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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh．Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask: “How could you?”— but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．

My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.

Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said: “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.

Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.

My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.

21. Who tells this story?

 A. A dog. B. A child. C. A dog's owner.  D. A dog trainer.

22. Why did the dog's owner take his dog to the pound?

 A. He had a newborn baby. B. His wife did not like the dog.

 C. He was moving into a new building. D. He thought the dog tootroublesome.

23. Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?

 A. It hoped to be adopted by another family.  B. It continued to love its former owner.

 C. It did not trust humans any more.         D. It was excited about the pound.

24. Which of the following words can be used to describe the dog?

 A. relieved B. royal            C. scared  D. loyal

B

“An Uber self-driving car hit and killed a woman crossing the street in Arizona, U.S.,” police said on Monday marking the first death caused by an autonomous vehicle and a potential blow to the technology expected to transform transportation．

The ride services company said it was delaying North American tests of its self-driving vehicles, which are currently going on in Arizona, Pittsburgh and Toronto.

So-called robot cars, when fully developed by companies including Uber, are expected to thoroughly cut down on motor vehicle deaths and create billion-dollar businesses. But Monday’s accident highlighted the possible challenges ahead for the promising technology as the cars face real-world situations involving real people．

“This catastrophic accident highlights why we need to be exceptionally cautious when testing and applying autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads,” said Edward Markey, a member of the transportation committee, in a statement．

“Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking her bicycle outside the crosswalk on a four-lane road in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe at about 10 p.m. MST Sunday (0400 GMT Monday) when she was struck by the Uber vehicle traveling at about 65 kilometers per hour, ”police said．The car was in autonomous mode with an operator behind the wheel．U.S federal safety officials were sending teams to investigate the crash．Canada’s transportation ministry in Ontario, where Uber conducts testing, also said it was reviewing the accident．

“Uber and Waymo on Friday urged Congress to pass a law to speed the introduction of self-driving cars into the United Sates. However, some congressional representatives have blocked the legislation over safety concerns, and Monday’s death could hamper passage of the bill,” congressional assistants said Monday.

25. According to the passage, which is the effect of the accident of the woman’s being killed?

A. People will be cautious while crossing a road.
B. The woman’s family will obtain a billion dollars.
C. The process of transforming transportation will be affected.
D. Self-driving vehicles will cut down on motor vehicles deaths.

26. The underlined word “hamper” in the last paragraph most probably mean_________.

A. make B. prevent C. start D. accelerate

27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To arouse the public concerns over a self-driving safety.
B. To remind car producers to be more careful when testing vehicles technology.
C. To advise the Congress to pass a law to speed self-driving cars test in the U.S.
D. To urge the U.S federal safety regulators to take measures to look into the accident.

C

One form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned (皱眉) upon by their children and grandchildren?

Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.

When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”

Another development that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of video games available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.

Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don’t have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.

28. What is the common attitude like towards the old in using modern technology?

A. Objective.   B. Prejudiced.    C. Supportive.   D. Doubtful.

29. What does the “grey gamers” refer to in the text?

A. The old who don’t like computer games. B. The teenagers skilled in computer games.

C. The aged computer game players.  D. The young computer game lovers

30. What is “the truth” in the last paragraph?

A. Computer games are not suitable for the elder. 

B. The teenagers are surely better in games skills.

C. The old are much less skilled in games.   

D. The old are better in some game skills.

31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A. Who are Better Gamers, the Old or the Young? 

B. What “Grey Gamers” Like and Dislike

C. Computer Games Unfit for the Old?          

D. How Computer Games Develop

     D

 The importance of liking people is the subject of an article in the Harvard Business Review, which has carried out an experiment to find out who we’d rather work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both brilliant at their jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools and competent jerks (性情古怪的人), we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them.

 What companies should therefore do is get people to like each other more. The trick here is apparently to make sure staffs come across each other as often as possible during the day. They also should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendliness and break down displeasure. However, more outdoor-activity weekends and shared coffee machines inspire no confidence at all.

 The reality is that people either like each other or they don’t. You can’t force it. Possibly you can make offices friendlier by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two are interrelated: we tend not to like our workmates when they are completely hopeless. I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I found her to be so outstandingly bad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up not really liking her at all. Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it?

 By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I think this is a pretty good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is only one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it.

Not only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.

32. According to the research, which kind of colleagues would people tend to choose?

A. Nice but unintelligent.    B. Creative but unattractive.  

C. Competent but unfriendly.   D. Humorous but not ambitious.

33. The author talks about her experience to showthat _______.

A. people respect outstanding leaders

B. people tend to like optimistic workmates

C. a workmate’s working ability is important

D. talkative workmates makes offices friendlier

34. Some people think that similar people working together may _______

A. offend each other      B. create fewer new ideas

C. talk more and work less    D. work less efficiently

35. To encourage workmates to like each other, companies could _________.

A. arrange the training course for workers to study together

B. organize team-building activities outside the office

C. encourage a diversity of opinions in workplace

D. employ staff who have a lot in common

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。

It is sometimes thought that the longing for material goods, the need to buy things, is a relatively modern invention.   36   Trade or shopping is certainly an ancient desire, and existed before our ancestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools.

Humans are born to trade.   37   Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist.  

Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes (斧子).   38   Finally, both groups of “producers”, by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for other things they needed, benefited as a result.

Trade in the necessities of life, such as food and simple tools, is not really surprising, considering the link between these basic items and survival. What is surprising, though, is that our taste for unnecessary expensive objects also goes back a long way.  

In South Africa, 100,000-year-old decorative dyes (染料) have been found in an area where none were produced.   39   Small round pieces of glass 76,000 years old were also found at the same place. The earliest jewellery known to us were not just random findings — they were grouped together in size and had holes like those used for threading onto a necklace.

Archaeologists argue that trade prepared the way for the complex societies in which we live today.   40   However, their modern equivalents — fast cars and expensive clothes — hold the same attraction for us as “trade goods” did for people 100,000 years ago. 

A. And we don’t need shops or money to do it. 

B. These are powerful evidence for cash purchase. 

C. In fact, its roots go back to the beginning of humanity. 

D. However, first trade began from the exchange of objects.

E. Modern-day shoppers may not be impressed by ancient glass pieces. 

F. It is thought that these goods were bought at least 30 kilometres away. 

G. Every individual along the chain made a profit, even if he produced neither himself.

Way back in 1674, a frog helped Antoni van Leeuwenhoek make an incredible discovery. Antoni was an amateur scientist from Holland, so fascinated by microscopes   61   he built some of his own. One rainy day, as he went for a walk, a leaping frog   62   (draw) his attention to a puddle.

Antoni collected a drop of puddle water and put it   63   his microscope. He was amazed  64  (see) a whole community of creatures swimming in this one drop — tiny beings no one had ever seen before.

These tiny beings, called microbes, are everywhere: in dirt, in food and on your kitchen table. People   65   (cover) in them, too.   66   you were to count all the microbes on and inside your body, you would find your body has more microbes than the world has people — over 6 billion! 

Microbes can’t survive on   67   (they) own. They need food. After   68   (settle) into a home — you, for instance — they steal vitamins and other nutrients and leave behind dead cells and poisonous liquids called toxins. Some microbes can make you sick. People usually call these ones germs.   69   (lucky) for you, there are more   70   (help) microbes, working together to keep you healthy, than bad ones.
