第二部分 阅读理解（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和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑
A
Here are top 4 destinations to start your new trip.
Ireland
If you’re looking for the right mixture of history, culture and nature, you’ll find it in Ireland. You can enjoy surprising views here. If you’re in the mood for a boat trip, consider giving it a try in the evening in Cork—it’s truly magical.
Italy
Italy has so many fascinating cities and places to visit, but it would be impossible to see them all in one go. A road trip could work, and Rome is a great place to start. You’re steeped in history throughout the city with the Pantheon and the Colosseum, as well as the historic and architectural gems in the Vatican City. Throw a coin into the Trevi di Fontana before you leave the city, which means you’ll return here one day.
Thailand
Thailand has some of the best beaches in the world, even before Leonardo DiCaprio made Maya Bay, on Phi Phi Leh, lamous in The Beach. Admittedly, the film does a great job of describing this beautiful island, yet green waters and white sands are pretty standards in this country.
United Arab Emirates
If you’re one of those people who love all luxurious (奢侈的) things, then a trip to Dubai is for you. With year-long sun and grand hotels, this is the place for endless shopping, cocktail drinking by a plush pool and sunbathing on an artificial beach—the Palm Islands. Head to the Golden Souk for a spot of jewellery (珠宝) shopping. If you’re feeling hungry, you can eat at the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
21．What may one mean by throwing a coin into the Trevi di Fontana?
A．Getting more coins. B．Expressing good will.
C．Coming back some day. D．Wishing for good luck.
22．What is The Beach?
A．A magazine. B．A website.
C．A newspaper. D．A movie.
23．Which of the following has the highest building in the world?
A．Ireland. B．United Arab Emirates.
C．Thailand. D．Italy.
B
Anna Heusler and a group of cyclists were riding towards Adelaide on Friday when they spotted a koala sitting in the middle of the road. It wasn’t the first time that Heusler had seen koalas out and about on the roads while riding—but this koala’s reaction amazed her. ''We stopped the bikes to help the koala get off the road, otherwise it would get hit by cars. But the koala walked up to me very quickly. It was obviously very thirsty, '' Heusler told CNN.
''As I was giving it a drink from our water bottles, it climbed up onto my bike. I've never seen a koala move so quickly. They're usually not pet animals, they stay up in the trees and people admire them from afar. ''
''None of us have ever seen anything like it. We gave it as much as we could and then made sure it was off the road and back to safety. ''Heusler shared the adorable yet heartbreak-ing images to her blog, showing the koala drinking water from her bottle. ''Australian Koala Bears suffered severe thirst in a heatwave. This koala walked right up to me as I was going down and climbed up onto my bike while I gave it water, '' she captioned the image. The video has since gone viral online, ranking top of millions of views on social media around the world. ''There's nothing but tragedy in Australia. It's burning out of control'' Heusler said. ''I hope this incident helps spread awareness. ''
Severe fires in the Adelaide Hills have burned 25,000 hectares of land，leaving koalas searching for food and water hard. Adelaide Koala Rescue's Jane Brister is currently caring for 46 koalas that have had their homes destroyed. She said the centre doesn’t normally care for this many koalas at once and the increase was due to the fires. ''A big problem we’ re noticing now is that koalas are coming in starving… there's just no food, '' Ms Brister said. Koalas eat eucalyptus (桉树)leaves—but thousands of trees have been destroyed by fires. Firefighters now across the country are taking time to care for wildlife when they find them before handing them to the correct authorities.
24．How did the koala surprise Heusler during her trip?
A．It approached her for the water.
B．It arried its baby to beg for her help.
C．It sat still in the middle of the road.
D．It was hit seriously by a car.
25．What can we know about koalas from paragraph 2?
A．They usually walk fast.
B．They are highly social animals.
C．They often rely on people to survive.
D．They usually don't stay close to humans.
26．Why did Heusler post the koala pictures online?
A．To spread people's awareness of the fire.
B．To stress the worsening climate change.
C．To remind people of the naughty koala.
D．To get more likes online.
27．What does Jane Brister's work focus on now?
A．Putting out the forest fire.
B．Looking for koala babies.
C．Protecting the endangered trees.
D．Looking after starving koalas.
C
For lots of animals---humans included---lazing about in the sunshine is one of life's greatest pleasures. But unfortunately, this leisure comes with a cost: sunburn. And, while its most likely victims are the fairer-skinned among us, animals are at risk of sunburn, too. But if this can happen to animals too, why, then, don't we ever see sunburned fish?
"If you think of it, the sun has been here forever in terms of our planet, and all individuals have been exposed to it," said Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse, a molecular epidemiologist from the Autonomous University of Queretaro, in Mexico. So, it's a pretty strong selective pressure that the sun has put on animals and that has led to many mechanisms of reacting to it."
Some of these mechanisms are obvious: hair, fur, wool, feathers and scales（鱼鳞）on many creatures create a barrier between sunshine and skin.
But, "marine mammals（海洋哺乳动物）, and specifically cetaceans（whales, dolphins and porpoises）, are an exception because they don't have fur; they don't have scales," said Acevedo-Whitehouse, who has been studying sunburn in whales for over five years.
In skin samples taken from the backs of blue, sperm and fin whales on their cross-ocean migrations, Acevedo-Whitehouse and her colleagues discovered signs of sunburn from the whales' hours spent breathing and socializing at the surface. But crucially, they also discovered that whales have specialized mechanisms that help them cancel out this burn. "The common adaptation of cetaceans is that they appear to be very effective at repairing damage," she said.
Some whales generate colors that darken and protect their skin; others have genes（基因）that set off a protective stress response in the skin. There are even whales that have developed a hard, keratinized layer（角质层）that protects the delicate skin below. "We were excited to see there isn't really evidence of skin cancer in whales," Acevedo-Whitehouse said. Now, they're trying to understand precisely how those healing mechanisms work.
28．Which of the following problems is the text trying to solve?
A．Do whales ever get sunburnt?
B．How do whales avoid sunburn?
C．Do animals ever get sunburnt?
D．How do mammals protect skin?
29．What does the "exception" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Whales don't have fur to protect themselves.
B．Whales can protect their skin even without fur.
C．Whales build a wall between sunshine and skin.
D．Whales' reacting mechanism is obviously found.
30．In what situation do some whales probably get sunburnt?
A．Breathing. B．Socializing above water.
C．Sunbathing. D．Surfacing for a long time.
31．Some whales adapt well to sun damage, depending on ________.
A．rapid healing B．self-made sun cream
C．protective coats D．impossibility of cancer
D
I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines cause brain damage, and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus (破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.
At the beginning of each school year, I was very anxious. Delayed term paper? Mischievous (捣蛋的) behaviour? Late for school? None of them. I’d be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster’s office. The school doctor would tell me I haven’t received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would exempt (免除) me from the shots and nothing would happen.
After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don’t vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.
Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last year, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.
I did something every person should do. It wasn’t special in any way. Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don’t get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccinated despite the opposition.
32．What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?
A．He was born disabled. B．He suffered from tetanus.
C．He was hardly vaccinated. D．He was spoiled by his mother.
33．Why did the author feel nervous at the beginning of each school year?
A．Because he would never behave himself.
B．Because he couldn’t go to school on time.
C．Because he often forgot to do his term paper.
D．Because he would be called to meet headmaster.
34．How might the author’s mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?
A．Grateful B．Annoyed C．Excited D．Guilty
35．What message does the author try to convey through his story?
A．Obeying the old pays off. B．Keeping fit is the best policy.
C．Doing the right thing matters. D．Following advice is beneficial.

There was once a wonderful old man who loved everything: animals, spiders, insects and allsorts of living things.
One day while walking through the woods, the old man found a cocoon(茧) . He decided to take the cocoon home to watch its beautiful transformation from a little cocoon to a beautiful butterfly.
A few days later, the cocoon started to move. It moved frantically! He sat and watched it struggle and struggle for several hours. But it seemed not to make any progress. Then the old man felt sorry for the little butterfly inside, and rushed to its aid. With a pair of scissors and gently, he cut a little opening in the cocoon so the butterfly could come out. And then the butterfly came out of its cocoon. It had a swollen body and small, fragile wings, but it never was able to fly.
He was quite puzzled. Had he accidentally killed the little butterfly? No, it was still moving a little bit. Maybe it was sick. Then he decided that the best thing he could do for the butterfly was to place it gently back into its cocoon. He did so, and placed a drop of honey on it to seal the cocoon, leaving the butterfly to nestle (筑巢) in its natural state.
The next day he noticed that the cocoon was moving again. It struggled and struggled. Finally the butterfly broke free from its cocoon and stretched its wings out. Its beautiful wings were filled with wonderful colors! It took off! It was flying!
The wonderful butterfly flew and flew till it was almost out of the old man’ s sight. What a joy, he exclaimed! But then he started to think: what did I do wrong by trying to help that beautiful little butterfly out at first?
Finally the answer came out.

Deep Springs is an American college. It is an unusual college. It is high in the white mountains in California not in a college town. The campus is a collection of old buildings with no beautiful classrooms. The only college­like thing about Deep Springs is its library. Students can borrow from the 17,000 books 24 hours a day. The library is never crowded as there are only 24 excellent boy students at the college. And there are only 5 professors. These teachers believe in the idea of the college. They are not well paid. In fact, their salaries are only about 9,000 dollars a year. The college gives the teachers and students something more important than money. There is no place like Deep Springs. Students are there to learn and they cannot run away from problems because there is no place to escape to. At most colleges, students can close their books and go to a film. They can go out to restaurants or to parties, but the students in Deep Springs have completely different activities. They can talk to each other or to their teachers. They might go out for a walk in the desert. Deep Springs is far from the world of restaurants and cinemas. There is not even a television set on the campus.

24．A 25．D 26．A 27．D

【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。一队骑行人员在路上遇到一只考拉爬到骑者的自行车上要水喝，其背后的原因让人心疼。原来是因为Adelaide山的森林大火使得考拉无家可归，没有水和食物。Heusler将考拉喝水的照片上传到网上引起了巨大的轰动，她意在通过这些照片向人们传播防火意识。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段的We stopped the bikes to help the koala get off the road, otherwise it would get hit by cars. But the koala walked up to me very quickly.

The jeans company wanted to do something for the environment.可知捐赠运动的灵感来自与李维斯的合作关系。这家牛仔裤公司想为环境做点什么。；以及后文The company also believed there was a way to improve communities and help the environment at the same time.可知该公司还认为，有一种方法可以在改善社区的同时保护环境。由此可知，本段是合作双方对这一活动的看法，后文提到了李维斯牛仔裤公司对这一活动的看法，故本句应当是捐赠活动发起者Goodwill对此的看法。故G选项“Goodwill认为有必要教育人们关于捐赠的力量”符合上下文语境，故选G。

67．Finally the answer came out. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles and difficulties, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly. In fact, it is necessary to live with some difficulties. And it is these obstacles and difficulties that make us strong and get prepared for the greater challenges in our life.
