第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分50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

If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!

Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.

You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.

If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.

Spend time around people who show kindness.

Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.

Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.

When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.

Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.

When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.

51．Who is the passage intended for?

A．Teachers. B．Students. C．Parents. D．Adults.

52．If you are fond of reading, you can ________.

A．join a club to make friends

B．approach people with lots of hobbies

C．spend your free time meeting different people

D．talk to people with the same interests

53．According to Paragraph 4, who is more likely to be a good friend?

A．One who enjoys the popularity.

B．One who talks bad about others.

C．One who wants to help you.

D．One who always put others down.

54．According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well?

A．Start with a warm handshake.

B．Make eye contact with the person.

C．Start with a brief introduction of yourself.

D．Start by talking about a serious topic.

55．You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.

A．keep the conversation going B．end the conversation

C．show kindness D．respect others

B

Eight months after my father died, I saw some letters on top of my mother’s coffee table. They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.

“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a hint of a smile.

The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.

Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.

I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearesr” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.”

As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets.

My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (留恋的) tone. I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time. After she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils. Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several pages.

These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.

56．What kind of person did the author think her father was?

A．Optimistic. B．Reserved. C．Sensitive. D．Romantic.

57．What can we know about the author’s family?

A．Her mother was the family’s provider.

B．She didn’t get on well with her father.

C．Her parents were emigrants to Italy.

D．Her parents shared similar personalities.

58．What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?

A．Interests. B．Ideas. C．Sides. D．Possibilities.

59．How did the author feel when she heard the words in the letters?

A．Surprised. B．Awkward. C．Thrilled. D．Heartbroken.

60．What did the author find out about her father through the letters?

A．He was good at hiding his feelings.

B．He regretted not being with his family.

C．He was a loving husband and father.

D．He was stubborn from the inside out.

C

Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective devices mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two innovators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world—hear.com.

Hear.com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids—the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices pack cutting-edge technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a unique way that has been clinically proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech.

But hear.com knows it’s not just about tech and design. They’ve put an enormous effort into the entire experience to make hearing care more accessible and more affordable. “Everyone should be able to hear well to live well,” Crusius says. “And it’s very individual. Each person’s hearing loss is different and requires a personalized approach to find the best solution.”

“We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To guarantee your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.”

And it’s working. Hear.com has now helped more than 100,000 customers improve their hearing. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and 5-star rating on the customer review platform, Trustpilot, speaks for itself.

Hear.com’s “never corporate” and “customer first” approach also helps drive the company’s success, encouraging employees to act like owners and put customers first. “We’re investing heavily in shaping our company culture,” Crusius says. “Individuals who work at hear.com say they are here to do more than a job. They’re helping change lives all around the world.”

61．What does the underlined part “this ill repute” in Para 1 refer to?

A．Hearing aids being too expensive to afford.

B．Hearing aids ignoring the needs of the elderly.

C．Hearing aids developing at a really slow pace.

D．Hearing aids being poor in design and function.

62．What does Para 2 mainly talk about?

A．The popularity of hear.com’s hearing aids.

B．The innovations in hear.com’s hearing aids.

C．The benefits brought by hear.som’s hearing aids.

D．The effort hear.com’s made to develop hearing aids.

63．What does the Hearing Success Program aim to do?

A．Add attractive features to hearing aids.

B．Help customers adjust to new hearing aids.

C．Find the possible causes for customers’ hearing loss.

D．Educate people about the consequences of hearing loss.

64．What can we infer about hear.com’s employees?

A．They take pride in their work.

B．They lack a sense of belonging.

C．They reject the company culture.

D．They cooperate well with review platforms.

65．What does the passage focus on?

A．Products and services of a hearing aid company.

B．Hearing problems in the elderly.

C．The company culture of hear.com.

D．Younger customers’ interest in hearing aids.

D

History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A great breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.

Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced while you are dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.

Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.

66．The main idea of this passage is that ________.

A．very little is really known about the meaning of dreams

B．it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleep

C．dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problems

D．Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses

67．The first paragraph is mainly organized by ________.

A．classifying types of experiments

B．summarizing the work of one researcher

C．comparing and exploring historical cases

D．telling in time order about one man’s research

68．If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have ________.

A．taken it seriously B．thought it was a ridiculous idea

C．tested it D．doubted it

69．The author probably thinks that ________.

A．dreaming is a better way than taking notes in scientific research

B．if we want to be creative, we must make use of our dreams

C．nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideas

D．dreaming is surely a good way to produce a new solution.

70．The underlined word “retiring” in the third paragraph most probably means ________.

A．going to sleep B．giving up your job C．having a break D．thinking of a solution

Too Far Away from It All?

A TV series in England, Away from It All, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people.

Its success is surprising because its main character is a shepherd (牧羊人), and the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV. There are also no stressful moments, busy offices, or crowded cities. Away From It All is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories of people’s kindness

The director of the series says its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. He says that watching Away from It All helps teenagers forget about the pressures of exams and homework, and the troubles that fill the world. He also claims that it’s a good sign that today’s youth are switching to happier TV series, as it shows they would like a happier and healthier life.

Although the series’ success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried. They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes (电视迷) and are using Away from It All as an excuse for not completing homework. Some students have even refused to study for exams because they say that they can only achieve happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely.

One mother, Lucy Linney, said of her son Patrick, “Before he started watching Away from it All, he loved challenges and volunteered every afternoon. But now he has become a couch potato. His grades have dropped and he no longer volunteers. He says it doesn’t matter as he just wants to ‘get away from it all’.”

And what do the experts say? Paula Ray, a doctor, says that TV can influence young people’s lifestyles. But she says that if a young person reacts as strongly as Patrick, it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in the behaviour.

71．What is the TV series Away From It All about? (no more than 8 words)

72．According to the director, why is Away From It All a success? (no more than 15 words)

73．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)

74．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words)

75．Do you agree with Dr. Paula Ray’s saying, “TV can influence young people’s lifestyles”? Please give your reason(s). (no more than 20 words)

76．Dear Chris,

How is it going? On learning that you are interested in the theme “China in the New Era: A Dynamic Tianjin Going Global” held by MFA on April 16th, ifs a great pleasure to brief you on the situation.

The event of MFA presenting Tianjin to the world caused widespread concern among Tianjiners, who were greatly convinced that Tianjin was bound to have a bright future and make great progress with economy and culture.

Tianjin is a famous city with a long history and colorful cultures. Blessed with a variety of places of interest, Tianjin is a good place to explore. The top ten tourist attractions are Tianjin Ancient Culture Street, Dagu Emplacement, Huangyaguan Great Wall, Dule Temple, Haihe River, Water Park, Panshan Mountain, Hotel Street and Food Street, Tianjin TV & Radio Tower and Zhonghuan Cailian. Besides, Tianjin is also the place where many art forms originate, prosper and develop. Among them, Tianjin Allegro, Jingdong Drum, Jingyun Drum, and Iron Drum are formed in Tianjin. Cross talk and Peking Opera are important representatives of Tianjin Quyi.

I hope that you can pay a visit to Tianjin if you have time in the near future. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Jin
