第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece.In around 8 A.D.,the Romans built the Colosseum,which remains the world?s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design.Rome?s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances,seating 50,000 people.However,that was small fry compared with the city?s Circus Maximus,which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days,safety regulations — not to mention the modern sports fan?s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world,we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far,which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity,as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional,still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
• Rungrado 1st of May Stadium,Pyongyang,D.P.R.Korea.Capacity:150,000.Opened:May 1,1989.
• Michigan Stadium,Ann Arbor,Michigan,U.S.Capacity:107,601.Opened:October 1,1927.
• Beaver Stadium,State College,Pennsylvania,U.S.Capacity:106,572.Opened:September 17,1960.
• Ohio Stadium,Columbus,Ohio,U.S.Capacity:104,944.Opened:October 7,1922.
• Kyle Field,College Station,Texas,U.S.Capacity:102,512.Opened:September 24,1927.
21.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?
A.104,944.　　　　　　B.107,601.
C.About 150,000. D.About 250,000.
22.Of the following stadiums,which is the oldest?
A.Michigan Stadium.
B.Beaver Stadium.
C.Ohio Stadium.
D.Kyle Field.
23.What do the listed stadiums have in common?
A.They host big games.
B.They have become tourist attractions.
C.They were built by Americans.
D.They are favored by architects.
B
When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)?
These days you?d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn?t own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.
Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones,according to a survey(调查).Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it?s not really necessary and they?re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor(因素) — only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who?ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn?t the only factor; I?d say it?s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?
24.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?
A.Their target users.
B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions.
D.Their complex design.
25.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Admit. B.Argue.
C.Remember. D.Remark.
26.What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A.They like smartphone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers? identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
27.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It is as important as the gas light.
C
You?ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源) of plastic pollution,but they?ve recently come under fire because most people don?t need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that?s part of Von Wong?s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明) a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload?s worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they?d been dumped(倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
28.What are Von Wong?s artworks intended for?
A.Beautifying the city he lives in.
B.Introducing eco-friendly products.
C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D.Reducing garbage on the beach.
29.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A.To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B.To explain why they are useful.
C.To voice his views on modern art.
D.To find a substitute for them.
30.What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?
A.Calming. B.Disturbing.
C.Refreshing. D.Challenging.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Artists? Opinions on Plastic Safety
B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
D
During an interview for one of my books,my interviewer said something I still think about often.Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰) in his open office,he said,“That?s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street—so I can focus.” His comment struck me as strange.After all,coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout(布局).But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking.They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background,from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels,and 85 decibels.The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however,the participants in the 70 decibels group — those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop—significantly outperformed the other groups.Since the effects were small,this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant,the study also suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one?s creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander,without making it impossible to focus.This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that,in our offices,we can?t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others? conversations while we?re trying to focus.Indeed,the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process,and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
32.Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
A.It helps him concentrate.
B.It blocks out background noise.
C.It has a pleasant atmosphere.
D.It encourages face-to-face interactions.
33.Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?
A.Total silence.
B.50 decibels.
C.70 decibels.
D.85 decibels.
34.What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?
A.Personal privacy unprotected.
B.Limited working space.
C.Restrictions on group discussion.
D.Constant interruptions.
35.What can we infer about the author from the text?
A.He?s a news reporter.
B.He?s an office manager.
C.He?s a professional designer.
D.He?s a published writer.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
According to Jessica Hagy,author of How to Be Interesting,it?s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
　36　,if you?re out of your comfort zone or if you?re wandering into somebody?s house for the first time.So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous,trying different foods and talking to strangers. 
People love to talk about themselves.If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”,you?ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you?re talking to.　37　,it can bring in “I have this old,broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation. 
　38　? If you can?t take their wine away,you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台).If you?re the host,you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.　39　. 
And what about that other dinner-party killer:awkward silence? If you?re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party,the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬).　40　.Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.” 
So being interesting at a dinner party isn?t that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question “How did you get here?”
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won?t stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most

W:Hello,ladies and gentlemen! Today,we have invited Prof.Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society.Welcome to our show,Prof.Stone.
M:To begin with,I?d like to tell a story from my own life.Several years ago,when my grandparents were well into their 80s,they were no longer able to care for themselves very well.My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home⑮ they had known for the past 60 years.The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them.Indeed,old age for them,and many old Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one?s health,but the loss of identity and self-worth.⑯
W:Yes,it?s true.What do you have to say about the problem of old age?
M:Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care,and the development of public services for senior citizens.Today,I?d like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that the elderly can play and should play in our society.⑰
(Text 10)
W:Talking about personal relationships,well,I?d naturally think of my relationship with my mother.⑳Whenever I need help,my mother is always there for me.She often tells me that I can be anyone I want,as long as I?m confident of myself.⑱She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can.As I was growing up,we were often on the move.I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely.⑲But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy.In fact,so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close.I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child,but as an equal.She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all.Unlike friendships that can fade or break,I know I?ll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face.She is not just a role model,but someone I love.
阅读理解
A
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上几个最大的体育场的相关信息。
21.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However...which accommodated around 250,000 people.”可知,该体育场可容纳大约250 000人。故选D项。
22.C　细节理解题。根据最后的黑体字部分比较不同体育场的开放年代可知,Ohio Stadium最古老。故选C项。
23.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“All these stadiums are still functional,still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.”可知,这些体育场的共同点是都开放并举办世界重大的体育赛事。故选A项。
【解题技巧】应用文着重考查考生对细节理解的把握。大多题目按照段落发展顺序设置,规律鲜明,各小题之间互不干扰。这类文章考查的题目相对容易,不易丢分。应对这类文章,可以采取先题后文的顺序答题。省时省力,且正确率高。
具体解题步骤:
第一步:阅读题目找出关键词;
第二步:带着关键词锁定位置,找出相关信息;
第三步:对比选项及文章原句,确定答案。
B
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要剖析了在几乎人人都有一部手机的澳大利亚,仍然有超过半数的家庭拥有座机背后的原因。
24.B　段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知,在澳大利亚很难找到一个15岁以上还没有手机的人,甚至一些年龄更小的孩子都有手机。这表明手机在澳大利亚很普及。故选B项。
25.A　词义猜测题。根据上文得知,虽然在澳大利亚几乎人人都有手机,但是还有55%的家庭拥有座机。画线词是指1/3拥有座机的人承认座机确实没有什么必要。故选A项。
26.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Baby Boomers who?ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.”可知,婴儿潮一代的人可能已经使用相同的住宅号码50年了。故选C项。
27.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?”可知,煤气路灯和清晨送奶工都已不存在,因此此处暗示着座机早晚也会过时。故选B项。
【解题思路】第27题是个难点,最后一段段落短小和要理解字面表述背后暗含的真实可能是解题障碍。考生可以使用选项排除法和将题目选项与实际生活相联系法进行答题:
A项说座机仍然是一个家庭必需品,显然不选。因为在实际生活中,家家户户都依赖手机而非座机,而且文中也提到在澳大利亚人们留着座机只是为了以防突发紧急情况的发生,排除A项;C项说座机可能会增加日常开销,文中并未提及,排除。D项说座机和煤气路灯一样重要。在日新月异的现代社会,煤气路灯早已不再使用,排除。

29.A　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知,塑料吸管不是塑料污染的最大来源,但是由于体积和重量轻的缘故,它们不能被回收利用。故选A项。
30.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Every 60 seconds...which were then tied together to look like they?d been dumped from a truck all at once.”可知,这么多塑料垃圾倒入海洋,数量之庞大,很有震撼性,从而会令人不安。故选B项。

第一节
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者是一名护士,曾经认为如果我们有一系列表达不同程度的感谢的词汇,感谢将会变得很容易。这种想法很快得到了检验:一位病得很严重的女病人,在整个医疗团队的精心护理下康复出院时,为感谢一名护士给她整理头发,给了这名护士5英镑作为额外报酬。护士拒绝了这份报酬,但女病人认为拯救生命是医生和护士的工作职责,但整理头发却不是。
41.C　根据第三段中的to each of us in the nursing team,可知,“我”是一名护士。
42.A　句意:我那时想,如果我们有一系列表达不同程度的感谢的词汇,(感谢)将会变得很容易。这里的grade指“程度”。
43.B　下文的故事内容是用来说明“我”的这一想法的。作者的想法很快就得到了检验。brush aside不理会;put... to the test对……加以检验;bring... under discussion引起讨论;take... into account 把……考虑在内。
44.D　句意:我们有位女病人正处于膝盖置换手术的康复期。depart出发;escape逃避,逃离;retire退休;recover康复。
45.A　根据下文的get into bed she collapsed可知,这位女病人尝试上床时,摔倒了。
46.A　此处表示摔倒的原因最后被诊断出是心脏病发作。eventually最后;fortunately幸运地;casually随意地;secretly秘密地。
47.B　根据前半句摔得非常严重可知,需要紧急医疗队和良好的团队合作。
48.C　根据前半句的she recovered及其后的though可知,这里是说虽然康复很慢,但是四周后她准备出院。
49.A　根据上文得知病人康复后,是感激医疗护理团队的付出。grateful感激的;thoughtful考虑周到的;sorrowful悲伤的;fearful恐惧的。
50.B　这里是说她康复了,“我”们都为她感到高兴。surprise惊讶;delight高兴;curiosity好奇;disappointment失望。
51.D　上文提到这位女病人要康复出院了,所以这里指她离开。
52.C　上文提到要离开,所以这里指要和所有护理人员说再见。
53.A　这位女病人在和大家告别时,她走到一个护士身边。
54.D　根据本句开头的“我”同事,和下半句中的“我”们只是做了自己的本职工作可知,这位护士拒绝了病人的好意。
55.B　根据just可知,这里想说只是做了应做的工作。
56.C　根据上一句护士的反应可知,女病人知道这位护士曲解了她的本意,于是她做出回答。
57.D　结合女病人的反应以及后一句的回应,可以看出女病人不是因为自己在医院得到的照顾而感谢护士。
58.B　结合上一句,女病人把护士对她的护理工作当成了理所当然(take...as a given)的事情。
【难点剖析】第58题是个难点,正确答案涉及的这个用法是平常学习中未接触过的。我们通过“左顾右盼”分析出本句中的that指上一句提到的护士对病人的照顾,从下一句得知病人给护士的钱不是因为感谢照顾而给的。由此可以判定,病人把这种照顾当作医生的分内事。下一步我们逐个分析选项的基本含义:goal目标;given认定的事实;push推动;greeting问候。照顾病人是护士给予病人的工作职责,故given最合适。
59.C　结合全文线索可知,这里是医护人员救病人的生命。
60.D　结合文章内容可知,在病人看来,救命是医生和护士的职责所在,但是替病人整理头发却是额外工作。
【解题策略】
一、研读首句(找主题)
二、上下联系(寻信息)
三、左顾右盼(找搭配)
四、思前想后(觅逻辑)
五、把握主线(定情景)
六、分析语境(辨词义)
七、集中精力(破难题)
八、复读检查(补漏洞)

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了生态旅游和传统旅游的区别以及生态旅游需要遵循的原则。
61.educated　考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词做表语。由于educate和the traveler之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用动词-ed形式。
62.development　考查名词。根据空格前面的定冠词the可知,所填的词是名词形式,故用development。
63.its　考查代词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词修饰名词origin做定语,故用形容词性物主代词。
64.until　考查连词。分析句子结构并结合前面的not可知,本句是not...until...结构。
65.the　考查冠词。所填的词位于名词的前面,且名词后有of短语做定语,因此该名词是特指,故用定冠词。
66.of　考查介词。various types of...各种各样的……。
67.visiting　考查非谓语动词。所给的词是动词且位于介词后,故用动词-ing形式。
68.financial　考查形容词。所填的词修饰名词aid,故用financial。
69.Activities　考查名词单复数。所给单词是名词,结合句子的谓语动词range可知,该名词要用其复数形式。
70.to have　考查非谓语动词。aim to do sth旨在做某事,故填to have。

Be smart online learners 
As we all know,time is rather limited in today?s society and the online courses break the limitation of time and space,providing us with great convenience to study.Thus,its popularity is easy to foresee and understand.
However,there also exist some disadvantages.Online learning does harm to our eyesight.Apart from that,the outcome of study can?t be guaranteed,especially for those who lack self-control.Moreover,the atmosphere of the class is not warm enough,which leads to a lack of communication between teachers and students.
In my opinion,if you can take full advantage of every possible means appropriately to study with self-discipline,it won?t matter whether you study online or in the classroom.I do hope all of us can be smart online learners.
