like smartphones or tablets because they seem to make everyday tasks easier, but after gathering
48 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 29 for the study, the researchers found that those who wrote on paper to finish note-taking tasks completed these 25 percent faster than people who used smartphones or tablets. What is the reason? The team said that using paper gave the volunteers more of a chance to write in their own form, while digital devices are more consistent (始终如一的).

The researchers divided the volunteers, including college students and office staff, into three groups depending on their memory, preferences for using paper or digital tools, sex and age. Then each volunteer read a conversation that highlighted characters explaining their plans, which mentioned what they wanted to do in two months, their 14 different class times, the deadlines for the characters' homework, and any other things. After using their paper or a device to take notes about this conversation, the volunteers were given an hour break and at ask to keep them from thinking directly about the study. They were then asked a number of questions like “What are the deadlines for the characters’ homework?”
Those who used paper for notetaking took only 11 minutes to jot down their thoughts during the study, while people who used tablets took 14 minutes; smartphone users spent the most time on the task, taking 16 minutes to



write down their thoughts. As for the accuracy of the answers, those writing on paper seemed to stand out. This suggested that writing on paper benefited their memory.


28. Why did the volunteers writing on paper finish note-taking tasks faster?

A. Their tasks were less difficult. B. They took notes without any stops. C. They could write in their unique ways. D.Their writing styles were consistent.
29. What were the volunteers required to do in the study?

A. Make up some conversations. B. Raise questions for each other.

C. Take notes about a conversation. D. Discuss notes with group members.

30. Why were the volunteers asked to answer questions after a break? A.To ensure the accuracy. B. To test their memory.
C. To keep them energetic D. To remove their thoughts.

31. What does the underlined phrase “jot down” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Leave out. B. Break down. C. Write down. D. Concentrate on.



D

If you’re tired and find yourself with that rare spare chunk of time, should you be using it to swing kettle bells or get more sleep? It’s a question most people have faced. Who isn’t a little sleep-deprived (被剥夺
的) ?Who doesn’t need more exercise? Who has time for both?

The answer is a bit complicated. Obviously, both sleep and exercise are vital, and ideally, adults should make time for both. Getting the recommended seven hours a night is important for metabolic (新陈代谢的) function, weight regulation and brain health. Inadequate amount or quality of sleep is associated with both short-and
long-term poor health measures, increasing the risk for heart disease, memory problems, etc. Consistent physical exercise yields similar benefits and, just like not getting enough sleep, failing to exercise can have serious health consequences. Exercise can improve deep sleep, and sleeping better enhanced the ability to exercise the next day.
Because both are so critical for health, medical experts hesitate to say one is more important than the other. However, there is a key differentiator (区分点) between the two: “We have a biological need to sleep — it’s a behavior we must do every day,” says Christopher. “Physical activity, on the other hand, is definitely beneficial for
health, but being less active for a few days here and there doesn’t have the same negative health impact as having stall sleep for days.” In other words, skipping workouts, while not ideal, won’t stop you from operating, whereas being sleep deprived definitely will. Too little sleep or poor-quality sleep can impact mood, and increase anxiety and depression symptoms.
In order to stay somewhat active without sacrificing sleep, the trick may be to look for non-traditional ways to get physical activity. Washing dishes, making beds, keeping the kid in their baby carriage and going for a quick jog—it all counts, and none of it requires skipping sleep.



32. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?

A. Tips on how to balance exercise and sleep. B. The ways to get more sleep instead of exercise. C. The relationship between sleep and workout D. A common problem that occurs in daily life.
33. According to the passage, what risk may adults face if they lack enough sleep? A. Hair loss. B. Lung cancer. C. Heart failure. D. Total blindness.
34. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Workouts matter more than enough sleep.
B.Sleeping too little for long can surely cause consequences. C. More physical activities can lead to health problems
D. Being less active for long has more negative impact than lack of sleep.

35. Which of the following seems to be favored by the author?

A. Getting enough exercise before sleeping. B. Giving up sleep to go for a quick jog.
C. Working out by doing housework. D. Leaving the baby alone in their baby carriage.

The British have been drinking tea for over 350 years. But in fact, the history of tea goes much 56 (far)
back.
The story of tea begins in China. According to the legend, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting 57 a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung,
58 expert in herbal medicine, decided to try the water his servant created. As a result, it tasted so good that later the drink was 59 we now call tea.
It is 60 (possible) to know whether there is any truth in this story. 61 , tea drinking certainly was established in China many centuries before it had even been heard of in the west. Containers of tea 62 (find) in tombs dating from the Han dynasty (206BC-220AD) before tea was firmly established as the national drink of China in the Tang dynasty (618-906AD). It became 63 a favorite thing that during the late eighth century, a writer
64 (call) Lu Yu wrote the first book entirely about tea, the Ch’a Ching, or Tea Classic. It was shortly after this that tea was first introduced to Japan, by Japanese Buddhist monks who had travelled to China to study before.

第二节 （满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Children played in the yards along the block. I waved to them as I walked by, delivering mail at houses along the way. It was just an ordinary Thursday afternoon.
There were only about 700 people on my route. Over the years, I had gotten to know most of them, if not in person then by their mail. Mrs. Dorman at the end of my route got a package from the Home Shopping Network



almost every day. She was an old lady, living alone and I liked being able to bring a little joy into her life with my delivery.
Some mailmen preferred routes where they drove a truck and slipped the mail into a collection of mailboxes without seeing anyone face to face. Not me. I wanted to be outside talking to people.
To be honest, there wasn’t much excitement on a local postal route like mine. Except a sudden rainstorm or a holiday, every day was pretty much the same. But I knew I provided an important service in my job. College acceptances, birthday presents, postcards from all corners of the world——they could all make someone’s day.
I dug in my bag for Mrs. Dorman’s mail——the Home Shopping Network package. She would be glad to get this, whatever it was. Mrs. Dorman often waited for me at the door and we always had a nice talk.
Mrs. Dorman wasn’t at the door today, but I heard the TV going inside, so I knew she was home. Probably watching her shopping shows, I thought. I bent down to put her package by the door.
I froze. What was that? Something like a weak cry. I leaned closer to the door. Maybe the sound came from the TV? “Mrs. Dorman?” I called. No answer. And then the same weak cry. I tried to open the door, but it was locked. So I pressed my ear against it.


注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。

This time I clearly heard the words, “Help me!”









“What had happened that day?” I asked Mrs. Dorman after she came back home from the hospital.
